There will be a tribunal." 22:31 Today, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have destroyed five warehouses with ammunition of Russian troops, said the speaker of the Odesa OVA Serhiy Bratchuk. In particular, ammunition depots in Lugansk, Chernobaevka, Makeevka, Chaplinka (Kherson region) and Gorlovka were destroyed. 21:42 The Russians have stepped up the work of their DRGs in the Donbas quantitatively and qualitatively: mercenaries from the League, who speak Ukrainian and dressed in military uniforms of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, go to the checkpoints of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, said the head of the Luhansk OVA Serhiy Gaidai on the air of the telethon.

Recognition by the North Korean regime of the "subjectivity" of the Russian occupation regimes in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions is negligible, will not have legal consequences and will not change the internationally recognized borders of Ukraine." 19:27 Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called it "very difficult" the decision to make a sanctions exception in order to return the repaired turbine for the Nord Stream gas pipeline: "The sanctions are directed against Putin and his assistants and are not intended to harm our allies and their populations." Trudeau added that Ottawa will continue to "unreservedly" support Ukraine. 19:03 Great Britain and Morocco did not officially address the "DPR" about their citizens who fought on the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Pushilin said. 18:50 NATO is focused on military assistance to Ukraine, and not on its accession to the alliance, Stoltenberg said. 18:41 Podolyak assured that all Western weapons are carefully accounted for: "All types of weapons, including long-range ones, that Ukraine receives, undergo careful registration and are sent to the front. Weapons for Ukraine are a matter of survival. Control over them is a priority. All "rumors" about something else are banal Russian propaganda stuffing in order to disrupt supplies." 18:26 Hungary has declared a state of emergency in the field of energy, said the head of the office of the Prime Minister Gergely Guyash. 18:13 While martial law is in effect in Ukraine, the military and law enforcement officers must hand over their DNA data. As Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs Igor Bondarenko said on the air of the telethon, the relevant measures are related to the adoption of a law on state registration of human genomic information. He explained that representatives of these professions had the greatest losses in the war. At the same time, military data is not entered immediately into the DNA registry - they are stored in personal files and are taken only when necessary. 17:41 Negotiations on the grain issue between Ukraine, Russia, Turkey and the UN in Istanbul have ended, Russian media reported. 17:29 Two-thirds of refugees from Ukraine expect to leave their host countries and return to their homeland after the end of hostilities, according to a new UN study. At the same time, 40% of those who want to return plan to do so next month. 17:21 The third US citizen is in captivity in the occupied territories of Ukraine - 35-year-old Suedi Murekezi, The Guardian writes with reference to his friends and relatives, as well as volunteers. Murekezi was detained in Kherson, where he has been living for more than two years. Presumably, he is in a Donetsk prison. Murekezi did not participate in the fighting, unlike the other two American prisoners, but was detained for allegedly participating in pro-Ukrainian protests, which he himself denies. 17:15 The European Commission clarified its position on Kaliningrad transit: the transportation of goods through Lithuania that fell under sanctions is prohibited only by road. Rail transit is possible with the necessary controls, according to DW.

The head of the enterprise during the air raid took the employees to the shelter, which probably saved their lives, the OP reported. 16:48 "Head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs" so-called.

