July 2024, Russia hit a children's hospital with precision weapons.
The world failed to respond, so they did it again, and will keep doing it until they are stopped.
@JohnHealey_MP Thank you for your service and public stand with you defence spending is priority that cannot be ignored at our own peril will cost lives if we get it wrong and Russia eg attacks us.
Where did the “savior of the Russian economy” disappear? Has Nabiullina decided to leave the sinking ship?
At a meeting with Putin where inflation and a possible key rate cut were discussed, Central Bank chief Elvira Nabiullina and her deputies were absent.
Nabiullina used to regularly attend such meetings, so her absence is noticeable.
She has not appeared in public for about a week. She also missed a speech at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum and a NAUFOR conference. The Central Bank said this is due to illness.
Did the “wise geopolitical strategist” decide to take inflation into his own hands? This is a rather troubling signal for the Russian economy, which is rapidly sliding into decline.
In Crimea, a spa hotel promised guests gasoline for booking, but closed the promotion due to a fuel shortage 🤣
On June 5th, the establishment in Saki announced the terms of the promotion, under which guests could receive 10 liters of gasoline for bookings of two days or more, and 20 liters for bookings of three days or more. The fuel was provided upon check-in at the visitor's request.
Four days after the start of the initiative, it was halted. Hotel representatives reported that they had distributed about 100 liters of fuel, after which the reserves ran out.
The international narrative surrounding ’peace negotiations’ is completely upside down:
It is Ukraine and the West that should be dictating demands to Russia, not the other way around.
Russia is the sole aggressor committing an active genocide, and it has zero right to issue conditions.
The harsh reality is that the West and Ukraine owe Russia absolutely nothing. Moscow launched this pathetic, insane war of choice, lied about it systematically before the invasion, continues to lie today, and will undeniably lie about it tomorrow. Entering any talks by catering to the perpetrator's conditions is a fundamental failure of international justice.
Furthermore, the strategic reality on the ground makes the Kremlin's posture laughably illegitimate. Russia is losing this war, its military momentum has stalled out, and its economy is fracturing under the weight of historical attrition. It is Ukraine and its Western allies who hold the true moral and strategic leverage to dictate terms, demanding full accountability, complete territorial withdrawal, and massive reparations from a regime that is 100% to blame for this catastrophe
🔥 Magyar: "We are isolating Crimea in the near future."
He also compared the strikes on Russian occupiers' vehicles on an unprotected highway to "hunting for partridges in an open field."
A Ukrainian strike on a military object in Sevastopol, Russian-occupied Crimea.
The attack destroyed Russian military equipment. Fire and detonation of ammunition present.
Cool!
Merz: "Ukraine has been defending its freedom for more than 4 years."
(AfD members laughing)
Merz: "That’s telling sign, ladies and gentlemen. They laugh about it, they laugh about fate of millions of people in Ukraine and they travel to Moscow for their champagne receptions."
I would like to thank the Princess of the Netherlands for inviting me to Florence to witness the opening of the European Archives. It’s great to be reminded of the importance of European ideas in the age of russian chaos. We are stronger together 🫡😉❤️

Prime Minister of Italy:
"Peace cannot be achieved through Ukraine's defeat or the surrender of its territories. That would be extremely dangerous for peace in Europe and a precedent for the entire world.
We will achieve peace only when Russia stops its aggression and withdraws its troops from Ukrainian territory."
It should be clear enough ..!🤷♀️
Сьогодні ми вперше відзначаємо День Сил безпілотних систем, і відтепер 11 червня щороку буде днем нашої вдячності воїнам СБС.
Без дронів неможливо вже уявити сучасну війну, і українські безпілотні системи успішно працюють на різних рівнях: від виконання завдань на фронті до ураження важливих об’єктів ворога за сотні кілометрів вглиб його території. Все це фіксується, і саме завдяки точності та майстерності наших операторів втрати Росії вже давно перейшли за 30 тисяч вбитих і поранених на місяць.
Дякую кожному й кожній, хто служить у Силах безпілотних систем, хто розвиває українські технології та працює заради нашої переваги на полі бою. Дякую всім, хто робить так, щоб можливості Росії ставали меншими і щоб нашої безпеки було більше.
Today, for the first time, we mark the Day of the Unmanned Systems Forces, and from now on, each year, June 11 will be a day of our gratitude to the warriors of the Unmanned Systems Forces.
Modern warfare can no longer be imagined without drones, and Ukrainian unmanned systems are operating successfully at different levels: from carrying out missions on the frontline to striking important enemy facilities hundreds of kilometers deep inside its territory. All of this is being documented, and it is thanks to the precision and skill of our operators that Russia’s losses have long exceeded 30,000 killed and wounded per month.
I thank each and every person serving in the Unmanned Systems Forces, developing Ukrainian technologies, and working for the sake of our advantage on the battlefield. Thank you to everyone who is working to reduce Russia’s capabilities and strengthen our security.
Відзначив державними нагородами воїнів Сил безпілотних систем ЗСУ, передав орден «Золота Зірка» родині загиблого Героя, удостоєного цього звання посмертно, та вручив підрозділам бойові прапори.
Сили безпілотних систем – одне з найбільших досягнень України – те, що доводить українське лідерство в технологіях і у збереженні життів завдяки технологіям. Кількість уражених російських цілей завдяки нашим СБС ЗСУ – вже сотні тисяч на рік, і тільки за минулий рік відсьогодні – червень до червня – це більш ніж 356 тисяч уражених російських цілей.
Дякую вам! Пишаюся кожним і кожною, хто служить в СБС, від солдатів та сержантів до Мадяра та всіх командирів. І обовʼязково памʼятаємо кожного українського воїна, який своє життя віддав, щоб Україна могла жити і бути незалежною та сильною.
I presented state awards to warriors of the Unmanned Systems Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, handed over the Order of the Golden Star to the family of a fallen Hero who was awarded this title posthumously, and presented combat flags to the units.
The Unmanned Systems Forces are one of Ukraine’s greatest achievements – proof of Ukrainian leadership in technology and in saving lives through technology. The number of Russian targets struck thanks to our Unmanned Systems Forces already reaches hundreds of thousands per year, and over the past year alone – from June to June – it amounts to more than 356,000 Russian targets struck.
Thank you! I am proud of every man and woman serving in the Unmanned Systems Forces – from soldiers and sergeants to Magyar and all commanders. And we always remember every Ukrainian warrior who gave their life so that Ukraine can live and remain independent and strong.
Fuel shortages are rapidly spreading across Russia.
The kilometre-long lines at fuel stations which started in Crimea are now being seen in Novorossiysk.
We're not even halfway through June. Peak driving season has barely started.
It will keep getting worse. Much, much worse.
Ukraine could have surrendered in 2014. But we didn’t.
Ukraine could have surrendered in 2022. But we didn’t.
And we could surrender now. But we will not.
We. Are. Ukrainians. We will not surrender.
I do not feel comfortable to say a word in defense of Trump's actions, but he should not be blamed for killing NATO. He has buried it, but the alliance effectively died when Obama in 2014 and, especially, Biden in 2022 refused to unleash its power to stop naked Russian aggression against free Europe -- the only purpose this organization was formed for back in 1949.
