🏠 Ukrainian startup 3D UTU created the first house in Ukraine on a 3D printer for the family of the fallen Hero from Irpen

russian killers destroyed the house of Yaroslav Berezov's family during the occupation of the city in 2022. And the Hero himself died in the battles for Bakhmut in the same year.

The new home for the defender's family was built with the help of a 3D printer from the Ukrainian startup 3D UTU. The house with an area of ​​130 m² was built in just 58 motor hours, which is approximately 2 days of printer operation. Yesterday, the wife and children received the keys to the apartment for free.

"Such construction is not only about speed and economy. This technology also makes it possible to build energy-efficient and more ecological houses. This makes it even more relevant for Ukraine, which strives for sustainable development after the war,"
said Mykhailo Fedorov.

VOVCHANSK: RUSSIANS SURROUNDED

Having successfully pushed their way over the river and south into Vovchansk town to link up with the Russians held in near isolation in the aggregate plant, the Russians suddenly faced an unexpected Ukrainian counter offensive.
The Ukrainians cut deep into Russian lines from east and west north of the river at astonishing pace, leaving the Russians with little more than a single street connecting a much larger force south of the river with their main force in the north.
So precarious is the Russian position that it looks certain to end up with the Russian force south of the river completely surrounded by the end of today.
If that happens then the Russian force south of the river is trapped - and the forces north of the river will be seriously weakened and in a near untenable position inside the town.
How the Russians allowed themselves to get into this position is frankly unbelievable. The risk that this would happen and that the Ukrainians were letting them do it so easily should have been obvious enough, but no doubt the Russians thought they’d pulled off a tactical victory despite the clear signal Ukrainian forces weren’t going quietly.
The Russians realised it seems, all too late and called in glide bomb strikes to try and break up the Ukrainian force build up.
Even the last corridor of a street the Russians still control they could attempt to escape from, is covered by Ukrainian machine gun posts and using glide bombs here would only kill Russians as well. They would have to fight their way out - a near impossible task.
The Russians are known to be preparing forces to reinforce their units in the city, and have placed a cone of silence over the border villages so that their whereabouts and numbers are kept as secret as possible.
To put the whole thing in a time line, first the Russians reached and took the aggregate plant, then they were cut off. An initial attempt to reach it failed. A second attack reached it but seems to have been allowed to by the Ukrainians, who have now cut off a much larger force that hangs by a thread. It would take another major force to push its way in to try and reach the even larger surrounded group of forces.
The main problem for any force in the north of Vovchansk is there is almost nowhere to hide and it has little tactical value. The constant artillery and glide bomb attacks have levelled the city and left nothing but dust and rubble.
If Ukraine can eradicate or contain the entrapped Russians until they surrender or die, then any renewed efforts by the Russians to push into the city will likely prove fruitless. The tide of this operation for Russia seems to have turned against them. But they will not learn and they won’t give up, because the political decision is the city must be taken. Such rigidity is the death of armies.

Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦!

❗️Zelensky reported that he had a telephone conversation with Trump.

Zelensky wrote:

"Spoke with Donald Trump. Congratulated him on the Republican nomination and condemned the horrific assassination attempt in Pennsylvania. I wished strength and absolute safety in the future.

I noted the vital importance of bipartisan and bicameral American support to protect the freedom and independence of our nation.

Ukraine will always be grateful to the United States for its help in strengthening our ability to resist Russian terror. Russian attacks on our cities and villages continue every day.

We agreed with President Trump to discuss during a personal meeting what steps can make the peace fair and truly lasting."

10 years ago, the Russians shot down flight MH17, which was flying from the Netherlands to Malaysia. 298 people died. This is another reminder of the atrocities the Russian occupiers are capable of

For many years, Russia tried to blame Ukraine for this tragedy. Still, in 2022, a Dutch court recognized that Russian troops had committed it and sentenced the perpetrators to life in prison, including Igor Girkin, the "Minister of Defense" in the occupied territories.

During today's exchange, a military man who could have worked with the Russians returned. This was stated by former prisoner Viktor “Leleka” Lakhno.

According to him, it is Maksym Bobylev. He allegedly cooperated with the administration of the colony where the prisoners were held and was involved in the beating of Azov fighters.

According to Lakhno, Bobylev also renounced his Ukrainian citizenship and wanted to obtain a Russian passport.

The 35th Separate Marine Brigade assured that they were checking information about one of their soldiers' cooperation with the Russians. The DIU noted that they always work with law enforcement agencies on all returned soldiers.

Russia wants to sentence Evan Gershkovich, Wall Street Journal journalist, to 18 years in Russian prison for "espionage."

Evan Gershkovich was detained in Russian Yekaterinburg on March 29, 2023. He had full press credentials from Russia's foreign ministry. He was accused of espionage, making him the first American detained on such an allegation since the Cold War. Evan, his family, the Journal and the U.S. government vehemently deny these allegations. The State Department has declared Evan wrongfully detained - the Wall Street Journal.

❗️On Thursday, July 18, a World Central Kitchen (WCK) humanitarian aid vehicle, clearly marked, was struck by a russian short-range explosive device fired by a drone as it was returning from a food delivery mission near Oleksandrivka, Ukraine. Fortunately, no injuries were reported; the driver was unharmed, and there were no passengers. It remains unclear whether the WCK vehicle was specifically targeted by russia.

World Central Kitchen has served over 260 million meals to families in frontline communities and first responders in Ukraine. In the past two years of their operations in Ukraine, seven WCK volunteers have been killed by russian military strikes.

❗️Radiation accident at Rostov NPP, russia

There was a release into the atmosphere of radioactive isotopes with radioactivity of up to one and a half million curies. The radioactive cloud is moving inland, towards Saratov.

The radioactive background in Rostov, according to Rosatom, is normal; in fact, it is already 75 times higher than normal.

The russian government carefully hides this.

It is with this accident that problems with energy supply in the south of russia and the annexed Crimea are associated.
