Indian Foreign Minister Jaishankar at a security conference in Bratislava:

"It's time for Europe to abandon the following belief: 'European problems are the problems of the whole world, but the problems of the whole world - Europe does not care about'

"The U.S. Government put me on all of their terrorist watchlists at the request of the FBI and CIA. That gives you a sense of how totalitarian the U.S. Government has become. They could not care less about the constitution and the rule of law.

This whole thrust of "domestic terrorism" is simply designed to target anyone that questions anything the government of the United States of America is doing against its own citizens, like me.

This push is really designed to deal with dissidents who will not accept the party line coming out of Washington D.C. like on the COVID frankenshot mandates." Dr. Francis Boyle

⚡️Testimonies of local residents and monks in liberated Svyatogorsk, Donetsk People's Republic, confirm that Ukrainian nationalists deliberately set fire to the wooden skete of All Saints' of the Russian Land on June 5.

▫️According to eyewitnesses, as early as June 2, the Ukrainian military arrived at the territory of the Svyatogorsk Historical and Architectural Reserve, located south of the city across the river.

▫️The aim was to survey the area for the placement of artillery positions by the AFU on the high bank where the architectural reserve is located. The equipment of these positions would have allowed direct fire on Russian troops on the other side of the river.

▫️Here, they also planned to defend the bridge over the Seversky Donets River, which had already been blown up by the nationalists on June 6.

▫️Knowing well that Russian servicemen do not shell places of worship and cultural monuments, the Ukrainian nationalists hoped to shield themselves behind the Orthodox shrines of Lavra as their "shield".

▫️The insolence of the Ukrainian nationalists has angered local residents. They demanded that the military withdraw from Lavra to prevent its destruction.

▫️By June 4, during the fighting in Svyatogorsk, the Ukrainian army had already lost control of most of the city.
So the retreating nationalists organised a monstrous provocation.

▫️According to local residents, a large-calibre machine gun mounted on an armoured vehicle set fire to the newly built wooden wooden skete of All Saints' of the Russian Land in 2009 with a burst of incendiary ammunition.

▫️It was not only the monks who tried unsuccessfully to put out the burning skete, but also the members of the local territorial defence who came to help them. The nationalists prevented this by firing intimidating shots.

▫️Despite the hostilities in Svyatogorsk, there has been no damage to historical and Orthodox monuments on the territory of the Holy Dormition Svyatogorsk Lavra by Russian servicemen.

▫️Footage of the current state of the cultural, historical, architectural and orthodox monument of Svyatogorsk Lavra is brought to everyone's attention.

▫️Thus, Zelensky with his statements about Russia's allegedly conscious destruction of Ukraine's cultural heritage and his demands to expel Russia from UNESCO and the UN for this once again lied not only to the Ukrainian people but also to the entire international community.

❗️The Russian Armed Forces continue the special operation to liberate Donbass, preventing shelling or possible damage to historical and cultural heritage sites.

▫️The values of the Ukrainian Nazis in Kiev are the opposite of the historical values of the Orthodox people of Ukraine.

▫️There is and can be no future for the current Kiev regime's criminal anti-Christian policy in Ukraine.

Beautiful!

Former US Marine Colonel and Virginia state senator Richard Black notes numerous categories of targets Russia is not hitting.

They are so happy in the video 🤗

Yesterday, all evening in the Ukrainian social networks there was a joyful squealing over the downed "Russian Su fighter".... 🥳

as often happened before, soon enough the "peremoga" (victory) turned into a "zrada" (failure)...☹️

Seems like they shot down own fighter jet... That explains why he was flying so casually, not high enough to avoid MANPADS, and not low - usual tactic to avoid other, more serious air defense systems - seems he wasn't expecting to be fired upon in friendly territory

YALTA, June 6 - RIA Novosti. More than 70,000 applications for Russian passports have been filed in the Zaporozhye region, and the process of obtaining them will be accelerated, said Vladimir Rogov, a member of the main council of the military-civilian administration of the region.
"People do not have time physically. Work goes on all working hours and even a little more. Moreover, among those who wish, a significant part, if not the majority, are young people. It cannot be said that only pensioners want to go to Russia. We want to be with Russia, we want to be in Russia, we want to be Russia," he said.

According to him, people are queueing for eight to nine hours a day. According to the decree of President Vladimir Putin, the procedure for obtaining Russian citizenship for residents of the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions of Ukraine has been greatly simplified. They do not need to hand over a Ukrainian passport, it is enough to provide a copy of it. After filling out the documents, they are sent to Russia for a special check, and after two or three months the applicant can become a citizen.

