⚓ Soldiers from the 35th Marine Brigade shared a video from the area of liberated Staromayorske

🇷🇺 Katsaps were running away, but they could not escape. Now they will go back to their swamps as KIA's.

👨‍🚒 The State Emergency Service of Ukraine discovered and defused over 415 thousand enemy explosive devices

🗣The service reports this on its official social media pages.

📐In total, 917 square kilometers of territory were cleared. This is only 0.5% of the mined area.

😞The servicemen emphasize that decades of demining work lie ahead. After all, Ukraine is the most mined country in the world, ahead of Afghanistan and Syria.

🇦🇺Australia plans to establish guided missile production for MLRS by 2025

🤝These plans were announced during a meeting of the Minister of Defense with his American counterpart, Lloyd Austin.

🚀 Such decisions are driven by the experience of the war in Ukraine, when it turned out that the western countries' warehouses were poorly prepared for prolonged combat actions and tend to run out. The USA is trying to adjust the security situation by expanding the industrial base and upgrading what's already available.

🔄 The opening of a factory in Australia will allow the country to meet its own needs for ammunition, as well as plans to open exports to the USA and other countries. The modernization of airbases in northern Australia, which have outdated infrastructure, was also discussed during the visit.

🦘The Australian continent is geopolitically important in terms of the USA and China's confrontation, so its security is one of the priorities of the American government.

🇷🇴Romania plans to increase the throughput capacity of the Danube grain route - Bloomberg

🗣"We are in close contact with Ukraine to identify the best options for increasing and speeding up this transit (grain transit)... The security situation, of course, is complex, but we are very committed to continuing to help Ukraine," said Romanian Foreign Minister Luminita Odobescu.

🔧Specifically, Romania has modernized and restored the closed rail link with Ukraine and is working on attracting additional staff to guide ships through the Sulina Canal to Ukrainian ports on the river. According to the country's Ministry of Transport, the port of Sulina even recorded a traffic record in May: over 470 ships passed through it.

📊According to an official responsible for pilotage, as early as next month, the number of pilots on the river canal in Romania will gradually begin to increase to 60 from the current 40, which will help increase the canal's throughput capacity by 50%.

🇧🇬Bulgaria is also ready to join the transit of Ukrainian grain if Greek ports can handle it - this was announced by Bulgarian Prime Minister Nikolay Denkov after a visit to Athens.

🇳🇪The head of the presidential guard, Abdurahaman Chiani, has declared himself the new leader of Niger

📺In his televised address, Chiani condemned widespread corruption, poor governance, management of Niger's security, and the previous government's inability to eliminate terrorist groups, leading to thousands of Nigerien deaths.

🗣"The current approach to security has not secured our country, despite the great sacrifices made by Nigeriens, and the valuable support from our external partners," said Chiani. He added that Niger would continue to respect its international partnership relations. In a separate statement, the spokesman for the junta, Colonel Amadu Abdraman, warned against any attempts at foreign intervention.

🤷‍♂️Western politicians "strongly condemned" the coup:

🟠EU Foreign Affairs Representative Josep Borrell stated that any breach of the constitutional order would have consequences for cooperation between the EU and Niger, including the immediate suspension of all budgetary support.

🟠The UN Security Council called for the release of President Mohamed Bazoum:

💭"Members of the UN Security Council expressed concern about the negative consequences of unconstitutional changes of power in the region, increasing terrorist activity, and the difficult socio-economic situation," the Security Council statement said.

🫠Ironically, in 2021, Chiani's forces stopped a coup attempt when a military unit tried to seize the presidential palace 48 hours before the ousted President Bazoum's inauguration.

🇺🇸In early June, the Pentagon approved a deal to purchase 400-500 Starlink terminals for Ukraine, the settings of which will be in the hands of the US, not Elon Musk — The New York Times

👥This came as a solution to the situation where Elon Musk does not want his technology to be used for military purposes, such as for strikes on Crimea.

🚢 Starlink is used in the management of Ukrainian surface drones MAGURA V5, which were recently publicly presented at an exhibition in Turkey and have a range of 800 kilometers.

🧐Their existence has been known since last fall, especially after the loud attack on the Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol Bay on October 29. After which, Elon Musk declined Ukraine's request to provide a Starlink signal near Crimea to prevent Ukrainian attacks on the Russian fleet. Recall also the peaceful plan presented by Musk, with the idea to abandon the occupied territories and continue to "live peacefully". That same fall, SpaceX partially stopped covering the cost of Starlink, as it had done before, transferring all costs to the US Department of Defense, and also raising the subnoscription fee from $60 to $75.

📞As the publication writes, the issue of the importance of Starlink was discussed during a phone conversation between General Zaluzhny and Mark Milley in March of this year.

