Annexation, nothing else

The leadership of the occupied part of the Donetsk region from local collaborators passes under the direct control of the Russians, without further attempts to imitate a “referendum” or other “will of the people,” advisor to the Mariupol Mayor Petr Andryushchenko, stated.

“There is a rotation in the occupation authorities of the Donetsk region. A new head of the government of the occupiers, Russian Vitaliy Khotsenko, has been appointed. For the first time, a direct appointment from Russia to the conditionally leading authorities of another state. But the picture will not be complete unless we add that the rotation of the government of the occupiers took place simultaneously with the visit of the first Sergey Kiriyenko, Deputy of the Administration of the President of Russia, who, accordingly, delivered the order and supervised its execution,” Andryushchenko said.

Bad experience is not in demand, unlike proper one

Diplomats, who signed the unprofitable Budapest Memorandum in 1994, now have the courage to offer their services again. After all, the Budapest Memorandum is not legally enshrined.

The Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Oleksiy Danilov said this on June 7 on the air of the telethon.

“As for the Budapest Memorandum, there were a number of countries there first, and then China was added to the security guarantors, from which we will definitely get nothing. But this is the past, 1994. Our diplomats had to work harder then. I am surprised that the diplomats who disgraced all this in 1994 are now going and offering something. impudence to continue to offer their services, “Danilov said.

It will be recalled that before the start of the full-scale invasion, Ukraine invited urgent consultations to the UN Security Council on the basis of the Budapest Memorandum

Experts expect changes in developments in August

Modern weapons can change the course of the war, because they are several times more powerful than Russian counterparts, stated military expert Vladislav Seleznev. The expert predicted when the war would end, subject to the availability of Western weapons. He said the active counter-offensive actions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to oust the invaders may take place in August.

For his part, a former top U.S. commander, General Ben Hodges, said that “continue pushing to Ukraine what they need and what we’ve promised. Russians will culminate by end of August. Now is the time for real resolve.”

Repeating lie is a method of accrediting it

Ukrainian residents, regardless of the place of registration, will now be able to apply for a Russian passport in the Russia-controlled Kherson region, TASS reported citing Volodymyr Saldo, the region’s head of administration.

The National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine said such statements are necessary to create the illusion of a large flow of applicants for Russian nationality.

Ukraine wants to sell, Moldova seeks to buy

All the required Ukrainians lines are ready to export electricity to Romania, Hungary, Slovakia and Poland, said Lana Zerkal, an adviser to the energy minister, in an interview.

Large losses in Nikolayev

Deputy of the Rada Kostenko announced very large losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Nikolaev region.
