"Germany handed over two more MAN HX81 tank tractors and trailers, 6 patrol cars, a thousand 155-mm artillery rounds and an unspecified number of Vulcano shells (which can be targeted by GPS) to Ukraine."


"Yesterday, Slovakia recognized the Holodomor as a genocide of the Ukrainian people. Thirty-two countries worldwide and the European Parliament have already recognized the Holodomor.

In the new version of the infographic, UA War Infographics decided to arrange the countries in chronological order of recognition of the Holodomor as genocide."

1️⃣ "Satellite images show that the water level around Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant and Nikopol continues to remain low after the destruction of Kakhovka dam.

This is potentially dangerous for the nuclear plant. Terrorist state continues posing a threat to humanity."

2️⃣ What the Kakhovka reservoir looks like as of 20 June.

1️⃣ "9,083 civilians were killed and 15,779 more civilians were wounded in varying degrees of severity since the start of the full-scaleinvasion - a report by the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).

The highest number of civilian casualties as of 18 June 2023, as the authors of the report specify, was recorded in Donetsk and Luhansk regions. On the territory of these regions under Ukrainian control, 4,105 people were killed and 5,861 were injured. In the regions occupied by Russian troops, 718 civilians were killed and another 2,521 injured.

These are just the official and verified by the UN numbers. The real amount of Russian victims is much, much higher.

This video explains why the verified numbers are lower than the real ones. "

2️⃣ "Dmitry Muratov, Nobel Peace Prize winner who auctioned off his prize and donated the money to Ukrainian refugees, spoke at Global Media Forum.

He shared his vision about the current situation in Russia."

Putin's speech wasn't very confidence inspiring... he didn't sound sure of what he was saying.
Muratov's was right on.

Don't you think it's strange how the Russian response to this counteroffensive had been exactly the same as in previous successful Ukr counteroffensives? Almost makes one think Putin's "numbers" are made up.

"Dear Belarusians!

Today we want to share important information with you. At the initiative of the Department of National Security under the leadership of Valery Sakhashchik, officers of the Armed Forces and special forces, patriots of a free, democratic Belarus, a new formation was created - the 1st separate airborne assault company, which is part of the airborne assault troops of Ukraine . For the second month now, our unit has been performing combat missions on one of the most difficult sectors of the front in the south-east of Ukraine and is gaining the combat experience necessary to create a new, high-tech and highly effective Belarusian army.

We would also like to address the Belarusian security forces. We have always been one people, and we remain so. The criminal gang, which has illegally seized and is holding power in the Republic of Belarus, is trying to split us and incite us against each other. But we have nothing to share. We, warriors, took an oath to ensure the safety of our people, to protect them from enemies who shed blood on Belarusians and deprive them of their freedom. Let's remember our oath and fulfill our military duty!

And, finally, we appeal to the servicemen of the Russian Federation who are now on the territory of the Republic of Belarus. Nobody called you to our Motherland. Any agreements with the already illegal Belarusian authorities are not even worth the paper on which they are written. You are the same occupiers as your compatriots present in Ukraine. Soon we will invite you to leave the territory of the Republic of Belarus and return to Russia, and when that moment comes, it will be in your interest to do so voluntarily.

Live Belarus! Glory to Ukraine!"

Perhaps there will be a repeat of RDK/FRL like activities in Belarus?




"In the occupied Tokmak, a strong arrival of GMLRS missiles at the location of the 19th Motorized Rifle Division of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation."

RE: MIG-29 underside - one centerline fuel tank, four known missile rails, and from the looks of it, those two inboard stations are not missile rails but ejector racks. Those canard/wing looking protrusions I believe are bomb rack sway braces, meant to keep ATG weapons from swinging wildly in the breeze. What the protuberances are on the front of those stations are a mystery. Yes, I am kind of an expert.
