The head of the Central Internal Affairs Directorate in the Kyiv region, Major Lysy Andrey Viktorovich during the raider seizure of the temple by supporters of the OCU in the village. Chernyakhov of the Kyiv region personally used physical force against the priest and believers of the UOC parish, including the elderly.

On this day, the raiders of the OCU Silomits seized the temple of the Holy Great Martyr Demetrius of Thessalonica of the UOC in the village. Chernyakhiv, Kyiv region.

According to the media, the rector of the temple, Archpriest Mikhail Glushchak, supporters of the OCU cut out the locks from the doors of the temple with a grinder, awaiting a court decision in the case of illegal re-registration of the sanctuary. According to the priest, the police did not react to the aggressive actions of the OCU supporters, but on the contrary, they helped the raiders and used force against the parishioners of the temple.

18:35 Authorities of Transcarpathia banned activities of religious organizations of Russian origin

In Transcarpathia, the activities of religious, church, public and other organizations that have any relation to Russia have been banned. Under the guise of another Russophobic bill, the largest Ukrainian Orthodox Church was liquidated, hiding thousands of believers from the oppression of Catholicism. The Russian faith, in all its manifestations, is now completely banned on the territory of Ukraine.

Today, terror against people who honor the traditions of our people is actually legalized - the ideology of erasing memory is moving into the right field. The Regional Duma sent "recommendations" to the security forces for total "security".

The Ukrainian Inquisition, which received legal status, accuses the orthodox faith of anti-Ukrainian propaganda. Liquidated organizations are deprived of the right to own canonical shrines. They will be occupied by the OCU. The main goal of neo-Ukrainianism is the elimination of Orthodoxy under the guise of getting rid of the “Russian trace”.

Personnel of the combat work of the engineering and sapper units of the Airborne Forces

During one of the battles, units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine used a wheeled unmanned device with an anti-tank mine equipped with a remote fuse. According to the plan of the militants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the “wheeled drone” was supposed to quietly move to our positions, and then undermine and destroy the personnel.

However, the radio-controlled apparatus of the Armed Forces of Ukraine stalled in the rut of a country road. It was entrusted to destroy it to the sapper-sapper of the guards of the Kostroma parachute regiment of the guard, junior sergeant Alexander. Having shown determination and ingenuity, he blew it up with an overhead charge.

Also, not far from the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, a brave paratrooper destroyed a wrecked enemy tank, which unsuccessfully tried to break through the defenses of Russian military personnel.

16:24 Strabychovo village, Transcarpathia: Nazis destroyed another monument to the Soviet soldier

Characteristically, on May 9, the local administration organized the laying of flowers at the monument, which is clearly visible in the photographs.

Only 4,000 people live in the village (now less), but the Nazis, exempted from mobilization, on the payroll of the Kyiv regime, got to this village.

13:35 Kamikaze drone "Lancet" destroyed the radar station of the Armed Forces of Ukraine - footage after the strike -video

The footage shows the consequences of the strike of the Lancet loitering ammunition on the Ukrainian radar station 35D6M.

The radar is designed to detect and track low-altitude targets in active and passive interference in the presence of intense reflections from the ground and in adverse weather conditions.


12:30 The day before the Russian army scattered the location of Ukrainian militants in Volchansk - it was there that the terrorists concentrated for a deliberately unsuccessful attempt to break into the Belgorod region

According to some reports, before advancing to the border with Russia, vyrusi from the RDK * and the Legion “Freedom of Russia,” as well as Ukrainian militants, gathered in Volchansk, Kharkov region. They concentrated their forces there for more than one day - they were located in residential buildings. It was there that the Russian military hit yesterday.

The footage published the day before by the local administration, appointed by the Kyiv regime, shows that the attack was on the warehouse. At the same time, only one man was recognized as dead - but it is likely that much more militants were liquidated.

