I plan to spread this story by posting it on every troll thread. You are invited to join the fun. Just copy paste what I wrote starting at “Source” and ending with “California”.

They’re just trying to snip off a few Russian inhabited border regions.

Like the Baltics, Moldova, Bulgaria Romania, Poland, and Germany.

Source of all this Russian propaganda repeated by Putin trolls on FR and elsewhere, comes from the efforts of one prolific American turncoat now living in Russia. You will see familiar phases and accusations, often spouted by trolls on FR, came from his work in Russia creating fake news, X, and YT sites.

Excerpt:
“Dozens of new sites have appeared in recent months. They included ones made to look like local news outlets: The Chicago Chronicle, The Miami Chronicle, The Boston Times, The Flagstaff Post and The Houston Post. Some of the new sites have names, like Right Review and Red State Report.

“Some hijacked names of actual news organizations, like The San Francisco Chronicle, or approximated them, in the case of one called The New York News Daily.”

“At the time, Recorded Future (he threat intelligence company) identified 57 domains that Mr. Dougan had created. In a two-day span after the report was published, 103 new sites appeared, all on a server in California.”

These radars don’t even monitor Ukraine.

And exactly how would you know what the radars monitor? Most sites, like this one by countries that have similar sites, monitor everything, concentrating not only on radar, but on ELINT and SIGINT as well.

New tactics of the Ukrainian Armed Forces have been revealed!

The day before it became known that Ukraine will receive from Sweden a unique radar reconnaissance and control aircraft ASC 890. This aircraft is unique in that the Armed Forces of Ukraine did not previously have such aircraft.

All this is happening against the backdrop of rumors about the imminent transfer of F-16 fighters to Ukrainian troops. NATO countries will certainly hand them over. Now the main question for Kyiv is when?

But few people noticed that all this news was happening immediately after several of our radars were disabled at once , as well as after a series of attacks on air defense targets.

Sources in the Ministry of Defense do not hide: “The enemy is systematically knocking out our air defense and making us blind on a number of sections of the border.”

The Ministry of Defense also considers attacks on the rear, which slow down our advance towards Kharkov, to be dangerous.

“The Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying to reduce the speed of our advance as much as possible in order to wait for new supplies from the allies,” the General Staff explained.

[ Ukrainians Launch a Powerful Push Against Exhausted Russian Forces ]

—
Day 826: May 29

Today, there are a lot of updates from the Kharkiv direction.

In Vovchansk, the situation remains highly fluid as Ukrainian forces continue their counteroffensive operations.

Ukrainian troops have successfully stabilized the area, with analysts estimating that around 38,000 Ukrainian soldiers are deployed in this direction, compared to approximately 14,000 Russian troops.

Recent developments highlight substantial efforts by Ukrainian forces to regain control and secure key strategic areas.

Firstly, Ukrainian forces have successfully restored a critical bridge near Staryi Saltiv, significantly enhancing their logistical capabilities and enabling the smooth movement of troops and supplies.

Recent footage from the European Sentinel satellite reveals that Ukrainian engineers have deployed a pontoon bridge, which is crucial for sustaining the counteroffensive operations in the area by ensuring continuous support for the advancing Ukrainian units.

Secondly, various military observers report that Ukrainian forces have concentrated significant numbers in Biliy Kolodiaz, preparing for a counterattack.

This small settlement, located about 15 km southeast of Vovchansk, occupies a strategic height, providing quick and direct access for deploying counterattacking forces.

In response, Russian forces have attempted to destroy bridges on the Vovcha River to hinder Ukrainian advances. Despite these efforts, the Ukrainian counteroffensive is progressing, creating instability and vulnerability within the Russian positions in Vovchansk.

Reports suggest that Russian forces are preparing to retreat due to the persistent Ukrainian counterattacks.

Lieutenant Colonel Nazar Voloshyn, spokesperson for the Ukrainian Khortytsia Group of Forces, stated that Russian forces are attempting to make tactical gains in Vovchansk to establish footholds for future advances.

However, Ukrainian counterattacks, along with effective artillery and drone strikes, are thwarting these efforts. Both Ukrainian and Russian sources describe Russian operations in the area as defensive, with Ukrainian forces increasingly seizing the tactical initiative.

Recent geolocated images depict a segment of a counter-offensive operation conducted by the Siberian Battalion, a military unit composed of Russian citizens.

This battalion was among the first to confront the Russian advance in the ongoing Kharkiv offensive and continues to engage in some of the most intense combat in the region.

The images reveal the assault group entering a fortified position, which appears to be consistent with fortifications constructed by Ukrainian authorities in recent months.

This suggests that these positions were initially captured by Russian forces and later recaptured by Ukrainian troops during a counterattack. Inside the fortification, the soldiers encountered the remains of eliminated Russian soldiers.

