🇵🇸🇮🇱 - Scenes from northeast Gaza City.

🇷🇺🇺🇦🇧🇾⚡- "Ukraine has repeatedly given signals that Russia's involvement in this war with Belarus could lead to extremely dangerous consequences. In particular, we have recorded that along our border in Belarus, special equipment has been installed that works for Russia, for the Russians, which helps the Russians launch drone strikes against us, against our territory. We in Ukraine know of four such repeaters in Belarus - namely in the Gomel and Brest regions. It is thanks to such equipment that strikes were carried out against Zhytomyr, Rivne, Volyn regions, against our energy sector, against our railways - against ordinary cities, against our villages. Belarus has time to dismantle this equipment.

We also know about every factory in Belarus that works for Russia and works for this war. Every enterprise that supplies components for Russian weapons – for armored vehicles, for missile systems – and also an enterprise that supplies fuel for war to Russia – is all about drawing Belarus into the war. Ukraine does not want this, and we have warned the de facto leadership of Belarus, which influences the relevant events. In general, in January-May alone, the supply of gasoline from Belarus to Russia increased 13 times, compared to the same period last year, and diesel – three times.

Unfortunately, this helps Russia adapt to pressure and does not bring peace closer. It should be the opposite: peace should be coming closer, and Belarus should do the things that its de facto leadership is talking about through unofficial channels, so that we in Ukraine really see that Belarus is really against this war. This war must be ended. Peace is needed," - Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President of Ukraine.

🇫🇷⚡️- The Figaro reveals Emmanuel Macron is, again, considering triggering snap elections in France by dissolving the National Assembly.

🇫🇷⚡️- According to Le Figaro's sources at the Élysée, Macron’s reasoning is to handicap his successor next year by delaying their ability to dissolve the National Assembly, given that a new dissolution cannot occur for another year.

Macron has been steadily appointing loyalists to key institutional roles with virtually permanent positions, regardless of who succeeds him. Here are the appointees from this year alone:

- Amélie de Montchalin, President the Court of Auditors, France's supreme audit institution.
- Richard Ferrand, permanent member of the Constitutional Council.
- Emmanuel Moulin, Governor of the Bank of France.
