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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Russians seem to have nine lives. Putin was supposed to be terminal with several medical problems and Alexander Lukashenko who was poisoned is saying he will be around for years to come. The western media will have to find new fictitious problems to report.

I saw this the other day mentioned that Russia has managed this Ukraine adventure with minimum of Russian resources. The effective use of Wagner and estimated 7% of Russian resources to orchestrate this effort. The reason being luring Ukrainians into meat grinder resulting in a kill ratio of 8-1. I am seeing the same technique utilized elsewhere in Russian efforts. To myself time is of no concern to Russia. War factories operating 24/7. Why only utilize 7% because of potential of direct NATO war conflict. The long game in play here. Western media fantasies of Russian losses a psyops of a delusional mind. Every attempt is being made to divert attention to another boogeyman in the closet. Never held accountable. Never elected by the people. They simply live on. never changing.

[Regnum] Vice Speaker of the Federation Council of Russia Konstantin Kosachev announced the preparation of proposals for the creation of an international tribunal for Ukraine. He said this at the foresight forum “What kind of Ukraine do we need?” on Thursday, June 1st.
“I am personally a convinced supporter of creating my own international tribunal for what is happening in Ukraine,” RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.
Kosachev claims that this is a relevant and applied topic.
Earlier, Ukrainian opposition politician Viktor Medvedchuk proposed to organize an international trial of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and his henchmen. According to the oppositionist, this will prevent a nuclear war.
Attempts to initiate a tribunal on the events in Ukraine are also being made in Kyiv. However, they intend to judge the Russian military and political leadership there.
At the same time, the United States and its Western allies do not support Ukraine's idea of an international tribunal against Russia, as they fear a possible threat against the leaders of their states.
No doubt they also disagree with a Moscow-controlled tribunal...

[Regnum] The director of the Federal Security Service (FSB) of Russia, Alexander Bortnikov, said that the corridors created under the grain deal for the export of raw materials from Ukraine are being used for other purposes. He explained what was actually happening at a meeting of the Council of Heads of Security Agencies and Special Services of the CIS Member States on June 1 in Minsk.
“ The grain corridors created as part of the Black Sea initiative are being used to cover up attacks on the Russian coast,” Bortnikov was quoted by TASS.
The grain deal for a period of 120 days was agreed upon in July 2022 and has been extended several times. It consists of two agreements, one of which regulates the export of Ukrainian grain, the second - the access of Russian agricultural products and fertilizers to world markets.
In March 2023, Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Oleksandr Kubrakov announced that the deal had been extended for 120 days, but the Russian Foreign Ministry insisted that it was only for 60, while Moscow repeatedly pointed out that its conditions under the deal were not being met.
IA Regnum reported that on May 17, the Russian Foreign Ministry confirmed the extension of the grain deal for two months with the requirement to eliminate distortions in its implementation.
According to the official representative of the department, Maria Zakharova, the fundamental assessments of the agreements in 2022 have not changed, so the distortions must be eliminated as quickly as possible. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov spoke about the further fate of the grain agreement following his visit to Kenya . He stated that if everything remains as it is now, then it will have to be said that the grain deal no longer works.
Moscow has notified the Joint Coordinating Center of restricting the registration of ships in the port of Yuzhny due to the refusal to export ammonia, said the official representative of the UN Secretary-General Stephane Dujarric.
"Russia has informed the SCC about the decision to limit the registration of ships to the Yuzhny port until ammonia is exported," he said.
According to Dujarric, the UN is concerned about the slowdown in the execution of the Black Sea grain deal.
"We will continue to cooperate in order to fully resume operations and continue the work of the initiative. We expect that (the parties. - Note ed.) will commit themselves to the admission of vessels to all three ports without preconditions, to increase the number of successful inspections per day, predictable registration (for the passage of ships. - Approx. ed.), on the export of fertilizers, including ammonia, and the resumption (work. - Approx. ed.) of the Togliatti-Odessa ammonia pipeline," the representative of the organization emphasized.
