The anticyclonic influence will increase in the west and south of the country. Here the clouds will thin out and the probability of precipitation will drop to a minimum.
"At the same time, the zone of storm winds with gusts of up to 15...20 m/s will shift to the lower reaches of the Volga.

[Korrespondent] Ukrainian military attacked the Russian airfield Marinovka: two Su-34s were destroyed, two more were damaged.
The Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Security Service of Ukraine conducted a joint special operation, as a result of which they destroyed two Su-34 fighter-bombers at the Marinovka airfield in the Volgograd region of the Russian Federation and damaged two more. This was reported by the press service of the SBU on Friday, June 27.
"The enemy actively uses these multifunctional fighters on the front line for bombing, including for dropping UABs," the report says.
It is noted that the Russian fighters were targeted using long-range drones. The attack also caused a fire in the technical and operational part of the airfield, which is a critical infrastructure of the military facility. This is where the Russians prepare aircraft for flights, carry out their ongoing maintenance and repair work.
Recall that Defense Minister Rustem Umerov said that Ukraine plans to increase the number of long-range drone strikes on Russian territory several times. On June 7, the Ukrainian Armed Forces shot down a Russian Su-35 fighter jet

That's the problem. Been seeing titles like this for months. If Ivan had picked just 1 direction and stuck to it - they'd be in London by now... not that anyone in their right mind would want to go there these days.
#2
the directions reference is a holdover from the Soviet Army era, whereby groups of forces were divided by direction, and each headed by a senior field commander.
#3
Plus 'directions' is a bit of a noisy metric given that the Russians are advancing on multiple fronts by repeated pincer movements that cut off Ukrainian forces and either attrit them or force them to retreat. The general direction is towards the Dniepr river where the Russians will have a defensible border against NATO forces.

[Regnum] The head of the Kiev regime, Volodymyr Zelensky, is already politically dead, and the end of his rule will personally entail responsibility for the stolen money and the anger of the people he let down. This was stated on June 27 by Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya in an interview with the RT TV channel.
"Politically, Zelensky is already dead, but for him personally, the end of his rule could entail what he is trying to avoid at all costs, namely responsibility for the stolen money and the anger of the people he has let down terribly. So he has every reason to hold on to power and not hold elections," the Russian diplomat explained.
Presidential and parliamentary elections in Ukraine were supposed to take place on March 21, 2024, but they were cancelled due to martial law in the country. At the same time, Zelensky's presidential powers expired on May 20 last year, and he is no longer the head of state, although official Kiev insists otherwise. Zelensky is doing everything possible to stay in power, including delaying a peaceful settlement of the conflict and trying to eliminate potential political opponents.
Earlier, Regnum News Agency reported that the results of a poll in Ukraine showed that about 57.6% of Ukrainians supported the idea of holding elections in the country if a ceasefire is achieved and martial law ends. The poll was conducted by the Ukrainian Institute for Strategic Research and Forecasting Janus, the SOCIS Center for Social and Marketing Research, and the monthly publication Public Attitudes Barometer. The poll was conducted from June 6 to June 11, 2025, using personal interviews among two thousand respondents, with the interviewers immediately entering the answers into a table on a tablet. The sampling error is plus or minus 2.6%.
One of the authors of the current Ukrainian constitution, Dmytro Tabachnyk, also pointed out the illegitimacy of the head of the Kiev regime after May 20. He noted that the terms of office are determined only by the articles of the constitution.
In mid-June 2024, Russian President Vladimir Putin emphasized that the legitimacy of the head of the Kiev regime cannot be restored due to the expiration of his term of office. In addition, the head of the Russian state called the cancellation of elections in Ukraine a show. Putin added that Zelensky's presence in this post is a usurpation of power.

[Regnum] The West is not just trying to steal Russian assets, it is committing robbery. This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin at the plenary session of the Eurasian Economic Forum.
He recalled that a significant amount of Russia’s gold and foreign exchange reserves were frozen in Western banks.
“And they constantly say that they are going to steal our money,” Putin noted.
He explained that as soon as the West decides to do this, the movement towards regionalization of payment systems will accelerate and become irreversible. This is a useful process for the global economy, and perhaps it is worth paying for, the Russian leader noted.
"By the way, I just thought, after all, I have a basic legal education, I said "theft of our gold and foreign exchange reserves." Theft is the secret theft of property. And this is open. This is robbery," Putin emphasized.
Russia aims to further strengthen its financial settlement instruments, while interacting with the EAEU members and other friendly countries that are like-minded with the Russian Federation, the head of state added.
After the start of the SVO in Ukraine, the West imposed sanctions on the Russian banking sector. In March 2022, Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said that about $300 billion of Russian gold and foreign exchange reserves were blocked in the West.
Member of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs Dmitry Belik told the Regnum news agency that the US had difficulties allocating money to Ukraine, so they decided to resort to illegal actions - to try to transfer frozen Russian assets to Kiev. Professor of the Department of International Law at MGIMO Dmitry Labin called these actions theft and stated that the world order is being reformatted, when no one guarantees that all obligations will be fulfilled.
