He triggered drills in Russia to practice the use of tactical nuclear weapons. He said Moscow would consider changing the doctrine that outlines when it would use its nuclear arsenal. He reminded unnamed NATO countries in Europe of their small territories and dense populations, implying they could be easily obliterated.
And this week, the Russian leader took his threats to another corner of the globe, reviving a Cold War-era mutual Defense pact with North Korea and warning that he may arm Kim Jong-un in response to the loosened restrictions on Ukraineโs use of Western arms.
His ominous warnings, at the end of a two-day trip to North Korea and Vietnam, placed Russia and the West in a new round of escalation over Ukraine. They come amid distraction and political uncertainty among Kievโs chief backers, with potentially game-changing elections on the horizon in the United States and France.
Beyond using nuclear weapons or causing more destruction on the battlefield in Ukraine, the Russian leader is seeking to prove he can pressure and antagonize the West in other ways and other places.

Russian-North Korean pact is a major loss for US allies in region
The allies of the US in Asia, particularly South Korea and Japan, were the biggest losers of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership signed between Russia and the Democratic Peopleโs Republic of Korea (DPRK).
Late last year, the Japanese government approved a record military budget, making it the third highest military spender in the world, after the US and China. Just a decade ago, Japan had a pacifist defense policy and would only use its military in direct self-defense. In 2014, that restriction was removed and Japan started expanding its military capabilities.
This โis not consoling to the DPRK,โ added Horne. โNo doubt [it] motivated this recent embrace of Moscow.โ
โIt is a strategic defeat for US imperialism in the sense that Russia is now strengthened diplomatically [and] perhaps even militarily,โ Horne said.

The allies of the US in Asia, particularly South Korea and Japan, were the biggest losers of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership signed between Russia and the Democratic Peopleโs Republic of Korea (DPRK).
โRecall that Japan has been lobbying Moscow incessantly for decades for the return of the Kuril Islands,โ explained historian and author Dr. Gerald Horne on Sputnikโs The Critical Hour. โNow you see that Japan is staggered by the prospect that North Korea, which specializes in sending missiles into Japanese space, now has a formidable ally in the form of Moscow.โ

โIt is also a failure of the entire Cold War era, perpetrated and driven by US imperialism. That is to say that somehow Washington did not realize โ I guess they did not study diplomatic history or political geography โ that Russia, the largest country by territory on planet Earth, has been designed to play a major role in world politics be they led by communists in Moscow or non-communists in Moscow,โ concluded Horne. โNow we see the validation of that particular thesis, because we see that Moscow [has been] resurrected.โ

He will arrive in Moscow in the near future, the Department for External Church Relations of the Moscow Patriarchate said. The Russian Orthodox Church added that Jonathan is in dire need of treatment and medical rehabilitation.
In Ukraine, the bishop was sentenced to 5 years in prison with confiscation of property. Local authorities accused him of attempting to overthrow the constitutional order in the country and encroaching on its territorial integrity.

๐ฎ๐ฑโ๐ต๐ธIsrael-Gaza Conflict: June 22-23 (Recap)
1๏ธโฃ Emergency workers are scrambling to reach survivors in north Gaza after Israeli attacks killed at least 42 Palestinians in Shati refugee camp and the Tuffah neighbourhood. The bombings followed an assault on al-Mawasi camp in southern Gaza that killed 25 people and resulted in a โflood of wounded peopleโ, according to a Red Cross official.
2๏ธโฃ Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank tied a wounded Palestinian man to the hood of a military vehicle during a raid in the city of Jenin, appearing to use him as a human shield.
3๏ธโฃ An estimated 150,000 Israelis turned out for protests against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahuโs government, calling for a ceasefire deal and early elections.
4๏ธโฃ An Israeli air raid near al-Jawhara Tower in northern Gaza City has killed at least three people and wounded several others.
5๏ธโฃ EU foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell has called for an independent investigation into the al-Mawasi attack.
6๏ธโฃ The Palestinian government welcomed Cubaโs decision to join South Africaโs case accusing Israel of genocide to the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
7๏ธโฃ Two United States Air Force members are requesting to become conscientious objectors over the USโs support of Israelโs war in Gaza, according to NBC News.
8๏ธโฃ A 25-year-old soldier from the 205th Battalion was killed in fighting in the southern Gaza Strip, the Israeli military has said.
9๏ธโฃ Parts of the Gaza floating dock washed up to Frishman Beach in Tel Aviv, according to Israeli media.
At least 37,551 people including more than 15,694 children, have been killed and over 85,911 injured in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. The death toll from the October 7 attack in Israel stands at 1,139.

