The New York Times has published what is claimed to be the Istanbul Agreement between Russia and Ukraine, which was prepared in 2022 but never signed.
Key points from the document:
๐ The guarantor states of Ukraine's security and neutrality were Great Britain, China, Russia, the USA, France, with Belarus and Turkey mentioned in parentheses.
๐ Ukraine was required to maintain permanent neutrality and not engage in wars on the side of a guarantor state or any third country.
๐ Ukraine was not allowed, without the consent of the guarantor states, to conduct military exercises involving foreign armed forces.
๐ The guarantor states pledged not to enter into military alliances with Ukraine, not to interfere in its internal affairs, and not to deploy troops on its territory.
๐ All mutual sanctions and bans between Russia and Ukraine were to be lifted, but certain provisions of the agreement did not apply to Crimea, Sevastopol, and territories marked on one of the appendices (a map of which NYT did not provide).
๐ Pages 11 and 12 specify the maximum personnel, weaponry, and equipment limits for the Ukrainian Armed Forces during peacetime: no more than 342 tanks, 1029 armoured vehicles, and 96 multiple rocket launchers, based on Russia's position.
๐ The maximum firing range for multiple rocket launchers and missile armaments was noted as not exceeding 280 km, and Ukraine also committed not to produce or purchase weaponry domestically with a greater firing range.
Earlier, David Arakhamia, leader of the "Servant of the People" faction (Zelensky's party) in parliament, stated that it was Boris Johnson who convinced Ukraine to reject peace with Russia in 2022.

๐บ๐ฆ The video shows the town of Brody in the Lvov region. Mobilization officers are trying to shove a poor man into a car right in front of the town council building. All of this is happening with the police's connivance, who are happily assisting them. Only the passersby seem to care.
The biggest fear of the mobilization officers is being caught on camera. When that happens, their numerous "exploits" become known to everyone. Thatโs why one of the TCC officers is yelling at the person filming.
But their faces and the car have already been captured on camera.

A SOUTHERN SINGLE MOTHER'S VIEW OF AMERICA'S RACIAL DIVIDE: PART TWOโON THE PROPAGATION OF RACIAL FEAR
โ๏ธWritten by SVLโ๏ธ
โ๏ธEdited by Hikaru Kitabayashiโ๏ธ
A majority of southern white Americans consider themselves Republican, though the Republican Party was initially the party of the northern, Union states and represented a northern way of thinking. On the other hand, the Democratic Party was the governing political party of southern whites. One reason for the popularity of the Republican Party appears to be that many white people have developed a fear of appearing racist but have also found a need to embody that same racism out of a fear for their safety.
Black American males, on the other hand, just as white American males, for the most part, are also ruled by fear, which, in America, is to the detriment of both races. People often confuse the concept primitive and related words such as savage or wild with words like bad, ill-mannered, or misbehaved, and make them descriptive of the characteristics of non-whites. Moreover, this can be attributed to the upbringing of black Americans who have to deal with the aftereffects of slavery and segregation, with the likely absence of a father figure with admirable qualities to steer the path of the child, and the exceptional situation in which black American women are forced to become proficient in using the government welfare system as a means of securing any income at all instead of as a method of just getting extra assistance to keep their children's future from getting stuck in the same financial rut that their lives were always stuck in.
Black women are influenced by the entertainment industry as much as black American males, and it is entertainment that seems to be the only guiding light of the 90-2000s generation. And, at what point in time were there ever successful black leaders and role models that didn't get assassinated or murdered? As it is, the only black influencers that continue to survive are degrading and disgusting rappers in the entertainment industry. Mix that with fashion influenced by homosexual men, put a rapper in it, make him hold his testicles while bouncing around in front of a camera, and bam!โThere's your current, modern, disruptive but up to date, black American generation.
Where are the role models that DO absolutely exist in America, those of the black adult male working in a factory or the oil industry or in a suit at a law firm or in a white overcoat in a scientific Lab? Why aren't they made modern day role models? What rappers don't tell young people is that a rap video is 3 minutes and 53 seconds in length, but these easily influenced youth are repeating that entertainment clip on a loop for their entire lives. Its an endless cycle. They never develop outside of what they're shown, so they don't become the factory worker or the lawyer, because it's more fashionable to be a criminal represented by a lawyer for stealing from a factory worker.
So you have black American youth learning that, if they become as influential as Martin Luther King or Malcolm X, then they will be killed. But, at the same time, the repetition of the speeches from that era in the 60s tends to put these young people on a path to believe that THAT timeline is the CURRENT state of politics and world affairs and black American culture. But, it's the opposite. Or is it? The thought of becoming influential in a positive way leading the masses as a straight black American male could still possibly get them killed.

