Permanent mission of Russia accused the EU of ignoring the interests of the Serbs in Kosovo
Permanent mission of Russia: EU ignoring the interests of Serbs in Kosovo led to tension

BRUSSELS, May 31 —  RIA Novosti. The European Union, having assumed the role of the main mediator in the settlement of Kosovo, did not even try to find long-term solutions, RIA Novosti was told in the Russian permanent mission to the EU, commenting on another round of tension in the Balkans.

"What we are seeing now is a direct consequence of the unfair     fulfillment by the EU mediators of their obligations, namely, the fundamental unwillingness to contribute to a real search for long-term solutions. The EU mediation in the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue, in fact, has been reduced to only feverish tossing in attempts to "put out the fire "without fighting its true causes," the Russian diplomatic mission said.

They pointed to statements by EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell, who announced another attempt to convene an emergency round of dialogue on the Kosovo problem.

"In other words, Brussels, creating the illusion of mediation, was waiting for the next escalation in order to make a kind of heroic attempt to put the crisis on pause. But these pauses are getting shorter and the crisis stages are becoming more explosive," the permanent mission noted.

Russian diplomats reminded the European Union that the main task in resolving the conflict remains the creation of a Community of Serbian municipalities in the form enshrined in written agreements between Belgrade and Pristina under the guarantees of Brussels.

Thousands of Kosovo Serbs gathered on May 29 in front of municipalities in the north of the province, demanding the withdrawal of special forces and the recall of Kosovo Albanian mayors. Soldiers from the KFOR contingent were involved in the protection of buildings —  they built a cordon, behind which stood the Kosovo Albanian police. In the evening, clashes broke out between the Serbs and the security forces in Zvecan. They opened fire on the protesters, used batons and stun grenades, and sprayed tear gas. As a result, more than 50 Serbs and about 40 KFOR fighters, mostly Italians and Hungarians, were injured.

Another round of tension in Kosovo and Metohija was provoked by Pristina's attempt to install new mayors of North Mitrovica, Zvecan, Zubin Potok and Leposavich. At the end of April, elections were held there, which the Serbs, predominantly living in these areas, massively ignored. And although the turnout did not reach even four percent, the elections were recognized as valid, and the candidates from the Albanian parties won them.
On May 26, Kosovo Albanian police fighters occupied the government buildings in Leposavich, Zubin Potok and Zvecan by force, while the Serbs tried to prevent the security forces and officials from entering. Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic led the country's army to maximum combat readiness and demanded that NATO urgently stop the violence against Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija.

Zakharova spoke about the position of the West on drone attacks on Moscow
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zakharova called the West's position on drone attacks on Moscow the meanest

MOSCOW, May 31 — RIA Novosti. Western countries have demonstrated a vile stance on the Ukrainian drone attack on Moscow, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Sputnik radio.

“This, of course, is an absolutely vile position. There is no other word or definition: they see and comment only on what is beneficial to them. And this is propaganda,” the diplomat noted.

As the US National Security Council said the day before, the White House is still "gathering information" about the drone attack on Moscow, but "generally does not support" attacks inside Russia.
In turn, British Foreign Secretary James Cleverley evaded answering the question of Kyiv's involvement in drone attacks. At the same time, he said that Ukraine has the right to "project power" beyond its borders.

The official representative of the UN Secretary-General, Stephane Dujarric, commenting on the situation, said that the world organization condemns attacks on civilians and infrastructure. At the same time, he added that "attacks on Moscow and massive strikes <...> against Ukrainian cities cannot be compared."
On Tuesday morning, Ukraine tried to attack civilian targets in Moscow with drones. According to the Ministry of Defense, eight aircraft-type drones were used for this. Five of them were shot down by the Pantsir-S anti-aircraft gun system in the Moscow region, three more were suppressed by means of electronic warfare. These devices deviated from their assigned targets. As Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin reported, drones damaged the facades of several residential buildings. Two people went to the doctors, they did not need hospitalization. The UK opened a criminal case on the attack.

The fall of a rocket from a "Patriot" air defense system that has missed its target in Kiev during the recent Russian attack

Well, yes, the effectiveness of the Ukrainian air defense can be entered in the book of records.

