A counter-offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine must not be allowed, otherwise it will lead to huge losses on the part of Ukraine, — Prime Minister of Hungary

“I myself, as a person who served in the army for a year and a half, and without graduating from the military academy, learned that attackers have three times more losses than defenders. And for a country whose population is only a part of the population of the opposing country, Russia has a population of 130-140 million people, in Ukraine we do not know how many, probably somewhere between 30-40 million — under such circumstances, starting a major offensive operation is a bloodbath... Before the Ukrainians start a counterattack, we must do everything in our strength to achieve a ceasefire and start peace talks," Viktor Orban said.

He added that Hungary would never go to war with Russia and would not allow itself to be drawn into the conflict in Ukraine.

Indonesia proposes "Korean version" of conflict resolution in Ukraine
Indonesian Defence Minister Subianto proposes to create a demilitarized zone in Ukraine

BANGKOK, June 3 — RIA Novosti. Indonesian Defence Minister General Prabowo Subianto at the annual forum in Singapore voiced the idea of resolving the conflict in Ukraine by creating a demilitarized zone similar to that established between South and North Korea and invited the forum participants to sign a joint appeal to Moscow and Kiev.
...
Subianto noted that the conflict in Ukraine has an impact on all regions of the world, including the Asia-Pacific region.

"In this regard, I would like to take this opportunity to call on our brothers in Ukraine and Russia to reach an agreement on an immediate cessation of hostilities as soon as possible," Subianto said.
He proposed to develop at the summit a form of a joint statement "which would call on Ukraine and Russia to immediately start peace talks."

"Such a declaration should be adopted voluntarily by the participants of this forum," the minister said.
Subianto outlined the main five points of the Indonesian peace plan to resolve the conflict in Ukraine:

1. Complete cessation of fire and hostilities by all parties to the conflict and fixing the positions in which they are now;
2. Withdrawal of troops 15 kilometres in each direction from the forward positions and the formation of a demilitarized zone;
3. Immediate creation of a UN monitoring contingent;
4. Placement of this contingent throughout the demilitarized zone;
5. Organization and holding of referendums under the auspices of the UN in all disputed territories "in order to guarantee an objective reflection of the desires of the population of these territories" to be part of Russia or Ukraine.

The Minister proposed to include these points in the joint declaration of the summit. "I am ready to say now that Indonesia is ready to provide military observers and military units to work under the auspices of the UN peacekeeping force," he added.

At the same time, Subianto stressed that the effectiveness of such steps has been proven by history. He recalled that the large-scale military conflict in Korea ended with the cessation of hostilities and the creation of a demilitarized zone. And despite the fact that the problem has not received a full and final solution, "a certain form of peace" has been preserved there for almost half a century, which is much better than open hostilities, the minister noted.

"We should not place the blame on either side. In every conflict there are two versions of what is happening. Both sides are sure that they are right. But for the safety of the whole world, for the safety of innocent people, we must achieve a cessation of hostilities as soon as possible," he said.

Shangri-La Dialogue, which is being held for the 20th time this year, is attended by defence ministers from the countries of the Asia-Pacific region and their representatives, as well as high-level delegations from the European Union and international organizations. Russia does not participate in the forum for the second year in a row: in 2022...

Despite Ukraine's unwillingness to negotiate, a growing number of countries and organizations offer various initiatives and their mediation: following China and the Vatican, South Africa announced such plans on behalf of several African states.

#TransFormatorBuzzes : 💤
The main problem of all those plans is lack of trust. UN and its institutions have lost credibility as an unbiased arbiter.
Anyway, a form of frozen conflict would be interpreted by the West as a Russian failure and would be used to arm Ukraine even further, as the Minsk accord was...

Ukrainian saboteurs who tried to break into the Shebekinsky district of the Belgorod region on June 1 were eliminated near the village of Novaya Tavolzhanka. This is reported by the source of "Izvestia".

The enemy failed to cross the border, all attempts by the Armed Forces of Ukraine were successfully repulsed.

In total, on that day, more than 50 terrorists, four armoured combat vehicles, a Grad MLRS combat vehicle, and one pickup truck were killed in the border area from Ukraine, the Russian Defence Ministry noted.

