The accusation of Russia in preparation of a sabotage at ZaNPP is distracting the masses literally from everything (the offensive stalled, they don’t take them to NATO, life becomes more expensive, losses and cemeteries are growing, negativity is growing in the west, etc.).

Also, this story from scratch draws attention to the Ukrainian crisis. All the world's media immediately write about Ukraine and interview Zelensky, and he really loves attention and PR.

As the source said: “If you want to attract attention to yourself and get all the world leaders to call you, come up with an impending Armageddon.”

Plus, this is an attempt by Bankova (Ukrainian presidential office) to provoke a panic among the civilian population in the Russian Federation, as well as to artificially create a negative image of the Russian Federation in the West.

In the meantime, you don't have to do anything. Just scream louder than anyone about the "nuclear explosion" and blame your opponent.

Ukrainians in this game are just "guinea pigs".

According to Turkish sources, in the Zaporizhzhie region, Ukraine launched new strikes in the Orekhov and Lobkove yesterday, but there were no changes in the front line. Attacks continue in the direction of Bakhmut.

The biggest change took place in the area of the Antonovsky bridge. The Ukrainian army on boats retreated to the right bank of the river. The two-week battle ended with the loss of about 1,000 people and a wave of excitement on social networks.

Over the past week, Russia has destroyed various air defence systems, radars, artillery and MLRS systems that were deployed to the east to protect Ukrainian troops in the Kherson region with the help of Lancet loitering ammunition, and on top of that, destroyed Ukrainian positions under and around the Antonovsky Bridge with "Iskander" missile and TOS-1A (heavy flame-thrower).

“Nothing good will happen,” ex-adviser to Kuchma advised Ukrainians to leave the country

Residents of Ukraine should leave the country in the summer, Oleg Soskin, ex-adviser to Kuchma, said on his YouTube blog.

“Nothing good will happen. Now summer is ahead — adapt. Summer will run quickly, autumn will be terrible,” he said.

Soskin added that the Armed Forces of Ukraine will not succeed with a counteroffensive, since “they have nothing to attack with” — there are no planes, no missiles, no cluster charges, not even attack drones.

According to the politician, Zelensky needs to sign a ceasefire agreement with Russia, conclude a truce and start preparing Ukraine for new presidential elections.

On June 4, the counter-offensive, long promised by the Kyiv regime, began in the South Donetsk, Zaporozhye and Artyomovsk directions. The Ukrainian command threw into battle brigades trained by NATO and armed with Western equipment. However, they suffer heavy losses and during this time have not achieved success in any direction.

"Russia has no reason to blow up nuclear power plants under its own control. Ukraine is going to blow up a nuclear power plant to accelerate the conflict to a full-scale declaration of war with the change of the NATO regime. Evil. Insidious. Transparent. Suicidal." — American political commentator Benny Johnson

Ukraine Promises Inquiry into Banned Landmine Use
Additional Evidence Underscores Need for Prompt, Thorough Investigation, Accountability

(Kiev, June 30, 2023) – The Ukrainian government should act on its expressed commitment not to use banned antipersonnel landmines, investigate its military’s use of these weapons, and hold those responsible to account, Human Rights Watch said today. The government statement, at a June 21, 2023 meeting of the Mine Ban Treaty in Geneva, came nearly five months after Ukrainian officials said they would examine reports by Human Rights Watch and other groups that Ukraine’s forces used these weapons in operations to retake territory occupied by Russian forces.

Since publishing a report in January, Human Rights Watch has uncovered additional evidence regarding Ukrainian use of these indiscriminate weapons during 2022.

“The Ukrainian government’s pledge to investigate its military’s apparent use of banned antipersonnel mines is an important recognition of its duty to protect civilians,” said Steve Goose, arms director at Human Rights Watch. “A prompt, transparent, and thorough inquiry could have far-reaching benefits for Ukrainians both now and for future generations.”

Since the start of its full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, Russian forces have used at least 13 types of antipersonnel mines in multiple areas across Ukraine, killing and injuring civilians. Human Rights Watch has published four reports documenting Russian forces’ use of antipersonnel landmines in Ukraine since 2022. Russia, which has not joined the Mine Ban Treaty, violates international humanitarian law when using antipersonnel mines because they are inherently indiscriminate weapons.

Human Rights Watch reported on January 31 numerous cases in which Ukrainian forces fired rockets carrying thousands of PFM-1 antipersonnel mines, also called “petal” or “butterfly” mines, into Russia-occupied areas in and around the eastern Ukrainian city of Izium between April and September 2022. Human Rights Watch verified 11 civilian casualties from the mines, including one death and multiple amputations of lower legs, based on interviews with victims and their family members. In a statement issued the day the report was released, the Ukrainian government committed to “duly study” the report.

#TransFormatorBuzzes : 💤
The practice of using those mines by Ukrainians has existed for a long time, and if an organization that is extremely dependent on Washington’s policy pays close attention to this not for the first time, it means that someone needs it. At the same time, it is doubtful that such a confession will be followed by statements that the West has been wrong all the years and that Russia does not shell itself, and that the Kiev regime is criminal and should be punished.

It is likely that this precedent is another wake-up call to Kyiv: the owner is dissatisfied. Given that the Americans have recently voiced their desire to count the funds spent on maintaining the regime in Ukraine, there is no doubt that the White House is dissatisfied.