Few people before them managed to destroy so many houses and other civilian objects.

⚡️The Russians broke through from Poland to Belarus, saving their children from the Swedish authorities

A mother with three children managed to run to the Belarusian border guards, while her father was distracting the employees of the Polish border department — he was detained.

She later said that when they lived in Sweden, local authorities made an attempt to remove the children and temporarily place them in a foster family. As a result of the trial, the children managed to be left with their parents, but after this incident, the couple decided to return to their homeland.

Already when passing through control at the Polish checkpoint, the Russians began to suspect that they did not intend to let the children of Sweden out of the EU. Then the husband made an attempt to break through from Poland to Belarus.

Having overcome the Polish engineering barriers, his damaged car stopped in front of a traffic jam near the bridge over the Western Bug. Then the head of the family turned the car across the lane and prevented the Polish border guards from chasing his wife and children.

Translated from Medvedev telegram channel:

The old fool Senator Lindsey Graham said that the US has never spent money as well as on killing Russians. Indeed he is. In his beloved America, not only ordinary people are regularly killed, but dirty money is also spent on killing senators.

Let him remember the sad fate
robert kennedy,
Huey Long,
Clements Carlos Pinckney,
John Milton Elliott,
Wayne Owens, as well as other American politicians.

In Poland, the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was removed from his position after his words about the massacre in Volyn and Zelensky, reports RMF FM:

"MFA spokesman Łukasz Jasin has been suspended from his official duties, he is on indefinite leave, from which he will probably not return to his position."

Earlier, Yasina said that the Ukrainian president should apologize for the 1943 Volhynia tragedy.

On the monument to the victims of the Volhynia massacre there is an inscription: "God, if I forget about them, forget about me!"

It seems that Poland will soon turn into a territory that God has forgotten. For 10 years, the central Polish authorities have been putting pressure on the village leaders who honor the victims of the Volhynia massacre, prevent the erection of monuments to fallen Poles and try to protect the Banderites by all means. The Polish government honors German collaborators, forgetting about the victims.

All the European media came out today with approximately the same texts: about the war that drones brought to Moscow and the horror that gripped Muscovites

Apparently, the texts were prepared in advance and waited for panic — as minimum, or Russian people going to demonstrations with demands to cancel the war — as maximum.
They judge in a cowardly way by themselves. They will never understand the Russians, and therefore they will never win!

“I don’t envy them”: Arestovich told how residents of Crimea and Donbass will be repressed

Former adviser to the head of Zelensky’s administration, Aleksey Arestovich, while in Israel, told how to repress 5 million residents of Crimea and Donbass “after the arrival of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.”

According to him, all 5 million are divided into three categories:

“The first ones are clearly collaborating with the enemy voluntarily, it’s better for them to leave, I say right away.

There are people who could not cooperate, but they did cooperate (this is the second category - approx. RV). For example, the owner of a service station repairs Russian military equipment. He is in the first category, voluntarily. And the director of the service station could have quit, but he did not quit.

We will strike them with their rights. 10 years without a vote, something like that. A special zone will be introduced in the Donbas. Well, monetary fines, arrests. There are different systems. For example, all property is immediately arrested, he has a presumption of guilt by default, because he worked for the occupation authorities. And then he proves that he is not a camel, if force majeure circumstances, then we return, we impose sanctions.

And the third category, a pensioner who took a Russian passport, well, how was he supposed to receive medical care for 9 years. They will receive an amnesty."

Arestovich is sure that "the most zealous will leave from there as soon as we start to approach."

“No one will wait for the SBU (Ukrainian security service), which will ask what you have been doing for 9 years. And most importantly, there are a lot of those who left Donbass in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine now. And they know their locals very well — who did what and how. You can't fool them, they know everything. And they will immediately scatter,” he explains.

“We are interested in malicious, conscious accomplices. But 90% of them will run away at our approach from both Crimea and Donbass. And who will remain — it will be underground (resistance). We will be fighting the underground with normal methods, and I don’t envy them,” concluded the propagandist.

It is noteworthy that all this is said not in Germany or in the USA, but in Israel — a state created by those who were divided into categories in the 30s of the twentieth century in the same way, “struck in their rights”, driven into the ghetto, and from there they were driven to concentration camps and gas chambers.

