⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ The RFAF entered #Razdolovka in #Seversk Sector of #Svatovo Direction⚡️

🇷🇺 Map Adjustment based on the progress of the 51st Guards Parachute Regiment. During the 4 months of the offensive, more than 25 sq km have been taken.

🔵 The main obstacle at the moment remains the fortifications to the northwest and west of #Razdolovka, on which the defence of the settlement rests, see Map 2. The offensive continues.

🔴 The village boundaries extend to the northeast, I marked it on the map with a blue arrow. So the village is now contested (if Google Maps is right)!

🍐 Food delivery advertisement in Odessa. Those hiding from the mobilisation butchers at home can have food delivered for a fee.

However, there is a danger that the mobilisation officers themselves are hiding behind this 'service'.

WASHINGTON, June 4 (Reuters) - The Republican-led U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation that would impose sanctions on the International Criminal Court over its prosecutor's decision to seek arrest warrants for Israeli officials related to the war in Gaza.

The vote was 247 to 155, with 42 Democrats joining Republicans in backing the measure. There were no Republican "nay" votes, although two voted "present."
The measure is not expected to become law, but reflects continuing support for Israel in Congress amid international criticism over the Middle East country's campaign in the Gaza Strip.

The White House last month criticized the ICC's decision to seek the warrants.

The bill is not expected to be brought up for a vote in the Senate, which is narrowly controlled by Biden's fellow Democrats.

The legislation, opens new tab would impose sanctions on people involved in ICC prosecutions of Americans or citizens of U.S. allies that are not ICC members, including Israel.

It also would block such ICC officials' entry to the United States, revoke any U.S. visas and restrict them from U.S. property transactions.

💛📺🇮🇱🇸🇾🇸🇾 An interview with ex-Mossad director Efraim Halevi has gone viral on social networks again, where he admitted that Israel supported the al-Qaeda branch and other groups against President Bashar al-Assad in Syria.

⚫️ 🇸🇾 Israel has collaborated for several years with al-Qaeda-led “rebels” in and around the Golan Heights (much of the Golan is occupied by Israel). First of all, we are talking about Jabhat al-Nusra (now Hayat Tahrir al-Sham), the Syrian branch of al-Qaeda.

Israel helped Syrian militants. Aid primarily took the form of treating wounded al-Qaeda members; they were then released back to Syria. Some UN reports say military assistance may also have taken place.

✡️ Yet anti-Israel rhetoric has been coming from al-Qaeda propagandists and leaders for decades.

🟡 Under pressure from Mehdi Hassan, the former Mossad chief admitted that Hezbollah members would not have been treated in Israel, nor would they have been released back to Lebanon or Syria.

🤬🚨Is this the Ukraine the West supports? Ukranian soldiers apparently fighting for "Western values" showing just how racist they are, hurling racist obscenities towards African men before executing them.

Racism and war crimes - Ukraine is a fascist, terrorist regime that will be held accountable for its crimes against humanity.

I do not expect missiles to hit cities at this stage

▪️For Kiev, it's important to show that it's "the good guy." The summit in Switzerland is in two weeks: Ukraine will definitely not do such a thing before that, because it would be political suicide.

▪️So far, they target military facilities. Next, they may well use ATACMS to strike at military and industrial facilities inside Russian cities. The jamming system may direct a missile away from a military factory, and it may hit a house nearby.

▪️But they will be very careful for now. I think nothing will change fundamentally in the coming weeks.

Ukrainian counter-offensive near Kharkov

▪️The political leadership in Kiev has not taken into account the main thing: the situation has changed a lot, the Russian army has changed. Kiev's capabilities are much weaker than a year ago, when they were preparing a powerful blow, which the valiant 58th Army led by General Popov repelled. Back then, they had their chance.

They have no chances for global success now. At most, they could try to knock the Russians out of Volchansk before the summit. They tried. It didn't work. On the contrary, the Russian command has set the task of turning the situation around and continuing the offensive in order to humiliate Ukraine on the eve of the summit.

▪️Volchansk: Most high-rise buildings are under Russian control. The front line is very dynamic, moving back and forth 100-200 meters every day - I would disregard that for now.

▪️Ukraine has clearly had no success. By knocking out the best Ukrainians in pointless attacks, the Russians gain a strategic advantage.

How important is the liberation of Kharkov for creating a buffer zone? That is, if the city is not taken, but it is surrounded, and there is no shooting from there, will this make Russian territories safe?

▪️No, it won't. Unfortunately, ATACMS have a range of up to 300 kilometers. So everything east of the Dnieper should be a security zone at the very least.

🇪🇺 BALTOPS 2024 - Preparation for the Blockade of the Baltic Sea?

Last week saw the conclusion of NATO's largest land exercises, Steadfast Defender 2024, which included the transfer of alliance troops via "land corridors" to the eastern flank. However, military preparations in Europe do not end there.

After the completion of the Steadfast Defender 2024 exercises, some of NATO's weapons and military equipment remained in the areas where the combat coordination took place. Specifically, Bundeswehr tank units on Lithuanian territory are reinforcing the contingents deployed at the borders of Russia and Belarus.

