[Korrespondent] 21:48 Denmark will allocate 615 million crowns (about $90 million) for the reconstruction of Ukraine. The funds will be used to restore schools, hospitals and clinics, bomb shelters, water, heat and energy supply, as well as support the population in war-affected areas, the country's Foreign Ministry said. The department noted that special attention will be paid to Nikolaev and the Nikolaev region.
21:15 Zelensky said in an evening video message that today he heard a report by Air Force Commander Mykola Onishchuk on strengthening air defense, "so that the Ukrainian air shield can protect our entire territory from Russian terror, and in the future - become the basis for a European air shield. This is absolutely necessary and quite possible."
According to the head of state, Ukraine does not yet have enough high-quality air defense systems to protect the entire territory and shoot down all enemy targets: "The enemy uses this, as they do today - by inflicting another terrorist attack on the city of Sumy with an Iranian drone, including on residential buildings, as well as on the building of the Security Service of Ukraine".
The president also said that he had instructed Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba to call the Georgian ambassador and protest to him about the fact that "the Kremlin - unfortunately, by the hands of the current government of Georgia - is killing Ukrainian citizen Mikheil Saakashvili." Zelensky called on the Georgian authorities to transfer Saakashvili to Ukraine.
20:54 Russian propaganda is deliberately spreading information about the "Ukrainian landing" near the Antonovsky Bridge, Pivden Yug speaker Natalya Gumenyuk said. According to her, because of this, the Russian army inflicts more blows on the right bank, and on Oleshki, Gola Pristan and other occupied settlements. At the same time, the Ukrainian forces in the Kherson region are primarily engaged in counter-battery combat. Gumenyuk urged to refrain from "unnecessary discussions."
20:13 Erdogan said that Turkey, while implementing diplomatic efforts for the Ukrainian settlement, faced the actions of the "lobby of supporters of the continuation of the conflict."
20:06 Zelensky said that he had a "long and fruitful" telephone conversation with Chancellor Scholz: "We coordinated positions before the NATO Vilnius summit and discussed the formats of future security guarantees for Ukraine. He informed about the situation on the battlefield. We shared our assessments of recent events in Russia and Belarus and discussed the current state of the grain agreement and the importance of its extension.
The President also thanked for the important signals of support for Ukraine at the London Reconstruction Conference and the European Council, the active implementation of the previous EUR 2.7 billion defense package and for the EUR 8.8 billion multi-year defense support plan for Ukraine.
19:55 In the Bakhmut direction, the situation has escalated again, Anna Malyar said. According to her, the fight continues to seize the initiative. Today, the enemy also tried to attack in this direction, but to no avail, the Ukrainian forces had some success. "However, the situation is changing very rapidly. Control over the same positions can be lost and restored twice a day. The enemy actively reacts to all our actions and creates three lines of defense in threatening directions," Malyar added.
She noted that on the southern flank in the Kleshcheevka area, Ukrainian troops are fighting, but advancing. Meanwhile, fighting continues on the northern flank. Bakhmut itself is also restless: the enemy in the city is constantly firing, trying to disrupt logistics and inflict maximum losses on the Defense Forces. At the same time, the Armed Forces of Ukraine do not allow the enemy to move around the city and hit his positions with fire.

18:41 Until the end of the war, Ukraine will not even receive a plan for future entry into NATO, said German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius. According to him, the terms of entry will be determined after the war, since the Alliance should never become a party to the conflict. "Therefore, we will not be able to respond to the request for Ukraine's entry into NATO while there is a war in Ukraine. Only then we all - and I think there will be 32 allies then, together with Sweden - together with Ukraine will decide the conditions for joining the Alliance," Pistorius said.
18:20 As a result of the Russian attack on the center of Sumy, two people were killed and 19 were injured. One five-year-old child was among those injured, the OVA said.

17:02 The Russians continue to prepare for a terrorist attack at the Crimean Titan plant in Armyansk, according to the Evocation.info investigative team.

