PACE voted for payment of money to Ukrainians to return to Ukraine, - writes ukrainian deputy Goncharenko

That is, after the end of hostilities [or before, hahaha], Ukrainians who will return to live in Ukraine will be able to receive financial assistance from European countries, said the People's Deputy.

Additionally, he wrote that PACE voted today to guarantee that refugees' children are able study Ukrainian while they are en Europe.

European countries should give immediate priority to ensuring the teaching of the Ukrainian language for Ukrainian children in educational institutions.

Inna's note: first, the damn wall for chihuahuas, now the payment for voluntary return... The show must go on.
SecondIy I do not imagine what every small school here must do to ensure that kids study ukrainian, to be frank. Well, voted does not mean implemented immediately.

⚡️🇮🇱🇵🇸⚔️ Escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Zone until the End of 27 June 2024⚡️

🔹In the north of the #GazaStrip, the IDF unexpectedly began an offensive in the Al-Judaida area in the southeast of the capital of the Palestinian enclave. The Israelis advanced along Abu al-Qass Street and reached the Tunis Cemetery.

🔹In the south of the Enclave, IDF units continue the operation in Rafah. Major fighting continues to take place in Tell al-Sultan and the al-Shaboura Camp, where Israelis are fighting along Taha Hassein Street and at the Al-Najma Crossing.

🔹In the West Bank, traditional raids by Israeli security forces took place, detaining about 30 people. And in Jenin, local militants staged several ambushes, as a result of which one IDF militant has been killed and 22 more were injured.

🔹Along the border with #Lebanon, the tense situation remains. Israeli artillery and aviation worked on border and rear settlements in southern #Lebanon. In turn, Hezbollah attacked IDF targets.

🔹In #Syria, the Israeli Air Force again carried out launches in the outskirts of Damascus, hitting the building of an Iranian construction company in Seyda Zeinab. And in the very south of #Syria, an air defence radar in Tell al-San was hit.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️Situation on the #Kharkov Front by the End of 27 Jun 2024⚡️

🔴AFU Formations try to advance. From time to time carrying out counterattacks in several areas to dislodge Russian troops from their positions:

🔹In the #Glubokoye area, the enemy from #Liptsy conducts raid attacks, using infantry and armoured vehicles. All attacks are successfully repelled by the RFAF. Operational-tactical aviation is actively operating in #Liptsy and nearby forest plantations, including covering enemy armored groups that are forming.

🔹In the #Zelenoye area, there are still battles near the settlement. It is not possible to dislodge the enemy from strongholds near the village due to the lack of cover in the vast fields and the high activity of enemy UAVs.

🔹In the #Staritsa-#Bugrovatka section, clashes continue. AFU formations from time to time make forays from the side of #Izbitskoye and the forest south of the Volchya River from #Grafskoye. In fact, both sides are conducting raids on each other's positions without significant changes in their zones of control.

🔹In #Volchansk, fighting continues unabated in the area of ​​multi-storey buildings, which remains under the stable AFU control, even despite multiple air and artillery strikes, including the TOS-1A “Solntsepek”.
🟡On the site of the Aggregate Plant, fighting is also ongoing. The private sector east of Oles Dosvitnogo Street and Korolenko Street to Zernovaya and Khleboroba Street is located in a vast “grey zone”, where RFAF assault groups and the AFU sometimes exchange fire from neighbouring buildings, which is quite typical for urban battles.

🔹To the east in #Tikhoye area, no significant changes have been observed, and to the south of Volchaya, Russian artillery crews are constantly firing at enemy armoured vehicles and personnel. Targets are also hit by aircraft and UAV operators, knocking out AFU artillery and tanks to a depth of up to 30 km from the front.

❗️Enemy resources claim that in the area of ​​Sotnitsky Kazachok west of the current battle zones, fights has broken out and the activity of RFAF special forces and intelligence officers is being recorded. However, we cannot confirm or deny this info.

📋🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Two Majors #Summary for the Morning of 28 June 2024; pub. 07:00📍

🔹In the #Kharkov direction, the AFU conducted combat reconnaissance in the vicinity of #Glubokoye and north of #Liptsy. In #Volchansk, the RFAF continue to assault a multi-storey building. The enemy continues to bring reinforcements to the front, while the enemy's channels have published estimates of the AFU soldiers that the most combat-ready AFU units have been transferred to #Kharkov region to stabilise the situation, and now this is affecting the operational situation in other directions.

🔹North of the #Torskoye ledge, the RFAF are using raids to create conditions for covering the settlements of #Nevskoye and #Makeyevka (#LPR).

🔹In the #Seversk sector, the RFAF are fighting in #Razdolovka. Hostilities have been resumed near #Belogorovka (#LPR).

