Putin's key statements from the press conference following his trip to North Korea and Vietnam

🌏 Russia is thinking about possible changes in its nuclear doctrine - this is due to the work of the enemy to lower the threshold for the use of nuclear weapons.

🌏 The agreement with North Korea provides for mutual assistance in case of military aggression. South Korea has nothing to fear in this regard if it does not plan to attack Pyongyang.

🌏 There is no novelty in the agreement with the DPRK, the parties have changed almost nothing compared to the agreement concluded in the 60s, which expired.

🌏 Sanctions against North Korea are inhumane and restrictions cannot be imposed for political reasons.

🌏 For Russia, a strategic defeat will mean the termination of its statehood, which means there is no need to be afraid, we must go to the end.

🌏 The West will pin all unpopular decisions on Zelensky and remove him in the first half of 2025.

🌏 If Ukraine links negotiations with Moscow with the withdrawal of Russian troops, then this will never happen.

🌏 Russia does not ask anyone for help in conducting its special operation.

🌏 The West’s reaction to peace initiatives was expected, but sensible politicians will think about the initiatives if they want to end the conflict.

🌏 The supply of weapons by South Korea to Ukraine will be a mistake, Russia may take responsive measures that are unlikely to please the leadership of South Korea.

Ukraine’s copycats are struggling to replicate Russia's deadly Lancet drone

Kiev has presented a copy of Russia's state-of-the-art Lancet drone named "Bulava" with two sets of X-wings at the international defense exhibition Eurosatory 2024 in France.

The Lancet kamikaze drone gained overall attention last spring and summer due to its successful use against a wide range of Ukrainian military assets, including NATO-grade armored vehicles, howitzers and air defenses.

What is known about Ukraine’s attempts to recreate the Lancet?

🌏 Bulava has yet to prove effective on the battlefield, is claimed to be jamming-proof; has a take-off weight of 11 kg, with a 3.6 kg warhead; boasts a cruising speed of 100 km/h; can stay in the air for more than 50 minutes and hit targets at a distance of over 60 km, as per Ukrainian website Defense Express.

🌏 On February 18, Ukrainian Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov told the Ukrainian Diya channel that four Ukrainian analoges of the Lancet had undergone preliminary tests. He said that the newly designed copies of Lancet could hit targets at a distance of only 30-40 km.

🌏 Although Ukraine couldn't start mass production of the sophisticated UAV immediately, the minister assumed it would be possible to set production at about 100 Lancet-style UAVs per month in the future.

🌏 In August 2023, Fedorov announced that Ukrainian manufacturers created an analog of Russia's Lancet drone under the name "Perun," however, there were no major revelations about its effectiveness on the battlefield.

❗US Envoy Kritenbrink's Hanoi visit to save face with Russia — Reuters

US Assistant Secretary of State Daniel Kritenbrink will visit Hanoi to emphasize America's ‘commitment’ to a free and open Indo-Pacific region. His trip aims to reinforce US support for Vietnam's independence and prosperity while discussing objectives for upcoming ASEAN-related ministerial meetings.

The envoy for East Asian and Pacific affairs "will also reaffirm the United States' support for a strong, independent, resilient, and prosperous Vietnam,” a statement read.

Too small for Biden?

🗣🇷🇺🇰🇵🐕 Russian President Vladimir Putin was presented with two unique dogs of the North Korean Pungsan breed.

This breed cannot be found outside the DPRK, reports 360.ru. They are a national treasure of North Korea. They are dexterous and strong hunters who are able to cope with boar, bear and even a tiger. At the same time, dogs are excellent protectors and companions.

Pungsans live 12-15 years. They say that Pungsans rarely bark and do not get into fights without reason. They value their living space very much, and a boundary violator may have a hard time.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️Front Report for the Evening of 20 June 2024⚡️

🔵From the #Kherson Front, no news. The fighting has shifted to the islands, the RF Aerospace Forces are hitting AFU facilities on the right bank.

🔵In #Zaporozhye and #Ugledar Directions, without changes. Positional battles are still taking place north of #Rabotino and in #Urozhaynoye.

🔵On the South #Avdeyevka Front, the fighting in the centre of #Krasnogorovka continues unabated. According to field reports, Russian stormtroopers are pushing through the enemy's defences from the east and are trying to take the AFU garrison into pincers, which they are resisting fiercely. In #Maksimilyanovka, fighting has begun at the eastern edge where the RFAF are trying to gain a foothold. At #Konstantinovka artillery preparation for the assault continues. in #Karlovka, fighting is taking place at the edge, although some Ukrainian sources say that our forces already control half of the village. On the northern bank of the reservoir, ours are fighting for positions in a cottage village.

🔵In #Avdeyevka Direction, there is dense fighting in #Yasnobrodovka. Recent statements about the withdrawal of most of the AFU from the village are ahead of events.

🔵On the North #Avdeyevka Front, in #Sokol, where the enemy is even trying to counterattack, it is not easier for us. Northwest of #Novoaleksandrovka, aviation is striking powerfully at Vozdvizhenka, the assault on which is likely to begin any day now.

🔵In #Bakhmut Direction, in the far south, in the area of #Toretsk, there are battles in the northerly area. After yesterday’s powerful strike in several directions, the RFAF are consolidating their positions, and the AFU, which did not expect such maneuvers, are not yet ready to launch a concentrated counterattack In #ChasovYar there are battles for the eastern (he wrote western) multi-storey buildings, the window of opportunity for the AFU is getting narrower. The destruction of most of the canal crossings by our forces and the dense work of UAVs and artillery have significantly complicated the enemy's logistics. From #Kalinovka, it is reported that the RFAF have squeezed the AFU behind the Seversky Donets-Donbas Canal. This will bring the full liberation of the village closer.

🔵In #Svatovo Direction, in the #Seversk sector, fighting continues at #Razdolovka and attempts to pass along the railway towards #Vyemka. From #Liman sector, reports about the advance of our army near the village of #Ploshchanka. There is fighting in the area of #Terny. In #Kupyansk sector, there are battles near #Stelmakhovka and Stepnaya Novoselka, but without much advancement. They report the destruction of the bridge across the Oskol between #Gorokhovatka and #Borovaya. This should seriously complicate the supply of the AFU's Kupyansk Grouping, the diversions routes are quite far away.

🔵The #Kharkov Front remained virtually unchanged over the course of the day. In #Volchansk, heavy fighting continues. There were rumors that the Ukrainian command was sending reserves consisting of mobilised prisoners to this site. In #Glubokoye the situation is no less serious; the AFU are constantly attacking, testing the strength of our defence. Today a video of the first use of the heavy FAB-3000 aerial bomb on a AFU facility in #Liptsy has been 👉published.
