[Ron Paul Institute] The US government-affiliated Ukrainian web publication "Data Journalism Agency" (TEXTY) has just released a report attacking hundreds of prominent American individuals and organizations as enemies for not supporting sending more US money and weapons to Ukraine.
The report, titled "Roller Coaster: From Trumpists to Communists. The forces in the U.S. impeding aid to Ukraine and how they do it," intends to smear American politicians, journalists, and social media influencers as tools of Russia, writing:
Most of the people in our study do not have direct, proven ties to the Russian government or propagandists. However, the arguments they use to urge authorities to distance themselves from Ukraine echo key messages of Russian propaganda aimed at depriving Ukrainians of the ability to defend themselves with Western weapons and funds. (emphasis added)
Although the "enemies list" purports to correct disinformation about Ukraine spread by those on its list, the report itself is full of crude disinformation. For example this bit:

[LB] During the day, the number of combat clashes along the entire front line increased to 66.
by Ivanna Kapustyanska
The enemy is looking for ways to penetrate our defenses and try to push Ukrainian units out of the occupied borders. The number of combat engagements along the entire front line increased to 66.
This is stated in the summary of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
In the afternoon, the occupiers continued to terrorize Kharkiv Oblast with airstrikes from their territory. In particular, from the Belgorod region (Russian Federation), the aggressor made two strikes with twelve NARs on Ternovoy. During the day, the enemy unsuccessfully tried to attack three times near Vovchansk and Hlyboky.
In the Kupyan direction, the Defense Forces repelled eight enemy attacks. Two clashes are still ongoing. In the area of Stepova Novoselivka, the Russian aviation made two strikes with six anti-aircraft missiles.
As of this time, according to preliminary data, the losses of the occupiers in this direction amounted to: 62 people killed and wounded, three tanks, one armored combat vehicle and a unit of automobile equipment were destroyed.
In the Lyman direction, all nine assault attempts by the enemy were unsuccessful. Ukrainian soldiers control the situation.
In the Siverskyi direction, the enemy attacked the Defense Forces four times near Spirny, Ivano-Daryivka, and Verkhnyokamyanka. Also without success.
In the Kramatorsk direction, since the beginning of the day, Russian troops have tried five times to dislodge our units from their occupied positions. Ukrainian soldiers repulsed three assaults near Klishchiivka and Andriivka. Two more attacks continue near Novy and Ivanovsky.
On Pokrovsky, in the direction from the beginning of the day, the enemy attacked the Ukrainian defenders near Yevhenivka, Novooleksandrivka, Novopokrovsky, Karlivka, Yasnobrodivka, and Umansky 20 times. 17 assaults were unsuccessful. Three more enemy attacks are underway.
In the rest of the directions, the situation did not undergo significant changes.
However, the invaders did not cross the main line of defense of the Ukrainian defenders.
by Ivanna Kapustyanska
The situation around Chasov Yar remains tense. The Russian army is increasing the number of assaults in the Kramatorsk direction. The invaders are advancing alongside the main defense line of Chasov Yar, but have not crossed it.
This was stated by the spokesman of the "Khortytsia" OSUV, Nazar Voloshyn, in a comment to LIGA.ne t.
"Invaders are actively advancing to the east of it in this neighborhood," the message reads.
According to the spokesman, the video, which is being distributed on social networks, purporting to show the occupiers walking through the streets of Chasovoy Yar, was filmed in the "Kanal" microdistrict.
"The enemy is trying to carry out offensive actions on Chasiv Yar in the "Noviy" district and the "Kanal" microdistrict, as well as to storm the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the direction of Klishchiivka, Ivanivskyi, and Andriivka. During the attacks, the Russians use not only infantry units, but also armored vehicles and tanks" Voloshyn added.

Golubtsov also said that Ukraine will be presented with modernized F-16 fighters for the use of precision weapons.
10:35 The situation in the Sumy region is not the beginning of a Russian offensive, said the head of the Center for Countering Disinformation of the National Security and Defense Council Andrey Kovalenko.

09:59 The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) has calculated that the Ukrainian Armed Forces can hit only 16% of Russian territory with Western weapons.