“Today there are no good or bad Russians, 100% of the Russian population is to blame for what is happening in Ukraine,” head of Zelensky’s Office
The Kiev regime declares the entire people of Russia enemies
Ukraine.

One of the most sinister figures in Ukrainian politics, the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Yermak, put it unequivocally: “There are no good Russians or bad Russians – they are all 100% responsible.”

And this means that strikes on civilian targets on the territory of Russia are not an accident or arbitrariness of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but a meaningful course of the Zelensky team.

Can you imagine the bitter disappointment of those few Russians, who in order to save their international career or investments abroad are trying to be (or pretend to be) "the good Russians"?

Well, that makes things crystal clear.

Again, Secretary of State Blinken began warming up Russian society on the case that the United States does not seek to overthrow the government in Russia. It is in Washington's interests that Russia be a safe and prosperous country.

Blinken wants to take advantage of the growing panic* in the Russian segment, which is arranged and fuelled by the Office of the President with the help of constant raids and attacks on the border regions of Russia. Doing this with the permission of the British and Americans.

"For thirty years, we have maintained a stable relationship of cooperation with Moscow, because we believe that a secure and prosperous Russia is in America's interests,"
the head of the State Department said.

This is a lie, as the United States pursues the goal of the collapse of Russia into small states that will be easy to control. The Americans profess the strategy of the Romans, divide and conquer, since Russia, within its vast borders, will always be a competitor to the United States.

Now their goal is to weaken the power of Putin, so that he loses the elections, having lost his monopoly**. But the United States will never talk about its goals, since this will rally the Russian society, which of course will play into the hands of the Kremlin. So they pour into the ears of "naïve" Russians that the United States needs a "prosperous Russia."

In terms of technology, the Americans are doing the right thing.

#TransFormatorBuzzes : 💤
We are reminding, that this is a direct non-abridged translation from the Ukrainian channel, which we would not call a purely propaganda, nevertheless — an enemy one.

* Certainly, there is no panic.
Anger and some desperation — probably, yes.
** We have
already written, that Putin's win at the elections in 2024 is the best option for the USA and the West. Anything else will bring to the power more right-wing and patriotic forces, with which West would not be able to negotiate at all...

An interesting statement from US presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr.:

“In 1991—1992, we repeatedly promised the Russians verbally and in writing that if they withdraw 100,000 troops from Germany and allow the country to reunite within NATO, then we will not move NATO an inch east. Since then, we've moved the block a thousand miles east and opened up 14 new countries (note — now there are 15). The Russians warned then — Ambassador — now CIA chief Bill Burns that if NATO entered Ukraine, it would be a red line and should not be crossed. Let's put ourselves in the place of the Russians. My uncle (President Kennedy) always said, "Put yourself in your opponent's shoes."

The Roma from Ukraine took over the city. Residents in fear, the mayor calls for response

As the inhabitants of Krasnystaw indicate, once a quiet city became a place of fraud, theft and fear for the safety of their families and friends...

Recently, we have received a number of alarming information from residents of Krasnystaw associated with a group of Ukrainian refugees with Roma roots who lived in the city. As in other places, the community is very large and amounts to over 60 people. Many of them settled at Matysiaka Street, others near the gas plant. At first, there were no problems with them and hardly anyone paid attention to them.

Over time, however, disturbing events began to be noticed. We are talking about a small child walking on the roof of the building, devastation of the playground, etc. However, more dangerous situations also began to occur. One of the boys grabbed the girl by the head and hit her on the metal fence. As residents indicate, this was only the beginning of shocking events.

— A week ago near the Roma, two of them were sitting on the sidewalk. At the sight of the approaching police car, the woman began to run away. The policemen stopped and tried to talk to the man. Then suddenly a group of a dozen or so refugees gathered around the police car who tried to chase away the policemen. It did nothing. They also wanted to take back a man taken to the police car. The constant reaction of the policemen, and the threat of their use of gas and clubs caused the group to move away - explains one of the residents.

