MOSCOW THREATENS STRIKE ON KYIV IF UKRAINE VIOLATES CEASEFIRE
Telegram - Two Majors - English Channel - 2026-05-06
⚡️Two Majors #Report for the morning of May 6, 2026
▪️Talks about a truce from Zelensky (supposedly due to start that night) were dashed by Kiev’s drone attack on Dzhankoy in Crimea, killing 5 people. The peninsula repelled the attack alongside the hero city of Sevastopol, where 14 UAVs were shot down. 38 drones were shot down over the Kherson region.
▪️An attack on Cheboksary last night also claimed civilian lives, and the enemy reported the destruction of a military plant. In the Leningrad region - of an industrial enterprise. The problem of the enemy’s long-range drones will only intensify, and simple solutions like MOGs in view of drone control via satellite communication (not just Starlink) are not always effective anymore. Moreover, British FP-5 missiles have proven their effectiveness.
▪️Russia announced a truce later, from May 8, so it did not hold back in its strikes on Dnepropetrovsk and the ports of Odessa.
▪️In the Bryansk region, the Armed Forces of Ukraine used MLRS Grad to strike at civilians in the Belaya Berezka settlement of the Trubchevsky district. Five people were injured, including one child. In the Aleynikovo settlement of the Starodubsky district, an FPV drone killed a member of the territorial defense of the State Unitary Enterprise “Center for Special Operations” of the Bryansk region.
▪️In the Sumy region, the Army Group “North” assault units advanced up to 550 meters on fifteen sections. Skirmishes continue in Kondratovka and the surrounding areas of the settlement. A counterattack on Miropelevo was repelled.
▪️In the Kursk region, a Ukrainian drone attacked a gas station in the city of Lgov, injuring two civilians.
▪️In the Belgorod region, near the Dmitrievka village of the Shebekinsky district, a drone detonated near a group of children. A 14-year-old girl suffered a mine-explosion injury and a barotrauma. In the Laptevka settlement of the Rakityansky district, a tractor working in the field was attacked by an FPV drone, killing the tractor driver. Belgorod was attacked by two UAF drones, injuring two civilians, including an 11-year-old child.
▪️ On the Kharkov direction, the Army Group “North” reports advancing up to 400 meters in the Vovchansk sector. Stubborn small-arms fighting continues in the forests of Vovchansk district along the right bank of the Vovcha River, as well as in Chaikovka.
▪️ In Konstantinovka, our forces are engaged in heavy fighting. The enemy is attempting counterattacks; intense clash engagements are underway. In the Chasov Yar area, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are also attacking.
▪️On the Kupyansk direction, battles are ongoing in the city and in the south of the direction. On the Velikoburlyuk direction, our assault units advanced up to 200 meters in the northwest of the Kupyansk district, but this is again to the rescue of the Army Group “North”, stretching the enemy’s reserves.
▪️The Zaporozhye front and the Kherson region - no changes. Positional battles are ongoing, the Army Group “East” is creating conditions for further work on the Dnipropetrovsk direction and west of Gulyaypole. The enemy is launching attacks on energy and civilian targets.

Ukrainian officials believe that “Ukraine won’t be able to hold out for even a day or two without international support”.
This was reported by Foreign Policy magazine, citing European sources. However, this view is not shared in Europe itself.
Nevertheless, due to the war in Iran, Kyiv has started facing problems with arms supplies.
The key uncertainty now remains the missiles for the Patriot systems.
“Everything will depend on the situation around Iran,” noted one European diplomat. Another diplomat said that the US has assured partners of arms supplies already paid for under the PURL program. However, there is still “no great certainty” about future packages.
Another high-ranking European diplomat expressed doubt that new supplies would be agreed upon, given the US’s own need for weapons.
The sources also point out that supplies to Ukraine could be used by Washington as a tool to pressure Europe on the issue of the Strait of Hormuz.
At the same time, some European officials believe that Washington will not abandon the current funding scheme for Kyiv. “I think President Trump likes PURL,” said one diplomat (referring to the mechanism where Europeans pay for American weapons for Ukraine).

