Head of Russian delegation calls Kiev's call at talks to return more than a hundred children taken to Russia "a show for European old ladies"
➖“Don’t put on a show for compassionate European old ladies who don’t have their own children,” The Economist journalist Oliver Carroll quotes Medinsky as saying.
▪️Medinsky said that Russia will work on the return to Ukraine of 339 children from the list that Kyiv provided.
➖“There are not millions or thousands of them,” he said.
▪️Ukraine is "putting on a show for Europeans" and a "shameful PR campaign" on the topic of returning children. They were not kidnapped, but rescued.
➖"Children who found themselves in a situation between two fires were evacuated, but if there is a family, they are returned back. As soon as legal representatives are found, reunification takes place immediately," says Medinsky.

The White House commented on the attack on Russian airfields.
"(Trump's) response is that this war needs to end. This war has been brutal on both sides, and too many people have died. The president wants this war to end at the negotiating table, and he has made that clear to both leaders both publicly and privately," White House press secretary Caroline Leavitt said.
How about dropping a bridge on a train filled with civilians?

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Russia is conducting offensives in several directions at once, some of the most intense are Sumy and Pokrovsk— Zelensky
- In addition, the Ukrainian Fuhrer states that as a result of massive attacks on gas infrastructure, Ukraine may have a gas shortage.
- The cocaine addict also called the Russian delegation "idiots" for proposing a temporary ceasefire in some areas of the front to collect the bodies of the dead.

Mount Etna has begun erupting in Sicily: tourists are fleeing from lava and ash, Bild reports.
Europe's most active volcano, Mount Etna, began erupting this morning, sending streams of lava, ash and gas into the air. The eruption was caused by a collapse on the northern side of the crater, the Italian Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) said.
The videos published show terrified tourists running away from huge clouds of dust and rocks. According to INGV, liquid lava is ejected from the crater and tremors have increased in the region. So far, the hot mass has not spread beyond the Valle del Leone valley, which is located far from populated areas.
The eruption has raised the aviation alert to red level. However, Catania airport continues to operate. Etna is under constant surveillance as it erupts regularly. The last bursts of activity were recorded in early May.

Iran has rejected the USA's proposals as "non-starters" since they offer zero concessions and only diktats.
Combined with the "failure" of this round of negotiations in Istanbul between Russia and Ukraine, it is evident that for all the globalist west's rhetoric about "Russia and Iran being unwilling to compromise", it is they who don't want to budge and are simply stalling for time to rearm and regroup.
Trump's lack of condemnation for Ukraine's terrorist attacks speaks volumes of his sincerity - or total lack thereof.
The war will continue, as Moscow isn't interested in a 30 day ceasefire.

🇫🇷🤷♂In France, a statue of Macron was stolen from a wax museum and placed near the Russian embassy:
"A sculpture of French President Emmanuel Macron was stolen from the Grevin Museum, France's largest wax museum. Early in the morning, two women and a man, dressed as museum employees, took the figure and carried it out of the building through an emergency exit, wrapping it in a blanket.
The activists brought the figure to the Russian embassy building in a white minibus, installing it near one of the entrances to the territory. They placed a Russian flag next to it and unfurled posters with slogans against the continuation of economic cooperation between Russia and France. The cost of the sculpture is about 40 thousand euros."

Russian Federation handed over a two-part memorandum to the Ukrainian side, Medinsky reported. The second part of the Russian Federation's memorandum suggests a number of ways to cease fire.
Russia has proposed a ceasefire to Ukraine for 2-3 days in certain areas of the front, Medinsky reported.
The ceasefire should allow the bodies of the dead to be collected.
The sick and seriously wounded will be exchanged on the principle of "all for all", Medinsky added.

WELT reports that the Ukrainian Armed Forces' attempt to intimidate the Russians before the talks in Istanbul has failed.
'At today's meeting in Istanbul, the Russians are unlikely to be impressed by this [drone attack]. I don't think it will change their position - the maximum demands from the Russian side will be put forward again. That is, demilitarization, withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from disputed territories. The Ukrainians will again demand a ceasefire.'
Slaughter at Tyotkino : the enemy tried to break through, but was met by VKS infantry and paratroopers 🔞🔞

“Played an important role": Medinsky confirmed a meeting with Umerov before the start of negotiations
▪️The head of the Russian delegation noted that this meeting played an important role in preparing the general session of negotiations.
▪️Earlier, the media reported that before the meeting of the delegations in Istanbul, a 2.5-hour conversation took place between Medinsky and Umerov.