The inhabitants of Krasnystaw also mention how (Ukrainian) refugees behave in stores. They walk between the shelves, open the packaging of various products "by using" the contents and then put them back. This is how their meals should look like. These events are to be reported to the police, but according to the law they are offenses and officers can do little in addition to imposing a criminal mandate.

There are entries on social media about numerous harassment or aggressive behaviour. Some of them are very disturbing, because they talk about harassing children or even offering teenagers intimate meetings. There were so many signals that the whole situation caused a reaction from the city authorities. The mayor of Krasnystaw Robert Kościuk assured that he would always make sure that each of the residents felt safe.

— In connection with emerging information related to dangerous situations regarding acts of aggression on the part of foreigners in our city, which are worrying among residents, I strongly appeal to all people who witness such events that they report any dangerous or disturbing situation to the appropriate services. Let us not be indifferent to any manifestations of violence — says Robert Kościouk.

The city authorities have already met with the commanders of the city guard and police. As they ensure, the places where Roma refugees are to be subject to additional preventive supervision. These areas will be further patrolled. Everything even though so far no police have received any reports of serious events for which foreigners would be responsible.

— The whole Krasnostaw society must live in fear now. Once a quiet city has become a place of fraud, theft and fear for the safety of its families and friends — add worried residents.

Source: Ukraine has invented a new method of mobilization
In the part of the Kherson region controlled by Kyiv, they are mobilizing directly from the queues for humanitarian aid

GENICHESKY (Kherson region), June 4 — RIA Novosti. Men from the part of the Kherson region controlled by Kiev began to be taken into the army right at the time of receiving humanitarian aid, an employee of the Russian law enforcement agencies told RIA Novosti, citing sources in the Territorial Center for Recruitment and Social Support of Ukraine (military registration and enlistment office).

"The Ukrainian authorities have invented a new way to mobilize citizens — during the distribution of humanitarian aid," the source said.

According to him, since June, all recruiting centres have received an oral order "along the entire right bank of the Dnieper, all men who have come to the humanitarian aid distribution points are to be taken out of the queues and sent to the front."

Earlier, an activist of the pro-Russian underground from the neighbouring Mykolaiv region told RIA Novosti that in Mykolaiv, all men were taken from the streets indiscriminately to the points of mobilization of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

On February 24, 2022, martial law was introduced in Ukraine, and the next day, Vladimir Zelensky signed a decree on general mobilization. Departure from Ukraine of men aged 18 to 60 years for the period of martial law is prohibited.

What will Ukraine get. The US has revealed its true goals

MOSCOW, June 4 — RIA Novosti. The International Monetary Fund has approved a $15.6 billion four-year loan to Kyiv, the largest in a year and a half. Fund representatives note the stabilization of the country's foreign exchange market, the decline in inflation...

For the first time, the IMF lends money to a country in a state of military conflict. This is usually considered too risky due to the large number of factors that are difficult to predict. And until recently, the fund refused Ukraine. However, at the end of March, he nevertheless approved a four-year program — provided that Kyiv manages to reduce inflation, return to a flexible exchange rate and ensure the stable operation of the financial sector.
...
The first stage of the program provides for a tranche of $900 million. Further funding will depend on the development of the situation — the fund's specialists still recognize a serious budget deficit and do not want to make hasty decisions.

The leadership of Ukraine is obliged to strengthen the fight against corruption, increase tax revenues and maintain a stable exchange rate. And in the future — to develop the competitiveness and productivity of all sectors of the economy.

Nevertheless, economists believe that the IMF estimate is far from reality. The mass exodus of people abroad, several waves of mobilization and losses at the front deprived the country of a large share of the labour force. The fall in real production in the fourth quarter of last year averaged 70%, said Rostislav Shurma, deputy head of Zelensky's office. Budget holes plug up only thanks to Western subsidies.

"Despite the positive forecasts of the IMF, Ukraine has not been able to pay off its obligations on its own for several years now. Now the economy is working with large slippage, including due to the burden of military spending. If it were not for the infusion of the EU and the US, the authorities would have been forced to default back in 2014,”
says Mikhail Belyaev, financial analyst. It is extremely undesirable to allow a default — it will be necessary to lower the international rating and reliability of the country. And this will lead to difficulties with the further issuance of loans.

