ZELENSKYY: Russia losing more than 30,000 soldiers killed or wounded per month.

Our long-range strikes on Russian logistics, oil refining, military production also very effective.

Russian budget full of holes. We need to keep up pressure and bring Russia onto diplomatic track.

⚔️ Zelensky: Russia will feel the war at home

According to the Ukrainian president, Russia launches around 650 drones and between 35 and 100 missiles every day.

Ukraine currently responds with roughly 300–350 drones, but the scale of its strikes could increase over time.

“Russia understands that if it keeps launching 600 drones and missiles, it will feel this war just as we do,” Zelensky said.

Ursula von der Leyen:

"We propose for the first time to ban from entry into the EU anyone who has served in the Russian Armed Forces since the beginning of the war. So, Europe stays off-limits for anyone who has participated in the invasion of Ukraine.
As simple as that."

Comment from me: there already will be a lot of Russian "SMO" soldiers in EU countries. For their own safety, they should be sent home.

BREAKING: YES! New polling reveals that Democrat James Talarico has pulled ahead of MAGA freak Ken Paxton in the Texas Senate race.

Republicans are officially in full-blown panic mode...

According to a survey conducted by the Texas Pulse, 47% of respondents said that they would vote for Talarico while 44% said they'd vote for Paxton. 2% said they'd support a different candidate. Given the fact that Texas is touted as a bastion of conservative sentiment, this is a remarkable lead for Talarico.

And Paxton is a remarkably bad candidate, even by the subterranean standards of the Trump era. He was impeached by his own party for taking bribes as state attorney general. In addition to being a literal crook, he's an immoral philanderer and his wife divorced him for adultery. He previously said that the horrific Uvalde school shooting — during which 21 people died and 18 others were injured — was just "part of God's plan."

“Call me old-fashioned, but a man takes responsibility,” Talarico, taking aim at his opponent. “He upholds his commitments to his family and his neighbors, and he does what’s right even when no one is watching.”

Meanwhile, Talarico himself is a devout Christian with a sterling record of standing up for working class people as a member of the Texas House of Representatives. He represents the sane, upstanding choice compared to Paxton's blatant criminality.

It's clear that Republicans are floundering here. Lacking any legitimate avenue of attack against Talarico, they've resorted to falsely claiming that he's "transgender," insulting his masculinity, and spreading AI videos depicting him saying things that he's never said. They have nothing to run on and Texans will see right through their pathetic smear campaign.

Please ❤️ and share if you're rooting for James Talarico!

🚨WE GOT UNDER TRUMP'S SKIN!

Today, the White House said I have "severe brain damage" because Call to Activism discovered the clip seen around the world of Donald Trump apparently sleeping at the Knicks game.

What started as a few seconds of video became a national story, generated millions of views, and got so far under Trump's skin that the White House felt compelled to respond.

Here's the wild story of how it happened:

In Tallinn today. Ahead of the Ukraine – Nordic-Baltic Summit, I met with the Prime Minister of Finland, @PetteriOrpo.

We discussed the work in Europe to develop anti-ballistic defense capabilities, as well as the preparation of an agreement in the Drone Deal format. The teams are working, and the main thing is that there be more protection in Europe. Special attention was given to our needs in strengthening air defense, security challenges in the region, and diplomatic work to achieve a dignified peace. I informed the Prime Minister about our contacts with Europeans and Americans.

I am grateful to the Government, the people, and all of Finland for supporting Ukraine – above all, for all the military packages and contributions to the PURL initiative. Importantly, Finland is ready to continue helping.

RAJU: But what evidence is there to prove the California election is rigged?

MIKE JOHNSON: Look, some of these efforts are so diabolical and so far upstream it's impossible to prove. But I think everybody knows instinctively that something is wrong here.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

There are different people around Putin. Half of them want to continue this war and the other half want to stop it. Businessmen understand that the Russian economy is in a terrible situation.

If Western countries – Europe, Canada, and the U.S. – don’t lift their sanctions, put more pressure on the Russian shadow fleet and other sectors, and Ukraine stays strong on the battlefield, then we will be closer to peace.

I told this businessman, who came to deliver the message about a potential framework of diplomatic negotiations, that we were ready to speak from the very beginning. We didn't want this war, and we want to stop it.

Yesterday I told the journalists that in Anchorage, Russia and the U.S. decided to speak about Ukraine without Ukraine. It was a mistake, especially for America, because Putin weakened the U.S. position. I think he was lying to the President of the United States.

Anyway, we are ready to speak, but we won’t give up our territory.

🚨REPUBLICANS HAVE A NEW REASON TO PANIC IN TEXAS

Republican Rep. Monica De La Cruz has allegedly accepted money from an insurance agent who was involved in a scheme that diverted hundreds of thousands of dollars from taxpayers. 

One state investigator didn't mince words: Those involved "stole money from the citizens" and disguised it as legitimate fees.

Monica De La Cruz is supposed to represent the people of South Texas, not surround herself with people accused of ripping them off.

Locking content to the region where it was created is the worst thing this platform could do to Ukrainians (which I can't prove is happening, but it certainly feels that way).

We are already fully aware that we are being bombed, we see russian atrocities every single day. We need to get the word out, not in, and we need to get help in from the world's democracies.

​Please help Ukrainians you follow fight the algorithm by interacting with our content, especially when we post about Russian war crimes.

📉 A sharp turn on the battlefield. Russia is starting to lose ground

According to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), Ukraine liberated more territory in May than Russia managed to capture.

Russian forces occupied or pushed into roughly 40 square kilometers, but lost control of nearly 280 square kilometers.

Moreover, some of Russia’s reported “advances” were merely temporary infiltrations by small assault groups that failed to hold the territory they entered.

The cost of every kilometer is also soaring. While last autumn Russia was losing about 67 soldiers per square kilometer gained, by May that figure had climbed to nearly 200.

Meanwhile, Putin continues to claim that Russian forces are advancing every day.

He just doesn’t specify in which direction.
