Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has acknowledged that his forces have withdrawn from the bombed-out city of Lysychansk, the last Ukrainian stronghold in the eastern Luhansk province.

But he pledged late on Sunday to regain control of the lost territory with the help of long-range Western weapons.

Russia said its capture of Lysychansk less than a week after taking neighbouring Severdonetsk gave it full control of Luhansk – a political win that meets a key Kremlin war goal. The battlefield focus now shifts to the neighbouring Donetsk province which, together with Luhansk, makes up what is known as the Donbas region.

“If the commanders of our army withdraw people from certain points at the front, where the enemy has the greatest advantage in firepower, and this also applies to Lysychansk, it means only one thing,” Zelenskyy said in his nightly video address.

“That we will return thanks to our tactics, thanks to the increase in the supply of modern weapons.”

“The fact that we protect the lives of our soldiers, our people, plays an equally important role. We will rebuild the walls, we will win back the land, and people must be protected above all else,” he added.

Since abandoning an assault on the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, Russia has concentrated its military operation on the industrial Donbas heartland, where Moscow-backed separatist proxies have been fighting the Ukrainian army since 2014.

So omokri is not obedient and he doesn't support southern presidential candidate? nawa oo.
Obi peter follows should forget aso rock and support their Southern brother Tinubu for he has more northern supporters than any body from the south today.

wiseoneking:
Who is a Northerner he's talking about? Benue man or Taraba, kogi, southern KADUNA, plateau southern Gombe and southern Bauchi, FCT, southern Boronu, Nasarawa or where? The early he comes to terms that these afore mentioned places are not core or Islamic Fulani Hausa North, the better his brain is set from the right. Let everyone get this truth, northern Christian population still stands to almost 40% of her population with Benue and plateau having the highest.

Moreover, nobody even knows kwankwoso in the whole of the south. I laugh at his ignorance

oga this your statistics is fake as peter obi. Christian population in north is 40% are you ok?
Going by your stats Christian population in Nigeria would take 75-80%. If this what you have in your imagination, please answer the following questions.
Why the Muslims that you claimed to be minority decides who win presidential election?

Why do they have more representatives as the national assembly than the Christians majority?
I want to give you this for free, the biggest gift southern Nigeria could get from the north in 2023 is Tinubu.

Reader530:
I am from the north and APC is declining each day.

declining in favour of which party mr northerner

Mandate2023:


I swear ur brain is empty.....na any garbage dey enter ur head

Crowd supporting Peter obi across Northern Nigeria.

Penguin2:
Fork shit!

Now, this is massive.

Where are Tinubu urchins that were asking for arial view? Make una come see am.

First it was Plateau.

Now, it’s Benue.

I expect Taraba and Adamawa Christians to fall in line too.

Tinubu urchins will be busy calling Peter Obi Igbo/IPOB project, before they realize themselves, we will be sowing Asoebi for Obi’s swearing in.

The rescue of Nigeria is non-negotiable.

u can play religion and win election for peter obi.

Jay5mie:
Is there a new definiton for the word Mega?

the new definition is those in the pic.

helinues:
Obi only know the direction but not the destination.

you're at the exact point with truth.

Ud70:
Jagaban which language is this?

hausa language.

I wanted to join the online revolution but after seing this i asked myself, can Peter obi win ten states with atleast 50% total vote cast?

Jagaba means pacesetter, trailblazer, leader, etc. The Emir of Borgu must have recognised the leadership qualities and exploits of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu; and may have been blessed with a glimpse of the future, foreseeing Tinubu’s role in the realisation of the Presidency of PMB, and perhaps Tinubu’s own presidency to come. Tinubu’s presidential ambition is the oldest, amongst the APC stock, and he has been the first to inform PMB, and the nation as a whole. No one can take away the credit of the success of the APC from Tinubu; especially from its formation in 2014, and its victory at the polls in 2015. Tinubu is inarguably the leader of the APC in the South West, and it is a home truth to the APC, that without Asiwaju’s South-west APC in 2019; the elections would have been lost.

