Putin in shock! Finally Ukraine dealt the Heaviest Blow to Russians last night with US ATACMS!

[Music] [Music] for Welcome to the USS Global YouTube channel Crimea is again the focus of Ukrainian troops this morning the Russians are no longer are able to stand with the damage they have sustained in this region satellites have captured images of large fires in an area suspected of a Ukrainian atacms attack on a Russian controlled space control center in Crimea NASA’s firm’s fire monitoring system took pictures of two separate large fires near the nip 16 space Communications complex in the village of Vino on the west coast of the OCC occupied Peninsula these details come after reports that Ukrainian forces launched multiple us supplied ATMs missiles toward Crimea which Moscow unlawfully annexed in 2014 social media footage shows four Ukrainian m270 rocket launchers firing eight missiles into the night sky shortly afterwards crime and wind shared a separate video suggesting that the space communications center was hit during the ATMs raid since then the Kremlin has blamed the US for the UK’s rumored use of us supplied ticms missiles at least four people were killed and 15 151 injured in the attack Kremlin spokesman Dimitri pesov posed a question to journalists you should ask my colleagues in Europe and above all their press secretaries in Washington why their governments are killing Russian children according to Russian officials at least two children were killed in an attack on sasta pole last weekend footage shows people fleeing from a beach near sevastopol with some of the Wounded being carried on sun loungers Kiev has not commented on the attack but denies allegations that it targeted civilians US ambassador Lynn Tracy was summoned by the Russian foreign Ministry and told that Washington was waiting ing a hybrid war against Russia and had in fact become a party to the conflict the ministry added the following retaliatory measures will certainly be applied Tracy cited State Department spokesman Matthew Miller statement to the press that the United States is providing weapons to Ukraine for the defense of its Sovereign territory including Crimea while expressing regret over any civilian casualties pentagon spokesman major Charlie deetz made it clear that Ukraine makes its own targeting decisions and conducts its own military operations after all this Fierce fighting continued the Ukrainian Defense Forces detected and destroyed two Russian pancer S1 air defense systems in the belgorod region Spartan soldiers of the third emergency response Brigade of the Ukrainian National Guard showed the damaged systems the army issued a statement as follows after that Russian combat Vehicles were shot down and disabled the first panser S1 Sam was discovered in an area between the city of belgorod and the village of dubov the pansier S1 system was on constant duty at this point and did not change its position as evidenced by the tracks of the vehicle the second air defense system was discovered by reconnaissance drones near borisova us M14 to high Mars rocket systems probably hit both systems the destruction of pancier S1 in the belgrod region allows Ukrainian forces to more effectively deter Russian aggression in the KV region panser S1 was used to shoot down reconnaissance drones and gmlrs shells launched from himars such a defeat forces the Russian command to withdraw other systems to safer areas reducing the effectiveness of the overall air defense in this sector as already mentioned this possibility was made possible by the US allowing the Ukrainian military to use American weapons on Russian territory after all this fighters of the main intelligence directorate CH R of the Ukrainian defense Ministry struck a field Ammunition Depot of the Russian army in the ovka district of the vores region the operation was carried out by fighters of the hu active operations Department during the night a fire broke out in the ammunition storage facilities on a total area of 3,500 square m and the fire has not yet been extinguished the statement said a total of 75 clashes between the Ukrainian armed forces and the Russian occupation troops were subsequently recorded with the situation being the most tense in the puck axis the general staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine issued the following statement since the beginning of the day the Russian occupiers have been most active on the pokrov axis the total number of clashes on the entire front line has increased to 75 at the same time extremely intensive Russian offensive efforts are being observed in Lyman the chromator axes as well as the torit axes are resp responding sharply to the enemy’s offensive and offensive movements destroying their equipment and infantry settlements in the Sumi and chern Regions near the border are under constant fire from Russian territory for example from the coma moloya and sukka districts the enemy opened fire on pavka and from starosel the Invaders opened fire on pivka in the aftermath the international Criminal Court ICC issued arrest warrants for former Russian defense minister Sergey shoyu and chief of the general staff General Valeri gasimov the charges against shyu and gasimov include war crimes and crimes against humanity with particular reference to inhumane acts supporting the arrest warrants the judges said there was substantial evidence to suggest that the suspects intentionally caused ukrainians civilians great suffering or Serious injury to their bodies or mental or physical health the ICC said the arrest warrants issued earlier in the week were based on reasonable grounds to believe that the individuals in question were responsible for missile strikes carried out by Russian Armed Forces against Ukrainian electricity infrastructure from October 10th 2022 until at least March 9 during this period the Russian military allegedly carried out numerous attacks on power plants and substations across