- Ukrainian General Valery Zaluzhny:
The enemy can and should be killed on his territory. Partners are afraid to transfer weapons - we will use our own.
To save my people, why should I ask someone's permission what to do in enemy territory?
Why? Because Putin... will use nuclear weapons? Children who die don't care.

- British Defense Minister Ben Wallace said that his words about Ukraine's gratitude to Western partners were taken out of context, and he himself will continue to support Ukraine for as long as necessary.
My comments on how best to support Ukraine have generated a lot of interest and some misrepresentation.
I spoke about the need for Ukraine to sometimes admit that in many countries and in some parliaments there is not such a strong support as in the UK.
This was not a comment about governments, but about citizens and deputies of the international community.

Europe is still waiting for US consent to train Ukrainian F-16 pilots.

British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace may leave his post this autumn and leave politics entirely.

- VSZH:
Will the allies fight the US over Taiwan? Japan is wary.
Washington and Tokyo are developing plans to protect Taiwan from a possible attack by China, but Japan does not want to send its armed forces.
The American and Japanese military have been developing a plan for the conflict around Taiwan for more than a year, but during the negotiations they could not resolve the main question: will Japan enter the war?
Washington is pushing Tokyo to consider Japanese military involvement in, for example, hunting down Chinese submarines in the Taiwan area, but is not getting any commitment, according to people familiar with the talks.

- The New York Times:
Ukraine forced to change tactics due to heavy losses.
Up to 20% of tanks and armored vehicles were lost by Ukraine at the beginning of the counteroffensive.
The 47th brigade, which received 99 American Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, has already lost 28 vehicles.
One of the soldiers who took part in the breakthrough attempt stated that all the equipment transferred to his unit had been destroyed.
After the first strike, which led to significant losses, the Ukrainian troops slowed down their offensive actions in order to assess the situation and change their strategy.
This made it possible to reduce losses to 10%, but it also affected the intensity of hostilities.
Now the Ukrainian command is trying to change tactics, relying on artillery and missile strikes, but the tactics will not allow the Armed Forces of Ukraine to break through the Russian defenses, which calls into question the prospects for the entire counteroffensive. 
-WP:
Ukraine received less than 15% of equipment for demining territories from the amount requested from partners.
Currently, demining vehicles at the disposal of Ukrainians have become a priority target for Russian troops.
5-16 km of the territory in front of the positions of the Russian Federation are heavily mined.
This significantly hinders the offensive of the Armed Forces and leads to losses of manpower and equipment.
For clearing minefields, sappers work at night in groups of four. 
- UK Secretary of Defense Wallace:
In the coming years after the end of the war, Russia will remain a threat.
Wallace believes that if Putin fails in Ukraine, it will be a serious blow to him.
Despite this, Russia still has significant air and naval forces, and the aggressiveness of the Russian navy is growing.
Wallace claims that Putin has not yet abandoned his intentions and may strike in the next three to four years.
The Minister also does not rule out that Russia may attack allies' submarine communications vital for the transmission of data and energy resources, as well as use tactical nuclear weapons.

I know Zelensky very well and I know Putin very well, even better. And I had a good relationship with both. I'll do the deal in one day. In a day.

- In Moscow, Yury Kokhovets, a participant in a street poll by Radio Liberty, began to be tried: he is accused under an article about "fake" about the army. He faces up to 10 years in prison.
July 6, the Ostankinsky District Court of Moscow began to consider a criminal case about "fakes" about the Russian army against Muscovite Yury Kokhovets. The case was opened after Kokhovets took part in one of Radio Liberty's street polls. The man agreed to answer the questions of the publication in the summer of 2022.
According to the telegram channel SOTA.vision, according to the text of the accusation, the defendant in the poll "expresses a negative attitude towards the SVO" (this is how the Russian authorities call the invasion of Ukraine – ed.), and characterizes the actions of the Russian army as criminal. Thus, the prosecution believes, Kokhovets "spread deliberately false information about the use of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation." Kokhovets, among other things, said that Russia "bombed shopping centers, in Bucha civilians ... the military shot them for no reason at all." For these words, he faces up to 10 years in prison.
The fact that Kokhovets is being checked after his participation in the survey became known in March 2023, now the accused is under house arrest. SOTA reports that during the trial, the man was not behind a glass barrier, as is most often the case with those accused for "fakes", but next to a lawyer.
Because of the absence of witnesses, the assistant prosecutor on July 6 asked to postpone the meeting.
Laws on "discrediting" the Russian army and on "fake" about the Russian army were adopted in Russia a week after the invasion of Ukraine, in March 2022. In essence, they prohibit the media, bloggers and individuals from expressing any opinion about what is happening in Ukraine, if it does not coincide with official Russian propaganda. In particular, such fakes are considered:
information about the massacres of civilians in the city of Bucha near Kiev, information about the bombing of Mariupol and the strike on the drama theater where local residents were hiding, information about any war crimes of the Russian army in Ukraine. In 2022, Russian courts in Russia fined more than four thousand people under the article on "discrediting" the army, totaling more than 150 million rubles. By mid-April 2023, the district courts had already received more than 6.5 thousand protocols – more than in all of 2022.
Articles about "discredit" and "fakes" about the army are also actively used in Russia as a means of pressure on those who oppose the war. Politicians Ilya Yashin and Aleksey Gorinov were convicted under them, and cases were opened against dozens of other anti-war activists.
Radio Liberty has refused to express the Kremlin's point of view since the beginning of the war in Ukraine and continues to defend the principles of independent journalismAnd. For this, the websites of Radio Liberty and its projects, including the Present Time TV channel, were blocked in Russia by Roskomnadzor after the start of the war, just like the websites of a dozen other independent media.
