Cluster munitions will be used only in places where the Russian military gathers to break through enemy defense lines with minimal risk to the lives of Ukrainian soldiers.
3. Ukraine will keep a strict record of the use of these weapons and local areas where they will be used.
4. After de-occupation, these territories will be priority for demining purposes. This will remove the risks associated with unexploded elements of cluster munitions.
5. Ukraine will report to its partners on the use of these munitions and on their effectiveness.

04:15 The United States can provide Ukraine with security guarantees similar to Israel, which do not involve joining NATO, Biden said. He clarified that this is a ten-year commitment that the United States is taking on: "It provides for the provision of military and financial assistance packages, as well as the possibility of joint production."
At the same time, Biden believes that the issue of Ukraine's accession to NATO can only be considered after the end of the war: "Ukraine is not ready for NATO membership now, in the midst of the war. There is no unanimity among the members of the Alliance about admitting Ukraine to NATO now." At the same time, he stressed that the United States and NATO allies will continue to provide Ukraine with the weapons necessary to end the war with Russia.
As for the supply of cluster shells to Ukraine, according to Biden, this decision was not an easy one, but the need for them in the Ukrainian army is obvious. According to him, the Ukrainian military is running out of ammunition: "I discussed this with our allies. We are in a situation where Ukraine is being brutally attacked - this is one reason. The second is that the Ukrainians are running out of ammunition for 155-mm howitzers. This is a war related to ammunition ".
Biden suggested that cluster munitions would help the Armed Forces of Ukraine break through the fortifications of the Russian army. He added that the shipment of cluster munitions to Ukraine would continue during a "transitional period" until the US ramps up production of 155mm rounds.
00:47 Erdogan said at a joint press conference with Zelensky that Ukraine deserves NATO membership. "No one will lose in the creation of a just world ... From the annexation, contrary to international law, to this day, we declare our support for the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine. One of the important reasons why we look with confidence at the future of Ukraine is the fact that the Crimean Tatars are stubbornly fighting for the freedom of their country," Erdogan said.
The Turkish President also said that his country would help Ukraine "get back on its feet": "Our construction companies, which are leaders in this market in Ukraine, will help our Ukrainian friends in restoring the country."
Erdogan said that he expects an official visit from Putin in August. Among the main topics that Erdogan plans to discuss with the head of the Kremlin are the grain agreement and the exchange of prisoners between the Russian Federation and Ukraine.
00:35 The Ministry of Strategic Industries of Ukraine signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of Industry and Technology of Turkey in the field of strategic industries.

basically, we can't send the Ukraine as many artillery shells as they need so we are sending cluster bombs and although they may kill civilians, it will shorten the war and net out at saved civilians

[REGNUM] SOVIET ERSATZ PATRIOTISM
Imperial patriotism after 1917 became a crime and was etched with blood. Instead, it was not a new love for the country and people, but a quasi-religious belief in abstraction - communism, labor, internationalism, and so on. The name of the country had no connection with the native land at all. Nationalities, if not abolished, were reduced to a rudiment. Faith was forbidden. The past was oblivion and lustration.

