Certifiable Russian Z-ombies marched in the center of Magadan demanding for Russian nuclear missiles to be aimed at Washington and other American cities.

I wish these psychos could see just how comical they look to civilized people 🤡

As Ukrainian forces advance in the Kursk region, law and order in frontline Russian-held areas is reported to have collapsed completely. "Rampant looting" is said have broken out – being done by the Russians themselves – while local residents say they feel abandoned.

The VChK-OGPU Telegram channel reports that "in the border areas of the Kursk region, where fighting has been going on all week, there are no police, no firefighters, no doctors, no representatives of the administration.

"According to official information, more than 76,000 people left the settlements (most of them left on their own, since there was no organized evacuation, despite the statements of the authorities), but there are still people there, mostly elderly."

The channel says that "the desertion of villages and towns has become a catalyst for rampant looting". The disorder is being carried out by the Russians themselves, though it isn't clear if opportunistic civilians or indisciplined soldiers are responsible.

local resident says: "They are robbing stores, there is a collapse in Korenevo, the “Magnit” [supermarket] was simply destroyed. There is no water, no gas, no electricity.

There was no organized evacuation, and if there was, then why didn’t we hear anything about it in Lobanovka [an outlying area of Korenevo]?"

According to VChK-OGPU, "a similar situation exists in other border municipalities.

It reports that "Kursk residents are sure that representatives of the [regional] administration, having abandoned people to their fate, themselves provoked the collapse in the border areas.

Currently, it is impossible to get through to the administration of the Korenevsky district of the Kursk region. People are forced to self-organise in order to protect themselves and their property and essentially perform the functions of state and law enforcement agencies.

RUSSIAN OFFENSIVE PRESSES ON

Despite the emergency in the Kursk area, the Russians are pressing ahead with their attacks everywhere else. The Karakove area was subject to a major outflanking move during Sunday-Monday.
Their aim was to break the defences of Konstantinivka. The failed attack, first from the north then from the southeast, using mobile forces tested the Ukrainians to the limit.
The process the Russians used and the assumptions they made seem to have been their weakness, that along with their utter disregard for casualties.
Their belief was that by attacking hard from the north, largely with infantry, a second attempt at hitting from the southeast as they had done a week or so ago, using exactly the same repetitive assault tactics, would break the Ukrainians. They thought the attack from the north was more than enough to exhaust the defence.
The Russians actually decided not to risk doing anything new. They didn’t want to be bothered with more mine fields so they decided not just to use the same tactics of pulses of APC’s carrying troops escorted by a tank, but to use the exact routes they used before - expecting them to be largely mine free.
By changing the timing of their pulsed attacks to the response times of Ukrainian artillery and drone strikes they actually managed to get through with less damage than they had previously.
However enough hit mines to cause problems, the men who survived found themselves on bone dry soil standing out on dried grass and fields because of the heat that’s beset the region. Any movement kicks up clouds of dust and they were quickly hunted down. The soil is so dry there’s no way to manually dig even a foxhole.
The Russians of course assumed the Ukrainians hadn’t bothered to re-mine the routes they had used in the past - but they had.
Yet again the benefits of the cluster munition 155mm shell proved vital, shredding lightly armoured APC type vehicles and killing infantry.
(As an aside, the effectiveness of cluster munition shells has been so great NATO states are being urged to rescind their membership of the cluster munitions treaty ban. The US never signed it. Nor did Russia).
What has become very clear is that western aid has been critical in balancing out Russian meatwave attacks and ripping through their lightly protected infantry carriers. Without the artillery things would be very bleak. Russian fears that western aid would prove difficult to overcome have been justified - it’s costing them dearly and long may it do so.
The use of FPV drones may not destroy vehicles but it often cripples or disables them forcing crews to abandon them. These days the Russians are so acutely short of tanks and functional APC’s like the MT-LB they actually risk sending in more troops to get them back.
Again, as I have reported previously about this area, it’s wide open, bone dry spaces with little shelter, so these efforts too, end up thwarted.
Overall the Ukrainians managed again to keep the Russians out though several made it through but were destroyed.
The biggest issue is repairing the mine fields which is difficult as it’s hard to hide the mines in dry soil and difficult to map the areas they’ve been detonated. As the minefields weaken, the Russians, if they persist with the meatwave and repeated mechanised assaults, stand more chance of getting through. They know it and that’s why they continue to take the risk and are willing to lose so much doing it.
Yet unquestionably western artillery has made a huge difference. The Czech initiative, the American and European shell supplies are vital and they are making a difference.

