This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Small arms, ATGMs, MANPADS, loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles, trailers and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When the origin of a piece of equipment can't be established, it is not included in the list. The Soviet flag is used when the equipment in question was produced prior to 1991. This list is constantly updated as additional footage becomes available.

Spartz-Yermak-Demchenko
Attacks by Victoria Spartz Against Andrea Yermak:
Today there was first casualty or result of that attack a person named Ruslan Denshenko who was fired. He’s a Deputy Head of Ukraine Security and Defense Council. It’s pretty important organization (or it’s believed to be important). He was also seems to be an adviser to President Zelenski.
He was alleged to have connections with Russia, specifically in 2010. He was a cheerleading and lobbying on Russia’s behalf, signing an agreement with Russia, under which Russia got its military base in Crimea. That base later was used as a source of attack to capture Crimea from Ukraine in 2014.
He basically worked for Ex-President Yanukovych government all the time; he was pretty closely wired into that system. He’s definitely lower ranking person in this whole network,
It looks like this is the strategy of Zelenski to give up lower ranking figures so he can keep Andrea Yermak working for him. This looks like a helicopter throwing off flares so that the rocket goes in the wrong direction
What this really means that the Zelenski managed to await Victoria Spartz attack he had to kind of give up low ranking figure in his team but he managed to keep the high-ranking figure in his team.
This is the latest development on this whole fight scandal. We also observed there is a lot of opportunists outside of Ukraine who try to to use this scandal to blame Ukraine, proving does not deserve any help from the West. That’s obviously wrong. This is what the Russian propaganda wants to project in the Western world.
It’s not about her attacking the person who she believes is not right person in Ukrainian governments. Ukraine and the Ukrainian government are totally do different things. It’s about citizens of Ukraine,
This is the huge difference between her idea and what Russian propaganda is trying to project into the world: Ukraine is corrupt, therefore don’t help Ukraine.
Well, that’s not the case.
••It’s about helping Ukrainian people who are fighting for their right for self-determination.••
That’s a huge difference between the two approaches, and it’s a very clever manipulation by Russia propaganda - nevertheless many politicians in the West fall for it.
German Gepards:
Ukraine got today 3 Gepards from Germany - reviewed them here sometime in early May.
https://tankhistoria.com/cold-war/gepard/
They are decent equipment, but this is obviously old equipment; it’s definitely not a wonder weapon.
It’s definitely going to help Ukrainian forces, but three units are not going to make huge difference, not to mention, that the most important part of it is the radar, which can see impeding Russian air strikes; that’s the biggest so asset of this of this machine.
While the guns are capable, they are designed with WWII planes in mind. Ukraine going to get 27 more of this so the total number will be about 30.
UK’s Alvis Stormer HVM:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alvis_Stormer
Ukraine got 6. The importance of this it actually has anti-air missiles and it has a radar that covers 18 kilometers. This allows really actually execute attacks and offenses by Ukrainian troops so now they have some kind of cover. Uses Starstreak or Martlet missiles.
At 18 kilometers, it really means that no Russian attack helicopter can approach and most of their Russian tactical bombers will also stay away. This gives pretty good protection for Ukrainian troops on the ground, if they decide to do attacks again. Only six right now, but there are more coming.
These pieces of equipment are really something that would be helpful for Ukrainian forces to be able to switch from the tactics of rigid defense to tactic of either active defense or even or even offensive tactic.
Polish PT- 91 Tanks:
(Edit: PT-91 “Twardy” main battle tank (based on T-72M1 main battle tank, 233 built, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PT-91_Twardy).
This is really Soviet T-72 tank, a modernized T-72 tank, modernized in mid-90s. It’s a pretty decent tank,
Ukraine is apparently is getting a couple hundred of those from Poland, and it’s not clear some of them may have been already delivered.
It looks like it’s on top of the prior delivery when Poland just gave Ukraine unmodernized T-72.
That’s definitely helpful, even though based on the feedback from the Ukrainian crews, they actually prefer T-64 over T-72.
They are basically very similar machines - it’s just different engineering bureaus worked on them. T-72 was designed in the Urals near Yekaterinburg - a major Russian tank building factory.
The Ukraine T-64 was designed in Kharkiv and but that plant is essentially destroyed and not really capable of producing at this time.

