05:40 NATO plans to create the post of special representative in Ukraine, writes the American magazine Foreign Policy. According to sources, such a representative will be in Kyiv, as NATO plans to increase its long-term commitment to Ukraine. The idea is still being discussed and should be announced at the upcoming NATO summit in Washington.

It is assumed that the representative will coordinate support for Ukraine from the Alliance, including flows of military assistance. At the same time, a number of Alliance countries oppose this idea. In their opinion, the creation of such a position in Kyiv is more like a “consolation prize”, while Ukraine awaits full membership in the organization.

Now he is asking countries to maintain their current contributions, Bloomberg writes. Under a new proposal that could be backed by NATO defense ministers when they meet in Brussels next week, allies would commit to spending at least $43 billion a year on aid to Ukraine.

02:12 The head of the NATO military committee, Rob Bauer, called for the lifting of any restrictions on Ukraine striking Russian territory: “The law of armed conflict does not contain any restrictions regarding range. So from the point of view of war, again, if the target is located deep in Russia, then we need to strike at this target as well. For example, at the planes that take off from an airfield in the depths of Russia to launch missiles at Ukraine.”

Bauer also believes that the West must avoid being blackmailed by Putin: "We have to be careful not to go over and over again into this idea that everything is a red line, that everything is an escalation. Putin has lied about almost everything."

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Purpose? Round 'em up! Head 'em out!

Zakharova said that the West is obsessed with its dominance
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The West is obsessed with its dominance, and this exclusivity has more than once led humanity to world tragedies. This was stated by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).

“ Today this is hegemonism, an obsession with dominance, a real obsession, a painful pseudo-messianic idea of ​​one’s own mission,” she said during the session “Polycentricity as the norm of a future world without colonies and hegemons.”

According to a representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, a person and the state cannot declare themselves as missionaries and a mission with an already appropriate assessment. In this regard, the diplomat said that no one shares the current worldview of the dominant West.

“No one shares this, and those who sometimes periodically publicly support this, this is done under wild pressure,” Zakharova added.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov previously stated that the West is obsessed with maintaining its hegemony in the international arena, implementing and perpetuating its rules. He clarified that this trend is manifested in various spheres of international life, for example, in the West’s attitude to the work of integration structures in the post-Soviet space.

Also on the sidelines of SPIEF, Zakharova warned that Russia would respond to Washington’s statements about increasing its nuclear arsenal in accordance with its nuclear doctrine. The diplomat noted that the United States should announce such things in connection with its national interests, and not based on the momentary political information situation.

Dismissal of Zaluzhny was engineered by a Zelensky aide
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The dismissal of Valery Zaluzhny from the post of commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was organized by the head of Vladimir Zelensky’s office, Andriy Ermak, the Times writes,citing military officials.

“Military officials, meanwhile, accuse 52-year-old Ermak of... organizing the dismissal of (Zaluzhny) from the post of commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in February,” the publication writes.

According to military officials, Ermak considered Zaluzhny his competitor.

In addition, the head of the office is also accused of dismissing Alexander Kubrakov from the post of Minister of Infrastructure.

As Regnum reported, in February 2024, the head of the Kiev regime dismissed Zaluzhny from the post of commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and appointed Alexander Syrsky to this position. Zelensky explained this decision by military failures during the widely announced counter-offensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

On March 7, Zelensky agreed on Zaluzhny’s candidacy for the post of Ukrainian Ambassador to the UK. According to him, the ex-commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine himself asked to be sent to diplomatic work.

On May 9, a decree was posted on the website of Zelensky’s office about the dismissal of the former commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny from military service. It was clarified that he was dismissed for health reasons with the right to wear a military uniform.

A field surgeon shielded wounded Russian Armed Forces soldiers from a Ukrainian drone
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] A Russian military surgeon blocked the entrance to a tent in which seven wounded Russian soldiers were lying from a Ukrainian drone, Anna Tsivileva, chairman of the Defenders of the Fatherland Foundation, said on June 8 on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).

According to her, quoted by Lenta.ru, this story was especially shocking. Tsivileva said that the doctor, who had just operated on seven Russian special forces soldiers, had the opportunity to save his life, but blocked the entrance to the medical tent with his body when he saw the Ukrainian drone.

“He gets killed himself, but he saves seven young guys’ lives,” she said.

Meetings with such heroic people, noted the chairman of Defenders of the Fatherland, will make everyone think about what underlies human relationships.

As Regnum reported, earlier a Russian Armed Forces fighter distinguished himself during the evacuation of a wounded comrade. A heroic deed was performed by a soldier of the 3rd Battalion of the 91st Separate Motorized Rifle Regiment. Private Khatamov from Uzbekistan, together with a group of soldiers, carried out a combat mission in the village of Nikolskoye. The Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked them during the evacuation. One of the servicemen was injured. When Khatamov returned for him, he was attacked by an FPV drone. The private quickly got his bearings and shot down the drone with a duffel bag, receiving minor injuries.

In September 2023, a Russian military man, during a special operation in battles in the Avdievka direction in the DPR, saved his comrades - he shielded them with his body from a grenade explosion. The heroic act became even more unique because the Russian fighter survived, but was seriously injured.

