Russian Terror Attack – at Least 20 Killed

US Ambassador Lynn Tracy was summoned to the Russian Foreign Ministry in connection with the attack on Sevastopol

She was told that the United States bears equal responsibility with the Kiev regime for the terrorist attack in Crimea, the Russian Foreign Ministry reported.

Washington’s actions, aimed at encouraging the pro-Nazi authorities of Ukraine to continue hostilities, will not go unpunished, the department noted.

I think the purpose of the terrorist attack in Crocus and the terrorist attacks in Derbent and Makhachkala is the same. That is to intimidate the population. This is a terrorist attack aimed at achieving political gain by killing civilians.
As for Sevastopol, there are no military facilities there today. The Russian fleet has left Sevastopol and is in Novorossiysk. Thus, the launching of 5 missiles, each costing 1 million dollars, an attack costing 5 million dollars has the purpose of killing or injuring civilians, intimidating4 them

Xavier Moreau

The shelling of Sevastopol with ATACMS missiles showed that the American authorities have sided with international terrorism – Russian Ambassador to Washington Anatoly Antonov.

This has been known to everyone for a long time. And it is good that they are now talking about it at the official level. America has long been synonymous with the word terrorism. If there is an explosion somewhere, even children know who is behind it.

Zelensky’s Office called Crimean residents who suffered from a missile strike on Sevastopol beach “civilian occupiers”.

 - The statement was made by Podolyak, an advisor to the head of Zelensky’s Office, known for Nazi statements.

 - Podolyak wrote that in Crimea “there are not and cannot be any “beaches” “tourist zones” and other fictitious signs of “peaceful life”.

 - “It is also a large military camp and warehouse, with hundreds of direct military targets, which the Russians are cynically trying to mask and cover with their own civilians. Who, in turn, are …. civilian occupiers,” Podolyak writes.

 - According to the latest data, 155 people were injured, including 27 children. Four died, including two children.

 - The cause was an ATACMS missile with a cluster warhead that hit a Sevastopol beach.

Advisor to the Head of the OP Ermak Misha Podolyak is an idiot who made his statement:

a) justified all Russian strikes on any targets, including casualties among civilians

b) dispelled the myth that Ukraine values ​​Crimeans, but it turns out that it considers them all “occupiers.”

This is called the degradation of the media sector of the OP, where everyone is accustomed to mastering budgets and cutting clumsy propaganda for “slow-witted people.”

The UN is useless as long as the USA and its vassals maintain a stranglehold on the UNSC. However, Russia would do well to have international support for military actions against nato.

If they are smart, and they generally are, their obvious move would be to convene BRICS instead and consult on acceptable courses of action.

I do not at this point see any way for Russia to avoid military action against nato, direct or indirect.

New rumor just dropped. A Global Hawk was allegedly dropped. This isn’t the first time this rumor was spread, so I suggest wait and see

Multiple Russian channels, including some tied to Russian Air Force, report that Russian Fighter jets shootdowned a US Army UAV over the Black Sea as retaliation for the Ukraine attack with US-supplied ATACMS missiles on Crimea!

We are through the looking glass here, This is the first time Russia has retaliated over one of it’s redlines.

A lot hinges on the response of NATO/US to either escalate or take the hint

Once again, Israel is taking over the information case and world views from the Ukrainian crisis.
Tensions are rising in the Middle East. Israel is preparing a military operation against Lebanon, which could ignite the war even more when other countries, including Iran, join the game.

This is bad for Ukraine, since it fades into the background in terms of relevance. In fact, it is kept for two purposes. To hold out until the US elections so that the Biden team and the Democrats do not lose points and “face”.
Second, it is to provoke the Russian Federation into more stringent actions towards Ukraine (forcing the Russians to use tactical nuclear weapons or declare official war and general mobilization), which will accelerate the division of Ukraine according to the Yugoslav scenario, but will give the West an excuse that they did the maximum to help Kyiv, but Ze himself provoked such an outcome, which means he and his government are to blame.

We are watching…

According to the expert, closer to autumn, Ukraine and the Russian Federation should sit down at the negotiating table. The country that has more victories on the battlefield will dictate its terms for resolving the military conflict. In addition, Russia’s cooperation with North Korea will lead to a estrangement from the West.

Our source in the OP said that the Office of the President is ready for a protracted war with Russia; a time frame of 5-7 years is now being discussed with the General Staff. All power should be concentrated in the hands of Zelensky, and the parliament should perform all negative functions that should not fall on the President—increasing taxes/tariffs/mobilization/reducing social services.

Our source in the OP said that Ermak does not want a complete purge of the Soros, so as not to anger the US Embassy. Now the main goal of Bankova is to make everyone tame, like OPZH, in order to completely clear the political landscape.