Senator Kashim Shettima, former governor of Borno state, whom I fondly call Master Builder, as the architect of the emancipation and reconstruction of Borno from the destruction of Boko Haram; appears in front of every TV camera, and before every audio recorder of all the reporters, covering the Asiwaju campaigns. He is in every image of the campaign trail, and consultation visits of Asiwaju, tirelessly by his side, offering his support, time, resources and fine oratory. In a video of one of such visits, Shettima waxes, “Asiwaju’s name is synonymous with the evolution of democracy in this country. At a critical juncture in our nation’s history, when Atiku Abubakar was harassed and chased out of the PDP, it was Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu that provided him a sanctuary and platform to contest for the Presidency of this country, under the Action Congress.

Where others see division to exploit, he sees opportunities for collaboration. When his colleagues as governors were scampering for a space on the dining table in Aso Rock, he was laying the foundation of modern Lagos, under an antagonistic Federal Government. From his lonely outpost in Lagos, he started a process, of deconstruction and delegitimization of the PDP rigging machine in the South West. Ever a man of peace, he successfully retrieved the stolen mandates of John Kayode Fayemi in Ekiti, of Rauf Aregbesola in Osun, and of Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole in Edo. This process culminated in the formation of the APC, and the subsequent dethronement of PDP in the 2015 general elections.”

At the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Support Groups Management Council Conference in Abuja, Shettima gave Tinubu the credit of being one of the leaders, shaping the country to greater heights. Kashim singled Tinubu as one of those leaders who are not tied to tribal or religious sentiments.

“Tinubu has a propensity for sacrificing his comfort to protect the country’s democracy.” He said, “so much has been said about this political enigma, by hacks, with a poor sense of history. The path that has led us to Asiwaju didn’t happen by chance. He provided sanctuaries for fleeing patriots, who are very much around to testify to his large heart. Our younger patriots must be in the know, about Tinubu’s struggles from two decades past, when he was the backbone of the opposition, and how he was fiercely antagonised and politically ostracised by the ruling party, the PDP.”

I have followed Kashim Shettima’s leadership footprints from his days as Borno governor. I remember vividly, a video where he was tasting the ‘kosai’ cooked for school pupils, to fully appreciate the quality of what his state’s pupils’ were being fed. He would drop blocks fabricated for the building projects in his state to ascertain the quality of what is to be used by contractors. Gov. Zulum was right behind him in those oversight visits across the state. Today, Kashim has not only left the legacies of the projects he had completed in the state; but has also left behind a daring and purposeful leader in Zulum. It is a no brainer, for a Kashim to happen in Tinubu’s team. Purposeful leadership that nurtures future and competent leaders is the nexus.

Speaking about Tinubu’s legacies in Lagos is like counting the mountains, rivers and plains in Africa. They are monumental, finely placed and indelible. Lagos today has an economy that is larger than so many African countries combined. Just recently, it attracted half a billion dollars in investment, by the US Consulate. Google and Microsoft are huge investors in Lagos, in millions of dollars. Foreigners and Nigerian citizens are flocking into Lagos everyday, in their thousands. No politician in Nigeria, has a larger roll-call of proteges that have become household names and successes in the Nigerian political and technocratic landscapes, like Asiwaju does. The likes of Kashim in Tinubu’s campaign team, cements Tinubu as the most popular southern presidential candidate in the North. Left to me, Kashim should be Tinubu’s campaign DG already.

Tahir is Talban Bauchi.

Noise making consultative forum.

IgOga:
Zelensky should seek peace with his neigbours...The Russians seems bent on taking Oddessa next before going into Moldova

ok.

Ukrainian troops will “have to be withdrawn” from the mostly Russian-occupied battleground city of Severodonetsk, the Luhansk governor said on television on Friday.

“Remaining in positions smashed to pieces over many months just for the sake of staying there does not make sense,” Serhiy Haidai said.

He did not indicate whether troops would be withdrawn immediately, or over what time frame the withdrawal would happen.

The UK’s defence ministry said on Thursday some Ukrainian troops had withdrawn from Lysychansk to avoid being encircled. If Russia takes both Severodonetsk and Lysychansk, it will hold the Luhansk region, which is one of the two regions that make up the Donbas.

Deemas:



Peter Obi is not a movement. Why are you dedicating time to talk about him?

To tell his followers that he's alot of work to do for him to win in 2027 presidential election.

