On July 7, the Russian military struck the buildings of territorial centers of completion and social support (TCC and SP, this is an analogue of the military registration and enlistment office in Ukraine) in Kharkov and Zaporozhye, the command of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces reported .

As a result of the strike on the TCC in Zaporozhye, the military said, one soldier was wounded, three people were injured in Kharkov. Local authorities reported 20 victims in Zaporozhye, including two military, and 33 wounded in Kharkov.

In Kharkov, according to the authorities, the Kholodnogorsk district fell under the blow: administrative buildings, a five -story residential building were damaged, two cars and another residential building burned down. On the night of July 7, the city was also attacked by drones. In total, 66 people were injured , including six children. Eight victims are hospitalized. One person died.

In Zaporozhye, the hostels of the educational institution, multi -apartment and private houses and non -residential buildings are damaged .

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation recognized the attack, saying that the Russian drones had “defeated” the APU TCC.

The troops of the Russian Federation from the end of June - early July were aimed at Ukrainian TCCs. On June 30, it was reported that Russian drones fell next to the TCC building in Krivoy Rog, three people were injured. On July 3, the Command of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces reported a fire in the building of the Territorial Center for the Complement in Poltava after the attack of Russian drones. Another TCC in the Poltava region, in Kremenchug, was hit on July 6.

Against the backdrop of Russian attacks, the TCC in the Lviv region strengthened security measures, the source of Supilna told . Among other things, at the entrance to the institution, the guards were strengthened.

On the Facebook of the TCC in Vinnitsa, a message appeared that the institution suspended work at the main address “Due to the tense situation in the country”. Later, the department deleted the post and published a new one. It states that the personnel of the Vinnitsa Regional TCC “was dispersed” for security purposes. Information in the first post, as the officials explained, “was edited as a result of extraneous intervention,” so it was removed.

The Armed Forces of the Armed Forces associated the aiming strike of the Russian Federation on Ukrainian TCCs with attempts to disrupt mobilization. “The enemy is very afraid of the influx of military personnel in our army,” Vitaly Sarantsev, the speaker of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, assured on July 6. According to him, before the blows there was a series of minilations and attempts to carry explosive devices in TCC, which are associated with Russia in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The changed tactics of the Russian army forces Ukraine to adapt defense on the front line, writes Politico

As the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Rustem Umarov said last week, the troops of the Russian Federation refused to attack large formations with the support of armored vehicles in favor of attacks of the smaller units under the cover of drones.

Ukraine in response changes the tactics of defense. Now fortifications are built for platoons for 20-50 people, while previously defensive structures were built for mouths (about 100 people) and battalions (500 people). Previously, the strongholds consisted of an extensive network of trenches with a length of two to five kilometers. Now we are talking about trenches with a length of 60 to 70 meters with mandatory protection against drones.

Behind the first line, Ukraine continues to build two more defense lines with concrete “dragon’s teeth” to contain armored vehicles, in minefields and other protective equipment.

According to the military Armed Forces of Ukraine, who spoke with Politico on anonymity, Russian troops are constantly looking for weaknesses in Ukrainian defense and trying to use them.

“It all depends on the commander. If he orders to dig and mines, the area will be well fortified. If the Russians see that you are well dug, they attack the neighboring site, ”said one of Politico's interlocutors.

The military words were confirmed in the Ukrainian analytical project Deepstate. According to his co -founder Roman Pogorely, the Russian army sets in the entire front line, studying where it is easier to break through the Ukrainian defense. “The Russians are everywhere, they are looking for weak and problem areas, they know them all. And as soon as they find, they immediately concentrate troops there and begin a breakthrough. And it was then, unfortunately, our defense begins to crumble, ”said Pogarevy.

The military and analysts criticized an unsystematic approach to the organization of defense in the north-east of the country, in the Sumy and Kharkov regions. In particular, the soldiers are unhappy that the authorities of the Sumy region did not use the time that they won in connection with the invasion of the Kursk region to create defense lines. According to the Ukrainian soldier Artem Karyakin, local authorities and the military began to establish the first defensive structures only after the Armed Forces of Ukraine began to retreat from the Kursk region.

“By the time most of the dugouts were finished, the Russians were already much closer, and many positions lost their relevance. I believe that people responsible for fortification have lost a huge amount of time and lost their task. The work was carried out, but with large and extremely illogical delays, ”said Karjakin.

War through the eyes of readers "Medusa"

Anonymous reader (Moscow). Recently, I realized that I was hatred. Every day I see people peacefully walking about their business, as if there was no war. I can’t look at these people, realizing that because of the silence of everyone in a neighboring country, someone is deprived of at home, family, life. All these people could and can change everything, but alas, they do not want and are deeply sure that this "does not concern." It's horrible.

I believe that you can still fix, just stop being afraid.
