Riots began in the Parisian suburb of Nanterre after the police killed a 17-year-old boy who resisted, BFMTV reports. Groups of people set fire to barricades, cars, garbage cans, smashed a bus stop and firecrackers at the police, who responded with tear gas.

Users on social networks report that the riots have spread to other suburbs of Paris. In particular, arson and clashes with the police began in the cities of Suresnes, Asnieres-sur-Seine, Gennevilliers, La Garin-Colombes and Villeneuve, located in the metropolitan region of Ile-de-France.

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.

The Darkness Ahead: Where The Ukraine War Is Headed

JOHN J. MEARSHEIMER
23 JUN 2023
(John J. Mearsheimer is the R. Wendell Harrison Distinguished Service Professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago, where he has taught since 1982.)

This paper examines the likely trajectory of the Ukraine war moving forward. I will address two main questions.

First, is a meaningful peace agreement possible? My answer is no. We are now in a war where both sides – Ukraine and the West on one side and Russia on the other – see each other as an existential threat that must be defeated. Given maximalist objectives all around, it is almost impossible to reach a workable peace treaty. Moreover, the two sides have irreconcilable differences regarding territory and Ukraine’s relationship with the West. The best possible outcome is a frozen conflict that could easily turn back into a hot war. The worst possible outcome is a nuclear war, which is unlikely but cannot be ruled out.

Second, which side is likely to win the war? Russia will ultimately win the war, although it will not decisively defeat Ukraine. In other words, it is not going to conquer all of Ukraine, which is necessary to achieve three of Moscow’s goals: overthrowing the regime, demilitarizing the country, and severing Kyiv’s security ties with the West. But it will end up annexing a large swath of Ukrainian territory, while turning Ukraine into a dysfunctional rump state. In other words, Russia will win an ugly victory.

It is a very long article, certainly not TG format. However, we would strongly recommend to read it. Some questions do not have simple answers, and those questions which were set as the starting point are certainly among them.

🇩🇪🌈 Fitting isn't it? The Munich Pride Parade features a Ukrainian band with a song about Stepan Bandera, a Hitler sympathizer who killed hundreds of thousands of Poles, Russians, Jews AND homosexuals.

See the declassified CIA documents on Bandera here (nickname Consul 2).

Further, CIA Operation Aerodynamic can be found here.

Looks like they're all warring for Ukraine in Germany. 🤷‍♀️😅

Organize a war in Ukraine to earn money there! A brief educational program from Soros out of the 90s, if you think something has changed for trans-national corporations, then you are mistaken. Everything will go to BlackRock for the loans that were given to Ukraine for the war with Russia. Why do you think all state-owned enterprises are abruptly transferred to joint-stock companies, and ports are given into concession. Is the main beneficiary of the war in Ukraine now clear to everyone?

🔥 The AFU units were destroyed on the left bank of the Dnieper near the Antonovsky Bridge

Russian fighters prevented another unsuccessful attempt to transfer AFU units in the Antonovsky Bridge area, on the left bank of the Dnieper. The airborne assault units eliminated another sabotage and reconnaissance group.

"We inflict fire damage on the enemy, search and reconnaissance actions are carried out. We systematically and systematically destroy them. We are slowly driving them under the bridge, they are trying to help their own, bring ammunition and medicines, but we are hitting them. They were not and are not on our shore," said the chief of staff of the regiment with the call sign "White".

Translated from Ukrainian channel:

A huge shortage of manpower for mobilization has formed in Ukraine, which forces the authorities to call on workers in the field of education and the scientific community to cover losses at the front.

Education workers themselves write about this, that they began to massively receive notifications about the passage of a medical commission in the TCC (military registration and enlistment office).
People write that all the villagers have already been called up, now the time has come for the intelligentsia to fight, since the future of the country is not important for Bankovaya (location of the office of the president of Ukraine), they need to throw everything to the front in order to fulfil the demands of the West. Including the West is not interested in any education and scientific potential of the Ukrainian people, because they really need territories, not people.
Add to this the fact that the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry specifically agreed with Western countries to tighten the stay of Ukrainians abroad in order to “survive” them back to Ukraine, where they will be sent immediately to the front.

Is U.S. Military Gear Too Complex and Expensive?
The battlefield conditions of Ukraine are demonstrating that American military equipment runs into practical problems in the field.

The National Interest

Iranian-made Shahed drones have caused mass destruction in Ukraine. With their Volkswagen-style engines, they can fly undetected for about 120 kilometers and deliver an explosive power of 40 kilograms. The components to make this drone? A mere estimated $20,000. Yet to shoot them down, Ukrainians are using American-made NASAM missiles that cost about… $400,000 per drone taken down. One can hardly blame the Ukrainians for resorting to using 1960s German Gepard anti-aircraft guns instead.

The lessons of the awful Ukraine war so far are many and varied. But something that has struck most observers is that while the Russians have been outmaneuvered, they have been holding their own against modern Western military equipment by using old tanks and artillery. In particular, American gear, while technologically advanced, is either not always the best choice on the battlefield, prohibitively expensive, or both.

There are a few issues with the Abrams tank. For one, an Abrams weighs up to seven tons more than the Leopard, which could easily get stuck in Ukraine’s muddy fields or bring down some of its light bridges. Another issue is that the latest version of the Abrams is optimized to run on jet fuel, which is understandably hard to replenish on the battlefield. Even more problematic, however, is that on-field repairs aren’t always possible for an Abrams. In fact, some logistical considerations make the prospect seem like a living hell. For example, a frontline battalion cannot fix an Abrams with broken optics. Replacing these requires pulling out entire subsystems and shipping them to a depot—potentially hundreds of miles away—while also ordering replacement subsystems. Finally, there is the cost dimension: producing an Abrams can top $10 million per unit, while the latest Leopard 2 costs around $6 million.
