[Regnum] The victory of the Labor Party in the UK parliamentary elections does not inspire optimism in terms of improving Russian-British relations. This was stated by the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov to journalists on July 5.
According to the Kremlin spokesman, the Labour Party is more likely to continue its line of denying the future of Moscow-London relations. The Labour Party's previous statements do not indicate flexibility or a desire to normalise relations.
“Therefore, we do not feel any optimism here,” Peskov said.
As reported by Regnum News Agency, the Labour Party won the elections to the House of Commons, the lower house of the UK Parliament, securing more than half of the 650 seats. Rishi Sunak, who had led the British government since October 25, 2022, acknowledged the Conservatives' defeat in the elections and resigned as Prime Minister.
One has to ask if he did anything right since ascending to the office, except to resign.
He was replaced as Prime Minister by Labour leader Keir Starmer. He received a mandate to form a government from King Charles III.
According to Elena Ananyeva, head of the Center for British Studies at the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS), the victory of the Labor Party will not change the country's attitude toward Russia. She recalled that the Labor Party has established itself as a party that supports the Kiev regime.

The Kharkiv region is under constant bombardment by enemy aircraft. In particular, on July 5, terrorists carried out a total of five airstrikes — they shot down nine anti-aircraft missiles from the side of Belgorod and Shebekino.

