Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, July 29, 2025

Excerpts:

Kremlin officials decisively rejected US President Donald Trump's new deadline for Russia to negotiate an end to its war against Ukraine and reiterated Moscow's interest in continuing the war. Russian Security Council Deputy Chairperson Dmitry Medvedev claimed on his English-language X (formerly Twitter) account that Trump cannot dictate the timing of peace negotiations and that negotiations will end when Russia has achieved all of its war objectives - likely referring to Russia's original war aims, including regime change in Ukraine, changes to NATO's open-door policy, and the reduction of Ukraine's military such that it cannot defend itself.

Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov similarly claimed that Russia will continue its war against Ukraine in order to protect Russia's interests, despite Trump's July 28 announcement of the new 10- or 12-day deadline.

Peskov claimed that there is currently a slowdown in the process to normalize Russian-American relations, that the Kremlin remains interested in normalization, and that progress will require “impulses” from both sides.

Peskov claimed that the current state of Russian-American relations is hindering the process of negotiating an extension of the New START Treaty.

The Kremlin previously dangled the prospect of incentives that were unrelated to the war in Ukraine, such as bilateral arms control talks and economic projects, in order to extract concessions from the United States about the war in Ukraine.

Peskov’s statements about the deterioration of Russian-American relations and New START are likely part of efforts to compel Trump to renounce his deadline for the sake of normalizing bilateral relations and pursuing increased cooperation.

ISW continues to assess that the Kremlin is uninterested in negotiations to end the war and is instead trying to protract the war in Ukraine in order to make additional gains on the battlefield.

👀 Russian artillerymen complain about the extremely low quality of Russian-made shells.

❗️And also about being transferred to infantry due to "bad shooting", which occurs precisely because of poor-quality shells.

In Russia, Soldiers’ Wives Are Urged to Give Birth to Children Who Might Never Meet Their Fathers

Angelina Trefilova  |  10 hours ago



A pregnant woman poses in front of a street installation set up for Victory Day.

“Hello, my name is Eva! Today is my birthday! And my dad is a hero, but I will never meet him,” reads a message, written on behalf of a newborn baby, that was published by the To Be a Mom movement in Russia’s Samara region.

Eva’s father was killed in the war against Ukraine.

To Be a Mom is one of a growing number of initiatives across Russia that are encouraging the pregnant wives of soldiers to carry their pregnancies to term, even as the fathers might never return from the front.

They are emerging as Russian authorities tighten restrictions on abortion and urge women to have more children, part of a broader push to address the country’s demographic crisis and promote the Kremlin’s vision of “traditional family values.”

The Russian government has stepped up its support for military families in the fourth year of its full-scale war on Ukraine. In 2025 alone, the Presidential Grants Foundation spent about 16 million rubles ($195,000) on projects related to soldiers’ wives, The Moscow Times has calculated.

This spring, To Be a Mom received nearly 3 million rubles ($38,000) from the Presidential Grants Foundation for its Za lyubov (“For Love”) program, which supports the pregnant wives of soldiers.  .  .  .

Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, July 30, 2025

Excerpts:

US President Donald Trump specified a deadline of no later than August 8 for Russian President Vladimir Putin to engage in meaningful negotiations for an end to Russia's war against Ukraine ...

Trump announced on July 30 that the United States will impose a 25 percent tariff and unspecified additional economic penalties on India due to India's continued purchases of Russian military equipment and energy since the start of Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine ... India also continued to procure and commission Russian-built military equipment until late 2024 and likely seeks to reduce but not eliminate its reliance on Russia for military equipment.

India notably purchased five S-400 air defense systems from Russia in September 2018, but Russia reportedly delayed the delivery of these systems in March 2024 until 2026 to support Russia's own war effort. Russia also leverages its relationship with India to access critical electronic components and machinery for the Russian defense industrial base ...

Kremlin officials continued to posture economic strength in response to US President Donald Trump's proposed economic measures targeting Russia and rejected Trump's efforts to end the war in Ukraine. Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov claimed in response to Trump's July 29 statements that the Russian economy has been operating under sanctions for “quite some time” and has developed “immunity” to further sanctions - effectively dismissing Trump ... Trump emphasized on July 30, for example, that the PRC is one of the largest buyers of Russian energy exports.