Gohs:
This movement is creating structure.

Like play, Peter Obi will become president of Nigeria next year by God's grace.

AMEN!

The grace of God will work more for people with actions and plans.

So many people are saying peter obi is a Movement, a Tsunami and hurricane that is going to take political power from A.P.C at most and P.D.P to say the least. They believe that he doesn’t need political structure to win presidential election in a country like Nigeria where poverty and unemployment have forced most of its citizens to do so many crazy things to make ends meet.

Some regional (local) political analysts in the corners of their one bedroom self contained have opined that this movement is beyond and bigger than peter Obi himself, that it is going to be contest between the masses and the elites.
Which masses are they really talking about?
The hungry masses that are willing to sale their vote to the highest bidder? Or
The masses that will be disenfranchised by Simon Ekpa’s faction of ipob in south east?
Certainly not the masses that will overwhelmingly vote for Tinubu in south West.
Peter Obi may be a good man in his own capacity but not movement or tsunami as his media hypemen are saying.
The only person that could claim to be a”Movement” in Nigeria politics is President Muhammadu Buhari of 2015. Even with the “cult-like” followership that he enjoyed he never ignored political structure like Peter Obi and his followers.

Questions for those saying structure is not necessary for peter obi to win presidential election.
Can Buhari win election in South west without the support of JAGABAN and his followers?
Could he had won 2015 election in North central without the help of Saraki, Dino melayi, Babangida aliyu, George Akume, Ortom,Abdullahi Adamu, lalong e.t.c?
What about North west without kwankwaso, ganduje, El-rufai, Tambuwal, wamako,yerima yari, masari?
North east without Atiku, yuguda, kyari, Ali modu sheriff, shetima, Zulum and Dankwambo?

https://zapiforum.com/question/2023-electionpeter-obi-is-not-a-movement/

Fahdiga:
Dear Ned, millions of Nigerians will disagree with what you postulated. This movement is bigger than Obi himself. It is the masses vs the elites who have subjugated them for long and I'll advise that since you are contesting for the Senate, don't make the voters in your senatorial zone to hate you because of this singular topic. Nigerians have unanimously agreed that Peter Obi is the best man for the job and no one except God can stop him. My advice to you as a friend

which masses are you talking about? The ones in South East that will be disenfranchised by the ipob faction with it's leader in Finland or the masses in South west that 70% of them will vote for jagaban? I don't believe you are talking about the masses in the north that only know three names which are atiku Tinubu and kwankwaso?

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that Africa is being held “hostage” by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which has spurred fears of a food crisis on the continent.

Moscow’s offensive has seen it blockade Ukraine’s Black Sea ports, preventing the country’s grain exports from reaching global markets.
“Africa is actually a hostage. It is a hostage of those who unleashed war against our state,” Zelenskyy said during an address to the African Union delivered via video link.

He added Kyiv was currently engaged in “complex negotiations” to release its ports from Russia’s blockade.

“But there is no progress yet … That is why the global food crisis will continue as long as this colonial war continues,” Zelenskyy said.

Artillery:

Howitzers have been provided by countries such as Estonia and Norway. The US has also pledged M114 155mm howitzers – long-range artillery launchers.

Anti-aircraft and anti-tank weapons:

Shoulder-fired MANPAD systems, NLAWs, Harpoon anti-ship missiles, Stinger missiles, Javelin anti-tank missiles, MILAN anti-tank guided missiles and Cheetah anti-aircraft missiles are among the weapons pledged to Ukraine.

Armoured vehicles:

The UK has provided Ukraine with Mastiff armoured vehicles which can carry a crew of two plus eight troops. Australia has pledged M113 armoured personnel carriers and Bushmaster protected mobility vehicles, the latter of which can deploy 10 soldiers. T-72 tanks have also been pledged by Poland.

Reconnaissance and attack drones:

Turkish Bayraktar TB2 combat drones, US made Phoenix Ghost tactical drones and Puma Unmanned aerial systems are among the drones pledged to Ukraine.

The Bayraktar drone in particular garnered attention during the war as Ukrainian forces used the weapon to destroy Russian artillery systems and armoured vehicles.

The TB2 has a wingspan of 12 metres and can reach 25,000 feet. It has also been used during conflicts in Syria, Nagorno-Karabakh, Iraq and Libya.

