Putin makes a speech. WATCH: These actions a knife in the back of our people, says Putin President Putin has spoken for the first time since the Wagner mercenary group vowed to topple Russia's military leadership. The Russian president also warns of "inevitable punishment" for those dividing the Russian society. And he says that a counter-terrorism regime is now in place in the capital Moscow and several other regions. In his address to the nation, he urged the consolidation of all forces and said what was happening was "a betrayal" and "a knife in the back of our people". https://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-europe-66006142

Yevgeny Prigozhin said the "evil" in the military leadership must be stopped and vowed to "march for justice". Authorities have denied the strike and demanded he halt "illegal actions". President Putin is aware of the situation and all necessary measures are being taken, his spokesman said. It represents an astonishing escalation of infighting inside Russia.

Obama: Trump indictment ‘less than ideal’ but shows ‘nobody’s above the law’ In an interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour that will air Thursday, Obama said the indictment does not send the best message internationally because of signs that suggest democratic norms are being rolled back in the U.S. and throughout the world. “It’s less than ideal,” Obama said. “But the fact that we have a former president who is having to answer to charges brought by prosecutors does uphold the basic notion that nobody’s above the law, and the allegations will now be sorted out through a court process.” https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/4062633-obama-trump-indictment-less-than-ideal-but-shows-nobodys-above-the-law/

UPDATE: ‘Rust’ Armorer Transferred Narcotics on Day of Shooting, Prosecutor Says The original armorer on the film “Rust,” who was charged with involuntary manslaughter after a gun that was loaded with live ammunition fired on the set and killed the cinematographer, will face an additional charge of evidence tampering related to narcotics, a special prosecutor in the case said Thursday. The new charge against the armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, “relates to the transfer of narcotics to another person” on Oct. 21, 2021, the day of the shooting, “with the intent to prevent criminal prosecution,” the prosecutor, Kari T. Morrissey, said in a statement. A lawyer for Ms. Gutierrez-Reed said that she intended to plead not guilty to both the evidence tampering and the involuntary manslaughter charges. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/22/arts/rust-armorer-new-charge.html No Paywall Link

U.S. Navy Detected Titan Sub Implosion Days Ago A top secret U.S. Navy acoustic detection system designed to spot enemy submarines first heard the Titan sub implosion hours after the submersible began its mission, officials involved in the search said. The Navy began listening for the Titan almost as soon as the sub lost communications, according to a U.S. defense official. Shortly after its disappearance, the U.S. system detected what it suspected was the sound of an implosion near the debris site discovered Thursday and reported its findings to the commander on site, U.S. defense officials said. https://www.wsj.com/amp/articles/u-s-navy-detected-titan-sub-implosion-days-ago-6844cb12 No Paywall Link

The threat of Russian president Vladimir Putin using tactical nuclear weapons is “real”, his US counterpart Joe Biden said, days after denouncing Russia’s deployment of such weapons in Belarus. Mr Biden had termed Mr Putin’s announcement that Russia had deployed its first tactical nuclear weapons to Belarus “absolutely irresponsible” last week. This comes as Belarusian president Alexander Lukashenko said his country has started taking delivery of Russian tactical nuclear weapons, some of which he said were three times more powerful than the atomic bombs the US dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/russia-ukraine-war-putin-nuclear-threat-b2360560.html#post-1243878