[Regnum] The German Federal Intelligence Service may have intercepted a telephone conversation between Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko and Wagner PMC owner Yevgeny Prigozhin on June 24 during an attempted armed rebellion, German broadcasters, members of the ARD media group, reported.
German intelligence must have been aware of the attempted armed rebellion in Russia in advance and followed the negotiations between Lukashenka and Prigozhin, according to the Tagesschau publication.
It is alleged that German intelligence officers learned directly about Lukashenka's mediating role. At the same time, the representative of the intelligence service itself did not comment on the sources of obtaining data on the negotiations.
A week before the incident, intelligence tried to get information from partners. Having failed to achieve success, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz was not informed in time about the upcoming events in Russia. The department only before the start of the rebellion passed information to the German government, according to the journalists' investigation.
As IA Regnum reported, on June 24, PMC Wagner, founded by businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin, tried to stage an armed rebellion in Russia. PMC fighters on heavy equipment arrived in Rostov-on-Don, and then some of them headed towards Moscow in a column.
President of Belarus Lukashenko, in agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin, held talks with Prigozhin. The parties agreed that armed fighters would stop moving across Russian territory, and further steps would be taken to de-escalate tensions. The PMC column stopped the movement, the military left Rostov-on-Don.
The PMC fighters were offered to conclude a contract with the Russian Ministry of Defense, return to their families or go to Belarus.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov noted that all Russian political forces have already spoken out about the armed rebellion. Moscow does not care about Western concerns on this issue, the minister added.
From the V Kontakte page of Reports from the militia of Novorossiya
“During the time of participation in the conflict in Ukraine, Wagner PMC was noted not only for military victories, but also for its respectful attitude towards the enemy. The footage of the transfer of the bodies of the dead Ukrainian servicemen confirms this.
The tradition of dignified treatment of the enemy both on the battlefield and in captivity, in fact, originates from the moment the Wagner PMC itself was born as a combat unit - as one of the integral elements.
In the book of military commissar Kirill Romanovsky "Eight Years with Wagner", one of the fighters tells about the attitude towards Ukrainian prisoners in 2014, when there were battles for the Lugansk airport: The book can be found online here
The treatment of prisoners was always normal, they were never offended. They put them in a circle, someone standing there lectures them, that they are wrong, that they need to change their minds. These guys are sitting - grimy, young. Someone is sitting like that, lowering his head, someone is looking like a wolf, not hiding his hatred. Open. We even gave them cigarettes.
Then I don’t remember, we exchanged them like. And then, already at home, I was sitting, flipping through videos on the Internet and came across a Ukrainian documentary about the Lugansk airport. Like, their view of all these events - what kind of brigade was there, what kind of troops were there, how the IL-76 was shot down, back and forth. And one of the eyewitnesses is a guy from that very pack of prisoners. I still have themThere are pictures, I remember him very well.
And here he sits and talks. He is asked how he got captured:
- Well, we were sitting, defending the airport building. They fired back, fired back, there were no more cartridges left. And then the Russians roll up the tank, point the cannon and say: Surrender, or we'll equalize everyone here now. Well, what was to be done?
And here he is sitting like that, and I think - what an infection. We didn’t do anything to the prisoners – we didn’t execute them, we didn’t shoot them, as the Ukrainians try to imagine. Captured, then given away, exchanged - and that's it.
After the airport, the most memorable thing was that we drove into Lugansk in a column, and we were met by local residents. It reminded me of the chronicles of the Second World War, when the winners were met. Well, with flowers there, back and forth. We were really welcomed by the whole city.”

[Rudaw] The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) on Saturday denied reports their forces were fighting in Ukraine, saying they are not concerned with issues outside Syria.
“Some media outlets have published fabricated and biased news about the alleged participation of our SDF fighters in the ongoing war in Ukraine,” Farhad Shami, head of the SDF’s media center, said on Twitter.
“We emphasize that these news reports are false and have no basis in reality, and they are disseminated by entities known for their unreliable sources,” he added.
Shami said that fighting in someone else’s war does not align with SDF’s “patriotic priorities” and struggle within Syrian territories.
“Our forces are not concerned with issues outside Syria,” he said.
On Friday, a Russian news outlet reported that the United States transported around 650 SDF fighters to Ukraine through the Kurdistan Region over the past six months. The report also claimed that SDF has opened training centers in Deir ez-Zor and Hasaka to prepare fighters before deploying them to Ukraine.
Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, both US and NATO allies have sent military aid to Kyiv. On Friday, the Pentagon announced an additional $800 million security assistance package for Ukraine, including controversial Dual-Purpose Improved Conventional Munitions (DPICM), also known as cluster munitions.
The SDF is a Kurdish-led armed force that was established during Syria’s civil conflict. It is the US-led global coalition’s main ally in the fight against Islamic State (ISIS) militants in Syria.

May I take this opportunity of emphasizing that there is no cannibalism in the British Navy are no SDF forces in Ukraine, absolutely none. And when I say none, I mean there is a certain amount, more than I personally admit.
