The offensive was not a failure, as it improved les🇺🇦 positions on the entire southern front, but it was placed under tactical inventory.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Night strikes of the RF Armed Forces on objects in Zaporozhye
Tonight, the Russian Armed Forces launched blows with Geran-2 kamikaze drones on targets in the territories controlled by the Kyiv regime. Most explosions took place in Zaporozhye.
Tonight, the Russian Armed Forces launched blows with Geran-2 kamikaze drones on targets in the territories controlled by the Kyiv regime. Most explosions took place in Zaporozhye.
One of the goals was the territory of the Zaporozhye titanium and magnesium plant. On satellite images, the object looks abandoned and is quite suitable for the placement of equipment or other military equipment.
Also, kamikaze drones flew over the Zaporozhognepor plant, where the Ukrainian Armed Forces ammunition depot was supposedly located. Another object hit was the Two Moons Hotel. According to preliminary data, the personnel of the enemy were stationed there.

💥In the Russian cruise and ballistic missiles that attack #Ukraine every day, there are electronic parts produced in the USA, Switzerland, Japan and Germany.
Despite the sanctions, #Russia continues to purchase them through third countries and fake companies.
Despite the sanctions, #Russia continues to purchase them through third countries and fake companies.
The majority of the foreign electronic components used by Russia for the production of missiles is produced in the USA - 81%, Switzerland - 8%, Germany - 3.5% and Japan - 3.5%.
In particular, components from such companies as STMicroelectronics (Switzerland), Vicor (USA), XILINX (USA), Intel Corporation (USA), Texas Instruments (USA), ZILOG (USA), Maxim Integrated (USA) and Cypress Semiconductor (USA) are used.
🧵It appears that as of now we have no consensus in @NATO to bring #Ukraine into the alliance, with the conversation having shifted to debating a formula that would provide assurances and support to Ukraine short of membership. These half measures will help, but not enough. 1/8
I won’t go into those proposals, as in my view none offers a clear path forward that Ukraine needs to rebuild after the war. Moscow banks that that the West will not stand up for what it preaches, and that it will push #Ukraine to a settlement that will cede UKR territory. 2/8
After speaking with my colleagues in center right parties around the world at @idualliance meeting in London, it’s crystal clear conservatives around the world are strongly backing #Ukraine and oppose Russia’s illegal war of aggression.
Who on the “right” supports Russia? 🧵
Who on the “right” supports Russia? 🧵
Russia has been “working the room” for years trying to peel off those on the fringe left (remnants of the anti-war movement) and right (isolationist populists). Paid-for trips, jobs, “agreements” with Putin’s party, propaganda, and disinfo are some of the tools.
Example: Russian operatives have been working the youth wings of European parties to gain a foothold in public discourse.

Two days ago an enormous cargo plane arrived in #Russia from #Iran.
So no surprise that recent nights of 3-6 drones suddenly became this:
32 Iranian attack drones shot down in the last 24 hours by #Ukraine. But it two managed to get through defences.

1/ This @NewYorker piece by Keith Gessen asking “who lost Russia?” is an important read and I highly recommend it. The main takeaway for me is the effect that Western advice and pressures had on sending the entire Soviet block… newyorker.com/magazine/2023/…

3/ Communism, it left a lasting political legacy of right-wing movements and even fascism. The West encouraged an extreme version of laissez-faire capitalism that was never acceptable in any Western country. The results were predictable and paved the way for Putin.

🧵It’s fair to say that @NATO’s military leaders have provided our political leadership with the best military advice on how to implement the DDA concept. It’s now up to politicians to step up and make it happen. What happens in Vilnius will define Transatlantic security. 1/5
This is a moment in history where we either invest what’s needed now, or we will be required to pay orders of magnitude more later when the security environment has deteriorated even more. It’s not just about strategic myopia manifest in some @NATO countries or disbelief. 2/5
It’s about the inability (unwillingness?) to recognize how radically the world has changed. For 30 years democracies have been fed bromides about the “peace dividend,” the “end of history,” “globalization” and “complex interdependence.” Our societies have become disarmed. 3/5

Operations continue, as difficult as ever to understand and follow.
Operations continue, as difficult as ever to understand and follow.
#Ukraine June 19 (2) The UKR are making efforts on several axes, but without committing troops to achieve significant results.
They are therefore "pushing" slowly on several axes far from each other.
In Bakhmut, for example.

Kyiv district court states that decision in Maidan massacre trial in #Ukraine would be announced in September/October. Trial revealed overwhelming evidence that Maidan protesters were massacred not by police but by snipers in Maidan-controlled buildings. researchgate.net/publication/36…
Despite evidence presented at trial showing beyond reasonable doubt that police did not massacre Maidan protesters, impartial judgement from court’s verdict would be heroic because of directives from presidential administration & attacks from far-right. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…
My earlier thread: Overwhelming evidence revealed by Maidan massacre trial in Ukraine shows that Maidan protesters were massacred not by Berkut police but by Maidan snipers in false flag operation to overthrow Ukrainian government. But no media reports.

An interesting tactical #adaptation by the Russians in #Ukraine. Packing an old tank full of explosives and remotely driving it at Ukrainian positions. Of course, nothing new here. 1/10 🧵
2/ The German Army developed and used mini-versions of these during WW2 called Goliath 'tracked mines'. Carrying 60kg of explosive, they had over 600m of cable for remote operation.
3/ The Germans used them at Normandy, however they were never a very successful capability. They were slow and too easy to target.
🚨 EXCL: The UK Govt are co-funding technical assistance & continued development of Ukraine's controversial Diia app through the Eurasia Foundation & its 'Transparency and Accountability in Public Administration and Services' (TAPAS).
TAPAS or 'Transparency & Accountability in Public Administration & Services', is a seven-year, $43 million 'anti-corruption activity' in #Ukraine funded by USAID & UK Aid (2016-2024).

Diia (Дія) meaning 'action' or Держава і Я (State & Me) was first presented in 2019 & officially launched in early 2020.
