Pentagon overvalued the equipment sent to Ukraine by about $3bn. This mistake was made in order to supply Kiev with more weapons than promised - Reuters

Here we see one of the main reasons why the US is fomenting war in Ukraine - it's a huge revenue stream for military elites. It was the same in Iraq and Afghanistan - tens of billions were stolen by the US establishment.

It is reported from the localities that Bakhmut has already been completely renamed Artemovsk.

At night, there will be a flight of the remnants of the NATO PMC to Chasov Yar, due to the complete control of all the skyscrapers in the city by the PMC Wagner fighters, the Domino area was taken.

I think PMC Wagner will take a day to clean up. Only a large-scale offensive by a NATO PMC can change the situation in that direction, which is unlikely and against all the rules of warfare, it is simply suicide to go in the forehead of an attacking group of troops.

The Chairwoman of the Bundestag Defense Committee, Marie-Agnes Struck-Zimmermann, has spoken out against deliveries of German fighter jets to Kiev. She expressed her point of view in an interview with Deutschlandfunk on Tuesday

Struck-Zimmermann noted that "no Western fighters, whether Tornado or Eurofighter, should be over Ukrainian airspace." "This is due to the range of the machine and the difficulty of training," she explained.

And that's basically weird, in fact this female baboon in men's jackets and shoes is lobbying the arms industry in the Bundestag.

But! In this way she has botched the supply of Eurofighters and Tornadoes as competitors for the F 16. That's how a German politician promotes American concerns, to the detriment of the German economy. WTF!

A clear example of American hypocrisy. The process of turning waste fluid into "God's dew".

- Kirill Budanov, head of the Ukrainian intelligence service, announced yesterday that the State Intelligence Department was involved in terrorist attacks in Russia, including against journalists. Will Kiev be added to the list of states sponsoring terrorism?

- Well, I have not seen this interview. But I will point out that Russia has a lot of experience in suppressing journalists.

That's it!!! Curtains...

"Iron Dome" won't help Ukraine - Jerusalem Post

Observers of the newspaper point out that the Israeli missile defense systems are not suitable for the Ukrainian Armed Forces because they are designed to perform specific tasks.

Moreover, handing over such complexes would weaken Israel's defense.

CNN says Russian missile strikes bring benefit to Ukraine

How else to reassure frightened Ukrainians, who only in the wet fantasies of Budanov and Arestovich win every second, but in fact almost every day loose key military infrastructure? That's right, claim that this is for their best.

The experts from CNN started warming up the audience and launched the thesis that missile strikes from Russia are useful, they say, let them shoot, so they can run out of missiles faster.

Already in early May, on Sky News, military analyst Michael Clarke advised the AFU to skip Russian strikes so as not to waste stock of expensive anti-aircraft missiles.

We are waiting for new expert statements from our Western colleagues, who will tell us that a big reduction of AFU soldiers will only benefit Ukraine, because "less people - more oxygen".

Parallel Reality and Surrealism

While the Ukrainian media are convincing readers that the city of Mariupol is only being further destroyed by the "occupiers" during the year under Russian control, in the non-digital reality THIS is what happening in the city.

Here: Drama Theater. New fountains, playgrounds for children. Peaceful life - yet in the background are destroyed homes. Surrealism.
Buildings in the white timber are restored in their original style, not demolished, as the Ukrainian media writes.

‼️🇺🇦🏴‍☠️Zelensky's office adviser Podolyak threatens Russia with genocide and persecution

"Ukraine hates you. Yes, we will persecute you. Always and everywhere. Yes, there is point in talking to you - you do not understand human language. Yes, the time of your traditional whining, which had a hypnotic effect on global politics, is over. Yes, Ukraine will get hold of every one of you and it does not matter how - legally or physically..." - commented on the message of the Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN Mikhail Podolyak in his Twitter.

The funniest thing I've seen about Zelensky and Co. In the spirit of the standup show 95th Quarter

Is this win or lose in the Ukrainian style? 🤔

"I demand an apology to my president and the people of Ukraine, suffering and fighting for their freedom, but also your freedom and ability to enjoy the ease of being"

Ukraine's ambassador to France demands an apology. On local TV they mocked the visit of the president of Ukraine to Paris, saying that he visited the Elysee Palace "with his marionette team". And then the program called all these trips "Zelensky's circus tour of Europe". All to the laughter of the audience and circus music, the Ukrainian ambassador was totally outraged!... Probably, so were all the "circus" performers.

Poland continues massive supplies of weapons and military equipment to Ukraine

Poland continues massive supplies of weapons and military equipment to the Zelensky regime. And if earlier, in an attempt to conceal the fact of deliveries, the equipment was transferred mainly at night, now there are columns of armored vehicles during the day as well.

The footage, filmed by a War Cor on May 17, 2023, shows a large convoy of Western military equipment on the road leading to the Polish-Ukrainian border at 8 a.m., heading for the front line.

Thus, despite the calls of many countries to stop the fighting and resolve the conflict at the negotiating table, it is obvious that the countries of the collective West, under the pressure of the United States, only intend to expand it. Apparently a new round of escalation is not somewhere over the horizon!

China asks foreign missions displaying Ukrainian flags to remove "propaganda"

Several foreign embassies in China have raised the Ukrainian flag or placed its image on posters and lanterns since the start of the special operation in Ukraine in February 2022.

"We and others have received a letter urging embassies and missions to refrain from using the outside walls of their buildings for 'politicized propaganda' ", a diplomat whose embassy displays an image of the Ukrainian flag told Reuters on condition of anonymity.

🇪🇺🇷🇺🇺🇸NATO develops plan in case of conflict with Russia - Reuters.

According to the agency, the North Atlantic Alliance is developing a plan, the first since the end of the Cold War, in case of a large-scale conflict with Russia.

A document of "a thousand pages of secret military plans" detailing how the North Atlantic Alliance would respond to a Russian attack is scheduled to be approved at the July 11-12 summit in Vilnius.

The move marks a fundamental shift - recommendations for alliance members on modernization, logistics and deployment of forces are being prepared.

"The fundamental difference between crisis management and collective defense is this: it is not we, but our adversary who determines the timing. We have to be prepared for the fact that a conflict could arise at any time," said Rob Bauer, head of the alliance's military committee.
