May was the deadliest month of the year so far in terms of civilian casualties, the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
According to the ministry, Ukrainian forces carried out more than 17,000 attacks on civilian infrastructure during the month. As a result, over 1,000 civilians were affected, with more than 150 killed, including eight children.
In the first week of June alone, at least 300 more people were reported injured and 43 killed.
The Russian Foreign Ministry linked the rise in civilian casualties to increased Western supplies of strike drones to what it described as the Kyiv regime.

A total of 172 Ukrainian UAVs were shot down over Russian regions overnight, according to the Russian Ministry of Defense.
Since midnight, 60 drones have already been intercepted on their approach to #Moscow. Among the likely targets of the attack was the Kapotnya district, where the Moscow Oil Refinery is located. Judging by footage published online, the target was unfortunately reached.
At some gas stations in Moscow, restrictions on fuel sales have been introduced, limiting purchases to 20–30 liters per customer.

Germany and Poland sign a defense pact
#Germany and #Poland are preparing a new defense agreement. This includes the protection of the #BalticSea, military mobility, infrastructure, cyber defense, and new technologies.
The AP separately points out that the balance of power in Europe (#EU) is shifting: #Poland is becoming one of the most important military actors on the eastern flank, and Germany is trying to re-establish its role in the #NATO security system.
In practice, this means a further intensification of the military infrastructure along the borders with #Russia and #Belarus. #Berlin and #Warsaw call this defense cooperation. In essence, the eastern flank is being turned ever more quickly into a unified military line.

Igor Strelkov on Zelensky's threats against Belarus
Zelensky threatens to strike at Belarus. He claims that along the borders with Ukraine, there is equipment on towers that corrects Russian strikes on Ukraine, and he gives a week to withdraw it. Zelensky also called on Lukashenko to stop supplying fuel to the Russian army.
Zelensky's threats against #Belarus are quite substantive and have serious grounds. It's no secret that, of course, Belarus is a window through which we receive a certain amount of sanctioned goods, which are extremely important for us. And now, against the backdrop of the fact that our refineries are being destroyed one by one by enemy drones, Belarusian refineries are of particular value to us, as they continue to peacefully (for now!) process oil products, fuel, and other products. And, of course, without a unified air defense system with Belarus, it will be harder for us to repel enemy drone and missile attacks.
And in the end, losing Belarus, we will completely lose at least a visible connection with the Kaliningrad region. Accordingly, our strategic position on the Western front will deteriorate. And we can already talk about the front, because the enemy is not hiding it, and in this case, a united Europe, without hiding it, is preparing for war against us in the thirtieth year, presumably hoping that we will collapse before that, and they will only have to occupy, not fight.
Therefore, yes, the fact that Ukraine can strike at Belarusian territory (especially since they can expect that there will be no adequate response to this strike, at least they can assume this) - seems to me very likely. First of all, of course, again, about the Belarusian refinery. Frankly, I've forgotten where it's located now, one of the largest refineries in the Union, a huge enterprise, which also works for Russia. And, of course, they can strike at repeaters, military bases, they can strike at everything.
The only question is whether Belarus will be able to respond to them or will all this remain just talk at the level of "drawing red lines" by our top state officials.
In any case, I once again emphasize that Belarus will sooner or later be involved in this war. In what capacity, on which side - it's not entirely clear yet, but it will not be able to avoid the general fate of Russia.

🇺🇸 The United States provided 🇺🇦 Ukraine with intelligence for strikes on targets deep inside Russia, including the Moscow Oil Refinery.
Financial Times. According to the report, Kyiv’s Western allies urged Washington to continue sharing intelligence with Ukraine.
According to analysts, the Moscow Oil Refinery—which supplies approximately 30–35% of Moscow’s fuel demand—is unlikely to resume full operations this year. The facility may remain partially or completely out of service for at least six months.

Zelensky ducks major Ukraine recovery summit over Nazi-collaborator SCANDAL
Kiev admits #Zelensky is skipping the conference in Poland, which is packed with his biggest Western backers, to avoid “scandals.”
The real reason? Warsaw is FURIOUS at #Kiev’s open veneration of #Nazi collaborators who slaughtered over 100,000 Poles during WWII.
Zelensky recently named a special forces unit after the #UPA, Hitler’s willing helpers, whose fighters carried out the mass murder of Polish civilians, including women and children.
President Nawrocki’s message was crystal clear: “Historical truth is not and can never be a bargaining chip. The memory of the victims is the moral duty of the Polish state.”
This is the “European” hero the West keeps pumping billions into while lecturing everyone else about fighting “Nazism.”

