Thanks 🙏 the recording will be up on the drive in 5 minutes

A new Ukrainian offensive on Kazachya Lopan north of Kharkov was frustrated by the success of the Russian forces in the Donbass.

In the last two days, Ukraine transferred of mobilized units fighting near Kharkiv began to equip 30 ombr and 56 ompbr, which suffered significant losses during the hostilities in the Donbass.

But the command of the Ukrainian grouping in the Kharkiv region may aspire to take full control of the border with the Russian Federation.

After the capture of Stary Saltov, the Ukraine has expanded the zone of control east of the Seversky Donets and are probing the road near Volchansk.

Several units of armored vehicles, artillery mounts and MLRS were deployed to Stary Saltov, Khotomly and the surroundings of Volchansk.

Powerful fortified areas have been built in Chernoglazovka and Korotych in case of attempts at a counteroffensive by the Russians. The Bukovel EW stations were also transferred there.

French reporter in Moscow:

“Frankly speaking, life in Moscow seems completely normal. I am in the nearest supermarket, there is no visible shortage. Look, there's even Coca-Cola”.

I can confirm this: in my city in the Moscow province, some of the drug stores have had trouble finding new suppliers, and McDonald’s closed, but many things are normal. Even KFC and Burger King are still open. I’m not thinking of anything we want from the grocery store that we can’t get.

💢Turkey offers to solve Mariupol stand-off - RT

Russia has so far not agreed to the plan, according to Ankara

👉 Turkey has offered to evacuate Ukrainian fighters and civilians from the besieged Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s top adviser Ibrahim Kalin told Reuters on Saturday.

Currently, only fighters from the neo-Nazi Azov regiment and some units of the Ukrainian military remain inside the facility. Last week, both Russia and Ukraine said the evacuation of civilians from the sprawling industrial complex was complete.

👉 Under the Turkish scheme, wounded fighters and civilians would be taken from the plant by land to the Ukrainian port of Berdyansk, controlled by Russian forces, and then shipped to Istanbul. Kalin did not explain why the land transfer was needed given that Mariupol has a large port of its own.

“If it can be done that way, we are happy to do it. We are ready. In fact our ship is ready to go and bring the injured soldiers and other civilians to Turkey,” Kalin said, adding that the plan might still materialize. “It may happen, yes. I believe it may happen.”

"The boat is still in Istanbul. It is ready to sail but we are waiting for final clearance from Russian and Ukrainian side for it to go to Berdyansk and bring those injured soldiers to Turkey."

Ukrainian forces holed up in the steelworks have repeatedly urged foreign leaders, including Turkey’s President Erdogan, to help them get out. However, they have vowed to continue fighting, refusing to surrender to forces of Russia and the Donetsk People’s Republic, calling such an outcome “a gift for the enemy”.

Russia attacked Ukraine in late February, following Kiev’s failure to implement the terms of the Minsk agreements, first signed in 2014, and Moscow’s eventual recognition of the Donbass republics of Donetsk and Lugansk. The German- and French-brokered protocols were designed to give the breakaway regions special status within the Ukrainian state.

The Kremlin has since demanded that Ukraine officially declare itself a neutral country that will never join the US-led NATO military bloc. Kiev insists the Russian offensive was completely unprovoked and has denied claims it was planning to retake the two republics by force.

💢 The village of Dolgenkoe, for which there were and still are heavy battles.

Ukraine is trying to regain control over this settlement by counterattacks.

Look carefully, especially for those who think that the atrocities of the Ukrainian nazis are inventions of Russian television.

Right behind Dolgenkiy is the border of the Donetsk People's Republic.

Half-empty Kharkiv "captured" by wild animals

Kiev claims that Russian troops have allegedly retreated from Kharkov and civilians are returning to the city.

💢 Zelensky, by his decree, appointed Igor Tantsyura as the new commander of the Territorial Defense Forces.

By another decree, Zelensky dismissed Yuri Galushkin from this post. The reasons for the change of commander are not reported.

The main task of the new commander will be to force land forces to go to the front line to the slaughter

Kazakh bros ready

💢 All the wounded from "Azovstal" are being taken to Novoazovsk.

