The Russian army is trying to break through the defense of the Armed Forces in the direction of the vital Pokrovsk-Kostiantynivka highway in the Donetsk region. The enemy continues to use tactics of small groups.
This was reported by the spokesman of the "Khortytsia" OSU, Nazar Voloshyn, writes LIGA.net.
The enemy intensified offensive actions west of Avdiyivka and Maryinka from the side of occupied Ocheretiny, in order to break through the defenses to the "vitally important" highway Pokrovsk-Kostyantynivka. The enemy is massively shelling the positions of the Armed Forces in order to advance towards the settlements of Kurakhove and Pokrovsk.
"Russia threw a lot of forces into the capture of the village of Ocheretyne, so the occupiers from Ocheretyne rush to the Pokrovsk-Kostyantynivka highway. Taking advantage of this, they are conducting assaults with the aim of capturing Pokrovsk and the vital highway to Kostyantynivka," he notes.
The defense forces are doing everything possible to prevent the advance of the enemy.
According to the General Staff, the number of clashes doubled during the day in the Pokrovsky direction. Fighting continues near Novooleksandrivka, Yevgenivka, Novopokrovsky and Sokol.
The Russian army does not reduce offensive actions along the entire front line. The enemy is looking for ways to dislodge units of the Armed Forces from occupied positions. The number of clashes has increased to 64, according to the summary of the General Staff.

[Korrespondent] 22:08 Putin said that Russia has the right to supply weapons to regions “from where attacks will be carried out on sensitive facilities of countries supplying weapons to Kiev.” According to him, “the answer may be asymmetrical, we will think about it.” The head of the Kremlin also believes that if the United States stops supplying weapons to Ukraine, “the conflict will end in two to three months.”
22:00 Greece has joined the international coalition for the return of Ukrainian children as an observer, said Ombudsman Dmitry Lubinets.

He regularly reported to Russian intelligence officers about the internal political situation in the republic, and also talked about visits by representatives of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense. For more details, see the article The Head of the General Staff of Moldova is an agent of the Russian Federation.
20:59 Taiwan's Ministry of Economy has expanded controls over the export of nitrocellulose products to Russia and Belarus to prevent their use for military purposes. New restrictions from June 14 prohibit the export of nitrocellulose with a nitrogen content of less than 12.2%.
20:41 There is a significant shortage of electricity in Kiev, so on June 6 there will be outages in the so-called gray zone according to the schedule, DTEK reported. They emphasized that “a shutdown in the light gray zone is also a shutdown according to schedule. If the situation allowed, at this time the houses falling under this zone would have light.”
20:27 Ukraine has already used American weapons to strike Russian territory, the Associated Press reports, citing an unnamed Western official. He did not provide any details, but noted that this happened “in recent days.”
20:06 In Kiev, the lights are turned off a little more than in other regions, due to a significant amount of critical infrastructure, Yasno CEO Sergei Kovalenko said: “That is, the critical volume is taken away from the maximum possible volume of consumption, and the remainder is distributed among all consumers. I hope "That this situation will balance out a bit in the near future."
19:58 Speaker of the US House of Representatives Mike Johnson said that Washington should stop “micromanaging military efforts in Ukraine” and lift restrictions on the use of American weapons from the Armed Forces of Ukraine. “I have already spoken about this and will say it again. We will have conversations with the White House about this,” Johnson emphasized.
18:57 The EBRD will accumulate 300 million euros to support the energy sector of Ukraine, Shmygal said. The funds will go to state energy companies to restore generating capacity and infrastructure, as well as to build new decentralized generation.

17:56 All children are being taken out of the Zolochiv community of the Kharkov region in case of a Russian attack, said the head of the village military administration, Viktor Kovalenko.

