๐Ÿ”นRussian Troops continue to strike positions of the AFU both along the front line and in rear areas. Enemy targets were hit in #Velikodolinskoye, #Odessa region, #Kharkov, Krivoy Rog and #Sumy region.

๐Ÿ”นOn the #Kharkov front, Russian assault groups break through enemy defences in the centre of #Volchansk and on the northern outskirts of #Liptsy. Along the entire line from #Liptsy to Bely Kolodez, systematic fire strikes are carried out against artillery positions and AFU militants, reducing the enemyโ€™s combat potential in the area.

๐Ÿ”นOn the #Avdeyevka direction's southern front, the RFAF are establishing a foothold on the western outskirts of #Netaylovo. In the south of the village, fighting continues in the area of farms and poultry.

๐Ÿ”นIn the #Ugledar direction, Russian troops slightly expanded the zone of control south of #Paraskoviyevka, advancing along forest belts in the direction of #Konstantinovka.

๐Ÿ”นIn the #Orekhov section, assault groups of the RFAF took up their next positions on the northern outskirts in the ruins of #Rabotino.

โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆโš”๏ธ According to Tradition, the Situation in Key Settlements in the #Ugledar & #Avdeyevka Directions at the Beginning of the Day on 22 May 2024 was as followsโšก๏ธ

๐Ÿ”ต#Paraskoviyevka is being cleaned. The last firing point remained.

๐Ÿ”ตOurs approach #Konstantinovka from the south side. Tankers and Marines work well.

๐Ÿ”ต#Pobeda - fights in places.

๐Ÿ”ต#Georgiyevka is a village close to #Maksimilianovka, there will be no respite after the capture of the first one, but for now the western outskirts are being cleared.

๐Ÿ”ตIn #Krasnogorovka, the main thing is not to waste the full potential of stormtroopers. There was progress, there were local breakthroughs, but the resources are not endless.
๐ŸŸกThe 5th Brigade is recuperating, the assaults are carried out in small groups.
๐ŸŸกFor such an attitude towards the personnel, I personally would not pat on the head.

๐Ÿ”ตAt #Netaylovo, the enemy is resisting from the southern side of the village, where a small fortification remains at Ukrop. After its annihilation, we are making plans for #Karlovka.

๐Ÿ”ตIn #Yasnobrodovka, artillery is working on enemy positions, leveling them to the ground. Ours are on the way.

๐Ÿ”ตIn #Umanskoye, they have not gained a foothold until the end and moved away a little. In general, the fighting continues.

๐Ÿ”ตIn #Novopokrovskoye, there are positional battles.

๐Ÿ”ตIn #Novoaleksandrovka, the enemy strengthened and managed to stop the breakthrough so far.

๐Ÿ“Œ Changes within two weeks: the pace of advance has decreased, aviation is moving away from the front and there is a slight shortage of projectiles.

๐ŸŽฏ During the night, for three hours, the RFAF carried out Geranium UAV strikes against enemy targets in the #Odessa and #Nikolayev regions. Explosions were reported near #Zatoka in the Belgorod-Dnestrovsky district and in #Ochakov.

๐Ÿ”นIn the #Kharkov region, the creation of a buffer zone continues. Our troops are advancing with heavy fighting towards #Liptsy and in #Volchansk. There is a constant fire attack with heavy weapons, more and more footage of Ukrainian prisoners is appearing.

๐Ÿ”นFrom the #Seversk sector, footage of our heavy flamethrower systems striking #Belogorovka has been widely circulated,๐Ÿ‘‡with a number of sources reporting successes there.

๐Ÿ”นNear #ChasovYar's eastern outskirts, the RFAF are expanding their zone of control by digging into the built-up area. To the south, in #Kleshcheyevka, the RFAF are using tanks with "supermangals" to deliver assault groups. A fresh video has emerged of our flag being planted in the village.

๐Ÿ”นOn the southern flank of the #Pokrovskoye direction (west of #Avdeyevka), the assault on the western part of #Netaylovo is being completed. It was reported about the retreat of enemy units towards #Karlovka. The RFAF are attacking the positions of the AFU south of the locality.

๐Ÿ”นIn the #SouthDonetsk (#Ugledar) direction, the RFAF advanced to #Paraskoviyevka from #Novomikhaylovka. In the western part of #Paraskoviyevka our flag is set up.

๐Ÿ”นIn the #Kherson direction, the AFU used a drone boat with mounted rockets on the Kinburn Spit. Having made a strike from a distance of at least 5 km, the marine drone left the area. The situation indicates an increasing threat to our facilities along the entire Black Sea coast. In the floodplain of the #Dnieper River, the actions of our groups on the islands continue, the enemy shore is more often hit with precision munitions, destroying UAV operator sites. Information is confirmed about the transfer of some units of the AFU Marines to the #Kharkov direction, where enemy Marines, replenished with mobilised soldiers, almost from the march entered the battle.