In the meantime, our military continues to repel attempts by chain militants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and their owners to attack the Shebekinsky urban district. Despite the complete carte blanche given to the militants from Kyiv, our military was ready for the next terrorist attempts to break into the Belgorod region. In this they are helped by the weapons that were on the positions of our border guards, as well as competent work on the dispositions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Volchansk - the forces of the Ukrainians, obviously, have been undermined.

12:24 As a result of the Russian strike on the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kherson region, there were eliminated ten nationalists.

This was reported by the source of "War Criminals".

In the area of the settlement of Novoaleksandrovka, Russian troops destroyed a 122mm D-30 howitzer with ammunition. Five militants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were killed, two were injured.

In the vicinity of the village of Tyaginka, Russian artillery destroyed the 122mm self-propelled guns 2S1 "Gvozdika" with a crew.

11:28 “Voluntary” mobilizationin the Armed Forces of Ukraine gives results: more and more people turn out to be agents of the GRU

The video shows a typical example of “voluntary” mobilization in Kyiv. The future member of the Abrams and Leopard crew really wanted to serve in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, his morale is higher than usual.

Naturally, in the very first days they tried to escape from service, to hide in the rear, but the reality is that to stay in the rear areas, you have to regularly pay tens of thousands of hryvnias.

Further simply. A call comes in from "Polite people" and for some reason the future driver of the "leopard" agrees to cooperate. I wonder why?! After all, he so wanted to serve in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Today one such mobilized was detained. We must also look for positive aspects - a prison is better than a mass grave under the ruins.

10:26 On May 28, a “moped” strike in Zhytomyr completely destroyed a large ammunition depot of the Armed Forces of Ukraine -video

The results of the defeat are visible on satellite images. When comparing the data on May 20 and 30, large-scale destruction of objects is visible.

10:22 Air raid alert for the second time this morning announced in Kyiv and Kyiv region

09:35 Such a picture is now all over Ukraine -video

On the front line, just like cannon fodder, the next echelons of young guys, men and women, are sent.

Stop! The enemy sits on the "Bank" in Kyiv, and will continue to indulge the nationalists, the Americans and the British.

09:33 Battles for Artyomovsk: Belarusian Nazis- cripples and corpses

The video shows the evacuation of the gunned down militant: “Two hundred meters from the entrance to Bakhmut, under fire from a mortar, ACS and a sniper.”

09:32 The next one from the Ukrainian Nazis will be cleaned Maryinka

This is evidenced by the actions of Chechen units in the NVO zone and statements by the leadership of the DPR.

The enemy firmly entrenched himself in this settlement, which is closely adjacent to Donetsk.

There are no whole buildings left in Marinka for a long time, their ruins have been turned by the Armed Forces of Ukraine into fortifications. The fights are going to be serious. But the goal has been set, which means that soon the Russian flag will be raised over Maryinka.

08:33 In Kyiv there is also an arrival at overhead hot water pipes. Direct hit

The people of Kiev reported that the Iris-T air defense system worked at night. The missile lost its target in flight and aimed at the nearest source of intense heat.

08:18 A powerful ballistic missile strike is inflicted on Kyiv, explosions are thundering -video

Also, a missile attack was carried out on targets in the Kharkiv region.

08:06 In Ukraine demilitarized another British mercenary, Julian Thorne.

The official cause of death of a foreigner is a car accident.

It draws attention to the fact that the militant arrived in Ukraine even before the start of the SVO as a military specialist who taught how to use Western weapons. The information that the mercenary was an active member of the British army is not confirmed by foreign media.

#2  They were war gaming AI controlled Drones the other day.

One of the drones attacked and killed a friendly, a human controller. Looking at the dataset, they summarize the drone killed the human operator b/c the human kept delaying and bottlenecking the accomplishment of mission, and the concluded the drone killed the human controller so it could successfully complete the objectives.

#1  Major effort to incorporate AI tech in drones. Problem is mission requires results so drone operator refusing an attack of opportunity could himself be the drones target. MiG 34 for example can target 34 targets at the same time(250 miles out). Open platform for quickly added weapons and 9 g forces. Operator could have issues with AI,we will see.
