Russian Airforce strikes with a glidу bomb the base of the Armed Forces of Ukraine at an electrical substation in the Kremensky forest. In addition to the personnel, there was an ammunition warehouse there — you can see how it detonates with a second explosion.

Exclusive footage from Artyomovsk

Soldiers of the Russian Armed Forces clear one of the roads after attacking a convoy with reinforcements of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which tried to break into the city.

Most of the reinforcements of the Armed Forces of Ukraine sent to Artyomovsk are destroyed by Russian artillery on their way, but some small detachments sometimes manage to slip through.

The Ukrainian armoured group on three infantry fighting vehicles and civilian vehicles was able to break through to Artemovsk under heavy artillery fire, but on one of the sections of the road the column was attacked from an ambush. As a result, the equipment was destroyed, and everyone who was inside died.

The enemy positions are only 300 meters away, however, a unit of the Russian Armed Forces goes out to inspect the destroyed Ukrainian equipment.

Biden explained to the children who visited the White House that as president he obeys orders, not gives them.

In confirmation of his words, the American leader listened to the little guest, who recommended that he finish the event and return to the office.

I wander, who is giving orders to Biden? Any ideas? Is he spreading some "conspiracy theory"?

The sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, Kim Yo Jong, commented on the words of US President Joe Biden about "regime change in the DPRK."

"This can be taken as a meaningless statement of a man in old age who is not at all capable of taking responsibility for the security and future of the United States, an old man without a future," she said.

🎙 FM Sergey Lavrov’s news conference following his visit to the US within the framework of Russia’s presidency of the UN Security Council

Key topics:

🔹 On non-issuance of visas to Russian journalists
🔹 Situation in Sudan
🔹 Realization of Black Sea Initiative
🔹 US Presidential Election
🔹 Expansion of NATO to the East
🔹 On detained US citizens in Russia
🔹 On Russia's President visit to Türkiye
🔹 Situation in Ukraine
🔹 Middle East settlement process
🔹 On supplies to Kiev regime depleted uranium shells for Challenger 2 tanks
🔹 On sanctions against Russia imposed by collective West
🔹 Situation in Afghanistan
🔹 On Iran nuclear deal

💬 Sergey Lavrov: Our wish is that no security threats come from the territory of Ukraine. These threats have accumulated there for years, especially after the state coup in February 2014. Another wish of ours is that people who consider themselves Russian speakers, members of the Russian culture and faith, which they have always practiced through the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, will not be subjected to discrimination, persecution and threats of extermination.

• We have long come to the conclusion that we can only rely on ourselves and those who honour their agreements. We will never again rely on those who lie, who constantly deceive others and who try to gain illegitimate unilateral advantage.

• The sanctions against Russia are indeed something that nobody has ever seen or been able to imagine. But for us it is a resolved issue. We have all the capacities to be independent from this sort of behaviour by our Western colleagues who have proven their complete inability to negotiate.

• There are those in the EU who do want to allow Ukraine to join on an expedited basis. That will just show that it has nothing to do with meeting the criteria but that it’s just a geopolitical game of laying paws on as much territory as possible which will belong to no one.

In Europe, they regretted the refusal to get closer to Russia

MEP from Ireland Mick Wallace said that the refusal to cooperate with Russia only harmed the EU.

"We've done ourselves a lot of damage," he said.

The parliamentarian added that the European Union should have prevented the destabilizing expansion of NATO, but did exactly the opposite.

And now the West is condemning Ukrainians to a senseless death in a war that only it needs, Wallace concluded.

The payload weight is 20-25 kg, the operating time in the air is up to 7 hours. The body of the drone is 100% carbon, which makes it difficult to detect. The length of the Mugin-5 Pro is 3.5 m, the wingspan is 5 m. The drone is equipped with an internal combustion engine, the tank holds 27 litters of fuel. The maximum speed is up to 150 km/h.

These Democrats are leading the call for Biden to send jets to Ukraine

By Nick Robertson for The Hill

President Biden is facing pressure from within his own party to send fighter jets and longer range missiles to Ukraine, as Russia continues to inflict daily death and destruction through aerial attacks.

Members of congress from both parties have called on Biden to supply Ukraine with long-range rocket artillery, called ATACMS, and modern F-16 fighter jets. The administration has so far refused, saying that the U.S. can’t spare any ATACMS systems and that jets aren’t a priority.

But the U.S. pledge in January to provide M1 Abrams main battle tanks to Ukraine earlier this spring, after months of opposition from the White House, has given cause for optimism that the administration may come around to providing even heavier weaponry.

For the most hawkish members of both parties, F-16s and long-range missiles are the logical next step. The equipment could be key in the defense of Ukrainian people and any offensive push against Russian positions, the lawmakers argue — and some U.S. military leaders agree.

Ukraine and Russia: The Endgame
The key to the situation is to ask what any reasonable Russian government, tsarist, democratic, communist, or authoritarian would want.

By George Liebmann for The American Conservative

any of the usual suspects who upheld America’s unwise wars in Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan—and its ill-considered interventions in Yugoslavia, Syria, and Libya, with their destabilizing refugee flows—are predictably upholding Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s pre-Russian-invasion intransigence with regard to possible NATO membership for Ukraine. Blinken, as well as National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, are devoted Clintonistas who fully bought into the NATO expansion project opposed by George Kennan, William Perry, Jack Matlock and others.

This intransigence is set against what has long been apparent to me and many others: Post-Khrushchev Ukraine is an artificial construct. Its elections disclosed sharp fissures on regional, ethnic, and religious lines. Crimea, Russian until 1954, was a traditional seat of Russian culture and only 22 percent Ukrainian by 1959. The Donbas was Russia’s Rust Belt. Proceedings in the parliament of the united Ukraine resembled a rugby match more than normal parliamentary deliberations. The regime was at least as corrupt as Russia’s, and the country had a lower economic growth rate. The U.S. was wise not to make a serious issue of the Russian annexation of Crimea.
...
The key to the situation is to ask what any reasonable Russian government, tsarist, democratic, communist, or authoritarian would want. The answer is that it would want what the Soviet Union was effectively promised at Yalta and San Francisco: a role as one of the world’s Five Policemen*. The Russian foreign minister, Sergey Lavrov, recently said as much, though no one was listening.
...
The fundamental insight here, when our justified indignation at Putin’s brutality has subsided, is that asserted by Lavrov: a Pax Americana is no longer sustainable. “We cannot be the policemen of the world,” Andrew Bonar Law said in saving Britain and Turkey from a disastrous war in 1920. We no longer live in the world of the ’50s, in which all the other great powers had bombed each other into smithereens.

* — Certainly, we use different terminology — multipolarity, but being brutally honest — it can also be simplistically expressed this way as well. The difference is that Russia admits the same rights also for China and India (at the least). What actually Lavrov says, is very much different, from what the Western politicians and "experts" can/want to hear... It looks like they simply do not understand language, based on mutual respect of interests and prefer the vocabulary based on force.
