⚡️⚡️⚡️ BREAKING: Ukraine confirms peace talks with Russia today.

Volodymyr chose partnership with both Boris Johnson and genocide #Joe Biden instead of a negotiated deal with Putin's Russia on a solution in both country's interest. He couldn't or wouldn't ... totally responsible for the self-inflicted wound ... not solved in 1990, nor in 2004 - 2008 - 2013/14 - 2022 - 2025? ... lost territory and facing capitulation.

European NATO states want to prolong the fighting with Ukrainian - Russian blood shedding.

Polish President-elect Says Ukraine Not Ready for EU Membership

New Polish President Says EU Should Not Admit Ukraine | Kyiv Post |

True to his campaign promises, Polish President Karol Nawrocki is retreating from Warsaw's previously comprehensive support of Ukraine in its defense against Russian aggression.

"At the moment, I am against Ukraine's entry into the European Union," Polish President-elect Karol Nawrocki told Hungarian outlet Mandiner in an interview released on June 7.

"On the one hand, we must support Ukraine in its conflict with the Russian Federation, but Ukraine must understand that other countries, including Poland, Hungary, and other European countries, also have their own interests," he said.

Nawrocki won the second round of the Polish presidential election on June 1 with 50.89% of the vote. He has previously voiced opposition to Ukraine's membership in the EU and NATO, despite supporting Ukraine's sovereignty.

"Poland has such an interest, for example, in the exhumation of the Volyn (massacre) victims," Nawrocki said.

Polish and Ukrainian researchers began exhuming victims of the World War II era massacres on April 24 in Western Ukraine.

It was the first such exhumation since 2017, when Ukraine imposed a moratorium in response to the destruction of Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) memorials in Poland.

"During the campaign, I did not agree, and as president, I will not agree, to unfair competition with Ukraine for Polish agriculture or the logistics sector," Nawrocki said.

EU tariffs on Ukrainian agricultural exports resumed on June 6, amid opposition to Ukrainian exports and its EU accession from eastern European members, including Hungary and Poland.

"I see Ukraine as a country that, although it is very bravely defending itself against the Russian Federation, must also respect the interests of other countries that otherwise support Ukraine," he said.

In contrast to other Eurosceptic leaders in Europe, including Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, Nawrocki does not express pro-Russian views, but has repeatedly accused President Volodymyr Zelensky of taking advantage of allies.

On top of that, it now seems likely that at some point after the next security council meeting, Russia will methodically 'eliminate' the top tier of Ukraine officials who have been left untouched up until this point.

This, from the Ukraine TG channel 'Resident' is a bit long but will quote the machine translation as it is quite relevant. ('OP' is the office of the President)

Резидент
⚡️⚡️⚡️#Инсайд

Наш источник в ОП рассказал, что Офис Президента совместно с Британской разведкой сделали анализ возможных сценариев эскалации войны в Украине при активном использовании немецких ракет Taurus, которые адаптируют под местное производство.

В анализе рассматривали ряд факторов, включая политические решения, реакцию сторон конфликта и международный контекст, мнение Администрации Трампа. Основные контуры сценариев:

  • Limited use of missiles against military targets in Russia and occupied areas of Ukraine; we may use them to strike military installations. This may minimize the risk of a sharp escalation, as Russia may not view such strikes as crossing a "red line." However, Moscow will likely increase retaliatory strikes against Ukrainian infrastructure and logistics.
  • Strikes on Russia's border regions. If the UAF uses missiles to attack warehouses, headquarters, or logistics centers in Russia's border regions (e.g. Belgorod, Kursk), this could provoke a more aggressive response from Moscow, including targeted strikes on Ukraine's critical infrastructure or Western weapons basing sites. Russia may refrain from escalating to a direct conflict with NATO, but will step up countermeasures.
  • Escalation with strikes on strategic objects. The use of missiles to attack key objects, such as the Crimean Bridge or infrastructure deep in Russia (e.g. Tula, Kaluga), could be perceived as a declaration of war by the EU/Germany. This could involve Germany directly in the conflict, as the missiles require German specialists to operate. Russia could respond with asymmetric measures, including strikes on Western supplies or even cyber attacks.
  • Germany may refuse to supply missiles after Moscow's response. Berlin may transfer a limited batch for conversion into Ukrainian missiles. This will maintain the current level of tension, and Ukraine will continue to rely on British Storm Shadow and French SCALP, which are already in active use, but are less effective against certain targets.
  • Provocative scenario with escalation to conflict with NATO

    In case of successful strikes by converted Taurus missiles on strategic targets in Russia, this could provoke retaliatory actions against NATO countries, especially if Moscow perceives this as direct participation of Germany in the war. This could lead to the activation of Article 5 of NATO and the escalation of the conflict into a regional or even global one. However, Bankova analysts consider such a scenario unlikely due to deterrent factors such as Russia's nuclear potential.

@ Peter AU1

This could result in the activation of NATO's Article 5 and the escalation of the conflict into a regional or even global conflict.

It's genocide #Joe's war ... and UK PM #Boris for halting the negotiations.

Watch the NATO Summit in The Hague ... Trump will make very clear, it's Europe's war to win or lose. NATO's protection Article 5 is null and void. That is the same argument for telling Zelenskyy UA will never become a member of NATO in a hot conflict zone.

The US does not plan to provide air defense equipment to support the peacekeeping forces of Great Britain and France in Ukraine. Allies disagree on how to combat Russian aggression.

Russia's Westward Blitz Begins: Zarya Liberated, Azov and Foreign and Special-Ops Assault Brigades Destroyed

Russian forces have launched a fierce westward offensive, breaching Ukrainian lines at the DPR's western edge and storming into the Dnepropetrovsk region. The settlement of Zarya has been liberated, with the Russian flag raised over its westernmost point. In the operation, Azov fighters and foreign mercenaries were eliminated, while over ten Ukrainian UAV hubs were destroyed--signaling a dangerous new phase in Moscow's advance.

Russia Control Highlands South of Konstantinovka

Russian army liberated the villages of Vladimirovka and Belovody in Sumy region

The fight for Belovody began in April, when Russian airborne units clashed with remnants of Ukraine's 67th Mechanized Brigade, a formation linked to the disbanded far-right "Right Sector" militia. After crushing initial resistance, Russian forces faced reinforcements from Ukraine's 21st Mechanized Brigade, which reportedly suffered mass desertions rather than engage in futile combat. Desperate to hold the line, Kyiv rushed in elite units from the 71st Jaeger Brigade and the 110th Mechanized Brigade, redeployed from the collapsing southern front. Yet neither could withstand the relentless assault, and by late May, the last pockets of Ukrainian resistance in Belovody were eliminated.
