Does anyone really believe that the man carrying the nuclear codes, was from customs and subject to an investigation for accepting bribes!!

It would be safer in the hands of the Scouts

From the incompetence seen so far, I'm not surprised!

Good luck to Russia if they try to persuade another civilian unarmed ship, to undertake the next mission.

It's close to a suicide trip

Unfortunately, enough brainwashed people want to earn quick money in the war zone.

Panzerhaubitze 2000 in Ukraine.
Minister of defence Oleksei Reznikov:
"This is already the 6th type of 155-mm artillery that has strengthened our defenses. Our soldiers are already striking the enemy with M777, FH70, M109, AHS Krab and Ceasar. From now on, Ph2000 has joined the club.
As always, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, General Valeriy Zaluzhnyi will use them on the battlefield with 100% efficiency."

Confirmed by the Germans.

Soldiers describe Ukraine's 'impossible' secret rescue missions in the besieged city of Mariupol

A series of clandestine, high-speed helicopter missions to reach the Azovstal defenders have been celebrated for rescuing survivors, but some flights did not make it back.

Good video with English subtitles.

Well said, General.

Finland is ready to fight Russia if attacked - defence chief

Finland has prepared for decades for a Russian attack and would put up stiff resistance should one occur, its armed forces chief said.

The Finns, like the Israeli and the Swiss are not be be trifled with. Russia would get its ass kicked in Finland, especially if Ukraine is still fighting on.

I can't help but think China is missing an opportunity to truly rattle the world. If I was China's leader Eleven I would announce support for Ukraine and send hundreds of tanks and kit to Ukraine via Poland. I assume early Chinese tanks are similar to ex-Soviet types. Russia will be furious, but who cares, the West will wonder wtf? and China can take the opportunity to rebuild Ukraine and help to depose Putin and replace him with a better puppet in the Kremlin, one that won't disturb world order, since that's China's job.

 

[Greg Boeser]

Don't think for a minute that China isn't playing Putin's strings. He is their new barking dog, since North Korea's Kim Jong-un isn't scaring anybody these days.

So was it self-inflicted or did someone shoot him?

If this is even true.

It looks like a sloppy hit to me, if indeed it is true.

Well, when you threaten to nuke Texas but your missile breaks up in the south China Sea, people start to have questions...

No he didn't carry the codes when he was shot. He did in the past.

Zimin is a former colonel from the Federal Security Service. During his time in the FSS, he was in charge of the briefcase that carries the Russian nuclear controls and that is always carried by the head of the Kremlin.

 

[ThomasP]

Vadim Zimin used to be a Colonel in the FSB (Federal Security Service). He left the FSB sometime in the last month or so, is currently employed in the FTC (Federal Customs Service), and is under investigation for taking bribes while at his job at the FTC. He was under house arrest at the time of the shooting.


whoops! RogerdeLiuria beat me to it.

Did armed forces of Ukraine entered Kherson? Probably not (yet), but is something to watch.

In the evening of June 22, information began spreading on social networks that the Armed Forces of Ukraine had entered Kherson.
Deputy Vitaliy Kupriy on his Facebook page.

From two independent sources it became known to me that our fighters occupied 4 streets of Kherson. The offensive continues, he wrote on Facebook.

Later, another ex-MP, Ihor Mosiychuk, hinted that the Armed Forces had some success in the Kherson area.

– Kherson. I recommend watching this Ukrainian city closely and waiting for good news, – he wrote.

In the evening, Oleksiy Arestovych, Adviser to the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, commented on this as follows

– We do not confirm or deny. Let's see what happens next, – he said

Later, the Telegram channel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine denied it.

– The information that the Armed Forces entered Kherson is not true. Because most of the media have already started throwing this information, – it is said in the message.

Social media users suggest that information about the entry of Ukrainian defenders into Kherson was provided to discredit the Ukrainian media and catch fakes. Others believe it may be part of a guerrilla struggle in the occupied city.

So far, no official information has been received from the Ukrainian command that the Armed Forces have entered the city. As a rule, events at the front are usually reported publicly in a day or more, as this may affect the security situation in the region.

I get the feeling Kim is throwing tantrums because "no one is paying attention to me!"

In my view, they would have nothing to gain from doing that and would create a new enemy. Despite the west's aversion to China's policies, we keep buying their cheap crap and they thrive on that. Would we buy more cheap crap if they helped Ukraine? Would it change our perception of China's ongoing human rights abuses and its belligerent foreign policy? No. "Thanks for your help China but we still think you have eyes on the South China Sea and Taiwan. Oh, and not to mention your attempts at global dominance of strategic materials and markets. Oh, and, do you have any more of those cute little plastic bobble heads? We need two billion by next Thursday."

Just last week, Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia applied for EU membership under a "fast track" appeal.

Good luck to them. North Macedonia has had EU candidate status for 17 years. Albania has been an official EU candidate for eight years now. The Macedonians can wait, but I would not have Ukraine, Moldova and Georgia jump the queue over Albania; so best to fast track and consider EU status to all four.
