Asked about the British deployment last week of its
HMS
Defender had been joined by a U.S. surveillance aircraft. He even provided what he said was that aircraft s tail number. Lamenting this U.S.-British provocation in the context of what he said was Russia s greater respect for Western borders, Putin argued that his more fundamental concern rests with foreign military bases on Ukraine s territory. Putin appears to be referring to a U.S.-led military training center at Yavoriv, in far-western Ukraine.
It s a game.
Fewer than 15 miles from the Polish border, the Yavoriv center poses no threat to Russia s flanks. Putin is using that center as an excuse to legitimate his broader intimidation of Ukraine. But Putin wasn t done. He suggested that the foreign military presence in Ukraine poses significant security problems for us and really concerns the vital interests of the Russian Federation and the people of Russia . we must think about it.

Russia continues to ignore international concerns about attacks on press freedoms, including those expressed by US President Joe Biden at his June 16 summit with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin. In a post-summit press conference, Biden said he had “raised the ability of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) to operate, and the importance of a free press and freedom of speech.”
Russia’s crackdown on RFE/RL continues despite Biden’s comments. One of the most recent targets is Vladislav Yesypenko, a RFE/RL contributor who was arrested in Russian-occupied Crimea on March 10. Yesypenko faces trial on July 6 on charges of spying and possessing a grenade.