๐Ÿ’ฅIn the #Belgorod region, the AFU struck #Dolgoye in the Valuysky urban district, the settlements of Novaya Tavolzhanka, #Krasnoye, #Voznesenovka, #Rzhevka and #Murom in the Shebekinsky urban district. #Shebekino was shelled. A car was attacked on the road between the settlements of #Ustinka and Yasnye Zori, Belgorod district, a woman was injured. A moving passenger car was attacked by a kamikaze drone near the checkpoint of the #Oktyabrsky settlement in the Belgorod district; a woman was killed and three men were wounded. In the Borisov district in the village of #Zozuli, windows in two private houses were blown out as a result of an explosive device drop. Another drone fell near a residential house and detonated. A kamikaze drone also fell and exploded at the exit from #Gruzskoye village. Over the course of the day, several UAVs of the AFU aircraft type were shot down.

๐Ÿ’ฅIn the #Bryansk region, two kamikaze drones attacked the vehicles of an agricultural enterprise in the Starodubsky municipal district; no casualties were reported.

๐Ÿ’ฅAs a result of Nazi strikes on #Donetsk, one civilian was killed and four were wounded.

๐ŸŽฌ#Seversk sector, #Belogorovka - massive strike by heavy flamethrower systems of the RFAF.

โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆโš”๏ธ Situation on the Fronts at the End of 21 May 2024โšก๏ธ

๐Ÿ”ดA possible RFAF bypass of #Seversk, the capture of a key height in #Kleshcheyevka, the importance of control over #Belogorovka and a diversionary maneuver of the Russian army on the banks of the Volchya River:

๐Ÿ”ตThe success of the RFAF in the form of the capture of #Belogorovka (โญ๏ธwhich has not been fully taken, obviously Readovka fell for fake news) opens (โญ๏ธwill open) up good prospects for the Russian Army. The future exit between the villages of #Grogorovka and #Verkhnekamenskoye should become a key stage on the way to #Seversk. Our fighters are taking control of the waste heap (โญ๏ธthe chalk quarry south of #Belogorovka which is still being hard defended), after clearing of which the RFAF will have the opportunity to squeeze the enemy group between #Grigorovka and the Seversky Donets River.

๐Ÿ”ตThe evening's good news was the capture of a key fortified area by the Russian Army in the south of #Kleshcheyevka. Ukrainian militants driven out of the village are retreating beyond the Seversky Donets-Donbass Canal.

๐Ÿ”ตAnother notable event at the front was the beginning of the movement of our fighters east of #Volchansk in a zone of three villages. In this area, the goal of the RFAF is rather unobvious. Here the task of our army is to provoke the Ukrainian command into an unplanned transfer of the already small AFU reserves, which are now so necessary for their twin towns in #Volchansk and #Liptsy.

โ—พ New Caledonia - colonised by France in the 1850s. The indigenous Kanak people are furious about French plans roll out greater electoral rights to newcomers to the island - meaning people who likely moved from the mainland and are in favour of keeping the island part of France. The independence movement narrowly lost two referendums a few years back, and boycotted a third, and now fears planned amendments to the constitution could see the political representation of Kanaks reduced. Of course, France is dressing it up as a would-be win for democracy, but look closer, and you'll find the real neo-colonial motive: nickel. It's a key element and New Caledonia has heaps of it - meaning heaps of profits for the masters back in Paris. So naturally, islanders are out protesting. They've been met with a huge security response, leading to violence and six deaths - as well as a good deal of rioting. France has declared a state of emergency, imposing a curfew and banning TikTok.

๐Ÿ—ฃ Zelensky "hysterically" demands support for his peace formula from the West, Russian FM says

๐Ÿ’ฌ"In late April, during discussions with foreign ambassadors in Kiev about this Swiss conference scheme, according to some participants' assessments, Zelensky spent most of the time improvising chaotically and, in an elevated, almost hysterical tone, demanded support for his peace formula as a means to force Russia to its knees," Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated at a press conference following the SCO Ministerial Council in Kazakhstan.


The minister added that a person who does not feel the need to control themselves begins to speak the truth.

Switzerland will hold a conference on Ukraine near the city of Lucerne on June 15-16. Representatives from about 160 countries have been invited to the meeting, but not Russia.

Zelensky's main statements in the NYT interview:

โ–ช๏ธ Russians are standing in the nearest villages to the border and hitting us from there, knowing that we won't hit them, covering ourselves with civilians."

โ–ช๏ธ NATO should shoot down Russian missiles in flight over Ukraine - without the planes crossing Ukrainian airspace - saying it would be a purely defensive tactic;

โ–ช๏ธ Would like to spend some time with family and dogs after a super hard-fought victory;

โ–ช๏ธ I don't see NATO instructors in Ukraine training Ukrainian soldiers, except in words;

โ–ช๏ธ Using long-range weapons Ukraine can effectively shield itself from the recent attack threatening Kharkov in the northeast;

โ–ช๏ธ Ukraine could see Russian troops piling up across the border before they attacked, but we were powerless to strike them;

โ–ช๏ธ Ukraine doesn't need to prove anything about democracy to anyone.

โ–ช๏ธ Zelensky also stated the West's desire to maintain ties with Russia. Many countries are seeking to maintain economic and diplomatic ties with Russia. "Everyone is keeping the door slightly ajar."
