RUSSIA-UKRAINE WAR UPDATES

Ukrainian offensive operations continue on multiple fronts simultaneously. Ukraine is united by a single objective: complete restoration of its territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders. 

Ukrainian forces are moving gradually forward in the east and south, forcing the enemy to retreat. Ukrainian forces managed to advance on the territory which had been under occupation for more than 9 years.

RUSSIAN CRIMES IN THE SOUTH OF UKRAINE

Russian invaders secretly bury the victims of the flooding in mass graves (more than 60), caused by the terrorist attack on the Kakhovka hydro power station. Russian invaders killed dozens of people who could not escape from the flooding of settlements.

The occupiers deliberately obstructed the attempts of volunteers to save the residents of the flooded settlements of the left bank. 

Russian troops shelled the right-bank Kherson Oblast during search and rescue operations there by the Ukrainian authorities and volunteers. 

WAGNER RAID ON MOSCOW

On June 24, the armed formations of the Wagner private military company (PMC) resorted to an attempt at a military coup. 

The war unleashed by the Kremlin against Ukraine is returning to Russia. The mutiny of Prigozhin (Wagner mercenary leader) is a rehearsal for a future time of troubles in Russia. Prigozhin’s march on Moscow testified that Russians were unwilling to defend Putin’s regime. 

The world has seen that the masters of the Kremlin are incapable of maintaining internal stability. In the midst of the crisis, the Russian elite began to flee Moscow. 

EXTRAORDINARY ADDRESS OF PUTIN 

After the Kremlin announced a “sensational address that will change the fate of Russia,” Putin was making excuses for the shame with the mutiny of the Wagner PMC.

It was clear that the Kremlin was still confused and changing the scenarios of its reaction on the spot. 

Putin in his address directly contradicted his aggressive speech on June 24, in which he promised to destroy and punish all traitors. 

Attempts to present the outcome of the Wagner rebellion as the Kremlin’s “success story” are unconvincing even for the domestic Russian public. Putin has publicly shown his weakness, fear, and confusion.