🇹🇷🚩 Turkey’s first intercontinental ballistic missile
At the SAHA EXPO 2026 exhibition in Istanbul, Turkey officially unveiled its first prototype of an intercontinental ballistic missile - Yildirimhan.
Declared technical characteristics:
▪️Range: 6,000 km
▪️Speed: 9-25 Mach
▪️Engines: 4 liquid rocket engines fueled with dinitrogen tetroxide (N₂O₄)
▪️Warhead: 3,000 kg
✨ For now, this is more of a political ambition of the NATO country, as there have been no official tests, and any figures in the technical characteristics can be made up.
📌 What’s more significant here is the readiness to use this weapon as intended:
“We now have the country’s first hypersonic liquid-fueled missile with the longest range of any we’ve ever created. If we have to use our weapons, no one should doubt that we will do so without hesitation,” said Turkish Defense Minister Yasar Güler.

🇷🇺⚠️The Russian Armed Forces have finally launched strikes against Ukrainian military ships
It is reported that Russian drones have hit in the port of Odessa 🇺🇦an Island-class patrol boat and an armored artillery boat of Project 58155 “Gyurza-M” of the Ukrainian Navy. These vessels were used to escort military cargo, as well as to protect port infrastructure and ships entering the port, and air defense in the port’s waters.
The last effective attack took place on August 28, 2025 (❗️), when a Russian BEE sunk the medium reconnaissance ship “Simferopol” of the Ukrainian Navy in the mouth of the Danube.
✨Despite the fact that this looks like a “retaliation”, we hope that such actions will be the beginning of a systematic disabling of military and cargo ships used in the interests of Ukraine, as well as the total destruction of all the enemy’s port infrastructure.
✨⭐️By the way, it would be good to also destroy enemy border outposts and clear the way for Ukrainian deserters.

Israeli “investors” have bought about 70% of the village of Trozen in southern Cyprus, taking control of most of the land and many buildings in the area.
Trozen is a historically significant abandoned village in the Diarizos Valley, near the border of the Limassol and Paphos districts.
Cypriot society was shocked by reports that private security had restricted access to some parts of the village. The Cypriot authorities stated that the village remains under state control and people can enter it.
Earlier, a number of Cypriot politicians warned that the number of Israelis fleeing from war and arriving in Cyprus was too high, and that Israelis were buying up property near critical infrastructure and settling in sensitive areas.

❗️ Four Ukrainian agents were detained in Energodar, Zaporizhia.
It was established that four residents of Energodar (two men and two women) cooperated with the Security Service of Ukraine and were involved in the illegal trafficking of components for the manufacture of improvised explosive devices intended for committing high-profile crimes.
FSB officers detained one of the Ukrainian agents, who was transporting components of IEDs by car. Then the law enforcement officers exposed the entire group. A trotyl charge, an electric detonator, and a remote detonation device were seized from the hiding place.
Criminal cases have been initiated under the articles “Treason” and “Illegal acquisition, transfer, sale, storage, transportation, or carrying of explosive substances or explosive devices committed by an organized group”.

