Every Dollar Counts. To Pay for the War, Ukraine Embraces Privatization
The government hopes to sell off a range of companies to fund the military and stabilize the economy as the grueling conflict with Russia drains its coffers.

^{The Hotel Ukraine, which towers over the center of Kyiv, is up for sale for $25 million as part of a government privatization drive.}

Towering over Kyiv for six decades, Hotel Ukraine has witnessed some pivotal moments in Ukraine’s recent history.

Crowds gathered on the square in front of the 14-story hotel to celebrate the fall of the Soviet Union. Popular uprisings on what was later called Independence Square toppled Ukrainian leaders. Today, blue and yellow flags cover lawns near the hotel, serving as a reminder of the many lives lost in the war between Ukraine and Russia.

Now, Hotel Ukraine is up for auction as part of an effort to sell off some large state assets to help fund the military and bolster an economy battered by a grueling war that has drained the country’s coffers. The starting price for Hotel Ukraine is $25 million.

Afghan man stabs Ukrainian woman in Frankfurt
A 19-year-old Afghan man attacked a 41-year-old Ukrainian woman with a knife in Frankfurt am Main on June 10, seriously injuring her, the German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine reported on June 11.

A woman was sitting on a park bench near the river when the attacker quietly approached her from behind, grabbed her shoulder, and stabbed her several times in the head and neck, according to police.

Although the woman managed to break free and run away, the man chased her and continued to stab her. He only stopped when passersby noticed the attack.

Police quickly apprehended and arrested the attacker near the scene. The Frankfurt District Court issued a warrant for his arrest, charging him with attempted murder and grievous bodily harm.

The victim had no prior relationship with the assailant, and the motives for the attack remain unknown.

This follows an earlier report by German police that two Ukrainian citizens, aged 36 and 23, were killed in Germany on the evening of April 27. A 57-year-old Russian man was arrested on suspicion of murder.

Abducted Ukrainian Kids Found on Russian Adoption Site: Report
Four Ukrainian children who were taken into Russia in the early days of Moscow’s full-scale invasion have been found listed for adoption on a Russian website—with no mention of them being Ukrainian, according to a new report. The Financial Times reports that the children, aged 8 to 15, are all listed in Ukraine’s database of missing kids. But on the Russian adoption site, one of them has been given a new name and a different age, and none of the kids are described as being from Ukraine. While they were apparently taken from state children’s homes in occupied territories of Ukraine, all four of them still have relatives and guardians in the country. Family members reportedly had no idea of their whereabouts and declined to comment to the FT for fear of jeopardizing the children’s return home. Earlier this month, The New York Times reported that 46 kids living in a children’s home in Ukraine’s occupied Kherson region were taken to Russia by Russian officials who then gave the children Russian citizenship. The Financial Times reports that it found 17 of those children on the Russian adoption site.

Details: The Russians reported that Yatseniuk’s assets nationalised in Crimea include an educational building, a garage, and a large plot of land in the city of Yalta, Vladimir Konstantinov, Russian-installed "head" of the Crimean parliament, told RIA Novosti.

The "nationalisation" also targeted Jamala's property. The Russians said movable and immovable property, as well as two land plots in the settlement of Alushta, had been seized.

In addition, a flat belonging to the family of politician Vitalii Khomutynnik, a former member of the pro-Russian Party of Regions and co-chairman of the Renaissance group in the Ukrainian parliament, has been "nationalised" in the village of Livadiia on the southern coast of Crimea.

Property belonging to the family of former Ukrainian MP Lidiia Koteliak (the Fatherland party), the Dolphin Therapy Centre in Alushta (its beneficiary is a member of the Brovary District Council of Kyiv Oblast), assets belonging to the Kyivmiskbud company, and the Porto Mare Park Hotel (founded by Ukrainian citizen Vadym Vaispapir) have also been seized.

Property belonging to the private company Yalta Film Studio, the Bristol Hotel in Yalta, and Platinum Bank have also been "nationalised" by the Russian occupying authorities.

At least seven people have been killed and 20 others injured after a Russian missile strike on the central Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, the regional prosecutor's office said on June 12.

An explosion was initially reported in the city by Kryvyi Rih mayor Oleksandr Vilkul at 3:51 p.m.

Soon after, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast governor Serhii Lysak reported that a missile had struck a residential area in the city.

No further details on the missile used or the victims have been disclosed so far.

"My condolences to the families and loved ones of the victims," President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a post on Telegram.