Russian Federation Council Chairperson Valentina Matviyenko claimed that Russia's war in Ukraine can only end after the elimination of the war's “root causes” - a common Kremlin reference to NATO expansion and Ukraine's alleged discrimination against Russian-speakers ...

The Russian Presidential Administration reportedly issued guidance to Russian state and pro-Kremlin media outlets and commentators to promote narratives aimed at weakening the United States-European Union (EU) alliance ...

The Kremlin continues to promote an informal state ideology centered on Russian nationalism that Russia may intend to use in justification of a protracted war in Ukraine and a future conflict against NATO ... Russian President Vladimir Putin and other Kremlin officials have repeatedly lauded the mythos of Russian history, including of the Russian Empire and the Second World War (referred to in Russia as the Great Patriotic War) to call for a return to Russia's strong traditional values based on Russia's “1,000-year-old statehood” and unity within Russian society.

The Kremlin has also used this mythos and ideology in an effort to persuade the Russian population that their increasingly social and economic sacrifices for Russia's war in Ukraine will result in Russia's victory.

Russian forces continue to systematically violate the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), to which it is a signatory ... The Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) reported on July 30 that it has documented over 10,000 instances of Russian forces using ammunition equipped with chemical agents ... ISW has observed reports that Russian forces have coated Shahed-type drones in poisonous substances, likely as part of the Kremlin's efforts to inflict greater casualties on Ukrainian civilians.

Seems that Trump has finally had enough out of Russia...

Trump Takes Putin's Attack Dog to the Woodshed Over War Threats to the US and Gets More War Threats

https://redstate.com/streiff/2025/07/31/trump-takes-putins-attack-dog-to-the-woodshed-over-war-threats-to-the-us-n2192296

Quote
Medvedev seems to be Putin's principal attack dog on the Ukraine War and tries to play bad cop to Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov's drink-addled good cop. This is not to say that when Lavrov isn't self-medicating, he can be harsh, because he can. However, he is essentially the stereotypical Russian diplomat the world came to expect during the Cold War. Medvedev has been "former" everything in Russia. He was president from 2008 to 2012. He served as Prime Minister from 2012 to 2020. He has served as Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia since 2020. All of this is important because he has moved from one power position to another without falling from a window. It is impossible to imagine Medvedev taking a very public shot at Trump, including his trademarked threat of war, without coordination with Putin.

President Trump responded in a way that left no doubt that he's finally realized that Putin was stringing him along regarding a truce in Ukraine.

https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/114945847973193713

"I don’t care what India does with Russia. They can take their dead economies down together, for all I care. We have done very little business with India, their Tariffs are too high, among the highest in the World. Likewise, Russia and the USA do almost no business together. Let’s keep it that way, and tell Medvedev, the failed former President of Russia, who thinks he’s still President, to watch his words. He’s entering very dangerous territory!"

When Trump gave Putin that new 2-week ceasefire deadline last Monday, does that mean the secondary sanctions on any country that helps Russia will kick in om Aug. 11th?

No wonder Medvedev is so ticked off ... those sanctions will cut Russia off at the kneecaps

"We have done very little business with India,"

Really? So is Trump going to cancel the millions of H1B visas that let Indian workers take American jobs? Will he tax the BILLIONS in remittances those workers send back to India to prop up their quasi-socialist economy? Hmmm?

Exclusive: Indian state refiners pause Russian oil purchases, sources say

Nidhi Verma  |  July 31, 2025  8:44 AM EDT  |  Updated 12 hours ago


NEW DELHI, July 30 (Reuters) - Indian state refiners have stopped buying Russian oil in the past week as discounts narrowed this month and U.S. President Donald Trump warned against purchasing oil from Moscow, industry sources said.

India, the world's third-largest oil importer, is the biggest buyer of seaborne Russian crude.

The country's state refiners - Indian Oil Corp (IOC.NS), opens new tab, Hindustan Petroleum Corp (HPCL.NS), opens new tab, Bharat Petroleum Corp (BPCL.NS), opens new tab and Mangalore Refinery Petrochemical Ltd (MRPL.NS), opens new tab - have not sought Russian crude in the past week or so, four sources familiar with the refiners' purchase plans told Reuters.

IOC, BPCL, HPCL, MRPL and the federal oil ministry did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment.

The four refiners regularly buy Russian oil on a delivered basis and have turned to spot markets for replacement supply - mostly Middle Eastern grades such as Abu Dhabi's Murban crude and West African oil, sources said.