16:43 Germany must be ready for war with Russia by 2029, Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said in the Bundestag: “We must be able to fight by 2029. Three topics are of central importance - personnel, equipment and finance.” The minister also considers it necessary to restore military service. He noted that Russia “has long since switched to a war economy and continues to arm itself,” and its victory in Ukraine will cost the West more than the current assistance to Kyiv.
16:05 Syrsky reported that he was again working in the area of active hostilities in the Kharkov and Kupyansky directions. According to him, the Russian Army is focusing its main efforts on the Kurakhovsky, Pokrovsky, Kupyansky and Kharkov directions. In addition, he carries out active assault operations in Volchansk and on the approaches to Chasov Yar in order to take control of them. In other directions, the enemy is attacking with the goal of stretching the line of the active front, pinning down Ukrainian troops and preventing them from being transferred to other areas.
Overall, the situation remains difficult. In the Kharkov direction, the enemy is trying to advance towards Glubokoe-Liptsov, but suffers significant losses and is unsuccessful. In Volchansk, the main task of the Ukrainian Armed Forces at this stage is to contain the enemy, inflict maximum losses on him and gradually move forward to liberate the territories. In the Kupyansk area, the Russians are trying to break through the defenses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from two directions, and there are fierce battles. The goal here is to stop the enemy and force him to go on the defensive.
“My task is to provide this direction with a sufficient amount of ammunition and combat-ready reserves, which will significantly strengthen the defense. Despite the complexity of the situation, we have a chance to change the situation in our favor,” the commander-in-chief concluded.

This department was created as part of the communication reform in the Armed Forces as a whole,” Gumenyuk explained.

13:55 The Main Intelligence Directorate, with its DDoS attack, actually paralyzed the work of a number of government agencies of the Russian Federation and large companies, Ukrainian media write, citing intelligence sources. In particular, access to the electronic services of the government services website, a number of ministries, tax and customs services, and the state civil registry registry has been lost (Russians are massively complaining about canceled weddings). Services of some banks are also unavailable.
12:59 For 17-year-old boys who are abroad, registration will be delayed, said the head of the Ministry of Reintegration Irina Vereshchuk. According to her, a corresponding resolution has already been developed and will be adopted in the near future. “Pre-conscripts and conscripts who are currently abroad will be given a deferment of registration - either until they return to Ukraine or until the end of martial law,” she noted.
12:20 As a result of the morning Russian shelling of the Donetsk region, one person was killed and five were wounded, said the head of the OVA Vadim Filashkin. In particular, in the Pivnichny Toretsk community, one person was killed and four were injured. Another person was injured in Selidovo.
11:43 The Russian army attacked the village of Ingulets, Kherson region - two people were wounded during the distribution of humanitarian aid, the OVA reported.
11:07 The deficit in the Ukrainian energy system is significant, so planned power outages today can also be long, said the Chairman of the Board of Ukrenergo Vladimir Kudrytsky: “If our colleagues invest in the limits that we determine for this day, then the outages will be planned. The deficit is significant, therefore, the duration of these outages, unfortunately, can also be significant. It can be four hours, it can be more, depending on whether we are talking about rush hour - morning or evening - or we are talking about the hours when the situation is. The deficit is a little less acute - this is the day zone and the night."
10:42 Over the past 24 hours, the Russian military shelled 28 settlements in the Sumy region - one person was killed, three more were injured, the National Police reported. Seven private houses and a company warehouse were damaged.
10:31 The Diya application now has a veteran’s certificate, said the head of the Ministry of Digital Development, Mikhail Fedorov. You no longer need to carry a paper version with you. The document can be added by combatants, people with disabilities as a result of war, war veterans, injured participants in the Revolution of Dignity, as well as family members of a deceased war veteran and a deceased defender of Ukraine.
10:14 From June 1, military personnel with dual citizenship stopped being released from Ukraine. The US Embassy in Ukraine explained that Ukrainian law does not recognize dual citizenship, therefore those liable for military service are considered exclusively as citizens of Ukraine with all relevant responsibilities.
10:08 The United States is ready to provide Ukraine with a loan worth $50 billion, which will be repaid using profits from frozen Russian assets if the European Union extends anti-Russian sanctions against these assets indefinitely, writes the Financial Times.