"Events unfold and change very dynamically, some positions change hands twice a day," he said. According to Syrsky, in Bakhmut, the enemy is actively using mortars, machine guns, anti-tank systems, snipers and firing at Ukrainian positions, "trying to hit everything that moves."
16:13 The court sentenced a novice of the Pochaev Assumption Lavra to five years in prison with confiscation of property, who justified Russia's armed aggression against Ukraine, the SBU reported.
15:55 Poland and Germany plan to agree on the opening of a center for the repair of Leopard 2 tanks delivered to Ukraine within ten days, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said following negotiations with his Polish counterpart Mariusz Blaszczak.
The center was supposed to open in Poland at the end of May, the cost of its construction in Berlin was estimated at 150 million euros. However, the contract has not yet been concluded. Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said that the main problem is the lack of spare parts.
15:29 In Sumy, four strikes of a Shahed-136 type UAV were recorded in the city center. As a result of hits, an administrative building and two apartment buildings were damaged.

The company is one of the world leaders in the food and household chemicals market. She owns over 400 brands, including Domestos, Ax, Rexona, Dove, Brooke Bond, Lipton, CIF, Knorr, Chistaya Liniya and others. The NAPC explained this decision by the fact that, working in the Russian Federation, the company pays significant taxes to the Russian state budget, thereby supporting the economy of the aggressor and contributing to the continuation of the war against Ukraine.
The NAPC recalled that after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the company promised to suspend all imports and exports of its products to and from the Russian Federation, as well as to stop all media and advertising expenses. However, during the year of the war, Unilever Russia's profit doubled from 4.8 to 9.2 billion rubles, and Unilever Rus LLC paid about $50 million in taxes to the Russian budget for 2022.
14:35 The head of the NATO military committee, Rob Bauer, praised the start of the Ukrainian counter-offensive: "No one should think that this is a simple matter ... We saw in Normandy during World War II that it took the allies seven, eight, nine weeks to actually break through the lines defense of the Germans, so it is not surprising that this does not happen quickly."
Bauer thinks it's right that Ukrainian forces act cautiously to avoid heavy casualties when looking for a breakthrough: "This type of operation is extremely difficult, and I think the way they conduct it is commendable."
14:03 European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced the launch of the International Center for the Investigation of Russia's Crimes of Aggression against Ukraine (ICPA) in The Hague. She called it the first step towards a tribunal for the crime of aggression. The Center will gather evidence and document Russia's crimes so that those responsible can be brought to justice.
13:57 The head of the CEC of the Russian Federation, Ella Pamfilova, at a meeting with Putin, said that if the situation in the "new regions", that is, in the annexed Ukrainian territories, worsens, then the Central Election Commission has the right to postpone the "elections" in them, scheduled for September. She also noted that electronic voting is not yet planned there, since it is technically difficult.
13:52 The war will not end until the liberation of Crimea, Zelensky said in an interview with CNN: "We cannot imagine Ukraine without Crimea. And as long as Crimea is under Russian occupation, this means only one thing - the war is not over yet." The President added that no scenario without the return of Crimea would be a victory for Ukraine.
13:44 Zaluzhny, together with the Chief of the General Staff, Sergei Shaptala, visited the Rivne NPP on July 1, where they agreed to maintain close contacts with power engineers to analyze and predict possible scenarios at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant in order to quickly respond to all situations.

According to the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, two employees of the holding have already been detained. According to the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, they allegedly transferred more than 500 million rubles for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and a case "on the financing of terrorism" was opened.

10:26 In the Kherson region, the Russians are organizing so-called carpet shelling of the local population, said the speaker of OK Pivden Natalya Gumenyuk. According to her, this is already a common practice - when the Defense Forces begin active operations in any sector of the front, the enemy increases pressure on the civilian population.
According to Gumenyuk, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are now trying to clear the lane as much as possible in order to advance, but this work is greatly complicated by the consequences of the terrorist attack at the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station. On the left bank, water still covers many settlements very abundantly, she added.
09:57 The FSB announced that it allegedly stopped an assassination attempt on the "head" of the occupied Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, organized by "Ukrainian special services." A citizen of Russia was detained, who was allegedly "recruited by the SBU and who was trained in Ukraine in mine-explosive business." According to the FSB, the man planned to blow up Aksyonov's car, but he was caught taking the bomb from a hiding place.