DeepState analysts write that from 2022 to the present day, the situation in the village of Ryzhevka has remained unchanged - there was practically no Ukrainian Armed Forces there, and the village is a gray zone where Russian DRGs regularly entered. “Ryzhevka’s problem is geographical. The village is across the river and was actually a satellite of the village of Tetkino. There is no great practicality in sending forces there, because in this case it is necessary to control Tetkino as well,” says the DeepState message.

[Korrespondent] The Ukrainian Armed Forces are destroying Russian invaders around the clock.
The occupiers tried to improve the tactical situation near six settlements in the Pokrovsky direction.
Since the beginning of the day, 47 military clashes have occurred at the front. Traditionally, Russian aggressors are most active in the Pokrovsky direction, where the Ukrainian Armed Forces are currently repelling nine assaults, the General Staff reported in a report as of 15:00 on Monday, June 10.
"In the Pokrovsky direction, the Russian aggressor maintains a high intensity of assault operations. Since the beginning of the day, the occupiers have already tried 15 times to improve the tactical situation near Novoaleksandrivka, Evgenievka, Sokol, Novopokrovsky, Karlovka and Yasnobrodovka. Ukrainian soldiers have successfully repulsed six enemy attacks and are still ongoing – the message says.
There have already been seven clashes in the Kupyansk direction. The Russians attack with air support. Sinkovka was hit by 16 unguided aircraft missiles. Fighting continues in the areas of Stepnaya Novoselovka, Peschany and Berestovoy.

[Korrespondent] Ukrainian military controls most of Volchansk.
President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky said that the Russian army failed to implement the Khar'kov operation.
The Russian offensive in the Khar'kov region finally fizzled out. The window for a Russian breakthrough is narrowing, Bloomberg writes. Most of Volchansk, Khar'kov region, which suffered the main blow of the invaders, is controlled by the Ukrainian Defense Forces. THE SITUATION IN VOLCHANSK
“Most of the city is completely controlled by the Ukrainian Defense Forces, they keep the enemy under fire control and inflict maximum losses on him. We are trying to move forward to liberate all our territories,” said Nazar Voloshin, a representative of the OSGV Khortitsa, during the telethon.
Voloshin added that in the Khar'kov direction, the Ukrainian military is actively destroying the personnel and equipment of the invaders.
“Also in this direction, infantrymen of the 36th Marine Brigade recently captured several Russian military personnel. These were officers and several soldiers of the Russian army,” the speaker noted.
THERE WILL BE NO BUFFER ZONE
Bloomberg writes that Russia’s attempt to open a new front in the Khar'kov region “already looks unsuccessful,” since the goal of creating a buffer zone near the border could not be achieved, and Ukraine claims to have inflicted huge losses on the occupiers in the battles in the Volchansk region.
The head of the Moscow Center for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies, Ruslan Pukhov, told Bloomberg reporters that the Russian strategy of attrition of Ukraine's forces is “very expensive and bloody for the Russian army itself” and “could lead to excessive attrition on the Russian side, which, in turn, gives the Ukrainians a chance for a counterattack.”
On June 5, the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Alexander Syrsky, said in his Telegram channel that while Russia is attacking several points along the front line, “there are chances to change the situation in our favor.”
Journalists write that the war has largely reached a stalemate. Bloomberg recalled that while Ukrainian officials sounded the alarm about the possibility of a breakthrough by the Russian army during delays in US weapons deliveries, the Ukrainian military held the front line, despite the occupiers' 10 to one advantage in weapons.
NOT IN FAVOR OF RUSSIA
Russia's prospects for victory this year have been significantly diminished by renewed arms and aid supplies, Ben Barry, a senior fellow in the land war department at London's International Institute for Strategic Studies, told Bloomberg. “Russia may have more troops, but many of their top-notch armored vehicles have been destroyed and it will take years to rebuild the army to 2022 levels,” he added.
Although Russia also experiences problems with human resources. In December, the United States estimated the number of Russian military killed and wounded at 315,000, which was about 90% of the initial invasion force, Bloomberg recalls. The UK Ministry of Defense last week raised its estimate of total Russian casualties to 500,000 and said they amounted to 1,200 troops a day in May, the article also said.
“Russia has not translated its advantages on the battlefield into significant achievements because its commanders spend manpower on achieving their goals, and Ukrainian forces are effective in defense when they are provided with people and equipment,” said Dara Masikot, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for international peace.
“A very significant result is that the Russian army failed to implement its Khar'kov operation. We are now holding it back as much as possible, destroying the Russian units that are now entering our land and terrorizing the Khar'kov region. The direction has been strengthened, and there will be more reinforcements,” emphasized President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky.
Russian ministry of defense failed to post its news summary for June 10th, so we slummin.'

