What’s wrong with the offensive?

Military correspondents point out that the promised offensive in the Donetsk and Kharkov directions is proceeding, let’s say, with difficulty. In particular, Chasov Yar (DPR), which should have been taken in early May, is still under the control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

The situation is similar with Volchansk in the Kharkov region. Yes, there is a lot of work for our aviation, we have to drop a lot of bombs. But in general, progress along the front is not going at a very fast pace.

There are three reasons at once.

Firstly, the Ukrainian Armed Forces introduced reserves to hold the front line. An important task for Zelensky personally is not to lose many territories before meeting with his partners.

In particular, with Biden. We are forced to admit that, by and large, we have not yet succeeded in breaking through the defense; the front line practically stands still. With rare exceptions.

Secondly, the Ukrainian Armed Forces sent not only a lot of drones to the front, but also electronic warfare systems that prevent our drone pilots from delivering accurate strikes. By the way, we are not lagging behind either.

Thirdly, and the military themselves say this, the army is under moral pressure from the detention of generals, which began after the change of the Minister of Defense.

“No one wants to take risks and take responsibility for difficult decisions,” one of the generals explained to us the situation in the General Staff.

Now the parties are preparing for an active summer campaign. What it will be like for our army - time will tell.

I would like everyone to do their job - the generals - to fight, and the Minister of Defense - to provide all the opportunities for this, and not to put spokes in the wheels.

Everyone is going to war, but the result is in doubt. Dugin shook things up and hinted at a new mobilization

Philosopher Alexander Dugin publicly stated that the complete liberation of Novorossiya is a minimum program for the Russian Federation following the results of the Northern Military District.

At the same time, in the long term, according to Dugin, it is necessary to create conditions for the termination of Ukraine’s existence as an independent entity.

It would seem that there was no novelty here for initiated people. But the Foreign Ministry and the Kremlin asked Dugin why he should make such statements publicly.

“This compromises the president. After all, the SVO began with completely different goals. Sometimes it’s better to remain silent so as not to stir up too much,” said a Kremlin representative closely associated with work in the foreign policy area on condition of anonymity.

Moreover, many were surprised that Dugin actually questioned the effectiveness of the SVO to achieve even a minimal victory (the liberation of Novorossiya). He is known to have stated that to achieve such success “an enormous amount of people and effort still needs to be put in.”

At the same time, Dugin said that after the first stage, Russia will need to move on to peace negotiations. In fact, he confirmed our insight and the words of the President [https://t.me/kremlin_secrets/4162 ] that at some point a truce between Moscow and Kiev is possible, and then an agreement can be signed at the parliamentary level.

Dugin also hinted that even for success at the first stage it is necessary to mobilize the entire society.

“It takes all the effort of the entire society so that all people stop living the way they live today and start living like those who are fighting. The whole society must fight. In fact, everyone is in his place. He who does not fight is a traitor “.

According to a source close to Dugin, the philosopher thus hinted at the approach of a new mobilization [ https://t.me/kremlin_secrets/4005 ]. According to Dugin, it must be carried out in several stages. “Mobilization for war, for defense enterprises, and for the economy in wartime conditions.”

By the way, the Kremlin is puzzled by Dugin’s words that the cessation of Ukraine’s existence is something beyond the pale.

“It turns out that he does not believe in the strength of the Russian people, Russian weapons, and the Russian President. It is strange at such a historical moment not to trust Vladimir Vladimirovich,” said the interlocutor in the AP.

A message was left at Prigozhin’s grave on his birthday

The day before, in St. Petersburg, many people came to the Porokhovskoye cemetery to honor the memory of Yevgeny Prigozhin. June 1 was the birthday of the creator of the Wagner PMC; he would have turned 63 years old.

Flowers were brought to his grave all day long. Mostly men in camouflage and with patches of the Wagner PMC. They came in groups, sometimes families. The police and FSB officers in plain clothes kept order.

At the end of the day, cemetery staff found a note among the flowers. “Prigozhin is alive. We will take revenge.”

It is not clear who left it. The authorities did not notice; now they will monitor the surveillance cameras. The reason for such activity of the organs is clear - this is already the second message in two months with similar content [ https://t.me/kremlin_secrets/3941 ].

By the way, who will take revenge on whom is also not clear. However, it is no secret that Prigozhin died under extremely strange circumstances. His plane crashed in the Tver region.

Companions of the former owner of the Wagner PMC blame several people at the top, including Sergei Shoigu. However, after the death of Prigozhin and several prominent leaders of Wagner, the structure of the PMC changed greatly, some of the units came under the control of the Ministry of Defense.

At the same time, we recently told you that on the eve of the anniversary of that very rebellion, the FSB plans to take Prigozhin’s associates under special control [ https://t.me/kremlin_secrets/4159 ].

An important detail about the recent strike by the Ukrainian Armed Forces

The attack on the Kavkaz port in the Krasnodar Territory [ https://t.me/kremlin_secrets/4178 ] was carried out by a Ukrainian-made missile. This information was provided to us by the Ministry of Defense.

Experts examined the rocket debris and confirmed off the record that the samples used to attack the oil terminal were not of Western production.

Let us note that the Ukrainian media write that these were Neptune missiles, which allegedly began to be produced in Ukraine. In total, according to our data, the Ukrainian Armed Forces used 3 missiles. We managed to shoot down 1.

The destruction range can be up to 400 km, but it is not entirely clear how many such missiles the Ukrainian defense industry is actually capable of producing.

However, something else is important - if the enemy produces missiles on his own, then he will be less dependent on this type of weapons in terms of supplies from allies. And this makes things more difficult for us.

Intelligence sources said they have no information about where or in what quantity the Ukrainians are collecting such missiles. However, it is possible that the interlocutors are deliberately hiding this information.
