British Defence Intelligence
INTELLIGENCE UPDATE
UPDATE ON UKRAINE 30 July 2024
In July 2024, Russian Ground Forces (RGF) maintained continuous attacks in central Donetsk Oblast. The RGF made steady advances westwards, taking control of several villages and moving closer to the logistics hub of Pokrovsk.
The RGF also made advances northwards into the town of Niu York, which has been on the frontline since 2014. The town is almost certainly contested between the RGF and Ukrainian Armed Forces.
It is likely that Russia will continue to make tactical advances in the coming weeks. However, its overall operational capability remains limited by several factors including a high attrition rate, limited training, and a shortage of officers.

Have you gotten to talk to your buds over there? If so, how are they making out?
My former roommate still communicates with me by email when he can. He is still fighting. He and his comrades are tired after 2+ years of fighting. They are also frustrated because the generals are insisting on a static defense to try and defend every village and cm of state owned farmland instead of a more dynamic defense which would in theory reduce their loses. His brother in intelligence is no longer in the propaganda business and so he doesn’t say anything about anything except that he is going to kick my butt for sleeping with his sister when she moved to the USA. I have not heard from the UAF guys I met on the train in months.

I'll bet they are worn out. That's a long time to be doing that, but then again, not really an option to just sit around. Hopefully they can all make it unscathed. Thanks for the update

Not really. I have always said that he was in the propaganda/information business and that what he said was biased and should be taken with a grain of salt. He got promoted and now doesn’t talk about his job. Plus he’s really pissed that I slept with his sister (OT: 8.5; IRL: 9.2; no pics).

Russians who don't tow Putin's line seem to have trouble near windows!

Especially since her report that Russia's economy is basically screwed and saddled with high inflation for years to come. Valentina Bondarenko apparently attempted to fly

ISW Update July 30

Key Takeaways:
Russian forces conducted five platoon- to battalion-sized mechanized assaults in western Donetsk Oblast on July 29 and 30. Such localized mechanized pushes are likely the manifestation of Russia's forecasted summer offensive—Russian forces likely lack the wider operational capacity to mount a separate renewed offensive operation in Donetsk Oblast or elsewhere on the front this summer.
The Russian military command's willingness to accept costly armored vehicle losses without conducting a large-scale, multi-directional offensive operation or making operationally significant advances in western Donetsk Oblast will likely burden the Russian military in the long-term. The ongoing Russian offensive operations are also costly for Ukrainian defenders and are likely meant to degrade Ukrainian capabilities through attrition whether or not they gain much ground.
North Korea may be expanding the volume and variety of weapons it is providing to Russia.
The Kremlin is likely attempting to corral Russian information space actors onto social media sites that the Kremlin can more directly influence to directly control their rhetoric, prompting some backlash from Russian ultranationalist milbloggers and opposition journalists.
Ukrainian forces struck a Russian oil depot in Vozy, Kursk Oblast on the night of July 29 to 30.
The Russian government continues to support educational programs on "information and hybrid warfare" aimed at training Russians to conduct and counter information operations, use open-source research methodology, and to effectively analyze and counter hybrid threats for the Kremlin.
Russian officials and Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) representatives are advocating for the Kremlin to codify a state ideology premised on the idea that the sovereign Ukrainian state should not exist, into Russian federal law.
Russian forces recently advanced near Chasiv Yar and southwest of Donetsk City.
Authorities in St. Petersburg have joined other Russian regional authorities in increasing financial incentives for recruits to sign military service contracts.
UK newspaper The Times published a story on July 29 detailing how Russian authorities are indoctrinating deported Ukrainian children through military-patriotic education programs.

How much time do you think it takes to reply to a comment and read a bunch of low IQ posts like yours, where you get extremely salty about any negative Ukraine news because you have friends there and aren’t objective at all about the conflict?

Ukraine claims to have executed a complex drone attack on a Russian base in Syria.

Hopefully there was some high value equipment there. Seems like a waste to not use those resources at or around the actual front if not
