Various evidence shows that #Russia also plans to annex #Kherson Region, parts of #Zaporizhzhia & #Kharkiv regions & other parts of Eastern & Southern #Ukraine that it would manage to occupy. Russia appointed there administrations led by local pro-Russian politicians & officials.
"On June 7, the First Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration of Russia Sergey Kiriyenko visited Kherson & said that the incorporation of the region into Russia "will be full-fledged" like Crimea. #Ukraine #UkraineWar strana.news/news/394527-ki…

“The district should appear after referendums on joining Russia are held in these territories. Ukrainian territories will not join the existing districts, ”explained one of the sources." #Ukraine #RussianUkrainianWar #UkraineWar

My research, including KMIS survey that I commissioned in Spring 2014, shows that there is marginal support for joining #Russia in regions of Southern & Eastern #Ukraine, with exceptions of #Crimea & #Donbas washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-ca…
My article with more detailed survey-based analysis showing marginal support in other regions of Eastern & Southern #Ukraine for joining #Russia or secession from Ukraine, in contrast to #Crimea and #Donbas. #UkraineWar #Ukraina #RussiaUkraineWar #Kherson researchgate.net/publication/29…

"European Union’s executive arm is expected to recommend next week that Ukraine be granted candidate status, a key step on the long path to EU membership, according to people familiar with the matter." 1/ bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
"A final European Commission opinion, even if positive, would need the approval of member states before Ukraine is officially granted the status.... The membership process includes an arduous set of steps and conditions that can normally last more than a decade..." 2/
"Germany said an outcome could be conditional candidate status, the officials said. Denmark said that Ukraine does not sufficiently fulfil criteria related to the stability of institutions guaranteeing democracy, the rule of law, human rights and respect for ... minorities." 3/

#Zelenskyy presidential office adviser states that #Ukrainian military casualties are now 100-200 killed per day. It equals 3,000-6,200 killed per month. Typical wounded ratio suggests that 500-1,000 are wounded per day that equals 15,000-30,000 per month. bbc.com/ukrainian/news…
Officially admitted #Ukrainian military losses of 100-200 killed per day in #UkraineRussiaWar exclude missing in action & apparently SBU, police & other non-military personnel. Armchair warriors, who push to continue the war to the last Ukrainian, need to go & fight themselves.
"Ukraine says up to 200 soldiers dying a day."

This report is consistent with my daily examination of dozens of videos. They show that artillery & missile strikes by #Russian, separatist & #Ukrainian forces are most deadly weapons in #UkraineWar. And #Russia has big advantage in artillery & missiles. cbc.ca/news/world/eas…
It was clear from start of #RussiaUkraineWar that #Russia has such big military advantage over #Ukraine & that gambling on defeating #Russia against all odds would cost large number of #Ukrainian lives & territory, compared to possible peace deal. But many backed such gamble.
And various other such media reports: "The Fight to Survive Russia’s Onslaught in Eastern Ukraine. The war has become, as one Ukrainian soldier put it, a game of “artillery Ping-Pong.” newyorker.com/news/dispatch/…

#Zelenskyy about #Ukrainian military casualties during #RussiaUkraineWar : "The situation is very difficult, 60-100 soldiers per day die in combat and about 500 are wounded in combat." This would equal 1,800-3,100 killed & 15,000-15,500 wounded per month. pravda.com.ua/news/2022/06/1…
#Zelenskyy statement about 60-100 soldiers killed & about 500 wounded per day in combat is minimal casualty number. Missing in action, who are killed, are not reported as killed. Casualty numbers also likely exclude territorial defense, police, SBU, etc & non-combat casualties.
#Zelenskyy made this statement in Newsmax interview: "The situation is very difficult; we're losing 60-100 soldiers per day as killed in action and something around 500 people as wounded in action." #Ukraine #Russia #UkraineRussiaWar #RussiaUkraineWar newsmax.com/newsmax-tv/vol…
