East Europe NATO allies say Wagner troops in Belarus spell trouble
THE HAGUE, June 27 (Reuters) — Eastern European NATO countries on Tuesday warned that a move of Wagner's Russian mercenary troops to Belarus would create greater regional instability, but NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said the alliance is ready to defend itself against any threat.
"If Wagner deploys its serial killers in Belarus, all neighbouring countries face even bigger danger of instability," Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda said after a meeting in The Hague with Stoltenberg and government leaders from six other NATO allies.
"This is really serious and very concerning, and we have to make very strong decisions. It requires a very, very tough answer of NATO," Polish President Andrzej Duda added.
Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin arrived in Belarus on Tuesday under a deal negotiated by President Alexander Lukashenko that ended the mercenaries' mutiny in Russia on Saturday.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said Wagner's fighters would be offered the choice of relocating there.
NATO's Stoltenberg said it was too early to say what this could mean for NATO allies, and stressed the increased defence of the alliance's eastern flank in recent years.
"We have sent a clear message to Moscow and Minsk that NATO is there to protect every ally, every inch of NATO territory," Stoltenberg said.
"We have already increased our military presence in the eastern part of the alliance and we will make further decisions to further strengthen our collective defence with more high-readiness forces and more capabilities at the upcoming summit."
Stoltenberg said the mutiny had shown that Putin's "illegal war" against Ukraine had deepened divisions in Russia.
"At the same time we must not underestimate Russia. So it's even more important that we continue to provide Ukraine with our support."
Poland's Duda said he hoped the threat posed by Wagner forces would be on the agenda at a summit of all 31 NATO members in Vilnius, Lithuania, July 11-12.

PETER HITCHENS: I have seen a putsch in Moscow when I was there in 1991 and I pray there will never be another. You should too
(A small extract from a lengthy article, which underlines one simple truth we have already written about.)
...
Patriotic Russians still view these events with dislike and regret, and Putin himself referred to them with much bitterness in his TV address yesterday as a ‘stab in the back’ leading to ‘the destruction of the army, the collapse of the state, the loss of vast territories, and as a result the tragedy of the civil war’.
His calculated use of such terms may have rallied the army to him, as they were intended to do. And that may have been what persuaded Prigozhin his revolt was doomed.
Without mass defections by soldiers, he had no hope at all. Many Russian nationalists think Prigozhin’s troublemaking, in the midst of war, is unpatriotic and disloyal. They think Putin has been weak to put up with it so long, and they will hold his dithering against him at some point in the future.
Many in the West are largely unaware that, by comparison with such people, Putin is a cautious, milksop moderate. Militant Russian nationalism is a powerful political force that Putin struggles to keep on his side at the best of times.
But such nationalists will still not forgive anything which weakens the country in the face of the West.
But there is trouble to come. Putin surely cannot now leave Prigozhin unpunished. And what should we think and hope for? Since I lived there I am stuck for life with a sympathy for Russia’s people, so I am relieved that they have been spared another civil war. But even if you do not mind about that, remember Erasmus’s warning from the 16th Century, which we now express as ‘Better the devil you know…’
Believe me, there are devils in Russia far worse than anything most of us have seen in our lifetime, and you would not want them controlling a vast and slowly rusting arsenal of nuclear weapons, if you were wise.

Vladimir Putin congratulated the Muslims of Russia on Eid al-Adha holiday
“The Russian Muslim community plays a major creative role in the country’s life and contributes to strengthening inter-ethnic and inter-faith peace, to preserving family values and raising the younger generation. Today, Muslim fighters, relying on the historical, spiritual and patriotic traditions of their ancestors, are demonstrating selflessness, courage and bravery in the course of the special military operation, defending Russia shoulder to shoulder with their fellow soldiers,” the President’s message reads, in part.