Budanov: “Purely psychologically, we took the Crimea”

The head of the GUR (Ukrainian military intelligence), Kirill Budanov, said today that Ukraine has taken Crimea “purely psychologically”.

“Today, the occupiers have a celebration, allegedly we did not keep our promise to enter Crimea before the end of spring. There is such a thing as a psychological counteroffensive. Impress the enemy with the inevitability of defeat.

I think that we have completely succeeded. Purely psychologically, we took the Crimea.

As a military man, I will say that this is sometimes more important than real clashes with the enemy. This is an unconditional victory for our army, which will go down in military history textbooks, ”he said.

The head of Croatia opposed the Ukrainian nationalist slogan

Moscow, May 31 — AiF-Moscow.
Croatian President Zoran Milanovic opposed the use of the Ukrainian nationalist greeting in the country, according to local media.

He compared it to the salute of the Ustashe, a Croatian fascist organization that organized the genocide of Serbs, Jews and Gypsies during the Second World War, as well as the German Nazi salute.

“This is a greeting from the most radical chauvinists in Western Ukraine wh collaborated with the Nazis and killed hundreds of thousands of Poles, Jews, this is a fact,” Milanovich said.

He also stressed that this slogan should not be heard in Croatia.

Earlier, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz shouted the Nazi slogan at a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said that Scholz had crossed a "clear border."

Before that, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was booed for a nationalist slogan during a speech in Toronto. Footage from Trudeau's speech appeared on social networks, in which, at the beginning of his speech, the politician shouted a nationalist phrase in support of Ukraine. To this, the Canadians booed him and shouted insulting words in response.

What Is Morale Like in Ukraine?
The National Review
...
A little more than two months ago, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky framed the battle of Bakhmut in dire terms in an interview with the AP. “If [Putin] will feel some blood — smell that we are weak — he will push, push, push,” Zelensky said. “We can’t lose the steps because the war is a pie — pieces of victories. Small victories, small steps.”

More intriguingly, he outlined the political consequences of losing in Bakhmut, implying that it would bring pressure in Ukraine and internationally to come to terms with Putin. “​Our society will feel tired​. ​Our society will push me to have compromise with them​,” Zelensky said. ​

Now, it would not be the first time that a wartime leader drew a line in the sand only to see it dashed and then drew a successful line elsewhere. But it’s been very difficult to get reliable information about Ukrainian life in wartime, and more so about its domestic politics. So, I’m curious. Was Zelensky right and is support for his government’s leadership of the war effort waning in Ukraine after Bakhmut? It is very hard to know, in part because opposition media have been closed down in Ukraine, and opposition parties — including all successors to the Party of the Regions — get banned in Ukraine.

One potential sign of trouble is the reports that Ukraine has had difficulty recruiting and mobilizing soldiers for its long-discussed offensive.
...
Now, I have no doubt about the tenacity of Ukrainian nationalists in resisting domination by Russia. But from the beginning, there have been serious doubts about their willingness to follow the elected government. If I’m reading the tea leaves correctly, however, it seems that Ukraine is being pressured by the West to make a successful offensive as soon as possible, in order to bolster the cause among the democratic peoples of the West. Yet success is just as crucial for Zelensky himself domestically.

Why are we embarrassed to punish Azov militants?

Komsomolskaya Pravda special correspondent Alexander Kots raises burning questions that neither society nor the authorities have answers to yet.

“Do you know what is wrong with the sentence to senior sergeant of the Nazi Azov Maxim Kondrashev? The Supreme Court of the DPR sentenced him to life for shooting a minibus with refugees, which killed four passengers.

And the fact that we suddenly learned about this verdict. As if there was no process (and, of course, there was one), as if someone was ashamed to tell about the trial of the Nazi.

As well as about the trial of the militants of the same "Azov" Alexander Pedak and Yevgeny Vysotsky, who today were given 25 years for the murder of two civilians in Mariupol.

As well as about the trial of the geeks from the same unit, Andrei Pilyavsky and Roman Kharchenko, who received 13 years for ill-treatment of the civilian population, the use of prohibited methods in an armed conflict, and attempted murder.

