We are defending our positions and inflicting significant losses on the enemy. This is a very cruel battle, very difficult. Perhaps one of the most difficult of this war.

According to him, Ukrainian grain is transported by road to Sevastopol, where it is registered as "Russian", allegedly brought from Krasnodar or Novorossiysk, after which it goes to Turkey. If these cargoes entered Turkish ports according to documents from Sevastopol or Kherson, they would not be accepted.

15:48 Lavrov was rude to a journalist in Turkey. At a press conference after the talks between the Russian and Turkish foreign ministers, one of the journalists asked: "Besides grain, what else did Russia try to sell from the stolen goods from Ukraine?"

Of course, we will hear words of support, words of solidarity, but so far I do not see any signs of powerful decisions that the alliance is preparing for Ukraine or even Black Sea security."
14:26 The reluctance of some EU countries to support the granting of candidate status to Ukraine is associated with a psychological barrier, Kuleba believes: “We will not accept any surrogate versions or alternatives instead of candidate status, whatever they may be. We need candidate status for EU membership. a candidate for a candidate, not a potential candidate or another surrogate, nothing else.We have been playing this game for a long time and we know how it works, we are simple, modest people who are satisfied with the usual, standard status of a candidate for membership in the European Union, we do not need to invent anything another."
According to him, candidate status for Ukraine is the last psychological barrier in skeptic countries that needs to be overcome: “I don’t see any rational arguments from skeptics about why Ukraine should not be granted candidate status. But I see a big psychological problem, they psychologically they cannot come to terms with this, that they will have to change their position."
14:20 The occupiers put pensioners and homeless people at the checkpoints near Melitopol, the mayor of the city Ivan Fedorov said. According to him, a mass movement of Russian troops has begun in Melitopol and other districts of the Zaporozhye region - everyone is being pulled to the Kherson direction. Therefore, residents of Melitopol are watching pensioners at checkpoints in the area: everyone who is younger is sent to fight.

14:15 Ukraine is grateful to partners for providing heavy weapons, but it is still extremely insufficient, Kuleba said: "Some people have the impression that everything is fine with weapons, but this is not so.

To date, fighting continues in the city, and all the weapons that the Russian army currently has are now flying there."
14:05 A spotter of rocket fire on Kiev was sentenced to eight years in prison. According to the SBU, he corrected Russian attacks on water supply and energy facilities, and was detained in May.
14:03 The occupiers are conducting a propaganda pseudo-poll in the Kherson region in preparation for the "referendum". So, citizens receive calls with a proposal to answer a number of manipulative questions that should affect their attitude towards Russia, the war, the occupation and Putin personally, reports the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
The "results" of the pseudo-survey can be given as an illustration of the loyalty of the local population to the occupiers. Most residents refuse to answer questions, and those who are pressured into agreeing cannot give a sincere answer due to safety concerns. Thus, even if holding a "referendum" is impossible, they may try to "attach" the region to the Russian Federation based on the results of a "social study", where the Ukrainians allegedly "expressed support" for the occupation regime.
