Attention! Translated from Ukrainian channel:

Our source in the OP said that the Pentagon suggested that the Office of the President again return to the defense strategy on the second redoubt along the Zaporozhye/Dnepr/Poltava/Kharkov line or withdraw to the defensive line proposed by Zaluzhny Slavyansk/Kramatorsk/Druzhkivka/Konstantinovka in order to avoid heavy casualties of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Donbass . The Americans are sure that Zelensky made a mistake in his decision to throw all his forces into holding unfavorable positions on the eastern front, where the steppe landscape plays on the side of Russian artillery and aviation. US military analysts are confident that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are now losing the most combat-ready units that cannot be replaced by new mobilization, and this, in turn, will cause the front to collapse and mass surrender.

Ukraine's ambassador to Germany meanwhile has repeatedly criticised Germany for dragging its feet on sending heavy weapons to Ukraine, though Berlin has robustly defended its record of support.

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's senior adviser Mykhailo Podolyak signalled Ukraine's frustrations [about Germany's position]:

"Russia must not win, but we won't give heavy weapons - it may offend Russia.
Putin must lose but let's not impose new sanctions.
Millions will starve, but we're not ready for military convoys with grain," he tweeted on May 31.

"Rising prices are not the worst that awaits a democratic world with such a policy," he said.

Sounds like somebodies has a split personality... 🤯🧠

German howitzers Panzerhaubitze 2000 will be delivered to Ukraine in the "near future".

This was stated by the head of the Bundeswehr Christina Lambrecht. The training of Ukrainian soldiers to conduct combat operations on the PzH 2000 is coming to an end. Time and route of delivery were not disclosed.

American howitzers M777 are killing civilians in Donbas. French self-propelled howitzers Caesar are killing civilians in Donbas. Now German howitzers will kill civilians in Donbas - AGAIN. Donbas will remember.

🇺🇦The Armed Forces of Ukraine have mobilized hundreds of thousands of people.

Hundreds of thousands more people are planned to be called up, Deputy Defense Minister Malar said.

"The mobilization is going according to plan, the citizens are very motivated," she stressed.

The motivation of citizens is shown in the video above.

The head of the DPR, Denis Pushilin, said that the Azovstal steelwork plant was completely destroyed, as it was a key polluter in the city of Mariupol.

As he said, the plant will not be restored because most of the citizens are against it.

For our ecologically woke friends...

The advance on Slavyansk continues: Russian troops entered the village of Dolina, breaking the enemy’s defences in the very north of the DPR.

The relevant information has already been published by Russian military correspondents, which means that Russian soldiers have at least entrenched themselves in Dolina and are preparing to develop a further offensive against Slavyansk.

True, the cleansing of the "Holy Mountains" natural reserve is ahead.

If you were following the events in Donbas from 2014, then you should know, that it all really started from Slavyansk, and it will continue (but not end) here.

Russia rose to become India's second biggest supplier of oil in May, pushing Saudi Arabia into third place but still behind Iraq which remains No. 1, data from trade sources showed.

In May Indian refiners received about 819,000 barrels per day (bpd) Russian oil, the highest thus far in any month, compared to about 277,00 in April, the data showed.

Western sanctions against Russia for its invasion of Ukraine prompted many oil importers to shun trade with Moscow, pushing spot prices for Russian crude to record discounts against other grades.

NOW - Obama: "We have to take steps to detoxify our discourse, particularly the scourge of 'disinformation, conspiracy theories, and hate' online."

It's hard to disagree with that Mr Obama.

Organization of continuous logistics support for the forces of the Russian army in the field during a special operation.

The logistics servicemen organize uninterrupted cooking, baking bread, washing personnel, repairing and refueling equipment.

Particular attention is paid to the issues of providing for troops operating at a considerable distance from temporary deployment and deployment points.

To all those in the West who support Kiev regime we recommend to examine the evidence of barbaric heavy artillery shelling of Donetsk by Ukrainian forces on June 13th. 5 hospitals, 3 schools and a kindergarten have been damaged.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Humanitarian corridors from the territory of the Azot plant did not work as expected. The Nazis who have settled in the factory do not want to get rid of the human shield so quickly. However, we already went through all this during the liquidation of the AFU grouping at Azovstal.

"I am worried about it," William Alberque, director of strategy, technology and arms control at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, told CNBC. "There are huge risks that Ukraine will continue to lose land incrementally."

Only one person was able to escape from the Azot plant today. The rest of the civilians are not released from the factory by Ukrainians and are being used as a human shield. Another reminder that the terrorist practice of ISIS is not an excess, but a systematic practice implemented at the state level. And not only the notorious "Nazi battalions" and foreign mercenaries are involved in its implementation (that is, they are engaged in open terrorism), but all the Ukrainian servicemen that have settled in the industrial zone of Severodonetsk. There are no innocent people there.

🇧🇾🇵🇱The Prosecutor General of Belarus said that Minsk is studying the activities of the Polish president's grandfather.

"Now we are actively documenting the activities of the grandfather of Polish President Duda, who was part of the Ukrainian punitive battalion, distinguished himself with special cruelty primarily on the territory of the Minsk and Vitebsk regions," the Prosecutor General said.

From Russian Airforce 👍

Ukrainian forces have been hiding their artillery, armoured vehicles and tanks in residential areas, from the first week of fighting. What is this tactic called?

Well, the British guys have got a company.
