Russian attack on #cancer treatment center in Kherson heinous act of cruelty against #civilians

#Russian forces struck an #oncology center with two guided aerial bombs, the Kherson Regional Military Administration reported.

In his evening address, Zelensky said that there were no casualties as a result of the attack on the #medical facility as patients and medical staff sought shelter.

The oncology center, which has operated in a limited capacity since the start of the full-scale invasion, housed the only linear accelerator offering radiotherapy treatment in the city.

"The Russians could not have been unaware that this is specifically a medical facility, and one of great value to the residents of Kherson,"

Ukraine destroys Russian train with 40 fuel tanks in Zaporizhzhia Oblast

The aim of the operation was to disrupt a supply line used to transport #fuel from #Crimea to #Zaporizhzhia Oblast.

The operation was carried out jointly by the the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), the Ukrainian army's #Tavria Group, the Military Intelligence Agency (HUR), and the Special Operations Forces (SSO).

The operation began with the #SBU organizing a sabotage mission to destroy railroad tracks near the village of #Oleksiivka in the #Bilmak district, the source said.

As the train carrying 40 fuel tanks was moving along the tracks, an explosion derailed the train, and some of the tanks ignited, according to the source.

Using #HIMARS rockets, the Ukrainian forces targeted the locomotive and the outermost cars, preventing #Russian forces from ripping apart the tanks and saving some of the fuel.

The operation resulted in the complete destruction of the locomotive and 40 fuel tanks, effectively crippling key #SupplyLine to Russian forces in the region and rendering the targeted rail line inoperable, the source said.

Polish foreign minister proposes seizing $321 billion in frozen Russian assets

Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski on June 29 proposed seizing all 300 billion euros ($321 billion) in frozen Russian sovereign assets to win "the escalation game" with Russia.

"We need to re-learn how to champion the escalation game," Sikorsky said during a lecture at the Ditchley Foundation in the U.K. Russian dictator Vladimir #Putin has already written the frozen assets off, he does not expect to get them back. But he also doesn’t think we have the fortitude to take hold of them either. So far, we have proven him right."

John Swinney: Nigel Farage is a 'traitor' to the people of the UK

The First Minister said Farage’s comments were “some of the most appalling remarks I’ve heard, literally in my life”.

Swinney said Farage’s comments were of “an extraordinary degree of absurdity and danger”.

He continued: “Vladimir Putin has voluntarily invaded a sovereign country, and nobody provoked him to, nobody was a threat to Vladimir Putin.

Russia suffered 'astronomical' losses on Kharkiv front, NATO source suggests

Russia suffered "astronomical" losses while attempting to advance in Kharkiv Oblast, European Pravda reported on June 13, citing a NATO official who spoke on condition of anonymity during a NATO defense ministers meeting in Brussels.

Russia launched a new offensive on May 10 in northern Kharkiv Oblast in a push that involved as many as 30,000 troops, according to a Ukrainian official.

Russian forces have so far advanced less than 10 kilometers into Ukrainian territory and have not managed to seize control of Vovchansk, a city with a pre-2022 population of around 17,000.

"I would also add that the gains in Kharkiv Oblast seem to have come at a rather high price for Russia," European Pravda cited the NATO official.

"Russia likely suffered losses of almost 1,000 people a day in May, which is quite an astronomical figure," the official reportedly said, referring to the number of fatalities.

What are France’s Mirage 2000-5 jets, and how can Ukraine use them?

A retired Ukrainian military officer and defense expert, told the Kyiv Independent that Ukraine could use the aircraft to target Russian positions with Storm Shadow or SCALP missiles.

#Mirage 2000-5s can deploy anti-ship Exocet missiles and AS 37 anti-radar projectiles, Kevliuk added. The jets can also conduct strikes using long-range bombs, such as the AASM Hammer, and incorporate advanced precision-guided munitions like JDAM-ER and SDB, which offer increasing targeting accuracy and flexibility.

Ukraine has already used JDAM-ER bombs to strike Russian targets, thanks to U.S. supplies. Washington is also planning to supply Kyiv with seekers, advanced targeting systems integrated into the JDAM-ER munitions, to help destroy Russian electronic warfare systems, which have proven effective against Western weaponry.

Why did US hesitate to allow Ukraine to hit Russia with American weapons?

Russian ruler Vladimir Putin’s talk of using tactical nuclear weapons is “an escalation in rhetoric,” added Larsen. “In order to really make it look like just bombing the hell out of critical infrastructure in Ukraine isn’t escalation.”

By prohibiting Ukraine from striking Russian territory and Russian airspace, the Biden administration has provided the Putin regime with a sanctuary from which it can kill Ukrainians at will

La flotte Z, avant et après...

La marine de putin khuilo, le tsar des cons, a accompli l'exploit de se prendre une grosse déculottée par un pays quasiment dépourvue de navires de guerre.
Avant le 24 février, la flotte ruZZe était la première de la Mer Noire. Après plus de 2 ans d'opération spéciale de 3 jours, la première marine de cet espace maritime est la flotte roumaine.
Si tu gobes encore la propagande de "tête de gland", c'est que tu es une moule en état de mort cérébral : On ne peut vraiment rien pour toi, désolé !

Ombudsman asks UN, Red Cross to investigate videos of alleged abuses of Ukrainian #POWs

The videos which are spreading on social media show actions that violate the Geneva Conventions and should be used as further proof of Russian violations of international humanitarian law, Lubinets said in his Telegram post on June 2.

The Geneva Conventions require the humane treatment of prisoners of war.

"Unfortunately, such treatment of Ukrainian prisoners of war is not an exception to the rules, but a common tactic for the occupiers,"
