Given todays' horrific slow beheading of a wounded and screaming Ukrainian soldier by PMC Wagner/RAF, if you are a U.S. Citizen please use https://t.co/L6e6psyzOa to draft and send emails calling for PMC Wagner to officially be recognized as a terrorist organization by the U.S..
NEW: Ukrainian forces continue to interdict several bridges that support ground lines of communication (GLOCs) connecting occupied Kherson Oblast to Crimea.
Other Key Takeaways:
Russian occupation authorities are struggling to address worsening gasoline shortages in occupied Sevastopol, likely due to Ukrainian long- and intermediate-range strikes against Russian logistics and energy infrastructure.
Ukrainian forces appear to have achieved a tactical drone overmatch on the battlefield and are intensifying middle-range strike campaign, reportedly driving higher Russian casualties on the battlefield amidst declining recruitment rates.
Russia is establishing new and expanding existing military bases along its northern border with NATO likely in order to support future Russian force projection capabilities against NATO. ISW assesses that Russian forces remain unlikely to conduct ground operations in the near-term, however.
The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) continues to fabricate evidence as part of its cognitive warfare effort to support false claims of advance.
Ukrainian forces continued their intermediate- to long-range strike campaign against Russian oil infrastructure and military assets on June 10 and 11. Russian forces launched two Iskander-M ballistic missiles and 221 drones against Ukraine overnight.
Ukrainian forces recently advanced in the Oleksandrivka direction.
Trump says, "I don't think about Americans' financial situation" and "I love the inflation."
Mike Johnson says Republicans "have a plan" to cut Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security.

Ukraine has created its own analogue of the Patriot missile system and has already conducted its first tests, according to the Financial Times.
The company Fire Point announced the successful first flight tests of its FP-7.x missile, designed to intercept ballistic missiles and drones.
According to the developers, each missile will cost around $700,000, compared to approximately $3.8 million for a Patriot PAC-3 interceptor. Production is planned to begin in August, with the first operational missiles potentially becoming available in 2027.
As the Financial Times notes, the system is unlikely to fully replace Patriot, but it could become an important addition to Ukraine's air defense network and help address the shortage of expensive Western interceptor missiles.
🚨BREAKING: A U.S. citizen was riding his bike in Laredo, Texas… when Border Patrol agents pulled alongside him and illegally tried to block him in.
When he kept riding, they chased him down, physically grabbed him by the arm, and immediately started demanding identification and asking where he was from.
He told them he born in Laredo, Texas.
But that was not good enough.
The agent asked, “What high school did you go to?”
He answered that, too… and they still kept demanding ID, over and over again.
The Fourth Amendment exists for a reason. In America, law enforcement don’t get to randomly stop people, physically grab them, and demand identification because they feel like it.
Being on a bike isn’t a crime.
You also don’t have to carry an ID on you unless you are operating a motor vehicle… which he was not.
So, demanding an ID, without probable cause, is illegal.
And the cherry on top? When the man went to use his phone, an agent tried to stop him by grabbing it… apparently unaware the entire encounter was already being recorded by his glasses.
If Border Patrol can stop an American born citizen riding his bike, demand his papers, and put their hands on him without stating a lawful reason… every American should be paying attention.

I can’t wait to board my train to Kyiv.
I used to think Ukraine was the country at war and everywhere else was at peace.
It’s the opposite. Venice, Hungary, Davos, Ireland are all infiltrated with russian madness. Ukraine is the only place that takes the threat seriously. 🫡🙏

Ukraine has just struck a Russian defence plant with its new long-range FP-5 missiles and damaged keys bridges to Crimea. Things keep getting worse for Putin and Gerasimov. My Part 2 assessment of Russia's losing war and how Putin might reverse things. https://t.co/vzuvuK9PI3
