❗️I have ordered our intelligence and army to work preemptively on those facilities that the Russians use to scale up the war, — Zelenskyy.

▪️The Russian leadership is now pulling more air defense systems to Moscow, Valdai, and under Putin’s bridge across the Kerch Strait — at the expense of air defense in other directions.
▪️Fuel shortages have already appeared in more than 60 Russian regions, along with a sharp rise in gasoline and diesel prices.

❗️❗️”Our operation, particularly in Crimea, is precisely calculated and planned. If what we discussed with our partners in Ukraine materializes, we will promptly create the conditions that will force the Russian Federation to choose peace,” — Zelenskyy.

❗️Ukraine has gone on the offensive and is changing the dynamics of the war by striking Russian energy infrastructure, stated US Deputy Secretary of State Jeremy Levin. Russia is waiting for winter to launch attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure. The United States has reinstated sanctions on Russian oil, provided $1.5 billion in aid since the fall, and emphasized the need for private investment in Ukraine.

St. John the Baptist, the forerunner of Christ, is one of only three people in history — after Jesus and Mary — whose birthday is celebrated in the Church’s liturgy.

In fact, the Nativity of St. John the Baptist on June 24 is a solemnity, meaning it is the highest form of Catholic feast day. And because it falls exactly six months before the solemnity of the Nativity of Our Lord, it is sometimes known as “Summer Christmas.”

“The Church observes the birth of John as in some way sacred; and you will not find any other of the great men of old whose birth we celebrate officially. We celebrate John’s, as we celebrate Christ’s,” St. Augustine of Hippo said in his sermon 293.

In the Mass for the solemnity, the priest prays to God in the preface that in Christ’s precursor, “St. John the Baptist, we praise your great glory, for you consecrated him for a singular honor among those born of women.”

“His birth brought great rejoicing; even in the womb he leapt for joy at the coming of human salvation. He alone of all the prophets pointed out the Lamb of redemption,” the prayer continues. “And to make holy the flowing waters, he baptized the very author of baptism and was privileged to bear him supreme witness by the shedding of his blood.”

St. Augustine explained that “John, it seems, has been inserted as a kind of boundary between the two Testaments, the Old and the New. That he is somehow or other a boundary is something that the Lord himself indicates when he says, ‘The Law and the prophets were until John.’ So he represents the old and heralds the new. Because he represents the old, he is born of an elderly couple; because he represents the new, he is revealed as a prophet in his mother’s womb.”

It doesn't take much fat from plants to make a difference either. For example, just three grams of fat in an entire meal may be enough to boost nutrient absorption. Dark green leafy veggies are the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet. https://t.co/XSLM2LVAzx

❗️Putin is not yet ready for negotiations and has rejected Zelenskyy’s proposals, stated US State Department representative Jeremy Levin. The United States is acting as a mediator and continues to support Ukraine to ensure a strong position in future negotiations.

What appears to be the first publicly released footage of a Ukrainian fighter using Ukrainian glide bombs to hit a Russian position.

Ukraine has been working on its domestic-manufactured glide bomb program for years, and is likely finally fielding units.

The European Parliament will hold its final vote on the EU-US Framework Agreement on tariffs on Tuesday following a debate in the plenary on Monday. The EPP Group supports the agreement, known as the 'Turnberry deal', as the best way to reduce transatlantic trade tensions and provide greater certainty for European businesses and workers.

"This agreement provides businesses with the certainty they need to invest, grow and create jobs. The focus must now be on deepening transatlantic cooperation and ensuring that its benefits are felt by workers, businesses and communities across our economies," said @ZovkoEU MEP, the EPP Group member responsible for US trade relations.

"The Turnberry deal remains the most viable option on the table and the best available outcome for EU businesses," added @jorgenwarborn MEP, the EPP Group spokesman on international trade.