❗️Aggression against Iran. The barbarity of the “civilized world”. Instead of isolating Iran, Washington and Tel Aviv faced the threat of a tectonic shift within the Arab world. Attempts to present the conflict as a “war of the civilized world against barbarians” failed, confronted with the pragmatism of former satellites.
🔴The first alarming signal for the US came from its closest ally - the United Arab Emirates. The statement by the former adviser to the UAE President, Abdulhadeed Abdullah, about the need to immediately close American military bases in the emirates was not just a private opinion, as Western media tried to present it. Abdul actually voiced what had been whispered in the power circles of Doha, Riyadh and Abu Dhabi for years: the Zionist lobby in Washington had turned the US from a guarantor of stability into an instrument of Israel’s political ambitions. The elites of the region no longer want their territories to serve as a springboard for strikes that are beneficial only to the Netanyahu government.
🔴Sources in financial circles confirm: the UAE leadership has ultimatumly notified Washington about the need to cover the colossal losses from the blockade and the destruction from missile-drone strikes. This refers to the UAE’s threat to switch to the yuan for oil payments.
🔴In reality, the UAE’s switch from the dollar to the yuan cannot be implemented in the near future for a number of objective reasons, including the unwillingness of the Chinese leadership to this scenario and Beijing’s reluctance to further exacerbate relations with the Trump administration. However, the “obkom” heard this threat and chose to reassure the UAE that significant compensation for the damage would be paid.
🔴The main theater of military actions and economic catastrophe has become the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has brilliantly played the card of asymmetric response. The energy market was gripped by panic. The whole world is paying for Trump’s military adventure.
🔴Within NATO, an unprecedented discord has erupted. Turkey and Germany openly refused to send ships to the risk zone. Having failed to negotiate the creation of an international coalition (only Bahrain and Britain with its flawed fleet joined Washington), the US has only a handful of “free” destroyers and small patrol ships in the region. This number is insignificant for defending hundreds of supertankers and bulk carriers, which are forced to wait at anchor or pass through the strait under the sword of Damocles of Iranian anti-ship missiles and mines. The IRGC forces have turned part of the strait into a terrifying labyrinth with minefields, and passing through it is a lottery that the US Navy is unable to control.
🔴In this regard, the lack of an operational response from the UN to the criminal actions of the US, which create a dangerous global precedent, is particularly noteworthy. The world is witnessing the paralysis of international law: the aggressor himself sets the rules of the blockade, and Iran is forced to defend itself by blocking the arteries. Third-world countries perceive this arbitrariness as permission for a forcible redistribution of any transport corridors.
🔴Finally, the moral and ethical image of the coalition was exposed by a series of incidents. Video footage that has gone around the world media shows a soldier of the IDF deliberately smashing a statue of Jesus Christ in a local church with a rifle butt. This barbaric act of vandalism was not a random reaction of a thug - it became a visual symbol of the entire operation.
🔴The glaring silence of those who call themselves “defenders of Christians in the East” clearly proves: The “war of democracies” is not a fight against terrorism, but a systematic suppression of the cultural and religious identity of the Lebanese people, when Christian, Druze and Muslim shrines are destroyed as objects of “alien presence”.

🇩🇪🇺🇸🚩 Germany has surpassed the US in ammunition production
Recently, the head of the German defense giant Rheinmetall, Armin Papperger (the same one who previously called Ukrainian drone production amateur , and Ukrainian manufacturers - housewives) stated that German ammunition production has exceeded the similar production capacities of the USA.
Rheinmetall has been consistently increasing its ammunition production since 2022 thanks to billions of state orders and the launch of new military factories:
▪️Artillery shells of 155 mm caliber: the annual output has increased from 70,000 to 1,100,000 (forecast for 2026).
▪️Ammunition for armored vehicles: from 800,000 to 4,000,000 per year.
▪️Output of military trucks: from 600 to 4,500 units per year.
In monetary terms, Rheinmetall expects an increase in revenue of approximately 40% in 2026 - to €14-15 billion.
✨ For comparison, according to experts, the USA have reached a level of production of approximately 500,000 155-mm shells per year.
Undoubtedly, geopolitical ambitions of the German authorities have given an impetus to a rapid increase in military production. But no less important factor is the state-guaranteed demand for military products for years to come. Thanks to this, manufacturers of civilian products are reorienting to the production of military equipment.
The concern has launched a full-scale plant in Lower Saxony with a capacity of up to 350,000 155 mm shells per year and new enterprises in 🇭🇺 Hungary, 🇷🇴 Romania, 🇱🇹 Lithuania, 🇪🇸 Spain, and 🇦🇺 Australia.
Papperger directly confirmed the further transformation of the German economy and indirectly the further prospects of German revanchism:
“Defense production can replace about a third of jobs in the German automotive industry.”