YALTA, June 6 - RIA Novosti. About 80% of the population of the Zaporozhye region want to unite with the Russian Federation, said a member of the council of the military-civilian administration of the region Vladimir Rogov.
“There is no doubt that we will return to our native harbour. This is what all the public polls on the liberated territory of the Zaporozhye region tells. Among all people, about 80% already answer “yes”. So far 15% are evading the answer, and 5% say “no.” We we see that the dynamics is going on," Rogov told reporters.

According to him, the reunification of the Zaporozhye region with Russia is inevitable.
"I am sure, and we all know that this process is irreversible, and we will all be together," Rogov stressed.
During the special operation, the Russian military took control of the Kherson region and the Azov part of the Zaporozhye region in southern Ukraine. Civil-military administrations have been formed in the regions, Russian TV channels and radio stations have begun broadcasting, and trade ties with Crimea are being restored. The liberated regions announced plans to become citizens of the Russian Federation.

Black Sea Grain Deal
Russia and Turkey offer corridor to ship crops from Odesa port

Turkey and Russia have reached a tentative deal to restart shipments of Ukraine’s agricultural products from a key Black Sea port, but Kyiv remains sceptical of the proposed pact, according to people familiar with the discussions.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s government has offered military help to clear mines off the coast of Odesa and escort grain ships but Ukraine has yet to endorse the plan, worried that removing defences could leave the vital port open to Russian attack, the people said, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss matters that aren’t yet public. Turkey hopes that a United Nations endorsement of the proposal could allay security concerns, the people said.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Kyiv wasn’t invited to talks on the deal set for Ankara this week. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, who is scheduled to visit the Turkish capital Wednesday for discussions, said Monday he’s optimistic that military officials can work out a solution.

The Kremlin’s invasion has cut off shipments of grain and other farm products from Ukraine, threatening millions of people in its traditional markets with food shortages. Moscow has denied responsibility for the disruption but demanded relief from US and European sanctions limiting its exports of fertilizer and agricultural products.

Ukraine at its allies blame Russia for blocking shipments. Zelenskiy said as much as 25 million tons of grain are now stuck without export routes, a figure that could triple by the autumn. He said Kyiv is seeking assurances that its ports will be protected from Russian attack once mines are removed.

“The most firm guarantees will be weapons” that would allow Ukraine to hit Russian ships if they attack Ukrainian ports, he said.

The Russo-Turkish plan would allow for removal of mines near Odesa and guarantee safe passage for ships out of the Black Sea, under the auspices of the UN, the people said. Turkey, which has sought for months to mediate in the conflict, aims to set up a centre in Istanbul to monitor and coordinate the shipments. Ukraine hasn’t participated directly in the talks, according to an official there.

“By commenting in advance on reaching the deal, Russia is seeking to shift responsibility to Ukraine” for disrupting supplies, Taras Kachka, Ukraine’s Deputy Economy Minister, said in a text message. “But the fact remains that the food crisis has been artificially created by Russia and Russia alone.”

Russia is also demanding the ability to inspect ships going to Ukraine for weapons, a condition Kyiv has resisted.

So, who is responsible for the blocking the grain supply?

"You considered yourself entitled to commit lawlessness far from your borders all these years."

Lavrov, answering the question of the BBC about supplies of MLRS to Ukraine by the UK and the USA:

"You don't even want to hear our arguments... the point is that for 20 years both you and the Americans and all other NATO members were warned: "Dear friends, you signed in 1999 that no one will strengthen their security at the expense of the security of others. Why can't you do that? Why did it turn out to be a lie?"

The minister noted that NATO has already brought the "line of defense" closer to the borders of the Russian Federation five times: "What is this? Probably megalomania already."

Why’s The US-Led West So Afraid Of Lavrov Visiting Serbia? - TheAltWorld
https://thealtworld.com/andrew_korybko/whys-the-us-led-west-so-afraid-of-lavrov-visiting-serbia

The United States should strongly pressure President Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian government to accept Russia's peace offers, ceding the Russian-speaking territories in the east and south to the control of Russia and agreeing to Ukrainian neutrality in the geopolitical conflict between the West and Russia.
Vilification of Russia is pervasive in the U. S. media, now including the uncritical repetition of Ukrainian government allegations of human rights abuses by Russian soldiers and by Russian-backed forces, most of which reports have later been shown by reliable sources to be false.