[REGNUM] Everyone who is well informed about the political kitchen of Ukraine, I think, will agree that, by analogy with the once famous formula of Vladimir Lenin about “three sources and three components of Marxism,” one can say about the three sources and components of power in today’s Ukraine. Although the Ukrainian constitution contains a ritual formula that the only source of power is the people, the people now have no time to rule: they are hiding from the military commissars.

[Regnum] A court in Moscow sentenced to life imprisonment thief in law Oleg Medvedev (known as Shishkan, Oleg Shishkanov, Oleg Ramensky), previously found guilty of occupying a high position in the criminal hierarchy, organizing a criminal community and a number of murders.
A court in Moscow sentenced crime boss Shishkan to life imprisonment
“Based on the totality of crimes, Medvedev will finally be sentenced to life imprisonment to be served in a special regime colony,” Judge Andrei Grinev read out the court ruling, as quoted by Izvestia.
The defendant was also sentenced to a fine of 5 million rubles. In addition, 17 of Medvedev’s accomplices, by court decision, received sentences ranging from suspended to life for murder, banditry and participation in an organized crime group.
As Regnum reported, at the end of May the state prosecution demanded that Shishkan be sentenced to life imprisonment. The Prosecutor General's Office demanded the same punishment for three members of his gang - Eduard Kharkov, Dmitry Khlamkin and Yuri Ofitserov. Prior to this, the jury returned a guilty verdict to a previously unconvicted crime boss and his accomplices.
According to investigators, Shishkan created a criminal community to commit serious and especially serious crimes. At the same time, there is evidence of the crimes of the organized crime group since 2010, but it could have operated before that. According to investigators, the crime boss and his accomplices were involved in murder, extortion, causing harm to health, as well as illegal storage of firearms and ammunition.
The gang, in addition to Shishkan, included 18 more people, and in 2012 they were accused of kidnapping and murdering Ramensky deputy Tatyana Sidorova and members of her family for refusing to give up the lands that belonged to her. The bodies of the dead were found near one of the dacha areas in the Ramensky district.
Medvedev was detained in 2019, after which he surrendered the remaining members of the organized crime group as part of a deal with the investigation. Shishkan was also accused under Article 210.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Occupying a higher position in the criminal hierarchy”), but he did not admit his guilt.

[Regnum] On the 80th anniversary of the start of the Vyborg-Petrozavodsk operation, the Central Archives of the Ministry of Defense, together with the Russian Military Historical Society, for the first time published archival documents dedicated to the offensive of Soviet troops in Karelia and on the Karelian Isthmus, the portal “History.RF” reported.
New documents reflect the course of events on the Soviet-Finnish front of the Great Patriotic War. The operation there began on June 10, 1944. Its goal was the defeat of Finland and the country's withdrawal from World War II, which occurred on September 19 of the same year.
“Published through the efforts of specialists from TsAMO RF and RVIO, the layer of documents contains operational directives from the headquarters of the Leningrad Front, orders of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the front commanders, combat orders, reports to the General Staff of the Red Army, operational reports, combat orders, etc.,” noted the RVIO.
A total of 35 documents were posted on the portal. They also contain data on the rewards of the participants in the operation. For example, about awarding the 18th Infantry Mginskaya Red Banner Division the Order of Suvorov II degree, and 17 other formations, including the 7th Zaporozhye Artillery Division and the Onega Military Flotilla, the Order of the Red Banner.
According to the scientific director of the Russian Military Historical Society Mikhail Myagkov, Soviet soldiers showed courage and heroism in breaking through enemy fortifications on the Karelian Isthmus in the Vyborg region, during the liberation of Petrozavodsk, Medvezhyegorsk and other settlements. He emphasized that the Headquarters of the Supreme High Command clearly and unequivocally prohibited the command of the Karelian and Leningrad fronts from crossing the 1941 borders, since the USSR did not intend to occupy Finland, but only wanted to take it out of the war.
As Regnum reported, in May the Russian FSB published archival documents confirming that US and French military personnel committed crimes against residents of occupied Berlin in 1945. In them, the head of the Berlin operational sector, Major General Alexei Sidnev, reported that cases of hooliganism, robbery and violence against Germans by American troops do not stop, and these facts are increasing daily. He pointed out that on October 21, two American soldiers stopped two Germans on Potsdamer Street who were returning home from work and asked for a light. Then, for no reason, they fired at the Germans, seriously wounding them both.
On the evening of September 27, the materials say, three French soldiers raped a resident of a Berlin suburb named Agnes and the girl Riess, who was in the house. After that, they beat the woman and left, taking 200 marks and a gold watch from her.
In April, the Office of the Federal Security Service in the Smolensk Region declassified archival documents about crimes committed by the Nazis in the region during the Great Patriotic War, including materials about the executions of Poles and the falsification of the “Katyn Affair” by the secret services of the Third Reich.