We have received permission to use Western weapons on the territory of the Russian Federation.
As for me, it is still very strange that we are defending ourselves, and still have to ask someone for permission to beat the enemy on the approaches to the borders.
It reminds me of the days of the anti-terrorist operation in 2016.
But not about that.

Haimars destroyed 4 S300 installations that launched missile strikes on Kharkiv, so now they do not risk driving up and shortening the distance to work around the city.
Air defense forces are hunting for planes that bomb Kharkiv with Kabami, and we can see last week that bombs only reach the ring road, but there are still victims, so it would be good to shoot down one or two planes.

We can also see a shortage of heavy equipment in the Kharkiv direction.
When they advanced on Liptsy, the assault and anchoring took place completely without equipment. Pure meat.
At Volchansky, they used equipment, but the Armed Forces successfully disposed of it.

I don't want to say "victory in 2-3 weeks".
And about tangible progress on our part.
And this also affects Kharkiv, which has become more protected.

🇷🇺 The other day, pods from a drone dropped flags on the house, presenting it as the capture of the entire village.

📋 Unfortunately, the Defense Forces have to prepare for the fact that sooner or later the enemy will enter the northern outskirts as well. The loss of a village with farms in the north will significantly worsen the tactical situation of the defenders of Urozhany. The latter is periodically stormed by the enemy, there were even breakthroughs into the center of the village, but they managed to be eliminated.

😎 For public attention, we want to share the publication of one of the fighters in that area. Due to the strange and quite probably unprofessional actions of the command of the 1st OTBr of the Defense Forces, they lost more than 15 square kilometers of territories that were so hard to gnaw away a year ago by the marines with the Teroboronov.

👤 From the words of the fighter:
As a result we have the following:
The defense of the legal flank has failed. The person in charge of defense was promoted;
The defense of Staromayorsky failed. The village is under the control of the enemy [ed. - actually everything]. Fighters who were surrounded in the village. They are not taken out, but they report to Kyiv that everything is under control;
The commander of the 1st tank brigade, who was responsible for the defense sector in general, Khoda L.O., is being promoted to OK "Zahid", to the position of general;

Volg hier de laatste ontwikkelingen in de Oekraïne-oorlog.

NAVO neemt inzamelen wapens voor Oekraïne van lidstaten over: 'Een sleutelelement'

De NAVO neemt de leiding over het inzamelen van wapens en het trainen van Oekraïense militairen, verwacht NAVO-chef Jens Stoltenberg.
Dat vergemakkelijkt die assistentie en verzekert Oekraïne dat het ook op de lange duur op de NAVO kan blijven rekenen.

De westerse militaire alliantie was aanvankelijk huiverig om de coördinatie en planning van de hulp aan Oekraïne naar zich toe te trekken.

De NAVO liet dat liever aan de lidstaten over, om te voorkomen dat het bondgenootschap zelf in de oorlog zou worden meegetrokken. Maar dat is veranderd nu de nood van Oekraïne zo mogelijk nog hoger is geworden en de angst voor escalatie is afgenomen.

De defensieministers van de NAVO-landen zullen de plannen volgens Stoltenberg donderdag goedkeuren als ze bijeen zijn op het hoofdkwartier in Brussel.

Russia Has Used Cluster Warhead Missiles in Tonight’s Massive Night Assault on Ukraine
During the massive shelling of Ukraine on the night of June 12, the Russian army used Kh-101 missiles with a cluster muniotion warhead for the first time since the beginning of the full-scale invasion.

On the night of June 12, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation attacked several Ukrainian cities with missiles and Shahed-type drones. Ukrainian Air Force Commander, Mykola Oleshchuk, reported the mobilization of anti-aircraft missile units, mobile fire groups, and electronic warfare assets from the Ukrainian Defense Forces to counter the aerial assault.

Russia’s arsenal for the attack comprised four Kh-101/Kh-555 cruise missiles launched from Tu-95MS strategic bombers in Saratov Region, an Iskander-M ballistic missile fired from Crimea, a Kh-47M2 “Kinzhal” aeroballistic missile from Tambov Region airspace, and 24 Shahed-131/136 combat UAVs launched from Yeysk and Primorsko-Akhtarsk in Russia.

On 12 June, falling debris caused damage to civilian properties in the capital, and an industrial site in Kyiv Region caught fire. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy praised collaborative defense efforts, stressing the importance of resilience in saving lives. In Dnipropetrovsk Region, a drone strike resulted in injuries and damage, highlighting the ongoing threat.

Concerns mount over potential electricity outages for Ukrainian residents in the coming winter months due to attacks on energy facilities.