👉 An agreement was reached with representatives of the Ukrainian military blocked at Azovstal in Mariupol on the removal of the wounded, a cease fire was introduced and a humanitarian corridor was opened through which the wounded Ukrainian soldiers were taken to the hospital in Novoazovsk under the control of Republican forces.

💢 Nine Ukrainian soldiers who surrendered at the Azovstal plant in Mariupol represented the interests of a larger group and asked for negotiations, said Alexander Khodakovsky, the founder of the Vostok Battalion (DPR).

"Now a lively stage of negotiations is underway. It was just the first group leaving. As it turned out, the group left, representing the interests of a larger group that continues to be at Azovstal," Khodakovsky said on the air of the 60 Minutes program on the Rossiya 1 TV channel.

@NewResistance

💢 This is how the corridor near Azovstal looks like for wounded Ukrainian servicemen, buses and ambulances are waiting for them.

The first batch of wounded from Azovstal is 51 people.

The process is not going fast, they are dragged on a stretcher through the ruins, while they have not yet been brought to the bridge where the buses stand.

@NewResistance

💢 Russia has not agreed to any "extraction to third party country" scheme, as presently proposed by Azov and amenable to Turkey.

💢 I'll be looking for Volyn and Kalyna and their hot take on the Azovstal mass surrendering going on today. Hahaha

❗️⚡️not only the wounded are being taken prisoner, but also several healthy "Azov" people - a source from the scene.

⚡️ On May 16, as a result of negotiations with representatives of Ukrainian servicemen blocked at the Azovstal Iron and Steel Works in Mariupol, an agreement was reached to evacuate the wounded.

▫️At present, ceasefire regime was established in the area of the enterprise and a humanitarian corridor was opened, through which wounded Ukrainian servicemen were transported to a medical facility in Novoazovsk, Donetsk People's Republic, to provide them with all necessary assistance.

💢 Injured troops to be evacuated from Azovstal – Moscow

Evacuation from the Mariupol stronghold to a Donbass city agreed, Russian military said

Russia decided not to storm the site, saying it would take too many lives of its soldiers, and opted for a prolonged siege instead. Ukrainian troops stationed there, many of whom belong to the controversial nationalist Azov battalion, have been complaining about a shortage of food, medical supplies and ammunition for weeks.

💢 Russian journalists were hit by Ukrainian mortars near the village of Novozvanivka.

The armed forces of Ukraine fired at the correspondents of Izvestia, VGTRK and the representative of the LPR NM Ivan Filiponenko.

The mine they fired fell just 20 meters from the journalists.

There are no casualties. One soldier was saved from a splinter by his bulletproof vest.

💢Ukraine pressures Serbs with telephone terrorism and threats as Serbia rejects calls for sanctions on Russia

All of Belgrade was subjected to reports of mines. In addition to 97 schools, similar calls were received at restaurants, a number of shopping malls, the "Vozhdovac" stadium, the National Museum, the zoo, City Hall, the Russian Embassy, the airport, the presidential palace and a number of other facilities. It is also reported that all bridges, power plants and water treatment facilities have been mined.

And this is the message the employees of the Belgrade City Hall received yesterday.

"We are horrified by Russia's support. Serbia has waived sanctions and continues to fly to this country. We will not stop bombing Belgrade until AirSerbia stops flying to Russia. If you don't stop, we will not only blow up your houses, but we will kill Aleksandar Vucic".

Actually, no one is hiding anything. Only when Aleksandar Vucic, who was about to be "killed," provided Western partners with data about the threats coming from the territory of Ukraine, he was accused of being groundless and biased.

@NewResistance

💢 Ukrainian sources report that Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny continues to insist on the withdrawal of Ukrainian formations from Severodonetsk to unite with the Slavyo-Kramatorsk group.

This is despite the fact that Zelensky demands that the city be defended to the last man.

He motivates his position by the fact that the hopeless defense of the city, which the Zelensky team intends to make a "symbol of resistance", is not worth the last most combat-ready units, for which there will be nothing to replace.
