France has given Ukraine permission to use Storm Shadows/Scalp cruise missiles to strike airfields in Kursk and Belgorod regions, the BBC (https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cjll1r1el5wo) quoted an anonymous military aviation officer as saying.

They want to buy Hungary, it is not for sale. It is so valuable precisely because it is not for sale. It is not for sale to Brussels, Washington or Soros. Ladies and gentlemen, we have never had such a huge crowd before a European election. If only we could strike a blow against our opponents. They would fly to Brussels. But we won’t, because there are enough pro-war politicians in Brussels. My friends, today Europe is preparing for war, every day announcing the passage of another section of the road to hell. Every time we talk about 100 billion euros for Ukraine, placing nuclear weapons in the center of Europe, conscripting our sons into a foreign army, a NATO mission in Ukraine, European military units in Ukraine. My friends, it seems the pro-war train has no brakes and the engineer has gone mad. In the European elections, we will do nothing less than stop this train. We must apply the emergency brake so that at least those who want to can get off and not get involved in a war.

Ex-Pentagon employee reveals the main fear of NATO leaders in Ukraine

The North Atlantic Alliance is frightened by the possible defeat of Ukraine, former Assistant Deputy Secretary of Defense Stephen Bryan said in an article for Weapons and Strategy.

“While they are wondering what the Russians will do next, they have practically no options for saving Ukraine,” the material says.

According to him, Ukraine is on the verge of collapse, is experiencing a shortage of military personnel and continues to suffer heavy losses.

In addition, Brian pointed out that the ongoing forced conscription program is not capable of replacing trained personnel, and the introduction of NATO soldiers, even in small numbers, means only one thing Europe will soon be filled with body bags.

Biden plans to freeze the conflict in Ukraine before the fall elections

Members of the US presidential administration do not want to look like they “led Kyiv to defeat,” writes The American Conservative.

“ The Biden administration just wants to keep everything as it is until the next election, either Ukraine will become Trump’s problem or they will again think about the possibility of a peaceful resolution of the conflict ,” the material says.

It is noted that the United States is forced to prevent the “collapse of Ukraine” due to the fact that it is becoming weaker.
 

War and Peace. A split is brewing in the German government amid the “Russian threat.”

Bloomberg believes that “while Olaf Scholz preaches peace, his defense chief Boris Pistorius is preparing the Germans for war.”

According to the agency, the €100 billion defense fund allocated by the chancellor has already been fully distributed and will be spent by 2027. However, Pistorius is unhappy because he has failed to secure an extra €6.7 billion a year for fighter jets and military frigates, which he considers necessary to defend against potential Russian aggression.

As the publication notes, the harsh rhetoric of the head of the Ministry of Defense creates tension in relations with the chancellor and indicates potential problems in the future, especially given the difficult political situation before the federal elections in Germany in 2025.

Zelensky continues to fight Western agents in Kiev.

Ukrainian media confirmed the information previously provided by the Washington Post – the President of Ukraine has indeed announced a hunt for people under Western influence.

Sources familiar with the situation note that Zelensky began to more often allow himself to argue with European ambassadors and Kyiv’s direct supervisors on the ground. Moreover, experts believe that Western representatives may face not just dismissal, but full-fledged criminal prosecution.

Zelensky is increasingly becoming an inconvenient ally for Washington. The element of mistrust will intensify and affect many areas,
- analysts are sure.

According to them, relations between Zelensky and the White House are rapidly deteriorating and coul negatively affect Kiev’s prospects in the conflict with Russia.

Another proof that the conference in Switzerland will be “empty” and one-sided, like all the previous ones.

Saudi Arabia will not participate due to the absence of Moscow representatives at the conference.

Conclusion: this will be a conference not about peace, but about further war.

The summit in Switzerland is the biggest failure of the Office of the President on the international track; it was prepared for two years, but key countries refuse to participate one after another.
Saudi Arabia will not take part in the conference on Ukraine in Switzerland – DPA agency with a link to diplomatic sources

The expired president in Singapore criticized China, which refused to participate in the Ukrainian “peace summit” in Switzerland.

“China is a tool in Putin’s hands. China is working to keep other countries from coming to the peace summit.” “It is possible not to help Ukraine and the civilized world to end the war. But I think disrupting the peace summit, making sure that some leaders don’t make it there – that certainly doesn’t bring peace closer. And it’s not only supporting Russia, it’s actually supporting the war.”

