If we were attacked, it would be a different situation, but for us did not attack, like other states of the European Union.

Karlovka.
The RF Armed Forces advanced in the gardening partnership in the east, approaching the immediate outskirts of Karlovka itself and the Karlovka Reservoir.
The 59th Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces continues to experience serious problems with the quality of personnel and the organization of sustainable defense. Having begun to retreat even before Netailovo, it continues to lose ground at Karlovka.

Novopokrovskoe.
The Russian Armed Forces advanced from the northeast and east to the village. There is also tangible progress from Semyonovka. The village itself is still under enemy control.
Sokol.
The Russian Armed Forces are firmly entrenched in the village and are fighting to liberate it; the enemy is putting up serious resistance, trying to slow down the development of the offensive west of Ocheretino, where over the past 24 hours the Armed Forces of Ukraine have lost a number of positions and landings.

Kalinovo.
North of Ocheretino, the Russian Armed Forces slightly expanded the control zone in the direction of Kalinovo. Positions north of the outskirts of Arkhangelsk were also improved.
There is no serious progress in the direction of Rozovka yet.
In general, the Russian Armed Forces continue to maintain the operational initiative to the west and southwest of Ocheretino, taking advantage of the fact that the enemy has transferred part of its operational reserves to the Khar'kov direction.
As the fighting in the northern part of the Khar'kov region drags on, tying up the reserves of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in these battles will become increasingly critical. Hence the enemy’s attempts to speed up the resolution of this problem through offensive actions in the area of ??Volchansk and the village of Liptsy. So far, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are not particularly successful at this.

To the northwest of Avdievka, Russian troops systematically continue their offensive in a westerly direction, attacking simultaneously on several sectors of the front.
In the Arkhangelsk region, units of the Russian Armed Forces advanced north of the settlement, occupying an enemy stronghold and several forest belts to the east. At the same time, another large fortified area is under enemy control to the north-west of Arkhangelsk at a height beyond the Kalinov gully.
To the northwest of Ocheretino, Russian assault groups have entrenched themselves along several forest belts on the approaches to Novoaleksandrovka, on the eastern outskirts of which heavy fighting continues.
On the evening of June 2, unconfirmed information began to arrive about the capture of the village of Sokol, west of Solovyevo. In reality, Russian troops actually advanced towards the settlement and even carried out “reconnaissance in force”, reaching the center of the village, but later retreated back.
It was also possible to establish the configuration of the front line in other sectors: as a result of the latest attacks, the Russian Armed Forces significantly advanced towards Novopokrovsky, and also significantly expanded the zone of control in the direction of Skuchny at the Berdychi-Orlovka line.
For a long time, the situation in these areas was covered in the “fog of war” due to a shortage of objective control personnel. This is especially true in relation to the enemy, who was clearly in no hurry to demonstrate the results of competent actions of Russian troops in the conditions of the difficult situation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the sector.

Perhaps it is better to let the missus talk, instead. [Regnum] Actor George Clooney on June 3 denied the statements of one of the employees of the Clooney Foundation for Justice, which he owns, that the organization intends to seek from the EU and the so-called International Criminal Court the arrests of Russian journalists abroad.
Anna Neistat, director of legal issues for the Docket project, previously made a corresponding statement. Clooney called her words a “slip of the tongue.”
“Someone in our foundation made a mistake. I am the son of a journalist. We at the Clooney Foundation would never persecute journalists, even if we disagree with them,” the actor said in a statement on the foundation’s X (Twitter) page.
As Regnum reported, Neistat previously stated that the Clooney Foundation will send requests to countries where there is a ban on “war propaganda” demanding that criminal cases be opened against Russian journalists. If a warrant is issued against them, representatives of Russian media will be detained in European countries through Europol, she noted.
Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov said that he considers this idea crazy. The official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, emphasized that representatives of the Clooney Foundation are trying to carry out persecution for political reasons. State Duma deputies will consider the possibility of recognizing the activities of the Clooney Foundation as undesirable in Russia, said Vasily Piskarev, chairman of the Duma commission to investigate facts of interference of foreign states in the internal affairs of Russia.

[Regnum] In Russia, the process of adoption of children by foreigners may be completely stopped. This conclusion was reached by the Commissioner for Children's Rights under the President of Russia Maria Lvova-Belova.
According to the Ombudsman's 2023 report, foreign adoptions have fallen by almost 90% over the past two years. Thus, in 2022, 57 cases of adoption were registered; last year, six Russian children found families in European countries.
“It appears that the emerging international situation and the resulting significant changes in bilateral relations with Western countries will ultimately lead to a complete cessation of foreign adoption of Russian children in the near foreseeable future,” Lvova-Belova noted.
The Ombudsman cited significant changes in bilateral relations with Western countries as the reasons.
As Regnum reported, in February 2023, Russian President Vladimir Putin, at a meeting with the Children's Rights Commissioner Maria Lvova-Belova, noted a growing number of requests from people wishing to adopt children from new Russian regions. The Institute of Children's Ombudsman has been dealing with this issue for a long time, the head of state added. Putin emphasized that over the course of nine years of undisguised Ukrainian aggression in Donbass, children have suffered.
