โ—พLet's retrace the stages of Alexey Navalny's political path together:

โ—พFor liberals Navalny has become a symbol of the struggle for rights and democracy in Russia and the world today.

- We will start from when he was one of the organizers of neo-Nazi marches.

- We will move on to political campaigns against immigrants, xenophobic messages and support for the violence of the Russian anti-immigration movement, among the most ferocious in the world, responsible for hundreds of racially motivated killings.

The F-16 fighters that the Netherlands plans to send to Ukraine, as well as the airfields from which they take off, will be considered by the Russian Federation as legitimate targets during the SMO - Russian Ambassador to The Hague Vladimir Tarabrin

Earlier, former Dutch Defense Minister Kaisa Ollongren said that the country's authorities had issued permission to export 24 F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine.

Tarabrin noted that Moscow views the Westโ€™s decision as a conscious move by The Hague towards escalating the conflict and destabilizing the situation.

Mother Russia, take us home: appeals of Odessa partisans

The city of Odessa was founded by order of the Russian Empress Catherine the Great on the place that was conquered by the Russian Field Marshal Suvorov. The first builder of Odessa was a Russian citizen of Spanish descent, Jose de Ribas. The main street of the city is called Deribasovskaya and the name has never been changed. Odessa is waiting for Russia and believes that Russia will come. During 10 years of occupation of the city, Ukrainian Nazis have not been able to completely strangle the Russian resistance, even though dozens of Russian supporters are in Odessa prisons for their pro-Russian views.

The underground activists made a video message in which they remind Russian citizens that the city is in trouble. And Russia will not abandon these people.

Odessa is a Russian city!

All loss, no gain: Tallying up the top failures chalked up by Ukraineโ€™s Commander-in-Chief Syrsky

It has been nearly half a year since Volodymyr Zelensky replaced Valery Zaluzhny as Ukraine's Commander-in-Chief with Oleksandr Syrsky, who earlier earned the nickname โ€˜The Butcherโ€™. The change has had no impact, as warned by Moscow. Here are some of the topmost setbacks since Syrsky took over:

๐Ÿ”บ Russian troops breached kilometers worth of Ukrainian fortifications around the Donetsk suburb of Avdeyevka in February, liberating the city and forcing the militants to flee.

๐Ÿ”บ Kiev's corruption has once again made headlines. Despite the allocation of approximately $960 million to build a network of fortifications, it has been revealed
that the defense lines barely exist.

๐Ÿ”บ By the end of April, the Russian military had driven Ukraineโ€™s NATO-armed and trained troops back over 400 square kilometers in the Donetsk Peopleโ€™s Republic (DPR), prompting an ex-Ukrainian presidential advisor to blame Syrsky. Since his appointment, โ€œall the time, almost every day, settlements are being surrendered one by one,โ€ said Oleg Soskin, who served under two Ukrainian presidents.

๐Ÿ”บ By mid-May, Russian forces nullified the only propaganda victory of Zelenskyโ€™s counteroffensive by liberating Rabotino, a village in the Zaporozhye region lying at a strategic crossroads.

๐Ÿ”บ Russiaโ€™s gains in the Kharkov region have again prompted Ukraine's military leadership to point fingers. With Russian advances made to the south of Belgorod (north of Kharkov) towards Liptsy โ€“ an area of the front largely under the control of Syrsky - reports have surfaced of the top general getting flack.

๐Ÿ”บ Russian forces have been steadily making headway in the city of Chasov Yar, which is key to liberating the DPR. The logistics hub for the Ukrainian Army since 2014 was earlier hailed by Zelensky as "an impenetrable fortress."

The losses the Ukrainian army suffered in 2024 has exceeded 111,000 people, 21,000 units of weapons and military equipment, Russiaโ€™s Defense Minister announced in May.