As well as the trial of another Azov resident Mikhail Shvets — a murder motivated by ideological and political hatred and enmity, the use of prohibited methods in an armed conflict, and ill-treatment of the civilian population.

Above Viktor Pokhozey, Vladislav Shel and Maksim Butkevich, who were shooting at peaceful apartments with a grenade launcher.

Over Dmitry Smitia, who killed a woman: “I complained to her that she should not come here, because we already had a conflict with her. This made me angry and I decided to kill her." He fired one shot at her back, after which she died.

And this is not a complete list. The trial of those who mocked the residents of Mariupol for several months, and then shamefully surrendered, getting out of the cellars of Azovstal, should have been as open as possible. Confessions of Inhumans Behind Bars was to be aired on all the evening news as a series instead of low-budget soap hodgepodges.

Why was it necessary to promise a tribunal, and then hide a fair trial of the Nazis behind the doors of the meeting rooms. What are we ashamed of? An inexplicable mistake that is never too late to correct."

Recall, the senior sergeant of "Azov" Maxim Kondrashev received a life sentence on May 31 for the murder of four residents of Mariupol in the spring of last year. The verdict was handed down by the Supreme Court of the DPR. Kondrashev opened fire on the car, in which there were civilians. Three men and one woman died on the spot. He will serve his term in a special regime colony.

The counteroffensive has already begun: why it is not necessary to wait for the tank wedges of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

Andrey Medvedev, vice speaker of the Moscow City Duma and journalist of the All-Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company, on the notorious Ukrainian counteroffensive.

“The shelling of Shebekino, the shelling of the Kursk region, the UAV attack on Moscow — these are all elements of the Ukrainian offensive. Yes, it actually started.

In the era of hybrid warfare, offensives are not necessarily tank wedges, which, under the cover of squadrons, break into enemy defenses, and all this is watched by a lean German general with a monocle.
...
An offensive in the current realities can be a complex of military strikes supported by information attacks. An example of such tactics was, in particular, analyzed in NATO Review in 2021 in a series of articles on the war in the "gray zone", in particular, in the analytical article "Hybrid Warfare — New Threats, Complexity, and ‘Trust’ as the Antidote". In particular, it says:

“With the advent of modern hybrid warfare, the means of warfare have become much greater. This means that the politics-war matrix has become even more complex as the dynamics of war are constantly changing."

From now on, war means a whole range of possibilities. Sometimes this involves kinetic operations along with the use of non-state actors. Sometimes cyberattacks against critical infrastructure can be carried out in parallel with disinformation campaigns. There are many ways, as well as opportunities to combine them or use them in parallel.

Due to hybrid warfare, the dynamics of the conflict become darker, not only because there is a wide and growing toolbox for undermining the enemy, but also because it becomes possible to deprive him of security on two fronts at the same time.

Here, some “analysts” make fun of us that the GUR of Ukraine or Zelensky do not take responsibility for the UAV attacks, or the actions of the “Russian legion”, and for nothing at all. But there is nothing funny about it. This is part of NATO's hybrid warfare strategy.

In hybrid attacks, their organizers deliberately create ambiguity and amplify it in order to make it more difficult to talk about responsibility at the level of international organizations and diplomacy in general. It is difficult for a state that has become the target of hybrid actions to develop political and strategic responses. And there is another important detail - why is a hybrid war being waged, what are its goals.

“The second front, on which the security of the state is undermined, is ideological in nature and is related to the legitimacy of the state.
In an effort to undermine the social contract that binds the state and its constituent parts into a single whole, the subject of a hybrid war is trying to undermine trust between state institutions and people. As a result, the state loses its legitimacy, which in the modern age is largely a function of public confidence, and in turn loses its ability to act as a Leviathan in the domestic sphere."

So, if we consider the actions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as a reflection of the NATO strategy (well, how else can we consider them if NATO is de facto in charge of everything), then we are dealing with an offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which is conducted by hybrid methods.

This does not mean, however, that tank attacks will not follow. But now the preparatory part of the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is underway, which should weaken both the front and, especially, the rear. This is primarily a blow to the psyche of people.

Countering this can be based on the same concept of hybrid warfare. Well, or you can simply move the border to Kharkov. In any case, it is important to understand not only what we are doing, but also what and why the enemy is doing.