[Regnum] Russia has reason to hope that the grain deal will not be extended, Mikhail Delyagin, deputy chairman of the State Duma committee on economic policy, believes. On July 3, he told the IA Regnum correspondent about this , commenting on the statement by the press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov that there were not many hopes that part of the agreements on the grain deal would be fulfilled.
Deputy Delyagin urged not to renew the grain deal unfavorable for Russia
“It has been repeatedly said that the grain deal is unprofitable and pointless for Russia, ” Delyagin said. — The grain deal is extremely beneficial for Turkey. Therefore, it can take extremely hostile and painful steps against us (in the event of a breakdown in the deal. - Approx. IA Regnum ). But if we demonstrate our readiness to protect our interests, including in terms of restricting the activities of Turkish business in Russia, then this scenario can be avoided.”
At the same time, Delyagin doubted that Russia would not be able to export grain without a corresponding deal. In addition, he said that he sees no problem in the fact that a number of Russian banks have lost access to SWIFT.
“To be honest, I don’t really understand what the problem is. We have only a few of the largest state-owned banks disconnected from SWIFT. Everyone else has access. Moreover, I am shocked that Russian state-owned banks have not tried to connect to alternative SWIFT systems. Of course, these systems are crooked and less convenient than SWIFT, but they exist and they function,” Delyagin said.
In turn, the director of the Institute for Socio-Economic Research of the Financial University under the government, economist Aleksey Zubets suggested that, most likely, the grain deal would be terminated. According to him, the main thing here is not SWIFT for Rosselkhozbank.
“In addition, the deal included spare parts for agricultural machinery, freedom to export grain, fertilizers, freedom of freight and insurance. The West went to ensure that sanctions were lifted on food exports. But at the same time, there is no freedom of freight, no freedom of insurance, no SWIFT connection and no spare parts,” Zubets said.
Moreover, the latter, as the economist emphasized, is the most important part of Russian demands. And until the West agrees to satisfy these demands, there will be no deal.
“And he will not go as long as Ukraine believes that it has a chance to defeat Russia on the battlefield,” summed up Zubets.
Earlier, IA Regnum reported that, according to the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov, part of the agreements on the grain deal has not yet been fulfilled and there are “not many” hopes that the situation will change before its expiration.
Meanwhile, the Financial Times newspaper, citing its own sources, reported that the EU is exploring the possibility of allowing Rosselkhozbank to create a subsidiary that can be connected to the international SWIFT system for settlements under a grain deal.
In turn, the coordinator for strategic communications at the White House National Security Council, John Kirby , said that the United States hopes that the grain deal, which "benefits the whole world," will be extended.
[Wash Times] A brief rebellion led by the founder of the Wagner Group mercenary army failed to oust Russia’s senior military leaders because troops remained loyal to their commanders, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said Monday in his first known public remarks about the aborted uprising.
He said the June 23-25 mutiny was nothing less than an attempt to destabilize Russia.
"The provocation did not affect the actions of the troops. The servicemen courageously and selflessly continued to solve the tasks assigned to them," Gen. Shoigu said in an address to top Russian military officials. "Endeavor to persevere"
Yevgeny Prigozhin, the former caterer turned military commander, regularly blamed Mr. Shoigu and General Valery Gerasimov, chief of the General Staff, for not supporting the Wagner Group and seeking to fold his organization into the Russian Ministry of Defense.
On June 23, Mr. Prigozhin claimed Russian military forces attacked his base camps — a charge Moscow vehemently denied.
Mr. Prigozhin sent his Wagner Group forces back into Russia, quickly capturing the city of Rostov-on-Don.
The rebel troops got within about 120 miles of Moscow and then suddenly stopped, apparently as a result of negotiations by Aleksandr Lukashenko, president of Belarus.
Mr. Prigozhin, who was allowed to remain in Belarus as part of the deal, said he decided to end the advance to avoid "shedding Russian blood."
"I thank the personnel for their conscientious service," Gen. Shoigu said, according to Russia’s state-owned Sputnik news agency.

