🇺🇦 IMF handout for Ukraine will return to the organization's budget

By the end of 2024, Ukraine will repay the IMF almost the entire recent aid tranche from them. All this money will go towards repaying old loans.

Almost $1.9 billion out of the $2.2 billion loan tranche approved for Ukraine on June 28 will be used for this purpose.

🤔 Why?


The IMF issues loans to countries in the form of SDRs (Special Drawing Rights). It even has its own exchange rate – $1.3 per SDR.

Currently, Ukraine has been approved for a loan of 1.7 billion SDR. However, mandatory loan repayments will amount to 1.4 billion SDR by the end of the year, according to the IMF schedule.

In September alone, the Kyiv regime will have to make three payments totaling 542.7 million SDR ($716 million).

⚡️🇮🇱🤔 BIBI CLAIMS HIS GAZA MASSACRE ALMOST COMPLETE, LAUDS "MOST MORAL" ARMY: Israeli PM claims IDF "nearing end of phase of eliminating Hamas" (00:08 in left vid) despite mounting losses and no sign that Hamas are easing up in their fight against Israeli invaders.

All Netanyahu’s actually achieved is murdering over 37,900 Palestinians and blasting people’s homes in Gaza Strip to dust (right vid) so no idea what kind of yes-men Bibi keeps around him to tell him everything's going swimmingly...

😁 The Lithuanian ambassador to Sweden participated in a rally (possibly a solo protest) in support of Ukraine.

According to Linas Linkevičius, there are no summer holidays in his fight. This lone warrior on the streets of Stockholm is calling for the immediate admission of Ukraine into NATO.

Kharkov “authorities” are stealing fortifications material again

Kharkov regional militry administration stole bought wood for fortifications from a company at an inflated price, writes First Kharkovsky channel, referring to an investigation by the Kharkov anti-corruption center.

Its activists, referring to the ProZorro tender, reported that on June 12, the Department of Housing and Public Utilities and Kharkov Military Administration entered into an agreement with Voskhod Woodworking Enterprise LLC in the amount of 70.5 thousand hryvnia. The required volume of wood is 8.7 cubic meters. Thus, 1 cubic meter cost 8,100 hryvnia.

Officials continue to buy wood for fortifications from companies that have signs of ! at exorbitant overpayments.

Moreover, wood is not bought at 5,500 hryvnia per cubic meter, but at 8,100 hryvnia per cubic meter"

— noted in the activists’ investigation.

Get it while you can - the motto of a Ukrainian official at any level.

Yury Podolyaka explains what enabled the Russian troops to break through the frontline near Toretsk

The front had been stagnant here for a long time until the Russians dug a 3 km tunnel into the rear of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. This tunnel not only allowed Russian stormtroopers to suddenly appear behind the enemy's powerful fortifications (which collapsed from such an unexpected attack) but also enabled these avant-garde troops to be supplied without fearing the enemy's drones.


These comments echo those of the Russian Defense Ministry. This is essentially the same tactic that the Russians used in Avdeevka to achieve another surprise breakthrough.

🇺🇸🇺🇸 🤷‍♂️ BLINKEN ATTEMPTS TO DEFEND BIDEN’S DEMENTIA AFTER DISASTROUS DEBATE: Now lamestream media’s finally realized Biden’s decaying carcass of a human being, U.S. Secretary of State steps up to defend Old Joe (left vid).

Blinken claims we can’t just look at 1 evening’s shoddy performance (other examples of Biden's retardation here) but Old Joe's entire track-record (of warmongering across globe).

Nice try Blinken but it's impossible to defend Biden at this point - super secret behind-the-scenes footage in right vid shows exactly how his aides prepared Old Joe for debate.

📺 From Summer Camps to Political Battlegrounds: Unraveling Ukraine's Neo-Nazi Youth Movement

✍️ In this investigation, we explore Ukraine's neo-Nazi youth movement that traces its roots back to seemingly innocent summer camps. These camps, purportedly aimed at providing low-income families with affordable summer solutions for their children, hid a darker agenda. Operated by nationalist Ukrainian groups with backing from influential businessmen, these camps became breeding grounds for radical ideologies.