Private refiners Reliance Industries (RELI.NS), opens new tab and Nayara Energy are the biggest Russian oil buyers in India, but state refiners control over 60% of India's overall 5.2 million barrels per day refining capacity.

On July 14, Trump threatened 100% tariffs on countries that buy Russian oil unless Moscow reaches a major peace deal with Ukraine.  .  .

Verkhovna Rada Passes Draft Law No. 13533. We Urge the President to Sign It Without Delay

July 31, 2025  |  13:19


Today, the Verkhovna Rada voted in favor of Draft Law No. 13533, submitted by the President, which restores the independence of Ukraine’s anti-corruption infrastructure, primarily the NABU and the SAPO. The law addresses most of the risks that emerged following the adoption of Law No. 4555-IX, which had opened the door to political interference in investigations.

331 Members of Parliament voted in favor.

The newly adopted Draft Law No. 13533:

  • Restores NABU’s exclusive jurisdiction — Other law enforcement agencies may investigate NABU cases only under exceptional martial law circumstances and solely by decision of the SAPO Head or the Prosecutor General.

  • Limits the powers of the Prosecutor General’s Office — The Prosecutor General will no longer be able to interfere in NABU investigations or demand case files. NABU detectives will be accountable only to SAPO prosecutors.

  • Ensures SAPO’s autonomy — The Head of SAPO will independently lead the prosecution office, without interference from the Prosecutor General or their deputies.

  • Reinstates SAPO’s procedural powers — Restores the SAPO Head’s authority to approve investigation extensions, issue notices of suspicion to top officials, and conduct urgent searches in exceptional cases.

  • Abolishes the “single window” for case closure — The Prosecutor General will no longer have the sole authority to close high-profile cases without SAPO’s involvement.


We call on the President to sign this law as soon as possible to fully restore the independence of Ukraine’s anti-corruption system  .  .  .

Really? So is Trump going to cancel the millions of H1B visas that let Indian workers take American jobs?


That is not going to happen.  Trump fully supports the H1-b Visa Program, has promised tech billionaires in Silicon Valley to greatly increase the numbers.  There is a video of 4 or 5 of them chuckling away, happy as can be that Trump promised them huge increases in the numbers.

I voted for Trump three times, but he has betrayed the American white collar worker.  Of course, no more than the other stinking rats in Washington.

There is no mystery why wages have largely been frozen for 30-40 years.  With the influx on the southern border, displacing blue collar workers, and the millions coming on H1-b Visas to the USA largely from India displacing USA white collar workers, these people are willing to work for pennies versus USA workers, who have to contend with living in this expensive land.

The betrayal of the American people is absolute.  I do not think anyone will come to help the white collar workers.  AI will be the next phase to displace largely white collar workers, in numbers far greater than what has been seen with the H1-b Visa Program.

This is why TERM LIMITS are so important.  If we are ever to return to a country of the people for the people by the people, the only thing that will open a window for that is TERM LIMITS.  Otherwise, it is the corporations that have a voice, and not the people.

I think our music spells it out where we are going as a society.  For 30 years, the music has been total garbage, with one or two exceptions.  All the billionaires who made money in the music industry in the last 30 years, and I could not name one song by Beyonce, and half a dozen others that are billionaires.  We are a society in total decay.  We are dying as a society.  Our republic is long gone with fixed elections.

The USA is being destroyed by both parties, for globalism, or the advancement of corporations, while the people struggle working 2 or 3 jobs to just put food on the table.   My household is making what most would consider a handsome income, and yet, I do not live as good as I did making $26,000 in 1978.  I used to buy beef filet by the dozen, 1 lb filets.  I haven't bought filets in years.  They are $28 a pound, and the quality meat north of $60/lb.  To buy a dozen would cost over $400, and the meat would not taste nearly as good today.

I guess I am extremely depressed and saddened by the world of today.  Putin is every bit as bat sh*t crazy as Hitler was.  No sane man would continue with what he is doing.  And Trump is placating the monster, a modern day Hitler.  Disgusting!!!!!!

And the nonsense of Gaza, is beyond comprehension!  Israel is being forced by the USA to feed their enemy.  Ulysses Grant did not mind starving Confederate soldiers.  Why?  Because they surrendered when they were hungry enough.  The USA is forcing Israel to provide comfort to their enemy so that another October 7th is guaranteed.  The idiocy is beyond belief.  We are a nation of idiots.  Let enough of them starve to death, and either they kill off Hamas, or Israel eventually ends Hamas.  With the approach by the USA and the idiot Europeans, they give promise to the rise of Hamas to wage terror upon Israel once again.  Utter stupidity.

