Ryazan Airborne Forces: jumping over burning logs, hand-to-hand combat, breaking boards in flight...
Make Stoltenberg watch that 😏. Maybe he will come to his senses then?

An article by NRK, most probably trying to convince that accepting nearly 80 thousand of refugees was correct decision. Some quotes:

It is about the average measured against the population. Nevertheless, the Høgre mayor talks about major challenges.

- There have been difficulties with language training. There have been challenges with housing. And then it puts pressure on the municipal services. Especially the health services, says Fosse.

Many other municipalities portray the same picture.


To sum up - you invite people to the country and at the same time you cannot calculate the capacity. What could possibly go wrong here? Really.

- We thought they would integrate quickly. It didn't happen.

- There were quite unrealistic expectations at the start. That's according to researcher Vilde Hernes.

- The Ukrainians were to be migrant workers who were to jump straight into work, without any problems.


I really wonder what made them think so. Any suggestions? Oh, yes
Someone on American TV said they are "almost as civilised as us".

But the figures show that there are major integration challenges:

Language challenges: 6 out of 10 Ukrainians in Norway do not speak any English. Only 11 percent speak fluent English. Figures from the survey by Oslo Met show so.

Out to work: The proportion of Ukrainians who find work is not higher than for other refugee groups, the survey shows. These numbers are about half a year old.


Key phrase: The proportion of Ukrainians who find work is not higher than for other refugee groups. 😏

Health problems: Six out of ten Ukrainians report that they have long-term illnesses or ailments. Figures from the Institute of Public Health show so. In particular, dental health is worse for Ukrainians than for Norwegians.
Age composition: 13 percent of Ukrainians are over 55 years old.


Of course, they have health problems, especially, when they are told to work. By the way, retirement age here is 67. And only 13% are older than 55.

Lack of planning, guys.

It concerns 800–1,000 people who, in the extreme, may be told to leave Norway.

Justice Minister Mehl and the government are clear that the goal is for fewer Ukrainians to come to Norway.

- We saw that Norway took in many more people than our neighboring countries in the Nordics. That is why we have tightened up. Now the proportion has decreased from 60 per cent to approximately 35 per cent and we are still considering tightening measures, says Mehl.

Of Ukrainians with an ordinary asylum case pending today, 370 (47 per cent) are men between 18 and 60 years of age.

The Ministry of Justice states in an e-mail that the risk of being sent into the war against Russia does not initially provide grounds for residence in Norway:

Calling up for conscription and serving in connection with a war are not conditions which in themselves provide grounds for asylum in Norway. However, this must be assessed concretely in the individual case


It was also reported that nearly 77 thousand of refugees were accepted in Norway since 2022 according to collective asylum seeking program (they have simply been accepted without individual assessment), now every refugee is assessed individually.

Moreover, those Ukrainians who were in the country before and had to leave, were allowed to stay.

Now authorities have to deal with this case. Somehow.
I don't really know how they will manage to solve that, but by wishing I'll to Russia they have dug a good grave for themselves with their own hands.

🇷🇺 The Moscow Kremlin is the largest preserved and still functioning fortification not only in Russia but also throughout Europe.

📅 It was founded as a full-fledged fortress in the middle of the 12th century, but it gained its modern and recognizable appearance only during the reign of Ivan III the Great, belonged to the famed Rurikid dynasty, in 1495.

☝️ Throughout its history, the oldest building in Moscow has managed to withstand the Polish intervention in 1612, Napoleon's invasion in 1812, and the bombing of Moscow in 1941. Despite all the upheavals, the Kremlin has resisted and today serves as the residence of the President of the Russian Federation.

And yes, I do ride a hardtail chopper with HD Sporty 1200 engine.
Will be posting some cool stuff to our wonderful audience in July/August. 🤗

Our progress does not stop

A short summary from the front on June 2, 2024 by Marat Khairulin


Our progress does not stop 

A short summary from the front on June 2, 2024 by Marat Khairulin

In the Kupyansk direction, active operations continue in the area of the settlements of Ivanovka and Kislovka. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are treating the positions of the AFU in the area of Steppe Novoselovka with artillery strikes and TOS and continue to press along the railway. Near Berestovo, our units have increased their area of control. 
Attacks are also underway in the area of Stelmakhovka, both from the northeast from Kuzemovka and from the east from Kolomyichiha. 
Since the end of May, there has been an intensification of hostilities in the area of Novoegorovka. There, at first our units occupied small forest areas north-west of Novovodyany, and now the movement towards Novoyegorovka has begun, we have already come close to it.

Fighting for the Canal continues in the Chasov Yar. The northern dachas have come under our control, and now we continue to move along the railway. The enemy is trying to prevent our advance and uses drones in large numbers. Our fighters are engaged in the identification of UAV calculations and their destruction.
The Canal microdistrict began to be taken in "pincers", as the Russian forces simultaneously advanced in Kalinovka (where they had previously taken control of the eastern part of the village).
Fighting is underway in the central part, and already beyond the Seversky Donets-Donbass canal, thus the logistics for the eastern Chasov Yar are becoming more complicated.
In fact, now both from the south and from the north of it, our units are already standing along the canal and pressing on its western shore.

Part 3👇
In the Donetsk direction, our troops continue to clear the territories south-east of the localities of Sokol and Novopokrovsky from the AFU.
They also knocked out the enemy from the ledge, which the Ukrainians held in the Semyonovka area, leveling the front along the Novopokrovskoye -Umanskoye line, thereby further approaching Novoselovka Pervaya and increasing pressure on it.
Umanskoye itself has now been officially released - this was announced by the Ministry of Defense.
The advance of our troops west of Umanskoye increases the pressure on Yasnobrodovka, which is also being approached from the direction of Netailovo. There we advanced into the fields north of the reservoir.

Recently, fighting has also intensified on the Ugledar-Konstantinovka section. So over the past month, northeast of Vladimirovka in the quarry area, and now there are assaults from Sladky towards the highway, where they have already advanced about one and a half kilometers. Most likely, there are plans to align the ledge under the AFU along the Nikolskoye-Sladkoye line, as well as cut the route to Ugledar.

There are mainly positional battles in the Zaporizhia direction in the area of Rabotino. It was possible to dislodge the enemy from some positions northwest of Verbovoye. AFU are trying their best to gain a foothold in the remnants of forest belts. Artillery is actively working on them.
To the west of the Rabotinsky salient, the Russian Armed Forces went on the offensive and advanced in the area of the settlement Nesteryanka. There is probably an intention to go to the rear of the Ukrainian units sitting in the area of Rabotino.

From my friend Anna Yojekinkot:

That's how we drove through the forests of the Novgorod region and found a grave from the time of the Great Patriotic War.

The names of the soldiers buried there are obviously still unknown. But the locals take care of this grave and bring flowers, and not only flowers.

We actually didn't think we can meet something like this in the middle of the forest. Therefore, we brought only a bouquet of wildflowers and prayed.
