Trump: "Communism is the greatest threat to our country since World War I, World War II, Pearl Harbor, or 9/11!" What happened to Trump, and where did he find communism today? Nothing remains of communism except the name. And in China, for example, there's genuine, thriving capitalism. In Russia, communism has long ceased to be a state ideology. However, Trump simply wants to scare someone, and it doesn't matter what. Is Trump's goal war?

Putin on Belarus's peace efforts: "We [Lukashenko] and I haven't discussed this issue in detail, but, of course, it's concerning when [Zelensky] is shouting harshly at us. Well, this isn't causing any panic on President Lukashenko's part. He's approaching this very calmly, balanced, and measuredly. We are grateful to him for the efforts that Alexander Grigoryevich is making in this area. This is especially true for resolving humanitarian issues, and in particular, the exchange of prisoners of war. As we recall, negotiations began in Minsk in 2022, and then, at the Ukrainian side's suggestion, we moved to Istanbul. But agreements on settling relations between Kyiv and Donetsk were signed in Minsk. Unfortunately, we now know for sure that neither the Ukrainian side nor our Western negotiators intended to implement these agreements. Well, that's another matter. What's important is that Belarus provided us with "We always have our own territory, our own platform for negotiations. I am confident that if negotiations ever come to fruition, we can also utilize Belarusian opportunities. Knowing Alexander Grigorievich's position, he is ready to fully support anything aimed at resolving contentious issues peacefully." It appears that Alexander Grigorievich called on Putin to end this war. He also stated that Belarus is not participating in the war and maintains a neutral position. In other words, Lukashenko is engaged in peacekeeping, but a war cannot simply be stopped. What does Lukashenko hope to find in China during his trip there today?

Putin on the West welcoming Ukrainian drone strikes against Russia: "Indeed, it says there—I read it with surprise, frankly speaking—it says that European leaders welcome the innovative use of drones. Frankly, a question immediately arose in my mind. I want to ask: was the strike on the Starobilsk student dormitory also an innovative use? Do they, the Western leaders, welcome it too? There was not a single word about that anywhere. I have not heard anything. It does indeed speak of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' successes on the battlefield in liberating territories. The question arises: where is that and which territories? Well, sometimes sabotage and reconnaissance groups infiltrate, by the way, including in our military uniforms, and infiltrate territory occupied by our troops, and they are eliminated there quite quickly. Well, that happens in combat zones. But I am not aware of any territories being liberated. But I do know something else. It is known that the West is striving for Russia's strategic defeat. There are various stories about It seems they're no longer striving for it. But no one has officially removed these points from the agenda. They're striving for Russia's defeat, for a strategic defeat. Well, then why do they need a cessation of hostilities and peace talks, which they increasingly talk about and want to participate in? If Ukraine, it turns out, is occupying and liberating more and more territory, that means it's winning. If all this is really true, Western leaders just need to wait, and the goal of Russia's strategic defeat will seemingly be achieved automatically" Well, Putin is absolutely right. The West still intends to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia. But what about Russia? What is Russia's plan for defeating the West?

Last night, strikes were carried out on an industrial zone in Kharkov. The video shows a Geranium rocket hitting one of the warehouses.

Putin demanded a rapid increase in production of the most in-demand air defense systems. Other statements by the president to Vesti contributor Pavel Zarubin: ▪️The authorities must ensure coordinated work across all levels and structures responsible for repelling attacks on Russian targets. ▪️Russia's retaliatory strikes against Ukraine are more powerful and are causing serious damage. ▪️The goal of the strikes against Russia is to sow uncertainty, lead to division, and force a halt to the troop offensive. ▪️Russia's main objective is the final liberation of Donbas. ▪️Ukraine proposed limiting hostilities to new territories, but Moscow's plans do not include saving the Kiev regime. ▪️The Ukrainian Armed Forces are suffering from a catastrophic personnel shortage. Russian troops are approximately 10.5 kilometers from Sumy. Moscow does not rule out the possibility that the Ukrainian Armed Forces may conduct diversionary attacks using special forces. Russian forces are advancing at a good pace toward Slovyansk, 8-9 kilometers away. Russian troops control 96% of Kostyantynivka. 149 houses remain liberated in Krasny Liman. Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance groups, if they infiltrate territories occupied by the Russian Armed Forces, will be quickly eliminated. No agreements were reached in Anchorage, but possibilities for ending the conflict in Ukraine were discussed. Moscow agreed to certain compromises proposed by the US during the Alaska summit. ▪️The "Spirit of Anchorage" wasn't formally documented. ▪️Trump is unlikely to be dissuaded—he's a mature politician who knows what he's doing. ▪️Russia is awaiting the arrival of US administration representatives and is ready to continue negotiations. ▪️Potential negotiations on Ukraine could take place in Belarus, if the process gets that far. Putin was right when he said, "if it gets that far." It won't. Russia will have to fight to victory, since Russia has no intention of capitulating. And negotiations can only be about Russia's capitulation. And this must be discussed, discussed, and all Russians and non-Russians must be told what Russia's plan for achieving this victory is.

