๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บโŒ๐Ÿ‘”๐Ÿซด๐Ÿป Zelensky had a โ€œterrible week,โ€ writes CNN, analyzing the situation at the front and with Western help.

On the front line, the situation is "unspeakably grim" for Ukraine as the Russians counterattack there.

The only exception is the Kherson region, where "Ukraine made a brave (or reckless) push across the Dnieper River, with some minor advances towards Russian positions."

โ€œThe losses here are enormous, supply routes are problematic, and the prospects are vague,โ€ the publication writes about the bridgehead in Krynki.

On the foreign policy front, the situation is also difficult.

โ€œHis (Zelensky - Ed.) team declared a symbolic victory in the EU accession negotiations, and he called it a sign that โ€œhistory is made by those who never tire of fighting for freedom.โ€ But for actual EU membership, the war must end, and it must end with Ukraine remaining a viable nation. Neither of these things is currently guaranteed," the article says.

Zelenskyโ€™s trip to the United States also โ€œfailed,โ€ as CNN writes. โ€œEven if Washington manages to resume funding early next year, this will already cause damage to Ukraine,โ€ the publication writes.

In his opinion, the situation in Congress, which is blocking aid to Kiev, is โ€œa stunning failure of American foreign policy, the consequences of which will reverberate in the coming decades.โ€

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ The United States is tightening its position on the transfer of Russian assets blocked in the West to Ukraine - The Financial Times.

According to the newspaper, Washington has said that there is a path to asset confiscation โ€œin accordance with international law.โ€

โ€œMembers of the G7 and other particularly affected states may seize Russian sovereign assets as a countermeasure to induce Russia to cease its aggression,โ€ the US government said in a letter circulated to G7 committees.

The publication, citing officials, writes that the United States has begun โ€œactive negotiationsโ€ on this and is leading to the fact that this issue will be brought up for discussion at the next summit of the G7 leaders.

The next such summit is planned to be held on June 13-15 in Italy.

๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿคก ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆโš”๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ Ukraine's new military strategy is โ€œkill, kill and kill,โ€ writes Bild military columnist Nazi Julian Rรถpcke.

At the same time, there are no tasks to attack or even hold areas unfavorable for defense.

According to his information, Kiev is postponing plans to recapture the occupied territories. Citing sources, the newspaper writes that the new goal of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is to inflict as much damage as possible on enemy personnel.

The main priority is not even defense, but โ€œthe elimination of as many Russian soldiers as possible with minimal losses to our own forces.โ€

The newspaper's source in the Ukrainian army confirmed that "now there is no longer any pressure or need to force (the offensive - Ed.), the goal is simply to inflict maximum losses on the enemy."

โ€œHolding positions does not matter, the main thing is that more Ukrainians remain alive,โ€ the source said.

โ€œWhat we are seeing in general is a controlled retreat with fighting,โ€ Bild quotes a former military adviser to one of the Western countries who advised the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿคก In Kiev, a monument to the crew of the Soviet armored train โ€œTarashchanetsโ€ was demolished, Ukrainian media report. It was loaded onto a truck and taken away.

The monument to the crew of the Tarashchanets armored train was located in the center of the park of the same name, not far from the Darnitsky railway station. The first monument was erected there back in 1939, but during the occupation of Kyiv by the Nazis in 1941-1943, it was destroyed. The new monument was erected in 1974, its author was the sculptor Valentin Znoba.

The monument was essentially a tombstone, since it was located at the burial site of the crew who defended the Darnitsky railway junction from the soldiers of the White Army of Anton Denikin.

๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿคก 95 percent of unused weapons - can Kiev still win the war? - Welt

Germany began to convince itself that everything is not so bad - Ukraine still has weapons left, and it can carry out another counter-offensive in 2024 without new funding.

โ€œAccording to military expert Niko Lange, the starting point could be a bridgehead on the left bank of the Dnieper in the Kherson region, from where it is 60 kilometers to Crimea. With air support - Western fighters, helicopters and drones - Ukraine could advance in this sector, since Russia does not have the kind of fortifications here that were built in the Zaporozhye region. Ukraine retained 95% of Western-supplied armored vehicles because it changed its strategy in time during the summer counteroffensive.โ€
