What's up Western media? You OK?

🇺🇦🇬🇧The UK is concerned about the death sentence for British mercenaries in the DPR.

This was stated by Foreign Minister Liz Truss during a conversation with the press.

"We consider them prisoners of war and will work on their release through Kiev," the minister said.

Those sentenced to execution — Sean Pinner and Aiden Aslin were accused of mercenary activities. Both have already appealed to Prime Minister Johnson about the exchange.

However, they were refused, because "they should not have been in Ukraine" and in general "Kiev should be engaged in their release.

Situation in northern Kharkiv Region as at 19:00 on June 9, 2022

▪️ The AFU continues regrouping its forces for a new offensive attempt to reach the Russian border. Additional units arrived in Udy, Odnorobovka and Konstantinovka as part of the rotation. Several howitzers were moved to Shestakovo.

▪️ Additional MANPADs were delivered to the villages of Petrovka and Cherkasskiye Tishki, and Western-made SAM systems are being prepared in Slatino. In the Komsomolskoye Lake area, fighters of the "Kraken" national battalion organized training for volunteers to join their ranks.

▪️ Nevertheless, so far the AFU has not succeeded in its offensive actions: another attempt to storm the long-suffering Ternovoye and Varvarovka ended unsuccessfully. During the counterattack, the Russian Armed Forces repulsed Ukrainian units from both villages.

▪️Russian artillery and missile forces continued to strike targets and places of concentration of AFU manpower. Targets in Udy, Cherkaskiye Tishki, Svetlichne and Zolochiv were hit. During the night, the previously identified positions of the anti-tank division of the 92nd brigade in the Novobavarskiy district of Kharkiv were destroyed.

▪️Ukrainian armed formations continue shelling Russian territory: today several shells fell in the border settlement of Khotmyzhsk in the Belgorod region. There were no casualties, several houses suffered material damage.

🇪🇺🇺🇦News of European Unity.

Denmark and the Netherlands oppose granting EU candidate status to Ukraine, Bloomberg writes.

Diplomats are confused by the insufficient level of democracy and the rule of law in Ukraine .

There are also questions about human rights and the protection of minorities, the newspaper reports.

But Germany offers to give Ukraine a kind of "conditional candidate status."

💬 Russia's President Vladimir Putin on sovereignty in today's rapidly changing world:

We live in an era of change. Geopolitical, scientific and technological transformations are happening. The world is changing, and it is doing so rapidly.

In order to claim some kind of leadership – any country, any people, any ethnic group should ensure their sovereignty.

Because there is no in-between, no intermediate state: either a country is sovereign, or it is a colony, no matter what the colonies are called.

I am not going to give any examples so as not to offend anyone, but if a country or a group of countries is not able to make sovereign decisions, then it is already a colony to a certain extent. But a colony has no historical prospects, no chance for survival in this tough geopolitical struggle.

(excerpt from President Putin's meeting with young entrepreneurs, engineers and scientists ahead of the St.Petersburg International Economic Forum).

Reuters once again proved the "absence of Nazis" in Ukraine.

Claimed to be fake.

Фейк индустрия в России растёт‼️

Сегодня многие Телеграм-каналы перепостили якобы приказ о женской Мобилизации в Украине. На лицо качественное улучшение фейк-контента. После наших прошлых замечаний в РФ наконец выучили:
✅ кто является начальником Генерального Штаба ВСУ,
✅ что Александрович на украинском пишется через «О» и т.д,
✅ научились писать без жестких стилистических ошибок.

Однако, все равно есть пара моментов, указывающих на фейк:

❌ упоминание потерь как причины пополнения (неестественно),
❌ неестественные цифры номера Приказа и даты (в оригиналах другой шрифт).

Кроме того. Возникает вопрос, почему мобилизация касается только областей Юго-Востока? Почему не по всей стране ⁉️