🔹In #ChasovYar's eastern part, there is fierce fighting. Multi-storey buildings are being ironed with heavy weapons of the RFAF Armed Forces. 🎬👇 On the flanks, the AFU is trying to engage in counter-fighting and prevent our troops from expanding their encirclement. #Andreyevka and #Kleshcheevka appear to be in the grey zone.

🔹In the #Toretsk (#Dzerzhinsk) direction, our troops have recently interceded with attacks, reporting successes near #Zheleznoye (#Zaliznoye on the map) and #Yuzhnoye (#Pivdennoye on the map).

🔹West of #Avdeyevka, the RFAF are attacking in the direction of #Novosyolovka1st. Near #Yasnoborodovka, our troops are pushing through the AFU defence in the direction of the village, attacking with the support of motorised rifle units. We managed to gain a foothold in the built-up area near #Yasnobrodovka. On the southern edge of the front at the positions near #Karlovka, the RFAF are using all available firepower to grind down the enemy's defence lines.

🔹On the #Zaporozhye front, our troops are reported to be advancing in the area of #Zagornoye. Having destroyed the advanced positions of the AFU together with their personnel, they advanced by more than 1 km.

🔹In the #Kherson direction, short-term small arms battles with the remnants of small groups of the AFU near the Antonovsky Bridge. Our units are having a hard time advancing in the island zone: the constant work of enemy drones makes it difficult to bring drinking water, rotate personnel and evacuate the wounded. The hot season makes it difficult for soldiers to contract infectious diseases if they drink water from reservoirs and wells.

💥In the #Tambov region, at 04.35 in the Michurinsky municipal district, a UAV was recorded arriving at an oil depot. In the morning the fire was being extinguished.

💥#Belgorod region suffers from Nazi strikes on civilians. A kamikaze drone attacked a special vehicle of an agricultural enterprise in the village of Bogun-Gorodok, Borisovsky district. The driver was wounded. Also attacked by drones were Novaya Tavolzhanka, Shebekinsky urban district, #Novopetrovka, Valuysky urban district, #Grayvoron (civilian wounded), #Kazachok, Grayvoron urban district, #Demidovka, Krasnoyaruzhsky district, #Berezovka, Borisovsky district, #Shebekino and #Shamino.

💥In #Kursk region, #Obukhovka and #Gordeyevka of Korenevsky district, Sudzha Checkpoint, #Zaoleshenka, #Guyevo and #Oleshnya of Sudzhansky district, #Tyotkino, #Vesyoloye and #Yelizavetovka of Glushkovsky district, #Kucherov of Belovsky district were repeatedly shelled. Drone attacks near the settlement of #Tyotkino, the villages of #Vesyoloye and #Khodeykovo, the Zarya Farm in the Glushkovsky district, the village of #Nikolayevo-Daryino in the Suzhansky district, and the village of #Lokot in the Rylsky district.
🛡Electronic warfare means suppressed 32 Ukrainian drones in the border areas.

🛡In the #Bryansk region, five enemy aircraft-type UAVs were destroyed over the Trubchevsky and Navlinsky districts.

‘In command Trump and stumbling Biden’: How world press reacted to first US presidential debate

The June 27 presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump at CNN's Arizona studios has made headlines in the US and around the world, with many acknowledging POTUS' "disastrous" performance during the event.

🌏CNN cited Biden’s “poor showing”, while CBS News pointed to the US president’s efforts “to struggle with hoarse voice” at the beginning of the debate.

🌏The New York Times went further by reporting that Biden’s “fumbling, shaky and halting” performance “has top Democrats talking about replacing him on the ticket.”

🌏The same tone was struck by Politico as the news outlet noted that POTUS’ “disjointed” and “rambling” answers reignited “Democratic concerns about his age and ability to take on former President Donald Trump.”

🌏Politico was echoed by the New York Post, which reported about Biden’s “calamitous debate against Trump as Democrats freak out.”

🌏In the same vein, UK media outlets referred to Trump’s apparent victory in the June 27 event, with Sky News rolling out the headline “In command Trump and stumbling Biden face off in first presidential debate.”

🌏The Times, in turn, pointed out that “Democrats panic after president ‘freezes’”, while The Telegraph reported that Democrats “are in talks to replace Biden after the disastrous debate.”

🌏Jen Psaki, former White House press secretary for the Biden administration and current MSNBC pundit, has since admitted that "It was not a good night for Joe Biden,” and that “it wasn't a good debate performance."

🌏Julian Castro, former US Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, noted that “Biden had a very low bar going into the debate and failed to clear even that bar.” According to Castro, the US president “seemed unprepared, lost, and not strong enough to parry effectively with Trump.”