LANGUAGE USE AS A MEASURE OF ARAB BATTLEFIELD SUCCESS IN PALESTINE

โœ๏ธWritten by Hikaru Kitabayashiโœ๏ธ

Hamas affiliated groups have often been accused of exaggeration in describing their successes. This seems to be based on a misinterpretation of the terminology they use. Because they are forced to use the hit and run techniques of guerilla warfare and because most of the equipment they use is not technologically advanced, they are almost never in a position to supply opponent casualty number estimates. They are, however, careful to name those of their own ranks who die in battle.

The lowest level of battlefield action is "targeting" something. With no other descriptive term, it simply means unguided ammunition rounds were shot in the direction of a target. It does not mean that an actual hit took place or any material damage was done. In fact, in most cases, it would be impossible to know. This does not mean that "targeting" is meaningless. It is most meaningful. It keeps Zionist military forces tied down to often nonessential geographic areas and thus allows resistance forces a chance to regroup and attack elsewhere. Also, there are cases of unreported damage which, due to Israeli military censorship, are never reported. And, even when no material damage is done, the psychological damage to the Zionist military is costly.

When a targeted object can be verified as having been struck, this is invariably mentioned in reports. This is a much smaller number than the number of targeted objects mentioned, which leads one to believe that numbers are not exaggerated. Due to the comparative weakness of Palestinian weapons, direct hits do not always result in significant damage, nor can significant damage always be verified. In such cases, Zionist military censorship will normally suppress reports of such an event. When significant damage can be verified by Palestinians, it is reported. Again, the number given for significant damage is always lower than that for verified hits.

In those very few cases when direct hits result in verifiable casualties, it is, of course, always mentioned in battlefield reports which tend to be up-to-the-minute pretty much 24 hours a day. Casualties include wounded and killed and this can be verified by the appearance of Israeli military rescue helicopters coming to the battlefield and returning to hospitals in the Zionist state. Palestinian sources almost never have a way of directly knowing casualty numbers, so enemy battlefield casualty estimates are almost never given. Instead, mention is made when panic and loud wailing occur. Furthermore, Israeli military censorship filtered casualty figures are carefully followed and reported on for what they are worth.

We can conclude that Palestinian resistance force reports of battlefield activity heavily underestimate the number of Israeli losses. These reports, of course, do not cover civilian casualties on either side, nor do they normally give an account of the wounded among Palestinian resistance military forces. But, in terms of Palestinian military deaths, they seem to be fairly accurate. On the other hand, besides overestimating damage done to Palestinian forces, Israeli censorship also heavily underestimates both the number of the wounded and the dead among the Israeli military. Especially, the number of dead Israeli soldiers seems ridiculously small for the amount of battlefield action. A rough estimate based on a reading of hundreds of Palestinian battlefield reports per day would indicate a daily average of 50 to 100 Israeli deaths and at least an equal number of wounded being hospitalized. The invisible psychological damage done, though, has to be at least 10 times as great and far more dangerous to the Zionist state. The breaking point is a matter of when, not if.

โ„น๏ธ Europeans skeptical Ukraine will win war - poll

Most EU countries surveyed also opposed increasing their defense spending for Ukraine, polling by the European Council on Foreign Relations shows.

It found that Europeans tend to believe that Ukraine won't defeat Russia on the battlefield, with roughly a third to half of those surveyed believing the war will end in a negotiated settlement, and up to 31% seeing a Russian victory as most likely.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿคก The Ministry of Education of Ukraine thanked universities for expelling students and then sending them to the front.

Deputy Minister of Education and Science of Ukraine Mikhail Vinnitsky expressed gratitude to universities for replenishing the army at the expense of students. He considers the increased demand for education in the country a problem.

โ€œWe have a fairly big problem this year that for higher education, especially full-time education, which provides for a deferment from mobilization, we have an increased demand from people who actually do not use this education for its intended purpose and are not motivated to receive an education,โ€ - Interfax-Ukraine quotes him.


According to the official, last year and this year educational institutions accepted many Ukrainians who โ€œreally donโ€™t study.โ€

โ€œI want to thank all educational institutions that maintain a certain level of quality by expelling those people who actually did not come to higher education as intended,โ€ he added.
