In his speech, Russian President Vladimir Putin condemned recurring attempts to “distort the truth” about World War II. In a thinly veiled rebuke of the West, he added that this truth “interferes with those who are accustomed to building their essentially colonial policy on hypocrisy and lies.”
“Revanchism, mockery of history, the desire to exonerate the current followers of the Nazis are part of the general policy of Western elites of inciting more and more regional conflicts, interethnic and interreligious hostility, and restraining the development of sovereign independent states,” Putin said.
Moscow, the president continued, rejects the claims of any state or alliance to exceptionalism. “Russia will do everything to prevent a global conflict, but at the same time we will not allow anyone to threaten us,” he added. - RT

most Ukrainian officers and officials are no longer fighting for 2022 or 1991 borders, but rather for simple survival:
Konstantinovka is the next big strategic center after Chasov Yar whose importance likely even eclipses that of Bakhmut, as Konstantinovka and its neighboring Druzhkovka have classically been the headquarters of the entire Ukrainian ATO/JFO since 2014:
In the meantime, Russia continues its infrastructural strikes, with a large one occurring the night before last. Ukraine’s energy grid authority Ukrenergo admitted several key power plants were again hit, this time in the west of the country, and “extensively damaged”:
A separate report claimed that “all major thermal power plants controlled by Ukraine have now been destroyed or severely damaged” and that “Hydroelectric generation plants are next to reduce the flexibility of Ukraine's grid. After which Ukraine will rely on 3 nuclear power plants and imports from EU countries.”
And Russian forces continue to advance a good deal each day. The latest in Krasnogorovka, which is now almost fully enveloped in a cauldron:
Isn’t it interesting how Ukrainian brigades all started at 5000-6000 men and are now mostly operating at 1000-2500 at most, while Russian brigades balloon from 2500 to 11k? And yet they tell us it’s Russia that’s taking the “unbearable losses”.
A quite unexpectedly rare sight occurred at the parade. A medaled Russian formation comprised of real SMO veterans took part. Consider the significance: these are among the only truly living decorated soldiers in the world who can lay claim to having fought and survived a real war. No other country presently can march real live, active duty, decorated heroes who’ve tasted real combat of this sort: - Simplicius
