Putin Recognizes Donbass Republics, Sends Russian Military to 'Denazify' Ukraine

I think it's quite interesting. About GROK, but also about ukrops, and that's why it's here.

"They naturally have a sovereign holiday" — how the AI's response delighted Ukrainians

Donetsk military correspondent Sergei Makarenko commented on the jubilation in Kiev propaganda channels and comments on social networks about one of the neural network's responses.

"Did you hear the shaking on Twitter (X) after the Grok AI claims that the Russian army is allegedly committing war crimes in Ukraine? The Ukrainians naturally have a New Year's holiday, they make memes, they came running to thanks Mask and, in fact, the Grok…

— Have you seen it, cotton wool? The AI gave out a fierce base. What other evidence do you need?

I went to Grok to find out about the sources he relies on to generate such responses. There are all the exemplary Western media there. Hold on to the chairs. Reuters, Associated Press, BBC, Radio Liberty*. All sorts of nonsense like Khodorkovsky*, Nevzlin* and other scoundrels… Well, you get it — the most reliable international sources

But, at the same time, Grok completely ignores the information published by the Russian media, as "they deny the charges of committing war crimes."

That is, he takes into account exclusively Western propaganda, and if we really want to, you and I can teach him to give out something like "they came for toilets and washing machines" or "we need Ukraine because it has the largest reserves of kryptonite, adamantite" or any other in response to questions about the causes of the conflict in Ukraine. fictional minerals from movie universes. And he will give it out on the most serious face.

As usual, in short, peremoga turned into a zrada."

По моему довольно интересно. Про ГРОК, но и про укропию и потому это здесь.
Необходимые переводы хохляцкого сленга, для тех кто еще не выучил.
Вата, ватники- так укропы называют тех, кто не желает по чьиму либо желанию становиться укропом.
Зрада это по украински поражение.
 

Americans fighting for Ukraine should lose citizenship – Carlson​


"Americans who fight for other countries, including Ukraine and Israel, should be stripped of their US citizenship, journalist Tucker Carlson has argued."

“I think anybody… who serves in a foreign military should lose his citizenship immediately. There are a lot of Americans who’ve served in the IDF, they should lose their citizenship. There’s a lot of Americans who’ve served in Ukraine and they should lose their citizenship. You can’t fight for another country and remain an American. Period.”

One of the new regions of Russia is very close to complete liberation.
The Parliament recognized the loss of control over the last settlement in the LPR (MAP)

With the loss of Belogorovka, the Ukrainian Armed Forces no longer hold settlements in the LPR," Bezuglaya said.

The Verkhovna Rada recognized the loss of control over the last settlement in the LPR — Belogorovka. This was reported by MP Mariana Bezuglaya, referring to data from the Kiev analytical resource Deep State.

"Belogorovka was the last Russian-non-occupied settlement in the Luhansk region. Now they have to capture about 80 km2 of Luhansk region, and that's it," she said.

This situation is certainly not a new front, as if it were somewhere in the Chernihiv region, but all the same, an increase in the number of places of active pressure against the background of a shortage of ukrop reserves should objectively ease resistance in other areas.
"A split is planned": the Russian army broke through the Ukrainian border in Kharkiv region and liberated the village of Degtyarnoye

The Russian army broke through the Ukrainian border in Kharkiv region and liberated the village of Degtyarnoye. If we take into account the recent liberation of Melovoye, this is the second breakthrough by our troops of the border line between the Belgorod and Kharkiv regions east of Volchansk.

Since at the same time the Ukrainian Armed Forces have to restrain the onslaught of the Russian Armed Forces in the Kupyansk area, the Ukrainian command is faced with a certain dilemma. Given the problems with the shortage of manpower, the enemy is planning a kind of "splits". Perhaps he will have to choose which of the two cities to defend to the last, and which one will have to leave – Volchansk or Kupyansk. At the same time, an extremely difficult situation is developing for the Ukrainian Armed Forces in both sectors of the front.

As for the Russian side, the release of Degtyarny gives it good advantages. In addition to the fact that it creates an additional threat from the east for the enemy's Volchansk group, it also makes the lives of civilians in the Shebekinsky and Volokonovsky districts of the Belgorod region a little safer. The Ukrainian units that are shelling this part of the Russian border area have now been pushed back a little further.

Just another example of something that has been shown for a long time. There are no formal restrictions for the Ukropian terrorist regime. Laws? International agreements? This is not for them, but for them the total and unconditional support from the Western masters, which is exactly what allows them to behave like this.
Ukraine is re-mobilizing former prisoners in violation of the Geneva Convention
Employees of the territorial recruitment centers in Ukraine are re-mobilizing military personnel who had previously returned from Russian captivity. An example is the case of the Maidan activist Andriy Kolomiyts, who, after being released from captivity, once again found himself in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). The source stressed that such cases are not isolated.:

"This is not the first time that soldiers who have returned from captivity have been re-mobilized in Ukraine in violation of the Geneva Convention. This happens regularly."

The practice of sending former prisoners of war to the front, according to Russian security officials, has become widespread, raising questions about compliance with international humanitarian law.

