Key Takeaways:

Russia and Iran continue to signal their commitment to deepening bilateral relations and multilateral cooperation.
A detained Russian businessman and a Russian military official who were reportedly connected to detained former Deputy Defense Minister Timur Ivanov recently died on the same day.
Armenian border guards, cooperating with Russian authorities, reportedly detained a Russian citizen in Yerevan, likely as part of a continued Kremlin effort to assert political power over Armenia and challenge Armenia's sovereignty amid deteriorating Russian-Armenian relations.
Ukrainian forces recently regained lost positions near Kupyansk and Svatove, and Russian forces recently advanced near Kreminna, Toretsk and Avdiivka and in the Donetsk-Zaporizhia Oblast border area.
The Russian military continues efforts to improve training capacity.

I believe it may be time to take out the trash
What trash would that be? As of right now, we don't know if the shooter was a radical Leftist, an ISIS- inspired terrorist, a mentally ill lunatic, an agent of a government such as Iran, or motivated by some other reason. Any speculation is inappropriate right now.

Other reports have Peskov adding that Putin does not plan to call Trump.

Peskov on the Assassination Attempt on Trump
"We do not think or believe that the attempt to eliminate presidential candidate Trump was organized by the current administration, but the atmosphere created by this administration during the political struggle, the atmosphere surrounding candidate Trump, is what provoked what America is facing today," said Kremlin spokesman.

Key Takeaways:
Russian officials and milbloggers reiterated complaints about poor security around critical infrastructure in rear areas of Russia in response to a July 13 Ukrainian drone strike against an oil depot near Tsimlyansk, Rostov Oblast.
The Russian military command may have committed under-equipped units initially intended to act as an operational reserve to combat operations, possibly due to constraints on the Russian defense industrial base (DIB) or efforts to reinforce ongoing Russian grinding assaults in Ukraine.
Ukraine signed a series of security agreements and received several aid packages amid and following the July 9-11 NATO summit.
Ukrainian forces recently regained lost positions near Vovchansk, and Russian forces recently advanced near Avdiivka.
Russian State Duma Defense Committee Chairman Andrei Kartapolov reiterated on July 14 that the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) is not planning to demobilize servicemembers that Russia mobilized in Fall 2022 before the end of the war.

Brah, you might be one of the most ill-read people I've ever come across. You almost have no awareness of large swaths of the Western tradition and you can't seem to discern the quality of a source at even a basic level.

They certainly lost some human potential, but these are also people who walked away from their country and their countrymen in a time of crisis, and that’s seen as a social sin. And in their eyes, losing these people is not a loss, it’s addition by subtraction. And they feel the same way about the people who bought one way tickets to Israel. You were never one us were you.
Lol what a bunch of nonsense. This isn't what you want during an ongoing demographic crisis.

As far as recruiting goes, the Russians are getting 30k volunteers a month. They’re not calling up reservists anymore, or using prisoners, because they just don’t need to.

I need to go back and see what the Ukrainian figure is, but if I remember correctly less than one percent of Ukrainian recruits are volunteers
You, without any hint of irony, believe Ukraine has lost 500k soldiers. Even UA Losses puts the verifiable number at 1/10th that total, using the same methods from the BBC/Mediazona articles you like to quote (incorrectly for that matter).
Maybe work on the scale of your claims so that they seem believable.

British Defence Intelligence
INTELLIGENCE UPDATE
UPDATE ON UKRAINE 15 July 2024
From 01 July 2024, Russia implemented an increase in domestic gas prices of 11.2 per cent. This hike is almost certainly intended to increase revenue from Russia's domestic market, in response to the loss of natural gas exports to Europe. This was a consequence of sanctions against Russia for invading Ukraine, as well as Russia intentionally reducing gas supply to Europe in response. In 2023, Gazprom's net annual loss was approximately 629 billion rubles (USD $6.9 billion), its biggest annual loss in 25 years.
Gazprom, one of Russia's state-owned energy companies, is considered to have a monopoly over the domestic gas supply market. Price rises are therefore regulated by the Russian government. This doesn't apply to other producers such as Novatek, which account for a smaller market share.
Inflation in Russia is highly likely to remain above the Central Bank of Russia's target of 4 per cent in the second half of 2024. This is partly due to increases in domestic gas prices alongside other rising household bills and increased government spending - which is mainly driven by Russia's rising defence spending on the war in Ukraine. Gas prices for Russian households are estimated to have increased by nearly 34 per cent since the start of the invasion, despite Russia being the world's second largest producer of natural gas in 2023. These are due to rise a further 8.2 per cent in 2025, which will almost certainly add to inflationary pressures in Russia's economy and weaken spending power for ordinary Russians.

Big time. This graph of enlistment bonuses over time tells the story of the growing Russian struggles to reach enlistment targets.

How any of you continue to support this nonsense and call yourselves American is beyond belief.
You need to figure out that at least 2-3 of the regular posters here aren't American, they are Ukrainian.
And there are also at least 1-2 Russians as well.

Wait, who do you think here is actually Ukrainian?

Me? I wish I could claim Ukrainian ancestry. No one here except the Russians would be ashamed to be Ukrainian.
Anyone who's followed this page since early in the war knows that I've gotten a lot of stuff about Ukraine wrong, just because I've never been there. Since the invasion, there have twice been times when I have actually booked trips to Ukraine, only to be unable to go.
Weewee has many friends in Ukraine, but I don't think that he has Ukrainian ancestry. Maybe LSUCanFan is Ukrainian, as he definitely has real connections, but he certainly isn't a regular poster here.