Summary:
Ukrainian troops are in process of losing Novoluganske and Vuglegirsk power plant.
Key areas:
- Izyum bridgehead: no changes
- North Donbass area: no changes.
Very strong attack at Vuglegirsk power plant near Svitlodarsk, and at Novoluganske.
This led to creating small bottleneck through which supply of Ukrainian troops is not possible, so it will lead to their retreat from the area.
- Donetsk West: no changes
- Kherson bridgehead:
Indirect evidence supports idea that Ukrainian troops are attempting attack without much success.
1. Kharkiv: No changes.
••Small scale Orc attack toward Kharkiv.
2. Izyum bridgehead. No changes.
3. North Donbass:
In process of losing Vuglegirsk power plant and Novoluganske.
••Only one road, under Orc fire, left for retreat. UA defenses collapsing.
4. West of Donetsk: Avdiyivka and Maryinka. No changes.
5. Vugledar: No changes.
6. Velyka Novosilka - Gulyapole stretch of frontline. No changes.
7. Kherson bridgehead:
Unsuccessful Ukrainian attack.
••UA troops, 28th B at Davydiv Brid trying to break out toward Nova Kakhovka, but not successfully. Orcs put pontoon bridge over Inlets bridge which had been previously damaged. Russian command doubling down with column of troops going through Melitopol’ towards Kherson bridgehead. Russian command seems to have decided to hold the area at all costs.
Your obsessing with it is even more so.
One wonders where they will get the money, the high tech chips and much of the other essentials, given the sanctions and their collapsing economy to build anything.
You want to caution some of the more passionate ukes in the cause. Ukraine has begun to blacklist American conservatives who question US involvement in the Ukraine war.
I get the passion. But know that this looks bad. That is, this looks like the Ukrainians are taking sides with the democrats in internal American politics.
Most conservatives think that this is an unnecessary war brought on by Biden’s weakness. That if Trump were president —Putin would not have invaded Ukraine.
President Trump himself was interested in a rapproachment with the Russians as a way to counter balance the Chinese—in a reverse of what Kissenger did in 1971 with China. (At that time Russia was the senior partner between Russia and China. Now its the reverse.)
People get that if the russians succeed according to whatever counts as success to them—they will want more lands further west. So its best to stop them in Ukraine.
But all this is distant distant from America. Most Americans cannot point out Ukraine on the map. So Ukraine’s support in America is not iron clad.
Republicans will likely regain their majorities in Congress in November.
There is no chance this war will end before then. It will just go on and on. The Russians would like to end it now when they are ahead. Its unlikely that they will agree to end the war when/if Ukraine takes back their land.
You need to tell every uke you can find to avoid taking sides in American politics.
“Ukraine has begun to blacklist American conservatives who question US involvement in the Ukraine war.”
At this point most conservatives politicians support Ukraine. So yes Ukraine should just ignore those who dont. This is one
rare event in US politics where both sides of the aisle are in agreement. Ukraine shouldnt screw that up.
Make no mistake. Putin made a catastrophic, strategically disastrous decision when he chose to invade Ukraine. With one stroke he negated much of what was accomplished leading the Russian nation to a rebirth after being subjected to over ninety years of debilitating, soul crushing communism. There are far too many on these threads who take gleeful pleasure in the destruction, the deaths and maiming of these young men on both sides.
Yet Americans ought to reflect how many of us would even exist if not for the incredible heroic sacrifices and the fighting the Russians did in WW II. Between 1941 and 1944 the Russians decimated the best elements of the German army. When The US engaged the Germans in force in mid 1944, the best of the German military had already been killed at an enormous cost to the Russians. If America had to fight an intact German army to liberate Europe, how many of our fathers and grandfathers would have died in Europe. Many of us would have never have come to exist.
again not saying the Russians are any way correct in their foolish decision to invade Ukraine. However decent people ought to reflect that these tragic deaths are further weakening Western culture as the deaths and destruction in europe during WW II nearly destroyed it completely. Only the vile globalists should take joy in this war. It serves them.
The first photos of a UK-supplied Stormer HVM short-range air defense system in Ukraine - reportedly, 5 of these systems were donated in total.
Actually 6 were received with many more to come from the UK.
Ukrainian Equipment losses thus far:
‘...since the beginning of the special military operation, 260 aircraft, 144 helicopters, 1,613 unmanned aerial vehicles, 358 anti-aircraft missile systems, 4162 tanks and other armored combat vehicles, 763 multiple rocket launchers, 3201 field artillery guns and mortars, as well as 4481 units of special military vehicles have been destroyed.’
Not included: 3 HIMARS destroyed. 1 HIMAR either captured or sold to the Russians.
You need to tell every uke you can find to avoid taking sides in American politics.

40 years ago everyone would have seen this war for what it is - a war of independence and self-determination being fought by the Ukrainian people, not what Russian propaganda has made it - a war being fought by righteous Russians against a government run by globalists, filled with homos, corruption, and Nazis.
How many here actually know that the Ukraine government and the Ukraine military supply their troops with uniforms, and few get an old Soviet helmet and a Enfield rifle? Nothing else. All other supplies and equipment comes from the people in cities, town, villages, and hamlets.
3 HIMARS destroyed. 1 HIMAR either captured or sold to the Russians.
—
No HIMARS have been captured, destroyed or sold. Even Russian troops know that is not true and is just their own propaganda.
Western heavy artillery weapons known to have been destroyed so far are: 2-3 M777s (one of those destroyed was captured) and one Polish Krab which got too close to the front destroyed.
All the rest is propaganda.
Don’t like, don’t read.
Which Ukrainian Ministry of Truth official you get this from?
Go eat your borschit, Dirty RuZZian.
Now now Speedy, resorting to such rudeness is well unbecoming of you.
Oh wait, you always been like that. My bad.