"The servicemen courageously and selflessly continued to solve the tasks assigned to them"
Remembering that the 15-20% of all Russian military personnel, who are actually stationed in Russia proper where this 'coup' occurred, are mostly career types that have a fairly good life (and for whom a mutiny might not be a good thing) as opposed to the 80-85% who are grunts in the SMO trenches and might likely support Prigozhin.

[Chervonec] The outrageous situation at the Grushinsky festival, where the competition commission imposed a ban on any patriotic songs, and especially those dedicated to the NWO.
Among those who were denied a speech were participants in the special operation, and even deputies of the Gubernia Duma. All of them had to sing at the "alternative" site "Victory".
Moreover, when the organizers were required to release Mikhail Kalinkin, the finalist of Pobeda, at the final gala concert, the festival leaders (Galina Khomchik and others) delayed its start, saying: either we or Kalinkin.
As a result, they managed to “break through” with great difficulty, however, the chairman of the artistic council and the headliner of the festival, Oleg Mityaev, did not go on stage in protest. And at the time of Kalinkin's performance of the song "We Need One Victory", when the whole glade stood up, some of the capital's bards, including Khomchik, demonstratively remained seated. The president of Grusha, Boris Keilman, did not get up either.
These people - Mityaev, Khomchik, Keilman - do not seem to need a victory at all. But they need money from the budget.
Only from the Presidential Grants Fund 29 million rubles were allocated for the festival. And that's not counting funds from the regional budget and a grant from Rosatom.
The worst thing is that this is repeated from time to time (which is why the alternative scene “Victory” arose), but the Samara authorities continue to turn a blind eye, admiring Mityaev and Khomchik.
With the departure of the Minister of Culture, the outspoken Navalist Tatyana Mrdulyash, who also spoke out against the SVO, the situation has not changed at all. Perhaps because many in the leadership of the region share these views and internally support people like Mityaev and Khomchik.

P.S.
Under Stalin, this would have been unthinkable. The named persons would immediately and without conversations go to the felling, led by the leadership of this region. But Putin is doing well. To the felling means taken to work camps in the east.
Something is not right in the Danish kingdom. Oops, something's not right.

Approximately 50,000 LGBT soldiers are fighting for Ukraine
Ukrainian gay soldiers were greatly inspired by the experience of Estonia, the first country in the post-Soviet space to legalize same-sex marriage.
They hope the same thing will happen soon in Ukraine: “The fight against Russia is the fight of LGBT people for their rights” (c) The Telegraph
Oh, how romantic! One homosexual is at the front, and the second is waiting for him at home.
When the first is denazified, the second will be caught by the military commissars and sent to steer the Leopard.

