quote:Almost 130,000 Russian war crimes recorded in Ukraine, one every 10 minutes – Prosecutor General
On average, the Russians commit 150 crimes per day
Law enforcement officers have already documented almost 130,000 Russian war crimes in Ukraine, Prosecutor General Andriy Kostin announced during the Global Peace Summit.
"The world needs to hear such stories in order to understand the severity of the crimes that the aggressor commits every day on Ukrainian soil. To date, we have documented almost 130,000 war crimes," he said.
According to Kostin, on average, this means that the Russians are committing 150 war crimes per day – one every 10 minutes.
The official expressed hope that the Summit "will strengthen the efforts of the international community aimed at stopping these crimes", in particular, regarding the return of Ukrainian civilian adults and children from Russia.
The Prosecutor General reported that during the full-scale war, the Russian troops executed at least 61 Ukrainian prisoners of war, four Russians were indicted, and one court verdict was issued.
The interior minister informed that in Vovchansk, Kharkiv Oblast, the Russian military captured civilians, and the first executions of civilians by the invaders have already been reported.
The Prosecutor General's Office told LIGA.net that the former member of the terrorist group Wagner, who fled to Norway, was never charged by Ukrainian law enforcement officers.
Ik vind dat we het truukje van de jaren 90 niet moeten herhalen, Dat heeft ons de huidige situatie opgeleverd. Ik zeg: Laat Rusland maar kapot gaan.quote:Op maandag 17 juni 2024 13:59 schreef icecreamfarmer_NL het volgende:

Heel eerlijk. Ik zit niet te wachten op 33 deelrepublieken met allemaal eigen kernwapens en eventuele mafkezen aan de macht.
Het heeft een reden dat het Westen Rusland overeind hielt in de jaren 90. Dat vergeten veel Russen gemakshalve maar anders had het halve land een hongerdood gehad.
Wil niet zeggen dat die kliek uit het Kremlin moet en er verregaande hervormingen doorgevoerd moeten worden.

In total, 78 countries and four international organizations have now signed the document
Signatures under the joint communiqué of the Global Peace Summit were withdrawn by two countries – Iraq and Jordan, according to the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Switzerland.
On Sunday, during the event, a list of countries and international organizations (80 and 4, respectively) that had signed the final document was displayed on the screen. At that time, Iraq and Jordan were among them:
Now, on the website of the federal department of Switzerland, these two countries are not in the list of signatories.
Both countries have not yet commented on the situation. Both Jordan and Iraq were full participants at the Summit, not observers.
On June 13, the Minister of Foreign Affairs Dmytro Kuleba had a telephone conversation with the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates of Jordan Ayman Safadi. They discussed the peace formula and the country was invited to take part in its implementation.
On Saturday, during the Summit, Kuleba met with the Deputy Prime Minister, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Iraq Fuad Hussein. The top Ukrainian diplomat wrote that the parties agreed: "The summit is the first step on the way to achieving a just peace in Ukraine based on the principles of the UN Charter."
Armenia, Bahrain, Colombia, Qatar, India, Indonesia, Libya, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Thailand, United Arab Emirates also did not sign the communiqué. Brazil and the Vatican did not sign either, but they were observers at the event.
Later, the full text of the communiqué appeared: on nuclear and food security, release of prisoners. The text also talks about "engagement and dialogue between all parties" to achieve peace.
India said it did not associate itself with any communiqué or document emerging from the summit, asserting "only those options acceptable to both parties can lead to abiding peace".

Drone over the Russian Federation. The photo is illustrative.
On the night of June 17, drones attacked four Russian regions.
Local authorities and eyewitnesses stated this.
The Russian Federation stated that UAVs had been spotted in the Belgorod, Voronezh, and Lipetsk regions, as well as in the Krasnodar Krai.
The governor of Lipetsk region, Igor Artamonov, said that Russian air defense had allegedly shot down four drones over the industrial area of Lipetsk at night. He added that special services had been working at the crash site. No casualties reported.

