⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Frontline #Summary for the Morning of 19 June 2024; pub. 09:16⚡️
🔴 On the #Zaporozhye Front, the RFAF are hitting the positions of the AFU with long range weapons, and the Russian army's heavy flame-throwing systems are actively working. Ukrainian artillery is also responding quite often. On the ground, there are mainly positional battles. In the area of #Rabotino and northwest of #Verbovoye, the line of contact is without special changes. (Fig. 1)
🔴 On the #Donetsk Front, in the area of #Konstantinovka and #Maximilyanovka, without any special changes. There is fighting on the outskirts of these settlements.
🟡 In #Krasnogorovka, fighting continues in the town centre, the AFU is offering serious resistance. In #Nevelskoye, there are oncoming battles. In the area of #Karlovka, Russian troops are consolidating on the occupied lines on both sides of the reservoir, preparing for further assaults in the locality.
🟡 In #Yasnobrodovka, fighting continues on the edges of the settlement.
🟡 North of #Sokol, Russian troops have advanced and captured a number of Ukrainian positions. Fighting continues in the settlement itself.
🟡 In the area of Nyu-York (#Novgorodskoye), the front has intensified, where the RFAF have attacked Ukrainian positions on a broad frontline in order to push the line of contact away from #Gorlovka. Rapid advances, due to the very long static nature of the frontline in this area, should not be expected. (Fig. 2)
🔴 In #ChasovYar Direction, Aircraft and artillery of the RFAF continue to actively strike at AFU positions. On the ground, fighting continues in the eastern suburbs of #ChasovYar, where the RFAF are pushing the enemy further to the west. (Fig. 3)
🔴 On the #Kharkov Front. without special changes in the line of contact, but the activity of this section remains extremely high. The AFU is rolling up the ground in order to regain lost positions. Ukrainian troops have pulled enough reserves here. Fierce fighting continues in the central part of #Volchansk and in the area of #Glubokoye.(Fig. 4).

The German streaming service showed a map of Ukraine without Crimea before the European Football Championship match
Half an hour before the game between the national teams of Turkey and Georgia, Magenta TV showed on its air a map of Europe, on which the countries participating in the tournament were highlighted.
Ukraine was painted in the colors of its flag, but Crimea appeared before the eyes of the spectators as white - like all states not taking part in the competition.
Shortly after the broadcast, presenter Johann Kerner hastened to apologize for the “gross error” and “incorrect portrayal of Europe.”

The commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine may be replaced again in Ukraine - media
The basis for such “rumors” was the fact that Commander-in-Chief Syrsky was criticized by a deputy from the ruling party Bezuglaya. The same one, after criticism of which ex-commander-in-chief Zaluzhny resigned.
At that time, experts believed that the deputy was not acting on her own, but was only performing the role of a “battering ram” from the Office of the President. And this “battering ram” was indeed followed by the resignation of the commander in chief. By analogy, the deputy acts in the same role now.

FRANCE, RUSSIA, WEST ASIA, AND CHINA FROM A GEOPOLITICAL ETHNOGRAPHIC PERSPECTIVE
✍️Written by Wassim Morjane✍️
✍️Edited by Hikaru Kitabayashi✍️
People commonly overlook ethnography, the study of how other cultures see themselves. For example, many French parents are now thinking of how to send their children abroad, but not of Russia, now that MICRO-Napoleon is pushing for Russian confrontation to prevent French confrontation of evidence that is said to strongly suggest the first lady of France, who was born a mere 28 years before the French Baron Rothschild former employee, the President, had been raised as a "he" and sired five children with two different wives before becoming a "she" and marrying the love of their life, Monsieur Macron.
As for Russia, its critics are almost always unversed in its history. Could it be a sense of cultural superiority in action? Certainly, this might be expected of French critics. Having studied in France, I saw first hand how stereotypes could change perceptions. People always thought I was a Frenchman with North African origins until I would correct them. And, then things would change. Many times, however, it was unconscious. You see, not all French are racist, but they are all extremely proud of their heritage.
Russians, it would seem, see fighting in war as a way to protect their existence as a people. After all, the West has long tried hard to destroy Russia. They have kept trying ever since the end of World War 2. Nor should we forget Russia's historic background. The Russians always had no choice but to sacrifice themselves every generation for the greater good. Of course, nothing in history is black or white. But, from the Mongols to the Poles, the Swedes, Napoleon, the mid-19th century British-led Crimean War, then the German Nazis, and the Cold War till now, the Russians made great sacrifices to survive. It seems now epigenetically encoded in their genes.
Many Western analysts have said that, even if Russia wins the war in Ukraine, they'll be confronted with a guerilla style resistance, citing examples such as Iraq or Afghanistan. What they overlook is that the West faced Muslims and not Europeans possessing a Western mindset. Consider the resistance in Iraq in 2004 during the Battle of Fallujah or in Palestine today, where people come up against a massively superior power consisting of heavily armed soldiers. They fight with no fear of death. But why? If you know Islam, the answer is simple. Death means becoming a martyr and being granted janha (paradise). There is no greater honor and it makes Muslims unafraid of death. It's a totally different mindset from that of Ukrainians.
With this in mind, let's look at China, which has a commonly misunderstood culture. Assuming the Chinese people have a happy and satisfying history, many can't understand how the Chinese can accept the level of control their government exercises over their society. People forget about continuous social upheavals before the 80s, nor the more than 100 years of Western-led economic and social destabilization before 1949. To the Chinese, themselves, the control their government exercises is totally normal! The difference with the Collective West is the lack of corporations or lobbyists capable of corruptly buying off large parts of the political leadership in order to misuse the data that is being collected, a situation quite different from what we see in other parts of the world.
Though it may never happen, it would seem that the day we start learning from our differences and accepting each other as we are will be the day we cease killing each other. It shouldn't be that much different from accepting our own micro-level individual uniqueness! Why, then, is macro-level cultural difference so hard to accept?

