Ukraine shot down Russian Kalibr cruise missiles. Then took them apart — board by board, component by component.
What Ukraine's Ministry of Defence @DefenceU found inside should be uncomfortable reading for Western regulators and sanctions enforcement agencies.
More than 80–90% of the guidance system electronics: foreign-made. Every part marked. Every manufacturer identified. 🧵👇
Strategic failure of Russia: Americans sharply criticized the Kremlin at the UN Security Council
“Rubio said, that the Russian invasion of Ukraine has become a strategic failure. Its refineries are burning. Moscow is unable to achieve its goals on the battlefield.
Escalation will not change this and will only increase the risk of deepening the catastrophe. This war must end immediately,” said the U.S. representative to the UN, Dan Negrea.
Ukrainian student Iryna Zabudko died in a hospital today.
She was severely injured during Russian attack on Kyiv on June 2nd.
Never forget. Never forgive.
Guys,
Every tourniquet, every bandage, every donation, large or small, has helped keep our medical point running and has directly supported the soldiers under our care.
This raffle is my way of giving back to the community that made it possible.
Every ticket helps support the continued care of wounded soldiers, and every participant has my sincere gratitude.

I had the honor of visiting the soldiers of the Skelia ("The Rock") Assault Regiment near the front line and presenting 150 state awards to the men and women who defend Ukraine every single day.
I also met with their commander, Yurii "The Rock" Harkavyi. What he has built — the spirit, the discipline, the cohesion of this unit — speaks for itself.
Standing before these people reminds you of something important: this war is not won by weapons alone. It is won by people who choose to stand together, no matter what. That unity, between soldiers, between Ukrainians, between Ukraine and its allies, is what keeps us going.
To every soldier of the Skelia Regiment: thank you; what you do matters. Ukraine sees you. The world should see you too.
Glory to Ukraine! Glory to Heroes! 🇺🇦
The Swedish government is exploring legal mechanisms to enable the State Treasury to forcibly take over private property owned by russian citizens located close to military facilities.
Stanislav Aleshchenko, who also holds a Cypriot passport, purchased a 600-square-meter house and plot of land on the shoreline of Muskö Island in the Stockholm archipelago in 2017, the newspaper Expressen reported.
The property sits on cliffs under which a secret underground naval base operated during the Cold War before being abandoned in 2004.
Swedish armed forces returned to the base in 2019.
Recently, Swedish media have reported that the russian Orthodox Church, which is closely tied to President Vladimir Putin’s Kremlin, has acquired property near Västerås Airport, an international airport outside Stockholm. The national security service, SÄPO, has warned of espionage activities in the area.

VON DER LEYEN: We propose, for the first time, to ban from entry into the European Union anyone who has served in Russian armed forces since the beginning of the war.
Europe stays off-limits for anyone who has participated in the invasion of Ukraine. As simple as that.
Zelenskyy: We are targeting the logistics, fuel and infrastructure that help Russia militarize Crimea.
Russia must feel the cost of this war. Victory comes when Russian society recognizes that war is a tragedy for themselves, and we are getting closer to that moment. 1/
“To have Ukraine in NATO, it’s in the interest of NATO” — Zelensky said as he urged faster sanctions and military aid, warning that delays only prolong Russia’s war.

Brick by brick, we are collapsing the foundations of Russia's war economy.
Today, we are presenting our proposals for a 21st sanctions package against Russia.
This includes a temporary freeze of the Russian oil price cap and designations of institutions used by Moscow to generate revenues and circumvent EU sanctions.
It will target banks, weapons manufacturers, oil traders, refineries, and crypto operators in third countries.
A 62-year-old Russian Lieutenant General was blown up in his car in Russia this morning, Russian Telegram channels report.
His name has not been disclosed yet, but if his rank is right, this will be the fourth successful liquidation of a Russian officer of such a high rank in the Russian rear.
Head of Russian FSB has reported earlier that security around high-ranking Russian officers has been increased.
Made it out of Ireland with 2 samples of Aughinish alumina powder to get tested.
It’s from two sources: at the refinery and from a worker who doesn’t want to be identified. He told me the biggest threat to his job is russian ownership and he wants it exposed & nationalised
