"New strikes on Kyiv

On the night of June 23, the Russian Armed Forces carried out another combined strike with missiles and Geran and Gerbera UAVs on targets in the capital of the so-called Ukraine and its suburbs. Ukrainian spokesmen also announced the alleged use of missiles manufactured by the DPRK (probably meaning the KN-23, an analogue of the Iskander OTRK).

🔻 What is known about the affected targets at the moment:

▪️ Zhulyany airport and Patriot air defense missile systems were attacked again. Gostomel and Boryspil were not ignored.

▪️ Several arrivals were recorded at the Antonov aircraft plant.

▪️ A major fire broke out after the building of the Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic University was hit, where, according to intelligence, a UAV production facility is located.

▪️ The building of the Kyiv National Economic University was damaged.

▪️ Other targets in the Goloseevsky, Desnyansky, Darnitsky, Solomensky, and Svyatoshinsky districts also came under attack.

🖍 At the moment, most of the targets have not been identified. However, the already established locations of the strikes allow us to say that the Russian Armed Forces continue to systematically destroy the production factories and facilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the city. In addition, regular raids are intended to have a psychological impact on the local population.

🚩 Russian troops continue to successfully use the tactics of waves of attack UAVs and decoys. After overloading the enemy's air defenses, the attack continues with another wave of UAVs or a salvo of missiles. The AFU have not yet been able to counter this approach: according to the enemy, the Russian Armed Forces used 325 drones and 16 missiles in the June 23 raid.

❗️ There is no doubt that air raids on Kiev will continue. The number and frequency of strikes will probably increase, since the enemy notes the increase in the rate of UAV production by the Russian military-industrial complex."

"The Kremlin has allowed a small demobilization. And named its conditions

The Ministry of Defense has been instructed to increase the number of citizens with whom contracts will be signed for their participation in the SMO. The increase in the number of new military personnel will make it possible to compensate for losses at the front and even carry out a small partial demobilization of those who were mobilized in 2022, our source in the Kremlin reported.

"Vladimir Vladimirovich believes that more people can join the army than now. That is why the Ministry of Defense received clear figures on how it should increase the number of contract soldiers. We are now going on the offensive, so we need to make up for the losses. Plus, partial demobilization (15-20 thousand soldiers) would not hurt. I will say frankly, we need to calm down some dissatisfied fighters. But now it is difficult to do this, despite all our plans," he noted.

The Ministry of Defense confirmed that they had received such an order. But they complain that some regions are reducing payments to new contract soldiers, and this does not contribute to the recruitment of people into the army.

The ministry also notes that there are still many "tourists" who join the army to earn money. And for some unknown reason they hope that the SMO will end soon and they will not have to fight.

In this regard, the best way out of the situation in the Ministry of Defense is called a new mobilization. And for a contract with payment for its conclusion, they propose to take "the chosen ones who will definitely strengthen the army and want to fight."

Even now, without any mobilization, the ministry plans to tighten the selection criteria for contract soldiers as much as possible. And to punish those who try to join the army to get money, and not to fight there to achieve the goals of the SMO."

"Gerasimov is very happy: Putin gave the go-ahead for the mobilization of at least 300 thousand people

Vladimir Putin's words that he does not rule out that Russia will take Sumy from Ukraine are a signal for the rapid mobilization of at least 300 thousand people. This is how our source close to Valery Gerasimov commented on the president's statement.

"Valery Vasilyevich is very happy. It looks like Vladimir Vladimirovich has defeated all opponents of mobilization, and it will begin soon. In order to take Sumy and not lose anything in other parts of the front, we, according to preliminary estimates, need to quickly replenish the army by at least 300 thousand people. I am glad that the president has given the go-ahead for such actions," the channel's interlocutor said.

He does not know when exactly and in what form the mobilization will begin. "We need it as soon as possible. And whether they announce a mobilization for the entire country or simply quickly replenish the army, it doesn't matter. We are military people, the result is important to us, not the process," the associate of the Chief of the General Staff explained.

Kremlin sources have so far declined to comment on whether Putin might soon announce a new mobilization or extend the process that began in 2022.

