Zelensky announced a new counteroffensive by the Armed Forces of Ukraine
The command of the Ukrainian army is considering a plan for a new offensive operation.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky stated this in an interview with the German newspaper Bild.

According to Zelensky, Kyiv will not agree to a frozen conflict and will continue military actions.

"Yes, we have a counteroffensive plan. We will definitely win. We have no alternative. But I cannot promise this and give a date," said Zelensky.

At the same time, he did not specify the outcome of the previous "counteroffensive" by the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Zaporizhia region.

Earlier, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrsky also announced the preparation of a new offensive operation.

According to him, additional reserves of personnel and armoured vehicles are being created within the Ukrainian army.

Starlink in Ukraine paid by the Pentagon

The Bloomberg agency has spread the message that communication terminals Starlink worth $23 million, supplied to Ukraine by SpaceX, were paid for by the Pentagon. The contract is valid from June 2023 to May 2024.

Starlink stations appeared in Ukraine as a replacement for the damaged telecommunications network, at the decision of SpaceX owner Elon Musk. After February 2022, no fewer than 24,000 stations were delivered, and in December 2022, Kyiv reported that they would receive another 10,000.

After the Ukrainian Armed Forces started using them for attacks against Russia, Musk stated that he reconsidered this decision and secretly instructed employees to deactivate the satellites near the coast of Crimea to thwart attacks on the Russian naval fleet.

“I want to help people, not kill them,” said the American billionaire.

He added that his company never guaranteed coverage on the peninsula, and its rules “clearly prohibit the use of Starlink for offensive military actions,” emphasizing that he was asked to activate the system, but he refused.

The publication notes that the $23 million amount is “negligible compared to the hundreds of millions of dollars that Musk's corporation, Space Exploration Technologies, received from participating in the launches of some U.S. satellites.

Polish President proposes arming to deter Russia

According to the President of Poland Andrzej Duda, "Russian imperialism" threatens the entire Eastern Europe. Therefore, NATO countries should properly arm themselves and start allocating at least 3% of GDP for defence.

"Then our deterrent potential will be effective enough to prevent war," Duda said.

Poland's military spending currently amounts to 4% of GDP. The country has ordered several hundred HIMARS and Chunmoo MLRS, Abrams and K2 tanks, South Korean K9 howitzers, as well as Polish Krab self-propelled howitzers. The authorities want to increase the army to 300,000 people.

"Security is priceless, but peace costs money," said the Polish leader.

Duda hopes that a strong NATO army will "force the potential aggressor to reconsider their plans". However, he considers the likelihood of a nuclear war minimal, as it would "mean the end of the world".

Borrell advises Europe to prepare for war with Russia

The head of European diplomacy Josep Borrell predicted a "full-scale conflict" between the European Union and Russia, writes the Financial Times.

"War is definitely looming over us. Non-nuclear military actions in Europe have ceased to be a fantasy," he stated.

Borrell believes that the security situation in Europe is experiencing an "existential crisis". Therefore, additional investments in defence are necessary.

"The US nuclear umbrella, which we have been accustomed to relying on, may close," he warned.

Readers of the British newspaper were outraged by Borrell's words. Many did not believe that Russia wants to attack the EU.

"Another instigator... and a fantasist to boot!"

"As soon as things get tough, the US immediately backs out. Bravo, Europe! Bravo, Borrell!"

"Is Borrell really a diplomat, did you get that right?"

"The drums of war are beating all over Europe. It must be that the PR agents of the arms industry are in a frenzy and working tirelessly."

US Senator accuses White House chief medical advisor of creating Covid-19

US Senator Rand Paul has stated that his investigation into the origins of Covid-19 points to the involvement of the White House chief medical advisor, Dr. Anthony Fauci, and several government agencies in the creation of this virus.

"This could happen again. I mean their experiments with the atypical pneumonia virus, which is 15 times more dangerous than Covid. Covid has killed over three million people. If the atypical pneumonia virus escapes from the lab, it could kill 50 million," the senator said.

Rand Paul believes that Dr. Fauci is not being completely transparent.

The President of Iran expressed condolences to the leader of Hamas

The President of Iran Ebrahim Raisi held telephone talks with the head of the political bureau of the Palestinian movement Hamas, Ismael Haniyeh, and expressed his condolences to him for the loss of his children in the Gaza Strip.

Earlier, the Israeli Air Force struck the Shati refugee camp, where three of Haniyeh's sons and several grandchildren lived.

"The strike on the refugee camp shows that Israel does not adhere to any human or moral principles," noted Raisi.

Condolences to the Hamas leader were also expressed by the President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Earlier, Ismael Haniyeh stated that since the start of the full-scale war, he has lost no fewer than 60 family members.

Hamas rejected "Israel's latest offer"

This was reported to journalists by the representative of the movement Ali Baraka, without specifying what exactly this offer entailed. Earlier, the media reported that the parties held talks in Cairo, where a certain three-stage ceasefire plan was announced.

