▶️ On the Belarusian, Siverskyi and Bilhorod directions — no changes.

▶️ On the Svatove direction — the enemy continues to pressure Novoselivske, and not only on the village itself, but also from the north and south. Katsaps are heavily shelling the area of Stelmakhivka. Near Novoyehorivka, the enemy tries to introduce additional forces to develop offensive actions. The enemy was finally stopped and even pushed back in some forest belts.

🇱🇹🇩🇪Lithuania plans to buy Leopard 2 tanks from Germany for a total of 2 billion euros

🗣"This week we will sign a letter of intent with German manufacturers," said the country's Minister of Defense Arvydas Anušauskas to journalists after a meeting of the State Defense Council.

💭"This will be one of the largest purchases in Lithuania - not only for the army but for Lithuania as a whole. We are talking about 2 billion euros, including not only the cost of the tanks but also ammunition, logistics, supplies. This is a large purchase," said presidential advisor Kęstutis Budrys.

👤 In particular, during the council meeting, it was proposed to create another military training area, which, according to Budrys, will be used "for maneuvers, not for shooting." Such a decision will allow expanding Lithuania's own armed forces, as the existing resources will be used by the German brigade, U.S. troops, and NATO's rapid response group.

🇷🇺 Katsap media report the loss of Klishchiivka - this is not true

⏱ As of today, the enemy continues to direct reserves to the northern part of the village and even to attack.

👤 Today, the statement was made in the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) summary: "During the offensive-assault actions conducted by the defense forces, the enemy was forced to retreat from the positions in the Andriivka area." Due to the negligence of some telegram channels, the information about the liberation of the village spread, which is a distortion of information. As soon as the village is liberated, it will be announced on the same page of the AFU General Staff.

🇷🇺 Katsap managed to capture three villages near Karmazynivka: Nadiya (pre-war population - 25 residents), Serhiivka (20), and Novoyehorivka (36)

📍 Unfortunately, the information about Novoyehorivka has been confirmed. Amidst the chaos, some units retreated from Nadiya and Serhiivka, fearing encirclement. Any temporary loss is always unpleasant, but now the main task is to complete stabilization measures and learn from the mistakes.

⛏ We remember that those who want to live must dig, and dig a lot. Some military bloggers suggest that the goal is to strike Borova, we also tend to agree with this thought.

🇦🇺Australia plans to establish guided missile production for MLRS by 2025

🤝These plans were announced during a meeting of the Minister of Defense with his American counterpart, Lloyd Austin.

🚀 Such decisions are driven by the experience of the war in Ukraine, when it turned out that the western countries' warehouses were poorly prepared for prolonged combat actions and tend to run out. The USA is trying to adjust the security situation by expanding the industrial base and upgrading what's already available.

🔄 The opening of a factory in Australia will allow the country to meet its own needs for ammunition, as well as plans to open exports to the USA and other countries. The modernization of airbases in northern Australia, which have outdated infrastructure, was also discussed during the visit.

🦘The Australian continent is geopolitically important in terms of the USA and China's confrontation, so its security is one of the priorities of the American government.

🇷🇴Romania plans to increase the throughput capacity of the Danube grain route - Bloomberg

🗣"We are in close contact with Ukraine to identify the best options for increasing and speeding up this transit (grain transit)... The security situation, of course, is complex, but we are very committed to continuing to help Ukraine," said Romanian Foreign Minister Luminita Odobescu.

🔧Specifically, Romania has modernized and restored the closed rail link with Ukraine and is working on attracting additional staff to guide ships through the Sulina Canal to Ukrainian ports on the river. According to the country's Ministry of Transport, the port of Sulina even recorded a traffic record in May: over 470 ships passed through it.

📊According to an official responsible for pilotage, as early as next month, the number of pilots on the river canal in Romania will gradually begin to increase to 60 from the current 40, which will help increase the canal's throughput capacity by 50%.

🇧🇬Bulgaria is also ready to join the transit of Ukrainian grain if Greek ports can handle it - this was announced by Bulgarian Prime Minister Nikolay Denkov after a visit to Athens.

🇳🇪The head of the presidential guard, Abdurahaman Chiani, has declared himself the new leader of Niger

📺In his televised address, Chiani condemned widespread corruption, poor governance, management of Niger's security, and the previous government's inability to eliminate terrorist groups, leading to thousands of Nigerien deaths.

🗣"The current approach to security has not secured our country, despite the great sacrifices made by Nigeriens, and the valuable support from our external partners," said Chiani. He added that Niger would continue to respect its international partnership relations. In a separate statement, the spokesman for the junta, Colonel Amadu Abdraman, warned against any attempts at foreign intervention.

🤷‍♂️Western politicians "strongly condemned" the coup:

🟠EU Foreign Affairs Representative Josep Borrell stated that any breach of the constitutional order would have consequences for cooperation between the EU and Niger, including the immediate suspension of all budgetary support.

🟠The UN Security Council called for the release of President Mohamed Bazoum:

💭"Members of the UN Security Council expressed concern about the negative consequences of unconstitutional changes of power in the region, increasing terrorist activity, and the difficult socio-economic situation," the Security Council statement said.

🫠Ironically, in 2021, Chiani's forces stopped a coup attempt when a military unit tried to seize the presidential palace 48 hours before the ousted President Bazoum's inauguration.
