You are a prolific little propagandist. However the entire front continues to march west.

Personnel decides everything. Briefly about mobilization, conscientious objectors and conscripts

May became very revealing in terms of the situation on the battlefield.

First of all, in the Kharkiv region, where the Russian Armed Forces tried to break through and force the enemy to use reserves.

What’s the result? Despite all attempts, our troops have not yet managed to gain a foothold in Volchansk. Although the Ukrainian Armed Forces really sent a lot of reserves to the region.

The General Staff has different assessments of our breakthrough. There are those who believe that we should have thrown more forces into the area in the Kharkov region, and there are those who believe that the offensive itself was premature (they nod at Shoigu).

[ finding troops getting more and more difficult ]

We have data on losses, and, unfortunately, they are growing. At the request of respected people from the Ministry of Defense, we will publish them later. But, more importantly, the situation with reserves is also not encouraging.

“The search for people to join the ranks of our army continues in several directions. There is an international vector, within which fighters are actively being sought in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Lately, it has become more difficult to lure even with a long ruble.

The efficiency of the internal search for reserves has also decreased - prisoners in a large there are no numbers. They send refuseniks, fresh contract soldiers (sometimes without training). In general, the work is being done, but the results, frankly speaking, leave much to be desired,” a source at the Ministry of Defense familiar with the situation told us.

According to him, in such conditions it is hardly possible to talk about demobilization. “I would rather think about a new wave of mobilization. It’s time to defend our homeland, and not bury our heads in the sand,” the general said.

In addition, he noted that the number of officers in reserve units is significantly lower than in combat ones.

“Sometimes an officer without combat experience is put in the place of a deceased combat commander. Conflicts arise on the ground. After all, the book and the real war are very different,” the source said.

What’s the point. As long as the Pedo Joe administration keeps funding this _____show and the Russians seem to be in no hurry to wrap things up and either win or lose then every day will bring the same silly headlines the same brazen demands for more of our money, more death and destruction. So, what’s the point.

Ukraine ping

The principle reason for the big Russian advances here and not elsewhere is a truth often obscured by the hype about drones.


[”Drones are just toys; they can’t damage lots of tanks or heavy equipment,” he said of the previous scale of cross-border Ukrainian operations. “But HIMARS can.”]

Ukraine hypes drones because when you get lemons (i.e. the Western embargo on aircraft, armor and artillery in significant quantity to Ukraine), all you can do is make lemonade. Western governments hype Ukrainian drones to obscure their parsimonious contributions of useful military equipment.

Kharkov is located 30 miles from the Russian border. So long as effective long range Western weapons were prevented from striking at Russian supply efforts for the attack on Kharkov inside Russia, the Russians had the potential to keep enough equipment and munitions flowing to successfully capture Kharkov. Once Western munitions were allowed to strike that logistical effort inside Russia, their units may have started running short of supplies. If they run short enough, bigger surrenders may be on the horizon.

So the Ukrainians have take back an area in an afternoon that took Russian forces nearly a month and thousands of casualties to capture?

Putin is a flipping retard.

I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video, I will tell you what happened on the 832 day of the war.

Day 832: Jun 04

Today, there is a lot of news from the Kurakhove direction.

Here, the Ukrainians successfully stopped the second wave of Russian attacks against the next village after Novomykhailivka, after not giving the enemy enough time to rest and regroup. The Russians quickly got stuck in front of the tiniest village of the long settlement chain along the river – Paraskoviivka. It presented a formidable obstacle for them, not because of the strength and size of fortifications in it but due to all the new tactics the Ukrainians deployed.

This settlement is crucial for the Russians if they want to reach their operational goal of taking Kostiantynivka and open access to Vuhledar from the north. Knowing how significant this was for the Russians, the Ukrainians decided once again to strike first and not to let them gather large forces for the next wave of attacks. For this, the Ukrainian commanders developed a battle plan with several key steps.

The first step was to effectively cut off Russian forces from their artillery support by taking counterbattery measures. For this purpose, Ukrainians monitored the Russian rear east of Novomykhailivka, looking for enemy artillery assets. Ukrainian drone operators from the Shadow detachment located several D-30 howitzers southeast of this village and targeted them with FPV drones. The artillery systems were successfully destroyed even though they were concealed in the three lines with the help of additional camouflage nets to mask their presence.

Drone operators from the Adam detachment were responsible for the hunt northeast of the village. Over a short interval of time, they were able to destroy not only multiple D-30 howitzers but also several self-propelled artillery systems, a couple in their hide-outs, and several more on the move. If you want to get access to the original uncensored combat footage of these operations, you can find it on our Telegram channel by using the link in the description.

The skillful drone pilots put additional pressure on that area by also targeting munition hideouts and delivery vehicles to undermine Russian artillery missions. These attacks marked the beginning of the second step of the Ukrainian plan to undermine the Russian effort by not allowing them to deliver fresh forces or munitions to frontline positions. Ukrainians used the relatively flat and clear terrain around Novomykhailivka to their advantage by hunting enemy delivery vehicles with FPV drones. If we look at the geolocated footage, we can see more than 10 such vehicles destroyed over a short period of time, ranging from big Kamaz cargo trucks to smaller UAZ vans.

After these successful initial steps to limit Russian artillery and delivery operations in the region, the Ukrainians moved to the third phase in their deadly plan – to conduct a series of vicious raids on Russian forces accumulation points – both on the frontline and in the rear. Drone operators from the 79th Separate Airborne Assault Brigade published more than a dozen geolocated video clips showing how they engage Russian soldiers in trenches, hideouts, and safe houses. One of the videos highlights one Russian tactic that can be seen more and more often in the last weeks, namely the use of motorcycles to quickly deploy forces to the contact line and to conduct assaults. Previously, they used from 1 to 2 such vehicles, but in these most recent images, we can see an update of this dubious tactic with 5 or more working in a group, trying to use the speed of the motorbikes to their advantage. Due to the graphic nature of the results, we cannot show the original uncensored video of this operation here, but it can be found on our Telegram channel: https://t.me/RFUEnglish or @RFUEnglish.

The devastating outcome of the Ukrainian actions forced the Russian commanders to make a desperate attempt to launch another wave of attacks against Ukrainian positions around Paraskoviivka with everything they still had available. The size of these Russian assault groups in these geolocated images from Paraskoviivka’s vicinity showcases exactly how effective the Ukrainian approach was. Previously, they usually consisted of several tanks, armored personnel carriers, and infantry groups of up to 20...
