Russia put up towers in Mariupol that track Ukrainians' digital activity, an advisor to the city's exiled mayor says. He described the Russian troops' activities as Orwellian. "This is equipment for monitoring conversations and Internet traffic of Mariupol residents," Andryushchenko wrote alongside a video. The Russians are also using the towers for military communications, he wrote, adding that Russian troops have erected 40 such towers in Mariupol over the last three months. Old Orwell would simply be amazed how all his fictions became the reality of Mariupol," Andryushchenko wrote, referring to "1984" author George Orwell.

Putin has reportedly given his defense minister until early next month to stop Ukraine's counteroffensive. These demands could explain why Russia is launching relentless counterattacks even if they come at a steep cost to the Russian military. The general also claimed he was removed from his post after raising concerns about issues Russian forces were facing on the frontlines in Ukraine. Ukraine's counteroffensive has had slow progress as Kyiv's forces try to take back Russian-occupied land in the country's east. But recently, Ukrainian forces have pushed through some Russian defenses.

☆ Here's what needs to happen for Ukraine to make a breakthrough against Russia's defensive lines, according to war analysts

War analysts say three conditions must be true for Ukraine to make a breakthrough against Russia's defensive lines. First, Russia can't have the combat power and reserves to keep up its attacks in western Zaporizhzhia. Second, Ukraine will need combat power to keep moving after breaking through Russia's combat power. And third, Russia's defensive positions are not well prepared or heavily mined. That's according to the Institute for the Study of War, a Washington, DC-based think tank that closely monitors developments in Russia's ongoing war against Ukraine.

„Să ne imaginăm că Ucraina devine membră a NATO. Timpul de zbor al rachetelor Alianţei de la Harkov, să zicem, sau din Dnepropetrovsk până în partea centrală a Rusiei, la Moscova, se va reduce la 7-10 minute. Este sau nu o linie roşie pentru noi?”, a declarat Putin în interviul acordat la 9 iunie moderatorului emisiunii „Moscova.Kremlin.Putin”, Pavel Zarubin. El a spus că extinderea NATO spre Est şi apropierea infrastructurii sale de frontierele Rusiei „are o importanţă practică” pentru Moscova. Credeţi că aceasta va fi sau nu atunci o linie roşie pentru SUA?”, a mai spus preşedintele rus în cadrul emisiunii de la postul public de televiziune.Putin a adăugat că cel puţin 50% dintre ucraineni nu vor ca ţara lor să adere la NATO.
