Casualties at the highest level since battle for Bakhmut, UK says. Bradley's infantry support armored vehicle

London, June 18.– Russia has suffered its highest losses since the peak of the battle for Bakhmut in March, British officials said on Sunday. The UK military said both sides are suffering high numbers of military casualties as Ukraine fights to dislodge the Kremlin's forces from occupied areas in the early stages of its counter-offensive.

The offensive is supported by Bradley and Leopard tanks and heavy artillery. Meanwhile, Spain confirmed earlier this week that it would send 20 armored vehicles and four more Leopard 2A4 main battle tanks to Ukraine.

To protect its interests in the South China Sea, the Philippines must delicately balance its relationship with China and the United States. But the government’s eagerness to boost U.S. military partnership has some Filipinos rethinking where that balance lies.

Subic, Philippines.– For years, fishing in the South China Sea has been both dangerous and difficult for Filipinos due to the increasing number of Chinese vessels encroaching on the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone – but recent military drills off the country’s western coast are giving some fisherfolk hope.

Leonildo Moralde, a commercial fisherman in Subic, Philippines, says access to the resource-rich lagoons and islets became harder under former President Rodrigo Duterte, who maintained a China-friendly posture throughout his term.

Russia is not complying with the Court's rulings, including the non-payment of just satisfaction

Strasbourg, June 08.– The Council of Europe’s Committee of Ministers has reiterated the Russian Federation’s unconditional legal obligation to implement judgments of the European Court of Human Rights and to pay ‘just satisfaction’ awarded by the Court.

The President of the Committee of Ministers made a statement on this issue, and the Council of Europe Secretary General sent a further letter to the Russian Foreign Minister, following the Committee’s latest quarterly meeting on the execution of judgments from the European Court.

Four groups of Russian cases and two Georgia v. Russia interstate cases were examined by the Committee at the meeting. They concerned violations found in the Transdniestrian region of the Republic of Moldova and inadequate preparation of hostage-rescue operations resulting in loss of life and injuries in both the Dubrovka Theatre and in the hostage-taking crisis in Beslan in 2004, as well as criminal convictions based on an unfair trial and an arbitrary application of criminal law in cases concerning Aleksey Navalnyy.

The combat against Russian positions south of Zaporizhzhia included western-supplied tanks and armored vehicles and infantry backed by artillery. Ukrainian units were reported breaking through in the Orihiv-Tokmak sector, which blocks the route to the Russian-occupied city of Melitopol – a key objective for Kyiv. Intense fighting is taking place outside of the town of Tokmak, a key Russian logistical hub.

Kyiv, June 8.– Kyiv has committed German-made tanks into battle against Russian positions in south-eastern Ukraine, launching the first heavily armored assaults of its long-anticipated counter-offensive.

Two army personnel, two Western officials in Kyiv, and military analysts said the moves were a clear sign that, after months of preparations and training, Ukraine’s summer push to liberate occupied territory had begun in earnest.

Kherson, June 6.– The dam is located upstream from the city of Kherson on the Dnipro River in southern Ukraine. Russia controls territory on the left bank of the river. The right bank is held by Ukraine.

The 2km-long dam has a road running along its top and is about 30 meters high. It powers the Kakhovka hydroelectric plant, a major energy producer, and holds back a reservoir containing 18 cubic km of water, which in turn feeds the north Crimea canal. The canal carries drinking water to Russian-occupied Crimea.
