⚡️ Russian Defence Ministry report on the progress of the special military operation in Ukraine (July 1, 2022)

▫️ The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continue successful offensive near Lisichansk. Over the past three days, Russian units have taken under control the Lisichansk oil refinery, the Matrosskaya coal mine, the Gelatine plant and the settlement of Topolevka. The allied forces have reached Lisichansk.

▪️ Ukrainian army is suffering big losses in this area. Only in Verkhnekamenka, over the past 24 hours, the enemy has lost more than 120 persons dead, as well as 70 in Verkhnekamenskoye.

▫️ The failures of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) at the combat area provoke an increase of the number of cases of desertion and evading to be involved in operations. There is an unorganised withdrawal of certain AFU units from Lisichansk.

▪️ The command conceals the facts of understaffing of units in every way possible. One of the battalions of 17th Tank Brigade that operates near Novaya Poltavka (Donetsk People's Republic) is left with less than 20% of personnel from the authorised strength.

▫️ At the same time, the Kiev regime has found the 'culprits' for military failures of the AFU at another pocket in Donbass. The second unit of the State Investigative Bureau of Ukraine in Kramatorsk has initiated criminal proceedings against the commanders and 171 servicemen of 42nd Battalion from 57th Mechanised Infantry Brigade that had been defending in Gorskoye.

▪️ These servicemen were detained and taken to the temporary detention facility in Kramatorsk.

❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Situation on the Nikolaevsko-Krivoy Rog direction as of 13.00 on 1 July 2022 by @rybar:

▪️ The AFU command expects an offensive by the RF Armed Forces from the areas of Davydov Brod and Snigirevka.

▪️ Two Bayraktar UAVs from Kanatovo airfield monitored Russian troop movements from the Novoivanivka and Apostolovo areas.

▪️ AFU artillery units carried out strikes on Russian Armed Forces positions in the areas of Lozovoye, Belogorka, Bruskinskoye, Davydov Brod, Novovoznesenskoye, and Pravdino.

▪️ In turn, the Russian Armed Forces carried out strikes against AFU concentrations in Bashtanka, Pervomaisky, Shevchenko, Liman, Staraya Bogdanovka, Shiroky, Bereznevatoe, Potemkino, Kiselevka, Tavriisky and Nikolaev.

▪️ At least two AN/TPQ-37 radars are operational in the Pribugsky and Novoalexandrovka areas to conduct counter-battery warfare.

🔻 The situation in the Nikolaevsko-Krivoy Rog direction remains the same. The sides are engaged in artillery duels along the entire front line, expecting an offensive from both one side and the other.

The Ukrainian side, despite belligerent statements about its readiness for an active phase in this zone, does not have sufficient resources at the moment. There is a shortage of shells in artillery units. If there are no supplies, the current ammunition will be used up in less than 15 days.

A quarter of Americans are ready to take up arms against the government, writes The Guardian.

The survey of 1,000 registered voters in the United States also shows that the majority of Americans agree that the government is "corrupt and rigged," the publication points out.

"The evidence suggests that extreme polarization in U.S. politics and its impact on Americans' relationships with each other remains strong."

❗️POW exchange. More detailed info by Denis Pushilin 🔻

MOSCOW, July 1. /TASS/. Thirty-seven members of Ukrainian nationalist battalions uninvolved in war crimes were handed over to Ukraine in a swap of prisoners-of-war (POWs), Head of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) Denis Pushilin said on Friday.

"We have representatives of nationalist battalions. This swap included those with no evidence from eye-witnesses or their fellow servicemen that they had committed the crimes incompatible with the logic of the exchange. Yes, 37 such servicemen were included in this list of 144. This was a required and forced condition and we also set terms in this swap. For Ukraine, this is a hyped event as it is important for them to get at least someone [from nationalist battalions] out of captivity," Pushilin said in a live broadcast on Television Channel One.

Only those members of nationalist battalions were handed over to the Ukrainian side who surely won’t be able to fight again owing to severe injuries they had received in combat, Pushilin said.

"Those representatives of nationalist battalions who will be unable to join the troops due to bodily injuries. These are those who have no arms, legs and have injuries incompatible with the normal way of life to say nothing about the fact that they won’t be able to join the troops," he said.

The Ukrainian servicemen charged with committing war crimes are not swapped, Pushilin stressed.

"A detailed and thorough probe into all participants in Ukrainian armed formations is being carried out. Those who have now been pressed with charges and transferred to the category of persons kept in custody in another place are not subject to the prisoner swap," the DPR head said.

The Ukrainian authorities handed over 49 militia fighters to the Donetsk People’s Republic in the prisoner swap, Pushilin said.

"Yesterday, we talked about 47 of our boys from the DPR but we found two more boys as part of this swap of 144. The latter two were not immediately handed over to us but now there are already 49 boys from the DPR and most of them are mobilized servicemen," Pushilin said, stressing that 95% of them had been tortured in captivity.

DPR Head Pushilin announced on June 29 that the Donetsk People’s Republic and the Kiev regime had carried out a POW swap, with each side returning 144 fighters, in the first exchange of captives between the DPR and Ukraine since the beginning of the special military operation. He added that the captured Ukrainian POWs handed over to the Kiev regime included privates of nationalist battalions who were in a poor health condition.

As Russian Defense Ministry Spokesman Lieutenant-General Igor Konashenkov reported on June 30, the prisoner swap was implemented on an instruction from Russia’s supreme commander-in-chief.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 A huge queue in Kherson for pensions paid in rubles.

Calls from Kiev "not to take Russian money" remained ignored.

The transition to the ruble zone is taking place as quickly as it happened in the DPR and LPR after the decision to switch to rubles was made.

Ukraine's decisions to block certain economic ties or renounce certain social obligations to the residents of the Kherson region only accelerate this transition (tested in Crimea and Donbass).

❗️WARNING for our Partner Channels, I don´t know if they follow @rybar

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Pro-Russian Telegram channels have been sneering for the second day at the video (https://t.iss.one/sewerfsefsd/2360) attributed to the "Freedom of Russia" legion, a virtual unit of the AFU, which we wrote about in detail earlier (https://t.iss.one/rybar/30782).

But for some reason none of the admins paid attention to the fact that the video is a hatchet fake.
...
It is not known exactly when the footage was taken, but it shows two amateur teams just playing strikeball or something similar. It is not known who and for what purpose superimposed the logo of the Russian Freedom Legion over the video.

But the authors of Telegram channels should check the published content more carefully.

❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Situation in the Severodonetsk-Lysychansk direction as of 20:30 on July 1, 2022 by @rybar:

The situation for the AFU units in Lysychansk and the suburbs is deteriorating. The ring of encirclement is tightening.

▪️ The RF Armed Forces and the LMNR, developing an offensive from the direction of Pryvolya, have occupied Shipilovka and entered the outskirts of Novodruzhsk.

Apparently, the last road to Lysychansk from the direction of Belogorovka was intercepted in the area of Shipilovka. There is no tight control of the entire area yet, so the encircled AFU units may still try to leave the city at night in small groups.

▪️ In the south of Lysychansk, the gelatin factory and the Matrosov mine settlement were taken. Allied troops have reached the high-rise development from the west. Fighting is going on.

Units of the AFU and foreign mercenaries who have not had time to retreat from the city will have to choose between captivity or destruction in the coming days.