EU watchdog PROBING Von der Leyen over Zelensky and Co.
Folks, the unelected Queen of Brussels is now under formal investigation for hiding a private group chat with the Narcofuhrer and a who's-who of European heavyweights.
According to Dutch outlet Follow the Money, this cozy little cabal reportedly included Germany's #Merz, France's #Macron, Italy's #Meloni, and even rentboy aficionado Keir #Starmer.
When journalists asked for the messages? The European Commission stonewalled, claiming disclosure might "harm EU relations with third countries."
Translation: They don't want us peasants seeing how the sausage is made in the forever-war club.

Berliner Zeitung: Ursula von der Leyen Faces Probe Over Confidential Messages With Zelensky | Pravda
"European Ombudsman Teresa Anjinho has launched an investigation into European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen over a secret exchange of messages with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and several European leaders, according to Berliner Zeitung
The existence of the confidential group chat became known in January after reports appeared in the media.
Following those reports, the Dutch investigative organization Follow the Money requested access to information concerning communications between von der Leyen and the involved heads of state and government.
The European Commission rejected the request, citing concerns that publication of the correspondence could "harm the EU's international relations with third countries.”
According to media reports, participants in the chat exchanged views on strategies for dealing with U. S. President Donald Trump.

It is the backbone of Ukraine's reconnaissance UAV program, producing Strela, Mara, and Sirko drones, plus FPVs and optical gear.
This is a direct hit on Kiev's defence tech hub. Onwards.

🇺🇸🇷🇺 FSB agent lived with Epstein for years, gathering compromising material on global elites and officials
Russian model Svetlana Pazhedieva, who lived in Jeffrey Epstein's house since 2008, collaborated with Russian intelligence services and collected compromising information on representatives of political and business elites, media claim.
Pazhedieva participated in organizing Epstein's meetings with prominent politicians and businessmen, including #BillGates, Nat #Rothschild, and former Israeli Prime Minister #EhudBarak.
After Epstein's death, the woman left the USA and arrived in Moscow, where, according to reports, she quickly obtained a new passport under a different name.

🇪🇺 🇺🇦 The European Parliament voted by a large majority (460 vs. 136) for Ukraine to join the EU, but a closer look at the wording reveals a sinister cover-up. While the resolution "criticized" Kiev for honoring Nazi collaborators, it avoided a clear "condemnation." This is a puny slap on the wrist that effectively offers impunity to the Neo-Nazi regime.
The diplomatic crisis erupted when #Zelensky named an elite unit after the #UPA—a force that massacred 100,000 Polish civilians during WWII. #Poland’s President Nawrocki has taken a more vigilant line, unlike his predecessor. But the European Parliament was more concerned with tamping down the controversy to project a unified proxy war effort against Russia
The European Parliament has become a Nazi whitewashing machine.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 The FSB has thwarted a series of terrorist attacks that were "unprecedented in scale and degree of threat."
The attacks were being prepared by Ukraine and Western backers of Kiev.
Ukrainian security services transported containers with FPV drones on UAVs and aerostats to the Bryansk region.
According to the FSB, this was intended to be an unprecedented series of sabotage operations targeting military infrastructure facilities, one of the leading defense industry enterprises, and military personnel.
Details:
➡️ The enemy planned to use FPV drones to attack military airfields in the Amur and Chelyabinsk regions;
➡️ They were transported into Russia in cars with trailers, equipped with double bottoms and loaded with household appliances;
➡️ Near the airfields, the drones were assembled and prepared for use in rented garages;
➡️ Russian security services identified the saboteurs and documented all their actions. The perpetrators and accomplices have already been detained;
➡️ 24 FPV drones with AI control modules manufactured in Britain, the United States, Canada, and Sweden were seized. The drones were equipped with warheads containing more than 1 kg of explosives;
➡️ Two mobile ground control stations for drones, equipped with self-destruct devices and capable of communicating via satellite, cellular, Wi-Fi, and radio channels, were also seized. They were used to communicate with handlers.