MUNICH, Germany (AP) — UEFA wants to keep Russian flags out of the stadium when Ukraine plays its first European Championship game Monday after some were displayed in the stands at other matches.
UEFA said security staff will try to intercept and remove Russian flags from being displayed at the Munich stadium where Ukraine plays Romania on Monday afternoon in the Euro 2024 group stage.
Russian teams were banned by UEFA from international competitions within days of the full military invasion of Ukraine starting in February 2022.
Still, Russian citizens could try to buy tickets for Euro 2024 games. The national flag of white, red and blue horizontal bands has been displayed at some of the first group-stage matches, including in Munich last Friday next to Scotland flags at the opening game against Germany.
Several Russian flags also were seen among Serbia fans during their team’s game against England on Sunday in Gelsenkirchen. Serbia is one of Russia’s strongest traditional allies in Europe.
Many images of Jude Bellingham celebrating scoring the only goal of the game for England had Russian flags that could be clearly seen behind him in the Serbian end of the stadium.
German authorities previously said they only wanted to allow flags of the participating teams to be brought to stadiums and official fan zones broadcasting games on big screens in the 10 host cities. That was seen also as a protective measure to avoid likely provocations if Israeli and Palestinian flags were displayed.
UEFA also has disciplinary rules against political messages at stadiums and can punish teams if such are displayed by their fans.

Ik ben benieuwd hoe zij dit gaan doen. Technisch gezien zouden zij een blokkade op kunnen werpen in de Oost zee bijvoorbeeld, om Rusland de toegang te ontzeggen. Of in elk geval Russische olietankers tegen te houden.quote:Denmark developing measures to curb oil transport by Russia's shadow fleet
Danish Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen has announced that Denmark has started negotiations on putting an end to the transportation of Russian oil by its shadow fleet of tankers across the Baltic Sea.
Source: European Pravda, citing the minister's interview with Danish news outlet Information and Danwatch
Quote: "Denmark has gathered a group of countries to consider further measures against the shadow fleet. It is important that all new measures can be implemented in practice and are legally sustainable."
Details: Rasmussen did not elaborate on what the new measures would entail but added that he "takes the problem of the shadow fleet very seriously".
Outdated oil tankers make up Russia's so-called shadow fleet, which it uses to circumvent sanctions on oil exports.
The foreign minister noted that Denmark is engaged in a "confidential dialogue" with other Baltic Sea nations and the EU. Rasmussen did not disclose what countries would try to curb the shadow fleet.
Background:
• Earlier, the Group of Seven (G7) countries promised further restrictions to combat Russia's use of shadow fleets to circumvent their sanctions.
• Last week, the United Kingdom announced new sanctions against Russia, seeking to hamper its ability to wage war against Ukraine.
• Prior to that, media reports indicated that there were still disagreements among EU countries over measures targeting Russia's so-called "shadow fleet", which consists of semi-legal oil tankers.

Maar als zij inderdaad van plan zijn om de Krim aan te vallen en terug te veroveren dan is het ook een prima manier voor de Russen/Russische militairen om zich massaal terug te trekken naar Rusland toe.
Militair gezien misschien niet. Maar het is wel een prestige kindje van Putin natuurlijk. En het zou een vernedering zijn als hij vernietigd wordt.quote:Destruction of Kerch Bridge won't be as effective anymore, military says
Destroying the Kerch Bridge in occupied Crimea now would not have the same effect now because Russia barely uses it for military purposes anymore, Navy spokesperson Dmytro Pletenchuk said in an interview with RBC-Ukraine published on June 17.
The bridge connects the Russian mainland with the Russian-occupied Crimean peninsula and has long been a crucial supply route for the Russian military in Ukraine.
Construction on the 19-kilometer-long bridge began after the illegal 2014 annexation of Crimea and was completed in 2018.
It was heavily damaged in Ukrainian strikes in October 2022 and July 2023.
The bridge accounts for less than a quarter of the total transiting cargo, and for the rest, Russia uses a ferry crossing in Kerch, which the Ukrainian military struck in late May, Pletenchuk said.
"Therefore, this bridge is no longer of such tactical and strategic importance after the damage it sustained as a result of a joint operation by the SBU (Ukraine's Security Service) and the Navy with a drone attack," the spokesperson said.
The Ukrainian military has repeatedly said that the Kerch Bridge is a legitimate target and that Ukraine aims to destroy it.
An analysis of satellite imagery by investigative group Molfar, shared with The Independent in May, showed that over a three-month period this year, only one military freight train carrying around 55 fuel cars crossed the bridge.
Ukraine's military reported on a number of attacks against the peninsula in recent days, allegedly scoring successful hits against Russian S-300 and S-400 air defense systems.
Maar als zij inderdaad van plan zijn om de Krim aan te vallen en terug te veroveren dan is het ook een prima manier voor de Russen/Russische militairen om zich massaal terug te trekken naar Rusland toe.

