On June 27th, the Kiev regime claimed another Russian attack on a civilian target in Ukraine. A shopping center on an area of over 10 thousand square meters is burning in the city of Kremenchug in the Poltava region. Ukrainian President Zelensky claimed that Russian missiles hit the building. According to him, there were more than a thousand people inside.
However, the number of victims is extremely low. The head of the Poltava regional military administration Dmitry Lunin reported in his Telegram channel that as of 6 pm local time it was known about two dead and 20 wounded. The same data is provided by the regional Department of the State Service of Ukraine for Emergency Situations.
“The shopping center is on fire, rescuers are engaged in extinguishing the fire, the number of victims is impossible to even imagine,” Zelensky wrote.
115 people are involved in extinguishing the fire. A fire train was sent to the place of emergency.
The reports seem suspicious. According to Ukrainian officials, Russian cruise missiles hit the crowded shopping center, but only the deaths of two people have been confirmed so far.
UPDATE: The number of victims has reportedly risen to 13.

The burning center turned out to be the Amstor shop located meters away from the workshop of the Kremenchug Kredmash Road Machinery Plant. Since 2014, the plant has been used for repairing military equipment for the Armed Forces of Ukraine during the Anti-Terrorist Operation against the population of the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics.
The Kredmash Road Machinery Plant was likely hit by several missiles and the blast wave set the shopping center nearby on fire.
The facilities of the plant behind the shop are even not marked on Google maps, what confirms that they likely serve the military needs.

Footage from the area confirms that the attack targeted the military facilities. A lot of servicemen in full military gear are walking near the shopping center.
The number of people gathering nearby and a few cars on the parking that are seen on the videos also raise suspicions that the Ukrainian authorities reported the real number of “civilians” in the shop.


UPDATE:

One of the main propagandists of Ukraine Anton Gerashchenko traditionally came to the scene of events to shoot provocative videos and share them on his social networks. However, his video only aroused even more suspicion of Kiev’s statements.
Gerashchenko showed the destroyed store from the inside. A large number of bottles can be seen on the shelters. If the fire was the result of a missile strike, they would definitely break out. Thus, the video confirms the fact that there was no strike, and the building caught fire for another reason. It was probably burned after military facilities exploded nearby.

The Kiev’s propaganda campaign follows the same scenarios covering the military developments and attacks in Ukraine. On June 26, a civilian house was allegedly hit by Russian missiles. However, it turned out that the target of the attack was the Artyom military plant located nearby and the house was likely hit by Ukrainian air defence systems in an attempt to intercept the Russian missiles.

The facts are easily verified, and the truth is revealed immediately. However, the lies reported by the Kiev media are actively spread by the MSM, as well as by senior officials of Western countries allied to the Kiev regime.

Mercenaries involved in murdering POWs eliminated – Russia​


"Russian forces have eliminated a group of Georgian mercenaries, fighting on the Ukrainian side, who were allegedly involved in the abuse and murder of prisoners, the spokesman for the Defense Ministry in Moscow, Lieutenant General Igor Konashenkov, said on Monday."

"The first group, according to the spokesman, “consisted of citizens of various European countries,” while the second listed only mercenaries from the so-called Georgian Legion. According to Konashenkov, “Georgian militants were involved in the brutal torture and murder of Russian servicemen near Kiev in March this year.”

NATO number one threat to global peace, says French politician​


"According to Juvin, NATO considers the European Union as "a registration office of its members"

"NATO is the number one threat to peace in the entire world because it is encircling Russia and is getting prepared to encircle China. And the European Union’s kowtowing to NATO, which, as a matter of fact, is serving Anglo-American interests, radically alien to Europe. This is the result of the shocking ignorance of European governments and those who were installed there by them at the helm of European institutions," he stated."

"such countries as Georgia, Armenia, and Ukraine, "which have never been part of Europe either geographically, or politically, or in humanitarian terms," as well as on Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Kosovo with an eye of admitting them to the US-led military bloc."

What I find interesting about this news bulletin if true. It reminds me of all those Starlink satellites, that Elon Musk has reportedly put into orbit, to give Ukraine monitoring capabilities, supposedly to give the edge in intelligence regarding Russian Military positions.

So how come the Ukraine Military are being hammered by the Russian Military in very strategic areas of combat? With pinpoint accuracy, I might add, with the video evidence available, and let's face it Russia has been pretty open in this area, for the most part, in it's disclosure.

It has been reported by some armchair pundits, that Russia does not have such surveillance capabilities, seems to me they have and are using such capabilities to make strategic strikes with incredible accuracy.

So was Elon Musk full of fluff and bullshit? Or more importantly, is the West in reality shooting in the dark, and using the MSM to hide the evidence. One Wonders.
 