US Unveils Sweeping Sanctions Targeting Russia Over Ukraine War
The United States announced a raft of new sanctions Wednesday aimed at constraining Moscow's war in Ukraine while raising the stakes for foreign banks that still deal with Russia, ahead of G7 talks.

The Treasury Department and State Department's sanctions hit more than 300 targets, including entities in Russia and in countries like China, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates.

Those designated include the Moscow Exchange and several subsidiaries, a move set to complicate billions of dollars in transactions, as well as entities involved in liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects.

"Today's actions strike at their remaining avenues for international materials and equipment, including their reliance on critical supplies from third countries," said Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.

"We are increasing the risk for financial institutions dealing with Russia's war economy and eliminating paths for evasion, and diminishing Russia's ability to benefit from access to foreign technology, equipment, software, and IT services," she added.

Putin retires top ‘hawk’ over unrealistic strategies

Russian dictator Vladimir Putin realized the war strategy against Ukraine proposed by the “Russian hawks” is unrealistic, according to Russian political scientist Abbas Gallamov in an interview with Radio NV on June 10.

Even Putin realized that the hawks are offering him a completely unrealistic strategy," Gallamov said.

"That's why the main hawk of Russian politics, Nikolai Patrushev, Former Security Council chief, was actually retired by Putin a month ago. He was offered position of presidential aide in charge of shipbuilding. This is actually a pension."

According to the political scientist, Russian establishment is now strengthening positions of “technocrats” who would like to end the war by agreeing to “get something so that it does not turn out that we fought in vain” and gradually minimize sanctions.

At G7, Biden and Zelenskyy will sign a U.S.-Ukraine security agreement
ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE (AP) — President Joe Biden and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will sign a bilateral security agreement between the U.S. and Ukraine on Thursday when they meet on the sidelines of the Group of Seven summit in Italy, aiming to send a signal to Russia of American resolve in supporting Kyiv, the White House said as Biden was headed to Europe.

National security adviser Jake Sullivan said the agreement would not commit U.S. troops directly to Ukraine’s defense against Russia’s invasion — a red line drawn by Biden, who’s fearful of being pulled into direct conflict between the nuclear-armed powers. Announcement of the agreement comes as Biden heads to the summit of the world’s leading democracies with an urgency to get big things done, including turning frozen Russian assets into billions of dollars to help Ukraine fight Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war machine.

“We want to demonstrate that the U.S. supports the people of Ukraine, that we stand with them and that we’ll continue to help address their security needs,” Sullivan said, adding “this agreement will show our resolve.”

Russia Introduces “Pigeon” Drone Bomber

The Russian defense complex developed the Golub (Pigeon – ed.) quadcopter bomber, which is capable of carrying a large number of grenades.

The new strike drone was presented at the HeliRussia-2024 exhibition in Moscow. It’s claimed that the drone has already been tested in the war against Ukraine.

The Stratim company stated that the drone bomber is capable of carrying revolver-type systems that are capable of dropping 12 VOG-17 grenades or one 82mm mortar rounds.

According to the developers, the Golub drone is capable of delivering cargo weighing up to 10 kilograms.

“Over short distances [it] can carry up to 7-10 kg. Cruising speed – 40 km/h,” the developers said.

Netherlands to supply first Dutch-built CV90 IFVs to Ukraine in 2026
PARIS — The Netherlands will deliver the first Dutch-built and financed BAE Systems CV90 infantry fighting vehicles to Ukraine in 2026, the Dutch Ministry of Defence said.

The Dutch are investing ¤400 million (U.S. $430 million) in a Swedish fund to build the CV90s for Ukraine, the government said June 7. That amount is the Dutch share and will pay for “several tens” of vehicles, Netherlands Ministry of Defence spokesman Kaj Leers told Defense News in an emailed reply to questions.

The Dutch government also agreed with Sweden to set up CV90 production in the Netherlands, and expects to partly produce at least 180 of the vehicles, according to Leers. Negotiations are ongoing for local firm Van Halteren Technologies and a “whole chain” of Dutch suppliers to handle “an important part” of production, he said.

The Netherlands is joining an initiative by Denmark and Sweden to provide Ukraine’s armed forces with modern armor to fight off Russia’s invasion. The CV90 is “just what is needed at the front,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a statement in August on the occasion of a visit to Stockholm, and Ukrainian soldiers have reportedly praised the Swedish IFV for its armor, heat-signature reducing camouflage and firepower.

Sweden and Denmark signed a joint declaration in December to send additional CV90s to Ukraine, after an initial Swedish donation of 50 vehicles last year. Ukraine and Sweden in February discussed terms and conditions for purchasing more of the vehicles.

