Part 1 (see Part 2)
◽️The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continue a special military operation in Ukraine.
◽️On June 20, at about 5 o’clock in the morning, the Kiev regime made another crazy attempt to take possession of Serpent ‘s Island .
◽️The plan of the operation of the Kyiv regime provided for the infliction of massive air and artillery strikes on the island of Serpents, followed by a landing and its capture.
◽️More than 15 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles in strike and reconnaissance performance were involved in the air raid, which were guided by two unmanned aerial vehicles “Bayraktar TB-2” .
◽️In addition, a strategic reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicle of the US Air Force “Global Hawk” RQ-4 was detected by Russian means at high altitudes in the airspace near Zmeiny Island .
◽️The anti-aircraft cover of Ukrainian UAVs was provided by S-300 anti-aircraft missile systems from combat positions in the Tuzla and Ochakov areas.
◽️Rocket and artillery strikes on Zmeiny Island were delivered by Ukrainian Tochka-U ballistic missiles, Uragan multiple launch rocket systems and M-777 155-mm howitzers from firing positions west of Odessa and on Kubansky Island.
💥Russian air defense systems: the Pantsir anti-aircraft missile and gun system and the Tor anti-aircraft missile system destroyed all enemy weapons fired at Zmeiny Island.
💥Shot down in the air: 13 unmanned aerial vehicles, four Tochka-U missiles and 21 Uragan multiple rocket launchers. None of the Ukrainian fire weapons reached the target on Zmeiny Island.
◽️The failed fire defeat forced the enemy to abandon the landing on Snake Island .
◽️Convinced of the failure of the attempt to seize the island, the Kyiv regime went on a new adventure in relation to the Russian gas infrastructure in the northwestern part of the Black Sea.
◽️After 8 am, the BK-1 and Krym-1 gas production platforms were hit by anti-ship missiles and the Bayraktar TB-2 unmanned aerial vehicle .
◽️As a result of the Ukrainian provocation, a strong fire started on the BK-1 platform, and a threat of an ecological catastrophe was created in this area of the Black Sea.
◽️In response to the sabotage by the Kyiv regime, Onyx cruise missiles at the Shkolny military airfield near Odessa destroyed hangars with Ukrainian Bayraktar-TB2 unmanned aerial vehicles identified during the operation by Russian reconnaissance equipment.
◽️Two artillery platoons of 155-mm M-777 howitzers were destroyed on Kubansky Island.
💥In addition, Russian Aerospace Forces aircraft destroyed two launchers of the S-300 anti-aircraft missile system in the Ochakov and Tuzla regions of the Odessa region.
💥 The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continue to strike at military facilities on the territory of Ukraine.
💥Air-launched high-precision missiles destroyed four ammunition depots in the areas of Mirnaya Dolina, Loskutovka, Podlesne of the Luhansk People’s Republic, as well as the Buk-M1 anti-aircraft missile system in the area of the Seversk settlement of the Donetsk People’s Republic.
💥In addition, manpower, military equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and nationalist formations, including the Right Sector, were defeated in the areas of the settlements of Belaya Gora, Novodruzhesk, Mirnaya Dolina, Podlesnoye and Volcheyarovka .

◽️At the same time, the grouping of Ukrainian troops in the Lisichansk region is cut off from supplies and is under the fire control of the Russian armed forces.
◽️According to the testimony of Ukrainian prisoners, units of the 79th Airborne Assault Brigade were abandoned by their command . The only thing left for the surviving soldiers was to surrender in order to save their lives.
◽️The 57th Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is in the same condition, whose commander, after the loss of two-thirds of the personnel, begged the command of the group to report the true state of affairs to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and Zelensky personally.
◽️Against the backdrop of military failures, the Kiev regime continues stuffing in the best traditions of Kvartal-95 in order to somehow stop the panic and flight of its military personnel from the Donbass .

Ministry of Defense of Russia
“Don’t kid yourself. Russia is invading Ukraine for control of petroleum reserves and pipeline routes to Europe.”
I’m not kidding...
Looks like Russia continues to win.
Crude oil on 3/1/22 = $75
Curde oil on 6/21/22 = $109
Russian oil income just increased by almost 50%.
Now, that’s losing real big. Right? See Putin run and watch us poor fools pay $100 to put gas in our cars.
The cause of World War II was the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution in Russia. Russian communism threatened to take over Europe. Germany was the only country which came up with a plan powerful to take on the Soviet Union. But first Hitler had to unite Europe. Hitler united Europe using force. That was successful until Hitler ran up against the United States and Britain. We didn’t want to be ruled by an iron fist.
The lesson is that Hitler failed by failing to unite Europe. The only way to keep Putin and Russia from conquering Europe outright is to voluntarily unite with the entirety of Europe, and voluntarily place our economies on a war footing. Until this happens we’re just spittin’ in the wind.