[KavkazUzel] At the Temernik market in Rostov-on-Don, security forces found 16 foreigners who violated the rules of stay in Russia, and 18 people who received citizenship but did not register with the military. In the Volgograd region, 45 violators of migration laws were identified during raids.
Sending migrants to the front does not look like a mass phenomenon, human rights activists pointed out, commenting on reports from Rostov security forces about serving summonses on migrants following raids after the terrorist attack in Crocus City Hall.
As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, following the results of raids by security forces after the terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall, they reported massive violations of migration legislation. Thus, in the Rostov region, 46 citizens of Central Asia were ordered to leave Russia. In Rostov-on-Don, 913 people were checked, of which 545 were citizens of the Russian Federation, 150 people received summonses to the military registration and enlistment office, 39 people were brought to administrative responsibility, of which 25 were foreign citizens. Human rights activists called the fight for the legality of migration ostentatious, emphasizing that the actions of security forces and court decisions on fines and expulsion often have neither legal grounds nor logical explanations. In their opinion, sending migrants to the front does not look like a mass phenomenon.
During raids at one of the clothing markets in Rostov-on-Don, law enforcement officers checked about 200 people, among whom were foreigners, as well as persons who had recently received citizenship of the Russian Federation, Kommersant reported today with reference to the Military Investigation Department of the RF Investigative Committee for Southern Military District.
"Based on the results of checks in the market, 18 naturalized citizens were identified who had not registered with the military. All of them were sent to military commissariats. In addition, 16 foreign citizens were brought to administrative responsibility for violations of the rules of entry into the Russian Federation and the regime of stay in our country, for violation of the deadline for applying for a patent and for evading expulsion from the territory of the Russian Federation,” the publication quotes the department’s message.
The inspection was carried out on the territory of the market in Temernik, Donnews reported today.
Since the beginning of the year, over 300 naturalized citizens have been registered with the military in the Rostov region. Contracts for military service in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation were concluded by 23 people who recently received citizenship and 12 foreigners, the message emphasizes with reference to the department.
Security forces in the Volgograd region also reported on inspections. Today, raids “on places of concentration of foreign workers” took place in the Gorodishchensky and Ilovlinsky districts, more than 300 foreigners were checked, the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Volgograd Region reported. "Based on the results, 45 foreigners were identified who violated migration legislation, they were brought to justice. Among them, 18 foreigners carried out labor activities illegally - without a work permit or patent. They were brought to justice under Article 18.10 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation - “Illegal exercise by a foreign citizen or person stateless labor activity in the Russian Federation,” as stated in the department’s Telegram channel.
In relation to 34 foreign citizens, the courts of the Volgograd region made a decision on administrative expulsion from the territory of the Russian Federation, the message emphasizes.

“The guys are really great. They managed to cross the river on a wide front, as well as pass through its valley and occupy enemy positions on the heights.
Thus, the situation for the enemy here has become noticeably more complicated. Complete occupation of the heights south of the settlement. The excavation, as well as the village itself, will indicate deep coverage of enemy positions in the area of the settlement. It is debatable what will force the Ukrainian Armed Forces to abandon these strong positions without a fight.

