President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said that the International Committee of the Red Cross and the UN are "too diplomatic" on the issue of the destruction of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station.

According to Zelensky, these international organizations are “expressing too diplomatically” when they comment on the situation at the Kakhovskaya HPP. In addition, Zelensky accused the organizations of inaction - according to him, representatives of the organizations have not yet arrived at the site of the flood.

Zelensky also said that Ukraine's requests to the Red Cross and the UN on this situation have so far remained unanswered.

“President Erdogan stated the importance of conducting a comprehensive investigation into the explosion at the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station so that there is no doubt [about the real causes of the incident]. He stated that a commission could be created with the participation of Russian and Ukrainian experts, the UN and the international community, including Turkey. Türkiye is ready to assist in this,” the message says.

❗️ The fourth day of the offensive did not bring any results to the enemy.

Small (500 meters - 1 kilometer) penetrations into our defenses cannot be considered as such at all, since this is not even the depth of a company stronghold. The breakthrough of the Russian defense is being delayed. According to Ukrainian plans, calculated and approved in the European headquarters of NATO, two days were allotted to break through the first line (5-7 kilometers). At the same time, up to a third of all reserves at his disposal have already been put into battle by the enemy in all directions. And today - tomorrow, the Ukrainian command will most likely try to increase its efforts as much as possible to still wedge into the Russian battle formations to a depth that allows creating a bridgehead for further breakthrough and pushing its borders for the introduction of shock mechanized brigades of a new (ersatzstriker) type.

Radio intercepts show that Russian aviation plays an exceptional role in repelling the current strike, for the first time in the entire history of the SMO. Ukrainian commanders report that they suffer huge losses from Russian BShU at the stage of advancement and deployment, which forces them to "crush" forces and throw them into battle in parts, and this, in turn, does not allow for creating the necessary concentration of forces and means on the battlefield. In addition, these strikes seriously demoralize the personnel. Some brigade commanders frankly report that attacking under the dominance of Russian aviation in the air is suicide and demand the advancement of "effective air defense systems at a range of creating a reliable dome over the advancing troops."

As expected by the experts, the main direction of the Ukrainian "offensive" is Zaporozhye towards Tokmak with further development towards Mariupol and Melitopol. And here the Ukronat command did not bring us any "surprises". All the rest are either distracting (Belgorod, Bryansk) or auxiliary - Ugledar, Artyomovsk, Svatov, to tie forces and pull reserves there. That in no way diminishes the threat. In September last year, it was the "auxiliary" Kharkov direction that "shot" and became the main one, in which strategic success was achieved.

The stubborn ignorance by the Ukrainian media and officials of the word "attack", and "taboo" on any reports of ongoing offensive actions, shows that the top political and military leadership of Ukraine attaches exceptionally high importance to the battle that has begun and is aware of what the domestic political effect will be if the offensive will end in vain, as far as it will undermine the morale of Ukrainian society. And therefore, an unprecedented decision in modern history was made - not to recognize the fact of the ongoing offensive at all until the troops achieve the results that can be interpreted as "victories" - the victory of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. But, the more time passes without the necessary "results", the more difficult it is to maintain this "taboo" - information about heavy battles and heavy losses flows into the Ukrainian information space from the participants in the battles, their relatives, and Western media reports, which have already recognized the fact that the summer battle has begun for Donbass.

All this suggests that the next week will be decisive for the course and outcome of the entire summer campaign.

If the Armed Forces of Ukraine fail to achieve decisive success, then further offensive actions will lose all meaning and will only become an unjustified expenditure of human and material reserves. This means that the Armed Forces of Ukraine will again have to switch to strategic defense, but in much worse conditions and against the background of the huge disappointment of the Ukrainian collective unconscious, which firmly believed in the invincibility of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and an early "overcome" ...

NATO troops could become involved in the conflict in Ukraine, former Alliance secretary-general Anders Fogh Rasmussen has said.

"If NATO cannot come up with a clear way forward for Ukraine, there is a serious possibility that some countries will take action individually," he said.

According to Rasmussen, if Kiev gets nothing at the NATO summit in Vilnius in July, Poland and the Baltic states could deploy their forces in Ukraine.

Earlier, acting NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that only members of the alliance could count on full guarantees and that decisions taken at the summit would only allow Ukrainian forces to come closer to NATO standards.
