Vladimir Putin appears to have shifted his war aims to once again include conquering all of Ukraine as his forces accelerate gains on the front lines.

The “Weapons Launch Campaign” _“all of Ukraine is ours” “Wherever the Russian soldier treads is ours,”

[23] For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, [24] Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.Acts 27 : 23-24

The Russian president announced that “all of Ukraine is ours” last week as the world’s attention was drawn to the conflict in the Middle East and Iran’s nuclear programme.

The truth is to be the food given to the souls ready to perish. Call the attention of the people to the signs of the times. There are wars and rumors of wars. Nation is rising against nation. Selfishness and covetousness lead to violence, crime, and all kinds of wickedness. Nation is watching nation, to see if there is not some advantage to be gained. A concession made by one nation only opens the way for another concession to be called for. The presumptuous, daring deeds of unholy ambition, done to gain strength by robbing others, show that men do not realize that he that taketh the sword shall perish with the sword. 15LtMs, Lt 28, 1900, par. 30

“Wherever the Russian soldier treads is ours,” he told an economic forum in St Petersburg as his forces attempted to push into Sumy, despite not being one of the four regions he annexed in 2022.

Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.2 Timothy 2 : 3

After debilitating strikes, Trump tells ‘Extrimists’ Houthis: Stop shooting at us and ‘we will stop shooting at you’

But while Satan rules in the world, he is also working in the church to prevent men and women from proclaiming the warning message. Our church members are asleep; unbrotherliness exists. There is much of selfishness revealed. Self-esteem and self-exaltation are prevailing evils, and because of this there is manifest a spirit of criticism, where no such thing should exist. And some who realize the responsibilities resting upon them, and who would go forth with the message of warning, are prevented by the forbiddings of those who feel that it is their prerogative to control the actions of their fellow workers. Thus Satan is working to close the lips of some to whom God has given His message to the world; and if possible he will continue his working until souls who are convinced of the truth for this time, seeing the inconsistencies of those who profess to believe it, turn away and are lost. 22LtMs, Ms 117, 1907, par. 15

Meanwhile, peace talks have further stalled, with Putin saying they are “nowhere close” to success after efforts by Donald Trump fizzled out.

On Monday, Putin’s forces said that they had taken the final sliver of Luhansk after controlling about 99 per cent of the region for several years.

If state media claims are accurate, Russian forces have also seized their first village in the Dnipropetrovsk region – a territory Ukraine has never previously had to defend from invading ground troops. Tens of thousands of troops are also massing around Sumy and Kharkiv, two northern regions not included in the 2022 annexation.

If confirmed, Luhansk would become the first Ukrainian region to fall fully under Russian control since Putin annexed Crimea in 2014.

But Putin’s ambitions now appear to go far beyond Luhansk and the three other regions he illegally annexed in September 2022.

And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.
Mark 6 : 48

Those who believe the truths of the third angel’s message need now to make the most of every opportunity for service. Very soon we will have less favorable opportunity than we now have to proclaim this message of warning. 22LtMs, Ms 117, 1907, par. 16

After debilitating strikes, Trump tells ‘Extrimists’ Houthis: Stop shooting at us and ‘we will stop shooting at you’

The intensification of operations across Ukraine comes as US-led efforts to broker peace between Moscow and Kyiv appear to have stalled.

The satanic agencies are a living, persevering power, at work to bar the way so that the kingdom of Christ may not come and the will of God be done in the earth. The church is asleep while Satan is sowing his tares. While so many of the church members refuse to shine, how shall the world be enlightened? There is work given of God for every one to do; there are to be no idle ones. Not one is to be selfish and self-centered. It is very easy to become thus, and Satan is constantly working that this selfish spirit shall be manifested by professed Christians. 7LtMs, Ms 10, 1892, par. 13

Two rounds of direct talks took place!

And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.Revelation 10 : 11

Two rounds of direct talks took place in May and June, but yielded little beyond agreements to exchange prisoners of war and repatriate the dead.

Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare that I will render double unto thee;Zechariah 9 : 12, Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.1 Peter 4 : 5

Nearly Three Years to Claim Full Control!

Russia’s decision to annexe Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia in 2022 was, in part, a recalibration after it failed to take Kyiv. By narrowing its goals to eastern Ukraine, Moscow hoped to present a more realistic path to victory.

Yet it has taken nearly three years to claim full control of Luhansk – if that claim proves true – despite starting the war with a large portion of the region already occupied.

“Which of you convicteth [Revised Version] Me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe Me?” Day by day for three years His enemies had been following Christ, trying to find some stain in His character. Satan and all the confederacy of evil had been seeking to overcome Him; but they had found nothing in Him by which to gain an advantage. DA 467.4

In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.Matthew 26 : 55

The shift back to a wider campaign!