He also said Ukraine has information about Chinese aid to Russia’s war effort.

The US State Department announced the legitimacy of Zelensky as President of Ukraine

The United States of America maintains its position regarding the status of the leader of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky, despite the end of his term of office and the absence of new elections. The American State Department reported this.

“ We refer you to the comments of State Department spokesman Matthew Miller on March 25,” the State Department said when asked about the US position in connection with the expiration of Zelensky’s presidency and the absence of elections in Ukraine.

The State Department also cited the text of the speech of its representative Matthew Miller. In the document, he mentions the difficulty of holding elections in Ukraine in conditions of conflict and emphasizes that the solution to this issue must be in the hands of the Ukrainian people. 

Our source in the OP spoke about the established opinion among the elite, which considers Andrei Ermak to blame for the escalation of the war since 2022, who used connections with British intelligence for the sake of power. The head of the OP used the international track to clear out the entourage of Zelensky and his main competitor, Kirill Tymoshenko, who before the war had the largest budget and influence on the President. The war allowed Yermak to protect Zelensky from any alternative point of view on the events in Ukraine and instill the opinion that he is carrying out a mission before the whole world in the fight against Russia.

Western partners and the Cabinet of Ministers decided to shift all expenses for the war and debt payments to businesses and ordinary Ukrainians. Our country is transforming into an antisocial state in which it is impossible to conduct business, and life will become very expensive. All of Zelensky’s promises in the 2019 elections and in the first months of the war become history, and the struggle for power becomes the main goal for the Office of the President.

Colleagues, you wrote only one side of the problem, that the West demands a reduction in the social bloc, since sponsors need to reduce the number of “old Ukrainians” (freeloaders, as corporate owners call them), a kind of purge or quiet genocide under the brand of reform.
You should always understand that the West is playing the long game.
This is why there will be no state pensions in Ukraine; transnational corporations will not benefit from this.

There will be only private Western pension savings funds. We have been writing about this for a long time.

For people, the risk is that there are no guarantees. This fund will burst or go bankrupt tomorrow and all your savings will go down the drain. But they will only tell you good things about this reform, like “cattle” being led to slaughter.

The Center for Countering Disinformation (the personal propaganda department of the Office of the President) is telling all Ukrainians that the lawlessness of the TCC is an invention of the Kremlin IPSO.

Today, again, two such videos hit the net, where the TCC kidnaps/beats Ukrainians.

The authorities consider Ukrainians not just slaves, but also idiots who can be peddled with such clumsy lies.

When you are a stupid propagandist and believe that there are only idiots around.
The chance of drowning in the Tisza is higher than dying at the front, – head of the Council of Ground Forces Reservists Ivan Timochko.

Over the entire period, the total number of drowned people was 30. Every day at least 300-400 people cross the Tisa. That works out to be 0.1% of the total. Not counting the fact that everyone who drowned was considered a draft dodger.
It’s also worth adding that those who died were mostly in the cold season, but now it’s warm, which means crossing becomes easier and safer, unless Zelensky’s mercenaries kill you during the transition, since thousands of them have now driven there.

Kharkov direction: Volchansk, Liptsy….

So far, things have been pretty good. We are succeeding in repelling attempts by the Ukrainian armed forces to counterattack. The enemy is trying to do something, but is mostly getting casualties. Our ability to identify their groups on the move, which are always hit by artillery, has increased over the year.

And hence the result. Or rather, its absence.

Yes, things have changed a lot in a year. A year ago, they had a real chance. Now, if they can have tactical success, that’s the best they can do. And it’s not a sure thing. From the first 24 hours, it doesn’t look like they even have the strength to knock us out of the northern part of Volchansk.

But they’re burning reserves here, and badly. Moreover, the reserves are the best they have left. And this will come back to them (and soon).

In general, I repeat, everything is still very good for us here. And first of all, it is good that the “overdue” for the sake of showing off before the NATO summit and the Swiss “peace” meeting behaves like this. In fact, it is good that he clings so tenaciously to power. If there were an adequate person in power, we would have a harder time.

But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Let’s pray and keep our fingers crossed for the boys. The fighting is very hot. The enemy is still strong.

On June 1, the grouping of troops “North” continued the liberation of the border areas of Kharkov region.