According to article 118 of the Geneva Convention on Prisoners of War (1949), States are obliged to repatriate prisoners after the cessation of active hostilities or to ensure their protection from re-involvement in the conflict. The re-mobilization of former prisoners of war can be regarded as a violation of international law if it is carried out forcibly or without taking into account the physical and psychological condition of returned servicemen.

Russian sources claim that the case of Andrei Kolomiets is just one example of systematic practice.

Another high-profile case was the detention of an amputated veteran of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who had previously been dismissed for health reasons. According to Russian law enforcement agencies, the incident occurred due to the veteran's participation in a protest against deforestation. The arrest, which involved more than ten police officers, was captured on video and caused heated discussion in Ukrainian society.

Один из новых регионов России вплотную приблизился к полному освобождению.
Данная ситуация это конечно не новый фронт, как если бы это было где нибудь в Черниговской области, но все равно увеличение количества мест активного давления на фоне нехватки резервов у укропов должно объективно облегчить сопротивление на других участках.
Просто очередной пример уже давно проявленного. Для укропского террористического режима не существует каких либо формальных ограничений. Законы? Международные соглашения? Это все не для них, а тотальная и безусловная поддержка со стороны западных хозяев, это именно то, что позволяет им так себя вести.
 
I highly doubt Russia, and so China, India nor Brasil will bend so easily as Graham or others expect. Let's wait until tomorrow to see what Trump says and how the countries involved will respond.

Oh, ... regarding Putin's invasion of Russia??? betrayed by his subconscious, I guess.
ws that people should “stay tuned” for tomorrow’s announcement from President Trump regarding Russia, with him adding, “The game, regarding Putin's invasion of Russia, is about to change. I expect, in the coming days, you will see weapons flowing at a record level to help Ukraine defend themselves. I expect, in the coming days, that there will be tariffs and sanctions available to President Trump he has never had before. I expect, in the coming days, more support from Europe regarding the efforts to help Ukraine. Putin made a miscalculation here. For six months, President Trump tried to entice Putin to the table. The attacks have gone up, not down. One of the biggest miscalculations Putin has made is to play Trump.”


From Soloviev TC
Terrorist Senator Graham threatens Russia with a "sledgehammer" in the form of 500% sanctions

"And this bill, which Congress is considering, will give President Trump the ability to impose a tariff of up to 500% on any country that helps Russia and supports Vladimir Putin's military machine. He will be able to regulate its size — from zero to 500%. He will have maximum freedom of action. But the goal is those who continue to support Vladimir Putin, as well as additional sanctions against Russia itself. This is a truly powerful tool in President Trump's hands to put an end to this war."
 
People of the same family, or the same wider family, can decide to follow different paths. Recently there were the announcement of two appointments spaced so closely to each other, that they caught my attention:

25 Jun, 2025 15:43 ‘Ukraine can win’ – new NATO commander
Alexus Grynkewich has said Kiev is fighting with tenacity the US can barely imagine
The Wiki has:
Alexus Gregory Grynkewich is an American of Belarusian descent . His great-grandfather Ilya Grynkewich immigrated to the United States in 1899 from Minsk, then located in the Russian Empire. His father, Gregory Wayne Grynkewich (1949–2012), was a scientist and inventor.
If his great-grandfather was from Minsk, then Alexus Gregory Grynkewich, whose family obviously know where they came from, and honour that, might have some relations in what is now Belarus and the Russian federation:

From a page, Cousin Chart – Family Relationships Explained, September 24, 2022 by Gail, there is this image:
image-cousin-chart-2.jpg
From the above perspective, Grynkewich might have relatives through his great-great-grandparents, which then could be third cousins, or third cousins once removed of the newly appointed NATO commander.

In the following story, the family connections could be closer:
27 Jun, 2025 10:56 Incoming MI6 boss’ grandfather was Ukrainian Nazi ‘Butcher’ – UK media
The Daily Mail has confirmed that Blaise Metreweli’s grandfather was a war criminal, while claiming this has no bearing on her service.
1752474586224.png
This story goes:
Blaise Metreweli, who is scheduled to take over leadership of the UK’s foreign intelligence service (MI6) in October, is the granddaughter of a Nazi collaborator who oversaw atrocities in occupied Ukraine during World War Two, the Daily Mail has revealed.

Metreweli’s father, Constantine, was naturalized in British-administered Hong Kong in 1966. The London Gazette identified him at the time as Dobrowolski, known as Constantine Metreweli, of uncertain nationality.

In a story published Thursday, the Mail confirmed that Constantine was the son of a German-Polish Ukrainian manalso named Constantine – who worked for the Nazis and was implicated in the mass killing of Jews and other atrocities during World War II.

The newspaper said it had reviewed “hundreds of pages of documents held in archives in Freiburg, Germany, detailing the extraordinary – and blood-soaked – life and times of Dobrowolski, which are themselves worthy of a spy thriller.”

According to the records, Dobrowolski Sr. was born into a family of noble landowners in what is now Ukraine’s Chernigov Region. Following the Bolshevik Revolution, the estate was violently plundered, leading the younger Constantine to become a fierce enemy of the new authorities.