Now it's time for naval maneuvers. From June 4 to 22, the largest exercises — BALTOPS 2024 — are taking place in close proximity to the borders of the Russian Federation in the Baltic. Notably, the maneuvers will include actions by surface and underwater unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

It should be noted that the Baltic is a potentially "crisis" region, and Western "partners" constantly "stoke the fire." Provocative statements by leaders of the Baltic region countries, who speculate about closing maritime straits to Russian ships and the Baltic Fleet, and attacks towards Kaliningrad, are not just rhetoric but a deliberate provocation. According to international law, a military blockade of the Baltic Sea, as stated by the Latvian leader, would be a declaration of war against Russia.

Amidst belligerent rhetoric and large-scale NATO military exercises, one can draw an analogy to the joint Turkish-Azerbaijani maneuvers, after which troops remained in concentration areas, and some Turkish Armed Forces units did not leave Azerbaijani territory. Shortly thereafter, the Second Karabakh War began, during which Turkish officers actively participated and effectively commanded Aliyev's troops.

Thus, it is most likely that the alliance is accumulating forces to initiate aggression in the region. Additionally, a drone coalition based on land, air, and sea platforms is being expanded and tested. It should be noted that unmanned systems are the weapons of the future, which have already arrived.

He explains the way he tried & hoped there would be a peaceful resolution in the civil war that the Kiev regime began in Donbass.

Meanwhile in the land of delusion, Ukrainian propagandist Dmitry Gordon believes:

"Ukraine will enter Crimea within five months. Russia does not have enough strength to prevent this."

So if Ukraine's offensive to take the land bridge failed miserably, that leaves you with an amphibious assault. Many military analysts believe that China, a country with the world's largest navy and a population of 1.45bn, would not be able to take Taiwan in an amphibious assault. But this guy believes Ukraine can take Crimea by amphibious assault. 😂

Russian President Vladimir Putin met with representatives of the international press on June 5 within the framework of the 2024 St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) and answered their questions.

President Putin stated the following:

🌏 Russia is not threatening anybody; the Ukraine conflict started in 2014, being triggered by the anti-constitutional coup d’état in Ukraine in 2014. Western countries, which instigated the coup and supported the illegitimate regime change, bear responsibility for the ongoing conflict.

🌏 Russia recognized Donbass independence and launched the special military operation to protect it within the legal framework of Articles 1 and 51 of the UN Charter after an eight year-long attempt to settle the conflict under the 2015 Minsk Agreements, which were used by Kiev and its European backers to deceive Russia and boost the Ukrainian military.

🌏 Supplying the Kiev regime with NATO-grade high-precision long-range weapons is the path to very serious problems.

🌏 Ukrainian military personnel can participate in the selection of targets for long-range NATO-grade missiles, but the decision to strike is made by those who supply the weapons. Missiles are preprogrammed by respective Western states.

🌏 Russia can respond asymmetrically and deliver weapons to countries confronting NATO member states involved in the Ukraine conflict.

🌏 UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson pushed Kiev to abandon preliminary Russo-Ukrainian March agreements in Istanbul with the approval of the US, with the aim to accomplish their goal of inflicting strategic defeat on Russia.

Russian President Vladimir Putin emphasized Russia's economic development and overall geopolitical situation in the world while responding to questions from foreign journalists.

🌏 Putin emphasized the special nature of Russo-Chinese cooperation in a wide variety of spheres, stressing that 90 percent of financial settlements between the countries are now carried out in their national currencies.

🌏 US sanctions against China are an example of unfair market competition and an attempt to hinder the People's Republic's development.

🌏 Russia develops and diversifies economic cooperation with Belarus and Azerbaijan with a total trade turnover of $48 billion and $4.6 billion respectively. The North-South Transport Corridor linking Russia, Azerbaijan, Iran and the Persian Gulf has great potential.

🌏 Russia is enhancing energy cooperation with Turkiye by creating a gas hub in the country and developing Turkish civil nuclear infrastructure. Russia is protecting the Blue Stream and the Turkish Stream pipelines, which are targeted by Ukrainian saboteurs and drones.

🌏 The West's unprecedented number of sanctions backfired as Russia's economy continued to grow, reaching fifth place in the world by Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) in 2023 and potentially fourth place, according to the GDP indicators, in the first quarter of 2024.

🌏 The US is killing the dollar with its own hands by cutting Russia off from the Western financial system and prohibiting it from using the greenback.

🌏 Russia condemns terrorism, but what is happening currently in Gaza, which came in response to the October 2023 attack by Hamas, amounts to the total elimination of a civilian population in the Gaza Strip by Israel. This is the result of the US monopolizing settlement of the Israel-Palestine issue and sidelining international efforts to solve the conflict.

🌏 Russia is interested in stability in Afghanistan. The Taliban is maintaining real power in the country and it’s important to establish political ties with Central Asian countries taking into account the reality on the ground.

⚡️🇩🇪 GERMANY HAS NEVER BEEN SOVEREIGN, SINCE IT LOST WWII: Interestingly it wasn't subjugated by the Russians, who may actually have held a moral claim to that.

When German-made tanks began appearing on Ukrainian soil - it caused a "moral-ethical shock" in Russia - Putin explains to representative of mainstream media.


Germany remains under the U.S thumb - as it, arguably, was before.