Worth noting, korrespondent.net has compiled its Invasion of Ukraine series into separate months, beginning May 9th, 2023. Linked in the title.
[Korrespondent] 22:38 During the day, five Kh-59 guided air missiles and seven reconnaissance drones were shot down by air defense systems in the south of Ukraine: four ZALA, two Supercam and one Orlan-10, the Air Force reported.
22:34 Russians dropped two guided aerial bombs on Selidovo in Donetsk Oblast - at least five people were killed and eight were wounded, OVA head Vadim Filishkin reported. Both bombs hit the territory of enterprises. 15 private houses, 21 cars, four stores and an industrial building were damaged.
22:25 Zelensky said that he had a telephone conversation with Keir Starmer on the day of his appointment as the new Prime Minister of Great Britain. "We coordinated positions before the NATO summit in Washington and other international events and discussed the continuation of bilateral cooperation, in particular the preparation of an unprecedented 100-year agreement between Ukraine and Great Britain," the president said.
21:19 Marine Le Pen said that if her party representative Jordan Bardella becomes prime minister, he will prohibit Ukraine from using French long-range weapons to strike at Russian territory. In addition, according to her, he will not allow French troops to be sent to Ukraine.
20:46 Zelensky thanked Germany in an evening video address for the delivery of the third Patriot air defense system, and the United States for "another step to strengthen our air defense, our Patriots." In addition, the president said that today he held a meeting on the Ukrainian missile program, and also took part in the work of the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities of Ukraine to support communities and companies in the face of severe electricity shortages.
"There are already changes to the legislation that have been prepared and will be voted on. There are government decisions. There are new credit programs - completely interest-free loans for people and cheap and loyal loans for businesses. All this should start working as soon as possible," the head of state said. According to him, negotiations with European partners on increasing the volume of electricity imports and restoring energy facilities are also continuing.
19:57 On Saturday, July 6, hourly shutdown schedules will be in effect throughout the day, Ukrenergo reported. From 17:00 to 22:00, three queues of hourly shutdown schedules will be in effect, and at other times, two queues.
19:31 More than 1,080 cultural and historical sites have been destroyed, damaged or looted by Russian troops during the full-scale invasion, Prosecutor General Andrei Kostin said. According to him, a specialized unit is investigating about 70 criminal cases of war crimes against cultural heritage. Among them is the destruction of the Grigory Skovoroda Museum in the Kharkiv region.
18:58 Russia is losing a naval center in Crimea, Ukrainian Navy Commander Oleksiy Neizhpapa told Reuters: "This logistics center was created over many decades, perhaps centuries. And now they are obviously losing it." He recalled that Ukraine has destroyed or damaged 27 warships, five of which were destroyed as a result of detonation of sea mines laid by Ukrainian naval drones near Sevastopol Bay.
Neizhpapa is also confident that the F-16s will allow the expansion of the corridor for merchant ships in the Black Sea, since they will deprive the Russian Federation of its advantage in the sky: "The F-16s with the appropriate weapons will be able to push back Russian military aircraft. The northwestern part of the Black Sea, especially the corridor for civilian ships, will be almost 100% protected."
18:37 Guerrillas from the Atesh movement have announced that they have stopped the movement of trains carrying North Korean ammunition near Yekaterinburg. According to them, the railway track on the Trans-Siberian Railway, along which North Korean ammunition was being delivered, was blown up.
18:14 Russians shelled the village of Komar in the Volnovakha district of Donetsk Oblast - at least one person was killed and 20 were wounded, said the head of the OVA Vadim Filashkin. The enemy dropped three guided bombs on the village - 13 private houses, four stores, two multi-story buildings, two infrastructure facilities and an administrative building were damaged. In addition, there is information about two killed and two wounded in Selidovo. Another person was killed and one wounded as a result of the shelling of Ukrainsk.
17:28 Putin, at a joint briefing with Orban in Moscow, again stated that Russia demands the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from the entire territory of the Kherson, Zaporizhia, Donetsk and Luhansk regions to begin negotiations on ending the war. At the same time, the Russian Federation is ready to discuss other peace conditions. "There are other peace conditions, they are the subject of consideration in the course of possible joint work," Putin said.
Orban, in turn, said that the positions of Ukraine and Russia are "far apart." According to the Hungarian prime minister, he realized this after talks with Zelensky and Putin. Orban said that "Europe needs peace," and he discussed with Putin "achieving peace in Ukraine and the shortest path to this." And Hungary's main task in the coming six months of its presidency of the EU Council will be "the fight for peace."
16:59 There is a radical change of power in Ukraine's key ally, Great Britain. The Conservatives have lost to the Labour Party in a landslide. The leader of the Labour Party, Keir Starmer, has officially become the new Prime Minister. Starmer is the first Labour Prime Minister in 14 years and the seventh Labour Prime Minister in history. What Ukraine can expect is discussed in the article Britain Has a New Prime Minister .