In July last year, representatives of Russia , Ukraine, Turkey and the UN signed a package of documents defining the algorithm for the export of Ukrainian agricultural products from the Black Sea ports and providing for the removal of restrictions on the export of Russian food and fertilizers to world markets. Moscow has repeatedly noted that Ukrainian grain is sent primarily to Europe, and not to needy African countries, and the deal does not work with Russian products.
In mid-May, the Foreign Ministry announced that the deal had been extended without changes until July 17. As explained in the ministry, if five problems concerning the Russia-UN memorandum are not resolved within two months, the agreement will be terminated. We are talking about reconnecting Rosselkhozbank to SWIFT, resuming supplies of agricultural machinery and spare parts, resuscitating the Togliatti-Odessa ammonia pipeline, unblocking transport logistics and insurance, and unfreezing the assets of Russian companies.

[Regnum] The United States is most interested in preventing their expensive, fashionable weapons from getting into the Donbass. On June 1, Alexander Mikhailov , head of the Bureau of Military-Political Analysis, told an IA Regnum correspondent about this .
Military analyst Mikhailov assessed the reality of the White House forecast about the summer counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
This is how he commented on an interview with CNN by John Kirby , strategic communications coordinator at the US National Security Council , in which he promised that the Armed Forces of Ukraine would go on the offensive in the summer, but for now the White House is trying to make sure that Ukraine has "everything it needs."
According to Mikhailov, first of all, Kirby thus responds to the needs of his audience: American society and European allies. And this request is understandable – Russia’s special military operation in the Donbas has been going on for 15 months. The West poured tens of billions of dollars in support of Kyiv.
“However, the weapons that were assessed as sufficient to take control of the former territories of Ukraine and impose their geopolitical game on Russia were not enough. Now the situation is complicated by the lack of a number of weapons needed by the Ukrainian army, and the unwillingness of a number of countries to pour their expensive image weapons into this bottomless barrel,” Mikhailov said.
Accordingly, as the expert explained, military-technical assistance continues, but not in the volumes that Kyiv would like. But you have to explain yourself to Western society.
“Therefore, Kirby and the entire military-political elite of Washington are practicing forecasts about the upcoming counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine,” the military analyst stated. - This has been going on since November-December 2022. And all the time they referred either to the cold, or to the mud, or to the rains. But it should be understood that the armed forces of the XXI century can fight in any climatic conditions. If there is an order, people will attack.”
But the question is whether there is a military sense in the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and whether it will be the last large-scale event in their history. According to Mikhailov, "on the other side" they understand the futility of this large-scale maneuver.
“Therefore, I think that we need to be wary of massive drone attacks, attempts to cross the border, shelling of border areas. Here is the range of actions they are capable of, ” Mikhailov suggested.
At the same time, he noted that the Americans are most interested in ensuring that their expensive image weapons do not get into the Donbass, and they can tell and promise anything they want.
“However, the West does not have an anti-air shield against Russian offensive weapons. After the defeat of the Patriot battery near Kiev, this story began to shrink. The conversation goes on, but new batteries are no longer going there particularly actively. The same fate awaits other expensive weapons, ” the expert summed up.
Kirby, however, continues to assure the public that the United States will not stop supplying military equipment and defense systems to Ukraine in the summer of 2023. He did not name the exact timing of the Ukrainian offensive he promised, but, according to him, the US military has been in very close contact with their Ukrainian counterparts from the very beginning of planning.
However, not everyone in the West is optimistic about this counteroffensive. Skeptical statements are heard at the highest level. For example, French President Emmanuel Macron said that this whole idea could fail , and therefore, one should prepare to drag out the armed conflict in Ukraine and reconsider measures to support Kiev. In addition, Macron believes that it is time to prepare public opinion for the fact that costly support for the regime of Vladimir Zelensky can last for a very long time.
