Ultimatum di Mosca: «Senza garanzie sicurezza dalla NATO, ci sarà risposta militare»

[LupoSciolto°]

Qua non si capisce più niente, comunque penso che la Russia occuperà tutto il Donbass, e fatto quello si fermerà per un po'. E se non mandassimo altre armi, la guerra potrebbe finire così. Ma vogliono a tutti i costi portarla almeno al prossimo inverno, Zelensky l'ha detto, così ci sarà una bella stangata di gas per noi...

La NATO , ancor prima di Zelensky.

President Zelenskyy has acknowledged the loss the Luhansk Oblast saying: "If the commanders of our army withdraw people from certain points at the front, where the enemy has the greatest advantage in firepower, and this also applies to Lysychansk, it means only one thing. That we will return thanks to our tactics, thanks to the increase in the supply of modern weapons." The Ukrainian army said in a statement, about the withdrawal from Lysychansk: "The continuation of the defence of the city would lead to fatal consequences.

The Ukrainian governor of Luhansk Oblast, Serhiy Gaidai, said of Russian forces fighting in Luhansk were: "not taking all their wounded with them". He told Ukrainian TV "The hospitals are full to bursting - as are the morgues," Also saying: "All the forces of the Russian army and reserves have been redirected there ... They are sustaining heavy losses," [634] President Putin has also commented on Russian forces "that took part in active hostilities and achieved success, victory" and "should rest, increase their combat capabilities." [635] According to the Institute for the Study of Warfare Russian forces need to take an operational pause if only due to concern in Russia about the treatment Russian soldiers. However the offensive operations need to be continued. As President Putin has commented “other military formations, including the East Group and the West Group, must carry out their tasks according to the previously approved plans. I hope that everything will happen … in the same way as it has happened in Luhansk,” [636]

6 July

President Zelenskyy has said of Western artillery: "This significantly reduces the offensive potential of the Russian army. The losses of the occupiers will only increase every week, as will the difficulty of supplying them."[639] Russian forces appear to be recruiting veteran soldiers and conscripts more intesively, offering them contracts to serve as professional soldiers in the army for a limited time. In Chechnya, there are reports of people being kidnapped and forced to fight in Ukraine.[640]

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said that: "The idea of punishing a country that has one of the largest nuclear potentials is absurd. And potentially poses a threat to the existence of humanity."[641]

President Zelenskyy has said of Western artillery: "This significantly reduces the offensive potential of the Russian army. The losses of the occupiers will only increase every week, as will the difficulty of supplying them."[641] Russian forces appear to be recruiting veteran soldiers and conscripts more intensely, offering them contracts to serve as professional soldiers in the army for a limited time. In Chechnya, there are reports of people being kidnapped and forced to fight in Ukraine.[642] A report, by IStories, indicated that the brigades hardest hit by the war in Ukraine have started advertising online for soldiers, recruiting unemployed people, sometimes without any training.[643]

It was confirmed by Igor Konashenkov that Russian forces have paused to rest and regain their combat capabilities. Though minor ground offensives, and continous shelling and bombing across Ukraine still continue, the majority of the Russian forces have likely begun to fortify positions and resupply troops for another major offensive in the coming weeks or months.[644]

President Putin said to parliamentary leaders: "Today we hear that they want to defeat us on the battlefield. What can you say, let them try. We have heard many times that the West wants to fight us to the last Ukrainian. This is a tragedy for the Ukrainian people, but it seems that everything is heading towards this. Everyone should know that, by and large, we haven't started anything yet in earnest. At the same time, we don't reject peace talks. But those who reject them should know that the further it goes, the harder it will be for them to negotiate with us."

Mykhailo Podolyak, the Ukrainian chief negotiator, wrote on Twitter in response: "There is no 'collective West' plan. Only a specific z-army which entered sovereign Ukraine, shelling cities and killing civilians. Everything else is a primitive propaganda. That’s why Mr.Putin's mantra of the 'war to the last Ukrainian' is yet another proof of deliberate Russian genocide."[645]
