Gudkov believes that Putin has lost the war/Channel 24 Collage

Back in 2014, Putin annexed Crimea and occupied part of the Lugansk and Donetsk regions. In 2022, the head of the Kremlin launched a full-scale war against Ukraine, and in doing so, he made a big mistake. Now the West is doing everything to achieve the victory of Ukraine, and Putin, obviously, has already lost the war.

Russian opposition politician Gennady Gudkov told Channel 24 about this. He says that even earlier, in 2010, he said that Russia was on the verge of repression, a sharp deterioration in the situation, and as a result, everything would end in a war.

According to him, some in Russia, even then they understood that a war would definitely be unleashed. Journalists then asked him: “What kind of war? With whom to fight? Not with Ukraine,” and they joked.

It is quite clear that a dictatorial regime always ends badly – with blood, wars, poverty. The people always take the rap for the dictator to the fullest,” the politician said.

For Gudkov, it was no surprise that Russia's war against Ukraine had now begun. He understood that Putin would not leave so easily, something would happen.

“But I did not expect such nonsense that it would be a full-scale invasion from all sides, I thought that the blow would be on South of Ukraine from the sea. But over the years, the authorities have been very stupid that they thought to seize Ukraine in three days“, the politician says.

But, in his opinion, the offensive power, the level of aggression and the madness of the Russian political leadership should not be underestimated. >

Rocket attacks and bombings continue now. But Gudkov is convinced that Putin lost the war.

And not only because Ukraine has shown courage and freedom and is ready to fight , but also because the West has cut off its retreat for the last week and a half. The West has declared a war to win, it has nowhere to retreat, the politician explained.

According to him, therefore, both the EU and the leaders of Great Britain, the United States will do everything to achieve this (Ukraine's victory) .

“And this is the main conditional collapse of Putinism. I am convinced that this is the” burning of bridges “by the West on the way of Ukraine's military victory and the de-occupation of its territory will be resolved in the coming months,” he added .

Gudkov about helping the West and Putin's lost war:

Zelensky confirmed that he will take part in the G7 summit on June 27/OP

Vladimir Zelensky has been appearing at various summits for 5 months now to call for support and assistance to Ukraine from the whole world. So, it became known that on June 27 he will take part in the G7 summit.

Zelensky will take part in the G7 summit

The president expressed such information during the traditional evening address. He did this on the 122nd day, the beginning of the 5th month, of a full-scale war between Russia and Ukraine.

On Monday I will participate in the G7 summit. A NATO summit will also take place this week,” Zelensky confirmed.

He added that 45 missiles were fired at the cities of Ukraine in half a day, and this was done just on the eve of such meetings. Therefore, everything is clear.

According to him, this is another proof of our position. Confirmation that sanctions against Russia are not enough, more armed assistance is needed for Ukraine.

The head of state also stressed that air defense systems – modern systems that our partners have – should not be at training grounds or at storage, but in Ukraine, where they are needed now. More are needed than in any other place in the world.

Piontkovsky about Lukashenko/Collage of Channel 24

Putin continues to try to put pressure on Lukashenka to involve him in the war against Ukraine. In particular, Russia once again staged provocations for Belarus. However, Lukashenka continues to rely on and, probably, will be able to avoid his participation in the war.

Russian publicist Andrei Piontkovsky told Channel 24 about this. He says that Vladimir Putin and even Boris Yeltsin tried for 30 years to drag Alexander Lukashenko, if not into the war, then into Russia.

But, as the expert stressed, the Belarusian self-proclaimed president desperately resisted, deceived them for 30 years and did not want to become the “Secretary of the Minsk Glavkom”.

He has a lot of practice and experience in cheating. My conclusion is that Lukashenka is spinning, he is a Belarusian rat and will be able to spin, because sending an army to Ukraine is mortally dangerous, Piontkovsky believes.

According to him, Putin insisted when it was more urgent, and his troops were near Kyiv.

“I don't know what Lukashenka can do now, when the entire Russian army is closed in hard battles in the Donbass. Therefore, he is winding,” the publicist replied.

How will Lukashenka get out of this situation? According to Piontkovsky, Lukashenka looks at the general political context:

• he sees Tokaev talking to Putin (we are talking about the President of Kazakhstan, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev),
• he sees Lithuania boldly escalating the conflict,
• he sees what the Pentagon said after the Russian Foreign Ministry's statement regarding Lithuania.

It becomes more and more clear that Putin's show-offs are no longer taken seriously, this is a losing country. And Lukashenka sees this too. Why would he associate himself with the losing side at the last moment? the expert asks.