💸 The solution was found in June when Lloyd Austin approved the Pentagon's decision to purchase 400-500 terminals and access to settings, with which the US will be able to provide a signal where needed to perform "certain missions". This will also help the US and other allies to be independent in communication from Musk, if such a need arises.

📍Staromayorske. Footage of the remains of russian military equipment in the village

⚔️ The battles for the settlement were long and hard. Despite numerous empty statements about the liberation of the village, the defensive forces were gnawing into the village day by day for weeks. Despite the occupation of the heights by the Armed Forces and the unfavorable position of the katsaps being in the lowland, the latter did not leave the village for a long time. Reserves were constantly pulled up, neither human resources nor equipment were spared, the latter of which can be seen in the video. Our artillery worked intensively every day, making a significant contribution to the liberation.

🇺🇦 It was recently reported about the liberation of the village. Fighters are consolidating and preparing to liberate the next settlements. Russians continue to pull up reserves in the vicinity, supporting with constant artillery strikes. We are monitoring the situation.

1/2 Situation on the frontlines as of the end of the day on July 30th, 2023

▶️ On the Belarusian, Siverskyi and Bilhorod directions — no changes.

▶️ On the Svatove direction — despite two katsap statements during the week about success near Synkivka, neither of them correspond to reality. The front there has not changed. Stabilization measures west of Karmazynivka have finally borne fruit. Rangers have been involved to overcome chaos in the area, skillfully handling the situation. The enemy was not allowed to entrench not only near Nadiya, but also in the village itself. As a result of the fighting in Novoyehorivka, the enemy presumably remained only in the eastern part of the village. Thus, as of July 30, 2023, the enemy has full control only over Serhiivka f course, the enemy uses much larger forces in the Serebryansk Forestry, but there are no significant successes there.

▶️ On the Bakhmut direction — despite the statement of Western military analysts, who of course know better what is happening at the front than the military themselves, about the transition to full control of the village of Klishchiivka on July 25, the fighting in the village is still ongoing. Significant enemy reserves are concentrated in the northern part and the outskirts of the village. Fights are taking place near Andriivka and Kurdyumivka. Even though Akhmat tea TikTokers are shooting videos of how they are running away, this does not make it any easier for our troops. With the help of artillery, katsap continues to hold onto every forest belt.

▶️ On the Avdiivka direction — periodically, katsaps attack from the Kruta Balka towards Avdiivka, but this does not cause changes in the line of contact. The Armed Forces of Ukraine had partial success near Nevelske. In Marinka, the fighting for the western part of the city continues, but no significant changes have been recorded.

▶️ On the Berdyansk direction — after the liberation of Staromayorske, military actions take place along the line: Pryiutne, cascade of reservoirs, Zavitne Bazhannya, the northern outskirts of Urozhayne. Over two months, Urozhayne has become a salient for the enemy with a shaky position on the eastern flank. These factors complicate further defense of the village, despite the large number of fortifications in the village itself. The de-occupation of this village will be a matter of time. It's worth asking insiders who liberated Urozhayne in June about the progress of de-occupation.

2/2 Situation on the frontlines as of the end of the day on July 30th, 2023

▶️ On the Zaporizhzhia direction — there are now enough frames of the mass attack of the 116th Mechanized Brigade which was directed between Robotyne and Verbove. Unfortunately, there are frames both with our prisoners and with lost equipment. The enemy managed to retake part of the positions, the rest of the situation is either unknown or at a stalemate. The failure of actions on the flanks separated us from success. Many people ask why Robotyne in particular. The deeper the front, the less concentration of minefields. If the Defense Forces stop for a couple of months now, we will have the same situation as we had in June. It should also be noted that the russians are once again actively using propaganda, manipulating the frames, and often showing the same places from different angles. We all need to be very careful in perceiving and analyzing this information.

▶️ On the Tavria direction — no changes. Clashes are taking place on the islands of the Dnipro.

🗂 Analytical note. On the Svatove direction of the front, we can finally talk about the stabilization of the front with further displacement of the enemy to the initial positions. The situation near Bakhmut has not undergone significant changes, as is the case with the rest of the front sections. Despite the small changes, the number of battles and losses on both sides is significant.

🦜 While some experts, who in their old age suddenly became national military analysts, who are incapable of properly analyzing information, and only read the headlines, measure the lost positions in "parrots", we remind you that this represents the sweat and blood of the Defense Forces' fighters. Some find it very amusing to talk about "parrots", without possessing the information, when the f***ers' artillery fires at the evacuation point near Karmazynivka. And a separate greeting to journalists who disseminate information without understanding it, even from russian sources.

🫡 We want to acknowledge the professionalism and self-sacrifice of the guys from the 🐻 68th Jaeger Brigade and the fighters of the 🛡 State Border Guard Service. We also note the first successes and resilience of the newly formed 43rd and 44th Mechanized Brigades.