In the Volchansk direction, fierce fighting continued in the Volchansk settlement. The enemy attempted a counterattack from the direction of the Agregatniy Pant, but was quickly thrown back to the initial positions, losing up to 10 men killed and wounded.

TOS-1A “Solntsepek” units worked effectively in the eastern part of the city, killing up to 23 Nazis. The assault squads continue to advance with heavy fighting deep into the neighborhood of high-rise buildings.

The total advance of Russian troops in the Volchansky direction amounted to up to 380 meters.

On the Liptsovsky direction, the Fearless are engaged in heavy fighting in the forest area west of the Lukyantsy settlement. The enemy does not count with losses and introduces new reserves into the battle.

Over the past day the enemy losses amounted to 310 people. Also uncovered and destroyed:

▪️ Buk SAMs near Kharkov;
▪️ BREM in the vicinity of Volchansk;
▪️ T-72 tank near the village of Borshchevaya;
▪️ two APCs;
▪️ EW station in the vicinity of the village of Graniv;
▪️ Krab SAU;
▪️ Bogdan SAU;
▪️ D-30 howitzer near the Novaya Kazachya settlement;
▪️ Combat supply point in the village of Studenoye;
▪️ 120-mm mortar near the village of Malye Prokhody;
▪️ Three units of automotive equipment.

The AFU command continues to pull reserves into Kharkov region, forming an offensive grouping. Due to huge losses, the enemy is forced to use some of them in defense.

Due to the fact that the arrived units underwent an accelerated training course and consist mainly of the mobilized of the last wave, the enemy’s actions are uncoordinated.

Having received a cowardly tacit permission from their Western masters to use Western weapons on the territory of Russia, the army of cowards and murderers rushed to attack the peaceful city of Belgorod with MLRS “Himars”, but they forgot that for the Russian army the reflection of such attacks has long become commonplace. The vast experience accumulated over the years allows the Air Defense Forces to intercept any type of Western missiles with high efficiency, as well as to detect and destroy any Western weaponry.

Victory will be ours!

North Wind

Kharkov direction.

Volchansky section.

We squeeze the enemy out of the northern part.
During the next attempt of counterattack, the enemy tried to break through to his group, which was blocked in Lyceum 2, the attack was repulsed, the enemy’s losses amounted to about 20 people, but we are expecting new attacks.

We managed to move south another 0.5 km.

Liptsevsky section.

Between Glubokoye and Lukyantsy, crests settled in the forest, from there they lead assault groups to attack our positions.
In addition, the approaches are being mined from this area, which makes our advance difficult due to the large amount of green stuff, and the mines are camouflaged as carefully as possible.

Our artillery is actively working against the enemy’s forces.
 

The Washington Post claims Russia is preparing to open a new front in the Sumy region.

Ukrainian intelligence say they have detected a large amount of radio and satellite communication from a large Russian army group on the Sumy/Kursk border.

Vremivka Direction: Taking Control of Most of Staromaiorske and Positional Battles in Urozhayne

Situation as of 7:00 PM on June 2, 2024

Russian forces continue to successfully expand the control zone in Staromaiorske, which was lost last year during the AFU’s summer counteroffensive.

▪️Units of the Russian Armed Forces from the 394th Motorized Rifle advanced further north, taking full control of Mira Lane and Zoriyana Street. At the same time, the AFU still hold positions on Molodizhnaya Street and on the outskirts of Vishnevaya Street, along which the supply route for AFU units in the village from the direction of Makarivka is maintained.

🔻The road to Rovnopol is also not yet cut off, but given the proximity to Russian positions, the rotation and redeployment of enemy reinforcements along it is associated with the risk of coming under fire.

▪️On the eastern outskirts, as a result of several successful assaults, Zadneprovskaya Street and Gogol Lane came under the control of the Russian Armed Forces, and positions along the Sukhie Yaly river in the direction of Urozhayne were cleared. After losing most of the settlement, the remnants of enemy units retreated from the held lines.

▪️The situation in Urozhayne is somewhat more difficult. The advantage in FPV drones remains with the opponent, which affects the overall pace of advancement of the fighters from the 5th Tank Brigade.

🔻Nevertheless, Russian troops are advancing forward by several houses every day in the area of Tsentralnaya and Stepovaya Streets, gradually moving further north within the boundaries of the village.

