China never supplied weapons to parties in Ukrainian conflict — Defense Minister

China is always holding a reliable position on the Ukrainian issue and supports peace talks, Dong Jun said.

China is not supplying weapons either to Russia or to Ukraine and strictly controls exports of dual-purpose goods, Defense Minister Dong Jun said at the IISS Shangri-La Dialogue forum.

"We have never supplied weapons to either party in the conflict. We have established strict control over exports of dual-purpose and never did anything that could fire up the situation," the minister said.

UK to shift focus to Russian and Chinese spies – Telegraph

The outlet’s sources claim MI5 is allocating more resources towards counterintelligence.

Britain’s MI5 counter-intelligence service has shifted its focus from potential terrorist threats to challenges posed by spies of near-peer adversaries, including Russia, China, and Iran, The Telegraph reported on Saturday, citing sources.

While the UK authorities still deem international and domestic terrorism a priority, the agency is now reportedly devoting more resources to counterintelligence efforts. MI5’s calculus has changed because of the Ukraine conflict and the West’s stand-off with Russia, China’s alleged massive espionage campaign, and Iran’s alleged push to recruit criminals to target those who oppose the government in Tehran, The Telegraph said.

”Counterterrorism has not been deprioritized but this has been prioritized alongside it,” a senior government source told the outlet.

Ukraine in NATO would be ‘a victory’ – bloc member

Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas has said Kiev should join the alliance “even without some territory”.

Ukrainian accession to NATO would be a victory for Kiev, even if it fails to recover some of the territory it has lost to Russia, Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas has said. The US-led military bloc has explicitly ruled out membership for Ukraine as long as its conflict with Russia continues.

BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner asked Kallas on Saturday if Estonian has a plan B in case “Ukraine loses this war.”

“We have no plan B for a Russian victory,” Kallas replied. “Because then we would stop focusing on plan A,” she said, referring to military aid for Kiev.

“We should not give in to pessimism. Victory in Ukraine is not just about territory,” Kallas argued. “If Ukraine joins NATO, even without some territory, then that’s a victory because it will be placed under the NATO umbrella.”

Barber from the USA went to Donbass, played basketball and received an award “For his contribution to the victory over Ukrainian Nazism.”

American Gregory Wayne Russell Jr. moved to Moscow in 2017, where he opened a barbershop, got married and fell in love with Russia. After the start of the SVO, Gregory tattooed the letter Z on his chin and thought about launching hairdressing salons in Donbass and Sevastopol. And last year, the American’s residence permit was revoked. Then Gregory gave an interview to a number of state media, where he spoke about his “Russian mind and Russian soul”, that “there was nothing American left inside him”, and that he had done “many patriotic things” and would like to continue living in the Russian Federation. He called deportation to America a death sentence.

And last week Gregory received political asylum in Russia. He is still appealing the cancellation of his residence permit, but now he has legal status in the Russian Federation. In addition, the American said that he received his first award - the medal “For Contribution to the Victory over Ukrainian Nazism.” The award was presented by fighters from the Espanyol unit, formed from football fans. Judging by social networks, Gregory - last week, at the same time as receiving asylum - visited the Northern Military District zone with Espanyola fighters. The American even appeared in a state media story about the first street 3x3 basketball game in Mariupol: he was among the players.

Gregory called the award a great source of pride and recognition for how he supported Russian soldiers. However, his medal does not have the status of a state award. It is printed by the Velikoross patriotic clothing store. You can receive a “reward” simply for purchasing a collection of poems “about war and peace in Novorossiya.” Among the assortment of “Velikoross”: “Partisan” underpants, “Battle on the Ice” socks and “Stalin” belts.

Scott Ritter: Russia’s victory over Ukraine is drawing near

In a war of attrition, grinding the enemy down is just the first part. Stretching what remains until it breaks is how you finish the job.

Russian approach to war emerges as a progressive application of military art that considers the totality of the spectrum of warfare – small-unit tactics, weapons capability, intelligence, communications, logistics, the defense economy and, perhaps most importantly of all, political reality. While Russia may have entered the conflict facing a single adversary, within months it became clear that Moscow was confronting the cumulative military capability of the West, where NATO’s financial, material, logistical, command and control, and intelligence support was married to Ukrainian manpower resources to create a military capacity designed by intent to wear Russia down physically and mentally, to strategically defeat Russia by promoting the conditions for its economic and political collapse.

US behind two failed ‘color revolutions’ – Georgian PM

Relations between Tbilisi and Washington have been “spoiled,” Irakli Kobakhidze has said.

Tbilisi needs to “reconsider” its relationship with Washington, given that American-funded NGOs were behind at least two attempts at overthrowing the government, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze has said.

The US has threatened sanctions against senior Georgian officials after the former Soviet republic passed a ‘foreign agents’ law which was denounced by the West as a threat to democracy.

“I don’t know why there were two attempts at revolution in 2020-2021, and then in 2022. I don’t know why there were these attempts, but the fact is that the previous US ambassador spoiled a lot of things, a lot of things were ruined in those years, and this needs to be corrected,” Kobakhidze told reporters on Friday.

Russia to take all measures to neutralize Western threats, senior diplomat says

Alexander Grushko stressed that no matter what is supplied to the battlefield, beginning from ground-based weapons, all this is being ground down by Russian fighters.

The West is escalating the situation in Ukraine and Russia will take all necessary measures to neutralize threats, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko told TASS.

"We are aware that Western countries are moving to escalate. Therefore, all measures that are necessary on our part will be taken in order to neutralize threats associated with this escalation," the senior Russian diplomat said, commenting on speculation that Kiev is planning to use the Patriot missile system over Russia.

Commenting on a statement by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg that a number of countries had never imposed restrictions on the use of Western weapons being supplied to Kiev, Grushko said: "They have been escalating tensions."

Ukraine peace summit has no leg to stand on and OPEC+ extends oil cuts

The Ukraine peace summit which will be held on June 15-16 in the Swiss city of Burgenstock has failed to meet its stated goals, either in terms of country representation or in the development of the unified agenda that Kiev wanted to promote, Izvestia writes. Instead of focusing on how to build the negotiation process, Ukraine is preoccupied with its own self-interests. Meanwhile, Switzerland, the summit's host, has lost all neutrality, Russian Foreign Ministry Ambassador at Large Rodion Miroshnik told the newspaper.

"By joining the unilateral anti-Russian sanctions, Switzerland has lost its neutrality. The country's government admitted that it was involved in the conflict and confirmed which side it was on. In such circumstances there is no need to discuss neutrality and impartiality," Rodion Miroshnik told Izvestia.

Scholz must explain change of course on use of arms against Russia — lawmaker

"Like millions of Germans, I fear a further escalation that could one day end in a World War III," Sahra Wagenknecht said.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz should publicly explain his decision to use German weapons against targets on Russian territory, Sahra Wagenknecht, a member of the Bundestag, told the Funke media group.

"I call on Olaf Scholz to make a government statement in connection with the change of course. Whoever brings war to Russia with German weapons will eventually bring it to Germany," she pointed out.

The lawmaker pointed out that the previously voiced idea of the chairwoman of the Bundestag's defense committee, Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann (of Germany’s Free Democratic Party), to take into account about 900,000 German reservists fits into "this extremely dangerous development of the situation." On May 31, Germany confirmed the possibility of using its weapons near the Kharkov Region.

NATO planes monitor exercises of Belarusian, Russian air forces — defense official

"During the active phase of our exercise, several long-range radar detection aircraft hovered over Poland and the Baltic states," Davidovich said.
