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.

60 years ago someone as respected as President Eisenhower warned America and the world of the dangers of the growing Military Industrial Complex, his predictions came to reality long ago, and the global elites behind the corporations that rule the planet are close to fulfilling their sinister agenda of complete control.

📋🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Two Majors #Summary for the Morning of 2 July 2024; pub. 06:56📍

🛡Last night, #Crimea once again repelled an AFU attack with Storm Shadow and Scalp Missiles.

💥In #Belgorod region, , mass power outages were reported, which, according to the official data, were caused by "external influence" (civilian agencies wording for sabotage and terrorist attacks beyond their competence). Russian major telegram channels reported several IEDs planted at substations, which may indicate enemy saboteurs, including from among combat agents on the ground.

🎯The RFAF launched a precision strike on the #Mirgorod Airfield, destroying 2 enemy Su-27 aircraft and disabling 4 others.

🔹In
#Kharkov direction, the enemy is building up reserves near the #Glubokoye village. Heavy counter battles continue in #Volchansk. Fighters of the "North Group" repelled an AFU counterattack of up to 30 militants in the east of the town. According to our intelligence from the field, the AFU 57th Separate Motorised Infantry Brigade, has been returned to the front line separately, consolidated assault groups are being formed from their remnants.

🔹In the #Seversk sector, combat recon is under way north of the recently liberated #Razdolovka, and fighting ongoing for #Spornoye (⭐️recently taken by MoD).

🔹In #ChasovYar's eastern part, fighting continues. The enemy is solving the task of slowing down the Russian advance, saturates the western town part with personnel, and builds defences along the Seversky Donets-Donbass Canal.

🔹East of #Toretsk (#Dzerzhinsk), the Russian Army continues its assault operations. There is fighting in the area of #Kirovo, #Druzhba and #Shumy.

🔹West of #Avdeyevka, there is heavy fighting in the area of #Sokol. From #Netaylovo, the RFAF are constantly attacking in the area of #Karlovka, the AFU is resisting fiercely and bringing in reserves.

🔹In #Ugledar direction, fighting continues for #Konstantinovka west of #Paraskoviyevka. 🎬👇

🔹On the
#Zaporozhye front, the RFAF have decisively increased the strike intensity. MLRSs are operating on daily basis and "Solntsepyoks" are being used.

🔹In the #Kherson direction, the island zone assault is being carried out in difficult conditions: the problem is posed by enemy drones and, as it turns out, the lack of centralised supplies of small-sized watercraft. Ours travel on volunteer boats, as well as on watercraft abandoned by civilians. They also again reported a small allocation of artillery shells, while orders to hit identified targets are impossible to carry out. The number of targets and artillery ammo received per day is not compatible. “Beautiful reports” are coming again.

💥In #Belgorod region, civilians under Nazi attack. The village of Novaya Tavolzhanka in Shebekinsky urban district came under fire. 1 civilian was killed by a shell landing on the territory of an agricultural enterprise. In the evening in #Shebekino, 2 civilians suffered shrapnel wounds by a AFU drone strike. 7 civilians were injured by massive AFU shelling of #Belgorod and its district.

💥In the #Kursk region, the Sudzha Checkpoint, #Zayoleshenka, #Sverdlikovo, #Guyevo, #Gornal, #Oleshnya of the Sudzhansky district, #Tyotkino, #Krasnooktyabrsky, #Sergeyevka, #Vesyoloye, #Yelizavetovka of the Glushkovsky district, #Gordeyevka, #Byakhovo and #Viktorovka of Korenevsky district were shelled. Drone attacks were recorded in Sudzha town and near the village of #Kurilovka, Sudzhansky district, near the villages of Gorodishche and Novaya Nikolayevka, Rylsky district, the village of #Bogoslovka, Khomutovsky district, the villages of #Gordeyevka and #Uspenovka, Korenevsky district, and the Otruba Farm, Glushkovsky district.
🛡Electronic warfare means and small arms suppressed and destroyed 9 Ukrainian drones in the border areas over the day.

💥In the #DPR, as a result of artillery strikes by AFU Nazis against #Gorlovka and #Makeyevka, 1 civilian was killed and 5 wounded.