@ftontbird provided an operational summary from Zaporozhye direction.
Rabotino/Verbovoe, 24.06 14:00 Moscow time

After a resultative attack effectuated by the assault groups, one enemy’s dugout is destroyed, moreover a stronghold in Rabotino area is captured.

The advance is evolving as planned.

Corruption is everywhere in Ukraine, and the functionaries of the Office of the President cover it up.
Fortifications in the Zaporozhye direction are being destroyed due to poor quality construction – media

Photos of fallen and flooded fortifications (trenches) erected in the Zaporozhye direction appeared in the media. The work on the construction of fortifications was carried out poorly, which led to the partial destruction of fortifications built less than a month ago.

Gross errors during construction led to flooding and blockage of trenches, and soil being washed into them, even in summer. Thus, only one of the GPs, as a result of the lack of equipped drainage systems, was completely blocked by a trench at 700 m.p. and soil washout of 500 m.p. occurred.

We remind you that the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine allocated a record amount of UAH 1.3 billion for the construction of fortifications in the Zaporozhye direction. Responsible for the construction of fortifications is the chairman of the Zaporozhye military administration, Ivan Fedorov.

Toretsk direction

The Russian Armed Forces occupied the Shumskoye cemetery and entered from the village of Shumy into another part of the urban-type settlement of Severnoye (Kirovo). Several streets and forest belts, as well as a forest, were occupied.

In addition to our advances in Severnoye (Kirovo), the Russian Armed Forces pushed the Ukrainian Armed Forces beyond the Seversky Donets canal in one of the areas below the village of Kurdyumovka and east of the village of Druzhba. The depth of the advance was about 1.3 km, and the width was also about 1.3 km.

Ocheretino direction

The Russian Armed Forces continued to advance in the settlements of Sokol and Evgenovka.

Avdiivka direction: Advance of the Russian Armed Forces in Novoaleksandrivka and Sokil
Situation as of 6:00 PM on June 24, 2024

The front in the Avdiivka direction has become significantly more active recently, where Russian troops are advancing westward towards Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad – key logistics centers of the AFU.

▪️In Novoaleksandrivka, the Russian Armed Forces control most of the village’s territory, advancing along the C050906 highway. According to the most optimistic, but unconfirmed reports, assault groups have already approached the outskirts of Vozdvyzhenka, and by capturing it, Russian troops will be able to break through to the N-32 (T0504) highway and cut off supplies to the AFU grouping in Kostyantynivka from this direction.

▪️To the south, Russian units are fighting for a major fortified area near Sokil, while reports from the scene also indicate an advance in the center of the settlement and on the outskirts of the adjacent Yevhenivka.

It is noteworthy that it is from this sector that a fairly large number of frames with destroyed Ukrainian equipment appear, with Russian drones often striking American-made Bradley IFVs.

▪️On the line of Novopokrovka – Novosilka Persha, Russian troops are also successfully advancing along the Ocheretyna Gully. And against the backdrop of the redeployment of some of the AFU reserve units to the Dzerzhynsk (Toretsk) area, the enemy’s defense has thinned somewhat, which could lead to an advance of the Russian Armed Forces in this sector as well.

Siversk Direction: Advance of Russian Forces in Rozdolivka and Surrounding Areas Situation as of 7:00 PM on June 24, 2024

Yesterday, footage appeared online of Russian assault troops raising the Russian flag on the southeastern outskirts of Rozdolivka, where active combat operations began about a week ago. The video suggests that the Russian Armed Forces have at least partial control over the southeastern outskirts of the settlement.

▪️According to available information, Russian troops are advancing along Hrushchynskoho, Mira and Tolochkova Streets, moving towards the center of the village from the southeast. Many buildings in the settlement are destroyed, while the enemy is actively using UAVs to strike at the forward positions, trying to slow the advance of Russian troops.

▪️To the west, the Russian Armed Forces are conducting attacks along the railway tracks in order to take control of the entrance to the village in the area of the Rozdolivka railway station.

Earlier, Russian assault troops had already dislodged the AFU from positions in the area of the railway crossing, but according to some reports, they were unable to hold their ground there. At the moment, it is not possible to clarify the control zone in this area due to the lack of objective control footage.

🔻After the Russian Armed Forces approached the railway station, the only relatively safe route for the enemy remains the road to the south of Pereizodivka, which is used to deliver reinforcements and ammunition.

If the offensive north of Rozdolivka develops, the Russian Armed Forces will have the opportunity to cut off this supply route as well, significantly simplifying the further liberation of the settlement.