According to the publication, the Russian authorities, preparing for the war, took full control of the RKK a year ago: the former leader, 73-year-old Raisa Lukutsova, was accused of fraud, and now the eminent organization in the Russian Federation is run by Kirienko's sponsors. Ukrainian refugees do not know this and are surprised why they are treated in a boorish way, and independent volunteers are pushed aside from them, referring to the fact that humanitarian aid is the prerogative of the ROC and the RRC. 16:06 Russia has used all types of its missile weapons in Ukraine. This has never happened anywhere else in the world, said Colonel Yury Ignat, spokesman for the Air Force Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. 15:41 In the Odessa region, a pig farm building was destroyed by a missile attack tonight, a fire broke out, there were no human casualties, the Pivden Operational Command reports. 15:33 Pushilin said that the DPRK recognized the "DPR" today. 15:25 The Russians fired missiles at the Zaporozhye region. OVA reports that there were two hits, one missile hit the enterprise. 15:02 Zelensky addressed the participants of the Asian Leadership Conference in Seoul: "When Ukraine turns to partners for weapons for its defense and for the sake of strengthening sanctions against a terrorist state, this concerns not only our defense. It's like with vaccines: if you don't help others nations must be prepared that new strains of the virus will arise that will render your own protection ineffective. And I am sincerely grateful to the Republic of Korea, which is aware that this is the situation. That we must act together." 14:24 The invaders are preparing for defense in Melitopol, the mayor of the city Ivan Fedorov said. According to him, the pseudo-head of the health department ordered his subordinates to prepare food, water and seal the windows. Fedorov also explained the reason for the restriction on leaving the city: “They want to hide behind civilians during hostilities and now gather them as much as possible at the checkpoint in the city of Vasilyevka in order to cover themselves for the transfer of regular military groups to the front line.” 14:15 Talks between the delegations of Turkey, Russia, Ukraine and the UN on the grain issue began in Istanbul behind closed doors, RIA Novosti correspondent reports. 14:06 The "Ministry of Internal Affairs of the LPR" said that in the suburbs of Lugansk, the range where the ammunition was stored was hit by the Ukrainian military: "Our air defense worked - almost all the missiles were shot down, except for one that defeated the range where the ammunition depot was located The ammunition burned, exploded, scattered for one and a half, two, or even three kilometers." 13:50 In the Nikolaev area as of the morning the enemy struck 28 blows from MLRS on different settlements. As a result, the hospital and residential buildings were damaged. There was also shelling in the Vitovsky district, five civilians were previously killed, the OP reported. 13:41 To cover the budget deficit, Ukraine no longer needs $5 billion a month, as previously stated, but $9 billion, Zelensky's economic adviser Oleg Ustenko told the Financial Times. 13:35 Peskov said that during his visit to Tehran, Putin would not discuss the purchase of drones with the Iranian leader. 13:33 Podolyak explained Russia's desire to drag Belarus into the war against Ukraine: "We must understand that behind the attempts to draw Belarus into the war is not only Moscow's desire to cover the deficit of its military viability. Russia needs the utilization of the Belarusian army and the loss of power support by the Lukashenka regime. Further - absorption of RB and occupation by Russian z-zombies". 13:27 Since February 19, Russia has put 450,000 citizens of Ukraine on migration registration, including residents of the LDNR, the Russian Interior Ministry reported.

Another 41 victims received outpatient care. 12:59 In Melitopol, according to legal authorities, there are from 60 to 70 thousand people left - this is about 45-50% of the population that was in the city before the occupation, Mayor Ivan Fedorov said. 12:57 Kiev received guarantees from France that the European political community proposed by Macron is not an alternative to the possible inclusion of Ukraine in the EU, Kuleba said in an interview with País. "We have not received details about the proposal. France is working on a detailed concept of this community, we have the same idea of it in Kyiv as in Madrid, Rome or other capitals," the Foreign Minister added. 12:55 A Belarusian border guard crossed the border under shelling to fight on the side of Ukraine. According to the State Border Guard Service, he was detained in the Volyn region. The military man said that he served in the Brest border group, wanted to join the Defense Forces of Ukraine and, together with a like-minded person, went to the border. They were pursued with shooting, only he could reach the border. Now he is being checked by Ukrainian border guards. 12:52 The Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to keep the defense in the vicinity of the Luhansk region - two settlements of the region are controlled by the government, said the head of the OVA Serhiy Gaidai. He also said that the Russians are exporting grain from the occupied territories by KamAZ vehicles, while they destroyed food warehouses, shops and markets in large cities - settlements on the verge of a humanitarian catastrophe. According to Gaidai, the invaders are introducing their own mobile operator in the occupied territories. The centralized gas supply system has been destroyed in Rubizhnoye and Lisichansk, and significant funds will be needed to restore it. However, "there are people in the occupied territories who help us," Gaidai added. 