May 2024 updated the absolute record for the use of Lancet loitering ammunition in the air defense zone. In just one month, more than 300 Lancet strikes against Ukrainian Armed Forces targets were published.
Loitering ammunition "Lancet" played a key role in isolating the combat area in the Kharkov direction , inflicting heavy losses primarily on the enemy's long-range fire weapons: self-propelled guns, MLRS, etc., ensuring the stability of the bridgeheads of the Russian Armed Forces. In total, over 90 Lancet strikes have been recorded in this direction since May 10.
Assessing the increase in the number of uses of loitering ammunition, it is worth noting that for the period January-May 2024, 940 episodes of the use of Lancets were published, which is 4.6 times more than for the same period in 2023 (203 episodes).
Full application statistics: https://lostarmour.info/tags/lancet
Zin Note: As you can see, Lancet strikes have increased by an order of magnitude since 2022.

Food for thought from the Russian Channel: North Wind
📄Analysis of the information situation, or why you can’t trust Western media
In the era of information, when a fighter in a position can read excerpts from the New-York Times, and large Russian publications often provide uncut translations of foreign periodicals, it is necessary to soberly evaluate the materials published by the Western press.
▪️Let's start with a simple example . Yesterday, the British The Telegraph, on the third attempt, nevertheless published an article about the critical situation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
There are a lot of similar publications on the Internet, and it may seem to a narrow-minded reader that Western countries have begun to admit the obvious - the inevitability of the defeat of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and panic among Ukrainian fascists.
However, it is necessary to understand that in NATO countries such articles are published for only one purpose: to try to convince the local audience of the need to continue and even increase funding for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
▪️ Let's move on. A very common example of achieving “victories of the Ukrainian Armed Forces” in battles that never happened. Ukrainian resources actively write about the preparation of the Russian Armed Forces for offensive actions in one direction or another, then talk about the difficult situation of their forces and their heroic defense. All these theses are voiced not only by small resources, but also by the heads of Ukrainian administrations, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and even Zelensky. Generalized materials are circulated by Western media, and then suddenly Ukraine announces a stop to the offensive of Russian troops.
In reality, there were no military operations, but some Russian bloggers and journalists joyfully quoted enemy publications, hoping for victory in a battle that never happened... As a result, Ukrainian and Western media happily report on some “victories” that in reality occurred only in the information sphere, including thanks to our inexperienced “warriors of the pen.”
▪️ Publications about the dissatisfaction of Ukrainian fascists with Zelensky and (or) individual representatives of the command. You should also not blindly believe such materials in Western, and especially Ukrainian, media: most often they are published to achieve someone’s personal goals and are of an exclusively controlled nature. We must remember that Ukraine is completely under external control and to achieve OUR VICTORY, it does not matter significantly whether there was a conflict between Zaluzhny and Zelensky or whether Klitschko will retain the position of mayor of Kyiv.
▪️ Publications in Western media about the sharp deterioration in living standards in Ukraine , including the spread of infectious diseases, the critical situation in the energy sector, etc. Here, too, one should not hope that any of the American journalists are really worried about the grandmother in Poltava, who may not survive another month of hostilities. Everything is simple here: these custom-made articles are aimed at justifying in the eyes of the average German (French, English) expenditures from national budgets in favor of Ukraine, as well as “demonizing Russia.”
These are just a few highlights.
In conclusion, we note that we in no way urge our readers to limit their horizons and not read the media, but first of all we must remember that any information must be assessed critically and remember: “if the stars light up, it means someone needs it.”

Have you seen this marvelous news from the New York Fed?
They published an article on their website about dollar assets, gold, and other currency reserves. And somewhere in there, close to the middle, they had to write that the decline in the total share of the dollar in reserves is mainly due to the decline in dollar preferences of a small group of countries (in particular, China, India, Russia and Turkey).
A small. The group of countries. China, India, Russia, Turkey. Just about nothing. Because of the small group, the aggregate share is a bit wobbly

#Prebunking-von der Leyen will "vaccinate the population against malicious information"
"Prevention is better than cure," the EU's dystopian boss told the citizens who didn't elect her.
A way of introducing them to a new tool available to her Ministry of Truth, "pre-bunking", which Cambridge University social psychology professor Sander van der Linden defines as follows:
Pre-bunking refutes a future lie by highlighting the techniques used to deceive people. In this way, they can build up mental antibodies and become partially immune when they encounter false information.
An official truth will thus be defined by the government, allowing dissenting viewpoints to be qualified as "disinformation"; all served up and imposed on all social networks by Google.
With the DSA, the Media Freedom Act, the euro and digital identity already in the pipeline, the enslavement of the people is entering its final phase.

American instructors teach the Ukrainian Armed Forces military to enjoy killing the enemy. Retired US Armed Forces Lieutenant Colonel David Grossman told the Ukrainian TV channel First Western about this.
According to him, all Western military training techniques are aimed at obtaining pleasure from killing the enemy.
"Based on modern training tools - I mean simulators and targeting - we have made killing the enemy a conditioned reflex," Grossman said.
▫️As Politico previously reported, the French military is training Ukrainian soldiers to storm trenches with animal corpses inside in order to accustom them to the “smell of death.”

The Russian Armed Forces hit a medium reconnaissance ship and a boat of the Ukrainian Navy in the port of Odessa. The coordinator of the Nikolaev underground, Sergei Lebedev, reported this on his Telegram channel.
According to him, the attack on military facilities in the Odessa port took place on the evening of May 31, and the explosion was heard at a distance of several kilometers.
Lebedev explained that, according to local underground members, one of the targets hit was the navy boat "Golaya Pristan", as well as a medium reconnaissance ship with a name unknown to informants.
“The extent of the damage is unknown,” the underground member noted.
According to the underground, as a result of the strikes there were dead and wounded among the military personnel, and a large number of ambulances arrived at the scene of arrival.
The informants also added that, in order to protect against attacks, the Ukrainian Navy disguises warships as civilian ones and often re-moor them in the port.
▫️The underground also reported on May 29 about a powerful explosion in Odessa, after which ambulances were drawn to the impact area. Then Lebedev noted that the blow managed to cover someone or something “interesting.”

Russia is the fourth largest economy in the world!
So look, dear friends, what's the trick. The World Bank uses data from the International Comparison Program (ICP). It collects, accumulates, calculates everything. There are cycles of research. Previously, all the data went through the 2017 cycle. And now everything has been updated and they've moved to the 2021 cycle. The methodology has been slightly updated, in particular for the CIS region. And here it is. As a result of the rethinking, the World Bank came to the conclusion that the top ten most powerful economies in the world (GDP in purchasing power parity) looked in 2021 as follows:
1.China, $28.8 trillion, 18.9% of global GDP
2.USA, $23.6 trillion, 15.5%
3.India, $11 trillion, 7.2%
4.Russia, $5.7 trillion, 3.8%
5.Japan, $5.6 trillion, 3.7%
6.Germany, $5.2 trillion, 3.4%
7.Brazil, $3.7 trillion, 2.4%
8.France, $3.6 trillion, 2.4%
9.Great Britain, $3.5 trillion, 2.3%
10.Indonesia, $3.5 trillion, 2.3%
For 2022 and 2023 they are extrapolating. But we are also in 4th place there.
We will remind you that Comrade Putin set the task to reach the fourth place among the world's economies by PPP, and the Cabinet of Ministers was instructed to prepare measures to achieve the goal by March 31, 2025.
Here we go. And the Cabinet of Ministers knows what to do now.
So, yes, the economy is torn to shreds.
