Wow… Ukrainska Pravda (‘Ukraine Truth’ in English translation)… a 21st century oxymoron.
I have great sympathy for the Ukrainian soldiers.
No government in the world has given them even one word of truth.
And none cares how many of them die or are forever maimed.
They are on a suicide mission.

Janine Di Giovanni, journalist, director and co-founder of the reckoning project, talked about her work in Ukraine and her impressions of it in the program ‘On the Edge’.
The guest of the program helps document the war crimes of the Russian army. The author of a unique project, created together with Natalia Humeniuk, Di Giovanni collects the evidence of the monstrous crimes of Russia in Ukraine, combining them into one big archive and actively trying to make the international community aware of the horrors of the war against Ukraine.
The methods of collecting evidence are very different from the standard interview, so the data collected will be almost impossible to refute in court. Read more about the project and what journalistic ethics should be in times of war in the interview.

Putin’s Press Secretary claims Grain Initiative has “no future”
Ukrainska Pravda 23

Dmitry Peskov, Press Secretary of the Russian president, has said that the Grain Initiative has no future, and Moscow sees no reason to continue it (the Black Sea Grain Initiative is an agreement brokered by the UN with Russia and Türkiye launched on 22 July 2022 to enable ships to transport grain from Ukraine – ed.)
SOURCE: Peskov in an interview with Izvestia, reports Russian state-owned news agency Interfax
QUOTE: “It is hardly possible to predict any final decision here, we can only state that if we judge de facto from what we have [at the moment – ed.], then this agreement has no future.”
DETAILS: According to Peskov, the agreement provides for “cooperation between contracting states or associations.”
“And so part of this job was done, and the second part, which concerned the Russian Federation, was never done,” he said.
“Therefore, if we state what is apparent now, then, of course, there are no prospects, there are no grounds to prolong it. Because so far what was promised to us has not been done,” Peskov said.
EARLIER: Earlier this week, Russian President Vladimir Putin accused Western countries of failing to comply with the Russian demands concerning the Black Sea Grain Initiative and said that Moscow was considering a withdrawal from the agreement.
In mid-May, despite Russia’s threats to withdraw from the agreement, the Black Sea Grain Initiative was extended for another two months.
Later, it was revealed that Kyiv could allow the transit of Russian ammonia through Ukrainian territory if it received guarantees from Russia and the UN that the Black Sea Grain Initiative would work without any obstructions.

Check the timelines starting on June 4, keeping in mind that pro-Ukraine sources are deliberately slow on updating maps for operational security reasons. Ukraine is going slow, little by little and not talking much about it until a few days after the fact.
This is a slow grind, not a blitz. Ukraine is shaping the battlefield, probing, and taking small bites. Ukraine is holding back the majority of its forces for the main attack it has not yet launched. Until that happens lots of writers will get paid for writing their extremely important opinions of which they know as little as their readers about what is really happening.
Ukraine's keeping quiet allows Russia to say whatever it wants. It does not change what is happening on the ground. When Russia is losing they lie and claim they are inflicting insanely huge losses on Ukraine. It is safe to assume that what Russia says about Ukrainian losses is more true about their own. The fact is Ukraine has taken back twice as much territory in a week than Russia took a year to take Bakhmut.

Thank you for excellent comment. Also, I appreciate another map resource. :)
It's a pity that Shortshanks thinks they're the Irish.
“ Russia intends to blow up the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant”
*******************************************************
Sure, just like they blew up the Nord Stream pipeline network and, more recently, the dam. Yes, we really believe this. /sarc
What is the telegram channel link? The t.me/[channel name]/[message number] link?
“Shortshanks thinks they’re the Irish.”
Little putin can’t help his very short stature of between 5ft 2” and 5ft 5” tall. However, he does exhibit the “Napoleon complex or small man syndrome.
This syndrome is mostly attributed to people of short stature that are characterized by overly aggressive or domineering social behavior. This implies Putin’s behavior is compensatory for his subject’s physical or social shortcomings.