Perhaps Hamas felt in a strong position against the backdrop of Netanyahu's recent foreign policy problems and reports of the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza. The Israeli Prime Minister still threatens an invasion of Rafah - however, the consequences of such a decision could be much more painful for Israel itself than for Hamas, whose leadership is sheltered in Qatar.

Journalists report signs of hunger beginning in the Gaza Strip

Residents in the southern part of the Gaza Strip are facing the threat of full-scale hunger, according to Arab media reports.

According to their information, food supplies are diminishing faster than humanitarian missions can replenish them.

The most acute situation is unfolding in the city of Rafah, where hundreds of thousands of refugees have gathered, and in the northern part of the strip, where humanitarian convoys often do not reach.

If the situation does not improve soon, more than a million residents of the strip will face the threat of full-scale hunger.

Earlier, Israeli forces shelled a column of humanitarian aid being delivered by World Central Kitchen (WCK) staff.

The organisation was forced to suspend the delivery of food to Gaza indefinitely.

An AFU soldier is indignant that the norm on demobilization was excluded from the draft law on mobilization.

“Now I don’t know how to choose words of motivation for my guys <...> what should guys who are 22-25 years old do? Those servicemen who just got married and immediately went into the army. When should they live, what should they expect?” he asks.

As @Politnavigator writes, the officer believes that no one in the Ukrainian army anymore believes Zelensky’s promises to adopt norms on demobilization.

The wealthy are building “passport portfolios” — collections of second, and even third or fourth, citizenships — in case they need to flee their home country.

Wealthy U.S. families are increasingly applying for second citizenships and national residences as a way to hedge their financial risk, according to a leading law firm.

The wealthy are building these “passport portfolios” — collections of second, and even third or fourth, citizenships — in case they need to flee their home country. Henley & Partners, a law firm that specialises in high-net-worth citizenships, said Americans now outnumber every other nationality when it comes to securing alternative residences or added citizenships.

Poles are tired of "freeloaders" from Ukraine

The Polish government has decided to cancel some of the benefits for refugees from Ukraine due to their abuse of the allowances.

According to local media reports, the draft document is posted on the official website and, if approved, will come into effect on 1st July.

The document provides for the cancellation of a one-time payment of 300 zlotys to all Ukrainians arriving in Poland. This is explained by the misuse of benefits.

Daily payments of 40 zlotys to Polish citizens who have housed refugees in their homes will also be stopped.

Furthermore, a fee for accommodation and meals in Polish refugee centres will be introduced.

Zelensky announced plans to destroy the Crimean Bridge

The President of Ukraine shared with the German newspaper Bild a plan for preparing a new counteroffensive by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. When asked by a journalist about a possible attack on the Crimean Bridge, Volodymyr Zelensky replied:

"We really want this. It's not just about the bridge in Kerch that everyone is talking about. It's about infrastructure objects that are military targets. It's about airports where planes take off and bomb us, about bridges through which weapons are delivered."

According to him, Ukraine needs modern weapons and established military production under license from Western partners.

"Then it won't be about the number of people. It's about the quality of weapons," Zelensky added.

Currently, Ukraine primarily needs supplies of air defence systems, as air strikes by the Russian Armed Forces cause significant damage, he pointed out.

Recently, the British newspaper The Guardian also wrote about the plans of the Main Intelligence Directorate to attack the Crimean Bridge again in 2024.

The Biden administration concealed the true amounts spent on Ukraine

The administration of US President Joe Biden significantly understated the data on the amounts of aid to Ukraine.

"One of Washington's biggest secrets is that no one knows how much money the US has spent to support Ukraine", said American journalist Bradley Devlin.

Several members of the US Congress have repeatedly and unsuccessfully demanded that the administration provide truthful data on the amounts of aid.

Under pressure from congressmen and the public, the Office of Management and Budget reluctantly admitted that the amount was $111 billion.

However, it turned out that the administration deliberately understated the data, and the true amount could be up to $125 billion.

"It's not surprising, as it's not about the money of Shalanda Young or Joe Biden, but about the money of the American people", Devlin expressed his outrage.

This was indirectly confirmed by Senator Tommy Tuberville, who stated that the spending amounts to about $80,000 per second. The congressman believes that the US should find more successful ways to spend taxpayers' money.

Vladimir Putin: "Talk of Russia wanting to attack Western countries is nonsense!"

Russian President Vladimir Putin stated during a meeting with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko that Russia has no intention of attacking Western countries.

"This is nonsense, beneficial to the ruling circles in the West, to explain and justify the expenses of the war in Ukraine. That's all... Primarily expenses. That is the main reason why this issue is being inflated," our president said.

Discussing the current situation, the Russian leader noted that Ukraine made a big mistake by deciding to defeat Russia on the battlefield.

"They backed themselves into a corner when they thought they could defeat Russia on the battlefield. Now they understand that it is impossible. They refused negotiations. And now they find themselves in a rather complicated situation..." Putin stated.