[REGNUM] In numerous videos about force mobilization in Ukraine, which now appear almost every day, representatives of the Territorial Acquisition Centers (TCC), which maintain military records and carry out mobilization, almost always act as human hunters.
In the video, they recklessly chase after their fellow citizens who had the misfortune of getting caught, beat them with rifle butts and kick them, push them into their cars, and recently a video in which, while trying to knock down a cyclist, the “man catchers” fell into a ditch, became very popular. And the guy threw the bike and ran away on his own two feet.
But if everyone has already become accustomed to stories where Ukrainian men basically run away like this or offer passive resistance, then the reverse process is just becoming fashionable. With the tightening of the rules of mobilization and the suddenly realized hopelessness, yesterday’s “game” is giving an increasingly active rebuff.
On June 4, the SBU announced the detention of an energy company security guard in Zaporozhye, who was “preparing to blow up the cars of employees of local military registration and enlistment offices.” The man was monitoring parking lots and planning to install remote-controlled improvised explosive devices. Naturally, he turned out to be a “Russian agent” who was “led by the FSB.” However, his motives are clear and close to millions of ordinary citizens of Ukraine.
After all, in the last few days alone, Ukrainian media have reported at least two similar cases. In Kremenchug, a local TCC minibus burned down at night, and in the Kharkov region, a car with military license plates, presumably used by the head of the Saltovsky TCC, was burned.
One of the first precedents of force, which received wide publicity and was captured on video, occurred back in March of this year in the Chernivtsi region. There, in one of the mountain villages, TTS workers were attacked by two local residents (probably Russian Old Believers) with axes. Then it turned out that one of them had a mobilized son who went missing.
And after the new law on mobilization, which finally turned Ukrainian men into serfs, came into force on May 18 of this year, such cases increased sharply. And sometimes they even turn out to be plots for action films. Thus, at the end of May in the Transcarpathian region, border guards found two men crossing the border illegally. They tried to detain them with shots in the air, but the evaders were not timid and put up successful resistance.
They beat the soldier a little, took his pistol away and, shooting back, went to Romania. From there, however, they were returned after an urgent request from the Ukrainian side; unfortunately, the solidarity of the border guards played a role here.
Then, one after another, two cases followed in the same Chernivtsi region: on May 31, in one of the villages, while trying to “shave” a local resident, he used a gas spray. As a result, one of the TTS workers received chemical burns to the eyes and respiratory tract and was taken to the hospital.
The very next day, June 1, already in Chernivtsi itself, another of the captured men responded to an attempt to foist a summons on him with fists. Two days earlier, in the Cherkasy region, a live grenade was thrown into the yard at night at a local TCC employee. Property was damaged, the military was not, but the Cherkassy TsK about this published an indignant statement: they attacked a hero, what a nightmare.
However, the acute attack of national patriotism and enthusiastic perception of members of the Weseushki as light-faced elf-heroes, which happened in Ukraine in 2022, has long passed for the majority.
As Major Sergei Alimov of the Armed Forces of Ukraine recently stated in an interview, many military personnel in rear settlements began to wear civilian clothes because they did not want to be mistaken for TCC employees. And they can be understood: a few weeks ago in Dnepropetrovsk, a serviceman sitting peacefully in a car was hit on the head - the guys driving by thought that he was waiting in ambush for a victim.
Alimov complained that earlier, in 2022, he was not embarrassed to walk around in uniform, children ran up to him and “some gave a flower, some a bracelet, hugged him.” Now people shun people like him. “Why am I fighting there at the front? So that people here are afraid of me?”- he says.
Meanwhile, the leadership of the Armed Forces of Ukraine responded to the huge stream of videos with unlimited mobilization, to which all the above-mentioned cases were a response. As usual, the insidious Russia is to blame for everything.
“A significant part” of conflict videos appearing on social networks involving employees of Ukrainian territorial recruitment centers are staged and filmed on Russian territory, the press service of the Ground Forces claims.
“We are receiving information about the organization of filming such stories in the temporarily occupied territory. The elements are typical: people in Ukrainian uniforms, together with people in the uniform of the National Police, come into conflict with the “local residents”. Beatings are simulated; the footage contains minibuses and cars with black license plates, as well as cars with Ukrainian license plates of different regions of registration. Neutral locations that are difficult to determine are used,” the official statement says.
At the same time, not a day happens without the appearance of more and more new videos where people who do not want to become “cannon fodder” are grabbed and stuffed into minibuses in quite recognizable places throughout Ukraine: from Transcarpathia to Kharkov and from Kyiv to Odessa.
TCC employees and the military are actually increasingly feared and hated. So far, the kidnappers in uniform have escaped with only bruises, burns and fear. But the same Major Alimov in the above-mentioned interview says: “All this will end in a new Vradievka,” referring to the sensational riot in Ukraine in the Nikolaev region in 2013 after the police raped and almost killed a girl.
The likelihood that the TTS officers will not only be beaten, but also destroyed by all available means is really high. The increasingly frequent cases of active resistance are gradually developing into a trend.
However, there is no reason to expect that everything will develop into some kind of organized and truly mass phenomenon, or even more so become a catalyst for a “popular uprising” and a change of power. A real totalitarian regime with a powerful repressive apparatus has been built in Ukraine, the opposition has been destroyed. There is no sign of any anti-war opposition structures capable of becoming the organizing core for a hypothetical uprising (and protecting those who raised their hands against the “pixels”).
Therefore, the maximum that can be counted on is spontaneous riots in individual cities and villages, which have no prospects of developing into something more. But, of course, the number of TTS officers who will be able to see first-hand what it’s like to be a victim and not a hunter will increase significantly.
Although real retribution for both them and those who give them orders will come only after the liberation of Ukraine from the current cannibalistic regime.
NEW INCIDENT WITH TCC
In the village of Baranovka, Zhytomyr region, more than a hundred people came out to protest in front of the building of the local TsK and SP after the death of a 32-year-old military serviceman.
Ukrainians are increasingly dying in the TCC. Transcarpathia, Dnepropetrovsk region, now Zhytomyr region.