Now, the shift back to a wider campaign is unmistakable. Renewed offensives around Kharkiv and Sumy, both targeted unsuccessfully in the early months of the war, point to a new escalation.

Angelica Evans, a Russia analyst at the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), said Putin’s revised ambitions began resurfacing when he visited Kursk in May and ordered the creation of a “buffer zone” along the Ukrainian border.

“That was a light way to introduce that into the information space. First, it’s a buffer zone, it’s just 30km to protect Russians,” she told The Telegraph.

“Then you’re not that far from major regional cities, so why not take those? Because [Putin thinks] ‘isn’t it our right to take those, because they’re historic Russian cities’. It’s slow-rolling what I think we eventually will see … a return to an acknowledgement to take all of Ukraine.”

[6] Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increaseth that which is not his! how long? and to him that ladeth himself with thick clay! [8] Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the people shall spoil thee; because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein. [12] Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity! Habakkuk 2 : 6, 8, 12

18 people were killed in a missile strike on an apartment block!

Putin’s apparent shift in strategy may also explain the recent uptick in strikes on civilian areas. In Kyiv, 18 people were killed in a missile strike on an apartment block, while 17 died while travelling on a civilian train in the Dnipropetrovsk region.

[4] Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem? [5] I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.Luke 13 : 4-5

“The desire to strike these places has always been there,” said Ms Evans.

The Roman Catholic Church, with all its ramifications throughout the world, forms one vast organization under the control, and designed to serve the interests, of the papal see. Its millions of communicants, in every country on the globe, are instructed to hold themselves as bound in allegiance to the pope. Whatever their nationality or their government, they are to regard the authority of the church as above all other. Though they may take the oath pledging their loyalty to the state, yet back of this lies the vow of obedience to Rome, absolving them from every pledge inimical to her interests.
History testifies of her artful and persistent efforts to insinuate herself into the affairs of nations; and having gained a foothold, to further her own aims, even at the ruin of princes and people. GC 580.2

“A lot of these strikes are about undermining Ukrainian morale and for some of these settlements, that are closer to the frontline, an effort to convince people to leave and to make it easier in the future to seize these places. There’s some really long-term objectives at play.”

The flat terrain and sparse settlements could allow for a swift Russian advance!

The reported seizure of Dachne in Dnipropetrovsk, if confirmed, would be especially troubling for Volodymyr Zelensky. In more than a decade of conflict with Kremlin-backed separatists and Russian troops, Ukraine has never had to fight in this region.

One Ukrainian military source previously warned that the flat terrain and sparse settlements could allow for a swift Russian advance. It would also come at a time when Russia is advancing at its fastest pace since November.

And there came a man of God, and spake unto the king of Israel, and said, Thus saith the LORD, Because the Syrians have said, The LORD is God of the hills, but he is not God of the valleys, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into thine hand, and ye shall know that I am the LORD.1 Kings 20 : 28

The Russian army took 588 sq km (227 sq miles) of Ukrainian territory in June, compared with 507 sq km in May, 379 sq km in April, and 240 sq km in March, according to ISW data. While gains have increased, it would still take 70 years for Russia to take the whole country if advances continued at the same rate.

The iniquity and spiritual darkness that prevailed under the supremacy of Rome were the inevitable result of her suppression of the Scriptures; but where is to be found the cause of the widespread infidelity, the rejection of the law of God, and the consequent corruption, under the full blaze of gospel light in an age of religious freedom?

The desire to seize more territory beyond the annexed regions may not come as a surprise to Ukrainian negotiators.

During peace talks in Istanbul in May, Russian officials reportedly warned Ukraine that Moscow could sustain its war effort for another 21 years.

Thus they cast away the law and the Sabbath together. As the work of Sabbath reform extends, this rejection of the divine law to avoid the claims of the fourth commandment will become well-nigh universal. The teachings of religious leaders have opened the door to infidelity, to spiritualism, and to contempt for God’s holy law; and upon these leaders rests a fearful responsibility for the iniquity that exists in the Christian world.

Fourth Wave! thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea!

Vladimir Medinsky, a Kremlin aide who led the Russian delegation, said Moscow wanted peace but would fight “however long it takes” and threatened to annexe Sumy and Kharkiv if Ukraine refused to bow down to Putin’s demands.

Some US officials also appear to recognise that Russia has little interest in ending the conflict.

Keith Kellogg, Mr Trump’s special envoy for Russia and Ukraine, said Russia was to blame for derailing the talks.

O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:Isaiah 48 : 18

“Russian claims that it is the US and Ukraine stalling peace talks are unfounded. President Trump has been consistent and adamant about making progress to end the war,” he said.

“We urge an immediate ceasefire and a move to trilateral talks to end the war. Russia cannot continue to stall for time while it bombs civilian targets in Ukraine.”