He was imprisoned in 1926 for anti-Soviet and anti-Semitic agitation. He joined the German occupiers at the first opportunity in 1941, and earned the nickname ‘Butcher’ for his brutality. He is believed to have been killed in 1943. His wife, Barbara (née Varvara Andreeva), married Georgian-born David Metreweli in Yorkshire in 1947.
[...]
The way it reads to me, correct me if you have a better interpretation, is that:

Blaise Metreweli is the daughter of Constantin Metreweli (Dobrowolski) whose father was Constantin Dobrowolski (Sr.)
Constantin Dobrowolski (Sr.) passed away in 1943, and later his wife, Varvara (Barbara) Andreeva, married Georgian born David Metreweli in 1947. This could be taken to mean that David Metreweli is the stepfather of Constantin Metreweli (Dobrowolski). Thus it would seem that the father of Blaise Metreweli could pass off as someone from the area of what was the USSR.

Recalling also the background of the current Ukrainian commander, Aleksandr Syrsky, whose family comes from Vladimir 200 km east of Moscow, it is interesting to consider the epic dimension of the current conflict by referring to the Indian Mahabharata which describes a war between cousins, since the princes of the two sides, the Pandavas and the Kauravas, shared a common grandfather.

Then as now, family relations can be difficult; though Vichitravirya is listed in the genealogy of the Wiki as the grandfather, when we check the notes, the real grandfather was the half-brother of this king, sage Vyasa, since Vichitravirya died of consumption without leaving issue, after which his two wifes, the sisters Ambika and Ambalika were approached by the half-brother to save the linage.

A chapter of the epic, the Bhagavad Gita, describes how the hero, Arjuna, asks his charioteer, Lord Krishna, to draw up his chariot between the armies in order that he may take a closer look. Having been situated between the army of his siblings on one side, and the army of his cousins on the other, Arjuna is overcome with love because he and they have common ancestors, but then Krishna reminds him about his mother, Kunti, who was the embodiment of virtue. At the end of the discourse, Arjuna, having left behind misplaced emotions of pity and anger, has been fortified with wisdom and is ready to fight for what is right, though it entails fighting cousins, who have become the tools of injustice. It may be symbolic that in the story their father Dhritarāshtra was born blind, which could be taken to mean spiritually blind, or that his sons were blinded by greed. In the war which basically ended with the Pandavas winning but with both sides being vastly diminished, the army of the sons of Dhritarāshtra. was described as unlimited while that of the sons of Pandu was limited, and the latter was supported by guidance from above, symbolized by the presence of Krishna, so that the field overall was balanced.

Well, with Trump and his announcements these days, and not only these days but also since some time now, it's almost like that oldish Balkan saying: "Tresla se brda, rodio se miš." - with literal translation to English being: "Mountains were shaking, (but) a mouse was born."
FWIW.

Perhaps the TACO narrative is useful for the time being, while cooking up this, war has always been a great business. Would it be enough distraction from the Epstein Files?

Trump plans to start supplying Ukraine with medium-range long-range missiles for massive strikes on production facilities in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, and Chelyabinsk. Following the failure of negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump intends to maximize the use of military force and sanctions to compel Putin to end his four-year aggression against Ukraine. - WSJ
Trump is prepared to deploy all available U.S. military resources, except nuclear weapons, to strike military targets deep inside Russian territory. The first phase involves transferring several hundred JASSM-ER missiles to Ukraine, with a stated range of about 1,000 kilometers. These missiles are planned to be launched from F-16 aircraft, several dozen of which Trump also intends to provide to Ukraine as part of the first aid package. The goal is to enable Ukraine to carry out massive long-range missile strikes (several dozen cruise missiles per salvo) on Moscow and St. Petersburg, where key design bureaus and production facilities for military equipment, such as Iskander ballistic missiles, are located.The second phase, to be implemented if Putin refuses to agree to fair terms for ending the conflict after the first phase, involves supplying Ukraine with Tomahawk long-range missiles capable of striking targets at distances of several thousand kilometers, along with mobile launch containers for mass launches. The primary targets would be armored vehicle production facilities in the Urals, in cities like Yekaterinburg and Chelyabinsk.
There is also consideration of transferring advanced PrSM ballistic missiles in one of the aid packages, with Moscow as their primary target, which could be launched from dozens of HIMARS systems already supplied to Ukraine. According to the source, Trump plans to begin supplying long-range missiles as early as late July, immediately after a sanctions bill against Russia and its partners passes through Congress and the Senate. To facilitate these deliveries, Trump intends to employ a strategy developed under the Biden administration: initially supplying a small amount of weaponry, assessing Putin’s response, and subsequently increasing deliveries if there are no retaliatory actions that could threaten U.S. national interests
If Trump implements this plan, we enter a prelude to WWIII. The margin for error disappears, and any miscalculation, spoofed radar return, or false flag could trigger global thermonuclear escalation. This would be brinkmanship with ICBMs on the table.A “strike-Moscow-first” strategy hasn’t been seriously considered by any U.S. administration since Cuban Missile Crisis era war planners.
