It is part of Public Knowledge already! The AFU announced it was a Radio Interception.
North Korean soldiers may soon appear on Ukraine battlefield. It would give them invaluable experience of modern warfare, Russian media say
Why aren't eu nations supplying Ukraine with electricity? I don't get how a democracy can live without power in 21st century. It's rather barbaric.
Slava ukraini
Deliberately leaking un-substantiated propaganda on "alleged' …again in-substantiated atrocities is tantamount to subversion, and should be treated as such in the future when the truth be known!
South Korea is in for a ride now.
Blatant unabashed PROPAGANDA, innuendo, rumour and possibly, given the aforementioned, …LIES!
Ukraine has lost the war. The war now is between warmongers, NATO and Russia. NATO is now bringing us into WW3
The problem with Western commentators think the World starts and stops with them…there is a world out there outside the West where people are happy
So Francis was the US desperate when Donald Trump visited North Korea…sometimes your reasoning capacity needs to be questioned

Thanks Francis, and thanks for pointing out the article by Neil Ferguson – the similarities are depressing and absolutely food for thoughts! This episodes was not uplifting today, it pulled in your emotions, from anger to frustration to tears.
If Ukraine does not concentrate on defensive warfare and keep trying to be offensive because of politics. They're going to lose this war sooner than anyone thought
Putin is so desperate lol!
The Russian military launched early on June 20 yet another group strike against Ukraine in retaliation to recent attempts by the Kiev regime to damage Russian energy facilities.
In a statement, the Russian Ministry of Defense said that precision-guided air-launched missiles and drones were used in the group strike which targeted Ukrainian power facilities used in the production of weaponry for Kiev forces.
“The goal of the strike has been achieved,” the ministry said in its daily briefing. “All the assigned targets have been engaged.”
The Ukrainian Air Force said that the Russian military attacked Ukraine with nine missiles and 27 drones. As usual, it claimed that Ukrainian air defenses shot down all the drones and five missiles. However, Ukrainian officials reported losses in several regions.
Ukraine’s national power company, Ukrenerho, said that four regions were targeted in the course of the latest Russian group strike.
“Equipment was damaged at energy facilities in the Vinnytsya, Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, and Kyiv regions,” Ukrenerho said in a message on Telegram.
In addition, Ukraine’s largest private energy company, DTEK, said that one of its thermal power plants sustained “serious damage” as a result of the strike.
“This is already the seventh mass attack on the company’s thermal power plant in the last three months,” DTEK said on Telegram, without disclosing the location of the facility.
The group strike came following an overnight Ukrainian drone attack on Russia. More than a dozen drones were intercepted by Russian air defenses. Only minor damage was reported at two oil depots in the regions of Adygea and Tambov.
The Kiev regime intensified drone attacks on Russian territory in the last few months. In response, the Russian military resumed large-scale group strikes against military infrastructure and affiliated power facilities in Ukraine last March and launched a limited ground operation in the Kharkiv region in May.
china just got surrounded two evils……central committee must be concerned surely
Francis, that is the best description of North Korea I have ever heard! Applaud 👏
Putin's alliance with North Korea is the best advertisement of Russia's descent into tyranical dictatorship and the enslavement of their respective populations in service of a omnipotent elite who are intent on keeping themselves in power in order to enjoy luxury and enrichment.
Power cut yesterday in Dnipro.😮
Slight correction here: The Storm Shadow/Scalp cruise missile is a joint UK/FRANCE development. But from the UK it is about the same heading.
The journalist posed very comfortable and uninteresting questions. She looked flattery before the president's wife.
Does this mean that Putin gets to use North Koreans as cannon fodder in Ukraine?
Does Russia have unlimited stocks of S300 missiles? Why are they using air defense missiles to attack ground targets?
It's a European war on European soil, and Ukraine 🇺🇦 should not be shouldering the burden alone. All European countries should be sending troops to Ukraine!
The Russian plan is probably to liberate Kharkov and turn it back into the capital of Ukraine and proclaim western parts as rogue breakaway provinces. Reinstall Yanukovitj who is the elected president.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I bet the russians r scared of tge govnas and there 20,000 man army?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Putin signed the Budapest memorandum so anything he signed and agreed to isn’t worth the paper it’s written on 🙄
Украинские нацисты отрезали головы русским военнопленным, снимали это на видео и выкладывали в интернет. А сейчас, через два года, все перевернули: якобы русские отрезают головы и издеваются над военнопленными.
Украинские военнопленные не хотят возвращаться на Украины. В России они в тепле, накормлены, им хорошо, а на Украину попадут, их сразу на фронт отправят, а затем пополнять европейский банк трансплантации органов.
Найдены камеры пыток, в которых украинские нацисты издевались и убивали жителей Донбасса.
Вам будет стыдно за поддержку нацистской Украины, когда эта информация станет общедоступной.
Украина прекратила свое существование, когда начала убивать своих граждан на востоке страны.
Если бы ведущий не был столь пристрастным, он бы знал, что Владимир Путин уже встречался с Ким Чен Ыном и не раз.
