Dear readers and friends, today is On July 7, we continued to study and assess the war situation between Russia and Ukraine.
Today’s breaking news is undoubtedly: British Prime Minister Johnson will submit his resignation today, but he will continue to be prime minister until the autumn. There will be a Conservative leadership contest this summer, with a new prime minister to be chosen at the Conservative Party conference in October. Johnson will make a statement later today.
This statement came a bit suddenly. I like this prime minister very much who has a distinctive personality and is resolute in his actions, not to mention his firm support for Ukraine in the midst of war. He passed the previous impeachment on June 6, so he will not step down due to impeachment within a year, but this resignation may be caused by excessive pressure within the party, and the pressure within the party is because the Conservative Party has been too low recently. caused by the public support rate. Although Johnson said yesterday that "my government will not collapse because of a series of official resignations," he had to surrender today. The direct reason was that 30 to 40 government officials resigned in two days. He had to make sacrifices for the Conservative Party.
According to British law, the resignation of a prime minister will not lead to a re-election, but a new prime minister will be selected within the ruling party to complete the remaining term of the previous prime minister.
Although Johnson was widely praised for his tough stance on Ukraine, he has now resigned because of his choice of a deputy whip with sexual misconduct. This is the third example of British Prime Ministers resigning. Theresa May and Cameron also failed to complete their terms.
Johnson seemed to be implicated by the party scandal during the epidemic and the sexual misconduct of Deputy Whip Pincher. In fact, he was overwhelmed by three other things: First, Brexit, those who want to leave the European Union and those who do not want to leave. The proportion of people in Europe is almost the same. If the reality cannot be changed, the only choice is to vent their anger on the Prime Minister. Secondly, there is the epidemic. No matter how it is handled, there will always be a group of people who are dissatisfied, so they continue to vent their anger on the Prime Minister. Finally, the recent increase in the cost of living has become the last factor that overwhelms the blond Johnson. A straw. But can you really blame him for these three problems?
Johnson is still very loyal. It is said that he is planning to have a phone call with Zelensky and tell him that even if he steps down, Britain's support for Ukraine will not change!
There is nothing to say about today’s battle situation. The battle line has not changed much compared to yesterday:
Let’s go directly to the war:
. Today, the Ukrainian flag returned to Snake Island and was flying on the island. Due to the threat of long-range firepower from the Russian army, the Ukrainian army airdropped the national flag on the island two days ago. Today, some Ukrainian army soldiers landed on Snake Island and let the national flag fly.
But the attack and defense around Snake Island is not over yet. The Russian army still pours firepower on this unguarded island from time to time. Sergei Brachuk, spokesman for the Odessa Oblast Military Administration, said: In the early morning of July 7, Russia attacked two agricultural hangars in the Odessa Oblast , destroying 35 tons of grain. Two other missiles hit Snake Island, severely damaging its pier.
It seems that the Russian army is still trying its best to regain face, but it really doesn't have the strength.
, Ukrainian air defense system shot down a Russian Kh-31 missile launched by a Su-35 over the Black Sea near Odessa. The Ukrainian army intercepts Russian missiles more and more frequently, showing that the overall prevention and control capabilities of the Ukrainian army are still gradually improving.
. The Southern Combat Command said it sabotaged a Russian offensive: A team of ten Russian saboteurs tried to break through the Ukrainian defense lines near the village of Dobryanka in Kherson Oblast. Result of the battle: five Russian soldiers were killed and one was wounded.The Ukrainian military also destroyed a T-62 tank, two mortars, two armored vehicles and four other military vehicles on the southern front.
. Another Russian rear ammunition depot in the Donetsk area was destroyed, and thick smoke could be seen from a long distance:
. The Ukrainian military destroyed a Russian military warehouse near the Kherson train station. Although according to the current situation, the Ukrainian army is still 17 kilometers away from the core urban area of Kherson , the Ukrainian army artillery in the Zaporozhye and Kherson areas on the southern front is extremely active and can always be used in artillery battles. The middle force overwhelmed the local Russian army. It seems that in places where the disparity in numbers is not large, the Russian artillery cannot defeat the Ukrainian artillery.
. Today, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine clarified the so-called "Russian army destroyed two HIMARS systems". "Russian propagandists are actively spreading false reports about the destruction of the American HIMARS artillery system. We announce "This information is not true." These systems are operating and "continuously hitting" strategically important Russian military targets.
Previously, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that two sets of Seamass rocket launcher systems provided by the United States had been destroyed by the Russian army in Donetsk, but there was no evidence, no pictures, and no truth. This kind of news can fool Russian soldiers, ordinary people and Russian fans, but putting it in front of the whole world is a public show of IQ.
