Schijnt dat ze ook veel POWS hebben genomen die uit de voertuigen kwamen (VDV). Interessant dat na al die weken aanvallen de Russen dus nog niet eens het oostelijke gedeelte hebbben kunnen innemen ten oosten van het kanaal.

Iedereen heeft het over die vermeende Russische overmacht, omdat de Oekra�ners bijna geen munitie meer hebben. Maar de Russen krijgen desondanks de laatste maanden maar verrekte weinig voor elkaar, op de verrassende inname van Orcheretyne na.

Georgian president vetoes ‘foreign agents’ bill after widespread opposition

Georgia’s President Salome Zourabichvili has vetoed a controversial “foreign agents” bill that sparked weeks of widespread protests across the country.

Zourabichvili had previously vowed to torpedo the bill, but her veto could still be overruled by a simple majority in parliament, which approved the bill on Tuesday with 84 lawmakers voting in favor and 30 against.

The divisive legislation would require organizations receiving more than 20% of their funding from abroad to register as “agents of foreign influence” or face a fine. Opponents say the bill was modeled after similar laws in Russia that the Kremlin has used to snuff out opposition and civil society.

“This law, in its essence and spirit, is fundamentally Russian, contradicting our constitution and all European standards,” President Zourabichvili said after vetoing the bill on Saturday.

She said the bill must be repealed, suggesting it could prevent the country from joining the European Union. The EU had given similar warnings.

Georgia applied for EU membership in 2022 and was granted candidate status in December, a move seen as an effort to reverse the former Soviet republic’s drift toward Russia.

Georgia has long been caught between Russia and the West. Despite gaining independence from the Soviet Union in 1991 and polls showing that an estimated 80% of Georgians want to join the EU, its history with Moscow is hobbling its relationship with Europe.

Georgia’s stance towards Russia is decidedly mixed. The two countries have had no formal diplomatic relations since Russia invaded Georgia in 2008 – but Russians living and working there enjoy lax visa requirements, making it an easy choice for those who fled from Russia’s conscription into the war in Ukraine.

Uzbeks who committed violations in Russia were advised not to go to Kazakhstan
The Foreign Labor Migration Agency under the Ministry of Employment and Labor Relations of Uzbekistan advises Uzbeks who have committed crimes on the territory of Russia and returned to their homeland not to go to Kazakhstan .

The agency reminds that on the basis of the bilateral agreements of the governments of Kazakhstan and Russia on the recognition and enforcement of decisions on administrative and criminal cases, a new system has been introduced in the border and internal affairs system of Kazakhstan, as a result of which the citizens of Uzbekistan who have recently committed offenses on the territory of Russia have been detained while crossing the border of Kazakhstan. noted that cases of withdrawal are being observed.

" Arrested persons are being held in penal institutions until the Russian side makes a final decision on these violations ," the agency warned, advising Uzbek migrants who committed violations in Russia not to go to Kazakhstan.

Earlier, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Uzbekistan also advised Uzbeks to carry all necessary documents with them when entering and leaving Kazakhstan.

"When crossing the border of Uzbekistan-Kazakhstan or Russia-Kazakhstan, it is necessary to make sure in advance that there are no obstacles to entering not only Kazakhstan, but also the Russian Federation, because in accordance with the agreements between Russia and Kazakhstan on mutual recognition and enforcement of decisions on administrative and criminal cases, Kazakhstan's competent authorities will investigate violations of migration and other legal documents of the Russian Federation or the presence of unpaid fines ," the MFA said in the appeal.

According to the ministry, if a violation or an unpaid fine is detected during the stay in the Russian Federation, the Kazakh side may decide to ban the entry or exit of the citizen of Uzbekistan to Kazakhstan.

Estonian Prime Minister explains why Ukraine has not received sufficient support
Kaja Kallas, Prime Minister of Estonia, has said she believes that fear stands in the way of more support for Ukraine from the rest of the free world.

Source: Kaja Kallas during a discussion on support for Ukraine as part of the Lennart Meri conference, as reported by ERR

Details: Kallas was asked what is preventing the free world from supporting Ukraine more.

"We are held back by fear. Countries have different fears, whether the nuclear fear, the fear of escalation, or the fear of migration. We must not fall into the trap of fear, because that is exactly what Putin wants. He wants us to be afraid and not support Ukraine out of fear," Kallas replied.

"We will act decisively and stop our adversaries from dictating our future," she added.

Kallas also stressed that Ukraine’s allies have to support it for as long as it takes.

"This means that we have to help Ukraine push Russia back to its borders. We have to continue imposing sanctions until Ukraine’s territorial integrity is restored.

The aggressor has to fully pay for the damage they have caused and all those guilty, including the Russian leadership, must be held responsible. The end of grey zones is what Europe needs, and this means that Ukraine has to join the EU and NATO," Kallas said.

Background:
• Earlier, Kaja Kallas, Prime Minister of Estonia, has said that Russian leader Vladimir Putin wants to use the threat of mass migration to divide and weaken Europe’s support for Ukraine.
• Over the course of the next four years, Estonia will continue committing 0.25% of its GDP to military aid for Ukraine.

Nato’s failure to save Ukraine raises an existential question: what on earth is it for?
The military alliance is turning 75. But there’s little to celebrate in Kyiv, as Putin’s forces continue their bloody advance

Nato’s grand 75th birthday celebration in Washington in July will ring hollow in Kyiv. The alliance has miserably failed its biggest post-cold war test – the battle for Ukraine. Sadly, there’s no denying it: Vladimir Putin is on a roll.

Advancing Russian forces in Kharkiv profit from the west’s culpably slow drip-feed of weaponry to Kyiv and its leaders’ chronic fear of escalation. Ukraine receives just enough support to survive, never to prevail. Now even bare survival is in doubt.

Ukraine is Europe’s fight. It’s freedom’s global fight, Joe Biden says – a fight for democracy. “Our support cannot and will not falter. Britain is with you for as long as it takes,” Rishi Sunak vows. Yet, on the ground, Ukraine is mostly left to fight alone.

Nato should have intervened robustly to deter Russia’s aggression right from the start, as repeatedly urged here. No-fly zones could have prevented thousands of civilian casualties and limited damage to Ukraine’s cities.