16:31 NATO countries will agree a substantial package of support for Ukraine at the Washington summit, Stoltenberg said: "I expect the heads of state and government to agree a substantial package for Ukraine." The secretary general added that NATO would also coordinate and deliver most of the international security assistance, with a command led by a three-star general and several hundred staff based at NATO headquarters in Germany and at logistical hubs in the eastern part of the Alliance.
16:18 The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry stated that Orban's visit to Moscow is taking place without agreement or coordination with Kiev. "We remind you that for our state the principle of "no agreements on Ukraine without Ukraine" remains unshakable, and we call on all states to strictly adhere to it," the statement said. The Foreign Ministry named the Peace Formula as the only realistic way to restore a fair peace.
At the same time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized that "Ukraine remains constructively disposed to further work on the development of bilateral cooperation and European integration following the visit of the Hungarian Prime Minister to Kyiv."
16:07 Russian publics write that in the Rostov region, a Mi-28 was shot down, which took off to intercept Ukrainian drones. The emergency landing caused a powerful fire - the fire engulfed about 500 sq. m.
15:49 US Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink said that the issue of strengthening Ukrainian air defense should be considered during the NATO summit in Washington: "I expect there will be announcements about air defense, which is extremely important to you, especially at this time, both to protect the front line and to protect cities, and also to protect the energy infrastructure here, which is what we are doing."
15:25 In Lviv, schools will start the academic year on August 19, Mayor Andriy Sadovyi announced. According to him, this is due to the difficult situation with electricity. It is assumed that in the event of a complete blackout, all Lviv schools will become 24-hour points of invincibility. However, if the situation with electricity stabilizes in winter, schools will operate as usual.
14:47 European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said that appeasement will not stop Putin - only unity and determination will make it possible to achieve a fair peace in Ukraine.
14:36 Latvia will transfer another batch of drones to Ukraine in July. More than 2,500 combat drones of various types and characteristics will be delivered to Ukraine for a total of 4 million euros. The first batch of 300 UAVs will be delivered in the coming days, the Latvian Defense Ministry reported.
14:24 From July 9 to 24, the power outage schedules will be changed in all regions, Ukrenergo reported. Thus, in each region, on one of the days during these two weeks, there will be no restrictions, and on other days, the restrictions will be according to the schedules. This is necessary to measure actual consumption in each region. Such measurements are made annually, in winter and summer, and allow for more accurate forecasting of the operating modes of the country's energy system.
14:13 Erdogan said that Ankara is ready to contribute to "creating the ground" for peace in Ukraine: "I want to believe that tensions will be reduced and a basis, a ground for peace will be created. We are ready to contribute to the creation and protection of this ground, as we have done so far." According to the Turkish president, he discussed Turkey's mediation during talks with Putin in Astana.
Erdogan also expressed hope that the Black Sea grain corridor would work again. He also said that there are countries in the West "that are paving the way to World War III," while Putin allegedly "stands for peace."
13:18 A military airfield in Primorsko-Akhtarsk was damaged as a result of a night attack on Krasnodar Krai, the Russian opposition publication Astra reports, citing sources in emergency services. The region was attacked not only by drones, but also by at least two missiles, and one serviceman was wounded. In addition to the airfield, an electrical substation was hit in Primorsko-Akhtarsk, causing power outages for some subscribers.
12:55 The third Patriot air defense system from Germany has arrived in Ukraine , German Ambassador Martin Jaeger reported.
12:39 Orban has arrived in Moscow, his press secretary Bertalan Havasi said. Orban is expected to meet with Putin.
12:04 Orban's visit to Moscow is taking place exclusively within the framework of bilateral relations between Hungary and Russia, and not the presidency of the EU Council, said the head of European diplomacy Josep Borrell: "The EU's position on Russia's aggressive war against Ukraine is reflected in many conclusions of the European Council. This position excludes official contacts between the EU and President Putin. Thus, the Hungarian Prime Minister does not represent the EU in any form."
11:42 Zelensky congratulated Keir Starmer and the Labour Party on their victory in the UK parliamentary elections: "Ukraine and the UK have been and will remain reliable allies. We will continue to defend and promote our common values."
11:06 NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg expressed hope in an interview with the DPA agency that Ukraine will join the Alliance within ten years. He also once again called for increased aid to Ukraine: "The stronger our support, the sooner this war will end. The more long-term commitments we make, the sooner the war will end. Right now Putin thinks he can outlast us. We must convince him that he cannot do this, and this will create the conditions for ending the war."
10:33 In the Kharkiv region, one person was killed and five were injured as a result of shelling by the KAB in the village of Glushkovka, Kupyansk district, reported the head of the OVA Oleg Sinegubov.

