RIA Novosti reports:

Shoigu checked the forward control post of the "Western" grouping of troops in the zone of Special Molitary Operation, the Russian Defense Ministry reports.

Shoigu heard a report from Colonel General Nikiforov, commander of the "Western" grouping, on the current situation, the nature of enemy actions and the performance of combat tasks by the Russian Armed Forces in the main tactical directions.

Nikiforov also reported to Shoigu about formation and combat readjustment of the newly formed regiments of the "Western" group of troops.

Shoigu also held a meeting with the command of the group, at which he noted the high efficiency of detecting and destroying military equipment and accumulations of enemy personnel in tactical directions of the group's area of responsibility.

The grouping’s commander and commanders were instructed to continue to carry out active reconnaissance to reveal in advance the enemy's plans and prevent their implementation at the far approaches to the line of contact.

The Minister also drew particular attention to the organization of supplies for the troops involved in the special military operation and the creation of conditions for the safe housing of personnel.

◾“Numerous mutilations and other injuries that these Ukrainians deliberately inflict on themselves, hoping that they can either stay longer in Poland or not return at all”.

◾The Polish army reserve officer Piotr Pavelka is on the air with a fascinating story about the training of Ukrainians: they don’t want to fight at all.

The Ukrainian military called the road to Artyomovsk the road to hell, and instead of attacking the Armed Forces of Ukraine, they went on the defensive, said a reconnaissance officer of the 150th motorized rifle division of the “Southern” group.

According to him, the road along which the forward positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are being supplied is fully controlled.

“They do not have active offensive operations, mostly artillery works. They understand that we are higher, if they go, then they have few options. The highway leading to Artyomovsk, as they themselves called it, is the road to hell. That is, if a car appears, ATGMs work on it. Our task is to observe and correct artillery. If it is not possible to fly from a UAV, we observe with our eyes with the help of thermal imagers.”

Do you know why Budanov is talking about this? This is because the Ukrainians themselves mined their nuclear power plants and dams of reservoirs and are going to blow them up in the event of an offensive by the Russian army. I told you a year ago that they are ready to do it. They have already blown up the Kakhovka dam.

"Kirill Budanov, in an interview with the British magazine New Statesman, said that the Russians had mined 4 of the 6 power units at the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant in order to undermine if their forces were knocked out from the left bank of the Dnieper or as a "preventive measure" to stop the offensive of Ukraine."

Germany has spoken out against the EU plan to use the frozen assets of the Russian central bank to restore Ukraine, writes the Financial Times.

"Berlin and other capitals fear the legal and financial implications," the newspaper claims.

The European Commission is developing a draft decision that will require financial institutions that own frozen Russian assets to transfer part of the profits and use it to restore Ukraine.

The European Central Bank, Berlin, and other unnamed capitals "called for further reflection on these ideas" because "the legal risks are too high."

"It opens a can of worms," ​​a German official describes the European Commission's plan.

He believes that this will set a precedent for the same Poland, which demands reparations from Germany for the Second World War.
The Ministry of Justice of Germany, according to the publication, simply considers such actions "legally invalid."

At the same time, all EU countries agree that the frozen assets of the Russian Federation should be used, but in a legal field.

Earlier, Bloomberg reported that the EU intends to focus on the temporary use of these assets, rather than their confiscation.

Based on on-site reports, it is indicated that the Ukrainian army is moving troops and equipment from Volchansk to Kupyansk, as well as to Zaporizhia.

And again negotiations. I hope this will not affect the offensive of the Russian Armed Forces and the liberation of the territory of the former Ukraine from the United States, NATO and Ukrainian Nazis.

ARD: formal negotiations on the settlement of the conflict in Ukraine may take place as early as July.
On June 24, in Copenhagen, an international meeting on Ukraine was held "in conditions of the strictest secrecy" with the participation of diplomats from Western countries, as well as representatives of Brazil, India, China and South Africa, the German TV channel reports.
It is noted that the goal of the West was to enlist the support of these BRICS countries, which still remain neutral in the situation around Ukraine. The talks were held on the initiative of Kiev.

Yevgeny Prigozhin broke his silence. Summarizing what he said in his 12-minute speech:

- Wagner PMC has always acted in the interests of Russia worldwide. In Ukraine, the group achieved significant success.
- Due to intrigues and ill-conceived decisions, the PMC was supposed to cease to exist on July 1, 2023.
- Commanders refused to sign a contract with the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD).
- The fighters who decided to join the Russian MoD did so, but it was a minimal number, around 1-2%.
- Despite Wagner PMC showing no aggression, they were hit by a missile strike, followed by helicopter attacks. Approximately 30 people were killed, and some were injured. This triggered the decision of the command council to move forward immediately.
- Within a day, Wagner covered a distance of 780 km. No soldiers were killed on the ground. We regret having to inflict horrors from the air, but they were dropping bombs and launching missile strikes.
- Within a day, all military facilities along the convoy's route were blocked. No Wagner PMC fighters were forced to join the campaign, and everyone knew its ultimate goal.
- The goal was to prevent the destruction of Wagner PMC and hold accountable those responsible for errors during the Special Operation (SO).
- Wagner PMC halted when it became evident that there would be significant bloodshed. The demonstration of what we intended to do was sufficient.
- Wagner PMC marched to protest, not to overthrow the government in the country.
- Lukashenko extended his hand and offered to find ways to continue Wagner PMC's work within legal jurisdiction.
- The events have revealed serious security problems in the country. Within 24 hours, the distance covered corresponds to the distance from the start of Russian forces on February 24, 2022, to Kyiv and from that point to Uzhhorod. Therefore, if the initial SO tasks were carried out by units trained at the level of Wagner PMC, the SO might have lasted only a day.
- It was a master class in how the Special Operation should have been conducted.