The investigative team at the scene of the incident classified the incident as suicide. Unfortunately, on June 2, 2024, the man died in the hospital from injuries received during an epileptic attack,” the TCC reported.
The military claims that the investigators who carried out the examination noted: “there was no external physical influence on the man.”

The patient was immediately sent for surgery. Then for 4 days he was on a ventilator in extremely serious condition," Bortnik said.
Deputy head of the police communications department in the Zhytomyr region, Ivanna Siletskaya, said that the police are conducting a pre-trial investigation into this case. According to her, now the event is classified only under Article 128 (careless serious or moderate bodily injury).
PROTEST
In the village of Baranovka, Zhytomyr region, more than a hundred people came out to protest in front of the building of the local shopping center and joint venture after the death of Sergei.

She added that no gross violations of law and order were recorded.
NOT THE FIRST TIME

[Regnum] In St. Petersburg, a triumphal pillar will be erected in front of the Lakhta Center in honor of Russia’s victory in the Northern War of 1700–1721, Gazprom head Alexey Miller announced on June 5.
The height of the column will be 82 meters, Miller said at a meeting with President Vladimir Putin. The monument was conceived by Peter I, he noted.
“Triumphal Column, 82 meters. It was timed to coincide with the victory in the Northern War and the proclamation of Russia as the Russian Empire on November 2, 1721. This was planned by Pyotr Alekseevich Romanov,” Miller said.
The height of the column was not chosen by chance; it is connected with the fact that it was in 1682 that Peter became king, said the head of Gazprom. The monument itself is designed to be hollow and is actually an “ordinary pipe,” Miller noted.
“Gazprom already knows how to build pipes,” Putin joked in response.
As previously reported, the Russian President will hold a meeting with the heads of international news agencies at the Lakhta Center on June 5. The conversation will be devoted to current aspects of Russia’s domestic and foreign policy, assistant to the head of state Yuri Ushakov said earlier.
SPIEF runs from June 5 to 8, 2024. The main topic will be “The basis of a multipolar world—the formation of new growth points.” Advisor to the President, Executive Secretary of the SPIEF Organizing Committee Anton Kobyakov reported on May 31 that 136 countries and territories have confirmed their participation in SPIEF.
In his greeting to the forum participants on May 27, Putin noted that SPIEF should give a start to new promising initiatives and projects and serve to build up mutually beneficial cooperation between countries and peoples. Russia is open to constructive dialogue and interaction with partners, and is ready to work together to solve the economic, social, scientific and technological problems of our time, the head of state added.
Russia notes a significant change in global conditions and stands for business cooperation based on law and on mutually beneficial conditions, presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov said on June 5, answering the question about the ideology of the forum in 2024.

[Regnum] A criminal case against Mikhail Shvets, a militant of the Azov group (a terrorist organization whose activities are prohibited in the Russian Federation), who is accused of murdering a civilian in Mariupol, was sent to court. This was reported by the prosecutor's office of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR).
“The Prosecutor’s Office of the Donetsk People’s Republic approved an indictment in a criminal case against the 22-year-old driver of the machine-gun squad of the separate special forces unit “Azov” of the National Guard of Ukraine, Mikhail Shvets. He is charged under paragraphs. “g”, “l” part 2 tbsp. 105 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (murder committed by an organized group, motivated by political, ideological hatred), Part 1 of Art. 356 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (cruel treatment of civilians in occupied territory),” the department reported.
On March 14, 2022, Shvets stabbed a civilian in the neck in one of the city’s stores after being shot, after which the man died, the investigation reports.
It is noted that the criminal case was sent to the Supreme Court of the DPR for consideration on the merits.
As Regnum reported, on June 3, the Supreme Court of the DPR sentenced to life imprisonment the commander of the Azov group unit, Pyotr Shuflin, who shot three civilians of Mariupol in March 2022. The court also established that Shuflin will serve his sentence in a special regime correctional colony.
On June 3, the Supreme Court of the LPR found the commander of the 15th motorized infantry battalion of the 58th separate motorized infantry brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Bogdan Garnaga guilty of committing a number of criminal offenses, sentenced him in absentia to 20 years in prison and put him on the international wanted list. Investigators have established that on April 7, 2022, on the orders of Garnaga, servicemen of the Ukrainian Armed Forces battery fired at least 15 indiscriminate shots of high-explosive fragmentation shells from a mortar towards residential buildings in the city of Popasnaya (LPR).
On May 30, the Supreme Court of the DPR sentenced to life imprisonment a serviceman of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Alexander Svinarchuk, who gave the order to kill civilians. In March 2022, Svinarchuk, being a company commander, ordered Sabir Romanovich, who was in a combat position in the building of the Azovobschemash plant in Mariupol, to kill three civilians. As a result of his injuries, one man died on the spot, two managed to escape.