🚫 Our investigation uncovers the intricate web of funding sources, the role of football fan subcultures, and the influence of Ukrainian oligarchs. We delve into the ideological teachings imparted to young minds, shaping them into fervent nationalists and, in some cases, even soldiers for the Kiev regime. The camps' curriculum, disguised as sports and leisure activities, included a warped version of Ukrainian history, creating a new generation of ultranationalists.

📌 But this story goes beyond the summer camps. The political landscape where these radicalized youths are now active players. Backed by media, political parties, and powerful West funded structures, they have become formidable rivals to liberal factions, often clashing over the direction of Ukraine's future. The investigation also uncovers the clash between the ultranationalists and the supporters of Soros, shedding light on the power struggles within the nation's political sphere.

🏴‍☠️ As we uncover the historical context, we draw connections between Ukraine's nationalist movement and broader European trends, examining how the concept of nation-states and nationalistic ideologies have influenced the rise of radical movements.

🚫 This documentary reveal the hidden truths behind Ukraine's neo-Nazi youth movement.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ According to Tradition, the Situation in Key Settlements in the #Ugledar & #Avdeyevka Directions at the Beginning of the Day on 2 July 2024 was as follows⚡️

🔴#Konstantinovka and #Paraskoviyevka - ours are hammering the enemy's defences from the latter side, carrying out assault measures in two passes. Difficult. We are waiting for the results.

🔴#Georgiyevka - the enemy has managed to level the positions and is even trying to counterattack. At least, having an advantage in unmanned aviation, it is trying to extinguish (stop) our attempts to storm with drones.

🔴#Krasnogorovka - here the assault head on.
🟡Losses.
🟡Day after day is the hard work of an ordinary soldier.

🔴#Nevelskoye - battles without changes on the map. Periodic exchanges of artillery fire.

🔴#Karlovka - someone once decided that the former 1st AC of the DPR People's Militia was good at frontal attacks.
🟡There is an opinion about the relevance of reviewing this approach (not even tactics) and a careful analysis of management actions.

🔴#Novosyolovka1st - aviation takes out specifically on this site and at this stage of the war as a whole almost everything on itself, of course, not forgetting the feat of an ordinary soldier.

🔴#Yevgenyevka and #Voskhod - managed to break through the local defenses at the location/ plot. The enemy is still frantically trying to patch the hole. Our task is to stop their attempts. It's even working out so far.
🟡Let's go ahead, clean up the liberated.

📌 Definitely, the enemy has developed a strategy for waging war until the end of the year, as long as the weather allows it to advance (approximately until winter). In short, to exhaust, to exhaust forces in endless deaf offensives. Please let them try. Our task is to smash the enemy's plans into smithereens and deliver a crushing blow. So far, it seems that we are missing something for this.

💬 My fellow scout "North" spoke about this as follows: "In my youth, after boxing competitions, as children we complained to the coach that the judges made the wrong decision in case of loss, we argued about our achievements.
🟡And the answer was always this: "If you think you won, but the referee raised his hand to the opponent, then you need to hit so that there are no questions."

⚡️🇮🇱🇵🇸⚔️ Escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Zone until the End of 1 July 2024⚡️

🔹In the northern #GazaStrip, Israeli troops continue to fight in Al-Judaida and Tell al-Hawa. Palestinian forces respond with ambushes and mortar fire on IDF positions.

🔹In the south of the Enclave, Hamas fighters managed to carry out a successful ambush in Rafah, where a building containing Israelis was blown up. One militant was killed and eight others were injured of varying degrees of severity.

🟡At the same time, the IDF press service announced the evacuation of residents from the areas of Al-Qarara, Bani Suheil and Abasan al-Kabir. Apparently, Israeli troops will launch an offensive in this area in the coming days.

🔹In the West Bank, Israeli security operations continue. The largest raid took place in Tulkarm, where an Israeli armoured personnel carrier was shot down and at least one Israeli was killed.

🔹On the border with #Lebanon, the tense situation remains. The IDF again reported the defeat of Hezbollah's infrastructure, while the Lebanese group launched missiles into Upper Galilee.