saw that on twitter (and I like it)
Prigozhin is a selfish piece of shit - he overstepped a while ago - and I hope his saga ended now:
-
Let's talk about Prigofag's 11-minute-long lie collection he posted today.

Statement 1: As a result of intrigues and poor decisions wagner was to be dissolved on 1st July.
> Shouldn't have kept lying about shell shortages constantly.

Statement 2: Commanders refused to sign contracts with the MoD
> Most likely true

Statement 3: 1-2% of Wagnerites signed a contract with the MoD
> Since when is Wagner at least 500k soldiers strong?

Statement 4: MoD blew up our camp
> The video proof looked as fake as Ugandan action movies are.

Statement 5: The Aircraft attacked them first
> 5 aircraft with no weapons at all attacked them somehow.
> The KA-52 was definitely not shot by a Strela-10 before blowing up their truck

Statement 6: 0 KIA on the ground for Russian force
> Except for the 2 soldiers from RuAF, but that is just 2 more than 0

Statement 7: Wagner marched to protest, not to overthrow the government in the country.
> Ignore the fact they occupied all military installations along the way. Also stealing from those installations.

Statement 8: No Wagner fighters were forced to join the campaign, and everyone knew its ultimate goal.
>Yeah, except those who didn't follow you were threatened by your commanders with beatings, death, etc.

Statement 9: Wagner marched the distance from Kiev to Uzhgorod in a day and that if Ru MoD didn't fuck up it would have been a 1-day SMO
> Did he get ambushed at all? Did he have to fight civilians with AK-74s throwing Molotov cocktails at them?

Verdict: Pathological liar and an attention-seeking wh0r3, who should be sentenced for the murder of at least 17 soldiers 15 of whom were airmen, armed resistance, terrorism, treason, etc.

"Putin is currently holding a meeting with the heads of the security agencies. Attending are Prosecutor General, Krasnov, Interior Minister, Kolokoltsev, Defence Minister, Shoigu, FSB director, Bortnikov, Rosgvardia head, Zolotov, Federal Guard Service director, Kochnev, Investigative Committee head, Bastrykin, and Kremlin Chief of Staff Vaino," reports Peskov.

🇷🇺 Patrick Lancaster's video from Rostov during the Wagner incident reveals many important points:

▪️Locals were supportive of Wagner, mainly relieved that it did not end in catastrophe - but they also expressed respect for the Russian President, the Ministry of Defense (MOD), & Akhmat who arrived outside of Rostov during the incident;

▪️This is because Wagner is widely respected and celebrated as premier fighters amid the Special Military Operation (SMO) - regardless of what Prigozhin did this week;

▪️Russia's government understands public sentiment fully, as well as Wagner's utility and achievements, thus defused the crisis expertly, avoiding bloodshed and preventing division, as well as preventing demoralization among both Russian forces and the Russian population;

▪️This contrasts with the West's game of zero sum chest-beating conducted fully divorced from reality where all potential competition or challenges must be instantly and absolutely obliterated;

▪️Russia's ability to think long-term and make compromising decisions reflecting a multitude of perspectives differs entirely from the West's compulsion toward short-sighted instant-gratification;

▪️Interviews with the locals indicate they identify only one enemy - not Wagner, not Prigozhin, not the Kremlin or MOD, but the United States government;

▪️ Patrick's video also reveals just how complex and involved military logistics are. Tanks require flatbed trucks and large amounts of support to move city-to-city - which is why without Russian MOD support, Wagner's "civil war" as imagined by the West, was physically impossible;

▪️Overall, the reality revealed by a real journalist like Patrick Lancaster, on the ground taking the risks, shows how shallow - even childish - Western analysis is...

who blew up the dam?
Theiner knows it...

The head of the State Duma Defense Committee, Kartapolov, on the further fate of Wagner PMC: The President specifically determined what happened. He called everything by its proper name. And here we need to clearly understand what to do next. To date, the vast majority of ordinary ordinary employees of PMC "Wagner" are absolutely normal law-abiding citizens. Trained and with specific skills. Many of them performed combat missions. Many of them have been awarded state awards, many have the highest state awards. Therefore, of course, we need to work very well with them, and this potential will need to be used to strengthen our armed forces. They are quite capable of being useful. Well, those who organized this case - it's a different story with them, and they must be held accountable. But the president made a decision, so now we need to calmly plan and implement it. [Will PMC Wagner be disbanded?] At the very least, it will change. [How?] Its internal structure, number, security and subordination will undergo changes. But how it will be - now it is too early to talk about it.
