📝Will there be new sanctions?📝

A bipartisan group of senators, including Republicans Lindsey Graham (designated as a terrorist and extremist in Russia), Roger Wicker, as well as Democrats Jeanne Shaheen and Richard Blumenthal claim they have coordinated a document on additional sanctions against Russia with the administration.

🔻What's in the document?

▪️The agreements with the White House are based on a bill that was originally drafted in April 2025.
The bill aims to introduce sweeping secondary sanctions against Russian trading partners.

▪️The key measure of economic pressure will be the threat of imposing import tariffs of 500% on supplies of any goods to the United States from countries that continue to purchase Russian oil, natural gas, uranium and other raw materials.

The initiative comes from influential representatives of both parties, which practically guarantees the document smooth passage through the Senate and House of Representatives of Congress.

🖍And if it was indeed coordinated with the administration, this eliminates the risk of a presidential veto and Trump pressuring allies in Congress to vote against it.

❗️For now, we should wait for signals from the White House: if the president hints that what Graham said is true, this will once again confirm the thesis that the West is indeed consistently implementing a strategy to inflict serious damage to Russia's energy sector, combining strikes on refineries with sanctions measures.

The film '"ArBat": Unending Fellowship' is a collection of first-person stories. In this documentary, the film’s protagonists — ArBat battalion assault troops with the call signs ‘Fizruk’, ‘Seva’, ‘Getashen’, ‘Sharmanka’ and ‘Bars’ — talk about the realities of war, acts of courage, and the bond of brotherhood in combat.
They recount how they escorted civilians through minefields, one by one, evacuated the elderly and children under fire, and carried their fallen commander through kilometres of waterlogged mud with almost no strength left.

A soldier with the call sign ‘Seva’, a recipient of the Order of Courage, believes that ‘the most terrifying thing in war is losing someone close to you.’ On the frontline, mutual support, unity, and friendship become profoundly important, as all pretences fall away and people are revealed as they truly are.

Watch the premiere of the film by Alexander Kharchenko and Mikhail Burov '"ArBat": Unending Fellowship'.

• 📝Azov Shooting Range📝
How the AFU launches a campaign against Russian shipping

Ukrainian formations are transferring to the Sea of Azov the same model they previously tested in the Black Sea: instead of chasing a single high-profile sinking, the opponent has switched to methodical attacks on vessels and strikes against ports.

The first such episodes in the Azov waters were recorded back in February, but by early July, isolated raids have transformed into a full-fledged campaign.

🔻What is known about the attacks?

▪️The geography of strikes covers virtually the entire coastline — from Berdyansk and Mariupol to Taganrog, Azov, Yeisk, Temryuk and the Kerch Strait. Port cranes, electrical substations, fuel tanks, oil depots and vessel traffic management facilities have come under attack.

▪️Particularly high density of raids has been noted in the Kerch area, Kavkaz port, Chushka spit and anchorages in the Taman Bay. It is through this area that routes pass which are key to supplying Crimea.

▪️In parallel, the opponent has launched a mass hunt on the vessels themselves. Strike reports mention bulk carriers, tankers, ferries, tugboats, cutters and support vessels. Among them — "Volga-Balt 138," "Slavyanin," "Avangard," "Panagia," "Svetlyak," "Kapitan Barmin," "Venera-3," "Sanar-1," "Sanar-17," "Klimena," "Penelope" and others.

▪️A sharp increase in intensity occurred after July 6. In the following days, the opponent daily published footage of raids on multiple vessels, and on July 10 and 11 reported attacks on 13 and 28 vessels respectively. To date, attacks on more than 70 tankers and bulk carriers are known.

🖍Of course, Ukrainian figures must be treated with caution. The same vessel can appear in reports multiple times, and an attempted attack or near miss is often presented as a complete destruction.

However, even accounting for inflated claims, the systematic nature of what is happening is obvious. AFU UAVs appear daily over the same routes, track groups of vessels and strike both at them and at the infrastructure supporting their operations.

🔻What is the opponent's goal?

▪️According to some media platforms, passage through the Azov-Don Canal has already been suspended. Following this, freight costs and insurance premiums are rising, delivery times are increasing, and the number of those willing to work on dangerous routes is shrinking. This is particularly acute for Crimea, whose supply depends heavily on maritime transport.

▪️At the same time, the question "but where is the Black Sea Fleet?" by itself solves little.