In the US itself, too, not everyone believes in the success of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Thus, expert Michael Brendan Doherty does not rule out that the counter-offensive may fail due to the low morale of the Ukrainian military, since Kiev has already encountered “difficulties in recruiting and mobilizing soldiers for its long-discussed counter-offensive.”
John Kirby, strategic communications coordinator at the US National Security Council , said when to finally expect a widely publicized counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which should bring the Russian army to its knees: the offensive will definitely begin this summer. Apparently, Mr. Kirby took up the parable of the donkey, the padishah and Khoja Nasreddin - he could just as well announce an imminent counteroffensive this year or this five-year period. If we compare the past statements of talking heads in the West with the current ones, the deliberate streamlining of the wording and the desire to air something reminiscent of decisiveness, confidence and the presence of at least some specific plans backed up by real opportunities catches the eye.
Especially Mr. Kirby's speech contrasts with the hysteria that has recently reigned in the leading Western media. Here are just a few examples of headlines from homepages:
May 1: "Ukraine is preparing for a decisive counteroffensive";
May 9: "Ukrainian authorities hope for a counteroffensive against Russia";
May 12: "Ukrainian counter-offensive: the decisive moment is coming in the war";
May 27: " Ukraine's successful campaign could force President Putin to suffer a total defeat";
May 28: "Ukraine is ready to launch the long-awaited offensive";
May 29: "Exclusive: Ukraine is preparing a counteroffensive at the front in the Bakhmut area";
May 30: "Ukrainian killing blow is ready."
We see that the Western establishment, directly, indirectly, officially, unofficially, from the side, from above and completely in the face, demanded and continues to demand from Ukraine a victorious counteroffensive, which is just a little bit left - but it is still not observed even close.
Moreover, Ukrainian officials are playing for time in every possible way, inventing excuses and setting new conditions: either they need a specific and obviously unrealistic number of tanks, or they fundamentally need American aircraft, or they need more time, and so on.
But Western creditors are showing Ukraine a ticking counter, the secret services are shaking the dossier with compromising evidence, and military advisers are actually poking a stick in the back and being driven into battle.
And just yesterday, French President Emmanuel Macron voiced a collective black mark to Ukraine: "The West will reconsider support for the Armed Forces of Ukraine if the counteroffensive fails."
What should Zelensky, Syrsky, Podolyaks and the ghosts of Zaluzhny do?
And then someone - most likely, the head of the GUR of Ukraine Budanov - at the suggestion of the curators came up with a great idea: let's counterattack on the Internet, if you don't feel like it and pricks on the ground.
And in the course of developing this brilliant idea, PR campaigns were carried out, aimed at a Western audience and disguised as military operations. Here and the entry of several DRGs into Russian territory, and the flight of a drone to the Kremlin, and shelling of Russian border settlements with civilians, and an attempt to attack Moscow with a swarm of drones. This was what was passed off as a loudly voiced counteroffensive.
However, these attacks had a near-zero effect militarily, and there are serious doubts that they will be accepted in the West "in offset". According to the same Kirby, the United States "does not want and does not support attacks (of Ukraine) on Russian territory." These words, of course, are worthless, but they clearly mean that these actions will definitely not be attached to the Ukrainian report on the use of multibillion-dollar funds in the "counteroffensive" column.
But what we will add to our dossier is the terrorism of the Ukrainian authorities. Not being able to defeat Russia on the battlefield, they decided to make war on the civilian population - and one way or another it will come to them in a very big side.
In the light of recent events, opinions are often heard that we need to "mirror", that is, stop being white knights on a noble horse and answer with an eye for an eye.
But the Russian army is not the Armed Forces of Ukraine, we will never deal with the destruction of the civilian population. Every day we learn (sometimes anew) and become stronger, and we do not need to look up to the terrorists.
