[Korrespondent] 23:15 Russian invaders are spreading fakes about an attack on Slovyansk, but the Armed Forces of Ukraine are holding the lines, said the head of the Donetsk OVA Pavel Kirilenko on the air of the telethon: "Our Armed Forces of Ukraine courageously hold the defense along all lines. The enemy has not advanced. Of course, their goal is Slavyansk and Kramatorsk, but before Slavyansk they need to pass those lines that are equipped, and where we are preparing to meet them.
23:13 Secretary General of the Council of Europe Maria Pejcinovic-Burich strongly condemned the death sentences to three foreign citizens who participated in hostilities as part of the Ukrainian army: "The death penalty is incompatible with human dignity and constitutes inhuman and degrading treatment. It has no place on the European continent" .
23:09 Bloomberg writes that the Netherlands and Denmark oppose granting Ukraine the status of an EU candidate. Earlier today, Stefanchuk, after meeting with Dutch Foreign Minister Wopke Gukstroy, said that the Netherlands would support granting Ukraine candidate status. And Deputy Prime Minister Stefanyshina said that three European countries refuse to support the granting of this status to Ukraine.
22:45 Severodonetsk, in case of surrender, will be very difficult for the enemy to liberate, the mayor of the city Alexander Stryuk said on the air of the telethon: "Severodonetsk and Lisichansk are two satellite cities. Lysichansk is located on a mountain, Severodonetsk is on a plateau under the mountain. It is clear that they may ", and do not represent strategic value in military terms - this is more a question for the military command. But then it will be very difficult to liberate Severodonetsk. Therefore, I want to believe that our military will defend it and will not allow it to be completely occupied."
22:28 The daily losses of Ukrainian troops in the war with Russia range from 100 to 200 people, Podolyak said, the BBC Ukrainian service reports. One of the main reasons for the heavy losses, the adviser to the head of the Presidential Office called the lack of parity between Ukrainian and Russian military capabilities. According to him, Ukraine needs hundreds, not "handfuls" of the most powerful artillery systems that the West can provide. For parity with the firepower of the enemy and the de-occupation of the territory of Ukraine, according to Podolyak, up to 300 missile systems are needed.
22:07 Germany will provide Ukraine with up to 26 million euros to support the energy system, Ambassador Anka Feldhusen said.
22:04 For the Odessa and Nikolaev regions, the threat of missile strikes from the Black Sea has increased, warned the speaker of the Odessa OVA Sergey Bratchuk.

In addition, Russian troops may try to penetrate into the Odessa region with the help of DRGs on small boats across the Danube.
21:58 In Kharkov, due to Russian aggression, 150 thousand people were left without housing, Mayor Igor Terekhov said.

According to him, some units of the Russian Federation withdrew in the Kherson direction, but representatives of the "DPR" entered certain territories.
21:37 Russia has begun systematically shelling car repair plants in Ukraine, the head of Ukrzaliznytsia Alexander Kamyshin said on the air of the telethon. According to him, the day after the attack on the Kyiv DVRZ on June 5, the Russians hit another car repair plant.
"They systematically hit our railway infrastructure every day," Kamyshin said. According to him, now this is one of the main strategies of the enemy - the Russians want to make Ukraine immobile.
21:04 The head of the Bundestag Committee on Human Rights and Humanitarian Aid Renata Alt said that the condemnation to death of two Britons and one Moroccan who fought for Ukraine, the self-proclaimed "DPR" - "this is a scandal and another gross violation of international military law." She confirmed that the men officially served in the Ukrainian army, therefore they are combatants and, accordingly, are protected by law.
"The whole procedure is a farce, because in the breakaway region there can be no question of an independent judiciary," Alt emphasized, adding that today's "verdict" can be interpreted "as an attempt to blackmail Russia and its henchmen against Britain and Morocco."
20:46 Fierce fighting continues in Severodonetsk, said the head of the Luhansk OVA Serhiy Gaidai. According to him, "the Buryats retreated because they are much weaker than our defenders." Also, the Russians are powerfully shelling Lisichansk from a large caliber that breaks through concrete, so it is extremely dangerous for the townspeople to be in the city, even in shelters. There are no fights in the city itself and around it. At the same time, fighting is going on in the settlements of the Gorskaya and Popasnyanskaya communities.
Gaidai noted that due to the heat, the water level in the Seversky Donets River fell, which means that the Russians will again try to abandon the crossings. “We are following, in which case we will act proactively,” he assured and added that the losses of the Russian Federation significantly exceed those of Ukraine.

20:19 The Kremlin is waiting for the moment when Ukraine's allies get tired of the war and stop supporting the Ukrainian Armed Forces so actively, said British Ambassador to Ukraine Melinda Simmons. She noted that a certain weariness from the war has already begun to be observed, especially in the Western media. According to Simmons, the most difficult period for Ukraine in 2022 will be the period from late autumn to the end of winter, because it is at this time that Russia will begin to blackmail the West with gas exports.
20:13 Russian oligarch of Ukrainian origin Mikhail Fridman is consulting with the Ukrainian authorities on how to obtain Ukrainian citizenship and re-register the main assets, said Alexander Novikov, head of the National Agency for the Prevention of Corruption.

20:08 Podolyak said that Kherson and Zaporizhia will remain Ukraine, and "we will firmly liberate our territories, no matter what names the z-occupiers come up with."

19:28 British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss commented on today's "sentences" to British citizens in the "DPR": "I categorically condemn the sentencing of Aiden Eslin and Sean Pinner, who were detained by Russian puppets in eastern Ukraine.

19:15 Three European countries refuse to support granting Ukraine candidate status for EU membership, Deputy Prime Minister Stefanyshina said: "In general, about seven EU countries are not Eastern European or Baltic countries, as you can imagine, - they made proposals about what "something different format, offering extra-candidacy or conditional candidacy. There were a lot of different proposals, but in fact there are three main countries that today do not want to give the green light to Ukraine."

18:33 Podolyak reacted to the attempts to annex the regions of Ukraine: "Any talk about the possibility of easing sanctions against Russia against the backdrop of the preparation of the annexation of the south and east of Ukraine is categorically unacceptable. Any attempt to "legalize" the occupied territories must receive a tough sanctions response. The Kremlin must understand the price of each next step."

17:33 Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis called Russia's intention to cancel the recognition of Lithuanian independence "barbaric": "Only a country ruled by beasts could start such a war as Russia started.

According to intelligence data, the corpses of Russian soldiers who died during the fighting in the direction of Pologi-Gulyaipole are being actively brought to Melitopol.
The long-term storage of the bodies of the dead is connected with the intentions of the Russian leadership to hide the real extent of the losses from the Russian electorate - therefore, the "dosed" sending of the bodies to the Russian Federation and the maximum stretching of the process in time are practiced.
15:36 The Russian occupiers are actively preparing the visit of IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi to the Zaporozhye NPP, Energoatom says: "What can the visit of the Director General or his representatives bring to Zaporozhye NPP?

Energoatom emphasized that no one from Ukraine invited the IAEA to ZNPP: “To come to ZNPP through Russia and then Crimea or other temporarily occupied Ukrainian territories under the protection of the Russian military without the will of Ukraine?!
