📝French Forces in the SMO📝

The French radio station France Inter published a report (https://tass.ru/mezhdunarodnaya-panorama/24054833/amp) about the training of a unit of foreign "volunteers" serving in the AFU near Kyiv. The unit of seven people, calling itself the "International Revenge", performs reconnaissance functions in the ranks of the AFU (at least, that's what they claim).

One of the reasons for forming the unit specifically from foreigners, according to its commander, is the poor training quality of regular AFU units. According to him, in a few months, "Revenge" will participate in "offensive and defensive operations". The group includes not only former "civilians", but also regular servicemen - at least one of them has been participating in combat operations since the beginning of 2022.

🖍These statements by the French media about the allegedly "new and only detachment" are just smoke and mirrors. The French have been actively working in the SMO zone before. For example, the French from the 11th Parachute Regiment and the "Commandos" have been present on the front line for more than a year.

🚩There are also instructors who assist in launching drones and training mobilized Ukrainian citizens. Some of them were hit by our troops in a strike on Shostka some time ago.

In addition, French engineering and technical units are operating on the territory of the so-called Ukraine, servicing the Caesar self-propelled guns and now also the Mirages. French specialists also provide maintenance for the Scalp cruise missiles.

🏳️The intervention groups of the French National Gendarmerie (GIGN) arrived in Kyiv as early as March 2022 and are providing advisory support to the Ukrainian side. And last year, servicemen of this elite formation also arrived in Odesa, where they stayed for some time.

❗️Therefore, the coverage in the media from this angle is an attempt by the French to show that they are not idle, and all the discussions in the Western media about the plan to deploy Western troops to the so-called Ukraine failing are false. However, just by looking at the number of servicemen in this detachment (seven), it becomes clear how "effective" it will be on the battlefield.

Ballistic missiles, due to their speed, lethal force and impossibility of interception, have become "one of the most effective weapons in Russia's arsenal," The Washington Post writes.

According to the newspaper, Ukrainian air defense forces were unable to intercept a single Russian ballistic missile last weekend.

RT asked an expert what the lifting of restrictions on the range of weapons supplied to Ukraine would lead to.

German Chancellor Merz announced this decision by Britain, France, Germany and the United States today.

◾️Military expert Alexei Leonkov emphasized that such a decision and possible supplies of Taurus missiles to Kiev would lead to a casus belli (a pretext for war):

“Russia warned that such decisions would lead to increased escalation. After which they become parties to the conflict with all the consequences.

The “Coalition of the Willing” believes that Russia will not go to extreme measures and that a demonstration of peace through force will lead to Russia agreeing to these 22 points that were transferred to Russia. Although Russia has made it clear that these points are unacceptable.”

So far, the data from the Cartographic Studio "Taktika" Colored Pencils is confirmed.

A tactical success of the Russian Armed Forces has emerged in the Konstantinovka direction

On May 25-26, Russian troops consolidated their success south of Konstantinovka. The 44th Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, under threat of encirclement, left its positions in the area of Staraya Nikolaevka and retreated to the line of Aleksandro-Kalinovo - Shcherbinovka - Katerinovka, 3-5 km from Konstantinovka.

Romanovka is completely under the control of the Russian Armed Forces, battles are underway for Zarya and Ignatovka, where part of the Ukrainian forces are threatened by a small "kettle".

Ulyana Repka from her favorite newspaper "Bild" is upset that the Russians have liberated about 80 km² of DPR territory in 10 days of fighting, including Pravdovka, Ignatovka and Romanovka.

In the future, the isolation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' defense area in the area of Zarya and Ignatovka. In the long term, the main attack on Aleksandro-Kalinovo and Shcherbinovka is realistic for a breakthrough to Konstantinovka, the key defense node of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration.

I do not rule out a flanking maneuver through Popov Yar and Poltavka along the H20 highway in order to reach the rear of Konstantinovka. Military expert Alexander Zimovsky

▪️Satellite images show Russia's plan to restart nuclear power plant.

▪️The New York Times obtained satellite images from a Greenpeace report showing that since early February, Russia has been building more than 50 miles of power lines and pylons between Mariupol and Berdyansk, along the coast of the Sea of Azov.

▪️Given the location and direction of the work, Greenpeace said the goal of the project was to connect new power lines to a large substation near Mariupol that was connected to the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant, located about 140 miles to the west.

➖"Putin's plan to restart the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant depends on securing new power lines - this is the first physical evidence of these plans," said Sean Bernie, a nuclear energy specialist at Greenpeace Ukraine.