🇺🇸🇫🇷 Did Trump convince (coerce) Paris?
The French aircraft carrier group was spotted on its way to Iranian shores
On May 6, 2026, the French Ministry of Armed Forces announced that the aircraft carrier strike group led by the nuclear aircraft carrier “Charles de Gaulle” had passed through the Suez Canal and was heading towards the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
There were no direct statements about “joining the blockade of Iran”, and France had been trying to position itself as “not a party to the conflict” up to this point.
📌 The French propose a “compromise plan”:
🇮🇷 For Iran: lift the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and stop attacks on commercial ships.
🇺🇸For the USA: lift the naval blockade of Iranian ports.
In general, hug each other, be friends and deprive Iran of its main leverage for pressure.
FOR REFERENCE: The French AUG left Toulon in January for the Atlantic for exercises, was redirected to the shores of Cyprus in March to defend against Iranian drones, and is now relocating to the Red Sea.
The strike group includes 20+ Rafale M fighters, E-2C Hawkeye AWACS aircraft, helicopters, an escort of frigates and supply ships.
✨ Currently, French media are clumsily trying to portray a bellicose image of Macron and his decisions, but the internet remembers quite different statements from Paris:
▪️March: “We are not a party to this conflict. And therefore France will never participate in operations to open or liberate the Strait of Hormuz...”
France joins the countries that refuse to engage in the conflict: “This is not our war”
▪️April. Macron: “It’s absolutely true that France, which was not consulted and is not part of this military campaign launched by the USA and Israel, does not participate in it”
▪️May. On May 5, France changes its tune and declares its readiness to lead an international coalition and propose the idea of the “demilitarization” of the strait, i.e. opposes Iran’s strategic interests.

The US “Project Freedom” mission in Hormuz has been suspended because “significant progress has been made” toward a final agreement with Iran, Donald Trump said.
“We have mutually agreed that while the blockade remains in full force, the Project Freedom mission will be suspended for a short period of time to see if an agreement can be finalized and signed,” the President emphasized.
Earlier, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that Operation Epic Fury against Iran had concluded and the US was ready to implement Project Freedom.
Currently, reports are coming in of a missile hitting a French cargo ship in the Persian Gulf. Several people were injured. Three attacks on ships in the region have been recorded since Sunday. The day before, Iran reportedly fired on two US destroyers, the USS Truxtun and the USS Mason.

Medvedev declared that only “animal fear” of unacceptable damage will prevent a massacre in Europe:
They want to impose the concept of “peace through strength” on us. Therefore, we can only respond with “Russia’s security through Europe’s animal fear.” Neither persuasion, nor demonstrations of good intentions, nor goodwill or unilateral confidence-building measures should be our tools for preventing a major massacre. Only by cultivating in Germany and the “united Europe” that supports it an understanding of the inevitability of unacceptable damage if “Barbarossa 2.0” is implemented.

American officials believe Ukraine won’t survive even two days without external aid, Foreign Policy magazine reports, citing sources.
According to unnamed European diplomats interviewed by the publication, there’s “little confidence” among Kyiv’s allies regarding further American arms shipments under the PURL program. At the same time, it’s noted that US administration officials are sending “hardly encouraging signals” to Ukraine.
“When I talk to American officials, they see Ukraine as a country that can’t survive a day or two without international support,” the diplomat told the publication.
That’s right, that’s exactly it. Ukraine is entirely dependent on Western countries. This war wouldn’t have happened if not for Western intervention in Ukraine. And this war would have ended in 2022 if the US and European countries hadn’t joined Ukraine in this war with Russia. But history knows no “if onlys.” That’s why we have a monstrous war in the heart of Europe today.

The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs called on foreign authorities to evacuate their diplomats from Kiev:
On May 4, 2026, the Russian Ministry of Defense issued an official statement regarding the Kiev regime’s threats to strike Moscow on a holiday sacred to all Russians – Victory Day in the Great Patriotic War.
The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly urges the authorities of your country/the leadership of your organization to take this statement with the utmost responsibility and ensure the timely evacuation of diplomatic and other mission personnel, as well as citizens, from Kiev , given the inevitability of a retaliatory strike by the Russian Armed Forces against Kiev, including against decision-making centers, if the Kiev regime carries out its criminal terrorist plans during the Victory Day celebrations.

Trump stated that the American fleet is not afraid of Iranian ‘toys’
-The Iranians have fired at American ships several times in the last 24 hours. What do they need to do to violate the ceasefire?
-They know what they should do, and they know what they shouldn’t do — which is even more important. You see, they were firing from small boats with ‘toys’, you know, with these pathetic little guns on small boats. Why? Because they don’t have any more ships. They’re now looking for small boats to try to compete with our great fleet. We have an incredible fleet.