On the importance of Odessa and Snake Island in the successful completion of the special operation

An interesting analyses based on Oleg Tsarev's recent article and and expanding it a little bit. Slightly edited machine translation, bolding, mine.

Stepan Nikolsky
28-06-2022

Experts link the current aggravation of the conflict around Odessa, Snake Island and other strategically important points for the SSO in the Black Sea region to one of the main objectives of the regime in Kiev. The battle with the West for the hero-city captured in the spring of 2014 by the oligarchic regime's tame Nazis has already begun, states former deputy of the last legitimate convocation of the Verkhovna Rada Oleg Tsarev. He explains the recent strikes by the Ukrainian Armed Forces against Russian ships, Russian Armed Forces positions on Snake Island and the drilling platforms of Chernomorneftegaz as preparation for the battle for Odessa, which is of extreme strategic importance to Great Britain - as part of the "Intermarium" project overseen by it through Warsaw - to obtain a cordon sanitaire between Asia and Europe from the Black Sea to the Baltic. Having Russia and China separated from Europe by UK-controlled states, thereby gaining control over Russia, China and Europe, has long been a dream of the City of London.

By attacking the platforms of Chernomorneftegaz near Odessa and the Snake Island, the Kiev regime's security forces, under pressure from Western handlers (Kiev's current policy is based on an irrepressible desire to please arms and military equipment suppliers), are once again trying to conduct a blockade of the ports in order to expand Western arms supply channels to the AFU and export grain to the West. However, despite the latest weapons already supplied by the West for this purpose, all these attempts are thwarted by the Russian Armed Forces, which has already caused the AFU to switch to the Nazi tactics of maximum terror against civilian objects.

Kiev, London and Washington are all well aware that, in fact, immediately after the liberation of Odessa, the West will lose Ukraine [or, as Tsarev puts it, the West will lose interest in Ukraine]. After all, this city not only allows us to control the port and oil and gas fields of a number of Black See shelves, but it is also a major hub for the transfer of weapons, as well as for export of raw materials and grain of Ukraine. It also is a kind of console for London to unfreeze and intensify conflicts. Russia views the city today, among other things, as a port that poses a threat to Crimea. According to experts, until peace agreements are signed, the West will do everything to prevent Russia from occupying Odessa. Without this Black Sea pearl, the value of Ukraine is greatly diminished. The "Intermarium" project, which creates a British-controlled cordon sanitaire between Asia and Europe from the Black Sea to the Baltic Sea, is unattainable without Odessa.

As for Snake Island, the aggravation of the conflict around this island is connected with an attempt of the Ukrainian armed forces to unblock the ports not so much for exporting grain as to free up a channel for supplying weapons to other regions of Ukraine through Romania. The same set of factors include the cutting off of Russia and Donbass, since the island controls the entire northwestern part of the Black Sea and adjacent territories. The island is located so that the means of surveillance on it can control the air and sea space not only around the Odessa region, but even on the territory of neighboring Moldova, Transnistria and Romania. If Russia finally gains a foothold on the island, deploys air defense and coastal defense equipment and cruise missiles, it will be able to dominate the northwestern part of the Black Sea, according to the British Defense Ministry.

The problem for Russia (as previously for Ukraine) is that it is easier to capture Snake Island than to hold it. There is nowhere to hide from shelling, it is not very clear how to defend the garrison if the enemy decides to bring down barrage fire on the island. However, the Russian garrison, unlike the Ukrainian one (which is "famous" only for foul language and quick surrender), copes with this task successfully. That is why the Russian Defense Ministry began its news reports two days in a row in the second half of June with a report about the disruption of several attempts to land on Snake Island by air and sea paratroopers of the AFU. Russian Defense Ministry spokesman General I. Konashenkov called the Ukrainian attempts to seize the island "a major provocation," which, according to his information, was planned "on direct orders from Vladimir Zelensky by the Ukrainian General Staff with the direct participation of advisers from the United States and Great Britain." [...]

According to Oleg Tsarev, it is extremely important for Great Britain to defend Odessa and capture Snake Island before the autumn-winter negotiations. In turn, it is equally important for Russia to take (return) this city under its control and at the same time to repel all encroachments by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. In order to seize the Snake island, as well as to defend and unblock Odessa, Great Britain will go to any lengths. According to O. Tsarev, London is ready to cross all imaginable and unimaginable red lines to achieve its goals. This includes supplying Kiev with the latest generation of missiles and drones, with the help of which Ukraine is guaranteed to carry the war to the territory of the Russian Federation, strikes on Sevastopol and the Crimean bridge, etc.

