🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦Ramzan Kadyrov says Chechen forces will replace Wagner in Bakhmut

Ramzan Kadyrov statement:

"I am addressing Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces and creator of the Wagner PMC.

It is unpleasant for me, as for everyone who is not indifferent to the fate of our country, to hear the latest statements of Yevgeny Viktorovich, and it is doubly unpleasant that the leadership of the Russian Ministry of Defense does not comment or does not meet with the leadership of the Wagner PMC to make any decision or clarification. After all, Prigozhin deserves respect for the invaluable contribution of the Wagnerites to the liberation of the cities of Donbass. If there is a shortage, then it is necessary to explain, show, on the basis of which the commanders will at least correct the further tactics of the Wagner units, not relying on artillery.

I recall the experience of the Chechen units in Mariupol. When it took five tanks from the Ministry of Defense to support the infantry, we were able to provide only one, the combat crew of which left the vehicle in the very first battle. Then the tankers had to be calmed down, set up for battle and put back into the combat vehicle so that they would cover at least one position of the Azov Satanists with volleys. There were also problems with other equipment. Since the beginning of the SMO, we could not replace 30 artillery guns. I personally called Moscow, talked to the commanders, commanders, superiors. A month later the problem was solved. Yes, it didn't work on the first call. But our units did not record videos, they did not give a pleasant informational occasion to the enemy.

... By the way, filming the bodies of dead comrades for the sake of public outcry ... is wrong. Let's never do that...

In the zone of responsibility, for example, Apti Alaudinov, my dear brother, the commander of the Akhmat special forces, the deputy commander of the 2nd Army Corps of the RF Armed Forces, more than a hundred kilometers of the line of contact with the enemy. Not a day goes by that he doesn't have problems. But not once did Apti Aronovich[Alaudinov] declare this publicly via the Internet, but only through internal communication with the leadership. I note that the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff, with rare exceptions, have always met the Chechen units and helped. And misunderstandings are always present in ordinary civilian life, not to mention the war, where there is ALWAYS not enough ammunition! I really hope that Sergei Kuzhugetovich[Shoigu] will listen to my call and an order will be given to the General Staff to go to the place and sort things out. This is the only and soldierly correct way out of the situation.

Chechen units fought side by side with the Wagner in the most difficult areas in Popasnaya, Severodonetsk, Lisichansk and other settlements of Donbass. Together they performed a sacred duty to the Motherland without division into nationalities or faith. The interests of the state and the security of the country must come first. And when the SMO ends, I would like all of us to be winners, every fighter, every commander, every Russian patriot. Together.

Yes, if older brother Prigozhin and "Wagner" leave, then the General Staff will lose an experienced combat unit, and his younger brother Kadyrov and "Akhmat" will come to his place in Artyomovsk[Bakhmut]. If the scenario is still like this, then our fighters are ready to advance and occupy the city. It's a matter of hours. But I would like us to take the remaining two kilometers of the city not at the cost of the lives of soldiers, but as a result of mutual understanding, support, determination of the command and fighters to fulfill the order of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of Russia Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin."

Ukrainian propaganda channel states that this footage is from Artemovsk/Bakhmut. It does not look to me, that there is an ammunition shortage.

Russian paratroopers advance meter by meter in the vicinity of Bakhmut, blocking the approaches of enemy reserves

Now the situation in the Bakhmut region remains extremely tense.

It is here that the Russian troops, together with the Wagner volunteers, continue to methodically knock the enemy out of the urban area.

According to @news_1tv, artillery in Bakhmut does not stop for a minute — the rumble of guns sounds around the clock.

Everything is used here - mortars, grenade launchers, captured weapons supplied by NATO countries.

“I would like the artillery to work more. Every artillery shot is the saved life of our guys,” the fighters say.

But even despite the difficulties, the troops are moving forward. The enemy, deprived of the opportunity to bring reinforcements along the "road of life", slowly retreats.

Russian paratroopers, in parallel, continue to block the approaches of the reserves of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to Bakhmut.