I am so sick of the sh*t!!!!!!!!!!!

I concur with the meat prices and quality, but go back 10 years prior. Back in the days when New Jersey as filled with miles and mega-acres of  truck farms, aka the Garden State, and not housing developments, shopping centers corporate headquarters squatting on once productive farm land. Same for the Seattle area - farms sitting on 20 feet of top soil now covered with a mountain's worth of gravel, paved over and befouled with one story mega-business 'parks'.

If anyone wonders why food prices are do high and the quality so low, look no further that what has been done to the basis of the food supply: the soil.

But not to worry - its all part of the War on Natural Resource Harvesters begun by Noxious Nixon and designed to destroy all sectors of natural resource harvesting from timber to farms and ranches, from mining to commercial fishing. Sit back and eat your tasty chemicals and insects. All will be well ... soon ... we are promised ...

47 continues his meandering path of naivety in regard to Russia and foreign policy in general.

47, the powers that be, and the media treat Gaza as though there is just this one very bad group - get rid of that and everything will be fine. No one will point out, or say that all 2 million are Hamas and they all have to go, one way or another.

Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, July 31, 2025

Excerpts:

Russia has launched a simultaneous kinetic and cognitive response to US President Donald Trump's [ naive ] efforts to end Russia's war in Ukraine ... [ Putin continues to show 47 his middle finger while yelling, "Nah nah so there." ]

The Kremlin's nuclear threats and rhetorical efforts to delay peace negotiations are part of a broader cognitive campaign to undermine US-led efforts to end Russia's war in Ukraine. Russian Security Council Deputy Chairperson Dmitry Medvedev responded to a statement by US President Donald Trump on both his English- and Russian-language Telegram accounts on July 31 and threatened that Russia is “doing everything right” and will continue along its own path '

Kremlin newswire RIA Novosti published op-eds on July 30 entitled “There is no other option: no one should remain alive in Ukraine,” and “Noted: Ukraine will end very soon,” further showcasing the Kremlin's long-standing commitment to conquering all of Ukraine and increasingly aggressive rhetorical line in response to President Trump's efforts to compel Russia to engage constructively in the peace process.

ISW continues to assess that Russia remains fully committed to conquering Ukraine and protracting the negotiation process to buy time for further battlefield gains and extract concessions from Ukraine and the West.

The People's Republic of China (PRC) is a decisive enabler of devastating long-range Russian strikes against the Ukrainian rear. A Russian milblogger claimed on July 30 that Russian forces launched up to 200 Geran-2 drones (the Russian iteration of the Iranian Shahed-136 drone) and Garpiya-A1 kamikaze drones (reportedly another Shahed drone variant that Russia produces with primarily PRC-produced components) in the strike against Kyiv City. Reuters recently reported that PRC companies deliberately falsely label drone engines shipped to Russia for use in Garpiya drones as “industrial refrigeration units” to hide their actual military purpose, and Russia also uses PRC components in other Shahed-type drones, including a decoy and reconnaissance variant.

ISW has observed reports indicating that Russian defense manufacturer Izhevsk Electromechanical Plant Kupol increased its annual production of Garpiya-A1 drones from 2,000 to over 6,000, largely due to a steady supply of PRC-made L550E engines. The PRC is an indispensable supplier for the broader Russian drone industry, as ISW has routinely assessed.

Russia will continue relying heavily on the PRC to support the expansion of its long-range strike capabilities and may incorporate more Garpiya drones in strike packages in the coming weeks and months as Russia seeks to conduct regular strikes consisting of up to 2,000 drones, likely by November 2025.

European and US sanctions appear to be degrading Russian revenues from third-country importers of Russian oil. Bloomberg reported on July 28 that Indian oil refineries are diversifying crude oil imports and increasingly buying from Azerbaijan, Nigeria, and the United Arab Emirates after Europe intensified sanctions on Russian oil exports ...

I agree with you but it might surprise you to know that I go much further with term limits than most.

With the exception of the United States military and Coast Guard I would like to see a twelve year term limit on all government employees.

US Senators would get two terms. Period. And then they have to leave government entirely.

