Ukraine's counteroffensive has 'failed' – Putin

Kiev’s forces haven’t managed to break Russian lines despite ten days of “violent attacks,” MOD chief Sergey Shoigu added

Ukraine’s ongoing counteroffensive has not “stalled” but failed, Russian President Vladimir Putin declared on Monday. With Ukrainian losses mounting and Kiev ramping up its conscription efforts, Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu affirmed his commander-in-chief's assessment.

The Ukrainian operation “is not stalled; it is a failure,” Putin declared, following talks with his Turkish counterpart, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, in the resort city of Sochi.

“At least, this is how it looks today,”he continued. “Let’s see what happens next. I hope this will continue to be the case.”

In early June, Kiev launched its long-awaited counteroffensive against Russian forces, using Western-provided tanks and armored vehicles to attack multiple points along the Kherson-Donetsk frontline. According to Russian figures, advancing through minefields and without air support, Ukraine lost at least 43,000 men in the first two months of the operation alone. It failed to penetrate even the first line of Russia’s multi-layered defensive network.

The Ukrainian military has since switched tactics, relying on lighter and more mobile infantry units to seize individual buildings and positions. However, losses remain high, and with Russian forces effectively countering these advances with drone-corrected artillery fire, Kiev is urgently seeking to draft more troops.

Ukraine has loosened its medical requirements for military service and is reportedly considering extraditing draft dodgers who managed to flee the country since last February.

In separate remarks to the media on Monday, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu confirmed Putin’s assessment of the counteroffensive. “Today everything is exactly as our president said,” Shoigu declared. The minister noted that the Ukrainian military has "for the last ten days at least" been carrying out "violent attacks with large forces,” but has not managed to break Russia’s defenses.

Much of the fighting over the last two weeks has centered around the village of Rabotino, located in the Zaporozhye sector of the front and near the city of Artyomovsk/Bakhmut in the Donetsk Region. Although Kiev and its Western backers claim to be making incremental progress at Rabotino, The Russian Defense Ministry said on Monday that it repelled a Ukrainian attack on the village theprevious night, killing up to 115 Ukrainian troopsand destroying multiple armored vehicles and US-made artillery guns.

Singer made famous by ‘Shrek’ dies at 56

Steve Harwell, the original lead vocalist for Smash Mouth, has reportedly died of liver failure

Steve Harwell, the original lead singer and co-founder of US rock band Smash Mouth, has reportedly died at age 56 after struggles with alcohol abuse led to liver failure.

Harwell passed away at his home in Boise, Idaho, on Monday, just one day after media reports indicated that he was receiving hospice care and was at the “final stage” of liver failure. He retired from Smash Mouth in 2021 because of health issues.

The band, founded in 1994, rose to greater prominence when its chart-topping songs ‘All Star’ and ‘I’m a Believer’ were featured on the soundtrack of ‘Shrek,’ the animated blockbuster that ranked as one of the top-grossing films of 2001. Although Smash Mouth members bristled at their success being attributed to the movie, noting that they had multiple hit songs before ‘Shrek’ came along, co-founder Paul DeLisle later embraced the band’s association with the film. He even joked that Harwell “kind of vaguely resembles Shrek.”

Smash Mouth sold over 10 million albums globally and scored five Top 40 singles, including ‘Walkin on the Sun’, ‘Then the Morning Comes’ and ‘Why Can’t We Be Friends’. The band continues to perform with Harwell’s replacement, Zach Goode, serving as lead vocalist.

Harwell was previously diagnosed withcardiomyopathy(???jab), a type of heart disease. He left the band after an October 2021 performance at a festival in New York, where he slurred his words, cursed at the audience and made crude gestures. His representative attributed the outburst to his health problems, and Harwell issued a statement saying he would no longer be able to perform with Smash Mouth.

“Ever since I was a kid, I dreamed of being a rock star, performing in front of sold-out arenas and have been so fortunate to live out that dream,” the singer said. “To my bandmates, it’s been an honor performing with you all these years and I can’t think of anyone else I would have rather gone on this wild journey with.”

Smash Mouth manager Robert Hayes told Rolling Stone that Harwell “passed peacefully and comfortably” and was surrounded by family and friends. “Steve’s iconic voice is one of the most recognizable voices from his generation,” Hayes said in a statement. “He loved the fans and loved to perform.Steve Harwell was a true American original.”

(Kinda strange Jimmy Buffet dies yesterday ot the day before and Steve Harrel dies today, at 76 and 56. Is this “The Day Music Died”, Bye, Bye Miss American Pie.)