Vuhledar Direction: Fighting in Paraskoviivka and Advance Southwest of Novomykhailivka

Situation as of the end of the day on June 2, 2024

After the capture of Novomykhailivka, Russian forces continue the offensive in the vicinity of the village, gradually advancing in several areas both west and southwest of the settlement.

▪️In Paraskoviivka, assault groups of the Russian Armed Forces managed to consolidate on the eastern outskirts. Near the cottage area, Russian units also advanced within the village, occupying several houses on Shevchenko Street.

🔻The fighting in the village is extremely fierce: despite the small size of the village, both sides are actively using artillery and strike drones.

▪️South of Novomykhailivka, Russian units have entrenched themselves in one of the forest belts, successfully landing a landing force. To the southwest, the Russian Armed Forces, during several assaults, seized two forest belts adjacent to the dried-up reservoir.

▪️West of Solodke, assault units of the “East” grouping advanced about a kilometer west along the Solenenkaya Gully.

🔻The attacking infantry units are supported by the fire of heavy armored vehicles, and coordination and fire strikes are provided by UAV operators, which allowed them to quickly dislodge the AFU from their occupied positions.

▪️In the area of the Ikryana Gully, Russian forces are also advancing in several areas. In particular, some time ago, an armored group (https://t.me/creamy_caprice/5706) with a landing force drove the enemy out of the forest belt north of Vladymirivka, straightening out the front line.

Donetsk Direction: Advances of Russian Forces in Krasnohorivka and Fighting in the Netailovo Area
Situation as of the end of the day on June 2, 2024

In the Donetsk direction, units of the Russian forces continue (https://t.me/rybar/60559) the assault on Krasnohorivka from several directions.

▪️On the eastern outskirts, the Russian Armed Forces over the past few days have been able to advance along four streets in fierce fighting and consolidate in the buildings on Zapadna Street, advancing towards Nakhimova Street.

▪️In the city center, Russian assault groups have occupied several buildings north of Tsentralna Street and have effectively reached the Metalurh stadium and T.H. Shevchenko Park.

There is no information about fighting on the territory of the park. Most likely, the park area will be bypassed from the flanks through the buildings to the west and east.

🔻North of the Ohneuporny Plant, assault groups have consolidated on Fermerska Street over the past few days and advanced towards Sumska Street, where heavy fighting is underway. At the same time, skirmishes with the remnants of enemy infantry groups continue on Administratyvna Street and Yaroslava Mudroho Street, with clearing operations ongoing.

▪️In the western part of the city, the AFU have been driven out of the territory of the Oleksandrivske farm, which will partially disrupt the supply of enemy forces through Sedova Street on the western outskirts. South of the farm, the livestock farm near the Paris Commune Pond has come under the control of the Russian Armed Forces.

❗️Further advancement deep into the private sector on the northern outskirts of Krasnohorivka is still complicated by the enemy’s continued control over Nevelskoye and the adjacent heights.

▪️Despite this, the Russian forces have achieved significant success on the Pershotravneve – Nevelskoye line. South of Netailovo, the Russian Armed Forces have occupied abandoned orchards and consolidated on the territory of destroyed farms. The enemy has retreated from positions north of the Domakha Gully, but still holds positions in Nevelskoye.

Chasov Yar. Our people on the southern flank crossed the canal in one throw, covered a half-kilometer distance and came close to the outskirts of the Novy microdistrict.

The pincers around the city continue to close in.

There are reports that Russian troops have penetrated the AFU defenses north of Chasov Yar near Kalinovka and have crossed the Seversky Donets-Donbass canal.

Part of the AFU units have rolled back to a pre-marked defense line and are entrenched there.

Russian troops crossed the water canal north of Chasov Yar and took most of the village of Kalinina – Bild analyst Repke

In the canal area, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have “hundreds of meters of trenches,” but there are not enough people in them, which is why the Russian Armed Forces overcame the obstacles “without any resistance on the ground.”

“No Ukrainian troops in the trenches, no small arms fire, no mines,” the analyst writes.

In addition, it is reported that Russian troops entered the settlement of Sokol west of Avdeevka.

According to Röpke, these advances are also related to the shortage of shells in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

No, Julian. They are full of weapons and ammo. It’s just an excuse. “Stab in the back” legend has already started to be created. 