[ColonelCassad] Again about ammunition
Within the framework of historical information. It is claimed that "In 1942, the USSR fired 73.4 million artillery rounds, and in 1943 almost 86 million."
Conclusion "That is, almost 9 (nine!) Special military operations." The main question here is "what kind of artillery shots?".
In 1942, 437,300 shots of 122mm A-19 mod. were fired in the Soviet Union.
1931, 2 million artillery rounds for the 122mm howitzer 10/38 (there were still plenty of them), 1.5 million rounds for the 122mm howitzer in 1938.
Total 122mm of all types in 1942 ~ 4 million 152mm shots of all types 2.5 million pieces. Shots for the 152mm Br-2 and 203mm B-4 were fired in 1942 ~ 20 thousand pieces, in 1943 - 40,000 pieces, stat. error on our millions.
280mm in 1942-1943 were not produced at all. At all. In total, there are 68.6 million shots for ground artillery. The source of secret knowledge is the case of the RGAE (Russian Archive of Economics). The expenditure of the active army is a different story, we take only production.
Total shells 122mm and 152 mm in millions in 1942 6.5 million or 9.4% of the total output. Well, not bad, to be honest.
In 1943, 122mm of all types made 6.8 million pieces, 152mm - 3.4 million pieces out of 80 million shots of ground artillery (ShVAK-i and VYa went through aviation ammunition). Total 122mm/152-mm in 1943, 10.2 million pieces or 12.8%. Better, but also the share is not so big.
And what did the factories of the People's Commissariat of Ammunition produce? 76mm of all types - in 1942 26.9 million, in 1943 36.9 million pieces.
In 1942, 17.4 million shots were made for 45mm shots, in 1943 - 14.7 million to drive 45mm in commercial quantities instead of production lost in 1941). 45mm gun was the Soviets' most common antitank gun, small and lightweight.
37mm anti-aircraft guns in 1942-1943 released 11 million. Mortar 120mm in 1942 made 7.3 million, in 1943 - 13 million.
Now there are no45mm and 76.2mm in the troops. Accordingly, I would venture to suggest that in 10-11 million per year, a very significant share is just 122mm and 152mm artillery rounds. Estimated. Who knows the correct (exact) answer, he will receive ten years, as you know. But one way or another, the difference in working calibers is not so big, as far as one can judge.
The era has changed. There are an order of magnitude fewer people, comparable ammunition.
Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:
[ColonelCassad] Reportedly, the French AMX-10RC wheeled tanks performed poorly at the front. Of the 30 delivered machines, nine already have been lost irretrievably, without bringing significant benefits. Critical articles about these wheeled tanks in the Western press complete the picture.
1. The car was initially poorly adapted for this theater of operations, so it is strange that someone expected something different. Ukraine here has become a victim of its own military propaganda.
2. The machine itself, to put it mildly, is not new. It can be considered modern technology only with a significant stretch.
3. The vehicle is lightly armored and protects little from anything, which is very critical given the dominance of artillery at the front.
4. Crews were trained hastily and badly. Actually, the Armed Forces of Ukraine did not have the tactics of using wheeled tanks (this is a foreign concept for the Armed Forces of Ukraine), so they used fragments of someone else's.
5. The failure of the application will strengthen the position of those who say that the term "wheeled tank" should be quoted.

PS. During the fighting, the RF Armed Forces captured 3 out of 9 AMX-10RCs lost by the enemy.

▪The enemy has no chance - we must attack. Yesterday and this morning, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are conducting serious reconnaissance in force in Zaporozhye and Orekhovskydirections. So far, unsuccessfully, but yesterday there was a good attack: they even broke into the first trenches, but by the evening we knocked them out.
▪We can expect a climax in the Zaporizhia direction by the middle of the week, when the Armed Forces of Ukraine will try to launch a decisive assault before the NATO summit on July 11-12.
▪The enemy has reserves. According to Alexander Khodakovsky, the Armed Forces of Ukraine prepared up to 40 battalions for the attack, which is about 12 brigades or up to 40 thousand people. However, this is not a shock fist, but all the parts on this line. Pretty powerful group.
It should be taken into account that our troops have been fighting defensive battles for a month already, fatigue has accumulated, and the Armed Forces of Ukraine have fresh forces.
There are shots where the "Leopards" are sheathed with Soviet armor.
▪Sheathed "Leopards" 2A4, which do not have active armor. Ukrainian crews scald mounts for hinged blocks of Ukrainian production and hang the tank with these blocks. It turned out anti-PR of Western technology.
The boats need to start!
The video shows that our guys had 18 seconds to start a motor boat on the Dnieper and leave the shelling zone. The motor didn't start. The Popular Front announced an urgent collection for the purchase of motor boats for our units.
▪Because of such a boat, which did not start, a good operation was disrupted to destroy the enemy stronghold in the Dnieper delta.
Fighting is going on in the Orekhovsky direction in Zaporozhye. The enemy is very active. The situation is tense. By the way, we have already turned our defense into an active defense. Now not only the enemy is attacking, but we are also successfully counterattacking. Of course, we are not talking about our big counteroffensive. We first returned to the tactics of last year, when we were also on the defensive in some sections.
We sat quietly, the enemy seized the initiative and did what he wanted. We started biting back, and biting hurts. In this case, we are hitting the advancing companies of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with artillery and aircraft, hitting the rear with missiles, but now the Russian infantry is also tearing the enemy apart with counterattacks.
This greatly complicates the task of the enemy. One week left before the NATO summit in the Baltics. Ukraine needs to show the hosts the result, until it turns out.