State legislators would get twelve years and then done. No running for Congress and becoming a career politician. Do your duty and then get out.

Police, bureaucrats, janitors, teachers, college professors...all would be limited to twelve years of government employment.

No more Deep State. Twelve years and then you're out. Go do something else.

Russia launched 103 airstrikes on Kharkiv, killing 1, injuring 164, including 20 children, in July

Yana Sliemzina  -  01 August 2025  |  17:00

UKRAINE, KHARKIV, Aug 1


 — Russia launched 103 air attacks on Kharkiv, killing one person and injuring 164 people, including 20 children, reported Mayor Ihor Terekhov on his Telegram channel.

In particular, Russian troops launched 81 Shahed drones on the city, nine glide bombs, including the ones with UMPB-5 module, two Iskander missiles, one FPV drone, and other types of kamikaze drones, including Molniya and Chernika.

“Often, (Russian) used combined attacks: first, (they hit the city) with glide bombs, then with Shaheds, and all of that (was launched) at one target. That fits into another familiar tendency of (Russian troops using) double-taps with minimal time intervals, when the emergency services, doctors, and rescues are already working at the impact site.”

Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, is located in the northeast of Ukraine. Russia has been frequently shelling it since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, destroying civilian buildings and killing, injuring people.   .  .  .

This makes no sense.  The police are not the policy makers.  They serve their community.  And Congress has abdicated their responsibility to produce viable legislation, leaving the running of this country to the bureaucrats.  That is not the bureaucrats fault, it is those elected to office in Congress.  It is only Congress that repeatedly lays down on the job and does little to nothing.  And sadly, the Republicans are worse than the Dems at doing a big fat nothing.  The cost of training alone would prohibit what you suggest.  Makes no sense.  Janitors?  They influence no one.  Please!  None of these people are using insider trading like most in Congress to advance their pockets with gold.

Here we are, moving toward 7 months into Trumps 2nd term, and what has Congress done?  They passed a budget.  Big deal!  A budget that results in $1.6 trillion in new debt.  Totally inexcusable.  No mystery why Musk went berserk on Trump's failure to make real results happen.

A large part of it is because Musk was not the person to deal with the federal workforce.  Musk was utterly clueless on his approach.  CLUELESS!!!!  I was in that industry much of my life, and the approach used was an Alexander Proudfoot approach.  When Obama was elected POTUS, all the boutique consulting firms literally disappeared.  He destroyed commercial firms in the USA.  Folks from that industry could come in with the right approach, reduce the size of government by 40-60%, no lawsuits, no drama, no mass terminations without looking at the work, which is foolish and stupid.

There is a lot to know.  Government is different than the commercial realm, but it is a target rich opportunity if done right.  Musk's approach, which is Trump's approach was the bull in the china shop approach.  Not the least bit effective, causing lower productivity, and great voter animosity come November, 2026.  I see no way the Republicans retain both houses of Congress with the sh*t storm caused by Musk/Trump.  In fact, I would say there is a good chance both fall into the disastrous Dems' hands.

AI answer: Alexander Proudfoot approach to government under Obama

There is also an Alexander Proudfoot who founded the consulting company Proudfoot in Chicago, USA, in 1946. He had a keen interest in psychology and people behavior, and their intrinsic link to business performance. The company, which is now known as Management Consulting Group PLC, provides professional services across a wide range of industries and sectors.

Management Consulting Group PLC is a United Kingdom-based management consultancy services company that provides professional services to various industries and sectors via the Proudfoot practice. The company designs, implements, and accelerates the operational transformation that realizes tomorrow's results today.

It serves various industries including manufacturing, natural resources, consumer packaged goods, transportation, automotive, building materials, and heavy industry. It also provides market-specific local customization for Financial Services and Healthcare sectors. The company provides its services in the Americas, Europe, and other regions, and generates a vast majority of its revenue from Europe.

There is no information available about Alexander Proudfoot's [ the company ] approach to government under the Obama administration. The documents detail the company's history, services, leadership, and projects in various industries, but do not mention any involvement with or approach to the U.S. federal government during President Barack Obama's tenure from 2009 to 2017

Congress already did pass such a bill by simple majority vote.  And the Supreme Court threw it out (as Congress knew it would).  If you want term limits, then you must amend the Constitution.  And that will take two thirds of both houses to initiate (which of course they won't vote for).
