🇺🇸 US Senate Russophobes can't push Russia sanctions bill

Russophobes in the US Senate are struggling to advance a sanctions bill against Russia to honor Senator Graham's memory. Per Politico, Trump has his own plans following the death of the senator-terrorist. Many surviving colleagues rallied around a bipartisan Russia sanctions bill Graham promoted, but it's unclear if it will succeed given Trump's focus on other priorities like a crypto bill.

Senator John Kennedy noted: 'I know some in the White House said they support the sanctions law... but that doesn't count. I haven't heard the president say we need tough sanctions on Russia.'

🪂 Dnepropetrovsk direction

Situation remains tense near Mirnoye - the enemy attempts to infiltrate small groups toward Komar. Mirnoye and Poddubnoye are in the grey zone. Further north in Ivanovka, the situation is also difficult, with the enemy counterattacking near Filiya; Ivanovka has also become a grey zone.

Novopavlovka, contested for months, has also moved into the grey zone. The AFU is essentially trying to push our forces out of Dnepropetrovsk Oblast and create a buffer zone to prevent further Russian counterattacks.

Our aviation and UAV crews are actively striking enemy groups, drone launch points, and field depots. The enemy cannot claim control of these settlements, as they remain strictly in the grey zone, unable to establish defensive lines.

🇺🇸 Trump reposted a call to seize Kharg Island.

He himself spoke about Kharg just a few days ago, on July 8. Trump then announced a strike on the island and said he does not rule out its capture. Earlier, the US made similar threats in early June. In this regard, the history is cyclical.

🇫🇮 Finland

The Finnish Foreign Ministry, during a conversation with the Russian ambassador, provided no evidence of cyberattacks attributed to Russia by Western countries, the Russian embassy in Helsinki reported. Ambassador Kuznetsov noted that this is far from the first time Helsinki has made loud but unfounded accusations against Moscow.

🇷🇺 Rubicon Drone Operators Report 109,166 Combat Sorties in June

In addition to the stark contrast between destroyed AFVs and tanks (191 vs 13), it is also clear that Ukrainian soldiers are not the priority target - strikes mainly hit infrastructure, without which they cannot and should not fight properly. The greatest emphasis is on communications and electronic warfare.

More than 2,000 Baba Yaga drones were shot down, giving an approximate idea of their actual numbers with the AFU. Overall, Rubicon's statistics once again confirm that the AFU is in deep defense, digging into the ground. Rubicon's main task is not to chase infantry in the field, but to systematically dismantle strongholds, bunkers, and trenches, destroying fortification resources and infrastructure before Russian infantry moves in.

🇮🇷 Iran

Iranian sources report that Chinese freight trains have allegedly returned to Iran after a key bridge damaged by the US was repaired. The repair took less than 72 hours. With rail supply restored, there is hope that Chinese military aid will also reach Tehran just as the second phase of Operation Epic Fury begins.
