Activity in Russian-occupied Areas
Quote:
Russian occupation authorities continued measures to set conditions for administrative control of occupied areas on June 10. Ukraine’s Southern Operational Command reported that Russian-backed political collaborators in Kherson Oblast initiated a new wave of unspecified preparations for a referendum on the annexation of occupied territories directly into Russia.[21] Russian occupation authorities are additionally exerting greater control through the education sector and Russian officials are reportedly planning to retrain teachers in the Donbas using Russian curricula.[22] Advisor to the Mayor of Mariupol Petro Andryushchenko similarly reported that occupation authorities in Mariupol have begun importing Russian textbooks into schools in the city.[23] Despite Russian efforts to consolidate control of occupied areas through educational means, occupation authorities are still largely unable to provide adequate social or medical services for residents of occupied territories, and the medical system in Mariupol is reportedly near collapse as a result of mismanagement by Russian authorities
Anyway, reading this morning that Lavrov said with a straight face (and if anyone has a straight face it is this man), that “the war didn’t create the food crisis, Ukraine did."

Biden throws Zelensky under the bus, said he tried to warn Zelensky, but he refused to believe all of the invasion warnings and didn'twant to hear Biden pleading with him to prepare.
Biden is such a clown. At least with Trump, you knew his ramblings would usually shoot himself in the foot. Biden is like Alec Baldwin. Never know who he will hit.
Zelensky's comment was that he knew the Russians were coming but underestimated the scale, as did most everyone in Europe. And he asked Biden for sanctions, but Biden didn't want to hear him.

Sanctions are useless when you have countries like France who was selling military weapons to Russia right up until the invasion of Ukraine ignoring the sanctions for taking Crimea. If Putin were to stop further activity and keep the land he has captured France would ignore the sanctions again same thing with Turkey, and India.
This is why Biden had to wait until Russia actually attempted to take Kiev.
It looks more and more like Ukraine is abandoned by the West. Instead of wavering, the West should provide more weapons for Ukraine to finish off Russian invaders once and for all. They should realize that a loss for Ukraine is a loss for the West as well. A defeat for Ukraine says weapons of the West are inferior to Russian weapons. A defeat for Ukraine gives Russia control of Ukrainian industrial bases and many Ukrainian resources and let Russia dictates who can buy and at what price.
It would be very shortsighted for the West to abandon Ukraine.