Ukraine resulting in widespread civilian casualties and infrastructure damage this is the third instance in which the global court has sought arrest warrants against senior Russian leaders for their involvement in attacks on civilian Targets in Ukraine the Russian military led by shyu and gasimov is accused of launching wave after wave of missile and drone attacks on Ukraine killing thousands and causing severe damage to the country’s Energy Systems and other critical infrastructure Moscow has consistently claimed that its targets were military installations despite frequent civilian casualties the IC emphasized that the missile strikes targeted civilian areas however immediate Detention of shyu and gasimov is unlikely as Russia is not a member of the ICC does not recognize its jurisdiction and refuses to hand over suspects previously the IC issued an arrest warrant accusing Russian President Vladimir Putin of personal responsibility for the Abduction of children from Ukraine in March this year the court also issued arrest warrants against two senior Russian Military Officers on charges related to attacks on civilian infrastructure in Ukraine which are considered part of State Poli policy shyu 69 was seen as a key figure in Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine on February 24th 2022 initially expected to quickly subdue Ukraine The Invasion instead fostered a strong Ukrainian defense that dealt significant blows to Russian forces Putin replaced shyu as defense minister in May his Deputy timour Ivanov and other senior officers were arrested on corruption charges and numerous defense Ministry officials were dismissed shyu retained an important position as Secretary of the Russian Security Council gasimov 68 who has served as chief of the general staff since 2012 continues to oversee Russian military operations in Ukraine and remains in office amid turmoil after all this eyes turned back to Crimea Ukraine’s Military Intelligence Chief said Kiev could use us supplied longrange weapons to Target the bridge linking Crimea to Russia the Kirch Bridge has a four-lane road and a double track Railway and connects Russia’s krasnodar region to the peninsula that Vladimir Putin illegally annexed in 2014 the bridge has been an important Supply route for Russia throughout the war initiated by Putin Ukraine has had successes in Striking the 12mile bridge with a strike on July 17th 2023 destroying parts of both the road and rail sections of the bridge in October 2022 part of it was blown up by an improvised explosive device with a force equivalent to 10 tons of TNT the Russian newspaper commercant reported Lieutenant General Kyo budanov chief of Ukraine’s main intelligence directorate G you are said in an interview that an attack on the bridge using atacms Army tactical missile system missiles could completely cut the connection with Russia those who claim that attack mes is not powerful enough to destroy the bridge should read the technical manuals budanov said Washington’s policy on Ukraine’s use of us supplied weapons allows Kiev to strike anywhere in Russian occupied Ukraine analysts said this would likely include the long range ATMs that hit part of the Kirch Bridge within Ukraine’s borders the Washington DC Think Tank said the destruction of the bridge would mean that Russian forces would have to use the long route along the northern coast of the Sea of azov and Ukrainian forces could also use that route in May the KE based op Source intelligence agency mulfar said its analysis of last year’s maxar satellite imagery showed that Russia was rerouting military supplies no Russian freight trains carrying military equipment were detected traveling on the railway section of the bridge in March and April 2024 in February only one freight train crossed the bridge although it was not clear whether it was carrying any military equipment artm stoek CEO and founder of mulfar told news week in May that the sbu helped block Russian military transportation across the bridge artam Stasek continued his statement as follows it was a great job done by the sbu but now we have other problems because Russia is going through the occupied cities like mariupol berans and is building a railroad line there which they will use instead of the bridge stosik added that hitting the bridge still carries an important symbolic meaning budanov rejected claims that Putin would use nuclear weapons if Crimea was threatened saying we don’t have many military units for which such nuclear weapons would be appropriate he also added that such a move would lead to huge political risks for Putin elsewhere in the interview budanov said that Western military aid would not reach Ukraine in sufficient quantities to change the situation on the front line until at least mid to late July he said armed deliveries were happening faster than a few months ago because of artillery shells from the US and Europe but there is a problem of volume later in the day Vladimir Putin complained that no one would help Russia in its war against Ukraine addressing military personnel gathered in St George’s Hall in the grand Kremlin Palace the Russian president said his country can only rely on ourselves in his speech filmed by state television and broadcast on telegram he spoke of the need for a stable economy in Russia to support the defense Ministry Putin stated the following everyone is counting they are counting salaries they are counting new equipment and placing orders this is very important this is a foundation in this sense we can only rely on ourselves nobody will come and give us a hand everyone will do it themselves we can do it too Putin’s comments came after he signed an agreement with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un promising Mutual military assistance in the event of an attack on Russia or North Korea the agreement states that the other side will provide military and other assistance without delay by all means