According to recent classified reports to the US leadership by the think tanks RAND Corporation and the Center for a New American Security, training the Armed Forces of Ukraine according to NATO standards and pumping Ukraine with the most modern Western weapons benefits the Russian Armed Forces, since we have the opportunity to train "on cats" and develop skills to counter Western military equipment, NATO standards of operational control and military tactics.
In fact, NATO teaches us to fight with them, but they themselves do not receive such experience, and now demands are being made to "stop training Russians." Did you think you were in a fairy tale?
As for the counter-offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, regardless of whether it remains in the form of beautiful headlines in the Western media or a gang in Kiev still decides to rush into a suicidal raid this summer, this autumn or this century, this will not affect the goals and objectives of the NWO from the word "no way".

[Regnum] The Federal Security Service, together with the Federal Security Service, uncovered an intelligence operation by American intelligence agencies using Apple technology, the FSB Public Relations Center reported on June 1.
“In the course of ensuring the security of the Russian telecommunications infrastructure, anomalies were identified that are specific only to users of Apple mobile phones and are caused by the operation of previously unknown malicious software (VPO) that uses software vulnerabilities provided by the manufacturer,” the department informed .
As the FSB found out, several thousand Apple mobile devices were infected with viruses. Malicious software, in addition to domestic subscribers, was found on equipment registered with the diplomatic missions of NATO member countries, the CIS, Israel, Syria and China in Russia.
The information received indicates close cooperation between Apple and the US National Security Agency and contradicts the company's stated privacy policy, the FSB stressed. The department added that Apple provides American intelligence services with great opportunities for surveillance and control of any persons, including allies of the States and its own citizens.
This is not the first time that the United States has been caught in espionage, which targets not only Washington's declared opponents, but also allies.
So, for example, in April, IA Regnum reported with reference to the German media that the US intelligence report leaked to the Network contained data on surveillance by American intelligence services of representatives of the defense departments of Germany and China during a meeting on February 20 in Berlin. Washington did not respond to requests from publications asking them to confirm the authenticity of excerpts from the reports. Berlin also did not respond to information about surveillance of German officials.
The use of iPhones for official purposes in the Presidential Administration is unacceptable. This was announced at a briefing on June 1 by the press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov.
“The use of them [gadgets] for official purposes is unacceptable and prohibited,” Peskov said.
The Kremlin spokesman added that for personal purposes, many continue to use iPhones - about 20-30%. Peskov added that this information deserves attention.
In addition, whether or not to impose a ban on the use of iPhones for personal purposes will depend on the recommendations of the security services. According to the press secretary, what additional restrictions are needed are better known to the special services.
As IA Regnum reported , the FSB, together with the FSO, uncovered the intelligence operation of the US special services with the help of electronics from the American company Apple. Several thousand iPhones have been infected with viruses intended for surveillance.
The Russian Foreign Ministry reported on June 1 that US intelligence agencies have been using IT corporations for decades to collect data on Internet users without the knowledge of the latter. Evidence of such illegal activity appears every year, the Russian diplomatic department clarified. At the same time, it is noted that Russia has repeatedly raised the issue of restoring order in this area and developing universal norms of behavior in the digital space at all specialized international platforms.
US intelligence agencies have developed malicious software (software) and introduced it into the iPhone in order to circumvent the measures taken by Russian law enforcement agencies to ensure the security of data of domestic telecom operators. This was told to a correspondent of IA Regnum by a professor of the Department of Security in the Digital World of Moscow State Technical University. N. E. Bauman, an expert in the field of information security Vitaly Vekhov . He also told what is important to pay attention to in order to secure your gadget.
PROFESSOR VEKHOV TOLD HOW APPLE USERS CAN SECURE THEIR GADGETS
Earlier, the FSB of Russia reported that counterintelligence had uncovered an operation by US intelligence agencies to infect thousands of Apple smartphones with malware , which also belonged to foreign diplomats in Moscow. Russian subscribers were infected, as well as foreign numbers and subscribers using SIM cards registered with diplomatic missions and embassies in the Russian Federation, including NATO and post-Soviet member countries, as well as Israel, Syria and China.
