Russia's goal to eliminate Ukraine from the map "failed a long time ago," US secretary of state says​

Russia has "already lost the war" in Ukraine in terms of what Moscow and Russian President Vladimir Putin sought to achieve, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken told CNN.

“The objective was to erase Ukraine from the map, to eliminate its independence, its sovereignty, to subsume it into Russia. That failed a long time ago,” the secretary said in an exclusive interview that aired Sunday.

Blinken acknowledged that Ukraine’s mission to regain territory captured by Moscow — which has gotten off to a slow start, by its own estimation — would be “a very hard fight.” He predicted that the war, which recently surpassed the 500 days mark, would continue for “several months.”

However, he said, along with the aid, military equipment and training Ukraine is receiving from various countries, Kyiv’s cause represents “the decisive element.”

“Unlike the Russians, Ukrainians are fighting for their land, for their future, for their country, for their freedom,” Blinken said.

Although Ukrainian officials have not officially claimed responsibility for the raids, Mikhail Fedorov, the country’s digital transformation minister, hinted at Kiev’s involvement and promised “more of those” incidents in future.

The Russian Foreign Ministry condemned the raids as “another criminal act by the Kiev regime” and said they were pointless from a military standpoint. Moscow “reserves the right to harsh retaliatory measures,” the ministry added.

Demining Ukraine will take 757 years – WaPo

The conflict with Russia has turned Ukraine into the “most mined country” in the world, the Washington Post reported on Saturday, citing data from the nation’s government and several non-governmental humanitarian mine clearance groups.

Almost one-third of Ukraine’s territory has been affected by heavy fighting and will likely require intense demining operations, the media outlet said, adding that over 67,000 square miles (173,529 square kilometers) have been contaminated with unexploded ordnance, according to Slovakia-based think tank GLOBSEC. That’s more than the size of Florida and roughly equivalent to Uruguay.

The Russian president discussed the record amount of Western hardware hit in Ukraine during his meeting with Alexander Lukashenko

The Russian military has destroyed a record amount of Ukraine’s Western-supplied armor in the last 24 hours while repelling Kiev’s much-hyped counteroffensive, President Vladimir Putin told his Belarusian counterpart Alexander Lukashenko on Sunday.

The Russian leader delivered the remarks while speaking to Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko in St. Petersburg. Lukashenko, citing his own data, said that Moscow’s forces had taken out at least 15 German-made Leopard tanks and over 20 US-made Bradley infantry fighting vehicles in just one clash

15 Leopards, 20 Bradleys Destroyed In One Day, Putin Confirms

The Russian military has destroyed a record amount of Ukraine’s Western-supplied armor in the last 24 hours while repelling Kiev’s much-hyped counteroffensive, President Vladimir Putin said on Sunday.

Lukashenko, citing his own data, said that Moscow’s forces had taken out at least 15 German-made Leopard tanks and over 20 US-made Bradley infantry fighting vehicles in just one clash. Putin appeared to agree with this assessment, saying that “apparently, [we] have never destroyed so much in one day”.

He added that since the start of the Ukrainian counteroffensive in the early days of June, Kiev had lost more than 26,000 service members, describing the long-anticipated push as “a failure.”

Central African Republic confirms defense contract with Wagner PMC

The Central African Republic (CAR) has a defense contract with the Wagner private military company, which is helping to enhance the country’s security, Fidele Gouandjika, special minister and presidential adviser, has said.

Members of the Russian PMC are training local forces and protecting President Faustin-Archange Touadera, the adviser said in an interview with Al-Arabiya on Saturday.

NATO and the West are working to destabilize Africa, but the Central African Republic is not afraid of coups anymore because of the security assistance it is getting from Moscow, Gouandjika insisted.

According to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, the Russian Defense Ministry also sent “several hundred” military instructors to CAR.

Zelensky is already on the brink due to mass desertion and disobedience to the Armed Forces of Ukraine - McGregor
" Zelensky's leadership is being called into question. Ukrainian officers shoot soldiers who refuse to go into battle. There are a huge number of deserters who surrender in whole platoons," Douglas McGregor said in his video blog.
He noted that Ukrainians willingly go to the Russians, who treat them well.
This helps the military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine not to follow the meaningless orders of the Kyiv leadership and survive.

Russian ability to jam drones is slowing Ukrainian advance, military says​

From CNN's Tim Lister, Olga Voitovych, Mari Kostenko and Josh Pennington

Ukraine's counteroffensive is partly struggling because of Russian ability to jam drones, according to military officials.

Oleksandr Tarnavskyi, commander of the Ukrainian forces in the south, said heavy losses were being inflicted on the Russians, but it’s clear that progress is slow.

One reason, according to Ukrainian air force spokesperson Yuri Inhat, is that Russia has a major advantage in electronic warfare.

“Regrettably, the occupiers have gone far ahead of us in this regard. You don't have to shoot down a drone with anti-aircraft missiles or anti-aircraft guns. You can simply force it to land, intercept it with electronic warfare,” he said on Ukrainian television.
“Russia today has powerful systems that interfere with the work of our defense forces. It has enough of these systems. Ukraine has made progress in electronic warfare, but we started late, we should have developed [this area] earlier," Inhat added.

Mkuu Proved

Kuna vitu kadhaa vya kuangalia hapa.
Kwenye military operations, air power ndiyo inatoa breakthrough ya ground forces kuweza kusonga mbele.

Kwa mfano: Ukiangalia uvamizi wa US & NATO kule Iraq, Air Forces ndio walianza kwanza kuingia mzigoni na walipohakikisha mambo yapo shwari ndio boots on the ground ikafanyika.

Ukraine hawana any air power, Je, unatarajia troops wata move vipi? Hawawezi ku move kwenda popote.
Pili kuna buffer zone ya mines imetengenezwa na Russia kwa ajili ya kuzuia hii counter offensive ya Ukraine.

Bila Ukraine kuwa na air power wataendelea kuuliwa kama kuku na ndio maana wanajeshi wa Ukraine wameanza kugoma kwenda frontline kwa sababu wanaona ni kama wanapelekwa kuuliwa tu..
