🇷🇺🇺🇦 Chasov Yar:

Ours took hold of the city firmly. Aviation and artillery have been hammering the enemy non-stop for three days, who, snarling, slowly retreats, surrendering position after position.

Moreover, the well-honed tactics of movement (powerful firepower in combination with short jerks to secure it) does not leave the Ukrainian Armed Forces any chance of holding it.

But Zelensky is not satisfied with this situation. For him, another military defeat (after Avdiivka) is unacceptable. Therefore, he is driving reserves into the city to prevent Chasov Yar from falling.

But as a result, he may simply burn up strategic reserves here for the summer campaign, as happened exactly a year ago in Artemovsk (Bakhmut). What is the result, incl. led to defeat in last year's "counter-offensive" and became the turning point of the war.

At the same time, our army today has something that did not exist a year ago - overwhelming superiority in weapons. Which will greatly complicate the enemy’s task of holding the city. It will also lead to huge, and essentially meaningless, losses.

🇨🇳🇷🇺 China began providing Russia with satellite imagery for missile strikes, microelectronics, tank production machines, optics and rocket fuel - Bloomberg.

According to the publication, citing its sources among American authorities, cooperation between Russia and China has intensified in recent months . Previously, the United States had already imposed sanctions against one of the Chinese companies that indirectly provided satellite images in the interests of the Wagner PMC.

Also, US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen this week said there would be “severe consequences” if companies, including Chinese, are found to be providing financial support to Russia and its military-industrial base against Ukraine.

Earlier, he also stated that arming Ukraine is not producing results and could ultimately lead to disaster.

🇺🇦 Vladimir Zelensky, during a Ukrainian news telethon, said that Ukraine does not have shells to conduct offensive attacks. “We don’t have shells for counter-offensive actions. To protect our state, there are several initiatives that have begun to work,” Zelensky said.

As Zelensky emphasized, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying to fill the shortage of artillery shells with the help of drones, which “help, but cannot be an alternative.”

🇺🇦 Zelensky said that Kyiv had become a hostage to the electoral process in the United States, and called the approach of congressmen to the decision on the allocation of assistance “immature”

As for American assistance, it is critical. Unfortunately, we are hostages precisely because this is an electoral process, these are elections in the United States.

According to him, the issue of supporting Ukraine has become a domestic political issue for the United States.

“It’s precisely this immature approach that I don’t understand,” Zelensky said.


I'll explain, initially the US doesn't give a f**k about anyone. If it is profitable for them, they do it, when it ceases to be, then they finish it. How a man became president and doesn’t understand it.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Russian aerial bombs threatened the strategic heights around Chasov Yar.

Nazar Voloshin, spokesman for the Khortitsa group, stated this in a commentary to CNN.

“Nazar Voloshin, the official representative of the Ukrainian army in the east, admitted that artillery and the increased use of glide bombs have threatened strategic heights around Chasov Yar in the Donetsk region,” the publication writes.

“They are dropping heavy bombs on us without even flying near the line of contact or entering our air defense zone,” Voloshin said.

According to him, the same tactics are used in the Avdeevka area. “When their aviation is operating, it is impossible for our defenders to work; they only need to hide in cover,” the speaker added.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 The British The Telegraph writes that the Russian Armed Forces are dropping tear gas, known as CS or “Lilac”, from drones onto the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces: the use of this gas during war is unacceptable in accordance with the Chemical Weapons Convention.

While CS gas is not lethal, it does cause panic that can cause soldiers to flee their trenches, leaving them vulnerable to conventional weapons, the publication says.
