Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. I support Ukraine all day, every day. Russia will not stop, therefore it must be stopped.

High Representative Kaja Kallas will raise the issue of Aughinish Alumina when she meets with the Irish prime minister this week, her spokesperson confirms, calling it a matter of "concern".

The company is accused of sending the majority of its exports to Russian smelters.

"The enemy is attacking Kronstadt, oil refineries, the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum in black smoke, and trying to attack Moscow every day. We report that we captured the settlement of Shevchenko in the Kharkiv region, which had 0 inhabitants in 2022."

@JPLindsley 😆keep trying to get Candace and other to pay attention to your pro-Kremlin nonsense. It’s super helpful to the people of Ukraine. 🇺🇦

[hether beck @hethbeck]

@JPLindsley I never left. But you haven’t heard from me because I focus on relevant issues.

[hether beck @hethbeck]

@JPLindsley You’re such a disappointment. You could have actually been helpful to the cause you claim to support. Another guy desperately trying to become famous because no one loves him.

Trump wants the Strait of Hormuz open. Europe can help make that happen. General Sir Richard Shirreff, NATO’s former Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Europe, says there is a price for that assistance, and it is not a small one.

The deal Shirreff is describing is straightforward. Europe provides diplomatic support and a maritime stabilisation mission to reopen Hormuz. In return, the United States fully backs Ukraine against Russia, stops undermining NATO and honours its Article 5 commitments without qualification or complaint.

That is the leverage Europe has been sitting on without using it. Trump is stuck. Iran has him cornered in the Gulf, gas prices are wrecking his domestic approval numbers and he has no credible exit. He needs allies to help him out of the hole he dug. Europe can be those allies. But not for free.

The terms are not unreasonable. They are, in fact, exactly what the United States promised when its presidents still read the alliance documents. Full support for Ukraine. No more briefings against NATO burden-sharing. No more suggesting that Article 5 is conditional on payment. Just the commitments Washington already made, honoured as if they meant something.

Shirreff’s argument is that Europe has spent three months treating its leverage as a liability rather than an asset. The bases, the logistics, the drone expertise from Ukraine, the diplomatic legitimacy Trump craves internationally. All of it has been offered at no charge while the US simultaneously withdraws troops from Germany and threatens the alliance that underpins European security.

The war in Iran has changed the arithmetic. Trump needs a win. Europe can provide the scaffolding for one. The question is whether European leaders have the nerve to name their price before Trump finds another way out.

According to "dosye shpiona", the 6 June strike on the Russian Navy’s 15th Arsenal in Bolshaya Izhora, Leningrad Oblast, resulted in the loss of approximately 5,000 tons of stored munitions.

The destroyed stockpile reportedly consisted primarily of artillery ammunition and engineering munitions stored in above-ground hangars, which detonated after being hit. The source also reports two arsenal personnel killed in the attack.

Total collapse at russia's Sochi airport. Thousands of passengers have been stuck there ever since Friday's drone attack.

​What’s the matter? Is your own little war getting in the way of your travel plans? 😏

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Today, the Russians again struck the special territory around the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant. A “shahed” hit one of the buildings of the Centralized Spent Fuel Storage Facility. An extremely critical infrastructure facility – and an extremely vile Russian strike. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, the Ministry of Energy, and all our services are already working to ensure that each of our partners knows what has happened.

Russia deliberately struck this particular nuclear infrastructure facility. As of now, there are no readings exceeding normal background radiation levels. But there is certainly an increase in Russia’s brazenness, which long ago went off the charts. Ukrainian first responders extinguished the fire at this facility after the strike. And real new steps by the world are needed so that the Russians feel that this terrorist war of theirs is a blow to Russia itself.

Last night, there were also Russian strikes on other civilian facilities in 13 of our regions. In total, over the course of this past week, Russia launched 88 missiles, more than 3,250 attack drones, and around 1,800 guided aerial bombs against Ukraine. Pressure on Russia must be increased. Thank you to everyone who’s helping!

I am unbothered by this. To the point that my unbotheredness borders on giddiness.

With the catastrophic fuel situation in Crimea only getting worse, residents are now fleeing the penninsula with the sole purpose of purchasing gasoline, only to find hours long lines.

But at least there is some fuel, unlike on Crimea.
