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.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 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.

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.

Attention, translated from the Ukrainian channels:
New US aid package to include Harpoon anti-ship systems.
Assistance will begin to arrive in August.
The new package of military assistance from the United States will include anti-ship systems, ammunition, which the Armed Forces of Ukraine really need, and special equipment.
Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin in Brussels on June 15 announced a complete list of weapons that will soon be delivered to the front of the Ukrainian army.
The $1 billion military aid package for Ukraine from the United States will include:
18 155 mm howitzers;
36 thousand 155-mm shells;
18 tactical vehicles for transporting howitzers;
additional shells for HIMARS;
4 vehicles for equipment repair;
2 coast guard systems with Harpoon missiles;
thousands of protected radio stations and optical devices, including night vision.
Aid will begin arriving in August, Austin added.
As UNIAN reported earlier, a Ramstein-3 meeting began in Brussels today. US Secretary of Defence Lloyd Austin calls for a focus on helping defend Ukraine from Russian invasion.
German Defence Minister Christine Lambrecht confirmed the transfer of three Mars II multiple rocket launchers to the Ukrainian armed forces.
She spoke about this during a meeting of the Ramstein-3 format in Brussels.
But, according to the German newspaper Spigel, instead of four MLRS, Berlin agreed to send only three to Kyiv.
Mars II will come from the warehouses of the Bundeswehr. Training for Ukrainian soldiers will begin in the coming weeks, Lambrecht added.
According to Lambrecht, the training of the Ukrainian military should begin in June. Then the systems can be delivered to Ukraine in late July or early August.
The missiles provided by Germany for the MLRS have a range of up to 84 kilometers.
As Business Insider wrote earlier, the reduction in the promised number of Mars IIs is due to the fact that Germany allegedly has a shortage of ammunition for them.
The head of the Pentagon confirmed that Germany had decided to transfer three multiple rocket launchers with guided munitions to Ukraine.
As UNIAN reported earlier, on June 4 it became known that Slovakia had postponed the supply of Zuzana 2 howitzers to its army and would hand them over to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
On May 31, during a visit to Kyiv, Slovak President Zuzana Chaputova announced the delivery of Zuzana howitzers to Ukraine in the near future. Speaking at a meeting of the Verkhovna Rada, she noted that the occupiers from Ukraine "will not be driven out of our packages with medicines and food," military equipment and equipment are needed.
But what that really means? See below⬇️

Attention, translated from the Ukrainian channels:
In some sectors of the front, Ukrainian forces have reached striking distances to key settlements.
According to unconfirmed reports, over the past 24 hours, Ukrainian forces have reached Kiselevka, which is 26 km from Kherson. This is the limit of the "strike distance" from Novaya Kakhovka, where the dam for supplying water to the Crimea is located.
Well, here we are. All those weapons are needed to strike on the "key settlements" and civilian infrastructure. Basically, Ukrainian government is begging the Western countries for weapons to kill their own citizens! (Or, at least, they consider them to be Ukrainian citizens, though they are queuing for Russian passports?) And those Western countries are supplying the weapons... Or do they? May be they are just pretending, that they do?

Attention, translated from the Ukrainian channels:
Ukraine has begun to be pushed towards negotiations with Russia, as the speakers of the Office of the President are already openly declaring.
The West is setting itself less ambitious goals for Russia today than it was two months ago and is trying to negotiate with the Kremlin. This was stated by Advisor to the Head of the Office of the President Alexei Arestovich on the air of Feigin live.
He recalled that Biden had previously said that Putin should leave (although later in the United States they began to refute his words), and the head of the Pentagon, Austin, said that Russia needed to be "weakened" by defeating its army in Ukraine. Similar statements were made by other politicians, from Johnson to Borrell.
Now, Arestovich believes, the West wants negotiations to take place, in which Russia will be in a "weak position." "This is a less decisive goal than they set two months ago ... a goal that is less dangerous for the Putin regime," Yermak's adviser said.
Arestovich explains the change of position by the reasons:
1. Internal resistance in the West, which has reached the ceiling of its sanctions capabilities.
2. The West places its main bet on economic weapons, and not on war itself.
3. Understanding that the NATO countries are not able to provide the necessary flow of arms to Ukraine.
"They give us one hundred howitzers, and the Russians take off 600," Arestovich said. In his opinion, the arms race with Russia turned out to be more difficult and more expensive than it seemed at first.