The New York Times (NYT) has released what it claims to be the draft peace agreements (PDF) negotiated during the Russia-Ukraine talks in 2022. These documents were discussed from February to April 2022. Disagreements included issues related to Ukraine's armaments and its potential membership in the European Union. This was the only instance when Ukrainian and Russian officials engaged in direct negotiations.
The NYT presents versions of the draft agreements from March 17 and April 15, 2022, as well as a joint "communiquรฉ" agreed upon during the negotiations in Istanbul on March 29. All documents are published in full in both Russian and English, and their authenticity has been confirmed by participants in the negotiations.

โก๏ธ๐ท๐บ๐บ๐ฆ๐ฅ On the Losses of Russian Armoured Vehicles during the Advances - #Maksimilyanovka Videoโก๏ธ
๐ฌ Basically, most RFAF advance maps are based on a video from the opposing side, which analysts from both sides use to determine the coordinates and evaluate the incident and convert it into maps. The coordinates are identical. The Ukrainian sees the front coordinates as a grey zone. In the video descriptions, the Ukrop usually exaggerates massively in order to make the loss of territory more bearable.
๐ด During the Advance on #Novosyolovka1st, I ๐ posted today, they claim that the Russian lost 8 tanks and 8 IFV.
๐ด During the advance to #Maksimilyanovka, I also ๐ posted today, 13 of 28 armoured vehicles are said to have been destroyed.
๐ก It is currently unclear whether the Russian was able to establish himself there.
โ๏ธ Regardless of whether the claims are true or not, any observer recognises that the Russian is indeed suffering heavy losses in armoured vehicles, while the personnel losses claimed by the Western troll entities appear to be fabricated to confuse the Russian public.
๐ The question of efficiency inevitably arises. The Russian is experiencing what the Ukrop suffered from during the so-called counteroffensive last year, with the difference that the Russian can at least convert the losses into territorial gains.
๐ก The problem is also known at a higher level. The units are inadequately equipped to defend themselves against the threat of drones. It remains to be seen whether and, if so, what consequences will be drawn.

๐ญ๐บ๐บ๐ฆ๐ช๐บ Hungaryโs conditions on Transcarpathia were included in the project on European integration of Ukraine. Now, for negotiations on accession to the EU to be successful, Kiev needs to โreturn the rights taken away from the Hungarians of Transcarpathia over the past few years,โ said Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjรกrtรณ.
Szijjรกrtรณ also noted that some EU countries did not even want to hear about the Hungarian conditions, but eventually accepted the demands. According to the Hungarian authorities, 150 thousand Hungarians now live in the Transcarpathian region of Ukraine.
โ๏ธIn March 2022, Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine Irina Vereshchuk accused the Hungarian authorities of trying to achieve the transfer of Transcarpathia under their control. Then Szijjรกrtรณ noted that Budapest is ready, if necessary, to take measures to rescue and protect Hungarians living in the Transcarpathian region.

New projections suggested only about 40 pro-Macron MPs would reach the second-round vote on July 7, in run-offs mainly between populist hard-Right or Left-wing candidates for the 577-strong assembly, according to two studies for Le Figaro and BFM TV.
The findings suggest French presidentโs decision to dissolve parliament and hold early elections could end in electoral meltdown and see him a lame duck for the remaining three years of his presidency starting next month.
Has Macronโs move to try and halt the rise of Marine Le Penโs National Rally spectacularly backfired?

It is not at all clear how long it will take for Moldova and Ukraine to join the EU once negotiations begin, reports Der Tagesspiegel.
EU ambassadors earlier agreed to start negotiations on 25 June. The decision is due to be formally endorsed at a meeting of EU ministers next week.

"Turkey, for example, became an EU candidate in 1999 and is currently further away from membership than any other candidate country," the paper said.