Future Ukrainian F-16 pilots are taking an intensified training course in France on Alphajet jet trainers.
Details of the training of Ukrainian pilots were published in the report of the French edition of Le Monde.
Journalists of the publication became the first to be admitted to an unnamed air base located in southwestern France. It is there that a group of young Ukrainian pilots trains.
The French Air Force pledged to train 26 Ukrainian pilots in two years. However, according to the publication, there are currently only ten of them. Some of them have never flown, others have experience in piloting L-39 Albatros training aircraft.
After several months of preparation in the UK, in particular for learning English, in March this year a group of pilots arrived in France, where they began theoretical and practical training. Immediately upon arrival, they “were placed under the cap,” as the French officer put it. Even while reporting, they were barred from speaking to the press. Only their age was reported: from 21 to 23 years.
“Recruits are busy. Some, in the middle of the maps, are preparing to fly in a simulator, while a second group elsewhere, in the middle of the airfield, is preparing to take off on a two-seat plane with an instructor,” says a reporter at Le Monde.

quote:Ukraine hits 15 Russian air defense systems in occupied Crimea over past 2 months, military says
Ukrainian forces struck around 15 air defense systems in Russian-occupied Crimea over the past two months, Ukraine's Center for Strategic Communications (Stratcom) reported on June 17.
The Ukrainian military recently hit several S-300, S-350, and S-400 air defense systems, according to the statement. Ukraine also struck more than 15 radar stations and over 10 control centers stationed in Russian-occupied peninsula.
The military sites were located in Crimean settlements – Chornomorske, Tarkhankut, Yevpatoria, Saky, Donske, Belbek, Sevastopol, Alushta, Dzankoi, Mysove, and near Ai-Petri peak, according to the map published by Ukraine's Center for Strategic Communications.
Ukraine has carried out several successful attacks against Russian targets in occupied Crimea and its vicinity, heavily degrading the Russian Black Sea Fleet.
Air defense losses apparently made Moscow nervous enough to move the latest S-500 systems to the peninsula, Ukraine's Military Intelligence Chief Kyrylo Budanov said.
Russian officials have not commented on the claim.

The Drone Coalition raised ¤549 million for unmanned aerial vehicles in Ukraine.
Latvian Defense Minister Andris Sprūds said that 14 countries were officially included in the unmanned coalition.
“Latvia, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, Australia, Denmark, Estonia, Italy, France, Canada, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland, Germany and Sweden, and the Czech Republic are in the process of joining,” said Andris Sprūds.
At the same time, other countries can join the drone coalition. So far, members of the unmanned coalition have raised ¤549 million to transfer drones to Ukraine.
“This is more than 500 million, more precisely, ¤549 million, already promised by member states, partners within the framework of the drone coalition,” the minister said.

quote:Romania upgrades strategic air base for Ukrainian F-16 deployment
On June 11, Romanian Defence Minister Angel Tîlvăr announced extensive plans to expand and modernise the Mihail Kogălniceanu Air Base near the Ukrainian border. As noted by the news outlet Army Recognition, the official reason cited for this development is the perceived threat from the east. However, in the context of the situation in Ukraine, it may involve the deployment of F-16 fighters .
Positioned less than 200 kilometres from the Ukrainian border, the airbase has long been utilised for the stationing of U.S. forces and assets. Its strategic significance has grown since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. However, Romania began enhancing its capabilities even earlier, notably in response to the Russian invasion of Georgia in 2008 and the annexation of Crimea in 2014.
Colonel Nicolae Crețu, the base commander with the Romanian Air Force, stated that the project includes constructing a new runway, a watchtower, and additional hangars to protect both current and upcoming military assets. The total budget for the modernisation is set at ¤2.5 billion.

quote:All the Locations in Occupied Crimea Where Ukraine Has Successfully Destroyed Russian Air Defense Systems
It’s been reported throughout last few months that Ukraine is making efforts to weaken Russian air defense. But why?
Earlier this month, several outlets stated that Ukrainians are now able to strike targets on any location within Russian occupied Crimea with astonishing effect.
The total number of individually struck air defense systems is approximately 15. Specifically, divisions of air defense systems in the modifications of S-300, S-350, and S-400 have been affected; dozens of launcher units of these systems have been destroyed, along with over 15 radar stations and more than 10 command posts.
Here are all the locations within Russian-occupied Crimea where Ukrainian forces have successfully destroyed air defense systems from May to June 2024:
• Belbek
• Sevastopol
• Chornomorske
• Yevpatoriia
• Dzhankoi
• Tarkhankut
• Saky
• Donske
• Mysove
• Alushta
• mount Ai Petri
Analysts say the Ukrainian military is preparing to increase its reliance on air support for ground operations once enough Western fighter jets, including F-16s and Mirages, and therefore is targeting Russian air defense in order to secure the airspace.