12:48 Employees of the State Border Service daily detain more than 100 people who are trying to leave Ukraine without any reason, said the speaker of the State Border Guard Service Andriy Demchenko. He clarified that these are only those who are trying to cross the border through official checkpoints. At the same time, border guards daily detain those who are trying to escape from the country through the forest or swim across rivers. Demchenko added that sometimes the number of those who are denied permission to travel abroad can reach 200 people a day. 12:46 EU ambassadors on Thursday will begin consultations on the introduction of new restrictions against the Russian Federation, Radio Liberty correspondent Rikard Jozwiak said. According to the optimistic forecast, the sanctions should be agreed next week. 12:44 Over the past two weeks, the situation in Melitopol has become more tense, Ukrainian defenders and resistance forces do not allow Russians to live in peace, Mayor Ivan Fedorov said. According to him, the enemy clearly understands that their peaceful life has ended in Melitopol, and yesterday another confirmation of this was another neutralization of the enemy military base. 12:42 Employees of the FSB of the Russian Federation are looking for deserters in the territory of the occupied Zaporozhye region. According to the OVA, there are more and more people who left their units in the occupying forces. Now there are about 60 deserters, most often they hide in the basements of destroyed buildings, looking for any way to leave Ukraine. 12:29 Russian troops continue to hold four carriers of Caliber cruise missiles with a salvo of 24 missiles in the Black Sea, the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine report. 12:13 Pushilin said that there is no specific date for the execution of the sentence for the captured foreigners who fought for Ukraine. According to him, "the law does not provide for this, the decision will be non-public, not subject to publicity." 12:10 Iran will not supply weapons to Russia so as not to provoke further escalation in Ukraine, Foreign Minister Hossein-Amir Abdollahian said in an interview with La Repubblica: "We have defense agreements with Russia, but we will not help either side involved in this conflict." 12:07 The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation stated that in Nikolaev, "over 350 Ukrainian military and equipment from the reserve of the operational-tactical group Kakhovka" were allegedly destroyed by a strike on the territory of a shipbuilding plant. 12:03 The occupiers are moving military equipment from Crimea. As Mayor of Melitopol Ivan Fedorov said on the air of the telethon, about 40 pieces of equipment were seen in the direction of Kherson the day before, which transported fuel and ammunition: “All modern equipment is already buried in our fields, and now they are moving ammunition on old vehicles. There is nothing new there ". 12:00 Scientists at the SWP Institute in Berlin assessed the sanctions regime of the EU, the US and Japan and assessed the effects of the introduced measures on the Russian economy, China, India and the energy market. Read more in the material Sanctions of the West . 11:56 In Mariupol, the invaders shot down their own drone. As the adviser to the mayor of the city, Petr Andryushchenko, said, the drone was shot down in the area between the Levoberezhny district and Kalinovka. Out of fear and as an excuse, they are spreading rumors about the alleged downing of Tochka U. The fear is caused by the formation of BC warehouses in the Kalmiussky district and a distance of less than 100 km from the front line to the northeast in the direction of Ugledar. 11:34 Arestovich confirmed the strike on Luhansk. According to him, the HIMARS system was used.

Participants call themselves "Sobyaninsky regiment". According to the publication, the unit is at least partially funded from the budget of the capital of the Russian Federation. One of the recruiters for the "Sobyaninsky regiment" is Roman Vysotsky - the full namesake of one of the former commanders of the "People's Militia of the DPR". Within a month, mercenaries from the "Sobyaninsky regiment" will be trained at the Mulino training ground in the Nizhny Novgorod region, and then they will be sent to Ukraine. 11:04 If the "appeal" of the British soldiers sentenced to death and held captive by the "DPR" is not satisfied, the sentence will be carried out by firing squad, Pushilin said. Execution is the "officially" established form of the death penalty in the "DPR". 11:02 Ukraine is ready to export grain to the international market, negotiations on unblocking supplies are at the final stage , Kuleba said in an interview with País: "We are two steps away from an agreement with Russia. It is necessary to resolve security issues related to Russia's position. We are in the final phase "and it's all up to Russia now. If they really want to, grain exports will start soon. If they use that to keep playing their hunger games, they'll keep insisting on the importance of negotiations." The minister added that he sees only one potential reason why Russia might change its position on the grain blockade: “They want to show the countries of Africa and Asia that they want to save them from lack of food. But the truth is that Russia is not interested Ukraine exported because they know that if we export, we will receive income from international markets, and this will make us stronger." 10:51 In Chasovoy Yar, during rescue operations, the body of another woman was removed from under the rubble. In total, since the beginning of work, the bodies of 47 dead have been found at the scene, including one child, and nine people have been rescued from the rubble.

