Starting tomorrow, border guards will not allow men without military registration documents to leave Ukraine - Demchenko

Starting July 17, 2024, men aged 18 to 60 will not be allowed to leave Ukraine without a military ID.

This was announced during a telethon by the spokesperson for the State Border Guard Service, Andrii Demchenko.

"Starting tomorrow, at 00:00, at checkpoints when citizens leave Ukraine, we will start checking the availability of military registration documents for men aged 18 to 60. This applies to all male citizens of Ukraine aged 18-60," the SBGS spokesman emphasized.

If a man does not have such a document, he will be denied crossing the border.

At the border, citizens can provide documents in any format - in the book form or a temporary military ID card, or it can be an electronic document. To do this, a QR code must be generated in Reserve+ so that border guards can read it.

Demchenko added that if border guards have any doubts about the data contained in the document or doubts about the authenticity of the document, the SBGS will check the information in the Oberih system. Source: https://censor.net/en/n3499981

Isn't it amazing how a little country like Ukraine with a little army and with a huge number of lost soldier KIA or WIA *, can resist the mighty Russia and have done so in the last 2½ year.

* Some friends believe it is Ukraine who is losing 12-1500 men per day.

I completely agree. They have had material help to be sure but they are the ones who have actually fought the war and they would not be resisting the Russian bear for so long if they were being forced to fight like some claim. The average Ukrainian has a strong sense of national identity and he is willing to fight and die to preserve what he considers to be his homeland. You have to admire that.

Ukraine and Russia plan large prisoner exchange today mediated by UAE - Bloomberg

Between Ukraine and Russia, a prisoner exchange is being prepared under an agreement facilitated by the United Arab Emirates. This deal is expected to secure the release of 90 Ukrainians captured by Russian forces, according to Bloomberg.

It is reported that the exchange is set to take place on Wednesday morning.

According to Bloomberg's source familiar with the matter, Ukraine and Russia intend to exchange a total of 180 prisoners.

This will mark the sixth exchange this year facilitated by the United Arab Emirates, a Gulf state.

It is also noted that each side planned to release 90 prisoners, if the agreement is fulfilled, sources who wished to remain unnamed told the western edition.

"The exchange would bring the total number of prisoners exchanged under UAE mediation this year to almost 1,400," Bloomberg writes.

Earlier, it was reported by the Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War (KSHPPV) that over 400 Ukrainian women are currently held in Russian captivity. Many of them are unlawfully detained civilians.

On June 25, Ukraine conducted another exchange of prisoners of war with Russia, bringing home 90 defenders. Then, on the evening of June 28, they successfully repatriated the deputy head of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar people, Nariman Dzhelal, who was captured in 2021.

Additionally, nine more Ukrainians were returned, including two priests, facilitated by Vatican mediation.

It should be noted that on July 10, Dmytro Lubinets, Authorized Representative of the Verkhovna Rada on Human Rights, announced that Ukraine, with the support of the UAE, plans a large-scale exchange with Russia, which will include the return of female prisoners of war.

It never went good for the Russian army

“My brigade lost a sh*tload of people. Around 12,000. Officially 6,000 but in reality it’s 12,000.”

Russia reduced to using WWI, WWII tactics in Ukraine, officer says tank crews are now used for meat grinder infantry attacks. Putin wants results, and the wannabee Stalin doesn't care how many Russians die to achieve his fantasies.

Greece to transfer 32 decommissioned F-16s to Ukraine

According to diplomatic sources, Greece is preparing to significantly boost its military support for Ukraine. The country plans to transfer 32 decommissioned F-16 fighter jets. According to Konstantinos Filis, a professor of international relations who directs the Institute of Global Affairs at the American College of Greece, the decision follows a narrowly avoided incident on 6 March, when a Russian missile struck near Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis in Odesa.

Konstantinos Filis said that this was a deliberate message from Russia. “It was a message to Greece, a message to the Russophilic portion of Greek society,” Filis told Al Jazeera.

The incident has further galvanized Greek support for Ukraine. Public opinion in Greece has shifted dramatically, with favorable views of Russia dropping from 70% before the war to just 30% last year. Greece has consistently supported Ukraine since the war’s onset. Days after the invasion began, the country sent two C-130 planeloads of military equipment to Ukraine. This early support prompted criticism from the Russian embassy in Athens, which called on Greek politicians to “come to their senses” and “stop anti-Russian propaganda.”

During these two years of Russian war against Ukraine, Greece has supplied Ukraine with artillery shells, Stinger missiles, and armored personnel carriers. A diplomatic source told Al Jazeera, “In theory, we could offer antiaircraft guns and S-300 air defence systems.” The same source indicated that Greece and Ukraine are currently negotiating a 10-year assistance agreement. https://euromaidanpress.com/2024/07/...6s-to-ukraine/

Netherlands says it will give F-16 jets to Ukraine "in the near future"

Ruben Brekelmans, Dutch Defence Minister, has stated that F-16 fighter jets from the Netherlands will arrive in Ukraine "in the near future".

The official stated that the F-16s will come shortly and that the Netherlands is working hard to make this happen as soon as possible. However, he did not provide any details. He also did not specify how many fighters will be transferred in the near future, "because this is also valuable information for Russia". According to Brekelmans, all arms transfers should be safe and reliable.

"The argument is not that I don't want to inform the public; rather, I want to inform everyone as much as possible. However, we know that the F-16 is also a target for Russia, and sharing data, such as the exact day and time, will be extremely significant intelligence to the Russian leadership. And we don't want them to be more informed than they are now.

I believe that what Ukrainian pilots are doing now is just fantastic. Dutch pilots typically require many years, sometimes more than five years, to learn the F-16, which is a complex system. Ukrainian pilots now complete it in a year and a half. So this is just fantastic." https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2024/07/17/7466186/

Born to be sceptic: Colonel Reisner. And again I think: he probably is right.

Ukrainians pay for their hesitation of Western governments and Biden with their lives. There still are silly and way too many restrictions in place .


A few days ago it became known that the Ukrianaisn ahd to give up their bridgehead on the left side of the Djenpr near Cherson that they took and stubbornly held nine months ago or so. It wa sof course for propagandsistrc reaosn only anyway, but it seems they are runnign so low on forces that they cannot afford theatre stunts like this anymore.