New from Moon of Alabama
Ukraine SitRep - Lysichansk Cauldron - Sinking Morale - More Provocations
The former CIA and intelligence bigwig Graham Fuller predicts a gloomy outcome of the U.S-Russia proxy war in Ukraine. Gloomy for Ukraine, the U.S. and Europe:
Contrary to Washington’s triumphalist pronouncements, Russia is winning the war, Ukraine has lost the war. Any longer-term damage to Russia is open to debate.
American sanctions against Russia have turned out to be far more devastating to Europe than to Russia. The global economy has slowed and many developing nations face serious food shortages and risk of broad starvation.
There are already deep cracks in the European façade of so-called “NATO unity.” Western Europe will increasingly rue the day that it blindly followed the American Pied Piper to war against Russia. Indeed, this is not a Ukrainian-Russian war but an American-Russian war fought by proxy to the last Ukrainian.
[rest at link]
The word is "Nazis." Putin has invariably spoken of the "de-Nazification" of Ukraine as one of his chief war goals.
Funny how Macgregor side-steps that issue! His response to this question here is completely off-topic!
Regards,
Yes, Kazan was wrong, but there were a lot of people in the IC that thought the same. Believe it or not, there were a lot of Russian supporting people in the Russian initial path toward Kiev. That is why the 40 mile convoy never got hit.
But Kiev itself turned out to have more teeth than they thought.
I agree with every single word of that Graham Fuller analysis
Contrary to optimistic declarations, NATO may in fact ultimately emerge weakened. Western Europeans will think long and hard about the wisdom and deep costs of provoking deeper long term confrontations with Russia or other “competitors”of the US.
Europe will sooner or later return to the purchase of inexpensive Russian energy. Russia lies on the doorstep and a natural economic relationship with Russia will possess overwhelming logic in the end.
Europe already perceives the US as a declining power with an erratic and hypocritical foreign policy “vision” premised upon the desperate need to preserve “American leadership” in the world. America’s willingness to go to war to this end is increasingly dangerous to others.
Those pull quotes jumped out at me too.
Our allies must hesitate to follow our lead, we seem to be in an insane path, up to and including risking nuclear war to maintain American hegemony.
I wonder what the Lithuanian leaders were paid to get them to pull the pin on the grenade they are holding to their chest? Must have been a lot.
What did you think of this Russian note?
“In addition, a strategic reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicle of the US Air Force “Global Hawk” RQ-4 was detected by Russian means at high altitudes in the airspace near Zmeiny Island.”
We apparently stage managed last night’s attack on Snake Island. A Muskova encore. Why do we keep poking the bear? Even if they do nothing about our moving more and more into the role of a “belligerent” right now there will eventually be payback.
“NATO may in fact ultimately emerge weakened”
It wouldn’t surprise me if NATO came out broken. Not even up to paper tiger status.
Well, he’s just a talking head pundit, not a prophet.
At least he’s changing his views to match reality - unlike those that will die on the hill of their first impression or internal bias, in the name of consistency.
Never believe a general, and only half of the retired colonels - retired colonels didn’t make the Star Club for usually two reasons, truth-telling or lunacy.
“At least he’s changing his views to match reality - unlike those that will die on the hill of their first impression or internal bias, in the name of consistency”
Like still claiming the Ukes are surrounded. Some people just cant admit when they are wrong.
“Ukraine suffering up to 1,000 casualties per day in Donbas, MP says”
Key word is “up to” which is anywhere from 1 to 1000.
If it was really 1000 per day. The war would be over and Russia would have all the cities.
But they dont now do they?
interesting, thanks
Yes, I think Biden was hoping that getting the country worked up about “Russia, Russia, Russia” would work like magic as it always does and he badly needed a distraction.
But, this evil plan for a proxy war was actually hatched in the Obama/Biden administration.
By the way, we fund this Rand Corp. research. We paid for the report.
Overextending and Unbalancing Russia
Assessing the Impact of Cost-Imposing Options
Rand Report 2019
This brief summarizes a report that comprehensively examines nonviolent, cost-imposing options that the United States and its allies could pursue across economic, political, and military areas to stress—overextend and unbalance—Russia’s economy and armed forces and the regime’s political standing at home and abroad. Some of the options examined are clearly more promising than others, but any would need to be evaluated in terms of the overall U.S. strategy for dealing with Russia, which neither the report nor this brief has attempted to do.
Providing lethal aid to Ukraine would exploit Russia’s greatest point of external vulnerability. But any increase in U.S. military arms and advice to Ukraine would need to be carefully calibrated to increase the costs to Russia of sustaining its existing commitment without provoking a much wider conflict in which Russia, by reason of proximity, would have significant advantages.”
And so they chose Ukraine as the “greatest point of external vulnerability” for Russia.
Part of that plan was “buying” Ukraine for $5 billion dollars and bringing about regime change there by installing our own puppet.
Turns out that this did not provide as much “Russian vulnerability” as they were expecting.
