Medvedev's key task is to keep the topic of nuclear deterrence in the media until Washington signals a readiness to return to constructive dialogue." on the non-deployment of nuclear weapons on the other side's borders."

which has begun to contradict Moscow's position.

Insiders confirm that Medvedev's posts on the social network "X" with threats of using nuclear weapons or striking decision-making centers are pre-agreed with the Security Council Secretariat.

The Kremlin is confident that it will be able to remove Medvedev at any time and disavow him if the situation begins to spiral out of control. In the event of a critical escalation of the conflict, Moscow will openly declare to Washington that Medvedev's words are merely his personal opinion,

An interesting post by the Russian news channel "Z-Insider" regarding Dmitry Medvedev: "Medvedev was ordered to continue his aggressive rhetoric and threats against the United States. According to insiders, this was the most profitable and safest development for Moscow in the Trump situation.

Overall, the situation seems stabilized for now, but this is only a pretense. The Russians are gathering forces and shelling both settlements with KABs and MLRS. They will likely resume their assaults soon. Let's keep our fingers crossed for the boys.

Furthermore, other units of this unit are fighting in the village of Krasnyi Lyman. Further north, near Bilytske, the 110th OMSbr, also belonging to the 51st OVA, is operating. The main Ukrainian defense line is based on a fortified railway embankment (marked in orange on the map).

Yesterday, Muchnoy reported that the Russians had partially entered the industrial zone and are controlling some of the technical buildings and a nearby waste dump. The 9th OMSbr of the 51st OVA is attacking there, but they haven't yet reached the mine.

#Pokrovsk, what's the current situation on the Rodynske-Bilytske line? For several days, trench warfare and mutual fire have been ongoing there, but it's clear that this is only a temporary situation.

So the Russians themselves are clearly stating the goals of Ukrainian airstrikes. And what is the purpose of Russian drone and missile attacks? We can see for ourselves almost daily...

Z-Blogger Yuri Kotenok: "The goal of saturating Kyiv with missiles is to destroy Russian Federation facilities: logistics hubs, social facilities, and the military-industrial complex. The enemy's mission is to annihilate the Russian Federation, deprive it of its sovereignty, and inflict its defeat."

I used Kofman as an example here, many other Western experts put forward theories like his.

This is how they understand war "just to move forward, regardless of the number of victims", they don't have tanks, only people and scooters, so they use that...

they'll actually run out of these vehicles in a few (or maybe a dozen) months. Therefore, they've begun conserving armor and utilizing military personnel and civilian vehicles, as they currently have a satisfactory number.

Since April, they've stopped this practice because they're simply running out of equipment, as I've written about many times. Of course, they still have a relatively large number of MBTs and IFVs, but given the losses they've been suffering so far,

Therefore, making claims like the above quote simply misunderstanding Russian nature. They will always resume frontal attacks because they cannot act otherwise. They've been doing this for about 700 years and won't change.

Please note that from October 2023 to March of this year (i.e., for a year and a half), the Russians constantly renewed armored attacks, ignoring the fact that the Ukrainians frequently destroyed the equipment they were using.

I served in the Polish Army in the 1980s and had contact with Red Army officers,and I know their mentality and understanding of battlefield situations. Therefore, writing that Rus. abandoned the use of armored equipment because the Ukr. had learned to repel their armored attacks is completely false.

"Mechanized assaults are now seen much less frequently. In part because Russian forces are trying to conserve equipment, but also because AFU has long optimized for defeating traditional mechanized attacks which invariably fail with high vehicle losses."

Unfortunately, I have the displeasure of reading "X" because some valuable profiles exist only there. And I'm always surprised by how poorly Western media and Western experts understand Russia. Mr. Kofman's statement, with all due respect, is a prime example.

#Pokrovsk yesterday, Deep Stare confirmed my fears. Keep an eye on the Rodynske-Bilytske line; it's the key to the Pokrovsk-Myrnohrad agglomeration. I'll be reporting on the situation in this sector as I have time.

Russians storming Pokrovsk sector 24/7 despite heavy losses – military Russian forces have stepped up assaults in the Pokrovsk sector this summer, using so-called “meat assault” tactics and suffering heavy personnel losses. — Ukrinform.

I recommend an article in which the officer of the 4th Operational Brigade "Rubizh" Andriy Otchenash talks about the realities of the defense of Pokrovsk.

#Pokrovsk map by Z-Blogger Radov of the Rodynske and Bilytske areas. As you can see, the Russian zone of control and the gray zone are larger than the Deep State, but smaller than the Stor Map. As a reminder, both of these sources are Ukrainian.

Unfortunately, this war, beyond its military dimension, has a much larger propaganda dimension, which is why information hygiene is so crucial, especially that provided by the Russian side.

when several Russians hung a flag on the western outskirts of the city, and a drone filmed the action. It doesn't matter that all these people were eliminated within a few minutes; this allowed the Russian Ministry of National Defense to announce the "liberation" of the city.

Other "cartographers," on the other hand, simply paint a gray color on maps based on a single video. That's why the Russians organize numerous operations to reach certain points and hang flags there, making everyone think the front is moving. This is precisely what happened recently in Chasiv Yar,

A gray zone is, by definition, an area where fighting is ongoing, and the appearance of Russians at a given point, who are then destroyed, does not mean that the gray zone has reached that point. The Deep State understands this very precisely, which is why their maps are closest to reality.

Referring to my post yesterday, comments have appeared expressing surprise at the vast gray zone. And this is where the lack of understanding of the nature of war and its interpretation based on the appearance of Russian forces at a given point comes into play.

And here we don't have to justify ourselves, just work towards it. But... it's easier to justify ourselves (see the list above) and calm down.

This is just an example of tanks. I don't want to add other examples."

Yes, easy. The new German Panther (with four reconnaissance drones on board), even the Leopard 2A8, the South Korean K-2, and the Abrams SEPv4. These are truly modern tanks, packed with state-of-the-art gadgets, not just a rebuilt T-14, which we also couldn't handle.

The topic developed in the chat, and I heard the same thing from people from the hat.

1 - But they are cheap; quantity counts.
2 - Tanks are no longer needed because of drones (it's strange to talk about something that the West also invented, not us).
3 - And which tanks are better? Name them...
