TheVoiceOfJoyce Day 501 of Putin’s war on the Ukrainian people. The counteroffensive is about to get going, using cluster munitions to clear out entrenched land mines and booby traps in Ukraine’s path. Commanders taken from Mariupol have been returned by Turkey to the Ukraine. Finland has joined NATO. Poland is securing its border, in case Belarus, is threatening their well being. Anti Putin forces are gathering to combat the Putin regime. Uneasy lies the head, that wears a crown in Russia. Russia never had accountable institutions, only ruthless leaders, with the exception of Gorbachev !

Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, has announced the return of five military commanders who were previously expected to have to remain in Turkey until the end of the war. The men led the defence of the city of Mariupol until surrendering to Russian forces last year, and had been sent to Turkey under the terms of a prisoner exchange brokered by Ankara. Russia has said the return of the men represents “nothing more than a direct violation of the terms of the existing agreements” by both Ukraine and Turkey. The Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, said on Saturday Russia’s leader, Vladimir Putin, would visit Turkey in August.

Joe Biden leaves on Sunday for Europe, where he will attend the Nato summit in Vilnius, Lithuania. He will participate in meetings with leaders, who will debate the war in Ukraine and revise plans for dealing with Russian aggression. Biden will then head to Helsinki on Thursday, where he will celebrate the expansion of Nato with Finland as the newest member.
