On July 19, in Russian-occupied Luhansk, a series of powerful explosions rang out near the aviation school.

Points of attention

  • The illegitimate authorities of Luhansk have traditionally accused Ukraine of the explosions at the alleged base of the occupiers.
  • The SBU together with the Armed Forces Navy successfully used drones to attack the Russian coast guard base on Lake Donuzlav in Crimea, hitting the equipment and firing positions of the occupiers.
  • As a result of the drone attack on the Russian coast guard base in Crimea, the headquarters, ammunition depot, electrical substation and other objects of the enemy base were damaged.

A column of smoke rose over occupied Luhansk

Currently, a column of smoke has risen over the city, in particular in the district aviation school.

Local Telegram channels shared photos and videos of the consequences of the flight.

According to the media, the explosions and fire occurred in the area of the aviation school, where the base of the occupation forces of the Russian Federation is currently located.

The illegitimate local authorities immediately cynically announced the "attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine" and reported on the work of air defense.

Currently, emergency and rescue services and investigative bodies of the aggressor country are arriving at the scene of the explosions.

SSU drones hit a Russian military base in Crimea

On the night of July 18, naval and aerial drones of the SSU struck the Russian Coast Guard base on Lake Donuzlav in Crimea. The Security Service of Ukraine worked together with the Naval Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, sources inform.

Last night, the occupation naval forces of the Russian Federation conducted training on the protection of the water area of Lake Donuzlav in Crimea. Thanks to SSU drones, these exercises became a failure, because the Russians were unable to protect even their base, not to mention the water area of the lake.

According to sources, as a result of the combined attack of sea and air drones on the base of the Coast Guard of the Russian Federation, the following were damaged and disabled:

  • headquarters with a control point;

  • warehouse of ammunition and equipment;

  • electric substation;

  • technical facilities;

  • firing positions of the occupiers of the Russian Federation.

Time will work for Ukraine. Putin may incur Trump's wrath

Putin can outdo himself

The Wall Street Journal points out that US President Donald Trump's plans to end Russia's war against Ukraine as quickly as possible have proven unrealistic. Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky's team is now waiting for the White House leader to lose patience with dictator Vladimir Putin's antics.

Points of attention

  • Former US Ambassador Daniel Fried highlights that time will work in Ukraine's favor if Trump persists in seeking a quick deal while Putin remains an obstacle.
  • The outcome of the conflict hinges on Trump's response if he feels deceived by Putin's maneuvers, potentially escalating tensions between the US and Russia.

Putin can outdo himself

As the editorial board notes, Ukraine's main goal at the moment is to exit the war without capitulating to Russia and at the same time without giving up its economic independence to the United States by signing an agreement on subsoil resources.

As for Putin, he has not given up on his plans: the Kremlin wants to dominate Ukraine at all costs and prevent its integration with the West.

Against this background, official Moscow is doing everything possible to drag out negotiations with the US. Recently, Russia has even begun to claim that it will not accept the US proposal for a ceasefire, since, they say, the "root causes" of the war are not being addressed.

The current situation was commented on by former US Ambassador to Poland and Atlantic Council fellow Daniel Fried.

According to the latter, Zelensky's team is currently in a more advantageous position, as it is not dictating conditions to Trump and is simply waiting for the US president to lose patience with Putin's antics.

"Time will work in Ukraine's favor if Trump continues to push for a quick deal, and Putin (Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, — ed.) will be an obstacle. If Trump decides he has been fooled, he may react badly," the diplomat stressed.