As the mayor of Melitopol Ivan Fedorov said on the air of the telethon, yesterday around 14:00 20-25 explosions were heard, after which black smoke was visible. The detonation lasted approximately 4-5 hours. At night in Melitopol, automatic bursts were heard all over the city. Thus, the Russians are trying, as they say, to shoot down drones, Fedorov added. 09:58 German Foreign Minister Annalena Burbock sees no chance for negotiations with the Russian Federation: "What can be negotiated with someone who does not even want to coordinate humanitarian corridors with the International Committee of the Red Cross for the evacuation of civilians?" She also stressed that she was not going to call on Ukraine for a ceasefire and peace talks: "What right does the German Foreign Minister have to decide for Ukraine, what part of her country to give to her, how many millions of her citizens should submit to the power of Russia?" 09:52 The World Congress of Ukrainians is suing Canada for violating sanctions and transferring repaired turbines for Nord Stream to Germany. A related statement notes that attempts to directly approach the Canadian government were unsuccessful: "Canada's decision to violate sanctions and send the Siemens turbine back to Russia is a serious mistake with horrific consequences. This exemption from the Russian sanctions regime is absolutely unacceptable. There are real alternatives to Germany's gas needs." , including purchases through the Ukrainian pipeline". 09:44 Mayor of Kramatorsk Alexander Goncharenko reported two strikes on the city in the morning. The hits fell on the forest belt and the industrial zone, according to preliminary information, there were no casualties. 09:42 Another wave of covert mobilization has begun in Mariupol.

Recruit people aged 25 to 30 years, without work experience. After applying for "employment," they are told that if they agree, they will be sent to Donetsk for "training and education" for two months. Andryushchenko urges Mariupol residents to avoid any employment that provides for the form and oath of the "DNR", since "this is a direct path to the trenches." 09:23 The number of those killed as a result of a missile strike on a house in Chasovoy Yar has increased to 46 - this night, the body of another person was taken out from under the rubble, the State Emergency Service reports. 09:01 The General Staff announced the approximate losses of the enemy on the morning of July 13. The enemy suffered the greatest losses in the Nikolaevsky direction.
