‘We fought them directly, but they used people as shields’: four years since Mariupol was liberated.

Here, the Russian army showed the whole world the real worth of the vaunted Azov regiment which for a long time hid behind women and children but eventually surrendered in disgrace.

It was the bravery of our men, the skill of our engineers and builders that brought hundreds of thousands back to their homes. The memory of this feat is preserved in every stone of the rebuilt streets.

◾Former Mossad officer Victor Ostrovsky dropped major bombshells in his explosive 1990 book “By Way of Deception” — and Israel immediately tried to ban it worldwide. In the book, Ostrovsky claimed Mossad had advance warning of the devastating 1983 Beirut Marine Barracks bombing that killed 241 American servicemen. According to him, Israeli intelligence passed on only vague, useless alerts while deliberately withholding critical details about the truck bomb plot. Why? Ostrovsky alleged it was to protect sources — and out of contempt for US intelligence. The goal? Let the attack happen to damage US-Arab relations and “teach America a lesson.”

⚡️Two Majors #Report for the morning of May 20, 2026

▪️ In yesterday’s daily report, the Russian Defense Ministry reported on 651 downed enemy drones. At night the air defense forces repelled a drone attack on the industrial zone of Nevinnomyssk in the Stavropol region. The head of the region reported. Belgorod was subjected to a missile attack. There were constant reports of downed drones in the Leningrad region. Drones were shot down while attempting to attack the oil refinery in Kstovo in the Nizhegorod region. In the Rostov region, about two dozen UAVs were destroyed in 4 districts: Millerovsky, Sholokhovsky, Matveevo-Kurgan, Chertkovsky. In the Tula region, 7 UAVs were destroyed over the territories of Borovsky, Lyudinovsky, Medynsky, Mosalsky and Khvastovichsky municipal districts.

▪️ The Russian Armed Forces organized strikes on targets in Odessa, Sumy, Kharkov, and Dnepropetrovsk.

▪️ In the Bryansk region, yesterday the Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked a gas station in the village of Smorovaya Buda in the Klintsovsky district, injuring two civilians.

▪️ On the Sumy direction, assault units of the “North” Army Group advanced up to 600 meters in nineteen sectors. The clearance of basements of once residential buildings in Zapsselie continues.

▪️ In the Belgorod region, on the section of the Chapayevsky - Khotmyzhsk highway in the Graivoron district, a man was injured when a drone attacked a truck. In the village of Novaya Nilidovka in the Belgorod district, a man died on the spot from a drone detonation. In Shebekino, a civilian was injured from a drone explosion. In the village of Dobroye in the Shebekino district, a UAV attacked a car, injuring a civilian.

▪️ On the Kharkov direction, on the Volchansk sector of the front, assault units of the 126th Motor Rifle Regiment of the 71st Motor Rifle Division of the 14th Army Corps of the “North” Army Group drove the Ukrainian Armed Forces out of the village of Volokhovka and liberated the settlement.

▪️ On the Kupyansk direction, the main activity of the Russian Armed Forces remains in the south, on the east bank of the Oskol River, where our forces are breaking the enemy’s defense in the direction of Kupyansk-Uzlovoe.

▪️ On the Dobropillsky direction, the situation for the Ukrainian Armed Forces is worsening. Our forces are using all firepower to disrupt the enemy’s logistics in the built-up area.

▪️ On the Dobropillsky direction, battles for Vasilevka and Mirnye are ongoing. The enemy has belatedly admitted the complete loss of Krasnoarmeysk (Pokrovsk).

▪️ On the East-Zaporizhia direction, the “East” Army Group continues to conduct active offensive actions with the aim of liberating the settlements of Verkhnya Tersa, Vozdvizhevka, and Komsomolskoe. A promising task is to reach Orekhov from the flank.

