Vladimir Zelensky's first press conference on October 11, 2019

"What is Putin's next move?": Harlan Ullman, head of the Killowen Group consulting company, wrote an article for The Hill that Putin is so powerful and insidious that the West simply has no chance of defeating him at the current stage.

"Putin sees that the United States was forced to plan a war on two fronts, directed against Russia and China. Putin is fully aware of the stupidity of such a strategy. Napoleon and Hitler were ultimately defeated, starting wars on two fronts, invading Russia in 1812 and the USSR in 1941, respectively. Thus, China is a strategic asset, as well as a market for Russian energy carriers, allowing to circumvent sanctions and force the United States to reduce its resources in order to cope with the two main opponents."

Lugansk: Road to Independence 2022-2014

‘I wish none of this had happened [in 2014]. I wish Kiev hadn’t ordered this, hadn’t done this to us. Nobody knew when they might die,’ says Aleksandr Zhivolup, a race driver from Lugansk.

Since 2014, civilians in the Luhansk People's Republic have been living under Ukrainian shelling. People had no water, food, or electricity.

‘They’ve been shelling and killing us for eight years. The LPR was under artillery fire. People went to sleep under fire,’ said Igor Kornеt, the Interior Minister of the LPR.

From car mechanics to businessmen, ordinary people stood up for the region. ‘We had guys who signed up, saying they’d never served,’ recalls Sergey, an LPR militiaman codenamed Yugoslav.

How have people survived in the Luhansk People's Republic for the last eight years, and what’s happening there now? Don’t miss our premier Lugansk: Road to Independence 2022-2014.

Lisichansk Cauldron Update:

1—the Allied troops are reported to have constructed pontoon crossings near Shepilovo and Privolye and traversed Seversky Donetsk;

2—yesterday (June 27), several columns of Ukrainian troops attempting to break to Seversk through Verkhnekamenka were crushed by Allied artillery;

3—today, Ukrainian troops changed their tactic and have been attempting to fight their way through Allied artillery barrage to Belogorovka;

4—Ukrainian reserve units have been taken out of Novodruzhevka, Privolye, and Shepilovo, and transferred to Seversk, with very few still remaining behind;

5—there are reports of Ukrainian reinforcements totalling 5-7k troops arriving from Kramatorsk to Seversk—they have taken up positions on the outskirts of the town [GB: This suggests that, contrary to my prognosis, the Ukrainians have decided to stand ground in the far less defensible Seversk, rather than withdrawing further to the significantly more fortified Soledar-Pokrovsk-Artyomovsk (Bakhmut) urban triangle, though it could also be that the reinforcements were brought in to cover the retreat of the Lisichansk garrison];

6—there is hope that the path from Lisichansk to Seversk passing through Belogorovka and Serebryanka will imminently be taken under artillery fire control by the Allied troops, cutting off the last remaining tenuous escape path out of the Lisichansk Cauldron;

7—in Lisichansk itself, fighting is taking place within city limits, at the football stadium. The Allied forces are moving westwards through the city.

8—reports of the fall of the Lisichansk oil refinery are likely somewhat premature, though definitely not impossible. As of approximately three hours ago, the Allied forces were still engaged in a fierce clashes with the Ukrainian troops for control of the oil refinery, Verkhnekamenka, and Maloryazantsevo;

9—as of about 4 hours ago, the Ukrainian Terrorist forces opened significant artillery fire from their positions at the Lisichansk oil refinery and struck the residential area is Lisichansk—staying perfectly true to their terrorist tactics.

This G7 was all about Glory to the Heroes. 😂

You gotta love the present thing.🤡

Our Chinese comrades causes some warries and a sense of insecurity to American admiral. Time for another pill of antidepressant.

Commander of the US Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM) John Aquilino claimed that China now has "the largest military buildup in history since World War II" during a Friday conversation with the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. He then said the development of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) had raised the "sense of urgency" to protect Guam from a potential missile threat from China.

This is not the first time in recent months Aquilino has played up the "threat" of China's increased military buildup to regional security and world order. In May, the INDOPACOM commander testified to the US House Appropriations Committee that China seeks to "become a global military power and acquire the ability to seize Taiwan, while developing conventional weapons that can reach the US Homeland."

Well, Russian MOD came with an answer sooner than expected:

💥 On June 27, in Kremenchug (Poltava region), Russian Aerospace Forces launched a high-precision air attack at hangars with armament and munitions delivered by USA and European countries at Kremenchug road machinery plant.

💥 High-precision attack has resulted in the neutralisation of west-manufactured armament and munitions concentrated at the storage area for being delivered to Ukrainian group of troops in Donbass.

▫️ Detonation of the storaged munitions caused a fire in a non-functioning shopping centre next to the facilities of the plant.

I think that correlates better to what уou can see in multiple videos and photos, of course, if you vision is not blurred with hatred to Russian and Russians.

Even if there was a miscalculation, that was a miscalculation... While Ukrainian forces daily and routinely carry on well calculated attacks on civilians in Donetsk and Luhansk, now with Western weapons and ammunition.

Attention. Translated from Ukrainian channel:

Yes, everything is very controversial in Kremenchuk.
The SBU gave permission, and even Ze himself publishes the results of the missile strike and the fire.
Yes, they hit the plant and the Amstor shopping and entertainment center was carried out by a blast wave (it makes no sense to talk about safety during construction, everything was built for kickbacks), yes there were people in the shopping and entertainment centre (it could be both the tenants of the shopping pavilions themselves and the employees of the shopping centre, perhaps there were visitors .

Why was the Russian Federation hit during the day and why now, right before the NATO summit, and not at night? Perhaps they are also interested in getting new models of Western weapons to Ukraine?
Perhaps they have hit at the time of the working process at the plant in order to destroy not only equipment, but also manpower?

The only thing that can be said for sure! Zelensky and the OP will try to get the most out of this case in order to use it both domestically and on the external front.