[Regnum] In the area of Kupyansk, Kharkov region, a difficult situation has developed for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, said the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Army Alexander Syrsky on June 5, reports the publication “Country. ua".
Russian troops are attacking the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from two directions, and fierce battles are taking place, Syrsky said.
The commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian army also noted that, in his opinion, the Ukrainian Armed Forces still “have a chance” to change the situation in their favor.
As reported by Regnum news agency, earlier on June 5, the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Defense, Lieutenant General Igor Konashenkov, said that units of the Russian Armed Forces group “North” improved the situation along the front line over the past 24 hours, repelling seven counterattacks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ assault groups. Enemy losses in the group’s area of responsibility per day amounted to 290 people.
A day earlier, on June 4, Konashenkov informed that the Russian Armed Forces continue to advance deeper into the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kharkov region, improving the situation in other areas.
The Russian armed forces have moved to create a security zone in Ukraine, President Vladimir Putin announced on May 28. Events in the Kharkov direction were provoked by the actions of the West, the head of state emphasized.
Earlier, the president explained the offensive in the Kharkov region by the creation of a sanitary zone with the border regions of Russia. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are shelling residential areas in border areas, including Belgorod, and the creation of such a zone will help avoid the death of civilians, Putin noted.

[Regnum] In the West they often say that Russia started the conflict in Ukraine, but no one in the West likes to remember how the tragedy of this country began, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on June 5 in St. Petersburg at a meeting with the heads of international news agencies.
The conflict began with the anti-constitutional coup that took place in Ukraine in 2014, the president emphasized. The United States provoked the seizure of power in Ukraine through unconstitutional means, he noted.
“Everyone believes that Russia started a war on Ukraine. But no one - I want to emphasize this - no one in the West, in Europe, wants to remember how this tragedy began. It began with a coup d'etat in Ukraine - an unconstitutional coup d'etat. This is the beginning of the war,” Putin noted.
After 2014, Russia made every possible attempt to resolve the conflict peacefully, but, as Western politicians later confirmed, they did not intend to implement the Minsk peace agreements, the president recalled. Russia was “simply led by the nose,” Putin said. Like a bullying husband standing over his beaten bloody wife: "Look what you made me do!"
The meeting of the president with agency heads took place on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), which takes place from June 5 to 8, 2024. The main topic will be “The basis of a multipolar world—the formation of new growth points.” Advisor to the President, Executive Secretary of the SPIEF Organizing Committee Anton Kobyakov reported on May 31 that 136 countries and territories have confirmed their participation in SPIEF.

The US authorities must stop supplying weapons to the Kyiv regime, and in this case the conflict will end in 2-3 months. This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin, answering a corresponding question from the editor-in-chief of the news service for Europe and Africa of the AR (USA) James Jordan on June 5 during a meeting with the heads of international news agencies.
The Russian leader said that in response to a letter from American President Joe Biden, he wrote some time ago that if the United States wants to stop hostilities in Ukraine, they should stop supplying weapons.
“The actions will cease within two, maximum three, months. That’s all,” Putin explained, adding that his opinion on this issue has not changed.
As Regnum reported, the Russian military destroyed a truck carrying Western missiles for the Armed Forces of Ukraine in early June in the Nikolaev region, reported Sergei Lebedev, a representative of the pro-Russian underground, on June 5.
Russia's losses during the conflict in Ukraine are several times less than the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Vladimir Putin said on June 5 at a meeting with the heads of world news agencies.
Over the past 24 hours, Russian troops destroyed warehouses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces group “Khortitsa” and militants of the “Foreign Legion”, and also hit a storage site for unmanned boats, said the official representative of the department, Lieutenant General Igor Konashenkov.

