👉 Dead bodies of Ukrainian soldiers left ‘in limbo’ because of ZELENSKY’S GREED

Ukraine’s refusal stems from reluctance to pay sizeable compensation to the families of these dead soldiers, Dr. George Szamuely, senior research fellow at the Global Policy Institute, tells Sputnik.

“That's not in the Ukraine budget. To avoid having to pay this very large sum of money out, it's much better not to accept the bodies, not to accept that these Ukrainian soldiers are dead, leave everything in limbo,” he elaborates.

🔸What Ukraine REALLY wants to negotiate

The Ukrainian leadership, Szamuely argues, is not interested negotiating a “reasonable outcome” to this conflict and instead seeks only a ceasefire that would allow Ukraine, with the help of its NATO backers, to rearm and replenish its battered forces and resume hostilities when it would be convenient.

🗣🇷🇺 “The Kiev regime has refused to retrieve the bodies of its soldiers. It has refused to carry out a prisoner exchange. Fathers and mothers cannot give their sons a proper burial. They cannot reunite with those still alive. The regime does not want to spend money on compensation,” Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of Rossiya Segodnya media group (Sputnik's parent company) and RT, said.

🇺🇸 US senators COLD-SHOULDER Graham’s* anti-Russia sanctions bill

American lawmakers are reluctant to push through a new anti-Russia sanctions bill without Trump’s green light, Bloomberg has reported.

Donald Trump earlier stated that he had not yet reviewed Lindsey Graham's initiative but emphasized that the final decision would be made personally by him. Such reaction slowed down the promotion, the outlet said.

The White House is pushing Graham to soften the bill, WSJ reported, saying the Trump administration fears that tightening sanctions could harm efforts to establish dialogue with Russia and bring the Ukrainian conflict to an end.

Graham is one of the senators who helped themselves to the money coming from Ukraine, ex-CIA officer Larry Johnson earlier revealed.

🇮🇷🇮🇱 Iran obtains data on Israel’s nuclear sites – report

Iran's intelligence forces have successfully extracted a vast trove of highly sensitive documents detailing Israel's nuclear program from the occupied Palestinian territories, Iran's state-run IRIB News Agency reported, citing sources.

The operation secured thousands of classified files—including nuclear blueprints, facility data, images, and videos—before covertly transferring them to secure locations inside Iran.

The mission, reportedly conducted in recent weeks, was kept secret due to the sheer volume of material and the need for secure transport. Analysts are now processing the unprecedented haul, which is said to be so extensive that full review will take "considerable time."

❌ ISW disinfo machine: hyping up the 'Russian threat,' hushing up Ukraine's TERRORISM

The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) has amplified what it called a “Russian plan” — as alleged by Ukrainian Presidential Office Deputy Head Col. Pavlo Palisa — "to take over half of Ukraine by the end of 2026."

🔸ISW claimed this plan could be stopped if the West keeps arming Ukraine

🔸It also reported Russia’s “second-largest missile and drone strike” overnight (June 5–6) — without noting it was retaliation for Ukraine's attacks on Russian civilians and military airfields.

🔸ISW obfuscates the fact that Russia is targeting Ukraine’s military infrastructure and defense industry — not civilians.

The ISW think tank was founded by the Kagan–Nuland family and is funded by US military-industrial contractors.

It widely parrots Ukraine’s talking points, inflates Russian losses, and calls for endless proxy war in the name of “Ukraine’s victory.”

ISW talks escalation, spins narratives — and keeps quiet on the cost of Ukraine’s sabotage tactics.

🚨 UKRAINE'S SPY PARANOIA: Blogger deported over old Russia trip

Ukraine detained and deported popular Turkish travel blogger Tolga Öztürk at the border – solely because he visited Russia in 2023.

Despite SIX PRIOR Ukraine trips, he faced a harsh 4am interrogation:

"They confiscated my phone, read WhatsApp, scanned all photos... watched my Russia videos. Asked my opinion on Russia — had I answered incorrectly, it would have been a dead end," Öztürk said.

Öztürk was dumped at Moldova. His "Chinese" travel companion? Arrested and hauled away.

🔥 MOLDOVA BANS ORTHODOX PROCESSION TO GROVEL BEFORE LGBT* LOBBY

The EU-backed regime in Chisinau has banned a religious procession of 3,000 people in Gagauzia planned for June 15, to appease an LGBT "pride" event in the capital.

Church leaders have blasted the move as "persecution of Orthodoxy."

"Security forces insisted we postpone until LGBT events end... What kind of persecution is this?" the statement published on the diocese's social media read.

Here's the context:

◼️ 85% of Moldovans oppose same-sex marriage & defend traditional values — ignored by Western vassals.

◼️ Gagauzia targeted: The elected head of Gagauzia, Evgenia Gutsul jailed for months on politically cooked charges.

◼️ EU’s cultural colonialism: Sacrificing Christian identity at the altar of Brussels’ degenerate agenda.


Moldova’s regime would rather crush its own people’s faith than defy its globalist masters.