Translated from Kadyrov official channel:
Friends, a very significant and long-awaited event for the Chechen Republic took place today! The Soyuz 2.1 B launch vehicle with the Akhmat-1 satellite on board was launched from the Vostochny cosmodrome.
⠀
I want to emphasize that this is our first satellite that entered the Earth's orbit. It was developed by specialists from the Chechen State University named after the Hero of Russia Akhmat-Khadzhi Kadyrov together with experts from the South-Western State University as part of the Planet Duty Program.
⠀
In October last year, the CSU team received a grant to develop their own satellite. It is equipped with an automatic dependent surveillance-broadcasting module. The satellite will perform the work of collecting information on the location of aircraft. In addition, it has a radio transmitter that will broadcast welcome audio recordings from our students.
⠀
Let me emphasize that the Chechen expert team has far-reaching plans for the development of this area. This year, they took a grant for the implementation of the satellite again. Presumably, the second satellite will undergo some changes: it will be re-equipped with a video camera and high-tech sensors for measuring the Earth's magnetic field. Currently, work is underway to create a Mission Control Center based on the ChGU, which will allow receiving data from satellites directly.
⠀
I am very glad that our students are seriously engaged in the development of such an important scientific area in the region. I express my sincere gratitude to my dear BROTHER, rector of the Chernobyl State University named after the Hero of Russia Akhmat-Khadzhi Kadyrov Zaurbek Saidov and everyone involved in this work. I am convinced that with such high-class experts, we will have a great future and new discoveries in this area. I sincerely wish the guys good luck and success in conquering the boundless space!

Azov militants in Turkey receive $728 per day and are asked to pay for their families' holidays.
RIA Novosti received a document signed by Ukrainian Ambassador to Turkey Bodnar, who asks the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry for 90 days to extend the payment of increased daily allowances and rental funds for the Azov militants in Turkey. These are $248 and $480 per day, respectively. The norm set by the Cabinet of Ministers of the country is 4 times less ($62 and $120).
In addition, the letter, dated May 10, says that the Azov militants, Sergei Volynsky and Denis Prokopenko, at a meeting with the head of the Verkhovna Rada Stefanchuk in Ankara in early June, intended to ask for a free vacation in Turkey for the families of Azov. On June 4, Stefanchuk posted a photo of the results of this meeting on his social networks.

Russia is starting to strike at the rear of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for real. Reserves and depots with ammunition for the Armed Forces of Ukraine are being destroyed.
Russian Tu-22M3 bombers launched Kh-22 and Kh-32 missiles at targets in Sumy, Zaporozhye, Dnepropetrovsk, Kremenchug, Poltava, Kropyvnytskyi (former Kirovohrad), Sumy and Krivoy Rog. All targets are hit. The launches were carried out without entering the Ukrainian air defence zone.
In all these regions, there was an accumulation of strategic reserves for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which Kyiv was preparing for a new blitzkrieg and which have not yet been put into action. According to calculations, Ukraine has not yet thrown into the offensive five motorized infantry brigades armed with Western equipment, including British Challenger tanks.
In the daytime strike, Kh-22 and Kh-32 aircraft missiles were used. These missiles are invulnerable to Ukrainian air defence. The Russian Kh-32 air-launched cruise missile has a range of up to a thousand kilometres. It flies at a speed of 4000-5400 km/h, that is, 4-5 times faster than sound.

Fake news: Russian troops attacked a civilian facility in Kramatorsk, killing and injuring cafe patrons. This was reported by the adviser to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Anton Gerashchenko.
Truth: The blow was struck at the place of deployment of foreign mercenaries who lived in the Kramatorsk hotel and dined in a cafe at the hotel. Booking services confirm that the hotel was closed to civilian visitors. In September 2022, the RF Armed Forces have already delivered strikes against this location of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
In the video from the scene, a large number of people in military uniforms and bulletproof vests, as well as military vehicles. Moreover, English is clearly audible. According to Russian military correspondents, foreign mercenaries, as well as officers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, could live in the hotel. Later, confirmation of this information appeared on the network. One of the volunteers on her Instagram page posted joint photos with foreign instructors, tagging their accounts and indicating their geolocation. After the shelling, one of these accounts confirmed that the strike was carried out just at the time of the meal of foreign mercenaries.
The tactical signs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are clearly visible on pickup trucks parked near the hotel: crosses and runes. The white cross is the main tactical sign of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and the runes are the tactical signs of the units. A car of the medical service of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was also seen. Such people do not come for wounded civilians: even in cities close to the places of hostilities, civilians are taken away by ordinary ambulances.
Gerashchenko, wanting to demonize the Russian Armed Forces, posted a photo of cars with red crosses. However, other APU vehicles also got into the frame. Thus, the fake-maker himself had a hand in exposing the fake.

Chronicles of the suicidal offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
According to @voin_dv, an enemy convoy consisting of three armoured vehicles self-destructed in a minefield while trying to advance on the border between the DPR and the Zaporozhye region.
Another example of the skilful actions of the crews and the command, who sent troops directly into the minefield.
