When do we get to see such videos from the Ukranians?

Russia has started using "Terminators" in a special operation in Ukraine.

We are talking about tank support combat vehicles (BMPT) "Terminator". This will accelerate the process of demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine, military expert Alexander Khrolenko told @SputnikLive. @AKhrolenko

"And this is bad news for the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the National Security forces, who prefer to operate in urban development."

▪️Tank support combat vehicles are increasing the shock potential of troops, the dynamics of offensive actions, and the combat stability of tank units of the Russian Armed Forces.

They make it possible to destroy Javelin and NLAW ATGM calculations more efficiently, grind echeloned defenses faster, suppress APU counterattacks in Donbass and in other directions.

The details are here.

Israel is preparing for war with Iran

▪️ Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz said that Iran is weeks away from obtaining the material needed to build a nuclear weapon. He noted that the development of Iranian ballistic missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles and other military technology have reached the point where an urgent response is needed.

▪️ In this regard, the Israel Defense Forces exercise will begin on May 29 and will last one month. All units of the armed forces, including reserve formations, will be involved.

▪️ The purpose of the exercise is to simulate war with Iran and proxy formations in Syria and Lebanon, as well as countering terrorist groups in Israeli territory. The scenario of air strikes against Iranian nuclear and military facilities will also be practiced.

▪️ Characteristically, in planning a direct confrontation, the Israeli leadership took into account the strict need for direct U.S. involvement and the availability of their advanced weapon systems on Israeli territory.

▪️ However, Washington is certainly not ready to support the Israelis yet: the Biden administration is in another "advanced" stage of negotiations on the nuclear deal with Iran. At the moment, getting involved in another conflict against the backdrop of confrontation with Russia and China is fraught with consequences in the form of a new round of economic crisis.

▪️ In order to change the mind of the American government, Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz went to Washington. He intends to hold talks on the "Iranian threat" with his American counterpart Floyd Austin and Jake Sullivan, the US president's national security advisor.

🔻 It is unlikely that the White House is now planning to go to war with Iran. Both for the U.S. and for the rest of the world, such a scenario would mean another jump in oil prices, which would have an even greater impact on inflation.

But the Israeli leadership will try to make the most of the current situation. They will focus on the precariousness of Iran's real positions in order to force the U.S. to abandon the nuclear deal.

The Israelis will try to bluff Iran's tough negotiating position in order to cover the acute socio-economic problems that are already manifesting themselves in the form of nationwide protests in the Islamic republic.

As it happened with the war in Syria the guy who runs https://liveuamap.com/ has decided to stop updating the map, all Ukrainian channels have admitted the surrenders in Azovstal and well there are thousands of videos.
If he is refusing to update on that, imagine the conquest of small villages ...
I recommend this website, the guy who runs it is from Singapore so in general he is quite neutral and does a great job.

💬 The Americans keep saying that Russia could resort to using nuclear weapons in Ukraine. In doing this, they are pursuing several goals, and one of them is obvious: to intimidate their own people. Not only has Russia never threatened anyone with nuclear weapons, but, on the contrary, has been warning all parties all along against making irresponsible steps of this kind. However, this does not sit well with Washington.

❓This left the US thinking: what can it do?

They pretended several times that it was Sergey Lavrov who threatened that Russia would use WMDs. To no avail. We immediately debunked these fake news.

When Plan A fails, there is always a Plan B, quite similar to Plan A, but with a twist.

Recently, three US titles released articles discussing the question of how, when and why the Russians will drop the bomb, in fact reporting on the Russians’ thought instead of looking at what they are saying.

Some noteworthy observations and theories

🎙 Statement by Permanent Representative of Russia to the United Nations Vassily #Nebenzia at #UN Security Council open debate "Conflict and food security"

🔸 Present-day political culture of Western states is best characterized by a striving to blame Russia for everything. After we started a special military operation in Ukraine, the allegations against Moscow have made a “quantum leap”. Among them, allegations related to food security assumed a leading role.

🔸 We regret that our colleagues, Western #UNSC members, did not have enough courage to comment on the root causes of food and other crises in such states as Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria.

🔸 Truth is that you got too carried away by your fruitless efforts to “break the backbone” of Russian economy and isolate our country at any cost. What I am speaking about is that in your proxy war with Russia in Ukraine, you are literally holding the whole developing world as hostage, driving it towards famine. Whatever you may be saying, it is you and only you who can change this.

❗️ Nevertheless, let me assure you that Russia remains a responsible supplier of both food and energy.

👉 I will appreciate if our Western colleagues, first of all the United States and the European Union, today publicly refute this “food for weapons” version which many experts stick to. Also, I invite them to explain how these deliveries actually contribute to global food security that you claim to be so concerned about.

Full statement

The other day it emerged that Russian and China-based electronics manufacturer and developer Dannie has created a motherboard designed to work with Chinese Zhaoxin processors. The board is called the MBX-Z60A. As far as we know, the company is going to launch a large number of such boards, and Dannie's Russian division, Danny LLC, is responsible for its development, with the motherboard being manufactured in Elektrostal, just outside Moscow. Zhaoxin's processors are generally on par with Intel's 2010s models, not intended for gaming, but in general are perfectly capable of running most civilian office applications.
Mass production of the motherboard will begin at the end of this year, with a monthly production rate of around twelve thousand per month. The Zhaoxin processors, on the other hand, were among those chosen by the Chinese government a few weeks ago to replace all AMD and Intel processors in Chinese government offices and public enterprises.