๐ป1. #Karlovka:
๐ก Fighting on the eastern edge of the village.
๐ก The enemy has almost completely lost the area of dachas.
๐ก The RFAF are expanding the control zone along the shores of the Karlovskoye Reservoir. The enemy is preparing for defence in the central and western parts.
๐ป2. #Yasnobrodovka:
๐ก RFAF assault groups are working in the village, it has not yet been completely cleared.
๐ก The grey zone south of it has been partially eliminated.
๐ก It has not been possible to cover it from the north yet.
๐ป3. #Novosyolovka1st:
๐ก The enemy still retains control over the village, deterring RFAF attacks from #Umanskoye and #Novopokrovskoye.
๐ก There is some progress, but it is too early to talk about a full-fledged entry.
๐ป4. #Sokol:
๐ก Fighting is taking place on the eastern edge.
๐ก The village itself is almost completely destroyed.
๐ก The RFAF are advancing north of it, bypassing the fortified area near the village.
๐ก In direction of progress, there are no changes so far.
๐ป5. #Novoaleksandrovka:
๐ก The RFAF have launched an offensive against #Vozdvizhenka, which covers the #Konstantinovka -#Krasnoarmeysk motorway.
๐ก Over the day, they managed to get from #Novoaleksandrovka to the outskirts of #Vozdvizhenka and start fighting there.
๐ก These actions obviously pose the greatest threat to the enemy's logistics in the #Donbass, so we can expect an intensification of the enemy reserves transfer to this area.
๐ป6.#Kalinovo:
๐ก After expanding the control zone north of #Arkhangelskoye and moving southwest of #Kalinovo, the RFAF are increasing pressure on the area between #Novoaleksandrovka and #Kalinovo, trying to avoid a frontal assault on the fortified area covering #Kalinovo from the south in order to bypass it west of the settlement.
๐ก Today, the enemy has lost a number of positions and landings in this area.
๐ In General, the "Ocheretino Breakthrough" continues to generate local crises for the AFU, creating new threats to the integrity of the front.
๐ก Despite the efforts made, the AFU were unable to radically change the dynamics of events here, which is due to the constraint of a significant part of the enemy's reserves for the battle in the #Kharkov region. 2-3 brigades from there could make it difficult for the RFAF to advance west of #Ocheretino. But while they are not there, the RFAF continue to accumulate tactical results, which can be converted into more significant operational achievements in the event of a breakthrough to the #Konstantinovka - #Krasnoarmeysk motorway.

๐๐ท๐บ๐บ๐ฆโ๏ธ Two Majors #Summary #Overview for the Morning of 23 June 2024; pub. 07:01๐
๐ The past week has been characterised by a blatant war escalation on the part of the enemy. Strikes are being carried out on oil refineries and attempts are being made to strike nuclear facilities (#Kursk NPP). According to received info, Western weapons are being used not only in #Belgorod, but also in #Rostov and #Kursk regions. The lack of promotion of this info by official resources (only missiles shot down are added to the daily MoD summary) indicates Moscow's reluctance to go down the path of a direct or asymmetric response, which can be explained by the Supreme's trip to #NorthKorea and @Vietnam against the background of #NATO's undisguised preparations for war with #Russia. That is, we still need time to prepare.
๐น#NATO, in turn, is increasing the pace of military preparations, also counting on a period of 2 to 5 years before a full-scale direct confrontation. These terms are conditioned both by the need to establish military production of the same SAMs and artillery shells, and by the preparation of mobilisation measures, which are already included in the legislative acts and mobilisation plans of the #US, #Germany and even the Baltic States. Until then, the role of a suicidal battering ram is fulfilled by #Ukraine, which is regarded by Washington only as a testing ground for arms.
๐นKiev is mobilising the population, not hesitating to expose the TCC itself as a lightning rod from Zelensky: it is important to keep the powerless masses in control, even at the expense of long-term prospects, which Bankova certainly does not live by.
๐นIn the MoD is a demonstrative dismantling of the toxic legacy of the previous failed team. Belousov's showy trips and informational accents are aimed at restoring the confidence of the military class in the leadership. A striking event was the presentation of awards to the Wagners by the deputy defence minister, especially on the eve of the anniversary of the Prigozhin riot, which even now is still referred to by many as the "March of Justice", the demand for which is extremely high in our country.
๐นOn the front, the situation has not changed much, although the Russian Army retains the initiative in most areas and is really grinding down the enemy's manpower. The enemy is gradually finding resistance to FABs and UMPCs, so the RFAF are increasingly using the latest UMPCs, which can be launched not only from aircraft, but also from MLRSs.
๐นA problem remains countering the destruction of our air defence systems, for which the AFU staged a targeted hunt, sparing Western missiles. In addition, the enemy is able to launch dozens of aircraft-type UAVs every day; our burning oil refineries show that there is still a lot of work to neutralise this threat. It also cannot be said that problems with communications, electronic warfare, transport, and timely failure of material assets have been fully resolved.
๐นThe political leadership does not yet intend to sound the alarm bells and use the full potential of the entire nation, which, apparently, is due to the forecasts about the long-term nature of the war, the need to preserve social stability, as well as the economic potential. As we understand, it seems inexpedient to spend this resource now on #Ukraine.
๐นHowever, there are excesses in preserving the people's tranquility: the same governor of the Belgorod region, during another personal visit to the border regions, pointed out the actual need for voluntary evacuation of the elderly and children, stressing that the federal centre had provided resources for this purpose.
๐ Thus, the Russian Army continues offensive actions at the front, trying to conserve personnel and reserves in offensive battles, while the defence establishment is busy eliminating deficiencies within itself and adjusting to the efficiency of the military machine, linking the work of the rear and the front to ensure a long war.

The tourist flow of foreigners to Moscow increased by 40%. In the first three months of 2024 alone, half a million foreign travelers arrived in the capital.
The majority are from the countries of the AsiaโPacific region (56% of the foreign tourist flow). The Middle East is making up for lost time during the pandemic years. The number of tourists from there is approaching the figures of 2019. Foreigners from oil and gas-rich regions take their hard-earned money to five-star hotels and luxury restaurants more often than others.
And here are the top 3 countries from which Moscow was most often visited last year: China, Turkey and India. For the whole of 2023, 2.3 million foreign tourists visited the capital - 30% more than the year before. So we are waiting for a new record.
People come to Moscow mainly for a rich cultural program โ to see how almost 900 years of the city's history are inscribed into modern reality and infrastructure. And, of course, hang out at various events.
