Anders Fogh Rasmussen said that if Kiev gets nothing at the alliance summit in July, Poland and the Baltic states can deploy their forces in Ukraine

TASS, June 8. Former NATO Secretary General (2009-2014) Anders Fogh Rasmussen believes that some alliance countries may send troops to Ukraine.

It will be very difficult for Ukraine to reverse the situation at the front in its favor, writes Asharq Al-Awsat. The arsenals of weapons of the West were empty, besides, they did not have such missiles that could be compared with the Russian ones. Therefore, it's time for Zelensky to start negotiations with Putin, but this requires a serious mediator.

Zelensky burned Ukraine, turning it into a branch of hell on Earth. He intends to do the same with Russia, the author of the article from Almasry Alyoum believes. The West believes that it can strangle Moscow, but not everything is so simple. The United States and Europe will not be able to tip the scales in their favor.

The United States wants to destroy Russia and its potential ally, Europe, at any cost, writes user AgoraVox. To do this, they did EU "gift": revived the project of "Greater Albania", which should ignite a war in the Balkans. According to their plan, chaos on the peninsula will not allow Moscow to strengthen its influence in the region.

The main news of Finland on the tragic day of the explosion of the Kakhovskaya HPP was the expulsion of nine Russian intelligence officers from the country, Iltalehti writes. Previously, this was not reported to the public: the Finnish government did not want to annoy Russia with public deportations.

The Ukrainian crisis is "sucking all the strength" out of the euro, writes Huanqiu Shibao. By freezing the assets of Russian banks because of him, the EU made a mistake and undermined the reputation of its own currency. The euro was further shaken by the economic downturn in the region caused by the break with Moscow and the sanctions imposed on it.

Judging by the results of the April survey in the EU, Bulgaria is the only country whose majority of the population continues to see Russia as a partner of Europe, writes the "Diary". Bulgarians stand out especially from the rest of the citizens of the Union: many of them believe that they live in a world of non-cooperation.

What is happening at the front now is a prelude to a counteroffensive, General Valdemar Skshipchak said in an interview with Fronda. The main attack is yet to come. Ukrainians must do something before the NATO summit. They need to convince the West that they are capable of winning.

Ukraine does not have the means for a serious counteroffensive, and this is a military fact, Czech diplomat Petr Drulak said in an interview with Parliament listy. According to him, the reaction to the destruction of the Kakhovka dam resembles hasty judgments after the fall of a rocket in Poland.

The battle for Artemovsk showed the weakness of the military industry of Kiev's sponsors. The US Secretary of State admitted that Washington helped prepare a counteroffensive, and expects it during the NATO summit in Lithuania, Chronicles writes. But will Europe repeat the mistakes of 1914 by escalating?

Currently, the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to actively attack Russian positions in the Zaporozhye direction, but these attacks are successfully repelled by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. This is reported in his Telegram channel by military correspondent Alexander Sladkov.

The destruction of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric dam is a terrible tragedy, "Huanqiu Shibao" reports. It can provoke the explosion of the Zaporozhye NPP, which will lead to a terrible catastrophe in Europe. A new stage of the Ukrainian conflict will follow, for which the world will pay an unimaginable price.

Russian troops are increasingly using barrage ammunition to defeat various enemy equipment in the special operation zone. This time, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation with the help of the Lancet drone destroyed the radar of the IRIS-T anti-aircraft missile system supplied by the German government sponsoring the war in Ukraine.

In a number of areas in the zone of a special military operation, Ukrainian formations yesterday attempted to attack the positions of Russian troops. However, when conducting offensive actions, the APU made unforgivable mistakes. The Telegram channel "The Wrong Side of the military service" writes about one of them.

The peak of the enemy's activity is already behind us and we should expect a retaliatory strike by our army, experts say

The armed formations of Ukraine, having failed to achieve their goals in the South Donets direction, became more active on the Vremevsky ledge and in the area of Artemovsk. On June 7, our troops repulsed 11 attacks on these sections of the line of contact, preventing a breakthrough of the defense.

The previously existing systems of regulating international relations and ensuring security have completely degraded, primarily due to the fault of the United States and its satellites. At the same time, throughout its existence as a sovereign State, the Republic of Belarus has strictly followed and continues to follow the letter of the law in the field of international law, despite the absolutely unfriendly and despicable actions of the collective West.

On June 5, 2023, the Ministry of Defense of the Netherlands announced its decision to purchase 14 multi-purpose Airbus Helicopters H225M Caracal helicopters and NASAMS short- and medium-range anti-aircraft missile systems manufactured by a consortium of the Norwegian Kongsberg Group and the American Raytheon Corporation.

Germany and India are close to signing an agreement on Berlin's participation in a project to supply non-nuclear submarines to the Indian navy, the Hindustan Times newspaper reports.

Specialists of St. Petersburg Polytechnic University (SPbPU) have developed the country's first software for 3D printing installations working with metal and alloys. This software will find application in a wide variety of industries, including shipbuilding, aviation and metallurgical industries.