The report notes that mobile devices worked with abnormal failures that were caused by malware. The FSB said that the information received indicates that Apple is working closely with the US national intelligence community.
Professor of Moscow State Technical University Vekhov explained the situation by the fact that American legislation regarding the protection of personal data is extraterritorial.
"They set the rules and distribute their current legislation in violation of all other national laws of other countries. At the factory stage, they solder a microchip onto the motherboard, on which a code is pre-embedded, which is transferred to the security agency in order to remotely conduct reconnaissance and illegally download data without the permission of the subscriber. This has been happening for a long time," says Vekhov.
According to him, it is not surprising that the Americans needed the introduction of malware.
"Viruses were developed to overcome the blocks, the protection that our law enforcement officers demanded some time ago from telecom operators to ensure the security of user data," the expert explains.
Vekhov noted that when a smartphone requests an operating system update, the process of the same data transfer to the US National Security Agency starts. The specialist recommended that users of foreign smartphones and gadgets, especially the Apple brand, download the standard - the security certificate of the Ministry of Digital Development of the Russian Federation in order to protect themselves and their personal data under Russian law.
The opinion of the professor of Moscow State Technical University. N. E. Bauman is also shared by Denis Kuskov, CEO of the information and analytical agency TelecomDaily . He also drew attention to the information, which had previously been actively advertised, about special chips built into imported smartphones directly at manufacturing plants.
"Smartphone is a possibility to receive data. Now there is a lot of information about smartphone security issues. Before that, it was said that a certain amount of equipment was equipped with malware directly at the factories. But while we do not have our own telecommunications equipment, our analogues, we use American developments," Kuskov emphasizes.
However, both experts do not think that FSB reports about infected smartphones will somehow affect the use of foreign equipment. According to Kuskov, the sale of Apple branded equipment has already decreased. But this is a situation that does not depend on the information of the FSB, but a consequence of the difficulty in executing parallel imports.
The Russian Foreign Ministry responded to reports from the Security Service about American malware. The agency noted that the intelligence services of the United States have been using IT corporations for decades to collect data on Internet users without the knowledge of the latter.
Press Secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov said at a briefing on June 1 that the use of iPhones for official purposes in the Presidential Administration is unacceptable.
As IA Regnum reported with reference to the German media, earlier in the US intelligence report leaked to the Network there was data on the surveillance of American intelligence agencies over representatives of the defense departments of Germany and China during a meeting on February 20 in Berlin. Washington did not respond to requests from publications asking them to confirm the authenticity of excerpts from the reports.
Kaspersky Lab has detected a targeted cyberattack on Apple devices of its employees, the press service of the organization said .
Kaspersky Lab has detected a cyberattack on Apple devices of its employees
“The purpose of the attack was to quietly introduce a spyware module into the iPhone of company employees ,” the report says.
It turned out that several dozen iPhone owners among the company's employees were found to have a new, technologically sophisticated spyware called "Triangulation".
The company said that the attack was carried out using an invisible message with a virus, which, using vulnerabilities in the iOS operating system, installs spyware on the device. At the same time, the implementation of the program was completely covert. The spyware program itself transmits recordings from a microphone, photos from instant messengers, location and other personal information of the owner to remote services.
It is noted that the investigation of the spy operation "Triangulation" has just begun.
As IA Regnum reported , the FSB, together with the FSO, uncovered an intelligence operation by the US special services using electronics from the American company Apple. Several thousand iPhones have been infected with viruses.
At the same time, the Russian Foreign Ministry reported that US intelligence services have been using IT corporations for decades to collect data on Internet users without the knowledge of the latter. Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov also commented on this situation. According to a Kremlin spokesman, the use of iPhones for official purposes in the Presidential Administration is prohibited and unacceptable. He added that for personal purposes, many continue to use iPhones - about 20-30%.
