Сегодня фанерный начальник Генштаба ВС РФ Герасимов заявил о якобы «85% контроля» над Лиманом. В реальности Россия не контролирует даже 5% города.

Теперь российскому командованию придётся любой ценой доказывать собственную пропаганду: штурмовать восточные окраины, бросать пехоту и пытаться снять кадры с флагами.

Для ВСУ это выгодно. Когда противник действует ради картинки, а не ради тактики — его действия становятся максимально предсказуемыми. Когда противник действует предсказуемо и бросает пехоту в мясные штурмы ради пропаганды — его проще перемалывать артиллерией, дронами и заранее подготовленной обороной.

Ukrainian-Russian war. Day 1539-1542: 🇺🇦🇷🇺
Situation on Vilkhuvatska & Dvorichanska fronts: During the last five weeks, Ukrainian army has continued to launch successful counter-attacks in the Kolodeznensky district, managing to recapture the locality of Odradne and a number of wooded areas adjacent to the border.

U.S. Army Chief of Staff General Christopher Laniv* confirmed the cancellation of the deployment to Poland of the 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team of the U.S. 1st Cavalry Division, numbering 4,000 troops.

*Christopher Laniv replaced Randy George in this position after George was dismissed in April, which caused a conflict between Army Secretary Dan Driscoll and Pete Hegseth — Driscoll had supported the dismissed George.

Laniv said that the Pentagon had issued instructions to reduce troop numbers in Europe, and together with NATO’s command in Europe they determined that the most optimal decision would be to cancel the previously planned brigade deployment, rather than withdraw units that are already deployed.**

**As a reminder, Congress prohibited the White House — and Trump signed this into law — from reducing the U.S. presence in Europe below 76,000 troops for more than 45 days.

So, this is already the third American unit affected by Trump’s decision to reduce troop numbers in Europe. And for the first time, this has affected Poland.

The full list:

▪️2nd Cavalry Regiment, V Corps; 5,000 troops; planned withdrawal from Grafenwöhr, Germany;

▪️An unnamed long-range fires battalion armed with Tomahawks; deployment to Germany canceled;

▪️2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division; 4,000 troops; deployment to Poland canceled.

The decision to cancel the deployment of 4,000 troops to Poland, just like the earlier decision to withdraw 5,000 troops from Germany, was made spontaneously, the Associated Press reports.

Many of the service members had already arrived in Poland, and many others had already packed their bags and were preparing to head to the airport. The brigade’s equipment was already in European ports, awaiting deployment.

Around 10,000 American troops are currently deployed in Poland.

What can one say here…

Nawrocki’s excellent relationship with Trump did not help.

Poland’s highest defense spending among all NATO members — 4.7% of GDP — did not help.

The fact that Poland had no conflicts with Trump over Iran did not help.

They just decided it this way.

Europe needs to prepare for the fact that it may have to defend itself against Russia without U.S. help. It can only count on itself.

🇺🇸🛢️ The Trump administration allowed a waiver that encouraged more Russian crude sales to lapse, ending a brief period where the administration eased sanctions on some Russian oil, - Bloomberg

The administration's decision may be revisited, as lobbying from Asian allies and tightness in the oil market could still prompt the administration to issue a new waiver later.

🚫 Zelensky: Without Western components, Russia would not be able to produce missiles.

Zelensky said that the missiles with which the Russian Federation attacked Kyiv on May 14 were manufactured in 2026 - from components of companies from Europe, Japan and the US.

According to the president, the most effective way to put pressure on Moscow is to block all supply channels for parts for Russian missiles and drones and tighten sanctions.