Slovakia's defense minister has accused his predecessor of "treason" for sending fighter jets to Ukraine, and announced on June 12 he had filed a criminal complaint regarding the matter.

"Weakening the armed forces in this way, contrary to the constitution, cannot be described in our political dictionary as anything other than treason," Robert Kalinak said in comments reported by the Czech news outlet iROZHLAS.

"I don't know if it legally constitutes a crime, but he is a person who betrayed national values."

Kalinak was taking aim at his predecessor, Jaroslav Nagy, who while serving as defense minister from March 2020 and May 2023, sent Ukraine several MiG-29 fighter jets to help the country fend off Russia's full-scale invasion.

At the time, Nagy said the Soviet-era fighter jets were "unusable" for his country and therefore it was "the right thing" to provide them to Ukraine.

The US will limit the supply of chips in the fight against circumvention of sanctions against Russia

According to the agency, the new sanctions involve the introduction of additional export licensing requirements for chip manufacturers and suppliers. Before each transaction, they will have to apply to the US Department of Commerce to obtain the appropriate license and ensure that the supply does not involve military use.

US authorities will also identify third-party suppliers and warn them about the ban on sending American chips to Russia, the source clarifies.

Most microelectronics and chip companies that continue to cooperate with Russia are based in China, according to Bloomberg sources. Last year alone, Russia imported more than $1 billion worth of advanced chips that could likely be used to build missiles and other critical military equipment, according to the agency.

According to the same sources, Washington plans to blacklist eight companies based in Hong Kong that are suspected of supplying chips to Russia.

Let us recall that earlier, a member of the German Bundestag from the CDU/CSU, Carsten Müller, said that the countries of the European Union need to work more intensively to identify companies, especially in third countries, that help Russia circumvent sanctions . In his opinion, it is necessary to sue companies that use this method of exporting their goods if they are really trying to circumvent sanctions.

Interrogation of 30 captured occupiers who were captured by the 3rd OShBr: "We were going to storm you on a UAZ." VIDEO
The 3rd separate assault brigade of the Armed Forces captured several large groups of Russian occupiers on their way to the Kharkiv region.

Journalist Tetyana Danylenko writes about this , Censor.NET informs .

"In theory, the brigade was supposed to recover there after 2 years of continuous stay in the worst points of the front. In reality, on the stretch where the 3rd OShbr was supposed to gain strength for new counterattacks, they are opposed by a very large group of the Russian army and every day in place of its 200th and 300th their adversary is bringing in new recruits.

The scale of the actions is also evidenced by the number of those taken prisoner - the media service of the 3rd OShbr is publishing interviews with 30 Russian servicemen at the same time," Danylenko notes.

The journalist draws attention to the fact that among the captured occupiers are not only contract workers, but mobs. Some of them received a summons in May 2024.

The Swedish Parliament calls for the transfer of Gripen aircraft to Ukraine
Western countries should give Ukraine everything it asks for, including Swedish Gripen aircraft.

Magnus Jacobson, member of the Swedish Parliament (Riksdag), a representative of the Christian Democratic Party, a member of the coalition, stated this in a commentary to Guildhall .

“My personal opinion remains the same. We must give Ukraine everything it asks for. I know that Ukraine is asking for Gripen aircraft, and I think that we should sell them to Ukraine. But if I understand correctly, the issue is a political decision. I don’t work in the government, I’m just a parliamentarian, but I noticed that now there is some kind of deal between Ukraine and its allies, within the framework of which Western countries want to supply F-16 aircraft as quickly as possible. While I'm proud of the Gripen, the F-16 is also a great airplane. We ( Sweden - ed. ), in turn, supplied Ukraine with two long-range radar detection aircraft ( Swedish ASC 890 aircraft, known as Saab 340AEW - ed. ). These are some of the best aircraft of this type in the world, which will give Ukraine very good eyes, the eyes of a hawk,” the politician noted.

“I am sure that Ukraine should receive everything - both F-16 and Gripen aircraft, but Sweden does not act as a separate player, we act in coordination with air defense coalitions for Ukraine within the European Union. So from the information that I received, I understood that we were asked to provide the radar system, and the partners would provide the F-16. But I hope that Sweden will someday supply Ukraine with Gripen aircraft, even if not now,” the Swedish parliamentarian concluded.

Let us recall that the deputy of the House of Representatives of the Belgian Parliament, the head of the commonwealth of Ukraine and Belgium, Georges Dalemany, also called on Western countries to speed up the supply of F16 to Ukraine . He noted that European countries, and in particular Belgium, realize that the front line in Europe is now in Ukraine. Therefore, it is extremely important to deliver F16 aircraft to Ukraine as quickly as possible.

