Very difficult battles'
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says his country's forces are involved in "very difficult battles", including in the eastern Donbas region where Russia has focused its firepower.
"Ukrainian troops are doing everything to stop the offensive of the occupiers," Zelensky says.
He adds in his address that Ukraine must "not allow the world to divert its attention away from what is happening on the battlefield".
'Out of ammo'
In the Mykolaiv region near the front line in the south, the regional governor calls for urgent international military assistance.
"Russia's army is more powerful, they have a lot of artillery and ammo. For now, this is a war of artillery... and we are out of ammo," Vitaliy Kim says.
"The help of Europe and America is very, very important."

Russia recovers...
Russia's central bank cut interest rates for the second time in a fortnight, saying its economy is recovering faster than expected from sanctions.
But it warned that the "external environment for the Russian economy remains challenging."
...as Ukraine economy shrinks
The war has caused Ukraine's economy to contract by 15.1 percent in the first three months of the year, the state statistics agency said.
The invasion laid waste to large swathes of the economy, with the International Monetary Fund predicting Ukraine's gross domestic product will shrink by 35 percent in 2022.

Ukraine’s high casualty rate could bring war to tipping point
🇺🇦❗Large APU losses could lead to tipping point - The Guardian
With this name and its own count of the destroyed militants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, an article was published in the leading British publication.
“Ukrainian losses range from 600 to 1,000 people a day. This is a colossal reduction in the combat capability of Ukraine due to the unsuccessful attempt by the Armed Forces of Ukraine to hold the defense of Severodonetsk.
“The total number of casualties - more than 20,000 a month - raises questions about what state the Ukrainian army will be in if the war drags on until the autumn. The Russian army already controls large parts of Ukraine, and they can suspend hostilities with a territorial advantage.”
Ukraine’s military intelligence believes that Russia can continue at its current rate without manufacturing more weapons or mobilising the population for another year.

Well this is something new....
In Ukraine, the mobilization of women is being prepared for the purpose of “uninterrupted replenishment of the losses of personnel” of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. First of all, until June 15, the mobilization of women who are already liable for military service will start, and until June 31 Ukrainian women from 18 to 60 will be registered for military service.
The order concerns the Dnepropetrovsk, Kyiv, Kirovograd, Nikolaev, Odessa, Kharkov, parts of the Donetsk and Zaporozhye regions.

Russia’s foreign ministry said on Saturday that Moscow’s response to a build up of NATO forces in Poland will be proportionate, Interfax news agency reported citing a Russian diplomat.
“A response, as always, will be proportionate and appropriate, intended to neutralise potential threats to the security of the Russian Federation,” Interfax quoted Oleg Tyapkin, the head of a foreign ministry department in charge of Russian relations with Europe.
We are seeing the systemic destruction of Western values such as men defending women and children. Soon it will be acceptable to destroy population centers to decrease manpower, since women are now becoming combatants. This isn’t equal opportunity, nor is it really about survival. Once a nation mobilzes her women, she puts the entire population at risk of bombardment.
Google Bomber Harris.
More lebensraum for the newest Nazi.
The United States, imposing sanctions in connection with the Russian military operation in Ukraine, created the conditions for the formation of a “new G8” together with Russia, said State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin .
In addition to Russia, Volodin added China, India, Indonesia, Brazil, Mexico, Iran and Turkey to the “new big eight”. Referring to data from the International Monetary Fund, he said that these countries in terms of GDP at PPP (purchasing power parity) are ahead of the “old group” by 24.4%.
In first place was China with $27 billion, India was in second with $10 billion, and Russia was in third with $4.5 billion. @mincerchannel

I ordinarily would not take this news item seriously except that Ukraine already privately admitted that last week they shot down their own airplane after having initially celebrated shooting down what they first thought was a Russian aircraft.

‼️Today, the Su-25 attack aircraft of the Armed Forces of Ukraine attacked its artillery near the village of Bereznigovatoe, Mykolaiv region.‼️
As a result of friendly fire, the Armed Forces of Ukraine lost three D-30 guns and about 30 personnel killed and wounded. This is due to the low experience of the flight crew, since cadets of 4-5 courses of the Kharkiv National University of the Air Force of Ukraine are already sitting at the controls of the aircraft.
This is the seventh such incident in the last three days. Ukrainian pilots are afraid of Russian air defense systems and fly only to their positions.

