Trump held a phone call with Putin.

In short, Putin proudly told Trump how he had liberated Konstantinovka\.

\In fact, no, full control over Konstantinovka is not shown on any authoritative map - neither DeepState, nor ISW, nor Andrew Perpetua. You cannot even say that the Russian Armed Forces control most of the city.

Otherwise, nothing new.

Ushakov:

▪️The conversation lasted 1 hour 25 minutes.

▪️Putin congratulated Trump on a landmark holiday. Putin drew attention to the lavish and large-scale celebration of Independence Day, the way Donald Trump knows how to organize it.

▪️They touched on the topic of a settlement in Ukraine in light of Donald Trump's upcoming participation in the NATO summit in Turkey on July 7-8.

▪️Trump confirmed his readiness to facilitate the swift cessation of hostilities and the search for peaceful solutions to overcome the crisis.

▪️Witkoff and Kushner will continue mediation efforts.

(Witkoff and Kushner were supposed to arrive back at the end of May, and then in mid-June. They never came.)

▪️Kyiv and its European sponsors are betting on dragging out and even escalating the conflict, on terrorism against the civilian population.

▪️Europe's war party proceeds from a false perception of the situation and of the state of affairs on the front line.

▪️Putin outlined a picture of the real situation on the battlefield, where the Russian Armed Forces are advancing confidently, liberating one populated area after another.

▪️An important stage in liberating the entire territory of the "DPR" was the establishment of control over such a key Ukrainian Armed Forces stronghold as Konstantinovka.

▪️No matter how the "Kyiv regime" clings to its remaining fortified areas, our army will definitely take them.

Video is too big

The Call Came Before the Map

Putin told Trump he took Konstantinovka, but maps do not confirm it.

The briefing got there before the army.