Yesterday we talked about the details of the Haimas system operations. The choice of Melitopol for the attack is even more meaningful. Recently, the Russian army is expanding its strength for the troops on the southern front and is striving to equip each brigade with an additional infantry battalion. Therefore, a large number of Russian army recruits took trains from Russia to Melitopol, and then dispersed from here to various front-line positions in Zaporozhye and Kherson. The Ukrainian army had obviously detected the intelligence in this regard and chose to launch an attack when a military train had just stopped. The Russian infantrymen who had just emerged from the carriage were covered by the firepower of rockets falling from the sky before they could even take a breath. . To achieve this kind of attack, it is necessary to reach a very high level in terms of reconnaissance and precise firepower delivery. The Ukrainian army can carry out such an attack, which confirms the news that came out from within the Ukrainian army. They said that the Ukrainian army has a large amount of valuable information. Details of the target, but there is no weapon at hand to hit it. The arrival of the first batch of 4 Seamaster will undoubtedly make the Ukrainian army's long-range precision strike capabilities have a breakthrough from zero to one. If more Seamaster and M270 heavy tracked multiple rocket launchers come to the Ukrainian front line in the future, the Russian army will Obviously it will be even more distressed.
In contrast, although the Russian army has 1,000 artillery pieces on the Donbass front line, and recently took out a large number of 203mm army-level self-propelled howitzers from the warehouse, more footage shows that their Tos-1 The Spitfire multiple rockets had to be launched within a distance of only 8 kilometers from the Ukrainian army, otherwise the impact points would be spread out endlessly. It has to be said that the Russian army is still fighting a vs. style war, but the Ukrainian army, which is equipped with advanced Western weapons and has NATO intelligence bonus, has already opened up a generation gap with the Russian army.
Even Ukrainian President Zelensky was full of praise for the long-range precision strike firepower obtained: "We feel that Western artillery - the weapons we obtained from our partners - are starting to work very powerfully. Its accuracy is completely Meet the need. Our defenders carried out very visible strikes on warehouses and other locations important for the occupiers' logistics. This significantly reduced the offensive potential of the occupiers. The losses of the occupiers only increased every week, as did the difficulty of resupply. will increase". This is indeed the case. Whether it is the M777, Caesar, M109, or the Haimas that has just arrived in Ukraine, these heavy artillery are exerting great power in the hands of the Ukrainian army.
Diplomacy:
, Irish Prime Minister Michael Martin visited the war relics near Kiev and said: What Russia did to this beautiful country is a serious violation of international law. It is an insult to everything Ireland stands for. We cannot and will not allow it to continue to exist.
, Bulgaria has frozen the salaries of Russian embassy employees. An $890,000 transfer to the Russian Embassy was blocked due to sanctions from the EU . Bulgarian authorities can decide for themselves what to do with the funds. Recently, due to sanctions, Russia has encountered difficulties everywhere within its territory, and has encountered obstacles everywhere outside its territory. Earlier, Finland detained nearly a thousand trucks belonging to Russian companies due to implementation of EU sanctions, Lithuania banned the transportation of some goods between Russia and its enclave Kaliningrad Oblast (online news) not real).
. Perhaps because of feeling threatened, on July 6, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov called on all parties in the world to work hard to protect international law . Because "the world is evolving in complex ways."
But the question is, who broke the norms of international law first? diode Mr. Lavrov?
. If the country is in crisis, it must be because evildoers are rampant. Yesterday, Russian State Duma Chairman Volodin warned that if the United States dares to arbitrarily dispose of Russia’s overseas assets, Russia will take measures to respond, including returning Alaska to Russia.
Volokin’s original words were: “Being obedient does not mean being weak and can be bullied. We can also respond. The United States must always remember that there is a piece of land called Alaska. Before Americans try to dispose of our overseas assets, we must Think about it carefully, we also have something we can claim back."
I was really shocked when I heard this. It has been sold for more than 150 years, why should I take it back from you? But it’s not surprising when you think about it. According to Russian logic, what’s his is his, and what’s not his is also his. If such a person can climb to a high position, there really should be a problem in this country. It would be abnormal not to have a problem. If it weren't for Qin II to be so fatuous, how could anyone come to the court and call a deer a horse?
Actually, I think it would be good for us to have more Russians like this. We can fully support them in claiming back their "historic territory", because we also have a lot of "historic territory", right?
There is this news in and around Ukraine:
. The Ukrainian General Staff withdrew a document restricting the movement of men eligible for conscription between various regions of Ukraine. Before , the armed forces wanted men who were eligible for conscription not to go out into the field without saying hello, but the Ukrainian president immediately stopped this directive. Obviously, Ukrainian laws are sacred, and soldiers fight to protect the freedom of citizens. If there is no freedom, who will defend this country?
