Deepstate: Russia occupied two villages in Donetsk region
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Korrespondent] The settlements are located near Dachny, where the occupiers are actively trying to break through.

Russia has "a compelling media reason to fire up the propaganda machine" over its offensive in Dnipropetrovsk, analysts say.


Russian occupiers have occupied the villages of Zeleny Kut and Novoukrainka near the administrative border of Dnipropetrovsk and Donetsk regions and are trying to advance further, Deepstate reports.

The settlements are located near Dachny, where the occupiers are actively trying to break through.

"Additional resources have been brought in to prevent advances into the Dnepropetrovsk region and the occupation of the village of SOU, but due to quantitative superiority and continuous assaults by small groups of infantry, the enemy is breaking through the defensive lines of Ukrainian fighters, which has long been nothing new in many areas of the front," the statement said.

Russia has a "big media reason to launch the propaganda machine" by entering Dnipropetrovsk region, analysts note. But for Ukraine it is also an "important and principled position" not to allow Russians beyond the administrative border.

"The situation is complicated, and the situation on the combat line, the existing problems and the "endless" number of Russians complicate this situation even more. In this direction, we will see many more similar discussions, because the Katsaps are making rapid advances in the area of ​​Yalta, which is also on the administrative border, Zvezda, Poddubny, Tolstoy, Shevchenko, Voskresenka and other settlements," the Deepstate report says.

Earlier, analysts said that in June, the Russian army occupied 556 square kilometers of Ukrainian territory. The largest advances were in the Novopavlovsky and Pokrovsky areas - 29% and 27%, respectively.

Ukrainian Armed Forces Attack in 11 directions - Ukrainian General Staff
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Korrespondent] The Ukrainian Armed Forces are engaged in heavy fighting in the east and south of Ukraine.

The most active battles were fought in the Pokrovsky direction. There, the Ukrainian Armed Forces stopped 66 Russian assaults.


Over the past 24 hours, 183 combat clashes were recorded on the front in 11 directions. This was reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in an operational report as of 8:00 on Saturday, July 5.

According to updated information, yesterday the Russian occupation army launched four missile strikes and 74 air strikes, using 14 missiles and 117 guided bombs. The enemy carried out 6,312 attacks, including 118 from MLRS, and deployed 5,250 kamikaze drones.

In turn, aviation, missile forces and artillery of the Defense Forces hit 10 areas of concentration of Russian personnel, weapons and military equipment, three artillery weapons, an air defense system, a UAV control point, an ammunition depot and five other important objects.

Thus, in the Severo-Slobodskoy and Kursk directions, our defenders repelled 17 attacks by the invading forces.

In the South Slobodskoy direction, the enemy tried to break through 10 times in the areas of Vovchansk, Glubokoe, Zelenoe, Kamenka and in the direction of Kutkovka.

There were eight enemy attacks in the Kupyansk direction. Our defenders repelled assaults in the areas of the settlements of Golubovka, Zagrizovo and Zelenyi Gai.

In the Liman direction, the enemy attacked 27 times. They tried to penetrate the defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the areas of the settlements of Nadezhda, Grekovka, Karpovka, Ridkodub, Zelenaya Dolina, Torskoye, Dibrova and in the direction of Grigoryevka.

In the Seversky direction, the enemy made three attempts to advance in the Verkhnekamyansky and Vyemka areas.

In the Toretsk direction, the aggressors carried out 11 attacks in the areas of Romanovka and in the direction of Rusiny Yar and Yablunovka.

In the Pokrovsk direction, our defenders stopped 66 assaults in the areas of the settlements of Poltavka, Novotoretskoye, Razinye, Mirolyubovka, Promen, Novoukrainka, Udachnoye, Novosergeevka, Kotlyarovka and Alekseevka.

In the Dnieper direction, the enemy made three unsuccessful attempts to attack the positions of Ukrainian units in the area of ​​the Antonovsky Bridge.

Let us recall that in the course of 24 hours on July 4, Russia lost more than 1,000 fighters killed and wounded and more than 500 units of various equipment. Total Russian losses are approaching 1.1 million people.

Kadyrov sends 60,000 fighters to the SVO
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Not particularly good soldiers, but they are fanatics, which makes them dangerous.

That's 12 brigades, if anyone is keeping track.

And that many fewer Moslem fanatics who’ll be around to cause trouble in Russia later.
[KavkazUzel] 60,344 fighters have been sent from Chechnya to participate in the military operation in Ukraine, of which 22,064 are volunteers, while 13,000 fighters are in the combat zone, Ramzan Kadyrov reported.

