Donbass is once again under a heavy fire from the Ukrainian Nazis. They use MLRS and long-range artillery, some of which were made by the NATO countries.

The air defense forces were busy in the city of Donetsk. The locals reported about explosions in some parts of the city.

3 China

On 14th of June, a number of mass media outlets reported on the Chinese plans to conduct a special operation in Taiwan. The Chinese state-run newspaper ’’Global Times’’ reported recently that the Chinese forces have been given the right to conduct special operations in order to prevent threats, maintain peace, and protect sovereignty. The newspaper noted that it doesn’t cover a full scale war. The experts believe that the legal basis for taking over Taiwan comes from the directive, signed by Xi Jinping, on 13th of June. The directive is aimed at protecting the lives and property of the people, the sovereignty, security, and interests of China. As well as the world peace and stability in the region. The set of provisions, consisting of 6 chapters and 59 articles, will serve as the legal basis for non-military actions, and will enter into force on 15th of June. China has reacted to the recent US decision to increase the military aid to Taiwan. The spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Defense, Wu Qian, stated that Beijing is ready for a military action in case if any country tries to separate Taiwan from China.

4 Ukraine

During an interview with the ’’ZDF’’, Vladimir Zelenskiy criticized the German Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, for the German position in the Ukraininian crisis. «Olaf Scholz and his government must make a decision. There should be no attempts to maintain a balance in the relations between Ukraine and Russia» — Zelensky explained and condemned Germany for the fact that Germany began to help Ukraine much later than the other countries, such as the USA, the UK, and Eastern EU countries. According to him, Berlin should act more directly, and abandon the approach in which it is possible to continue the relations with both Ukraine and Russia, in order to reduce the damage to Germany. When asked about Olaf Scholz’s possible trip to Kiev, Vladimir Zelensky replied that the chancellor shouldn’t limit himself to photographs. He urged him to announce, during his visit, more sanctions against Russia, and increase the support for Ukraine as an EU candidate.
