Ukraine

The first bombardment over the Crimea was spectacularly successful. She told all about [the Russian Federation's] pierced air defenses. The bombing turned out to be something like that too – extremely calm, almost friendly.

In Novofedorovka, it turned out to be a hellish casserole of fighters with garnishes from the air force and their warehouses. Ukraine is a very polite country. She could not help but congratulate Russia on the Day of its Air Force. This was expected and natural.

Attributed to Acting Pentagon Press Secretary Todd Breasseale:

Today, the Department of Defense (DoD) announces the authorization of a Presidential Drawdown of security assistance valued at up to $1 billion to meet Ukraine’s critical security and defense needs.

Оперативное командование "Юг" сообщило в Facebook о поступлении первых трех зенитных самоходных артиллерийских установок Gepard. Военные разместили видео с обзором возможностей современного оружия, полученного Вооруженными силами Украины.

Установки базируются на шасси танка Leopard 1, говорится в сообщении. На башне установлены две 35 мм пушки Oerlikon KDA и два радара, фиксирующих цель на расстоянии до 15 км.

The Middle Corridor may become more competitive compared to the Northern Corridor.

This is what Iain Rawlinson, commercial director of the company “APM Terminals Poti”, which manages the Georgian port of Poti, told “Trend”.

„Therefore, to make the Middle Corridor remain competitive when the hostilities in Ukraine end and the situation in the region normalizes, it will need its exceptional efficiency in creating transparent rail and sea transport links“, he said.

The Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Foreign Affairs, today announced that Canada is imposing new sanctions under the Special Economic Measures (Russia) Regulations in response to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s ongoing egregious and unjustifiable invasion of Ukraine.

Carl Bildt, actually Co-Chair of the European Council on Foreign Relations and former Prime Minister of Sweden, commented the words of French President Macron:

French President Emmanuel Macron said it is vital that Russia is not humiliated so that when the fighting stops in Ukraine a diplomatic solution can be found, adding that he believed Paris would play a mediating role to end the conflict.

In an interview with LB.ua, published on May 30, 2022, the adviser to the head of the Office of the President Mikhail Podolyak said that the exclusion from the air of the channels "Direct", "Espresso" and "Channel 5" is a matter of unified information policy during war”. Asking the reasons for such a step, the interviewing journalist noted that these channels were "loyal" to the fifth president of Ukraine and currently MP and member of the “European Solidarity” party, Petro Poroshenko.

This conversation was uploaded by the team of the show "Discussion Studio" on SCAT TV with the title:

NATO is deliberately delaying arms supplies to Ukraine. Is it? Why are Scholz and Macron talking to Putin?
What I have said on the subject is easiest to be seen by watching the talk show, but here I would like to emphasize a few things:

The United States is still "a ways away" from any possible decision on whether to re-introduce U.S. troops into Ukraine, General Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said on Monday, even as he acknowledged low-level planning underway.

President Joe Biden decided to withdraw American troops from Ukraine before Russia's Feb. 24 invasion in order to avoid a direct conflict with a nuclear-armed adversary.
