Since May 2024 western mainstream media preparing public for Ukraine defeat, some mentioned about Ukraine losses, forced mobilisation, inability of NATO to produce enough what Ukraine need and so on.
Today I will highlight latest ones from Military Watch Magazine:
- July 23th 2024 “Iskander-M Strike Kills Around 50 Western Foreign Fighters on Ukrainian Frontlines”
Russian Iskander-M tactical ballistic missile system on June 23 successfully targeted a temporary deployment point for instructors and combatants from Western countries in the disputed Kharkov region, causing approximately 50 deaths. The attack represents one of the latest to have particularly singled out foreign fighters in the conflict. The Russian Defence Ministry reported regarding the strike.

New footage released by the Russian Defence Ministry has confirmed successful strikes using Iskander-M ballistic missile systems to destroy two batteries from a Patriot surface to air missile systems – a scarce U.S.-built asset donated by Washington and many of its European allies. “The Iskander-M operational and tactical missile complex struck the position of Ukraine’s battery of the Patriot anti-aircraft missile complex near the settlement Yuzhnoye in the Odessa region. The strike destroyed two Patriot launchers and a Giraffe radar station,” the Defence Ministry specified regarding the strikes. Although Iskander systems are not specialised air defence suppression assets, footage has repeatedly shown their use with considerable effect to neutralise Ukraine’s top air defence systems the Patriot and S-300, with precision guidance capabilities allowing them to destroy road mobile assets by correcting course during flight.

July 1st 2024 Ukrainian HIMARS Missile Stockpile Destroyed in Russian Airstrike
A Russian air strike on the village of Matveyevka in the Zaporozhye Region successfully destroyed a warehouse with munitions for the HIMARS rocket artillery and missile system. The warehouse reportedly contained both rocket artillery and ATACMS short range ballistic missiles, both of which can be launched by the system. A large convoy of ambulances reportedly headed towards the affected area after the explosion. The targeting of another ammunition and military equipment stockpile was reported shortly afterwards in the nearby Kamennoye settlement. Both strikes were first reported on June 29.
The article also mention that
- Ukrainian forces have increasingly struggled to use precision guided assets against Russian frontline positions due to effective use of electronic warfare to jam their guidance systems,
- a strike on a Crimean beach shortly afterwards that caused significant civilian casualties. Use of these systems has been very heavily facilitated by the presence of American military advisors on the ground and by access to a network of hundreds of NATO satellites which provide targeting data among other roles.

Situation on the ground showing significant Russian progress:
- Geolocation show that Russian took control of Yasnobrodovka
- Pro Russian sources saying that Russian Forces captured Prohres and advancing towards Ivanivka
- Pro Russian sources saying that Russian Forces in Kostiantynivka gained foothold at Tarasa Shevchenka Street.
- The Russian forces have broken through the first line of defence towards Pokrovsk and Toretsk.
- New York – Ukraine reinforcement did not stop Russians advancing slowly inside.