Now there are almost 40,000 military servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the Severodonetsk direction, another 50,000 are located on the Slavyansk/Kramatorsk/Druzhkovka/Konstantinovka line.
(General) Zaluzhny offered to withdraw troops from the pocket and take advantageous positions in order to hold the Russian army, but the politicians were fundamentally against it.
Now the Armed Forces of Ukraine are forced to hold 115 km of the front, which is under fire from all sides, and enemy aircraft and artillery are grinding our troops 24/7. On the map you can see Zaluzhny’s plan, which proposed creating a fortified area from the cities of Slavyansk / Kramatorsk / Druzhkovka / Konstantinovka - a line in blue and the real situation at the front in red. You do not need to be a military man to understand the situation and not keep almost 30,000 soldiers and 700 pieces of equipment in the cauldron.
One wrong political decision can cost us #Battles_for_Donbass.

Our source in the OP said that now there is a stalemate between the centers of influence on Bankovaya. The Pentagon supported Zaluzhny’s proposal to withdraw troops from the Severodonetsk direction, and the political center of influence supports the British government, which recommends Zelensky fight for each city in order to get new weapons.

Without the war, there is no shortage (grain, oil, fertilizer, etc.) Without the shortage, there is no Reset.
Everything the globalist left has done since Trump came down the elevator has been to ratchet up crisis without crisis without end; after impeachment; 2018 fraud; after which impeachment; then COVID; then riots and fraud; then disabling our production, mandates, and then war (have we forgotten Putin and the WEF? Mr. KGB Polonium murder’s not the ‘good guy’ and never was) and pox and now show trials and soon more riots and fraud.
If the stream of crisis lets up from the stranglehold people might breathe, and think, and act; and the time is short.
Well…
The people who know war were telling us from day one that Ukraine can’t win. Then something astonishing happened: Ukraine embarrassed Russia and chased the Russians out of the Ukraine capital. It was never expected that Russia would be defeated. Due to Ukraine’s determination we all started hoping for a Russian defeat but its just a dream. The goal has been to do as much damage to russia as possible and not really to conquer and obliterate russia.
The goal was to turn it in to a Pyrrhic victory for russia. And that is a worthy goal worth the sacrifice. Maybe with a better smarter guy in the White House we could achieve this goal with less damage to our own economy.
Biden is a train wreck. he’s worse than Carter. You can’t destroy our own petroleum industry while at the same time try to prevent the world from buying Russian petroleum. You can’t give away all kinds of free money on domestic stupidity while at the same time try to fund Ukraine’s national defense for them. and you definitely can’t do all this stupidity and then also believe you can defend Taiwan at the same time.
Biden just does not know how to pick his battles. He needs to go away. There’s more than enough evidence to remove him for mental decline. Let the whore assume command and then fail just as spectacularly as he has so we can get on to the third ranking idiot and then the fourth.
What have they done with it all?

I have a hunch even the leftists are fed up w/Zelensky.
Grifters gonna grift.
I’m certainly tired of his gimme gimme.
More arms won’t change the outcome, it will just get more of his countrymen killed.
If the stream of crisis lets up from the stranglehold people might breathe, and think, and act; and the time is short.

Crisis is already normalized and no one not in Ukraine seems to care much about the war, anymore.
The rest will eventually sort itself out. The question is how much destruction will it take globally for people to set up parallel economic structures. We already see Russian oil going to India, refined and sold globally to skirt sanctions.
People are adaptable. everyone is preparing for ways to heat during the winter, stocking up on food/medicines, perhaps rediscovering how our ancestors made potash (hint: it’s in the name), tightening belts, taking advantage of current surpluses in inventories. I am sure that artisans are repurposing old clothing and finding fabric sources to make functional, as opposed to fashionable, clothing, retro-fitting vehicles as they can, etc, etc, etc.
There is opportunity in any situation.

The numbers killed are up on someone’s wall, somewhere, as they have accomplished that portion of their plan. But the plan to wreck the world and make everyone so miserable that they beg for The Great Reset into totalitarianism, that part isn’t going so well.
Those wicked smart apparatchiks and their string pullers have stepped on their own members and brought the end of their glorious technocracy closer.
Not saying it isn’t going to get somewhat worse before it gets better, but the NWO has supplied evolutionary pressure and the human race will improvise, adapt and overcome, eventually.
Whether they will learn from the experience, is another question. I believe we will all have to go through a wretched winter, everywhere, in order for the lesson to become incorporated into the global psyche.
