2/ 'Military Informant' asks, "Where did the unusual 50 days come from for Trump, who previously liked to measure everything in two weeks?" It comes up with the same answer as many Western commentators – that it matches Putin's timeframe for completing his conquests:
3/ "▪️Today, Axios published an article stating that Vladimir Putin, during a phone call with Trump, said that Russia would attempt to establish control over all entities included in the Russian constitution [i.e. taking control of all annexed regions] within the next 60 days. 
4/ "▪️The telephone conversation between Putin and Trump took place exactly 10 days ago – on July 3. That is, of the supposedly announced 60 days, there are currently 50 days left.
5/ "▪️As a result, today Trump is declaring exactly 50 days for concluding a deal on Ukraine, threatening secondary sanctions and duties."
6/ "Fighterbomber' concludes: "In fact, the United States gives us 50 days to take more advantageous positions, liberate our territories and conduct active combat operations in the most favourable conditions, with minimal amounts of assistance in weapons and equipment to Ukraine.
7/ "50 days is just before the onset of autumn and the transition of the war to the positional stage.
50 days is just the time to understand whether the launch of thousands of Gerans [Shahed drones] and Gerberas [decoy drones] will bring a strategic turning point in the war.

8/ "And in 50 days, the existing factual situation will be put on the table at new negotiations between us and the US.
We will see what we can put on the table in 50 days. I hope we still have some aces up our sleeves that we can put on the table at the right time."

9/ 'ZONE OF TRUTH' says:
"Trump gives Putin 2 months of carte blanche...
Moreover, equalising the chances of both sides, he gives the [Ukrainians] long-range weapons and air defence.
Well, that same promised, bloodiest period is now ahead."

10/ 'NgP raZVedka' looks forward to Russia "wreck[ing] Ukraine in a month and a half": "We have 50 days, several thousand Geraniums, Iskanders, Kh-101s, Kalibrs, and three tons of tarragon. Not that all of this was necessary, but ... you have to take things seriously." /end
