On this day in 1940 USSR occupied Lithuania to prevent them forming “anti-soviet government”. This was followed by “Elections” that were “won” by pro-USSR party who “voted to join USSR”.
Imagine doing that in today’s day and age…

On this day 1940 USSR invaded Estonia & Latvia to prevent them "forming an anti-Soviet alliance" in an operation that had absolutely nothing to do with a secret clause in our first treaty with Nazis.
Imagine today invading smaller neighbours for completely made up reasons…

“Elections" with the presence of Russian soldiers followed, then a "request" to join the USSR.
Does this sound familiar?

And just like that.... it was over.
Some say this is all about Prigozhin - a combination of greed, hubris, ambition, PTSD. Maybe feeling used an abused. They say he developed political ambitions of his own and thought he could take on the Russian MOD.
Some say Prigozhin was bought off or compromised by the west, to launch this distraction at a critical time during Ukraine's offensive, while NATO will be considering more money to Ukraine
Some say this was all a big Russian psyop, that allowed Russia and Belarus to ID treasonous forces and also to move troops north to near Kharkov without anyone noticing in all of the confusion.
NOTE to Kasparov: There are no Ukrainian 'victories
EDITED TO ADD: Whatever is going on behind the scenes it's clear that Prigozhin was, and is, being handled with kid gloves. He's been mouthing off for months, calling out Shoigu and Gerasimov and claiming (falsely it seems) that Russian troops turned and ran, that the MoD wasn't supplying him with enough munitions and weapons, that a Russian military group fired on his troops, and (most recently) that Russian troops struck one of his camps with a missile. All of this should have had him brought up on charges a long time ago. Maybe the Kremlin knew he was falling apart and needed him to finish Bakhmut B4 they cut him loose. Maybe Prigozhin has some sort of deal with, or Kompromat on, Putin. Maybe Shoigu and/ or Gerasimov are as incompetent as claimed.

The meaning of Prigozhin’s short-lived mutiny
Vladimir Putin’s inability to prevent it means he failed at his most important task
https://www.economist.com/leaders/2023/06/25/the-meaning-of-prigozhins
-short-lived-mutiny
IN THE SPRING of 2022, at the moment when it became clear that Russia’s invasion had begun to falter, the generals planning Ukraine’s campaign grasped that their resistance on the battlefield could turn Russian commanders against each other. Infighting and disunity, they calculated, would be a crucial step in bringing home to Russia and its people that the war was unwinnable—and that the country was paying an intolerable price to satisfy the vanity of their president, Vladimir Putin. It was one route to victory.
Little can they have imagined that their wishes would be so spectacularly fulfilled. On the evening of June 23rd Yevgeny Prigozhin mutinied, along with his irregular troops in the Wagner mercenary group. Over the next 24 hours, they captured Rostov-on-Don, Russia’s ninth-largest city, and embarked on a lightning-fast 1,000km charge towards Moscow, before striking a deal and turning around with about 200km to go. Having criticised the botched invasion, Mr Prigozhin was calling for the defence minister and the chief of the general staff to be sacked.
It is still unclear whether either man has gone, or is about to. But Mr Prigozhin, who has apparently gone into exile in Belarus (for the time being, at least), has inflicted severe damage on Mr Putin and his war. Wagner’s troops are supposedly going back to the bases they left on June 23rd. By contrast, Russia and its weakened president find themselves stuck in dangerous new territory. Tactically, the war will be harder to fight. Strategically, it will be harder to win. And Mr Putin’s leadership has been gravely undermined.
In terms of tactics, the Wagner mutiny has divided and distracted the Russian army. In the trenches its men will know that, while they are being ordered to give up their lives for a war that Mr Prigozhin has branded as corrupt, their commanders are squabbling among themselves over power and influence. In the barracks officers will be splitting their attention between the war and their own futures. They know that, if there is a power struggle, they need to end up on the right side.
For Ukraine, by contrast, the mutiny is an opportunity. Its counter-offensive, now three weeks old, has fallen behind schedule. Although most Ukrainian forces still remain in reserve, progress has been hard. There could be no better moment to break through Russian lines. It is surely no accident that the Ukrainians appear to be trying to retake Bakhmut, purchased with the blood of thousands of Wagner troops and which ordinary Russians perceive as their side’s only gain over the past year. If Ukraine wins back the town, it will underline Mr Prigozhin’s message to ordinary Russians that Mr Putin and his generals are failing.
Secondly, the mutiny has undermined Russia’s strategy. Ever since his initial assault failed, Mr Putin’s theory of victory has been that the West would come to believe that backing Ukraine is a waste of money and effort. However, Mr Prigozhin has shown that time may not be on Mr Putin’s side after all.
Russia cannot just keep doing the same thing over and over again. Now that Wagner has shown how thin Russia’s defences are, Mr Putin needs to reinvigorate his command and replenish his troops. And yet, if he embarks on a fresh mobilisation, he risks stirring up popular discontent. When Mr Putin stands in front of a camera and insists that his “special military operation” is proceeding according to plan, he wants to send the message that he will never, ever back down. After Mr Prigozhin’s escapade, he risks coming across as deluded.
That leads to the third and