at its disposal after all this there was another important development the Pentagon reported that defense secretary Lloyd j Austin III spoke by phone with Russia’s new defense minister Andre beluso on Tuesday a rare meeting between the Biden Administration and Moscow it was the first phone call between the two men since Mr balov an economist replaced Sergey K shoyu Russia’s long serving defense minister in May amid a reshuffle in the Kremlin Major General Patrick S Ryder a pentagon press secretary said Mr Austin stressed the importance of maintaining lines of communication during Russia’s ongoing war against Ukraine General Ryder said Mr Austin initiated Tuesday’s call and believes it is important to keep the lines of communication open the lack of communication between senior Russian military and defense officials and their American counterparts has fed fears at the Pentagon of the risk of miscalculate Mr Austin and Mr beloof exchanged views on the situation around Ukraine the Russian defense Ministry said in a statement it added that Mr belluso pointed to the danger of further escalation of the situation in connection with the continued supply of American weapons to the Ukrainian Armed Forces meanwhile Mark Ruta longtime prime minister of the Netherlands was officially appointed today as NATO’s new Secretary General putting at the head of the alliance an experienced leader known for his pro-ukrainian and proc conciliation credentials Ruta 57 will take over from Yen stoltenberg on October 1st at a difficult time for nato in the face of Russia’s war against Ukraine and in the midst of a tight race for the US Presidency that could lead to the nomination of Donald J Trump the decision signed by NATO ambassadors at a meeting at the 32 Nation alliances headquarters in Brussels takes a potentially contentious issue off the agenda at the alliance’s 75th Anniversary Summit in Washington next month Mr rut called the appointment a tremendous honor and said he looked forward to taking up the post with great enthusiasm Mr Ruta continued the alliance is and Will Remain the Cornerstone of our collective security leading this organization is a responsibility I do not take lightly President Biden and his NATO counterparts will officially welcome Mr rut to their table at the summit which starts on 9 July Mr Ruda Mr Biden’s longtime favorite for the Post has served as prime minister of the Netherlands four times over nearly 14 years building complex coalitions through debate and compromise these skills would serve him well in an aliany that operates on consensus where one country can thwart the intentions of auths by turning down Mr Biden’s previous request that he seek a job at NATO at least once Mr Ruta forced the alliance to extend Mr stoltenberg’s mandate for another year Mr Ruta now serving as interim prime minister before the new Dutch government is sworn in is known as a hardworking but gentle boss a man of habit the son of a car salesman he has lived in the same modest house with the same furniture for the past 30 years Caroline deger European correspondent for the Dutch newspaper NRC handles blood wrote that he rents the same house every summer with family members and spends a few days in New York every year staying with the same friend in the same modest hotel in Chinatown he is also known for bicycling to work a habit that may have to change because his new job will require him to endure significantly increased security measures wherever he goes he will also have to give up a weekly social studies class he has taught for years at a high school in the haue Mr rut will take over from NATO which is scrambling to find a way to reassure Ukraine of its long-term commitment to its security at a time when Ukraine is facing increasing Russian pressure after more than 2 years of war allies also worry that Mr Trump who is openly hostile to Nato and some of its leaders could win back the presidency despite Mr rut getting along well with Mr Trump while in office speaking at the Munich security conference in February Mr Root told Europeans to stop whining bitching and moaning about Trump and instead act in their own interests by strengthening their armies and producing more Munitions for Ukraine the Americans will decide on the next president Mr rut was the favorite of NATO’s biggest countries but he needed unanimity he clinched the Secretary General post by agreeing to abide by the compromise reached last week between Mr stoltenberg and Hungarian prime minister Victor Orban the illiberal Democracy that Mr Orban has embraced in Hungary has been a source of tension for years among the European Union’s longest serving leaders including Mr rutta Mr rut assured Mr Orban who is close to Russian President Vladimir fth Putin and believes Ukraine should negotiate a deal with Moscow that no Hungarian Personnel would be involved in NATO missions to support Ukraine and no Hungarian funds would be used Slovakia another skeptic agreed to support Mr Ruta and the last obstacle was removed when the Romanian president dropped his bid to lead the alliance Mr rut’s view of the Kremlin was deeply affected by the Downing of Malaysia Airlines flight mh17 over Ukraine in 20146 Dutch people were among the 298 killed by a Russian anti-aircraft missile supplied by the Russian military to separatist forces in September 2022 7 months after the Russian invasion of Ukraine Mr routa told Mr Putin at the United Nations if we do not stop him now he will not stop in Ukraine this war is bigger than Ukraine itself it is about upholding the rule of international law he described Mr Putin as hard-hearted ruthless ruthless under Mr Ruta the Netherlands has increased its military spending to more than the 2% of gross domestic product demanded by NATO members providing Kiev with F-16 fighter jets artillery drones and ammunition while investing more in its own military known in the Netherlands as the Teflon brand for his ability to create e