❗️STATEMENT OF THE SBU REGARDING THE CONDUCT OF ENEMY IPSO:

The Security Service of Ukraine records the attempts of the special services of the Russian Federation to use the situation in the Kursk region to baselessly accuse Ukrainian defenders of committing war crimes. For this purpose, the Russian side creates and distributes various fakes and misinformation that have nothing to do with reality.

Such informational and psychological special operations of the enemy are connected, first of all, with the impossibility of effectively countering the offensive actions of the Armed Forces.

According to the SBU, in the near future the Russian special services may resort to staging crimes, in particular, against the civilian population of the Kursk region, in order to further accuse the Ukrainian side of committing them.

The Security Service of Ukraine warns that such attempts are futile and will not affect the offensive actions of the Armed Forces or the opinion of our country's international partners.

After all, the Defense Forces of Ukraine have proven to the whole world that they strictly follow the rules and customs of warfare. In particular, both regarding the treatment of Russian prisoners of war and the civilian population.

Ukrainian soldiers are steadily approaching the Victory of Ukraine. And no enemy IPSO will stand in the way of this.

For the first time in Ukraine , "Tactical Medicine Pivnich" held a course on Prolonged Casualty Care (PCC) for combat medics of the 12th "Azov" brigade.

Intensive training included both theoretical lessons and practical scenarios. At the PCC course, Azov doctors studied in detail:

🔹 Prolonged medical care procedures in combat conditions: how to provide assistance to the wounded if evacuation is delayed for hours or even days?
🔹 Application of advanced medical technologies: use of modern equipment and tools to stabilize the wounded.
🔹 Advanced methods of bleeding control.
🔹 Work with septic shock.
🔹 Providing assistance in conditions of lack of resources. Resource management.
🔹 Long-term analgesia.
🔹 Wound care.

Thanks to the course, the participants will be able to apply the acquired knowledge in practice and prepare for real combat conditions.

The 12th "Azov" brigade is grateful to "Pivnich" Tactical Medicine for conducting courses for our soldiers and for their joint readiness to be the first to use new approaches. Our doctors are always working on implementing new medical methods and improving their skills.

We make an important contribution to the improvement of the level of medical training of servicemen of the Defense Forces. This cooperation is already bearing results. We are sure that with joint efforts we will achieve more in saving lives.

Together we are a force.

- Azov

Latest forecast, thunderstorms possible after 11AM

☢️ Russia has been training to launch nuclear strikes on targets in Europe, according to classified documents seen by the Financial Times

The maps, prepared between 2008 and 2014, contain targets for strikes with both conventional and nuclear missiles. The targets are military installations and critical infrastructure. In addition to Europe, the documents outline scenarios of possible conflicts with countries currently friendly to Russia - Turkey, Azerbaijan, Iran, China, and North Korea.

In the plan, the Russian military noted the "advantages of nuclear strikes in the early stages of conflicts" and mentioned the option of a "demonstration strike" - detonating nuclear weapons in a remote area to intimidate Western countries.

I like this babushka. The Russians will be looking for her. Better to take her to Kiev

For the first time, Putin commented on the reasons for the Ukrainian Armed Forces' offensive in the Kursk Oblast.

The Russian dictator initially called the actions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces a "large-scale provocation," but today he said that with this offensive Ukraine is seeking to
"improve its negotiating position in the future."

Putin also said that new "destabilizations are expected in the border regions of the Russian Federation, including the Bryansk Oblast."
