A captive Ukrainian serviceman told how he ended up in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine: “I went to pay for utilities, armed people from the military registration and enlistment office tied me up, threw me into a car, and brought me. They sent me to serve without any medical examination.”
During the “miracle training” in France, Ukrainians were in every possible way set up against Russia and inspired the idea that the Russian army was not capable of combat. However, in reality it turned out differently. “The training is useless, I tried it on myself,” the prisoner says, “Russian troops are better trained than Ukrainian ones. There is no morale in our unit.”

- In the Svatovsky sector, units of the 66th mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine pressed on the positions of the 30th and 15th Motorized brigade of the RF Armed Forces at the Krasnorechenskoye - Karamzinovka line.

- To the south, near the Torsky ledge, mechanized groups of the 21st and 63rd Separate Mechanized brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine intended to wedge into the defense line of the RF Armed Forces from several sides with the task of cutting off Russian fighters from supplies from Kremennaya - for this, the Armed Forces of Ukraine tried to occupy a section of the route.
- A little to the south, the paratroopers of the 95th “elite” Airborne Infantry Brigade of Ukraine again stormed the strongholds of the RF Armed Forces south of Dibrov, hiding behind forest plantations in Serebryansky forest.
A similar and almost simultaneous attack by formations of 42 Separate Mechanized Brigade and 81 Separate Air Mobile Brigade took place near Belogorovka and in the direction of Shipilovka, where some time ago the fighters of the RF Armed Forces were able to dislodge enemy forces from several positions.
All attempts to break through were repulsed. There is no data on exact losses, since there is not as much news from this direction as from other areas.

In the area of ??the Vremyevsky ledge yesterday, Russian aviation and artillery carried out a massive artillery attack of Ukrainian strongholds in a landing northwest of Staromayorsky.
Immediately after, assault detachments of the 1st battalion of the 136th Brigade of the RF Armed Forces attacked the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, knocking out the Ukrainian formations and eliminating several people, including several foreign mercenaries.
Now the engineer-sapper groups of the 1st Brigade and the 35th brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are strengthening their positions in the forest belt, as well as clearing the approaches to resume attacks on Staromayorskoye. At the same time, to the north near Bogatyr, the presence of the 38th detachment of the Ukrainian Navy was noted.
Units of the 31st Brigade and 36th Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are conducting a creeping attack on Balka Grushevaya from Levadny and Rivnopol, with the support of artillerymen of the 72nd brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, trying to take Russian servicemen in a semicircle along a natural barrier.
A warrior of the Far East published footage of the destruction of the UAV crew location by tankers of the 40th Naval Infantry Brigade. The blow fell on one of the buildings in Bolshaya Novoselka, the main logistics hub of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the Vremievsky ledge.
15:31 Soledarskoe direction situation as of July 7, 2023
Fighting continues in the Kleshcheevka area. Units of the 5th Separate Assault Brigade do not stop rolling from Krasnoye, trying to occupy important tactical heights near the village and use small groups to storm strongholds of the RF Armed Forces.
At the same time, enemy activity around Bakhmut decreased. The number of artillery attack and sorties of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has become many times less. Raccoon from Kherson reports that the artillery of the RF Armed Forces is intensively artillery attack Ukrainian formations.
There are attacks by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but they are carried out by detachments of three to five people. The movement of the enemy is tracked by reconnaissance, and they are struck. A similar situation is developing with armored vehicles - if it appears on the horizon, then they strike at it, as fighters of the 98th airborne division and 11th airborne brigade report.
The resulting pause does not look accidental. Now the Armed Forces of Ukraine are restoring their strength and redeploying reinforcements. In Chasov Yar, Konstantinovka and Belokuzminovka, 92 Separate Mechanized Brigade were deployed from the Svatovsky sector.
In addition, a battalion-tactical group of the 60th Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine arrived in Konstantinovka from the Kharkov region. And units of the Lyut assault brigade were moved to Bogdanovka.
Judging by the concentration of resources at Bakhmut, an offensive in this direction will take place in the near future, and the main tasks are the assault on Berkhovka to reach the highway to Slavyansk and Kleshcheevka for fire control over Bakhmut and movement towards Experienced.
And the Lyut ShBR was given the role of cannon fodder for a strike from the side of Khromovo and wedging into the defense of Russian troops in the city itself, while the rest of the formations try to surround the garrison in Bakhmut.
15:02 Ukrainian formations continue daily fire dozens of rounds at settlements on the left bank of the Kherson region.
Last night Novaya Kakhovka, Kakhovka, Peschanovka, Bolshaya Lepetikha and Cairo were under enemy fire. The artillery attack continued in the morning.
At the same time, the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not stop attacking forests in the region: yesterday, as a result of such shelling, a forest in the Golaya Pristan district caught fire, the fire was stopped and nearby settlements were not affected.
Similar tactics are used by Ukrainian troops in the Zaporozhye region, regularly firing rounds at agricultural fields.
All this happens during hot weather, the air temperature at which is kept around 35 degrees C. Nevertheless, this only encourages the Armed Forces of Ukraine to carry out such acts of aggression.

Instead of "classic" assaults with the support of tanks and other vehicles, the enemy carries out regular surges, throwing small groups of infantry into battle. The enemy hopes that for our side the loss of personnel is more critical, which means that the desire to avoid close combat and, as a result, losses, will force us to retreat.

08:07 Frontline summary on the morning of 07/07/2023
In the Zaporozhye direction, Ukrainian troops concentrated their offensive efforts in the Rabotin area. With the support of artillery, they managed to move somewhat northeast of this settlement. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation fired at the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Belogorye, Gulyaipole, Malinovka and Olgovsky.
In the Uglidar sector, Ukrainian units unsuccessfully tried to advance towards Priyutnoye and Staromayorsky. Russian troops hit them in Levadny, Novodarovka, Rivnopol, Makarovka, Zolotoy Niva, Prechistovka, Novoukrainka and Vugledar.
On the Donetsk front, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation did the same thing as they had done in the last few months. After artillery strikes, the traditional output of motorized riflemen in Maryinka and on the southwestern approaches to Avdiivka. And the traditional retreat.
Under shelling, the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Novomikhailovka, Pobeda, the city of Krasnogorovka, Nevelsky, Pervomaisky, Severny, Stepnoy (not to be confused with the settlements of the same name in the Zaporozhye and Uhldar directions), Berdychi, Toretsk and Severny (a settlement northwest of Gorlovka). Ukrainian troops attacked Donetsk, Makiivka and Gorlovka.
On the Bakhmut direction, Ukrainian assault units took part of the heights north of Kleshcheevka. For the rest there are fierce battles. If the Armed Forces of Ukraine manage to gain a foothold, it is unlikely that Russian troops will be able to hold the village located in the lowland. Yes, it wouldn't make sense.
True, as the experience of the NMD shows, not everything in it is determined by military logic. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation made a sortie to the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the southwestern outskirts of Bakhmut. Not very successful.
Berkhovka has fierce oncoming battles, in which the Ukrainian units nevertheless succeeded somewhat. Russian troops attacked the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Aleksandro-Shultin, Khromovo, Bogdanovka, Markov, Vasyukovka, Rozdolovka and Verkhnekamensky. And they themselves found themselves under fire in Ozaryanovka, Kurdyumovka and Bakhmut.