On June 1, Vitaly Borodin, head of the Federal Project for Security and Combating Corruption, wrote an appeal to Prosecutor General Igor Krasnov with a request to open a criminal case on espionage against Apple employees and US intelligence. The corresponding letter appeared at the disposal of the editors of IA Regnum.
Borodin called for a response to the FSB report about the disclosed operation of American intelligence services using Apple smartphones. Malicious spyware has been detected on several thousand devices. They were on the gadgets of Russian citizens, as well as employees of the diplomatic departments of China, Syria, Israel, the CIS and NATO member countries.
“The actions of unidentified persons who are employees of the American company Apple, as well as employees of American intelligence organizations, contain signs of crimes under Art. 272, 272 and 276 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, namely: “Illegal access to computer information”, “Creation, use and distribution of malicious computer programs” and “Espionage”, wrote Borodin.
He noted that the FSB assessed the information received as confirmation of Apple's cooperation with US intelligence, although this is contrary to the privacy policy declared by the company.
As IA Regnum reported , on June 1, Kaspersky Lab announced a targeted cyberattack on Apple devices of its employees. The purpose of the attack was the covert introduction of spyware. It was found on dozens of iPhone devices. Attackers sent invisible messages with viruses to gadgets. The spyware sent personal information about the owner to remote services.

They just figured out that Apple listens in. I knew that 20 years ago.
The question is: Why are you using your consumer grade equipment for what should be a secure function. Big no-no.

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:
[ColonelCassad] 1. Despite the attacks and shelling of the border areas, there is no fundamental increase in the number of OSG "Kharkov" and OTG "Sumy". Attacks are carried out from available forces with the involvement of information and propaganda structures of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense.
2. The main reserves that were transferred to the Kharkov direction (via Kharkov, Chuguev and Izyum) were sent to the Kupyanskoe and Svatovskoe directions.
3. The command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in its internal documents separately indicates the importance of demonstration and simulation activities, including by simulating the movement of columns to create the appearance of an accumulation of forces for a large offensive in order to force the RF Armed Forces to transfer operational reserves here, thereby weakening the main sectors of the front.
4. The shelling, the actions of the DRG and the activity of the IPSO are intended to give the impression that a larger action is being prepared. The command of OSG "Kharkiv" and OTG "Sumy", as well as the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense and the Security Service of Ukraine, are actively coordinated in the formation of a virtual threat of an attack on Belgorod, which is also manifested in the public narratives of the IPSO and internal documents of the above structures.
5. As before, the main reserves of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are concentrated partly in the Zaporozhye direction, partly in the central regions of Ukraine. The Zaporozhye direction is still a priority for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which is clearly seen in the concentration of people and equipment in the rear areas, from where they can move to the forefront within a day as part of the implementation of offensive plans.
The best way to reduce the enemy's ability to shell the border areas is to establish and maintain control over the northern regions of the Kharkov, Sumy and Chernihiv regions.
PS. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, the enemy lost up to 30 people, several wheeled and tracked vehicles, as well as one 122mm BM-21 Grad MLRS during today's battles.
PS2. The head of the Shebekinsky district was awarded the Order of Courage for selfless work during the shelling today. Completely deserved.
At about three o'clock in the morning, after intensive shelling, Ukrainian terrorist formations with forces of up to two motorized infantry companies, reinforced with tanks, attempted to invade the territory of the Russian Federation in the area of the settlement of Novaya Tavolzhanka and the Shebekino international automobile checkpoint;
Russian servicemen repelled three attacks by Ukrainian terrorist groups;
Army aviation of the Western Military District delivered eleven blows to the enemy;
Rocket troops and artillery carried out 77 fire missions, two hits were delivered by heavy flamethrower systems;
The terrorist formations of the Kyiv regime, having suffered significant losses, were driven back, violations of the state border were not allowed;
More than 30 Ukrainian terrorists, four armored combat vehicles, a Grad MLRS multiple launch rocket launcher, and one pickup truck were killed in the border area from Ukraine.