Additional footage from the 82nd Ukrainian Airborne Assault Brigade showcases urban combat within the city of Vovchansk. Ukrainian forces advanced in an American “Stryker” armored personnel carrier, navigating through various streets and frequently firing its main machine gun.

The video culminates with soldiers dismounting from the vehicle and deploying an ATGM missile to strike a Russian position, resulting in a massive explosion.

Despite Ukrainian successes, Russian forces have made considerable efforts to saturate the area with manpower and equipment to prevent Ukrainian forces from seizing the tactical initiative.

Ukrainian officials stated that their forces are effectively pushing Russian troops out of captured positions, but the dense deployment of Russian personnel and resources continues to pose significant challenges.

According to Russian military bloggers, Ukrainian forces maintain a presence at the Vovchansk Aggregate Plant in central Vovchansk on the northern bank of the Vovcha River, highlighting the ongoing intense engagements in urban areas.

To counter Ukrainian movements, Russian forces have destroyed another bridge across the Vovcha River near Tykhe.

Images provided by the Russian Air Force show the sequence of the attack: an air-to-surface missile first hits a vehicle parked near the bridge, followed by a 2nd missile that directly strikes the bridge, destroying one lane and severely damaging another.

Shortly afterward, Russian sources reported that Ukrainian forces had begun reconstruction work on the bridge using pontoon equipment, demonstrating their adaptability and commitment to maintaining supply lines and operational momentum.

The operational implications of the ongoing actions in Vovchansk are significant. The restoration of the bridge near Stary Saltiv and the concentration of forces in Biliy Kolodiaz underscore Ukraine’s commitment to regaining control of critical areas.

The instability of the Russian bridgehead in Vovchansk, coupled with effective Ukrainian counterattacks, suggests a potential shift in control dynamics in the region.

Overall, the Vovchansk front remains a focal point of intense military activity. Ukrainian forces have made significant progress in restoring critical infrastructure and concentrating troops for effective counterattacks.

With a substantial personnel advantage of approximately 3:1 Ukrainian forces have stabilized the situation along this front.

The success of their counteroffensive operations is crucial for maintaining momentum and preventing Russian forces from consolidating their positions. The outcomes of these engagements are likely to influence future Russian plans and operations in the northern Kharkiv region.

More mysticism:

Excerpt:
From the beginning, Putin’s loyal mouthpieces like state TV host Vladimir Solovyov asserted that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a “holy war,” predicting it would lead to a “global jihad” against the West.

Deputy of the State Duma Vyacheslav Nikonov claimed that Russia is “the embodiment of the forces of good” and stated, “This is truly a holy war we’re waging and we must win.”

Major General Apti Alaudinov, the commander of Chechen forces, who is himself a Muslim, claimed that Russia’s war against Ukraine will lead to the second coming of Christ, describing Moscow’s troops as “the forerunners of Jesus forces.”

Apparently, these assurances are not sufficient to ensure a steady stream of volunteers, much less to calm down the families of fallen soldiers.

This month, Archpriest of the Russian Orthodox Church Artemiy Vladimirov decided to up the ante and claimed that soldiers fighting on Russia’s side in Ukraine get resurrected after they get killed.

Nice find. Longish, but interesting article on Mr Dougan. Interesting to see familiar phases and accusations, often spouted by trolls on FR, came from his work in Russia creating fake news, X, and YT sites.

1% chance of a hung jury
0% chance of not guilty

—
99% chance of conviction.

Now taking orders for the number of months/years the Colombian cocaine judge will give him.

The state court does not have the authority to adjudicate a federal crime.

—
It does now. Laws are being made on the flyby the Colombian cocaine judge, so anything goes.

With the near certain conviction, waiting out the Appeals Courts first means an interminable time at Rikers prison - perhaps months or years.

Red6 may have to step up his/their game.

And when a guilty verdict is returned, Trump will appeal. And win.

—
However, between rendering the sentence and a successful appeal, DJT will remain locked up. He’ll win the appeal, but lose the election.

Appeals can take months or years, meanwhile DJT will remain locked up.

There are 3 choices for jury to convict or not. conviction on any one of them is a conviction on all, according to the Colombian born judge.

A conviction means a major stock market dip/crash.

Another video rates the Chinese 003 Fujian (their latest - using electromagnetic catapults) as a good candidate for a display only museum piece. It does not compare favorably with the US Kittyhawk class from 60 years ago. 🤣 🤣

Because green energy is so wonderful

—
The Chinese love it. That’s why they continue to build coal power plants hoping that the warming will cause more of Northwest China to become fertile, and so they can push ahead with their plan to dominate the Arctic.

Russia mines 43% of the world’s uranium (it would be higher if they held all of Ukraine) and most of that they just sold to China.