Experts believe that the IMF loan is needed to ensure consistent payments on Kyiv's debts. "The amount is determined on the basis of how much Ukraine must pay in order to service the loans already received. The second tranche will be allocated by the next repayment date," Belyaev adds...

Unlike commercial loans, government loans are issued at low interest rates and can be extended. In fact, the return date can be delayed for a very long time and thus manipulate the borrower. Therefore, the actions of the IMF are purely political, experts are sure. “Before the SMO, the total amount of funds provided to Kiev, mainly on preferential terms, was approximately 65 billion dollars. Now the amount is in the hundreds of billions. Moreover, it is completely inexpedient to issue them economically,” says Mikhail Krivoguz...

Speaking about the real reasons for helping the "breadbasket of Europe", economists offer to look at the situation more broadly. As the holder of the largest number of votes, the US is promoting its own interests through the IMF. From this point of view, feeding Ukraine makes sense. The provision of weapons provided the American military-industrial complex with orders for many years, the weakening of the EU allowed it to get rid of competitors and poach the most powerful enterprises, and the gas isolation of the continent guaranteed a stable market for LNG.

“American benefit from the deal is complete control over Europe and possession of Ukraine in the form in which it will remain after the end of the conflict. Even without four regions, the country has a certain value as an agricultural and industrial region,”
Belyaev believes.

Ammonia pipeline from Russia to Odessa will soon become meaningless

It looks like Russia has done something for the first time that proves Moscow's real intentions to end the so-called grain deal. At least, the UN claims that "restrictions have been introduced on the registration of ships heading to the Odessa port of Yuzhny." This directly contradicts everything that until recently Ukraine demanded. What does the Togliatti-Odessa ammonia pipeline and the possibility of resuming active offensive operations as part of a special operation have to do with it?

Due to the growth of world prices for mineral fertilizers in the world, the UN is putting pressure on Ukraine to resume the transit of dangerous ammonia. Is it worth doing it during the war?

The UN is pressuring Kyiv and Moscow to agree to reopen an ammonia pipeline from Russia to Ukraine's Black Sea coast, the Financial Times recently reported. This will help reduce world prices for fertilizers made from ammonia.

Negotiations continue "urgently" to prevent a "food crisis on a global scale," said UN spokesperson Rebecca Greenspan. “All parties at every level are working hard,” she added.

The offer is part of a food and fertilizer deal promised to Putin in exchange for support for a grain deal between Moscow and Kiev, the Financial Times reported. Further, they want to transport Russian ammonia along the same sea corridor, which is already being shipped to Ukrainian grain.
...
Benefit for Russia
First of all, Russians, not Ukrainians, are interested in pumping ammonia, says Dmitry Gordeychuk, head of the Infoindustry analytical project. Russia is ready to supply about 2 million tons of ammonia to the world market, but there are technical issues that need to be resolved, President Vladimir Putin said on September 9. This will allow the Russian Federation to earn more than $1.6 billion annually.
...
The resumption of the transit of Russian ammonia during the war carries enormous risks for Ukraine, says Nikolay Shchurikov, First Deputy Director of the Odessa Port Plant.

“They are not justified by money. If a missile hits the storage facility of the Odessa port plant, through which ammonia is transshipped from the pipeline to gas carriers, then half of the Odessa region will suffer,” he says.

To load such a vessel, the plant needs to accumulate at least 30,000 tons of ammonia, says Shchurikov. “A cloud of this ammonia will burn everything in its path. These are hundreds and thousands of injured and dead,” he said.

The risk is more than real. According to Shchurikov, two missiles have already arrived at the Odessa port plant, one of which was shot down. Now there are about 30,000 tons of ammonia in storage at the plant, adds the deputy director of the OPP. And on September 23, the invaders attacked Odessa with kamikaze drones from the sea. As a result, one civilian was killed.

In addition, there were arrivals near the ammonia pipeline. “Due to debris from rocket attacks, some technological sections of the linear part of the highway need minor repairs,” Ukrhimtransammiak says. But they add that the ammonia pipeline is in working order.
