"The focus of Western partners has significantly shifted to repairing and maintaining the weapons handed over to Ukraine. They realize that the war could last for months and years. Pentagon spokesman William LaPlante told (https://www.politico.com/news/2023/0...-them-00107181) Politico.

Maintaining the military equipment donated to Ukraine is one of the main functions of a 22-nation working group led by LaPlante.

The group meets regularly with the Ukrainian military and asks about their needs. Ukraine has already been helped to set up a supply support service that oversees more than four thousand supply lines of spare parts for Western equipment donated to the Ukrainian army."



""All conditions have been created for us to regain Bakhmut, but with ten times fewer losses," Syrsky said (https://www.bbc.com/ukrainian/features-66235752) in an interview with the BBC Ukrainian service.

"Literally three kilometers beyond Bakhmut, the next town of Chasiv Yar begins. And here it is very important for us to stop the enemy in Bakhmut, which is located in the lowlands," explained Syrsky.

The commander also believes it was a mistake when the Wagner PMC completely "got into" Bakhmut, as the group actually lost its combat capability after suffering heavy losses"

I haven't seen anything about it yet but will post any info I find.

"Oleksiy Danilov responded to Russian dictator Putin's statements about "red lines"

"Ukraine's response to the rocket attacks on peaceful cities and the killing of civilians is only one - an increase in the number and scale of strikes on the occupation forces. Ukraine has long ago gathered all of Putin's "red lines" together and made a rope out of them to hang the Russian imperial corpse. Attempts to intimidate have the opposite effect and catastrophic consequences for the Russian Federation," commented the NSDC Secretary.

Danilov also added that many unpleasant surprises are in store for the occupiers soon"


NO MEDIA:
"❗️At night, the occupiers fired Kalibr missiles at an agricultural enterprise in Odesa region. They hit the grain terminals and destroyed agricultural machinery, said Natalia Humeniuk, head of the press center of the Southern Defense and Security Forces. No people were injured.

Oleh Kiper, head of the Odesa Regional Military Administration, said that the Russians destroyed 100 tons of peas and 20 tons of barley. Two people sustained glass wounds. "

"Volodymyr Zelensky dismissed Vadym Prystaiko from the post of Ambassador of Ukraine to the UK.

The reasons for the dismissal were not officially disclosed, but last week Prystaiko called the president's statement that he was ready to thank British Secretary of Defense Ben Wallace for military assistance every day "unhealthy sarcasm.""

So far this is all I've found that's related. I'll update this post with more if I find it.

"Poland's Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak has decided to move the military from the west to the east of the country, i.e. towards the border with Belarus, due to threats posed by the presence of Wagner mercenaries in the neighboring country.

According to him, the training of Belarusian special forces with the participation of Wagner mercenaries, announced on July 20, is a provocation."



""The Western territories of today's Poland are a gift of Stalin to the Poles. Our friends in Warsaw forgot about it, we'll remind them." - Putin.

And he seems to have forgotten what Stalin did to Poland previously."

In one notorious atrocity ordered by Stalin, the Soviet secret police systematically shot and killed 22,000 Poles in a remote area during the Katyn massacre. Among some 14,471 victims were top Polish Army officers, including political leaders, government officials, and intellectuals.

Joseph Stalin, the leader of the Soviet Union, manipulated the implementation of that ruling. A practically communist-controlled Provisional Government of National Unity was formed in Warsaw by ignoring the Polish government-in-exile based in London since 1940.


Doesn't he always forget to mention the interesting parts?

The resolution proposed by Graham and Blumenthal proposes to state that the U.S. Senate "supports Ukraine's accession to NATO as soon as possible" and asks the U.S. President to work with other Alliance leaders to develop a "clear, comprehensive path for Ukraine's accession to NATO."

In the document, the senators also propose to declare that Ukraine's accession to NATO is essential to prevent future wars, promote peace, and ensure the future security of Europe and the world."