09:14 The death toll from the Russian attack on the Dnieper on July 3 has risen to eight - another wounded person has died in the hospital, OVA head Serhiy Lysak reported.
09:06 Orban confirmed that Hungary's EU presidency does not provide a mandate for negotiations on Ukraine. At the same time, he seeks to "encourage the parties to start a path" that could end in negotiations.

[KavkazUzel] The publication of threats from Adam Kadyrov against blogger Khasan Khalitov does not reduce the risks for the critic of the Chechen authorities living abroad, but serves as further confirmation of the involvement of the Chechen authorities in the kidnapping of his relatives, said a political scientist and human rights activist interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot".
As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, the kidnapping of relatives of the Chechen blogger living abroad, critic of Ramzan Kadyrov, Khasan Khalitov, is revenge for his call to the Deputy Prime Minister of Chechnya, Ayshat Kadyrova, threats to Khalitov were made by the son of the head of Chechnya, Adam, human rights activists interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot" are sure. They expressed concern for the condition of the blogger's relatives, especially his elderly father. Earlier, Khalitov said that the authorities had summoned his father and two brothers to Grozny for a talk several days ago, since then their whereabouts are unknown.
On October 2, 2023, Ramzan Kadyrov announced that his eldest daughter and Chechen Minister of Culture Aishat Kadyrova would become Deputy Prime Minister of Chechnya for the social block. His son Adam, who turned 16 in November, became widely known after a video of the beating of Volgograd resident Nikita Zhuravel, arrested in the case of burning the Koran, in a pretrial detention center. After that, Adam Kadyrov received many awards, in November 2023 he was appointed to the post of head of the security department of the head of Chechnya, and in the spring he became the curator of the Russian University of Special Forces, according to the reference "The Main Thing About Kadyrov's Personnel Policy".
The kidnapping of Khalitov's relatives or other people who disappeared in Chechnya can only be the work of the Chechen authorities, a Chechen political scientist believes.
“And the threats against him, published by Khalitov, are additional confirmation of involvement,” he noted.
According to the political scientist, the publication of threats cannot reduce the risks for Khalitov and his relatives. "The Chechen authorities have come to believe in impunity, and this is confirmed by the Kremlin's reaction to the crimes committed there," he said.
A representative of "Vayfond" Muhammad Abdurakhmanov is sure that the impetus for the threats was a call from blogger Ayshat Kadyrova. "After this call, Khalitov received a call from Ayshat's husband. And then Kadyrov's son Adam called back and threatened to kill Khasan within two weeks. Without a doubt, the kidnapping of relatives is connected with this latest incident. And with Khalitov's activities in general. But this dialogue served as an escalation," he said.
He believes that publicizing the threatening conversations will not protect Khalitov in any way. "The threat has not diminished. Because after the start of Kadyrov's men and the Russian special services in general have been acting aggressively. They are not restrained by any international obligations. They can openly eliminate their opponents and, one might say, have declared war on them and the West," Abdurakhmanov said.
"Kavkazsky Uzel" also wrote that Khasan Khalitov had previously repeatedly complained about the persecution of his relatives in Chechnya. In particular, on January 27, 2022, he said that his father was fired from his job and his sister was forced to close her business.
On January 24, 2022, Khalitov received a photo of his naked sister, who was kidnapped in Chechnya along with her husband in December 2021. According to the blogger, the person who sent the photos threatened to make them public if Khalitov did not stop criticizing the Chechen authorities.
Khalitov's sister was not kidnapped or photographed naked, the blogger's relatives said in a video message, calling on him to stop criticizing the republic's leadership. According to human rights activists, Khalitov's relatives recorded the videos under pressure and threats.
From December 22 to 24, 2022, Kadyrov critics Tumso Abdurakhmanov, Minkail Malizayev and Khasan Khalitov reported the kidnapping of relatives in Chechnya; there were also reports of the kidnapping of relatives of Vayfond founder Mansur Sadulayev and human rights activist Aslan Artsuyev.

The Ukrainian air defense units are unable to protect the airfield, because they cannot even protect themselves. As is tradition, the partially camouflaged base was attacked by an Iskander OTRK, which had the most serious consequences for the Ukrainian air defense system.

South Donetsk direction: battles near Konstantinovka and advance near Ikryanaya gully.
In addition to the successes near Avdeevka and Gorlovka, Russian troops also managed to advance in several areas of the South Donetsk direction.
To the west of Georgievka, fighting continues on the eastern outskirts of Maksimilyanovka and in the forest belts to the south in the vicinity of the N-15 highway. Further south, in the Pobeda area, units of the Russian Armed Forces carried out several local attacks, occupying forest belts adjacent to the village.
In Praskovyevka and to the north near the Svinyachya gully, no changes in control zones have been observed on either side. Fighting is also underway on the southeastern outskirts of Konstantinovka: assault groups of the Russian Armed Forces have already entered the territory of the settlement, but it is difficult to confirm their consolidation there due to the lack of objective control personnel.
The situation in the area of the Ikryanaya and Shirokaya gullies, as well as the railway, has become clearer: in a few weeks, Russian troops have been able to advance significantly, occupying several large strongholds of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. At the same time, attacks continue, and by now the advance towards the T-05-24 highway may be even greater.
The enemy in this area is not sitting idle and regularly launches counterattacks, including with the use of armored vehicles. At the same time, the area here is very remote from large populated areas, which affects the logistics of both the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the Russian Armed Forces, especially in conditions of high intensity of UAV use.
There are no large-scale actions recorded in the Ugledar area, but footage of airstrikes on high-rises in the enemy-occupied city has begun to appear online again. However, this hardly means preparations for a new assault, since strikes along the entire front line occur daily.