compromises and Dodge challenges he will see his skills put to the test in his new role especially since the job of NATO Secretary General is to protect rather than lead a large and diverse Alliance in the wake of all this Ukraine has been in the spotlight with an intriguing claim Ukraine claims that Russia had one of its deadliest days on the battlefield yesterday after losing 1300 of its soldiers in just 24 hours according to the Ukrainian defense Ministry the latest death toll will bring the total death toll to over half a million the total losses of the Russian army in Ukraine are said to be around 535,000 60 in addition to the 1300 military personnel claimed Russian forces have lost 12 tanks 15 armored combat Vehicles 51 artillery systems and 27 drones this makes it one of the most disastrous days for the Russian military since the War Began in February 2022 the death toll Falls only slightly short of the one-day record of 1 ,40 casualties recorded on May 12th the shocking death toll raises questions for Vladimir Putin and his Kremlin Entourage about the human cost of the Ukrainian War dozens of soldiers have repeatedly complained that the Russian army is relying on mincing tactics this means using large numbers of available troops in an overwhelming War of Attrition the tactic seems to be gaining ground according to Ukrainian Ministry estimates Russia has lost almost the same number of soldiers in the last 3 days 3,680 as in the first month of the war 3900 this comes a week after an anamed Nat official told Ukraine’s European Prav a newspaper during a NATO meeting that Russia was suffering astronomical losses as it tried to advance in karv oblast officials commented as follows in May Russia probably suffered about 1,000 casualties a day which is quite astronomical Russian forces have advanced less than 10 kilm into Ukrainian territory since the car of offensive was launched on May 10th the Ukrainian defense Ministry also publishes daily estimates of the financial cost of Russia’s Invasion the report shows that the country has spent a total of 49.3 billion on the conflict in Ukraine since February 2022 despite the enormous losses a US Army General suggested last week that the Russian army has grown not shrunk during the war in Ukraine US Army General Christopher cavoli NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander Europe told the house armed services committee the Army is actually 15% larger now than when it invaded Ukraine Russia is on track to command and the largest army in its history he said the increased numbers were due to Russia raising the age of conscription from 27 to 30 in the wake of all this the European Union and Ukraine have begun accession talks a process that could take years and which Russia has historically tried to block the talks come a decade after Russian troops seized the Crimean Peninsula to prevent Ukraine from engaging with the West accession negotiations began during intergovernmental conference in Luxembourg Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro Atlantic integration Olga stephanina is leading the Ukrainian delegation prime minister of Ukraine Dennis schmal said at the start of the talks today marks the beginning of a new chapter in relations between Ukraine and the European Union Ukrainian President Vladimir zalinski posted on the social media site X after the EU agreed to the negotiations our people are realizing the European dream of generations Ukraine is returning to Europe Moldova is expected to start EU accession negotiations later today the candidate Country Must align its laws and standards with EU policy on issues such as the movement of goods environmental concerns and security all 27 member states must agree to join the EU Hungary has histor torically been an obstacle to EU and NATO support for Ukraine Janos boka hungary’s minister of European Affairs said we are at the beginning of the screening process it is very difficult to say at what stage Ukraine is from what I see here at the moment they are far from meeting the accession criteria if granted membership status Ukraine will overtake France as the largest member of the Block in terms of territory its status as the world’s largest grain producer will also affect the eu’s agricultural policy although a milestone the negotiations could take years to conclude formal negotiations are unlikely to start in a few months turkey has been holding inconclusive accession negotiations for almost two decades other countries waiting include Albania Bosnia and herova Georgia Montenegro North Macedonia and Serbia Ukraine wants membership by 2030 but must first complete dozens of institutional and legal reforms there was another important development in the following hours the EU ambassador to Ukraine Katarina mova said that Ukraine should recognize that EU enlargement will only happen with the consent of all member states and that each country can delay or block certain decisions ma NOA continued we need to accept the fact that the enlar largement of the EU is unanimous that each member state has the possibility to postpone or block certain steps and I think other existing candidate countries can tell you that you know Ukraine ma NOA is not the first and probably not the last country where this will happen and you have to be patient and persistent to deal with it according to her in the case of Ukraine there are bilateral problems with one country and the best advice in this situation is interacting talking discussing debating and seeking solutions to overcome possible differences since the EU enlargement process is organized in such a way that unanimous agreement is reached at every stage there is no magic formula for solving problems other than discussions negotiations Outreach diplomacy Etc as reported negotiations on Ukraine’s accession to the European Union were launched at the first intergovernmental conference in Luxembourg on June 25th thank you for following us
