🫡"This is not a show that the whole world is watching and making bets <...> Every day, every meter is paid with blood..", - Valeriy Zaluzhnyi in an interview with the Washington Post

👷 The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine gave an interview to the WP, where he noted that he is "annoyed" by statements of Western politicians about the slow progress of the Ukrainian counteroffensive, and also emphasized that there is not enough equipment provided, but there are results - even if it's an advance of 500 meters.

💭"Without full provision, these plans are generally unfeasible. But they are being implemented. Yes, perhaps not as quickly as observers and show participants would like, but that's their problem," said Mr. Valeriy.

🇺🇸In particular, the general noted that he maintains constant contact with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the United States, Mark Milley, and discusses with him the situation on the battlefield.

🗣"We have an agreement: 24/7, we're in touch. So sometimes I can call and say: "If I don't get 100,000 rounds in a week, 1,000 people will die". Put yourself in my shoes...", WP quotes Zaluzhnyi.

✈️ Valeriy Fedorovych noted that F-16 aircraft will arrive at best no earlier than the fall and expressed disappointment about the lack of air superiority.

💭"No one is saying that we have to rearm tomorrow and get 120 planes. Why? I don't need 120 planes. I'm not going to threaten the whole world. A very limited number is enough. But they are needed. Because there is no other way. Because the enemy uses another generation of aviation. It's like we're now going on an offensive with bows and arrows, and everyone would say, "Are you crazy?". But with this issue: "No, no"".

☢️ The commander-in-chief also stated that the use of nuclear weapons will not make Ukrainians surrender.

✍️"It doesn't stop me at all. We are doing our job. All these signals are somehow coming from outside: "Fear the nuclear strike". Well, what, to surrender?"

Situation on the frontlines as of the end of the day on June 30th, 2023

▶️ On the Belarusian, Siverskyi and Bilhorod directions — no changes. Katsaps shelled the border areas in Sumy and Chernihiv regions.

▶️ On the Svatove direction — the enemy continues local offensive actions in Serebryansk forestry. Results unknown. In the area of Tavilzhanka, our artillery is striking at the enemy. Near Kuzemivka, katsaps have already attacked our positions near the railway and consistently cover Novoselivske with artillery. Holding the Bilohorivka salient is becoming a very difficult task, as there are many shots of hits on our equipment and potential strong points, both near the village itself and in the industrial zone online. If positions are lost in Serebryansk forestry, our positions in Bilohorivka (L) may turn into a shooting range.

▶️ On the Bakhmut direction — katsaps are trying to bring up reserves to prevent our advancement in Berkhivka and Yahidne. West of height 233.3, the Defense Forces had significant success. In fact, the battles for 215.7 and 233.3 will be decisive for consolidating the success of our forces, which have been gnawing positions meter by meter from the f***ers for the past months. Shots of our forces trying to attack east of Druzhba have appeared, but the result is unknown.

▶️ On the Avdiivka direction — katsaps continue to attack along the Krasnohorivka-Kruta Balka line. The intensity of enemy attacks has been steady and the Armed Forces are holding them back beyond human endurance. South of Vuhledar, our artillery struck at enemy positions near the reservoir.

▶️ On the Berdyansk direction — no changes. Only some combat contact line clarifications.

▶️ On the Zaporizhzhia direction — battles continue north of Robotyne.

▶️ On the Tavria direction — no changes. Katsaps continue to level Dachi to the ground. Besides artillery and aviation, Dachi is also being hit with missiles. The exact situation at the bridgehead is unknown.

🗂 Analytical note. Over the past day, the Defense Forces have had success on the Bakhmut direction. In recent days, there has been a noticeable increase in shelling from both our side and the katsap side. The liberated territories near Kurdyumivka have been clarified. From the end of March through May, the fighters of the 28th Mechanized Brigade were able to achieve success there, but due to the information silence regime, we only now received permission to publish changes.

🇺🇸First reaction to Zaluzhny's interview has surfaced

🔫Mark Milley, Chairman of the United States Joint Chiefs of Staff, speaking at the National Press Club, commented on the counteroffensive, generally agreeing with Valeriy Zaluzhnyi's points.

💬"Is the counteroffensive moving slower than computers or other people might have said? Yes. I said it would take six, eight, ten weeks. It will be very hard. It will be very long and it will be very, very bloody. And no one should have any illusions about this. Ukraine is fighting for its life. This is an existential struggle for Ukraine".

👷The American general compared this to the familiar to Americans Normandy landing, when plans on paper had a march to Paris, and in reality it turned out to be a bloody gnawing of each meter. He also said that he was not surprised by the slow progress, as these are the realities of combat operations:

💬"Listen, war on paper and real war differ," Milley said. "In a real war, real people die. On the front line — real people. In cars real people. Real bodies are shredded by powerful explosives and so on and so forth".

🤔It's of course a positive signal to hear words of understanding from generals of this level, but it would also be good to hear decisions on transferring planes to Ukraine and increasing the supply of weapons.

The f***ers are actively working with artillery and "Grad". We've dispersed, we're holding the ground. Nobody has abandoned us. Our artillery is working on them. Specifically, the situation here is basically a stalemate. But the bank of the Dnipro is large, there are enough bridgeheads for everyone."

🗂 Analytical note. No significant changes were recorded during the day. The enemy is trying to increase its firepower and pull up reserves to problematic directions for him: south and Bakhmut.