[RIA] Things in the cradle of "European democracy, rights and freedoms" are getting worse than ever. Macron cancels a state visit to Germany, instead of having dinner with Scholz and other diplomatic hugs, he cannot take a step from the Elysee Palace, where ministers and prefects run to him around the clock. No one manages to restore order and ensure security.
Neither mass detentions (over 700 people on average per night), nor dispersal by special forces of the gendarmerie of ordinary passers-by and tourists on the Champs Elysees help. Not rebels, but those wishing to walk in the evening fell under the distribution. In the midst of travel season, bludgeoning threats will no doubt go down in history as a way to attract travelers to Paris. To see the capital of France and get punched in the face for it is a purely Gallic way to please.
The statements of the authorities differ in approximately the same level of intelligence. Initially, the country's president announced that video games were "to blame" for the riot (actually, of course, this is a popular uprising), since the instigators of the riots turned out to be gamers.
Then the same president accused parents (all parents of all teenagers) of "badly raising children, allowing them to leave the house in the evenings and meet friends on the street." Macron is childless, but until he said this, he was not considered insane - at least not enough to hang his own mistakes and failures on complete strangers. Accusing them of not locking their offspring at home with a key.
Further, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Digital Development decided that social networks were to blame for what was happening, and at night they called the top managers of TikTok, Snapchat and Twitter and demanded with an ultimatum to demolish several thousand accounts, block content in hundreds of accounts, forcing even Elon Musk to slow down the algorithms on Twitter."
If we follow the logic of the President of France and the ministers of the power bloc, then the rebels, it turns out, simply outplayed the "tanks", and their parents do not cope well with their duties. And the state is white, fluffy and absolutely out of business. France was attacked by ill-bred gamers, to sum up what was said by those who used capture groups against them (the local analogue of Alpha), which until now have been used exclusively in anti-terrorist operations, when it was necessary to physically eliminate those responsible for the massacres of radicals.
Now the French state is using capture groups against badly educated gamers, who, as it turned out, are not too happy with the fact that they are considered not even second-class people, but third-class people. The testimonies of teenagers , who state in a very restrained way how they are being bullied by the police, are in fact a condemnation of the entire French establishment. And the policy that he pursues.
It is the establishment, and it is worth emphasizing, that developed plans to whip up chaos in our country with the help of economic restrictions.
It was this establishment, having a galaxy of NGOs at its disposal, that hatched plans for the "de-imperialization of Russia", involving various foreign agents, and as a model of Russian "cruelty and imperialism", relying, for example, in its training manuals on "The Captain's Daughter".
The purpose of this establishment was to divide our society and discredit the institutions of the Russian state, which are used, as lured experts said, by the authorities solely for "repression, suppression of personal freedoms and punishment of those who disagree."
But what do we see in the cradle of these same rights and freedoms?
We see the censorship of the Internet - it was achieved by the Parisian establishment with the help of threats and blackmail. We see the restriction of personal freedoms, when the young are subject to discrimination - that is, the future of France. They are simply forbidden to leave the house after nine in the evening. We see a restriction of the right to free movement even within the city limits - public transport stops working in the evening. We also know about the authorities' attempts to cut off communications in, as she puts it, "difficult quarters."
They could not do this pointwise for technical reasons, and it seemed excessive to deprive people of the opportunity to call an ambulance even to stupid French bureaucrats. But the train of thought, of course, staggers the imagination.
Everything that the French authorities wanted to arrange in Russia, she received almost a stone's throw from her place of work: almost all the shops, including grocery stores, within a radius of half a kilometer from the Elysee Palace were looted. ATM machines were smashed and banknotes were taken from there. On the streets, movement is possible only by short runs.
It is not only possible, but necessary, to look at this abyss of chaos in order to understand what the collective West was preparing for Russia. They dug a trap for us, but fell into it themselves. Whether or not Macron and K succeed in getting out of the hole is not our problem. Without turning around, we will pass by, leaving the old European stones to their fate.