From Ukrainian channel:
Mobilization is increasing every month. There are two reasons.
1. Large losses at the front and it is necessary to replenish the reserves with new soldiers.
2. Ukrainians massively declared a quiet mobilization noncompliance. The anti-rating of the mobilization case reaches 96%. In fact, people refuse to die for those in power and their goals. Therefore, it is necessary to have time to catch the remnants before they unite against the authorities.

Our source explains that the authorities are faced with another problem of forcing Ukrainians to fight. More and more men are caught, they choose a criminal record and even a “term” (in jail), instead of being cut down to “zero” in a meat grinder, where headquarter rats will burry you in order to save their asses and earn corrupt earnings.

The source points out why forced mobilization by region is introduced gradually from region to region. If introduced everywhere, then the country will not physically have enough space where to "plant" (in jail) everyone who refused. There aren't enough prisons for everyone. It will also provoke the domino principle, when one starts to refuse, and then another, and then thousands. It will be a disaster for Zelensky's policy.

The price of the counteroffensive: two brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine lost 60% of the personnel, — Khodakovsky

Deputy Head of the Russian Guard for the DPR on the enemy offensive on the Vremevsky ledge at the junction of Zaporozhye and the DPR:

"Two brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which since the beginning of the counteroffensive, have rammed our sector, are being withdrawn for replenishment. According to information, no more than forty percent of the personnel remained in one of them. Of course, they will be replenished by those who were caught on streets. Here it is the price of the counteroffensive and the result of our difficult perseverance. Yes, it is also hard on us — but what I said works: if we fight, we don’t run, the enemy dies."

A symbolic photograph of a serviceman of the Armed Forces of Ukraine during a bogged down offensive. Reminds me of another picture taken exactly 40 years ago in the Kursk region.

Surprisingly accurately, the Minister of Defence of Ukraine voiced the attitude of the current Kiev authorities towards their country:

“Western allies can actually see if their weapons are working, how effective they are and whether they need to be upgraded,” Reznikov said surprisingly candidly. “You can’t imagine a better training ground for the military industry of the world.”

I would pay attention to this statement not even by soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but by their wives and mothers — your men are sent for slaughter as part of tests of Western weapons. This was officially announced by the head of your Ministry of Defence.

Exclusive: The CIA's Blind Spot about the Ukraine War
The Newsweek

...
"What is happening off the battlefield is now most important," says the official, who was granted anonymity in order to speak candidly. "Both sides pledge to limit their actions, but it falls to the United States to enforce those pledges. This all hinges on the quality of our intelligence."

"There is a clandestine war, with clandestine rules, underlying all of what is going on in Ukraine," says a Biden administration senior intelligence official who also spoke with Newsweek. The official, who is directly involved in Ukraine policy planning, requested anonymity to discuss highly classified matters. The official (and numerous other national security officials who spoke to Newsweek) say that Washington and Moscow have decades of experience crafting these clandestine rules, necessitating that the CIA play an outsize role: as primary spy, as negotiator, as supplier of intelligence, as logistician, as wrangler of a network of sensitive NATO relations and perhaps most important of all, as the agency trying to ensure the war does not further spin out of control.

"Don't underestimate the Biden administration's priority to keep Americans out of harm's way and reassure Russia that it doesn't need to escalate," the senior intelligence officer says. "Is the CIA on the ground inside Ukraine?" he asks rhetorically. "Yes, but it's also not nefarious."

Newsweek has examined in depth the scale and scope of the CIA's activities in Ukraine, especially in light of growing Congressional questions about the extent of U.S. aid and whether President Biden is keeping his pledge not to have "boots on the ground." Neither the CIA nor the White House would give specific responses for confirmation, but they asked that Newsweek not reveal the specific locations of CIA operations inside Ukraine or Poland, that it not name other countries involved in the clandestine CIA efforts and that it not name the air service that is supporting the clandestine U.S. logistics effort. After repeated requests for an on-the-record comment, the CIA declined. Neither the Ukrainian nor Russian governments responded to requests for comment.

Over the course of its three-month investigation, Newsweek spoke to over a dozen intelligence experts and officials. Newsweek also sought out contrary views. All of the credible experts and officials Newsweek spoke to agreed that the CIA has been successful in discreetly playing its part in dealing with Kyiv and Moscow, in moving mountains of information and materiel and in dealing with a diverse set of other countries, some of whom are quietly helping while also trying to stay out of Russia's crosshairs. And they didn't dispute that on the CIA's main task—knowing what's going on in the minds of the leaders of Russia and Ukraine—the Agency has had to struggle.

"The CIA is actively involved in the war, without violating the Biden administration's basic promise that the US military will not participate directly in the conflict" - Newsweek

The main thing from the investigation about the work of the CIA in Ukraine:

▪️The CIA employees are constantly present in Ukraine, but their activities are strictly regulated, and the number is limited.

▪️Their tasks include working with weapons, communicating with the Ukrainian special services, and monitoring so that "the situation does not go beyond certain limits."

▪️The CIA oversees significant amounts of American military aid to Kiev, which are kept secret.

▪️The special service is not only working to help Ukraine (mainly by transmitting intelligence), but is also trying to find out the true plans of Zelensky and Putin.