Russia’s jamming of US-provided rocket systems complicates Ukraine’s war effort

CNN
Russia has been thwarting US-made mobile rocket systems in Ukraine more frequently in recent months, using electronic jammers to throw off its GPS guided targeting system to cause rockets to miss their targets, multiple people briefed on the matter told CNN.
...
The medium-range rocket systems were hailed as a game changer in the conflict and have played a key role since the moment they arrived in Ukraine last summer, including in last year’s offensive that allowed Ukraine to take back significant swaths of territory from Russia.

But in recent months, the systems have been rendered increasingly less effective by the Russians’ intensive blocking, five US, British and Ukrainian sources tell CNN, forcing US and Ukrainian officials to find ways to tweak the HIMARS’ software to counter the evolving Russian jamming efforts.

Berlin lifted the ban on the flag of Ukraine on May 9, but left it on the Russian and Soviet

BERLIN, May 6 — RIA Novosti. The administrative court of Berlin lifted the ban on wearing the Ukrainian flag at Soviet memorials on May 8 and 9, while leaving restrictions on the Russian and Soviet flags, Patrick Heinemann, a lawyer, said on Twitter.
Earlier, the Berlin police reported that in the German capital for the second year in a row on May 8 and 9, in order to avoid conflicts, there would be a ban on wearing flags and symbols of Russia, Ukraine and the USSR at Soviet memorials, which, however, does not apply to diplomats and veterans.

“It was possible to prove the illegality of the ban on the flags of Ukraine by the Berlin police on May 8 and 9,” wrote Heinemann, who had previously filed a lawsuit against the police decision to ban.
Several pro-Ukrainian movements in Germany and the metropolitan media also report success in court.
The federal state of Berlin can appeal this decision to the highest administrative court.

Among the largest economies, only China had a lower figure, where it fell from 15.4 percent to 13.7 percent over the year. India follows with an external debt of 19.1 percent of GDP.

The highest level of external debt was observed in European economies: in the Netherlands — 380.5 percent of GDP, in the UK — 287 percent, and in Switzerland — 280.5 percent. Moreover, in these countries, the indicator decreased over the year — by 14.29 and 16 percentage points, respectively.
In fourth place is France, where the external debt is 249 percent of GDP, in fifth is Belgium (242 percent). The top ten also includes Spain (179 percent), Sweden (170 percent), Germany (159 percent), Norway (132 percent) and Italy (131 percent).
In total, the level of debt to non-residents, compared to GDP, increased only in five of the 25 countries studied, most of all in Japan (by 10 percentage points, up to 104 percent).
At the same time, in absolute terms, seven countries increased their external debt: Norway, the United States and South Korea (by five percent), Turkey (4.5 percent), Argentina (three percent), Brazil (two percent) and Poland (one percent) .

The first branch of Sberbank opened in Crimea

YALTA, May 6 — RIA Novosti. The first branch of Sberbank opened in Crimea, RIA Novosti correspondent reports.
The two-storey office is located in Yalta, on Sovetskaya Square. Nearby is the building of the city council and administration, a cinema and a shopping centre. The square has recently completed a large-scale reconstruction.
"I am sure that these are new opportunities for individuals and legal entities. For Russian citizens who come for holidays. The team is systemic, capable of performing the assigned tasks," said the head of the Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, at the opening ceremony of the office.
Deputy Chairman of the Board of Sberbank Stanislav Kuznetsov called the office in Yalta unique.

"It was designed for the first time, it was made in Omsk, it was brought here by car — it is a modular design. And in fact, it was assembled in a few days. It is very comfortable, a really good team works in it," he said.
Sberbank in January announced the start of work in the Crimea. About 30 ATMs have already been installed on the peninsula, and by the tourist season their number is planned to be increased to 80. According to Aksenov, bank branches will also appear in Simferopol, Kerch, Evpatoria and other cities. In Sevastopol, according to Governor Mikhail Razvozhaev, they are also preparing to open a stationary office.
In addition, the bank promises to deploy all necessary services in Crimea by the end of the year.

#TransFormatorBuzzes : 💤
Since 2014 Sberbank was not operating in Crimea because of the risk of being sanctioned. However, they have got sanctioned anyway in April 2022. So, now to the advantages of the Crimean population and the tourists, they are opening their branches... Another positive outcome of the Western sanctions.

Whatever the situation with the shells is, "musicians" certainly deserve right for some rest and "rotation".