Avdeevka direction: heavy fighting and advance of the Russian Armed Forces in several areas.
In the Avdeevka direction, as a result of several successful attacks, Russian troops have significantly expanded their zone of control in almost all areas of the direction.
In the Novoaleksandrovka area, units of the Russian Armed Forces are breaking through enemy defenses in the direction of Vozdvizhenka along the C050906 highway and Lozovatskoye through fields and forest belts. Although it is too early to talk about storming populated areas, certain successes have already been achieved on the approaches to them.
Between Novoaleksandrovka and Sokol, Russian troops are advancing along the railway, occupying landings to the north and south. The status of stopping point #8 is still unclear: according to some sources, the Russian Armed Forces have already advanced further west to Progress, while according to others, fighting is currently underway for it.
North of Sokol, Russian troops had previously captured a large stronghold and continued moving north, driving the enemy out of the western part of the Samoylovka gully. According to some information, the forest belt to the west is also already under the control of the Russian Armed Forces, but this information has not yet been confirmed.
Sokol itself is under the stable control of the Russian Armed Forces, and clashes are taking place in the eastern part of Yevgenovka. According to some reports, fighting has also broken out on the eastern outskirts of Voskhod. In this area, the enemy is very active and often counterattacks, actively using UAVs.
In the fields between Sokol and Novopokrovskoe, the Russian Armed Forces have also been recorded advancing westward toward the road between Novoselovka Pervaya and Sokol. The advance assault groups have already reached the forest plantations near the highway, but it is not yet clear whether they have managed to gain a foothold there.
South of Novopokrovskoe, Russian troops are fighting their way to the eastern outskirts of Novoselovka Pervaya, both along the O0542 highway and through the fields to the C0518107 highway. North of Umanskoe, the Russian Armed Forces have also managed to advance slightly as a result of a successful attack.
12:55 Around 10.50 Moscow time stopped an attempt by the Kyiv regime to carry out a terrorist attack using an aircraft-type UAV against targets on the territory of the Russian Federation.
A Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicle was destroyed by air defense systems on duty over the territory of the Belgorod region.

Aleksandro-Kalinovskoe direction: advance of the Russian Armed Forces in Novgorodskoye, battles in Druzhba and at the junction of Kirovo-Artemovo.
Russian troops continue to consistently and with heavy fighting break through the defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Dzerzhinsky agglomeration.
In the Druzhba area, after initial successes, they did not go deeper into the urban development and moved north from Magdalinovka station along Sadovaya Street: judging by the footage from the enemy side, the Russian Armed Forces occupied part of the buildings on the street.
To the east, between the outskirts of Druzhba and the pumping station, there is a small ravine, most of which has also been occupied by Russian troops. The positions on the western bank of the Seversky Donets-Donbass Canal are still under the control of Ukrainian formations, but given the tactical situation, they are already in a semi-encirclement.
There have been no assaults by the Russian Armed Forces on the eastern outskirts of Kirovo (Pivnichnoye). This part of the village is a low-rise private sector, which is currently being actively attacked by artillery and aviation. To the east there are fairly large minefields, which are difficult to move through.
Fighting is underway south of Artemovo (Zaliznoye) and Kirovo. Earlier, Russian troops occupied summer houses and a block to the east of Zheleznodorozhnaya Street and Kharkovskaya Street in Artemovo, but new footage confirms the start of fighting in the high-rise buildings on Yuzhnaya and Novaya Streets in Kirovo. The block has already been repeatedly hit, but is still defensible.
The Novgorodskoye area is currently recording the largest advance of the Russian Armed Forces, the result of a week of active assault operations. Russian assault groups have occupied the territory of the Zheleznaya station and also moved along the street of the same name to the east to the cemetery. Neighboring school No. 18 remains under enemy control for now.
To the west of the Krivoy Torets River, the tactically important height 182, as well as the village of Yuryevka, came under the control of Russian troops, which in the long term could significantly worsen the situation of Ukrainian formations in this area.
At the same time, the situation in this area remains difficult: the advance zone is located in a lowland relative to the fields on both sides, and this area itself has been heavily mined since 2014-2015. However, the latter also complicates a counterflank attack from the enemy itself, although its possibility cannot be completely discounted.
11:22 Statement by the head of the press center of the Center group –video.
The Center group of forces continues to carry out combat missions in the area of the special military operation.

