Russian troops are preparing for an intensified summer offensive, concentrating 160,000 personnel near the front line. They have made little progress, improving positions to cut off Ukrainian troops in Pokrovsk, Kostiantynivka, and Kupyansk.

House Representative Buddy Carter nominated Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize for his role in ending the conflict between Israel and Iran. Trump, according to Carter, played a key role in achieving a truce and preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.

On June 22, 2025, 107 combat engagements took place on the front, 36 of which were in the Pokrovsk direction. Russian troops also carried out numerous missile and air strikes and used kamikaze drones.

Oleksiy Reznikov emphasized that conventional weapons from the US are no longer a decisive factor, as Ukraine's European partners have increased arms supplies for defense. He added that the war is changing, and drones are coming to the fore, effectively destroying enemy equipment at a low cost.

Former Minister of Defense of Ukraine Oleksii Reznikov believes that the statement by the Russian Ministry of Defense about the offensive on the Dnipropetrovsk region has political significance. He claims that this is being done to raise the stakes in negotiations and create the illusion of fulfilling "SMO goals" for the domestic audience, as the economic situation in Russia is critical.

According to former Minister of Defense Oleksiy Reznikov, Russian negotiators behave politely, but are not authorized to make decisions and are merely a mouthpiece for the Kremlin, afraid to relay "bad news" to the top. They do not inform Moscow about the real situation at the front, which became evident during an attempt to organize an exchange of bodies of the fallen.

Former Minister of Defense Oleksiy Reznikov believes that Donald Trump seeks to end the war in Ukraine for the sake of the Nobel Peace Prize. Trump positions himself as a mediator, not taking any side, and tries various methods to achieve negotiations.

In Ivano-Frankivsk, a man bit a TCC soldier on the leg when he tried to check his documents. The detainee turned out to be a resident of Kherson region who did not register.

Ex-Minister Omelyan stated that the anti-corruption activities of the CPC and Shabunin led to the substitution of reforms, increasing corruption. He added that no high-ranking official has been punished.