. Yuri Voronov, a 61-year-old Russian executive with ties to Russian energy giant Gazprom, was found shot to death in his swimming pool. This is the latest mysterious death of a tycoon in the country. He was shot dead in the head at close range. The police found a semi-automatic pistol near him and "several spent bullets" at the bottom of the pool.
Since this year, seven wealthy Russians involved in natural gas and energy-related companies have died under mysterious circumstances, and some have even implicated their own family members in their deaths. Apparently the Kremlin and are pushing for some kind of "purge".
. Ukrainian Prosecutor General Irina Venediktova said: Ukrainian authorities are investigating more than 21,000 war crimes allegedly committed by Russian troops.There are about 200 reports of cases every day.
must be severely punished, one stroke at a time!
Regarding the military aid part, a touching story we have reported before has the latest development today: Lithuanian Defense Minister Arvydas Anusauskas said: A crowdfunded made by Turkey The military drone is expected to be delivered to Ukraine from Lithuania immediately. A crowdfunding campaign raised nearly 6 million euros for the Bayraktar TB2 drone in three days last month, but the Turkish manufacturer, impressed by the deep friendship of the Lithuanians, has announced that it will donate the drone to Ukraine for free.
What the people want! No matter what those high-ranking people say, the common people are very clear-minded. If you go against the will of the people, nothing good will happen.
At the end of today’s article, at the request of readers, I will talk about the Foreign Legion active in Ukraine.
First of all, a sad news: Ivan (call sign Brest), the battalion commander of the Belarusian Volat Battalion of the Ukrainian International Volunteer Corps, died in the battle of Lisichansk on June 26.
Volat Battalion served as a blocking mission in Lichansk, preventing the Russian army from approaching the main force of the retreating Ukrainian army. However, such a battle was extremely risky. In the last battle, Ivan was unable to escape from the Russian army. He disappeared after notifying the Ukrainian artillery of the coordinates of the Russian army.
Despite their different nationalities, Belarusian fighters made commendable contributions to the cause of independence of the Ukrainian people with their personal heroism and self-sacrifice. They are not the only foreign fighters fighting in Ukraine. Although Russia has threatened that these foreign fighters will not enjoy prisoner of war treatment once captured, and has indeed sentenced three foreign fighters to death, there are still fighters from 55 countries fighting side by side with Ukrainians . The United States, the United Kingdom, Poland, the Baltic countries, Canada, Norway, Finland and Denmark are most represented in the Legion, with thousands of veterans voluntarily joining in the United States alone. Some battalions were composed of citizens of almost all European countries, such as the Canadian Brigade, which consisted of three battalions of Canadian and British fighters. There are more than 3,000 British volunteers in the Regiment, many of whom have fought in Afghanistan and Iraq. There are also veterans of the US and British Special Forces .
We told yesterday about the widows of Russian servicemen who have joined the Free Russia Legion, and Sandra Andersen Eira, 35, a former member of the Norwegian Parliament, was one of the first to join the international legion. Her famous quote was: "If we don't stop them in Ukraine, then where will we stop them?"
Sandra Anderson Ella
There are also many fighters from Georgia in the Foreign Legion. Their numbers currently rank first among the Foreign Legion. Why does this happen? Mamuka Mamulashvili, commander of the Georgian National Battalion, said: “For us Georgians , fighting for Ukraine is a matter of principle, because Ukraine was the country where we broke out with Russia in the 1990s. The only country to support Georgia during the war!”
In a report by TRT on April 29, Mamumushvili added: “Ukraine has sent volunteers and helped evacuate civilians from occupied areas. Our friendship is rooted in centuries. History.”
There is also a Crimean battalion in the Foreign Legion, composed entirely of Muslims. In addition, the Chechen members of the Legion have been fighting for Ukraine for eight years, and they are not at all the same type of people as the cartilaginous worms like Kadyrov Jr. The Chechens also expressed their gratitude to the Ukrainians who helped them during the two Chechen wars. "We have comrades from Azerbaijan, Tatarstan, Uzbekistan and other countries.We all understand that if this barbarism does not stop now, it will not stop in Ukraine."
As someone who has followed the war between Russia and Ukraine for several months, I know very well that the overall military situation is still that Russia is strong and Ukraine is weak. Even in some areas , due to the powerful artillery superiority of the Russian army, the Ukrainian army and the foreign legionnaires among them suffered heavy casualties. However, these soldiers came to Ukraine from a distant place to fight for justice for the sake of morality in their hearts. Their blood will not be shed in vain. , Ukraine will definitely gain independence, and their spirit will not be erased, and will definitely become a part of historical public memory, and will be remembered forever!
