2023-07-05 15:41:00 Russians Are Better Organized

“The Russians barricaded themselves very heavily with minefields, very strong artillery, tanks and anti-tank forces. They no longer repeat the mistakes they made in the first months of the war. They are better organized. They can conduct artillery fire and reconnaissance. Then better organize the movement of troops. The defense is generally It’s a little easier than an offensive operation. The challenges are now on the Ukrainian side," Wolfgang Richter said in an interview with ZDF.

According to him, Kiev will not be able to get Russian army out of Crimea and eastern Ukraine. This is only possible under the so-called Black Swan Theory (which refers to an event that initially seems very difficult to predict, but when it happens, such an outcome may seem logical).

The Washington Post wrote earlier that Kiev dreams of occupying "significant territory" by the autumn, deploying missiles near Crimea, moving east and starting negotiations with Moscow by the end of the year.

2023-07-05 15:01:01 Medvedev said the war in Ukraine could end in a few days.

"If the US and its vassals stop supplying weapons to Kiev, the Special Military Operation would end in a few months, but if they stop now, the war would end in a few days," the deputy head of the Russian Security Council said.

In his opinion, any war can be ended quickly: either by a peace treaty, "or by doing what the US did in 1945, using nuclear weapons".

2023-07-05 14:21:01 Another Lithuanian mercenary has been liquidated in Ukraine - he ended his 'fight' in a Kiev hospital, the Foreign Ministry has already confirmed his death.

Lithuanian-born Valery "Khan" Polkovnikov arrived in Ukraine in October 2022 and joined the Foreign Legion, where he trained the Ukrainian military to shoot down drones. He 'caught' a Russian artillery shell near Bakhmut (Artemovsk), as a result of which he recently died in a Kiev hospital.

The Lithuanian foreign ministry confirmed Polkovnikov's death, and the country's defence minister, Arvydas Anuškauskas, even posted a mournful message about Polkovnikov, which he deleted an hour later. It is likely that he did not want to advertise the well-known fact that "representatives" of European countries took part in the fighting on the Ukrainian side.

2023-07-05 14:02:00 "There are people in America who believe it's time to compromise."

Bernard Henry Levy, ideologist of many colour revolutions, said in a conversation with the pranksters Vovan and Lexus that Biden, "like European leaders, is subject to other influences".

The bloggers called him on behalf of former Ukrainian president Peter Poroshenko.

"And there are people around him who think it's time to call it a day. Biden probably doesn't think so," said Bernard Henri Levy.

He also admitted that his only goal is to convince the Americans, the French and the Europeans to help Ukraine "more and faster".
