NATO countries have exhausted their stocks of ammunition, - Alliance Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg
▪️”So far, the Allies have run out of supplies. To be able to support Ukraine is an unstable path, so we need to increase production in order to meet these new and more ambitious goals.”
▪️Stoltenberg stressed that now NATO countries should spend at least 2% of GDP on defense.

Reports from South Africa suggest that the plan might be to centre the new BRICS currency on the New Development Bank (NDB) in Shanghai, which would act as a clearing house. This seems to suggest that the NDB would become the BRICS equivalent of the IMF.

Adjudicating the Battle of Bakhmut is relatively easy when one looks at what units were brought to the table. Bakhmut burned through an enormous portion of the AFU’s inventory, including many of its veteran assault brigades, while virtually none of Russia’s conventional forces were damaged (with the notable exception of the Motor Rifle brigades that defeated the Ukrainian counterattack). Even the Pentagon has admitted that the vast majority of Russian casualties in Ukraine were convicts.
Now, this is all rather cynical - nobody can deny it. But from the unsentimental calculus of strategic logic, Russia churned through its single most disposable military asset, leaving its regular ORBAT not only completely intact, but actually larger than it was last year.

Zelensky said Ukraine was ready to launch a counter-offensive - but he noted that it could take “some time”
The President of Ukraine, in an interview with The Wall Street Journal, said that the country is ready to launch a counteroffensive, noting that “it could take some time and be costly.” At the same time, he hinted that everything could turn out not in favor of Kyiv, but the Armed Forces of Ukraine “are going to do it and are ready.”
However, this is not the first announcement of a Ukrainian counteroffensive. Earlier, a video with a loud call to “return everything that is ours” was published by the “resurrected” Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Zaluzhny. So far, Ukraine is only conducting a media counteroffensive with the help of RDK-Tiktokers who are trying to attack the borders of the Belgorod region.

Border guards of Ukraine cannot hold back the flow of departing “patriots”
▪️Up to 150 people a day receive refusals when leaving.
▪️About 20 thousand people are detained while trying to illegally cross.
▪️”Some men forge their wife’s death certificate because single parents are allowed to cross the border. Others forge documents about their children - they try to provide evidence that they allegedly have three children under the age of 18. Or documents from the military enlistment offices that they are unsuitable for military service,” a spokesman for the border guards said.

According to the “Archangel of the Special Forces”, in the area of Novaya Tavolzhanka on the border with Ukraine, the enemy’s DRG was destroyed. The enemy continues to carry out actions on the border, seeking to shift the informational focus here from the main directions where he plans to bring operational reserves into battle. Today’s reconnaissance in force in the area of the Vremievsky ledge also fits into this picture, coupled with recent attempts to probe the front near Orekhov and Gulyaipol.

The Russian Defense Ministry reported on nighttime missile strikes on the territory of Ukraine:
“Tonight, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation launched a group strike with long-range precision weapons, air-based, against enemy targets at military airfields.
- Target achieved. Command posts, radar posts, Ukrainian aviation equipment, as well as storage facilities with weapons and ammunition were hit;
— Near the city of Dnepropetrovsk, a workshop for the assembly of Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles was hit by high-precision ground-based weapons;
- In addition, the command posts of Ukrainian troops were hit in the area of the settlement of Slavyansk of the Donetsk People’s Republic and the city of Sumy.

On the evening of June 4, the enemy continued to attack on the Vremievsky ledge. By evening, the total losses of the enemy exceeded 20 units of tanks and various armored combat vehicles and several dozen killed and wounded personnel. The attacking company-tactical groups were strengthened by bringing reserve RTGs and units of the 31st Ombre into battle. The RF Armed Forces continue to strike at the attackers. It is quite possible that ours will be able to organize a meat grinder for the enemy at Kostromka and Sukhoi Stavok during the fighting in the Berislav direction.