Piontkovsky on pressure on Lukashenka from Russia:

The threat of offensive from Belarus: in short

• Earlier, the General Staff reported that Russian officers were training the Belarusian military during the exercises. The main directions are reconnaissance and sabotage. According to media reports, the Belarusian military is actively digging trenches not only near the borders with Ukraine, but also near the borders with Poland and Lithuania.
• Ukrainian intelligence notes that Belarusian troops can attack Ukraine only as part of Russian-Belarusian group. There are no better strike forces, but Russia can return its troops back to Belarus.
• Intelligence says that large-scale missile attacks on Ukrainian territory on June 25 are precisely an attempt to draw Belarus into a war against Ukraine.
• Besides, according to Belarusian telegram channels, the Russians have started to take ammunition out of Belarus.

The President commented on the massive enemy shelling of Ukrainian cities/Office of the President

On June 25, Russian invaders fired 45 missiles at Ukrainian cities. The invaders want to show that they can put the squeeze on the Ukrainians, but they will never be able to do this.

President Volodymyr Zelensky said this during his evening address, Channel 24 reports.

Russians in the Sumy region “demilitarized” a school and a library/Dmitry Zhivitsky's telegrams

Russian invaders are constantly attacking Ukrainian cities. On June 25, two enemy helicopters fired at the border of the Sumy region.

Another Russian attack on the Sumy region

According to the State Border Service, enemy helicopters took off from Russia and made 6 launches of unguided rockets on the territory of the Krasnopol community. According to preliminary information, there are no casualties as a result of this shelling.

Head of the Sumy regional military administration Dmitry Zhivitsky told about the situation in the Krasnopol community as of 21:00.

It was on this village today at noon that two Russian helicopters fired 6 missiles. In addition, the enemy dropped two munitions onto the territory of the community from a drone.

As a result, civilian infrastructure was destroyed and damaged:

• hospital
• house of culture
• library
• school

Zhivitsky stressed that in all cases there were no casualties.

Sumshchyna was shelled with phosphorus shells and kamikaze drones

On June 23, it became known that the Russian military had shelled the Yunakovskaya community with Grads. In doing so, they used phosphorus charges prohibited by international conventions. As a result, the child suffered, he had to be hospitalized in a local hospital. So far, nothing is known about the condition of the victim.

On the night of June 22, the Russians fired at the Sumy region, which continued in the morning. Esmanskaya and Novoslobodskaya communities came under attack. A total of 20 “arrivals” were recorded.

A few days earlier, on June 21, the Russians again raided the Krasnopolsky community with drones. Several kamikaze drones were launched there, dropping explosives. 4 people were injured.

Note: Russia intends to keep units of separate forces near the border with Ukraine for as long as possible. Thus, the enemy troops want to divert the attention of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and at the same time shell Sumy and Chernihiv regions. In June alone, the Russians shelled the Sumy and Chernihiv regions 320 times.

Lukashenko asks Putin to do something with NATO aircraft/AP

Lukashenko and Putin met in St. Petersburg The dictators complained to each other about the difficult life and politics of the West.

Belarusian self-proclaimed dictator Alexander Lukashenko decided to take the opportunity to express all his worries to Putin. As expected, NATO is one of them.

NATO planes hinder Lukashenka

At a meeting with Putin, Lukashenka said that he was very concerned about the training flights of US and NATO aircraft, “training to carry nuclear warheads.”

We are very worried about this. I ask you to consider the question of a mirror answer. They are training – you can at least help us adjust the planes, – Lukashenka begged Putin.

He also added that “you shouldn't joke with the West”, and used the attack of Germany and the USSR in 1941 as an argument. The Belarusian dictator messed up a little – the Russians and Belarusians took on the role of the Nazis, and it was they who “lulled” Ukraine with statements that everything would be fine and no one would attack. Therefore, Lukashenka should re-read history and ask himself if he is ready for what responsibility awaits him for an alliance with the occupiers.

The meeting between Putin and Lukashenko: what else did the dictators say

< li> Lukashenka decided to tell Putin that “the blockade of Kaliningrad is a declaration of war”. In his opinion, the ban on the transportation of sanctioned goods is quite similar to an armed invasion. The Kremlin was already squealing loudly that it was ready to break through the corridor through Lithuania by force. True, Lithuania is a NATO member, Russia understands this and is in no hurry to turn its threats into reality. A front with such a powerful rival will very quickly lead to the collapse of Russia.
• Putin promised Lukashenka to provide Iskander-M, and for some reason announced the possibility of launching nuclear strikes. Obviously, Putin again wanted to scare the West, but no one believes in his bluff for a long time.

