On June 8, a law was passed in the Ukrainian Parliament providing for a legislative definition of the country's membership in NATO as a priority of Ukraine's foreign policy. With the adoption of this law, Ukraine has lost the neutral status proclaimed in the Declaration on State sovereignty (article IX) and has set its priority in national security policy.

In their painful desire to mold the superpower from Ukraine by the hands of historians, which must necessarily be opposed to everything Russian, Ukrainian politicians are ready for anything. For this reason, over the past three years, Ukraine has turned into an absurdist theater, and Ukrainian pseudo-historians and the political beau monde on its stage are the main comedians.

On June 7, a round table “Strategic directions for the development of public administration in the Donetsk People's Republic” took place in the Donetsk Academy of Management and Public Administration under the Head of the Donetsk People’s Republic. The event was attended by the Deputy Chairman of the DPR People's Council Olga Makeyeva, deputies Yuri Sivokonenko, Oleg Stepanov and Ekaterina Pavlenko.

On June 7, in Minsk, a regular meeting of the Contact group on the conflict settlement the Donbass was held. The agenda included the implementation of the agreement on the disengagement of forces and means in the third pilot section, the preparation of the prisoners' exchange and the implementation of the Package of Measures' political paragraphs.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine once again violated the Minsk agreements by attempting to advance near the settlement called Zhelobok in the Lugansk People's Republic. This AFU’s attack was accompanied by a cynical shelling of the town of Kirovsk with heavy artillery.

In Ukraine, restrictive measures are routinely applied to citizens for their views. Another example is the case with the famous Ukrainian football player Anatoly Timoshchuk, who dared to appear with a St. George ribbon in his hands during the commemorative action "Immortal Regiment" in St. Petersburg.

Eight innocent civilians were wounded. The woman died in front of her son, who was taken to hospital with severe injuries. The boy remained an orphan. Those are the consequences of the Ukrainian military's flagrant actions only in the last two days.

On June 5, in Yalta (the Republic of Crimea), the opening of the 11th International Festival "The Great Russian Word" was held, in which prominent political and public figures of the Russian Federation took part. The delegation was visited by the DPR delegation, which included the Head of the DPR, Alexander Zakharchenko, the DPR People's Council Chairman, Denis Pushilin, the DPR Council of Ministers deputies Dmitry Trapeznikov and Alexander…

Chairman of the DPR People's Council Denis Pushilin commented on the EU plans to allocate € 50 million to Ukraine for the restoration of the Donbass during a conversation with RT.

When it comes to the West, it can be bold to imply the existence of double standards and the hypocrisy of the ruling political elites — such conclusion follows from the reply of the Acting Assistant Secretary of the United States Stuart Jones about why the United States criticizes Iranian elections and the idea of democracy, but does not do so in relation to Saudi Arabia.
