Putin must not win in Ukraine, Russian dissident Kara-Murza says
Kara-Murza was released from a Russian penal colony on Aug. 1 as part of a historic prisoner exchange between the West and Russia. He had been sentenced to 25 years in prison in April 2023 for condemning Russia's all-out war in Ukraine.
"Vladimir Putin must not be allowed to win this war in Ukraine," #Kara-Murza said at the press conference, organized jointly by #RUSI and the Global Magnitsky #Justice Campaign.
"More than that, he must not be allowed to have a face-saving exit from this war."

'Would you blame Hungarians for Soviet invasion?' - Von der Leyen criticizes those who 'muddy the waters' on Ukraine
"They blame the war not on the invader but on the #invaded. Not on (Vladimir) Putin's lust for power, but on Ukraine's thirst for freedom," von der Leyen said at the Globsec conference in Prague, attended by the Kyiv Independent.
"So I want to ask them: would you ever blame the Hungarians for the Soviet #invasion of 1956? Would you ever blame the Czechs for the #Soviet oppression of 1968?"
"The #Kremlin's behavior was #evil and atrocious back then, and it is evil and atrocious today," the #EU official said.
Von der Leyen also criticized Europe's pre-2022 "illusion" that greater economic integration with Russia would lead to more stability.

UN reports over 95% of Ukrainian prisoners of war were tortured in Russia
#Ukrainian prisoners of war are #tortured from the very first interrogation. They are beaten with metal rods and sticks, stripped naked and severely electrocuted. This is horrible. This is undoubtedly the worst thing I’ve seen in 20 years of my career while visiting the POWs on behalf of the UN.
This happened to more than 95% of Ukrainian POWs. These are #WarCrimes

Polish foreign minister proposes seizing $321 billion in frozen Russian assets
Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski on June 29 proposed seizing all 300 billion euros ($321 billion) in frozen Russian sovereign assets to win "the escalation game" with Russia.
"We need to re-learn how to champion the escalation game," Sikorsky said during a lecture at the Ditchley Foundation in the U.K. Russian dictator Vladimir #Putin has already written the frozen assets off, he does not expect to get them back. But he also doesn’t think we have the fortitude to take hold of them either. So far, we have proven him right."

Russia suffered 'astronomical' losses on Kharkiv front, NATO source suggests
Russia suffered "astronomical" losses while attempting to advance in Kharkiv Oblast, European Pravda reported on June 13, citing a NATO official who spoke on condition of anonymity during a NATO defense ministers meeting in Brussels.
Russia launched a new offensive on May 10 in northern Kharkiv Oblast in a push that involved as many as 30,000 troops, according to a Ukrainian official.
Russian forces have so far advanced less than 10 kilometers into Ukrainian territory and have not managed to seize control of Vovchansk, a city with a pre-2022 population of around 17,000.
"I would also add that the gains in Kharkiv Oblast seem to have come at a rather high price for Russia," European Pravda cited the NATO official.
"Russia likely suffered losses of almost 1,000 people a day in May, which is quite an astronomical figure," the official reportedly said, referring to the number of fatalities.

Bloomberg: Russia sends students from Africa to fight in its war against Ukraine
According to the #Bloomberg report, Russian officials have been threatening African students and young workers not to extend their visas unless "they agree to join the military." Such a tactic was first deployed by the Russian Wagner mercenary group, Bloomberg reported.
While Russia has also been enlisting convicts, some Africans on work visas "have been detained and forced to decide between deportation or fighting," Bloomberg cited an anonymous European official.
"Some of those people had been able to #bribe officials to stay in the country and still avoid military service," the report reads.
This is not the first time the Russian military is reported to have started bringing prisoners, migrants, and foreign nationals into its ranks.

UPDATED: Russian 'double-tap' terrorism strike north of Kharkiv kills 7, including pregnant woman
Russian troops attacked a recreation center in a northern suburb of Kharkiv at around 11 a.m. local time, killing six civilians, including a pregnant woman, and wounding 27, the Kharkiv Regional Prosecutor's Office said on May 19.
Kharkiv Oblast Governor Oleh Syniehubov then said on May 20 that the casualties had risen to seven dead and 28 wounded after a man's body was found.
The strike took place in Mala Danylivka, roughly 70 kilometers southwest of the fiercely contested Vovchansk.
A paramedic was among the wounded, and an ambulance was damaged, he added.
In a later post on Telegram, Syniehubov said Russian forces had fired two Iskander ballistic missiles in a #double-tap strike – a common Russian tactic in which a target is struck once and then again shortly after, the second strike deliberately targeting rescue workers.