Helicopters:

The US and Czech Republic have sent Ukraine Mi-24 attack helicopters.

Small arms:

A number of countries are sending automatic rifles, machine guns, assault rifles, sniper rifles, submachine guns, pistols, and ammunition to Ukraine.

Last week, the UK announced that it would give Ukraine M270 multiple-launch rocket systems, which can strike targets up to 80km (50 miles) away.

UK Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said in a statement, “As Russia’s tactics change, so must our support to Ukraine. These highly capable multiple-launch rocket systems will enable our Ukrainian friends to better protect themselves against the brutal use of long-range artillery, which Putin’s forces have used indiscriminately to flatten cities.”
INTERACTIVE -Types of weapons Ukraine is receiving(Al Jazeera)

What weapons has the US provided?
During the Russian invasion, the US has committed at least $54bn in aid for Ukraine, including more than $20bn in military support approved by Congress in May, as well as a number of aid packages approved in March.

On June 1, the Department of Defense announced the authorisation of an eleventh drawdown of equipment from DoD inventories for Ukraine since August 2021, as US President Joe Biden said the US would “continue to provide Ukraine with weapons and equipment to defend itself.”

The DoD package includes:



On June 1, the Biden administration said it would provide Ukraine with high mobility artillery rocket systems (HIMARS) under the condition that Ukrainian forces not use them to hit targets inside Russian territory.

The M142 HIMARS is a high-tech lightweight rocket launcher that can strike targets at a range of 80km (50 miles). This is almost double the range of the current M777 howitzers, which the US promised to provide earlier.

My wasted vote is for Tinubu

Bomboiy:
Atiku going for Okowa is a good news to me, Okowa doesn't have any influence outside Delta State. Wike would have been a very strong option.


As for Tinubu,this is the beginning of his failure. Choosing a northern Muslim VP in a country with Christian majority,he doesn't value the presence of Christians in Nigeria.

APC has sent a clear message that they don't care about Christain. President, presidencial candidate, Senate president and now VP Candidate are all Muslim. Where is the justice for Christians?


Anyways na Obi we know.

Fighting
Russian forces have blown up a bridge over the Siverskyi Donets River, which links the cities of Severodonetsk and Lysychansk, cutting off a possible evacuation route for civilians, local officials said.

The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) said Russian forces should, in principle, be seeking to seize bridges rather than destroy them since they have struggled to get across the Siverskyi Donets River in the past.

The self-proclaimed officials also celebrated Russia Day on Sunday and began issuing Russian passports to residents in Melitopol, Russian state-owned RIA Novosti news agency said.

Moscow-backed officials are solidifying their hold on occupied territories by installing Russian flags in and around Melitopol and Mariupol, with the sign to the port city’s entrance painted in the Russian flag colours.

Amnesty International accused Russia of war crimes in Ukraine’s second-largest city Kharkiv. Hundreds of civilians have been killed in Russian cluster bomb attacks, the rights body said.
Ukraine has uncovered sabotage activities among 50 people in Lysychansk who were leaking Ukraine’s operational information to Russian forces to help Moscow with its offensive, the governor of Luhansk said.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Moscow’s tactics had not changed in the war and that poorly-trained Russian reserves were now being deployed in the battle for Donbas, where “every metre” is being fought over.

Diplomacy

Security concerns raised by Turkey in its opposition to Finland and Sweden joining NATO are legitimate, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said during a visit to Finland.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen met President Zelenskyy in Kyiv to discuss Ukraine’s candidacy for European Union membership that will be announced by the end of the week.

The risk of nuclear war is higher today than ever since the height of the Cold War, an arms research institute concluded.

The human cost of the war

Zelenskyy claimed Russian casualties since the start of the war may pass 40,000 in June.
The governor of Luhansk said about 500 civilians remain in hiding at the Azot chemical plant in Severodonetsk.

Three people were killed in Lysychansk on Sunday, including a six-year-old boy, and one person was injured, the governor of Luhansk said.
Russian forces’ attacks on a residential area in Kryvyi Rih region of Dnipropetrovsk killed one woman and wounded five peope, the head of the Kryvyi Rih military administration said.