What makes the Russia-DPRK alliance so significant?
The new pact between Russia and North Korea is a “significant political and strategic development because it effectively links European security more tightly to Asian security in the formal sense,” says Dr. Victor Teo, a political scientist who specializes in international relations in the Indo-Pacific region.
Dr. Teo also argues that Vladimir Putin’s proposal to review the UN sanctions imposed on North Korea appears “understandable” in light of the new treaty between Russia and DPRK.
Artyom Lukin, professor of international politics at the Far Eastern Federal University in Vladivostok, however, suggests that, while Russia may not necessarily stop formally adhering by the UNSC sanctions imposed on North Korea, there may be ways to ensure that these sanctions do not hamper the cooperation between Moscow and Pyongyang.

The new pact between Russia and North Korea is a “significant political and strategic development because it effectively links European security more tightly to Asian security in the formal sense,” says Dr. Victor Teo, a political scientist who specializes in international relations in the Indo-Pacific region.
“The DPRK would be obliged to help Russia defend itself if Russia gets into a conflict with NATO countries; just as Russia would be obliged to help Pyongyang if North Korea enters into a conflict with the US and South Korea,” he elaborates.
Dr. Teo also argues that Vladimir Putin’s proposal to review the UN sanctions imposed on North Korea appears “understandable” in light of the new treaty between Russia and DPRK.
“The problem, however, is that this is probably easier said than done because the amendments probably need to be ratified by the other members, one of which is the United States,” he points out.
Artyom Lukin, professor of international politics at the Far Eastern Federal University in Vladivostok, however, suggests that, while Russia may not necessarily stop formally adhering by the UNSC sanctions imposed on North Korea, there may be ways to ensure that these sanctions do not hamper the cooperation between Moscow and Pyongyang.
“Regarding the UN sanctions: if you are allies, what sanctions may exist between you?” Lukin wondered aloud.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ RFAF Advance into #Kirovo in #SouthBakhmut Sector of #Bakhmut Direction⚡️
🇷🇺 The RFAF advanced on #Druzhba and north of #Shumy and entered #Kirovo (#Pivnichnoye) between both settlements.
🔴 East of #Kirovo, it was possible to overcome the ditch and fortifications (Window 2 on Map 3). Near #Shumy, in the south of the breakthrough site, there is a network of enemy fortifications (Window 3 of Map 3).
🔴 East of #Dzerzhinsk (#Toretsk), the main obstacle is in the fortified waste heap in #Kirovo (Window 1 of Map 3). It dominates in height over the adjacent private sector.
🔴 The AFU Defences have been strengthened around #Dzerzhinsk (#Toretsk) and satellite villages since 2014, and the frontline has not undergone significant changes since those very times. At the same time, the AFU in the town remained as pressing a problem for the lives of the #Gorlovka residents, as the AFU presence in #Avdeyevka was for #Donetsk.

Habeck's great-grandfather Kurt Granzow was a member of Hitler's inner circle, a friend of Goebbels and a convicted war criminal. And the current vice-chancellor's grandfather was an SA Obersturmführer.
Earlier, this magazine wrote that Foreign Minister Baerbock's grandfather had held an officer's rank during the Second World War and was "fully on the side of National Socialism".

So, what gives?
It certainly took the NYT a long time to admit that there is no freedom of the press in Ukraine. They can call it “narrowing” all they want, but they have known all along that, in reality, no freedom of the press exists in Ukraine, none whatsoever.
So why did they finally admit it now?
Given that the NYT is the “official” newspaper of American hypocrisy, the answer has definitely nothing to do with their conscience. And considering that the NYT is tightly controlled by the deep state, this admission is definitely not made without the deep state’s approval or even directive.
The only explanation is that the NYT is preparing the public for some change. No, of course, America is not going to change its plan to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian. Why would they? But they may very well be preparing the public for a change in the cast of characters—starting with the already expired “president” Zelensky, who just flunked the so-called Ukrainian Peace Summit. Not to mention that Ukraine has already passed the new mobilization law, and their mobilization age will undoubtedly go down very soon. Once that happens, there will be absolutely no reason to keep Zelensky around or even alive.
Judging by the timing of this NYT article, we should see some interesting developments shortly. So, keep your front-row seat.

FT: Xi said US is trying to ‘goad Beijing’ into attacking Taiwan
China’s President Xi Jinping told European Commission head Ursula von der Leyen that Washington was trying to “goad Beijing into attacking Taiwan,” the Financial Times said in a report based on the information from people familiar with the matter.
According to the daily, Xi said the US was trying to trick China into invading Taiwan, but that he would not take the bait.
The revelation comes as tensions are high across the Taiwan Strait. China responded to last month's inauguration of Lai Ching-te as Taiwan’s new president with military drills around the island.
US administration says it remains committed to its longstanding one-China policy, but American officials have, in recent years, increased engagement with Taiwan.