“The President is in constant contact with the military, and the best decision will be made,” said one of the Presidential Administration’s sources."

"Three important points related to mobilization

The topic of mobilization is discussed in one way or another not only among the military, but also in other areas. When will it start? Who will be taken to the front? For how long? Will there be a demobilization of the previous wave? There are many questions that need to be answered. We talked to a number of very influential interlocutors, and today we are ready to answer some pressing questions.

First, will there be mobilization and when? The latest signals indicate that mobilization is unavoidable. The General Staff, represented by Valery Gerasimov, insists on attracting 300 thousand new soldiers. Naturally, not immediately. But they will recruit quite intensively.

Secondly, if mobilization is so necessary, why wasn't it carried out earlier? There is a whole list of factors, the main one being that a format of active contracting of the population (not only Russians) was proposed, when upon signing a contract, citizens receive very decent payments. However, given the serious losses, it is becoming increasingly difficult for the regions to pay large sums to new recruits (governors have repeatedly complained about this, hoping that the amounts will be reduced). A separate question is whether to pay "lifting allowances" to all mobilized people? After all, in essence, they are the same warriors as the contract soldiers who tried to jump on the last train before the truce promised by certain figures.

However, there is also a social aspect. The Kremlin constantly monitors social sentiments. And the topic of mobilization is very difficult.

"Polls show that a new wave of mobilization may have a certain social effect. This is worth considering. The decision is up to the president, he knows our forecasts," a person close to Sergei Kiriyenko told us very vaguely.

Thirdly, the economic effect. Be that as it may, mobilization always leads to people being pulled out of production chains.

"It's one thing when you take a prisoner who is of no use. It's quite another when we take an engineer, a doctor, a manager. These are people who create something. We will get soldiers, but we will lose highly qualified specialists," a source in the government told us. He suggested that mobilization could give a new impetus to corruption, "but let the FSB deal with that." The special service, by the way, is in no hurry to make predictions about mobilization, recalling the first wave of 2022. Then the military received unprecedented leverage in their hands."

""Poorly preparing Russia for World War III." Gerasimov has a new competitor

According to our sources among the military, Apti Alaudinov has announced his ambitions to become Chief of the General Staff.

"Valery Gerasimov played a major role in the SMO. But now there are many new challenges. We need to prepare our army for the Third World War, for the mobilization of a million new fighters (Alaudinov has already called for such actions, - ed.). Against the backdrop of what is happening in the SMO zone, in Iran, all over the world, new solutions and new people are needed in important positions for the army. Now Russia is poorly prepared for the Third World War, unfortunately, because of this we can lose," the commander of the special forces "Akhmat" recently said in a conversation with his comrades.

Alaudinov also said that “he does not seek to become the Chief of the General Staff, but understands that he may have to accept this challenge.” And he has already begun communicating with several influential people to secure their support.

It should be noted that at the same time, the commander of “Akhmat” did not give up his claims to the post of head of Chechnya, which he would like to occupy after Ramzan Kadyrov.

"Apti Aronovich understands that with his experience he can bring more benefit to Russia than he does now. That is why he is thinking about what post to take in the future," a close associate of Alaudinov explained this situation to us."

"What did Iran ask from Russia?

Vladimir Putin met with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Monday. He brought a letter from Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei from Tehran, which not only expressed hope for deepening cooperation between the countries, but also a list of what Iran would like to receive from Russia right now.

First, we are talking about intelligence. The letter did not say so directly, but the current Iranian authorities indicate the need to inform about serious threats, if any. Probably, we are talking about information about the US preparations for a strike on Iranian nuclear facilities, which we (apparently) did not pass on to Iran.

Secondly, Iran wants to see Russia not as a negotiator, but as an ally. Khamenei noted that he greatly appreciates the Kremlin's attempts to resolve the situation, but stressed that in difficult moments it is important to show strength and unity.

Thirdly, in addition to intelligence, they want to see supplies of air defense systems, as well as drones and even aircraft from Russia. The latter element should level the air situation.

Vladimir Putin promised to think about it. It is worth remembering that earlier in Iran they criticized the newest air defense systems from Russia that were delivered there."