The enemy lost up to 490 servicemen, three tanks and two vehicles. During the counterbattery battle, three 122mm D-30 howitzers and a 100mm MT-12 Rapira anti-tank gun were destroyed by artillery fire.

[REGNUM] Exactly ten years ago, on July 5, 2014, fire from Ukrainian Grad systems rained down on the positions of the DPR Vostok battalion at the height of Saur-Mogila (in the southeast of the DPR, less than ten kilometers from the border with Russia). Artillery shells hit, among other things, the memorial to Soviet soldiers who liberated Donbass from the Nazis in 1943. Eyewitnesses recall: the steles and sculptures survived, but the eternal flame went out, and the inscription to the left of the stairs leading to the top of Saur-Mogila was destroyed: “Protect, protect, protect the world!” After the artillery attack, the assault began - on July 6, neo-Nazis from the Azov battalion, now banned in Russia, launched the assault.

[Regnum] Russia is in favor of a complete and final end to the conflict. This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin at a press conference following talks with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
Russia is in favor of a complete and final end to the conflict, Putin noted.
“And this should not be just a truce or a temporary ceasefire, not some kind of pause that the Kiev regime could use to recover losses, regroup and rearm,” the Russian leader added.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, the day before, Putin, during his speech at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in Astana, stated that the plan proposed by Russia to resolve the conflict in Ukraine would allow for an immediate end to military actions and the initiation of a negotiation process. The head of state noted that Moscow has always advocated a peaceful and political-diplomatic resolution to the Ukrainian crisis, which, as Putin emphasized, arose as a result of the unceremonious policies of the United States and its satellites.
On June 14, the Russian leader named the conditions necessary for a ceasefire. One of them is Ukraine's refusal to join NATO. According to the second condition, Kiev must withdraw its troops from the Kherson and Zaporizhia regions, as well as the Luhansk and Donetsk People's Republics. At the same time, Putin ruled out the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine as a condition for starting negotiations.
On June 20, the President recalled that Moscow is ready for negotiations with the Ukrainian side on the basis of the Minsk and Istanbul agreements. So far, there are no signals about readiness for negotiations from the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, the head of state added.
[Regnum] The Ukrainian leadership is still not ready to give up on continuing the conflict until a victorious end, Russian President Vladimir Putin told journalists on July 5 following a meeting with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban in the Kremlin.
“As we see the state of affairs, including taking into account what we heard today from the Prime Minister, Kiev is still not ready to abandon military action until a victorious end,” Putin said.
The Russian leader also suggested that the Ukrainian leadership rejects the idea of a ceasefire, since then the pretext for extending martial law will disappear and presidential elections will have to be held. But since the current leaders have completely lost legitimacy, and their ratings have collapsed, their chances of winning the vote are close to zero.
Putin said that Russia remains open to discussing a political and diplomatic settlement of the conflict, but Kiev does not want this.
As reported by Regnum News Agency, Orban arrived in Moscow on July 5 to discuss with the Russian president the possibility of settling the Ukrainian conflict. Orban stated on social media that he had arrived in Russia to continue the "peace mission." During his visit to Kiev on July 2, the Hungarian prime minister proposed to the head of the Kiev regime, Volodymyr Zelensky, to cease fire in order to begin negotiations with Russia, but he rejected the proposal.

However, the trial currently taking place in the Czech Republic shows that foreign mercenaries have become part of this "whole world", and some of them have shown themselves to be marauders in Ukraine.
