Torn between East & West, is Ukraine having an identity crisis? Well, just ask ex-boxer Klitschko & a half-Palestinian journalist…
Ukrainian politics is like the start of a bad joke. A comedian and a boxer walk into a bar... and end up taking over the government. But that is exactly how President Volodymyr Zelensky and Kiev mayor Vitali Klitschko started out.

Soviets worked with West to bring down Nazi legacy – but now NATO expansion risks tearing Europe apart once again, Putin says —…
Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned that a new arms race is underway in Europe, driven by instability and tension, while insisting his country stands ready to rebuild friendly relations with nations across the continent.

Back in April, I wrote about the strange kind of censorship by US-based Big Tech, citing multiple examples of erasing content celebrating the Red Army's defeat of Nazis in WW2. With the 80th anniversary of the Nazi invasion ("Operation Barbarossa") looming, it seems the censorship continues.
"The Sacred War" (Священная война) is a song that inspired the Soviets to resist the invaders in 1941. Apparently, YouTube is now flagging a video of it with English-language lyrics as "inappropriate or offensive to some audiences" as determined by the "community" — i.e. YouTube moderators.
As I noted back in April, if celebrating the defeat of Nazis is offensive to the "community," then "perhaps there’s something deeply wrong with that community."

Is Facebook so eager to ‘get Russia’ by banning RT’s Redfish that it’s defending… fascism and Auschwitz?
When posts celebrating the fall of Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler, or the liberation of Auschwitz, are censored for violating Facebook’s “community standards,” perhaps there’s something deeply wrong with that community.

A Russian warship has fired warning shots after the HMS Defender, a British Royal Navy destroyer, violated Russia's maritime borders in the Black Sea, the Russian Ministry of Defence announced Wednesday.
Along with the naval maneuvers, a Russian Su-24M attack aircraft carried out a mock bombing run against the British warship, according to the ministry.

Positions of Two NATO Ships Were Falsified Near Russian Black Sea Naval Base
According to an automatic identification system (AIS) signal, which transmits position details to improve maritime safety, the pair left Odessa just before midnight on June 18. The data shows that they sailed directly to Sevastopol, approaching to within two nautical miles of the harbor entrance. The strategic port houses the headquarters of Russia’s Black Sea fleet.
Despite the AIS track, there is clear evidence that the two warships did not leave Odessa. Live webcam feeds show that they did not leave Odessa, however. This was anyway the known situation in defense circles, and local media. Anyone in Odessa can see that they did not leave. The webcams are broadcast live on YouTube by Odessa Online. Screenshots archived by third party weather sites like Windy.com show the two warships present in Odessa overnight.
Positioning two NATO warships at the entrance at the entrance of a major Russian naval base would be widely seen as a provocative action, based on conflicting claims of sovereignty . Most of the international community, including the U.S, Britain and the Netherlands, do not recognize Crimea as part of Russia.