Nuclear Falseflag on Zaporozhye NPP Heats Up + Major Wagner Updates and More
Simplicius The Thinker
Jun 25, 2023
The situation can only be considered urgent as Ukraine has now made their full intentions crystal clear. If before we suspected with high confidence, now it is plain fact. They intend to destroy the ZNPP plant as a last ditch attempt to ‘activate NATO’ by blaming Russia.
A completely coordinated campaign over the last few days has affirmed this. Not only was Budanov’s maiden speech after reappearing from his Kalibrated cranial trepanation centered on Russia’s alleged ‘mining of the ZNPP’ basement, but now several new instances of highly coordinated messaging have been released by Ukraine and its Western controllers.
(I re-post Budanov’s video just to have them all here in one place for easy reference)
https://simplicius76.substack.com/api/v1/video/upload/a3d7ae92-46eb-45
1d-9a4f-16ed2ad583fc/src?override_publication_id=1351274&type=mp4In fact, since that video from days ago, he’s released a new, even more urgently threatening message:
https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2023/06/25/7408481/
“The 4th and 6th power units of the Zaporozhye NPP were mined by Russia,” – Kyrylo Budanov "The situation has never been as serious as it is now.
The plan of the terrorist attack at the ZNPP has been fully developed and approved. To accelerate the catastrophe, they can use technical means," Budanov stated
Now, Zelensky has made two separate videos where he plainly states that Russia is preparing a massive terrorist attack at the ZNPP plant “just like they did at the Kakhovka dam”. He goes on to sternly warn the world and charge them with the responsibility to act with utmost severity in response to this upcoming Russian attack. He specifically invokes the threat of radiation crossing the borders into other NATO countries for obvious effect.
And a day later, in coordinated fashion, Lindsay Graham threatened Russia with massive NATO retaliation should Russia use any type of “nuclear” aggravation:
He even put forth a new resolution which specifically quotes the ‘destruction of a nuclear facility’ and ‘dispersing radioactive contaminants’ as an attack on NATO itself:
Obviously, this is quite ironic and hypocritical given that it was the U.S. and UK that just announced the supply of radioactive DU ammunition, which does exactly what Graham here describes in spreading radioactive contaminants.
... to begin building the groundswell of the narrative, the Ukrainian health ministry even released these preparatory safety alerts for citizens to stay safe during a nuclear radiation accident:

Ukrainian officials continue to report that Russia relies on sanctions evasion schemes to acquire foreign components for weapons production. Ukrainian Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) representative Vadym Skibitsky reported on Jun 25 that Russia imports these components under the guise of household goods from countries that have not joined international sanctions regimes against Russia.[59] Skibitsky also reported that Russian officials secure access to critical components by creating temporary shell joint ventures and enterprises that act as one-time conduits for imports before disappearing.[60]
Russian occupation authorities continue to weaponize policy regarding children to consolidate social and administrative control of occupied areas. The Luhansk People’s Republic (LNR) Ministry of Internal Affairs announced on June 24 that LNR authorities held a ceremony to “award” youth in occupied Krasnodon Russian passports following their 14th birthdays.[62] The Ukrainian Ministry of Reintegration reported that occupation authorities in Berdyansk and Melitopol, Zaporizhia Oblast, are forcing schoolchildren to write letters to Russian soldiers.[63] The Ukrainian Resistance Center additionally noted that Russian occupation officials are using summer holidays to escalate measures to deport children from southern and eastern Ukraine to Russia under the guise of “rest and relaxation” measures.[64]