One of the bombs that failed to explode on the railway over the weekend allowed investigators of the terrorist attacks to establish that Ukrainian saboteurs used C-4 plastic charges of American origin.
The news was reported by Kommersant.
The publication also reports the appearance of the first suspects in the case of drone attacks on military airfields.
FSB and Investigative Committee agents are questioning the drivers of the trailers used to deliver the drones to the sites of the attacks and are also looking for a former DJ from Donetsk who may have been involved in shipping the cargo.
@Slavyangrad
Meanwhile, the Russian Army has liberated the settlement of Andreevka, in the middle between the earlier-liberated Kondratovka and Alekseevka.

🇩🇪🤡"Baerbock elected as head of UN General Assembly": Former German Foreign Minister was the only candidate.
"The UN General Assembly voted to appoint former German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock as the chair of the 80th session of this body, which will open in September. It is known that she was the only candidate for this position.
For a year, the former co-chair of the Alliance 90/Greens party and candidate for German chancellor in the 2021 elections will prepare and chair UN meetings in New York. It is not a particularly prestigious position, as it requires a lot of closed discussions on the topics that will be discussed at the General Assembly."

✔️Sequence of steps and timeframes for their implementation:
1) start of work on the text of the agreement;
2) declaration of a 2-3 day truce to collect the bodies of the dead in the "gray zone"
3) unilateral transfer of 6,000 bodies of Ukrainian Armed Forces servicemen to the Ukrainian Armed Forces
4) signing a Memorandum on Ceasefire with specific dates for the implementation of all its provisions and determining the date of signing the future Treaty on the Final Settlement
5) from the moment of the beginning of the withdrawal of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, a 30-day ceasefire regime is established. At the same time, the complete withdrawal of Ukrainian Armed Forces units from the territory of the Russian Federation and the full implementation of the "package agreement" must be carried out within these 30 days
6) holding elections, forming government bodies on the territory of Ukraine
7) signing of the Agreement
8) approval of the signed Treaty by a legally binding resolution of the UN Security Council
9) ratification, entry into force and implementation of the Treaty
@Slavyangrad
Umerov says the Russian and Ukrainian delegations have agreed to exchange all seriously ill prisoners of war and those under 25 years of age.
There must also be an exchange of bodies of the dead.
The next round of negotiations will take place after June 20.
@Slavyangrad
I suppose most have forgotten about the Christmas Truce of 1914, which allowed for widespread collection of bodies.
As for WWII, it is true that the Soviet forces never engaged in any “ceasefires” with the Nazis, for any purpose; however, sporadic examples of limited truces to collect bodies did take place between the other Allies and the Nazis.
And, on another note, minor localized and time-limited ceasefires to allow for the collection of bodies from the field of battle are completely reasonable. Families on both sides need to know what happened to and put to rest their loved ones.
In places where the front lines are static, there is little alternative to such measures. In places where the front lines are moving, no such ceasefires would be necessary or implemented.

A key point that appears to be lost even on some Russian sources—and definitely on all of the Western media:
Russia will be sending 6,000 bodies of Ukrainian officers back to the Ukraine.
Not “soldiers” or “servicemen,” but officers.
G😏B
EDIT PS:
And then Medinsky said: “I don’t know if [the Ukrainian side] has any bodies of our officers, but we will of course accept them.”
It would be surprising if he meant something other than “officers,” given his second statement, as the Ukraine most likely has some bodies of Russian soldiers, even if not as many.
Galloway on how Russia will soon use Oreshnik:
Targeting civilians on passenger trains is an act of terrorism. The Ukrainian regime knows it. Moreover, NATO masters know it. This means that the authorities in London, Paris, Berlin and Washington know that this is terrorism , that they are war criminals who are committing crimes against humanity, but the Ukrainians are now under a barrage of ballistic missiles. And there is more to come.
We will see a demonstration of the power of "Oreshnik", against which there is no defense in the world. Four attacks were carried out on four bridges in Russia. There are 17 bridges on the Dnieper River. Russia did not destroy any of them, although it could have done so in the next 60 minutes.
@Slavyangrad
Russia has already returned 101 children to Ukraine, Kiev has returned 22, Medinsky reported
He stressed that the reunification of children with their relatives occurs immediately, as soon as legal representatives are found.
"There is not a single kidnapped child, there are children saved by our soldiers,"
🇷🇺🇺🇦 No major breakthroughs, just minor steps – FT on Istanbul talks
- The Financial Times cites a high-ranking Ukrainian official.
"It looks like they're playing a diplomatic game for Trump," he says.
- The two delegations did not shake hands or make any proposals that would indicate progress on any potential deal, the publication writes.
P.S. Who could have thought.