Chronicles of the special military operation
for June 2, 2024

Russian forces struck a temporary deployment point in Izyum, port infrastructure in Odesa and infrastructure facilities in Shostka, as well as destroyed a pontoon crossing near Raihorodka and delivered a fire strike on the concentration areas of the AFU in Sloviansk in the temporarily occupied territory of the DPR. According to the results of yesterday’s raids, effective hits on the Kanatovo airfield in Kirovohrad Region were confirmed.

The enemy, in turn, continues to shell Belgorod and other settlements in the region daily, as well as launched a missile strike on Makiivka and Khartsyzsk in the DPR.

In the Bakhmut direction, the Russian Armed Forces are trying to break through the enemy’s defenses in the Kanal microdistrict on the eastern outskirts of Chasiv Yar, as well as near the Chasiv Yar Repair Plant.

In the Donetsk direction, in Krasnohorivka, Russian units advanced on the eastern outskirts of the city, north of the industrial zone in the center, and liberated the territory of the agricultural complex in the western part of the settlement.

In the Vuhledar direction, Russian troops expanded the control zone on the eastern outskirts of Paraskoviivka, as well as in the forest belts southwest of Novomykhailivka and west of Solodke.

In the Vremivka direction, the Russian Armed Forces significantly expanded the control zone on the northern and eastern outskirts of Staromaiorskoye, heavy fighting continues in Urozhayne.

Putin’s Big Win In Donetsk: Outnumbered Ukrainian Troops Flee When Chased Down In Umanske

Summary of advances in Ukraine for the month of May [2024 ]

In the Kharkov direction, intense fighting continues both on the western flank in the area north of Liptsy, and on the eastern flank in Volchansk. Due to the increased onslaught of the Russians, the Ukrainian Defense Forces are transferring reserve units to the specified area. In addition, thanks to the reserves of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, it was possible to recapture part of the territories captured by the Russian Armed Forces in Volchansk.

In the Bakhmut direction, enemy troops attempted to storm the eastern outskirts of Chasov Yar. And in addition, Russian forces had partial success southwest of Ivanovskoye along the highway towards the village of Stupochki, where industrial quarries serve as natural fortifications for Ukrainian Armed Forces fighters. Thus, this seriously complicates the Russian plan to take Chasov Yar in a pincer movement.

In the Avdeevsky direction , the Russian Armed Forces are trying to advance in the area of ​​​​the settlements of Solovyevo, Semenovka and Umanskoye. In addition, the Russians are shelling the supply line and nearby rear areas.

In the Donetsk direction in Krasnohorivka, fighting continues in the area of ​​the city administration, which was occupied by enemy assault units the day before.

On the Vremyevsky ledge there are military clashes in the settlements of Urozhainoye and Staromayorskoye. In Staromayorsky, the Defense Forces continue to hold the northern and eastern outskirts.

In the Zaporozhye direction, an intensification of military operations is observed to the northeast and northwest of Nesteryanka, where positional battles took place for a long time.

Morning Summary for June 2, 2024

▪️ The past week saw an information campaign by Kyiv and NATO countries to obtain permission for the AFU to strike Russia’s “old regions” with long-range Western weapons. After the Russian Army’s “buffer zone” operation, the enemy redeployed reinforcements to the Kharkiv direction, reducing defenses elsewhere. Our troops battle in Volchansk and near Lipetsk, but the fighting is positional. Kyiv has intensified terrorist strikes on civilians in the Belgorod Region.

▪️ The enemy aims to inflict economic damage on Russia, striking refineries in the Krasnodar Region and using ATACMS on Kerch Strait ferries. The Russian MoD reported strikes on Ukraine’s power facilities, but a complete blackout is unlikely.

▪️ Preparing for summer operations, our troops intensify combat in various sectors. On the Zaporizhia front, they occupy 4 strongholds west of Robotyne. On the Kherson direction, there is active work in the Dnieper island zone. The Sumy direction sees high-intensity mutual strikes and troop movements in the Kursk Region. In the Chasiv Yar direction, heavy fighting continues to encircle the city. West of Avdiivka, our troops break through the enemy’s defenses.

▪️ Kyiv is conducting mass mobilization. Footage shows police and military enlistment offices detaining citizens, concentrating public anger on them, not the government. Fleeing to the West is increasingly difficult, with Romania and Ukraine trying to return draft dodgers.
