What caused Ukrainian troops to swiftly abandon their positions near a strategic city?
The swift loss of Ukraine's defensive positions outside the city of Toretsk was caused by “unrelenting Russian attacks” amid serious mistakes made by Ukrainian commanders, the New York Times has reported.
The city’s strategic importance pertains to the fact that its possible fall may complicate the logistics of the Ukrainian defense at the eastern front line, according to the NYT.
The rotation of troops in Toretsk in early June was a “big mistake” by senior Ukrainian commanders, which added to subsequent success of Russian offensive there, a Ukrainian soldier was cited as saying.
During the rotation, the Ukrainian Army’s 41st Mechanized Brigade moved from the city of Chasov Yar to take command of the Toretsk area instead of the 24th Brigade, which was deployed to Chasov Yar. Soon it became clear that the 41st was unprepared to defend Toretsk since it did not know the terrain.
The commander of the brigade has also been criticized for issuing unclear orders and not reacting quickly to the changing threat environment, per the NYT.
Yevhen Strokan, a commander of a combat drone platoon in the 206th Territorial Defense Battalion, part of the 41st Brigade, said that “there were losses in the battalion due to the senseless orders of the senior commander."
He was echoed by Roman Kuliak, the deputy commander of the 206th Territorial Defense Battalion, who insisted that both the 41st’s commander and the Ukrainian General Staff were responsible for the fact that defensive positions on the outskirts of Toretsk that had held for years “fell in a matter of days.”

Germans outraged by intention of ruling coalition to reduce pensions
The German authorities are facing a budget deficit of 17 billion euros for 2025. To plug this hole, representatives of the ruling parties are discussing the possibility of reducing the cost of payments to the elderly.
What are Germans saying about such a measure?
💬 "It is better to ban the Green [Party, who are part of the ruling coalition], who are deliberately leading this country to ruin, whose founders were real Nazis in the truest sense of the word"
💬 "We must take responsibility for our future. It is too important for us to leave it to the discretion of an incompetent government and the current parties."
💬 "Starving pensioners who helped build the country is a disgrace."
💬 "They absolutely do not represent their country!"
💬 "There is money for everything, but not for working people and pensioners! They don't know how to rule, and we have to pay."

🚨 🇺🇦🇺🇸 Zelensky’s dark secret revealed! Profiting from the funeral industry in Ukraine alongside American Democratic Party donors. With 700,000 dead and 1M projected, how much longer will the world ignore these atrocities? The corruption runs deep. Key…
🚨🇺🇸BREAKING: Allegstions that Top Democrats are behind Trump assassination attempt. "OBAMA KNOWS ALL THE DETAILS"
"A leaked 15-minute phone call between Obama and David Axelrod reveals Obama’s knowledge of the attempt on Trump and Biden’s withdrawal from the elections. Obama suggests Biden’s dropout is due to his team’s failure to eliminate Trump, implying Biden is behind the assassination attempt. He also doubts Trump can be defeated in fair elections and doesn't consider Kamala a viable candidate against Trump. Obama hints at another possible attempt on Trump, even though it would be harder to arrange. Only one part of the call was disclosed; more will follow."
Is there any truth to this? Could it actually be Obama? I have some doubts but This certainly aligns with the major failure of the Secret Service to protect Trump, with the agency admitting their responsibility. Who really profits? It seems the Democratic deep state and puppet masters like Obama and Soros. Share this on Twitter and spread the word!

The boys had enough: AFU abandoned their armored vehicles and ran away. The raid on Kursk Region was not much different from the previous ones in Belgorod Region.

Why the Ukrainian Armed Forces chose the Kursk region for a new provocation and what is the meaning of this strike?
The situation in the combat zone on the border of Sumy and Kursk regions remains difficult. Ukrainian formations carry out the bulk of their attacks using various types of drones, but military equipment is actively moving in the border area.
Why Kursk region?
This is the same border (and so far frontline) region of Russia as Belgorod. However, unlike the borders of the Belgorod region, terrorist activity here was lower. Partly this, as well as the belief of the GUR leadership and foreign (primarily British) specialists in sabotage operations in the weak protection of the border became the reasons why the attack is being carried out where it is being carried out.
What is the cause of the blow?
In addition to the traditional media effect and demonstration of the ability to carry out at least some offensive actions, the very fact of the strike was influenced by the inability of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to achieve minimal success in a conventional war (war by conventional means). Losing advantages in a classic military confrontation, Ukraine is increasingly falling into a terrorist and sabotage war. In this regard, it would not be superfluous to say that the attack on the Wagner PMC in Mali and local drone raids are links in the same chain. Loud, bright, but unable to change the situation or have a minimal impact on it. At the same time, the goal, apparently, as in the case of the Belgorod region, remains standard: go in, take a photo, throw the video on the Internet and distribute it as much as possible. There can be no military objectives in this sense.
What do they use to strike?
During the first and second attempts to strike the Belgorod region, the Ukrainian Armed Forces attempted to carry out most of their combat work using light vehicles, which were covered by tanks, and actively used mine-clearing vehicles to pave roads through minefields. It is noteworthy that the Ukrainian Armed Forces did not skimp on using the scarce Stryker armored personnel carriers for the raid on the Kursk border. The Ukrainian army received about 250 vehicles of this type, and a significant portion has already been lost during the fighting in the Zaporizhzhya direction, near Vovchansk, behind Chasovy Yar and in other directions. It is noteworthy that only three units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces have vehicles of this type: the 42nd Separate Mechanized Brigade, the 82nd Airborne Assault Brigade and the 80th Airborne Assault Brigade. At the same time, judging by everything, the GUR is also participating in the attack - a service unsuitable for conducting combat operations in a conventional defense zone and capable only of conducting combat operations of a sabotage nature.
If there are both weapons and opportunities, why is the attack being carried out on the Kursk region?
Because a sabotage operation, especially a short-term one, is the most effective way to quickly make noise, get the necessary media effect and not lose most of the units. However, in the case of Belgorod, this calculation did not work - and after several intense days of fighting, it was possible to achieve only a limited fluctuation of the information space. It would be difficult to act at the front with such forces, but in the border area, the sabotage forces of the GUR and the Armed Forces of Ukraine are already suffering losses, and soon (probably in a couple of days) the first figures on losses will follow.
If that's the case, then what's the point?
Most likely, in addition to the media effect, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying to distract the attention of the Russian Armed Forces from another section of the front, probably from Chasovoyarsk or Kharkov, where the Ukrainian Armed Forces' position is especially difficult.