08:49 In the Bashtansky district of the Nikolaev area as a result of rocket attack the woman was lost, the boiler house is also destroyed, the head of OVA Vitaly Kim reported. Also, as a result of rocket attacks, several fields with grain in the Bashtansky and Nikolaevsky districts caught fire. 08:43 British intelligence reports that in the Donbass, the Russian Federation will focus on taking several small cities, including Seversk and the Valley on the outskirts of Slavyansk and Kramatorsk. Analysts note that at this stage, the urban areas of Slavyansk and Kramatorsk remain the main targets of the Russian Federation. Moscow also continues to seek to undermine the legitimacy of the Ukrainian state and strengthen its own governance and administrative control over the occupied parts of Ukraine. This is also evidenced by Putin's decree, which makes it easier for Ukrainians to obtain Russian citizenship. Meanwhile, anti-Russian sentiment in occupied Ukraine leads to the persecution of Russian and pro-Russian officials, there are casualties. 08:31 The Russians are pressing not only from Lisichansk and Popasna, but also from the Izyum direction, said the head of the Lugansk OVA, Sergei Gaidai. According to him, in just a day, the Russian army launched four missile strikes, two air strikes, and used artillery 13 times. Gaidai also said that enemy DRGs are neutralized in the region every day. 08:28 In the controlled territory of the Donetsk region over the past day, four civilians were killed by Russian shelling - two in Avdiivka, one each in Bakhmut and in Chasovoy Yar, said the head of the OVA Pavel Kirilenko. Eight more people were injured. 08:10 The Ukrainian military repulsed the enemy assault in the Slavic direction, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reports in the morning report . In particular, the assault was repulsed in the direction of the settlements of Dolgenkoe and Dolina. At the same time, assault actions by the enemy to improve the tactical situation and create favorable conditions for conducting an offensive in the direction of Izyum-Slavyansk are not ruled out. It is noted that in the Slavyansk direction, the Russian troops do not stop shelling in the areas of the Valley, Dubravny, Kurulka, Mazanovka, Adamovka, Vernopolye, Gusarovka, Chepel, Bolshaya Kamyshevakha, Krasnopolye, Krestishche, Dovgensky and Mayak. 07:49 Germany from August 1 will stop buying Russian coal, and from December 31 will refuse Russian oil, said Deputy Finance Minister Jörg Kukis: "Anyone who knows the history of the Druzhba pipeline, which was already an instrument of the Soviet empire in Eastern Europe, knows that deliverance from this dependence is not a trivial matter, but this is what we will achieve in a few months." 07:45 Germany has published a complete list of military equipment and weapons , which are included in the package of military assistance to Ukraine for 2022. 07:39 The Russians fired at the Nikopol district of the Dnepropetrovsk region twice a night from the MLRS, the head of the OVA, Valentin Reznichenko, said. In addition to Nikopol itself, two more communities fell under attack - Krasnogrigoryevskaya and Mirovskaya. In Krasnogrigorievskaya, a power line was hit - Krasnogrigorevka itself and two villages were partially without electricity. In Mirovskaya, an institution of social infrastructure was damaged. 05:50 The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) called "unsuccessful" Russian offensives north of Slavyansk, east of Seversk, as well as "unsuccessful" - assaults north of Kharkov. ISW notes that Russian troops remain on an operational pause, but continue to bomb critical areas to set the stage for future ground offensives, and are also conducting limited attacks. Analysts also report that the Kremlin is acquiring Iranian drones that are likely to improve Russian aerial reconnaissance and indirect fire accuracy in Ukraine. The invaders continued air and artillery strikes in the area of Bakhmut and Avdiivka. Also, the occupiers probably carried out a false flag attack on the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant in occupied Energodar. 01:59 The "people's militia of the LNR" said that the Ukrainian troops launched a massive strike "on the military unit of the air defense, which ensures the security of Lugansk." They admitted that "several Ukrainian missiles reached their target during the shelling of Lugansk, the sky over the city is controlled by reserve forces." 00:38 Russian troops hit the Nikopol region from the MLRS in the evening, the head of the Dnepropetrovsk Regional Military District, Valentin Reznichenko, said. A fire broke out on the outskirts of Nikopol, rescuers are fighting the fire. Previously, no people were hurt. 00:05 Russia is blocking the export of grain from Ukraine by sea, because of which our country receives less income, and African countries are at risk of finding themselves on the verge of starvation. Ukraine is negotiating with Turkey and the UN regarding the export of grain. But exports are the most effective way to ensure the Armed Forces of Ukraine, for example, by driving out the occupiers from Snake Island. More details - in the material What will happen to Ukrainian grain . 00:02 Zelensky, in an evening video message, explained the significance of the fact that Ukraine became an associate member of NATO's special multilateral program for technological interoperability: "To put it simply, this is about the standards of the North Atlantic Alliance. Ukraine is now not only implementing NATO standards, but can also participate in the development of new standards. The experience of our military, the capabilities of Ukrainian institutions, the IT potential of our country - all this will be the Ukrainian contribution to the development of collective security in Europe." |