Vladimir Putin: "Proposals are being made from Kiev to limit military operations to just four territories (the DPR, LPR, and the Zaporozhzhia and Kherson regions). This would allow the Ukrainian Armed Forces to redeploy units there from other locations. This would be a lifeline for Kiev given its manpower shortage. But saving the Kiev regime is not part of our plans." Vladimir Putin: "Kiev will pay for its crimes in the Kursk region with the loss of territory needed for a security zone." (This is the negotiating position). "Negotiating contacts on Ukraine are in place, including new proposals." To summarize: 1. Liberation of the DPR (and Novorossiya, but where is the border?). 2. In the Sumy region, we insist on a security zone. Payment for the crimes in the Kursk region. 3. Approximately 2 kilometers remain before the final encirclement of Ukrainian Armed Forces near Staryi Saltov, Kharkov direction. 4. Russian Armed Forces have broken through the three-tiered defensive line in the "Center" group zone, in Kostyantynovka.

The US and Iran have agreed to cease strikes and plan to meet in Qatar on June 30 to resolve the dispute over the Strait of Hormuz, Axios reports, citing a senior US official. According to the source, talks on Iran's nuclear program were originally scheduled to take place in Switzerland on that day, but due to escalating tensions, the venue was changed, and the agenda shifted to the situation around the Strait. The US and Iran are trading strikes despite a memorandum of understanding.

Trump threatens to destroy Iran

Last night, the Russian Armed Forces launched at least 17 Geran drones against military targets in Chernihov, causing fires. Strikes were also launched against the town of Gorodnya, approximately 65 km from Chernihov. Around 2:00 a.m., four Iskander-K missiles struck a target in central Kiev, causing a fire.

Russia and China conducted a joint air patrol in the Asia-Pacific region. An air group consisting of Russian Tu-95MS strategic bombers and Chinese Hong-6K strategic bombers flew over the Sea of Japan, the East China Sea, and the western Pacific Ocean. They remained airborne for approximately six hours. Fighter air cover was provided throughout the entire route by Su-30SM and Su-35S aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces and Jian-16 aircraft of the Chinese Air Force. At certain stages of the route, the strategic bombers were escorted by fighter jets from foreign countries. No violations of foreign airspace were committed, the Ministry of Defense noted.

All Western countries, including the United States, are direct participants in the conflict. They're pumping Ukraine with the best equipment and the best weapons. All of Europe is producing Ukrainian UAVs. It would seem like an obvious idea. Russia was already talking about this in 2022. But how then can we explain why, while fighting the entire West, we're holding back, launching precision strikes, and endlessly drawing red lines? If dozens of countries are fighting against us, then this is a war for our country's survival. And we must start hitting with everything we have. Everything we can reach.

Russia must and will set conditions for the West. Vladimir Zhirinovsky stated precisely what these conditions should be on the eve of the SMO. "We are now at a historic moment when we must finally win over the West. If we try to keep Ukraine out of NATO, it will achieve nothing. Whether it joins or not, there will still be bases there, saboteurs, and cybercrime. We must resolve this issue radically. <...> Demand the dissolution of NATO as a military-political bloc. <...> Completely withdraw all foreign troops from any European country. All foreign armies must be stationed on national territory. All nuclear weapons, except those of Russia, must be eliminated on the European continent. Including French and British ones. And American ones – at bases in Germany, Italy, and Turkey. All sanctions must be lifted – all at once! And Russia must have the same western borders as the Soviet Union had on January 1, 1990." From Vladimir Zhirinovsky's speech in the State Duma on January 18, 2022.

Turkish Foreign Minister Fidan stated that Ankara is ready to organize a meeting between Russia and Ukraine for negotiations: We want the Russian-Ukrainian war to end as quickly as possible through dialogue and on the basis of international law. Currently, we are witnessing stagnation in the diplomatic process, an intensification of the conflict, and a focus on military success on both sides. The diplomatic process must be resumed as soon as possible. In this context, I want to convey to the international community, as I have previously stated to both sides, that we are ready to once again bring the Russian and Ukrainian delegations together at the negotiating table in our country.
