Key Takeaways:

• The interplay between ongoing Russian offensive operations in the Chasiv Yar, Toretsk, and Avdiivka directions indicates that the Russian military command may intend to leverage the ongoing Toretsk push to create operational opportunities for advances in either the Chasiv Yar or Avdiivka areas. Russian preparations that can support multiple future branch plans suggest a more developed level of operational planning and foresight than the Russian command has proven capable of executing thus far in the war since early 2022. The ability of this operational planning to come to fruition, however, will be bounded by the overall poor tactical-level capabilities of Russian forces currently fighting in these areas.
• Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban likely used his unannounced visit to Kyiv on July 2 to posture himself as a peacemaker following Hungary's accession to the European Union (EU) Council presidency on July 1, but Orban’s efforts are very unlikely to bring about any robust peace in Ukraine.
• The Kremlin is waging an intensified information campaign aimed at pushing Ukraine to negotiate with Russia on Russian terms, and any Russian, Western, or other efforts to cajole Ukraine to prematurely negotiate with Russia would only weaken Ukraine and embolden further Russian aggression inside and beyond Ukraine.
• Several Russian State Duma deputies proposed a bill that would exclude a significant number of ethnicities from Russia's "compatriots" resettlement program, undermining the Kremlin's efforts to leverage its "compatriots abroad" to offset Russian labor shortages and set informational conditions to justify potential hybrid operations against other countries with Russian and Russian-speaking populations.
• Ukrainian forces struck an ammunition depot at a Russian military base in occupied Crimea on July 1 that reportedly housed Shahed drones.
• Russia may be intensifying its efforts to conduct reconnaissance and disrupt communications in the underwater and air space near NATO states.
• Russian authorities appear to be publicly fixating on crackdowns against fight clubs and restricting the niqab to signal that Russian authorities are adequately combatting terrorist threats in the North Caucasus instead of addressing systemic issues of Islamist extremism in the region.
• Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on July 2 assigning the Russian 999th Air Base in Kant, Kyrgyzstan the "guards" honorific for "mass heroism and bravery."
• Russian forces recently advanced near Vovchansk, Chasiv Yar, Avdiivka, and the Donetsk-Zaporizhia Oblast border area.
• Russia is reportedly recruiting women from Russian penal colonies to fight in Ukraine, and some of these recruits are reportedly fighting on the frontline. . . . .

Ukraine, taking care of business:

“Several businesses were at Canada’s Farm Show to gauge interest in their products and learn how to work in this country

REGINA — The war in Ukraine hasn’t stopped agricultural manufacturers from production and pursuing new markets.
A delegation representing several companies was at Canada’s Farm Show in June.
Taras Lysenko heads Clean Field, a grain bag manufacturer based in the Bucha district near Kiev since 2011.
He said he would like to sell his product, White Bag, in Canada but first has to learn how business is conducted in this country.
“We have a quality product,” he said with help from an interpreter, noting that the bags comprise five layers of film and are used to store grain, corn, sunflower seeds and animal feed.
There was interest at the show but he said many want to buy from a local dealer. He also learned Canadian farmers generally use bags of larger diameters than those preferred in Ukraine. He can accommodate that, he said.”

Yep....Western Canada Farm Progress show.....usually in mid to late June....in Regina,SK. I've been there a few times over the years....it's quite an attraction, manufacturers, vendors from around the world.


I occasionally read the Western Producer online....it's an interesting read.

 

Ukraine manufactures agricultural products and equipment that will work well in the world market.

Thousands of small farms are harder to target than a few big ones.

Key Takeaways:

• Ukraine is addressing its manpower challenges and is forming several new brigades, but delayed and insufficient Western weapons deliveries will likely prevent Ukraine from equipping all these new brigades. Timely and appropriate Western security assistance continues to be crucial determinant of when and at what scale Ukrainian forces can contest the battlefield initiative and conduct operationally significant counteroffensive operations in the future.
• Russian President Vladimir Putin is leveraging existing Eurasian-focused and Russian-led international organizations as the cornerstone for his new proposed alternative "Eurasian security architecture."
• Ukraine conducted a naval drone strike against Russian naval infrastructure in Novorossiysk, Krasnodar Krai on the night of July 3 and reportedly damaged energy infrastructure during an aerial drone strike on Belgorod Oblast on the night of July 1.
• Unspecified People's Republic of China (PRC) and Russian companies are reportedly working together to develop a drone similar to the Iranian-designed Shahed loitering munition for Russia to use in Ukraine.
• Russian forces recently advanced within easternmost Chasiv Yar, in the Toretsk direction, and near Avdiivka, and Ukrainian forces recently advanced within Vovchansk, near Kreminna, and southeast of Chasiv Yar.
• The Kremlin continues efforts to position Russian veterans who have fought in Ukraine in official roles in Russian domestic politics. . .

Another source for the logistics SNAFU. Zelensky has taken a significant political risk to expand the draft and reinforce the front lines. IMO, the West's political class will pay a price for its failure to supply these new troops with what they need to fight.

Or charge him with treason against the Western democracies and imprison him in The Hague for his natural life. Or in his case unnatural life for the evil practice of proPutinism and being a putrid smelling scum turd. Other than that Carson is one great guy.