Finns think they won the Winter War.
Because losing a the good third of your country, your second-largest city and losing a naval base in the Baltic that the Russians used to keep your navy bottled up is totally a victory, guys.
It was just war propaganda that stuck. Kind of like how we grew up thinking Dunkirk was a great victory when it was anything but. Running away after getting your asses kicked and abandoning all your equipment isn't a victory anyway. Back then we didn't know Hitler declared a halt and let them escape anyway.

[Regnum] At the end of this summer, a general battle will take place in the conflict in Ukraine, after which hostilities will end. This opinion was expressed on June 10 by retired SBU Colonel Oleg Starikov in an interview with journalist Alexander Shelest (an individual recognized as a foreign agent in the Russian Federation).
“From a military point of view, the main operation, the strategic operation <...> some kind of final operation, the final battle - this will be August-September,” he said.
According to the expert, he predicts this scenario based on military analysis. Starikov noted that, in his opinion, political scientists have the same opinion.
As Regnum reported, earlier on June 10, the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, said that the situation on the front in the DPR is currently the most difficult for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. He also stated that the Ukrainian army is doing everything possible to stabilize and protect its positions.
The American edition of The New Yorker wrote on May 28 that due to the advance of the Russian Armed Forces and the lack of reserves, the position of the Ukrainian troops could worsen significantly in the summer. As experts interviewed by the publication noted, American military assistance will help Kyiv survive 2024, but will not solve the issue of manpower shortage in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The official representative of the Ministry of Defense, Lieutenant General Igor Konashenkov, reported on June 10 that the Russian military had completely liberated the village of Staromayorskoye in the DPR from the Armed Forces of Ukraine. He clarified that Ukrainian troops in this direction lost up to 140 soldiers, two vehicles, a British FH-70 howitzer, a D-20 gun and a D-30 howitzer per day.

[Regnum] A court in Moscow, as part of the criminal case of the former commander of the 58th Army, Major General Ivan Popov, accused of embezzlement, decided to arrest a new defendant, Kommersant reported on June 10.
According to the publication, law enforcement agencies announced the arrest of a new defendant for two months. His identity was not disclosed. It is known that he was charged with the same charges as Popov.
There is no official information about the arrest of another person involved in the case.
As Regnum reported, Popov has been under arrest since May 17. He was accused of stealing more than 1.7 thousand tons of metal structures purchased to create a defense line in the Zaporozhye region. The former commander of the 58th Combined Arms Army denies any guilt.
On June 7, the 2nd Western District Military Court considered an appeal to change the preventive measure for Popov to house arrest. In addition to the defense, the prosecution also supported this, since he gave incriminating evidence against other participants in the theft. Nevertheless, the court left the accused in custody.
Popov’s father, in a conversation with IA Regnum, declared his son’s innocence. In his opinion, ill-wishers “dug” under the ex-commander of the 58th Army and set him up.
