๐Ÿ”ดOn the #Zaporozhye Front, fighting continues for positions northwest of #Verbovoye. Even if not very actively, but the RFAF do not stop pressuring the Ukrainian defence. The line of contact is without significant changes. (Fig. 1)

๐Ÿ”ดOn the #Donetsk Front, Russian troops continue to assault #Georgiyevka, where the AFU still maintains their presence, but nothing can prevent the advance of our troops.
๐ŸŸกIn #Krasnogorovka, the fighting continues, where Russian troops are increasingly pushing back the enemy. There are tactical successes. There are also advances in #Netaylovo. There Ukrainian troops are also forced to withdraw closer and closer to the outskirts of the settlement.
๐ŸŸกIn #Umanskoye, the situation is similar. (Fig. 2)

๐Ÿ”ดIn the #ChasovYar Direction, the frontline is without much change. The AFU is trying to regain lost positions in the area of #Bogdanovka. There is heavy fighting. Fighting also continues in the eastern suburbs of #ChasovYar and west of #Ivanovskoye (#Krasnoye). (Fig. 3)

๐Ÿ”ดOn the #Kharkov Front, the RFAF are advancing in #Volchansk, the AFU is forced to withdraw, but they are withdrawing with fighting. Fighting continues for the village of #Staritsa. Russian troops are advancing in the area of (the taken) #Lukyantsy.
๐ŸŸกIn the area of #Liptsy, also fighting continues.
๐ŸŸกIn general, the Russian army retains the initiative, albeit not quickly, but methodically pushing through the AFU defence in this direction. (Fig. 4)

We Haven't Yet Begun to Fight

Analysts cited by AP today have said that current actions in Kharkov are only preparation for "an expected summer offensive."

The situation appears dire as Ukrainian units stretched thin are likely to lead to a major Russian breakthrough, regardless of whether western support arrives. The main problem for Ukraine, even greater than lack of munitions, has been lack of manpower.

Precious reserves were meant to halt Russiaโ€™s advance elsewhere along the 1,000-kilometer (620-mile) frontline but rotated out to stabilize the new front and limit Moscowโ€™s advance. Now Ukrainian soldiers are concerned Russia will open more fighting along its border with Ukraine to stretch limited manpower...


While Ukrainian military and government sources talk about massive casualties Russia is accruing in the Kharkov direction, Ukrainian soldiers on the ground tell a different story.

โ€œI saw that the infantry just walked into the village,โ€ said Borchik. โ€œThere were a lot of them.โ€ Members of the unit spoke on the condition that only their call signs be used...


The AP makes no mention of any successful drone strikes while embedded with Ukrainian drone operators.

โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ UKRAINIAN DELEGATION FINED AT EUROVISION SONG CONTEST: The Ukrainian contestant Alyona (left hand side) sports a shirt that demands freedom for the defenders of Azovstal.

The said defenders were Azov Battalion Neo-Nazis that were smoked out of the Azovstal factory in Mariupol, Donetsk Republic (ex-Ukraine) by Russian forces in 2022.

The Eurovision Song Contest is currently underway in Sweden. The singer says that she was aware of the ban on political statements but deliberately broke the rules.

Let's face it - we prefer the shirt, as opposed to her promotional "clothing" (pictured right in blue & yellow.)

General Budanov said he believes Russian attacks in Northeast intended to stretch Ukraineโ€™s already thin reserves of soldiers and divert them from fighting elsewhere. That is exactly whatโ€™s happening now, he acknowledged.


Budanov's looking sad as he realizes his days of gleefully committing terror attacks against innocents coming to end...

THANK GOD ! ! !

โœ๏ธWritten in English by an anonymous, native Arabic-speaking, contributorโœ๏ธ

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

An incident happened recently this month to a foreign student of a university in the Arabic speaking world, about which no identifying information will be given in order to protect the privacy of those concerned. The student fell to the ground on a street where he saw a stray cat next to him. He was okay, but, when he got home, he looked in the mirror and found a small scratch on his neck. He kept thinking of the reason and concluded the stray cat might have scratched him.

The university protocol in this case is to advise the student to have a rabies vaccine injection. His insurance company referred him to a private hospital, but the doctor told him he could only get the vaccine in a public hospital.

He kept pushing his university academic advisor to make the decision for him because he said he was paranoid. It was a first time for the advisor to deal with someone who was paranoid like this, but the situation was handled by telling him to go to a public hospital and let the doctor there advise him.

The advisor had classes, so could not go along. But, he could speak Arabic and the doctors English. When he returned, the advisor checked on him and saw his face wasnโ€™t okay. They went to the advisor's office. On arrival, he immediately broke out into tears.

The advisor was surprised, but kept calm. It turned out he had mixed feelings, was overwhelmed with emotions, yet also relieved. He was afraid of the vaccine and the public hospital, but said that the people were good and the hospital wasnโ€™t bad.

But, something perplexed him. When he fell, a man, who came to help, said the Arabic for โ€œThank God!โ€ The student didnโ€™t understand why the man thanked God. The advisor said it was because it wasn't worse, something about which people always thank God.

Even as the advisor was speaking, a colleague came by. He had been hit by a car the week before while crossing the street. He was limping, with bruises all over his body and a dislocated shoulder in an arm sling.

When the advisor, in front of the student, welcomed the man, saying "I hope you're feeling better", the man smiled and said: โ€œThank God. Itโ€™s all because of Godโ€™s blessings.โ€ and left. The student then asked "What blessings?" After all, the man was nearly totaled. The advisor, then and there, took the student to the colleague in question and made the student ask him directly. The colleague's reply was that it was destined, something he could not control, and it could have been worse. And, in fact, he had no wounds or fractures and could still walk. The student responded with "Thank God!" and immediately looked better. He then had coffee and continued his day as normal.

The advisor was happy the student was back to normal and was also was happy about the coincidence of the injured colleague having served the situation so well without the need for planning. But, also, there was a feeling of having learned something from the colleagueโ€™s gratefulness to God.

The day ended on a good note for all concerned, but, more importantly, it left behind an important lesson in the psychological resilience of the people inhabiting the Arabic-speaking Muslim nations of the Middle East and North Africa. It also goes far toward explaining why the people of Gaza and the West Bank are able to suffer so much and still maintain the social cohesiveness of their societies. It is to be found in the power of the two-word phrase, "Thank God!"

โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐ŸŽฌ What #Berdychi looks like from a Bird's Eye Viewโšก๏ธ

๐Ÿ”ดThe RFAF are actively advancing in the #Avdeyevka direction, but this certainly cannot be called an easy walk. Every meter passed is the hard and selfless work of our soldiers.

๐Ÿ”ดIn #Berdychi, the AFU held the defence for a long time and stubbornly, driving more and more reserves into the settlement. The first Abrams burned down in the area of โ€‹โ€‹this village. But, despite all the efforts of the Ukrainian troops, the defence of the AFU was broken through, and the enemy was driven further to the west.

๐Ÿ”ดThe Footage shows that practically nothing remains of the settlement, and the landscape is more reminiscent of the moon.