As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, the Chechen authorities regularly report on sending groups of fighters from the republic to the zone of the military operation in Ukraine. On May 7, at a meeting with the Russian president, Kadyrov reported that 55,500 fighters have been sent from Chechnya since the beginning of the military operation, including 21,600 volunteers. "Right now there are more than 11 thousand of our guys from the Ministry of Defense, the Russian National Guard, the Akhmat special forces and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Chechen Republic at the front," Kadyrov wrote on his Telegram channel that same day.

As of today, 60,344 fighters have been sent from Chechnya to the combat zone, of which 22,064 are volunteers, Ramzan Kadyrov said on his Telegram channel, reporting on the results of a meeting in the republic's government. According to him, there are more than 13 thousand servicemen from Chechnya in the combat zone.

The data on the total number of security forces sent from Chechnya do not include the military personnel who have left the country, are in barracks, are on leave, or have left the combat zone as part of the rotation. At the same time, since November 2022, Kadyrov has accompanied each report on the dispatch of another group with an appeal to contact the Grozny mayor's office and sign up as a volunteer, and regularly emphasizes that the flow of volunteers is not decreasing and there are no problems with their recruitment. He also regularly reports that there are many residents of other regions of Russia among the volunteers.

On January 14, volunteers who arrived in Chechnya to sign a military contract  complained that they were being kept locked up for weeks in order to be sent to the combat zone instead of local residents who had paid off their service. According to human rights activists, coercion to sign contracts is practiced in Chechnya, and security forces  may create an "exchange fund"  from volunteers who arrived from other regions, who will sign contracts instead of local residents.

Investigative Committee identifies the Ukrainian who ordered the shooting down of the Il-76 with Russian prisoners
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The Russian Il-76 aircraft, transporting captured Ukrainian military personnel, was shot down on the orders of the commander of the 138th anti-aircraft missile brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Nikolai Dzyaman. This was established by the Investigative Committee of Russia during the investigation of the disaster that occurred in January 2024 in the Belgorod region.

According to the department, the plane was hit by an anti-aircraft missile from one of the Patriot air defense systems, which are in service with the 138th Brigade.

“The servicemen who struck the aircraft were carrying out an illegal order from the brigade commander Nikolai Dzyaman and the higher command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces,” the press service of the Russian Investigative Committee said in a statement.

Dzyaman is accused of committing a terrorist act and is on the international wanted list. Other accomplices in the crime, including high-ranking Ukrainian military officers, are being identified.

The results of the investigation were reported to the Chairman of the Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin, at an operational meeting of the headquarters for the investigation of Kiev's crimes, which took place in Donetsk, the department noted.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, on January 24 last year, a heavy military transport aircraft Il-76 of the Russian Aerospace Forces, which took off from the Chkalovsky airfield near Moscow, crashed in the Belgorod region, near the village of Yablonovo. There were 74 people on board: six crew members, three escorts and 65 captured Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers who were being transported to Belgorod for exchange. They all died.

Security forces report hundreds of Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers missing near Sumy
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Hundreds of soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) have disappeared from the 158th Mechanized Brigade in Sumy Oblast. This was reported by Russian security agencies, citing relatives of the soldiers.

“Relatives and friends of servicemen of the 158th Mechanized Brigade report hundreds of missing persons in the Sumy region and rude treatment from the brigade command,” TASS quoted a representative of the security forces as saying.

The agency's source also said that the 531st battalion of the 21st Army Territorial Defense Corps, which was transferred to the Sumy direction, consists mainly of mobilized Ukrainians of pre-retirement age.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, on July 3, security forces reported that almost all of the fighters from the second assault company of the 425th separate assault regiment of the Ukrainian Armed Forces had gone missing in action in the Sumy region.

Also missing are the majority of former prisoners mobilized into the Shkval battalion of the 57th separate motorized infantry brigade of the Ukrainian army. According to social media, they disappeared near Vovchansk in the Kharkiv region in the 20th of June. Most likely, this is the result of numerous unsuccessful attempts by the Ukrainian Armed Forces to conduct counterattacks.

According to the Ministry of Defense, in the first half of the year, the losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces exceeded 265 thousand people killed and wounded. In June alone, the Kiev regime lost almost 45 thousand servicemen.

In Ukraine, volunteers from air defense groups may be sent to the front

In Ukraine, citizens who are part of volunteer air defense groups may be mobilized. They are not provided with a reservation. This was reported by the deputy head of the Ukrainian State Aviation Service, Serhiy Yakubenko.

Commenting on his words, Russian war correspondent Alexander Kots noted that now Ukrainian residents who voluntarily defended Ukrainian skies will be forcibly sent to the front.

"Obviously, mobile fire teams on pickups with machine guns can no longer cope with the Geranium raids. Our drones approach the target at an altitude where they are out of range of the rifles," the military correspondent wrote on his Telegram channel.