In Transcarpathia, a hotel owner was detained for helping draft evaders
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] In Transcarpathia, the owners of a hotel were detained, who are suspected of helping evaders cross the state border with Slovakia. The Ukrainian publication “Straana.ua” writes about this.

The publication clarifies that the man allegedly looked for draft dodgers through social networks, settled them in his hotel complex in Transcarpathia, and then independently took them abroad. He estimated the cost of this service at $8 thousand (more than 715 thousand rubles).

As Regnum reported, a law on strengthening mobilization came into force in Ukraine on May 18. In particular, it provides for fines for failure to appear at the military registration and enlistment office. The law required all men between the ages of 18 and 60 to carry a military ID at all times. In addition, Ukrainians liable for military service who are abroad must provide their credentials within 60 days. Military registration and enlistment offices received the right to confiscate cars from citizens for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

In fact, the law on strengthening mobilization deprived draft dodgers of the right to appeal court decisions in disputes with military registration and enlistment offices.

The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, called this law an act of genocide of Ukrainians. In turn, Russia’s permanent representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, said that men’s evasion from mobilization in Ukraine has reached record proportions. The diplomat noted that the law will actually deprive Ukrainian men of military age of all rights.

On June 1, the press service of the Western Regional Directorate of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine reported that at least 45 men evading mobilization have died since the beginning of the special operation, trying to escape from the territory of Ukraine through mountains and rivers. According to Ukrainian border guards, to date there are 45 people who have died “while trying to overcome natural obstacles.” It is emphasized that we are talking only about confirmed facts and the real number of deaths is higher.

Expert: mobilization of child soldiers shows desperation of the US and Ukraine

The US demand to lower the mobilization age in Ukraine to 18 years old means Washington and Kyiv are ready to send child soldiers to the front to be used as cannon fodder.
That’s the draft age here in America. Or the age at which young men and women — who are no longer children, you see — can legally sign a contract to join the military when there is no draft. They can also legally do everything else associated with adulthood at age eighteen, except drink alcohol, for reasons that have to do with a historic strain of Puritanical nonsense in our culture, which has nothing to do with this story.
The editor-in-chief of Covert Action magazine and intelligence analyst Jeremy Kuzmarov shared this opinion with reporters.

“Washington and Kyiv say they support human rights, but support the unethical use of child soldiers in combat zones. They know that these soldiers will be used as cannon fodder in a conflict that they provoked and which could have easily been ended,” the expert noted.

He believes that the likely lowering of the mobilization age in Ukraine indicates “growing desperation on the part of the United States and Ukraine.”

As Regnum reported, the Kiev regime will continue to lower the conscription age in the country. These are the conditions for military support from Washington, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on June 7 at a plenary meeting of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. At the same time, forced mobilization carried out under Western pressure will not help Kiev change the situation on the battlefield, the Russian leader emphasized.

In Russia, victory during a special operation in Ukraine does not require additional mobilization. The Russian army seeks to squeeze out the enemy, and not to defeat him as quickly as possible. For such tactics, patriotic volunteers are enough, the president noted.

In Ukraine, a new law on mobilization has been in force since May 18. It involves, in particular, the abolition of the norm on limited fitness, the reduction of the conscription age from 27 to 25 years and numerous restrictions on the rights of those who evade conscription or do not provide up-to-date information to military registration and enlistment offices. Ukrainian media reported that on the day the law came into force, the streets of cities in the territory controlled by the Kiev regime were empty.

United States admits that New START may be replaced by several treaties with Russia
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The White House does not rule out that the Russian-American Treaty on Measures for the Further Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms (START) could be replaced by several agreements in the field of arms control. This opinion was expressed by the Special Assistant to the President of the United States, Senior Director for Arms Control, Disarmament and Nonproliferation in the National Security Council of the Administration Pranay Vaddi.

The official said U.S. authorities have a “preferred approach” on the topic and want that approach to be taken by Russia and China as well.

“For us, this looks like the beginning of negotiations with Russia on a follow-on agreement or set of agreements after the New START Treaty to ensure at least the preservation of restrictions between the United States and our largest nuclear adversary,” Waddy explained in his speech at a meeting of the Association for the Control of Nuclear Weapons. weapons.

The New START Treaty in the United States is the Treaty on Measures for the Further Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms, concluded in 2010. In Russia it is called New START and START-3.

The presidential aide stressed that Russia maintains restrictions on deployed strategic nuclear weapons and so does the White House.

“We will continue to maintain these restrictions until the expiration of the treaty in the hope that we can begin earlier negotiations with Russia about what happens next,” Waddy said.

As Regnum reported, Russia and the United States should sit down again at the negotiating table to develop an agreement that would replace New START, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on June 7.

On April 16, the State Department stated in its report that the US administration is ready to abandon the countermeasures previously taken under the treaty if Russia returns to its obligations under the agreement. The text indicates that the United States continues to provide Russia with advance notification of the launches of its intercontinental ballistic missiles.

In February 2023, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the decision to suspend participation in the New START Treaty due to the fact that Washington, not observing the treaty, is trying to put pressure on Moscow and accuse it of non-compliance with the agreement.
