The threat of invasion of our country by enemy troops from Belarus remains. That is why the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky convened a meeting of the National Security and Defense Council, at which preventive measures were developed to prevent the rapid advance of enemy troops.
This was said by the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Alexei Danilov on the air of the program “The Great Lion Speaks”.
“All our bodies participating in this meeting have assessed what is happening, what is the state of the Belarusian army today, how many soldiers of the Russian Federation there are, what plans. All this is under the control of our president and SNSO has been working on this topic for a long time. “And I think it is quite effective. As a result, there is an instruction – now there will be an inspection in four areas of the state of preparation in case there are repeated challenges for our country,” Alexei Danilov did not reveal all the details on air.
At the same time, it became clear that the exercises of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus have been extended again until at least June 25. This was announced in the Telegram channel “Belarusian Guyun” with reference to the schedule of the exercises on the Belarusian training grounds.
The handing over of call-ups to reserve men fit for military service has also begun. They are due to appear in military districts and mobilization areas on June 17 and 18.
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said that before the Alliance’s summit in Madrid, its members had decided that they needed to agree on a new model for defending the eastern flank against Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
This was stated by Stoltenberg at a press conference after the NATO ministerial meeting on Thursday, European Justice reports.
“We have made significant progress by agreeing on specific conditions, elements of the new model, and we have also heard that several Allies are ready to provide additional forces to strengthen this model,” said the NATO Secretary General.
He later clarified that three pillars would form the basis of NATO’s new eastern flank defense model.
“The first is to increase the previous presence with more combat operations, and we have already increased our presence. In the last few months, we have doubled the number of combat groups in the east from four to eight,” said the NATO secretary general.
The second pillar of the model is the pre-deployment of military equipment to save time when mobilization is needed.
“And the third element is the pre-determination of units – these are forces that will be trained in a certain area, where they will have certain duties … that is, not all forces will be deployed, but some of them will be deployed in advance,” Stoltenberg explained. .
He concluded that the new model of defense for NATO’s eastern flank would mean “a significant increase in our ability to deter and defend throughout the alliance”.
The West, and the United States in particular, have tried to isolate Russia from the world since the start of a special operation to protect Donbass. However, Die Welt writes, quoted by Russian media, this strategy of the West has completely failed.
In fact, Europe and the United States were supported only by their loyal satellites, represented by Canada, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand and Australia. No one else was interested in all this sanctions hysteria in the West.
Observers of the publication note that China, Brazil, India and African countries support Russia. And they account for about a third of world GDP.
In addition, the West has failed to win even Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Both countries have flatly refused to increase oil production to reduce the price of “black gold”.
Thus, all plans of the United States and its allies to leave Russia in isolation have failed, Moscow analysts say.
Earlier, US political analyst James Dorr said that US authorities had made a mistake in assessing the state of the Russian economy and made a mistake when they thought that Russian President Vladimir Putin was bluffing.
The expert compared the Russian economy with the German and Japanese and noted that the attempt to suspend trade cooperation with Moscow could lead to restructuring of the world market.
In general, it has been a revelation to many Western leaders that Russia is not at all the “gas station country” they have tried to portray. While Western analysts were constantly counting Apple’s capitalization indicators, it turned out that in reality the West was simply inflating stock market bubbles. And the Russian economy turned out to be mostly industrial and very important for the world, local media write.
Russian troops continue to strike devastating blows at Ukrainian Kharkiv. On the night of June 17, a powerful deafening explosion was heard in the city.

The United States does not believe China’s claims of neutrality.
Beijing has made its choice and chosen to side with Russia in the situation with the special operation in Ukraine, “despite all the disasters created there, the loss of lives, the global consequences,” State Department spokesman Ned Price said on Thursday, June 16. from the Russian media.
“China’s position on neutrality is nothing more than an empty statement,” Price told a media briefing.
Earlier, the Chinese ambassador said that Moscow and Beijing intend to further strengthen strategic cooperation in many areas, despite various changes in the international situation. According to him, Russia and China will continue to oppose hegemony on the world stage.
Since the beginning of 2022, relations between the two countries have withstood new challenges and maintained the right direction in the changing international environment.