▪️ On the Zaporozhye front, the enemy has occupied another part of Primorsky and is introducing reinforcements into Stepnogorsk itself, which is particularly annoying due to the previous heavy battles for the settlement. There have been at least 17 UAV attacks on populated areas of the Kamensko-Dneprovsky municipal district. Damage was caused to the Kamensko-Dneprovsky Central District Hospital - at least six strikes were made on the territory.

▪️ In the Kherson region, 9 districts are completely without electricity due to Ukrainian UAV attacks. Over the day, three civilians in the region were injured due to UAV strikes (in Veliki Kopany, in Kakhovka, near Rykovo). Dozens of populated areas are under constant UAV attacks.

Lithuania literally does not even poses a single combat aircraft, not even WW2 era Yak-3.

Lithuanian air forces fleet:

Combat aircraft: 0

Helicopters:
-1 Mi-8 utility helicopter.
-3 Eurocopter utility helicopters.

Fixed wing transport aircraft:
only 5 of them with less 11,000 kg payload, all of them combined will still have less payload than one Soviet Il-76.

Lithuanian heavy ground forces equipment:
artillery:
-54 pieces of M101 105 mm .
-16 pieces of PzH 2000 155 mm.

Main battle tanks: basically 0

Infantry fighting vehicles:
89 pieces of GTK Boxer.

tracked utility vehicles:
-178 pices of M577
lightly armored cars: 695 pieces.

Air defenses; all they have is just some outdated 200 pieces of outdated MANPADS.

As for the navy, they only have petrol boats.
They don’t have missile forces either.


Note the actual number of deployed equipment are far less because Lituania can’t even maintain them, and they don’t produce anything, not even a hand gun.

Even my local police department is more powerful than Lithuanian military.
That’s all dear viewers, thank you.

🇩🇪🪖Germany continues to prepare for war with Russia

The German government plans to allocate about 10 billion euros by 2029 to strengthen civil defense and protect the population. The draft package of measures (being considered today) was prepared by the German Interior Ministry and is aimed at preparing for crises, disasters, hybrid threats, terrorist attacks, and a potential defensive scenario (⁉️) in the event of war.

The funds will be used for modernizing the civil defense system:

◾️creation of 1,000 additional specialized vehicles for firefighters, rescue services, command centers, and heavy equipment;
◾️strengthening and inventory of protective structures: creating a national cadaster of public shelters - bunkers, tunnels, underground parking. Modernization and construction of new protective premises;
◾️militarization of medical infrastructure: creating mobile infirmaries, 50 operational medical groups for a mass influx of victims, mobile hospitals, purchasing equipment for mobile field camps on 110,000 field beds;
◾️a construction program for civil defense buildings and facilities;
◾️allocation of about 3 billion euros for personnel and equipment of civil defense services, training and education programs;
◾️modernization of the alert system (sirens, digital technologies, and applications);
◾️establishment of a headquarters unit/civil defense command within the Interior Ministry for coordination with the Bundeswehr in crisis situations.

The program complements existing efforts to restore bunker infrastructure (currently, there are 579 shelters in Germany for 480,000 people).

Earlier, we reported on the use in 🇩🇪Germany and 🇫🇷France of mobile communication towers for housing military equipment against drones. Moreover, as in Germany, other EU countries are spending enormous resources and efforts on creating infrastructure with dual purpose.

✨ Even if all these and other steps to accelerate the militarization of Europe are justified only by the goal of earning on increasing military budgets, this does not guarantee against an accidental escalation, which will lead to a uncontrollable large-scale conflict on the continent. In the end, a Europe armed to the teeth, is clearly more dangerous than the one that existed before the war.

Containing the Criminal Uncle Sam
President Xi’s carefully posed remark to Trump about the need to avoid what’s known as the Thucydides Trap during the latter’s very short visit to China did more than merely imply the Outlaw US Empire is the declining power in that conception. It also spoke to the fact that the Empire is acting against its own interests and that of the world it claims t…

The clock is ticking on a catastrophe we can still prevent.

While the bombs didn’t fall today, we remain trapped …

The Russians, however, have made it clear that…