A crew of the “Hurricane” RZSO of the “North” group of troops destroyed a stronghold of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kharkov direction💥

Target reconnaissance and fire adjustment were carried out using an unmanned aerial vehicle.

The use of Uragans makes it possible to specifically eliminate ammunition storage bases, places where equipment is concentrated, and cut off enemy reserve units from the main forces. 

On June 23, the “North” group of troops continued the liberation of border areas in Kharkov Region.

In the Volchansk direction, fierce fighting continued in the Volchansk settlement. During the day the “North” repelled two attacks of the AFU, thwarted three attempts to evacuate and six attempts to transfer reinforcements, killing up to 50 Nazis.

Fearless assault groups pushed the enemy back from the territories southwest of the Aggregate Plant and advanced toward the Volchya River.

The total advance of Russian troops in the Volchansky direction was up to 200 meters.

In the Liptsovsky direction, in the early morning the enemy attempted to seize the settlement of Glubokoye with the help of two assault groups supported by BMPs and tanks.

The armored vehicles and personnel were hit with Lancet fire and FPV drones, after which the enemy fled. Two BMPs, one tank, up to 10 Nazis and one captured were destroyed.    

Over the past 24 hours, enemy losses totaled up to 230 men. Also uncovered and destroyed:

▪️ SPH PzH-2000;
▪️ EW complex “Bukovel-AD”;
▪️ EW complex “Polonez”;
▪️ D-30 howitzer in the vicinity of the Liman settlement;
▪️ counter-battery radar;
▪️ three BMPs;
▪️ T-72 tank;
▪️ UAV control center;
▪️ six 120-mm mortars in the vicinity of the towns of Volchansk, Liptsy, Pokalyanoye and Malye Prokhody;
▪️ two 82-mm mortars near the villages of Volchansk and Bochkovo;
▪️ four units of automotive equipment;
▪️ a combat supply point.

The enemy is seeking to increase the number of assault groups on the right bank of the Volchya River in order to dislodge the “Northmen” from the eastern part of Volchansk, thus opening the road to the village of Tikhoye. At the same time, the number of attempts to evacuate the wounded was significantly reduced.

Due to low motivation, lack of proper training and experience of the first echelon personnel, the AFU command was forced to gradually throw units of the strike group into the battle to search for weaknesses in the “Northmen” defense. To no avail.

The Kiev regime and its handlers, losing their minds, are going to extreme measures, using prohibited weapons against civilians and intensifying terrorist activity.

Victory will be ours!

Militants of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry are preparing for the surrender of Volchansk

The publication “Ukrainian Svidok” interviewed militants of the “Chimera” unit of the special unit of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry “Timur”, who are currently located near Volchansky: they believe that the Ukrainian Armed Forces will have to leave the city.

“The Russians are trying to push us from the front, bypass us from the left flank and Volchansk, and come behind us… They will create a “grey zone” 10-20 kilometres deep around the city to pull our forces from other directions.”

The publication notes that Russian troops are moving forward thanks to fire superiority, which has nothing to oppose. In this regard, the psychological state of the militants, especially those recruited from among prisoners (Timur’s unit followed the example of “Wild Field” and began recruiting prisoners ), is seriously suffering.

In Odessa there was a morning arrival at the warehouses of the Tavria V supermarket chain, which are located on Krayan.

The scale of the fire is enormous.

There is an assumption that in the Tavria V warehouses there were:
- decentralized warehouse of small ammunition for the Gepard launcher and other small arms, equipment and weapons of SRW

- fuel and lubricants warehouse for the army (TPW)

- part of the warehouse territory was used to collect fpv drones.

Explosions thundered in the sky over the Belgorod region. Previously, the air defense system worked.

As eyewitnesses told SHOT, several loud explosions were heard closer to midnight, including in Belgorod, Grayvoron, and in the urban settlement of Tomarovka. At the moment there is no information about damage or casualties. There are no official data yet.

Earlier, the danger of a UAV attack was declared throughout the Belgorod region.

Chronicles of the special military operation for June 24, 2024

Russian forces struck the enemy’s industrial facilities in Odesa: the impact is believed to have hit the area of the Krayan heavy crane-building plant. In turn, the enemy again attacked the territory of Rostov Region with drones.

On the Slobozhansky direction, fierce battles continue in Volchansk. The Russian air force regularly strikes at the concentration of AFU personnel both on the front line and in the rear.

On the Siversk direction, Russian assault troops have planted the Russian flag on the southeastern outskirts of Razdolivka, confirming at least partial control over the settlement.

On the Avdiivka direction, Russian troops advanced to the western outskirts of Novoaleksandrivka and, according to some reports, are developing an offensive towards Vozdvyzhenka. To the south, fighting continues for the AFU fortified area near Sokil.