Piontkovsky about Lukashenka and Russian provocations/Channel 24 collage

< strong _ngcontent-sc88="">On the night of June 25, Russian bombers flew into the territory of Belarus and launched rocket attacks on Ukraine from there. This is such a provocation to draw Belarus into the war against Ukraine. However, Lukashenka will continue to try to avoid this.

Andrey Piontkovsky, a Russian publicist, told Channel 24 about this. According to him, for 30 years they have been trying to drag Lukashenka either into the war or into Russia, but he desperately resists.

“He has a lot of practice and experience in deception. My conclusion is winds Lukashenka, he is a Belarusian rat and will be able to wind through, because sending an army to Ukraine is mortally dangerous,” says Piontkovsky.

In his opinion, Putin's show-offs are no longer are taken seriously because it is a losing country. And Lukashenko sees it too.

Russian provocations will not affect Lukashenko

According to Piontkovsky, this is an obvious provocation from Russia. “This is the same as setting fire to and blowing up a house in Ryazan, as a result of which Putin became the leader of the nation,” he said.

This is from the same series – to call back fire from Ukraine and thereby force Belarus to enter the war. But they won’t outplay Lukashenka with such cheap show-offs,” the publicist said.

What is known about the provocations of Belarus by Russia

• On the night and morning of June 25, Russia massively attacked the territory of Ukraine with missiles. Most of these missiles (about 60 in total) were launched from Belarus.
• It is reported that the planes took off from Russian airfields and then entered Belarusian airspace. In Belarus, the locals did not hear the fighter jets because they were operating at high altitude. So they could only see the launch of the rockets.
• By the way, intelligence officials say that the large-scale missile strikes on June 25 on Ukrainian territory are precisely an attempt to drag Belarus into a war against Ukraine.

Andrei Piontkovsky about the provocations of Russia and Lukashenka:

The threat of an offensive from Belarus: in short

• Earlier, the General Staff reported , that the Belarusian military is being trained by Russian officers during the exercises. The main directions are reconnaissance and sabotage.

Why Putin goes to Lukashenko/Channel 24 collage

Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is going to visit the Belarusian city of Grodno on June 30, 2022. This is the first time he has gone abroad since the beginning of the war.

Vladimir Putin will finally go to convince Alexander Lukashenko to invade Ukraine. Russian human rights activist Mark Feigin told Channel 24 about this.

In his opinion, there is no doubt about it. “That's what he's going there for. But I don't know how Lukashenko will react,” Feigin said.

Note that Putin will go abroad for the first time since the full-scale invasion. He will head to the Belarusian city of Grodno. There, Putin is going to attend the forum of regions of the “Union State”, it will last from June 30 to July 1, 2022.

Putin's selection method for Belarus

“From my point of view, he will not fly there by plane. It is quite possible to get there, even by car. There are a million methods,” the Russian human rights activist noted.

He suggested that the plane could fly and its main board – it is only for distraction. It is not certain that Vladimir Putin will actually be on the plane.

SOF inflicted new losses on the enemy/Channel 24 collage

The Russians continue their large-scale attack on Donbass. Our warriors boldly hold the line and inflict new losses on the enemy.

For 122 days, our brave defenders and defenders manage to break all the plans of Russian infidels. The enemy, despite heavy losses, continues a large-scale offensive, the situation at the front remains difficult.

Enemy Hurricanes destroyed in the Donetsk region

Heroes of the MTR showed a spectacular video of how they accurately destroy Russian artillery and military equipment. The enemy has a great advantage in artillery, so such attacks are essential and lead to leveling the situation on the battlefield.

As our soldiers emphasized. hostile artillery is always a priority target. This is especially true of large-caliber systems, with which the Russians hit civilian cities and positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

MTR scouts in the Donetsk region managed to detect an enemy convoy. It consisted of 6 Uragan multiple launch rocket systems, transport and loading vehicles, fuel trucks, trucks, fire control vehicles, armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles.

The successful adjustment of the scouts and the accuracy of our gunners worked “excellently”: enemy artillery and military equipment flared up brightly.

The war between Russia and Ukraine: a short update

• As French journalists found out, 4 days before Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Macron called Putin on the phone. He demanded to comply with the Minsk agreements and insisted on a meeting between Putin and Biden. The Russian dictator lied about “an attempt to rewrite the agreements”, that “Ukraine is not doing anything” and even asked to take into account the “position of the militants”. He agreed to a meeting with Biden, but refused to talk about a specific date.
• Putin and Lukashenko met in St. Petersburg. They complained to each other about the West and promised to defend their country. Putin also said that he would provide Belarus with “Iskaners-M” and did not even forget to remind about nuclear weapons.