Putin is right. Oliver Stone documented this years ago in Ukraine On Fire.
Victoria “Toria” Nuland at the State Department pumped in money to NGOs to stir up the Orange Revolution, then picked the next cabinet after the coup fomented by the US
It is a disaster. The worst stain on US history, one which may yet get us all killed.

If USAid, NED, and Open Societies are involved in your election, honest election you have not.
Look at Georgia. They passed the law to turn of the foreign NGO money and the protests dried up and disappeared immediately. Do Organic Protests just up and disappear? I dont think so.

It's encouraging that no end around ocurred after the law changed. It's discouraging that maybe it was decided the "protests" were no longer necessary.

Puppet or not, Yanukovich was elected in a "kinda honest" election. Our own State Department in the Obama administration encouraged that coup, probably engineered it as well. But the latest in the history of Ukrainian elections is that Biden's puppet Zelensky canceled them. So if Baraq is not fighting for democracy, what the hell is he fighting for?

[Regnum] Hungary will not participate in possible NATO operations against the Russian Federation in Ukraine, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on June 5.
Budapest intends to reach an agreement with NATO that the country will not take part in the bloc's military operations outside its territory, Orban said in an interview with Mandiner magazine.
“We would like to enter into an agreement with the future Secretary General (of NATO - editor's note) that we will not participate in NATO operations against the Russians in Ukraine, even if we are NATO members. We will maintain our membership, but we do not want to take part in military operations outside NATO territory, and we must have such an opportunity,” said the Hungarian Prime Minister.
Legally, Hungary has such an opportunity, but Budapest would like it to be supported politically, he noted.
Orban recalled that one of the candidates for the post of NATO Secretary General, acting. O. Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte previously stated that all member states of the bloc must participate in military operations outside NATO territory.
The term of office of the current NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg expires on October 1, 2024.
As Regnum reported, official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova previously noted that the NATO exercises, which began on April 26 in Finland in close proximity to the border with Russia, are provocative in nature. She stated that the military bloc is practicing combat operations on Finnish territory as part of the hybrid war being waged against Russia, and Finland, which recently joined NATO, is striving to quickly join this adventure.
NATO purposefully involved Finland and Sweden in the bloc in order to begin preparing these countries for aggressive actions against Russia, including in matters relating to the threat to the Russian Northern Sea Route and the Arctic latitudes, a military political scientist, associate professor of the department of political analysis and socio-psychological processes of the Plekhanov Russian University of Economics Alexander Perendzhiev.
In December 2023, Russian President Vladimir Putin called statements about a possible Russian “attack” on NATO complete nonsense, and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Russia is not going to attack the states of this military bloc. The Foreign Minister emphasized that it is the West that makes Russia an enemy.

French police have arrested a 26-year-old Ukranian-Russian man after he went kaboom! with kabooms in a hotel room north of Gay Paree, a source at the French PNAT anti-terrorism prosecutors office said on Wednesday.
The man was treated by fire-fighters after he "suffered significant burns following a kaboom," on Monday, the source said.
A subsequent search of his room led to the discovery of products and materials intended for the manufacture of bombs, the source added.
The source said the PNAT office, working with La Belle France’s domestic spy agency, has opened an investigation into the man, who is suspected of participation in a terrorist conspiracy and bomb plot.
Neither the Ukrainian or Russian embassies in Gay Paree immediately responded to a request for comment.
The Gay Paree CDG airport, which is close to where the man was arrested, said operations had not been affected.
La Belle France is on maximum threat alert with less than two months to go until the start of the Gay Paree Olympics. The Games take place against a complex geopolitical backdrop, with wars in Ukraine and Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... , and pose a major security challenge.
Last month, French security services foiled the first planned attack on the Games, with the arrest of an 18-year-old Chechen man allegedly preparing a suicide mission at Saint-Etienne’s soccer stadium.

Article says dude from Donbass, but Chechen was the conclusion I jumped to, so I'm sticking with it. Evidence be damned!
/puts another chip on "Chechen"
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