Austria revoked accreditation of two Russian journalists
After a Russian journalist was expelled from Vienna, Moscow ordered the Austrian correspondent to leave Russia. Now it has become known that Austria deprived another TASS employee of her accreditation in April.

Austria has revoked the accreditation of two correspondents of the Russian news agency TASS in Vienna. The dpa agency learned about this on Tuesday, June 11, from the Austrian Ministry of the Interior. The day before, the Russian Foreign Ministry reported that the Austrian authorities ordered one TASS journalist, Ivan Popov, to leave the country.

However, according to the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Vienna, in April, “due to a negative assessment by the security authorities,” accreditation was taken away from another of his colleagues from TASS. More detailed reasons for this step were not given. The agency's statement indicates that the Russian news agency may register other journalists, who will also be subject to reliability checks by the Austrian authorities.

In response, the Russian Foreign Ministry revoked the accreditation of Maria Knieps-Witting, a journalist for the Austrian television company ORF in Moscow, demanding that she leave the country. The Austrian broadcaster called the decision incomprehensible . The country's Foreign Ministry also considered Moscow's retaliatory measures "completely unfounded."

The German Union of Journalists (DJV) said that the Russian Federation’s actions “have nothing to do with media freedom.”

The Viennese weekly newspaper Falter in March reported on the activities of Russian intelligence services in Vienna , also mentioning TASS employees. They, according to the secret dossier cited by the publication, “under journalistic cover” obtained information about the political circles of Austria, and one of the correspondents was an employee of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation.

Uniper terminates Russian gas supply contracts
• Formal end to gas supply relationship with Gazprom Export after positive ruling for Uniper in arbitration proceedings
• Arbitration tribunal has awarded Uniper the right to terminate its long-term gas supply contracts and an amount of more than ¤13 billion in damages for non-delivery of gas
• Uniper CEO Michael Lewis: “The ruling provides legal clarity for Uniper”

Uniper decided today to terminate its long-term Russian gas supply contracts and thus legally ended the long-term gas supply relationship with the Russian state-owned company Gazprom Export. The decision was made possible after an arbitration tribunal on June 7 awarded Uniper the right to terminate the contracts and awarded it an amount of more than ¤13 billion in damages for the gas volumes not supplied by Gazprom Export since mid-2022. Although only limited gas volumes had been delivered since June 2022 and no gas volumes since the end of August 2022, the long-term gas supply contracts between the two companies were still legally in force and individual contracts would have continued to exist until the mid-2030s.

After Uniper suffered substantial losses due to the Russian gas supply restrictions, the company initiated arbitration proceedings against Gazprom Export at the end of 2022. The option of dispute resolution via an arbitration tribunal was contractually agreed and had in the past in respect of other disputes been invoked repeatedly by both sides. The tribunal, seated in Stockholm, ruled in accordance with Swiss law. The arbitration ruling is legally binding and final.

41-year-old Olga Petersen recently left Germany with her children, moving to Russia. This did not prevent her from winning a mandate in local elections in Hamburg.

The Alternative for Germany candidate received 3,460 votes in Hamburg's Hausbruch district. These votes are enough for her to join the district assembly. To complete the count, a small number of mail-in ballots remain to be counted. The AfD believes that these ballots will not affect the final election result.

Olga Petersen, born in Omsk in 1982, recently left for Russia with three children, informing the school about it via email. Petersen claimed that the authorities planned to take her children away from her, although in fact she was only reprimanded about their behavior at school.

After leaving, Olga Petersen, who called the elections in Russia “open and free,” was expelled from the Hamburg parliament.

US sanctions pro-Russian Moldovan governor

The U.S. has imposed sanctions on Evghenia Gutul, the governor of Moldova's Gagauzia region, for her ties to pro-Russian oligarch and politician Ilan Shor, the U.S. Treasury announced on June 12.

Shor has been repeatedly accused of trying to destabilize Moldova, which he fled in 2019. He has been under U.S. sanctions since October 2022, as has his pro-Russian political party of the same name.

Gutul was elected governor of Gagauzia, an autonomous territory in southern Moldova that partly borders Ukraine's Odesa Oblast, in July 2023 as a Shor party candidate.

Gutul traveled to Russia in March 2024, where she was pictured shaking hands with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and attended the St. Petersburg Economic International Economic Forum in early June.

Moldova's Prime Minister Dorin Recean said he was "grateful for the U.S.'s commitment to support us in combating corruption and countering Kremlin interference."