In turn, Russia, according to the Ukrainian politician, could respond symmetrically in the following way: destroy bridges, tunnels and electrical substations, causing transport and energy collapse. Oil with high voltage in transformers is a dangerous combination in itself, and if we add a number of missiles, it is guaranteed to destroy the electrical substations that feed the cities, returning Ukraine to the times that modern Ukrainian Nazis like best - to embroidered shirts, carts, rakes, moonshine and Cossacks. As a consequence, Ukraine without fuel and lubricants, without supply of weapons and ammunition, without communication, with destroyed command centers will not last even a week against the Russian army. One week of fighting - and then another six months to restore the destroyed infrastructure, to clean the country of remaining Bandera fighters, numerous hetmans, atamans and bandits. But that would be a police operation.

But Russia does not do that. And it doesn't do so because for its part it doesn't want to cross any red lines. Russia only strikes at military infrastructure. At the same time, the West and Ukraine are increasing pressure on Russia step by step. The cruiser Moskva has been sunk, the tugboat Bekh has been put out of action, oil rigs and Snake Island have been shelled, the border territories of the Russian Federation are under constant fire, and there is serious British activity in Odessa and the Black Sea region.

Both Ukrainian and Russian experts agree that the situation for London will become significantly more complicated and at the same time the successful end of the special operation will come much closer if Russia liberates the Odessa region. Political analyst Malek Dudakov believes that the British have their own positions in Bulgaria and Romania, so it cannot be said that they will completely leave the Black Sea, but it will become much more difficult for them to operate. Ukraine is of interest to Britain not only geostrategically, but also as a territory from which it can periodically unfreeze conflicts with Russia. Accordingly, the sooner Odessa can be liberated, the sooner the bloodshed on the territory of the former USSR will end.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian experts believe that there will be no offers of peace from the West until November - until after the elections in the United States. But then there will be. Now V. Putin is being blamed for inflation and problems in the U.S. economy; after November there will be no need for this. Besides, the continuation of confrontation with Russia will bring more problems to the West than to Russia. According to O. Tsarev, this will become especially clear on the eve of winter, when the role of Russia as a supplier of energy resources will become especially great. Most likely, peace in this case will mean preservation of the status quo, when everyone will retain the territories they control. If Odessa is liberated before that time, the world will know about the successful completion of the special operation much sooner.

Tsarev's article here (in Russian):


BTW, Russian media reminded recently that the war in Donbass was prepared back in 1957 when in a secret CIA study, Ukraine was divided into 12 zones according to the degree of loyalty to American intervention. A summary of the declassified study published by Ukrainian BBC was translated into English and published by Oleg Tsarev in 2017


The study itself:

Turkey reaches NATO deal with Finland and Sweden​


“Turkey got what it wanted,” Erdogan said in a statement after the deal was announced."


https://www.rt.com/news/558027-turkey-finland-sweden-nato-deal/

As always, it is hard to tell what Erdogan will do but I doubt that this will change his position on Finland and Sweden joining NATO. They also declared recently that they won’t join the sanctions against Russia for obvious strategic and stability reasons, which is good. But then again you never know with the Turks.
 

It must be time for payoffs and ...

Wonder what game Turkey are playing with the agreement to allow Finland and Sweden to join Nato. The whole show gets more interesting yet nothing changes and Ukraine continues to suffer. All the western population pay for the costs of out leaders ridiculous decisions.

Those conditions Turkey gave (and the interpretations it will dictate) may create some serious domestic political problems in Finland and Sweden. For example kurdish descent MP Amineh Kakabaveh has had earlier important voting power in Swedish parliament due to balance of power in the current government, and is probably furious right now. In Finland the Left Alliance (which is one of the ruling government parties) had just while ago declared officially, while changing it's view to support the Nato decision, that PKK should also be removed of it's terrorist organisation status.

Turkey can now start to increasingly humiliate Sweden and Finland, since there's still time until every Nato country have ratified the membership, and Turkey can change it's mind if they don't dance to their tune. The show is indeed getting interesting!

“Turkey got what it wanted,” Erdogan said in a statement after the deal was announced."

My guess is that Gülen was used as a stick/carrot argument. Either the US promised to extradite him if Erdogan agrees for the NATO expansion or threatened him with re-launching another coup (remember 2016?) with the use of the Gülen movement if he doesn't.
 
And of course, media:
#UpDATE "The world is horrified" by the Russian attack on a shopping mall in Ukraine (Blinken) #AFP.
Apparently the explosion affected the nearby ammunition hangars not the shopping per se:

"Prolong the war to kill as many Ukrainians as possible. New disinformation operation. It was indeed a munitions factory that was bombed. The fire spread to a disused mall nearby."


"The arrow indicates the location of the camera and the cross the hit point. Ukrainian and Western propaganda is confirmed."
