Watch & learn from the best: Pentagon announces purchase of books on Russian military strategy
The Pentagon has announced a tender for the purchase of books on Russian military strategy (https://t.me/geopolitics_live/25182) written by Western authors, according to the government's System for Award Management (SAM) website on Saturday.
The report says that the purchase will be made for training pilots at Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama, where the Air Force Historical Research Agency and Air University, a prestigious military school hosting the National Security Forum, are located.
The tender touches upon six books, including Strategiya: The Foundations of the Russian Art of Strategy by lecturer at King’s College London Ofer Fridman, Russian Grand Strategy in the Era of Global Power Competition by Andrew Monaghan, and Samuel Ramani's work on the Ukraine conflict.
Books on China (The Seven Military Classics of Ancient China, translated by Ralph D. Sawyer), artificial intelligence (I, Warbot: The Dawn of Artificially Intelligent Conflict, by Kenneth Payne), and space strategy (Understanding Space Strategy: The Art of War in Space, by John J. Klein) are also included in the list, the website said.
The Pentagon plans to buy 600 copies for each book option. Tender fulfillment is scheduled for mid-June, the query added.
Around #ChasovYar in #Bakhmut Direction⚡️
🎬 The work of Russian Aviation against enemy positions in the #ChasovYar direction. Strikes are being carried out on the AFU fortifications in the western part of #ChasovYar (beyond the Seversky Donets - Donbass Canal), as well as in the forest area south of #Bogdanovka (half of the settlement is still in the grey zone, despite the "speeches").
🔹 The battles go on continuously, incl. at night, the enemy is gathering new reserves, but the supply routes from #Konstantinovka and Orekhovo-Vasilyevka are under our fire control.
🔹 The need to transfer part of the reserves to the #Kharkov direction, of course, weakened the AFU positions here, but the enemy is still biting into the defence.
📌 The situation is difficult.

Escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Zone until the End of 2 June 2024⚡️
🔹In the #GazaStrip, after the completion of the Jabaliya operation, IDF airstrikes continue in Gaza and the surrounding area. In the centre of the enclave, the situation is unchanged, Israeli artillery and aviation are operating.
🔹In the south of the Enclave, in Rafah, fighting continues, with no progress observed on either side. Palestinians once again fired at the Kerem Shalom Checkpoint.
🔹On the border with #Lebanon, there is the traditional exchange of strikes between Israeli militants and Hezbollah fighters. There are fires on both sides of the border after shelling, and air defence alarms are sounding throughout northern #Israel.
🔹In the Red Sea, #Yemen's Houthis re-attacked the #US aircraft carrier USS Eisenhower and several other civilian ships. There is currently no information about the success of the attack, but monitoring resources indicate that the Eisenhower is retreating to Jeddah.

🪖 The situation in the Chasov Yarsky direction.
The situation continues to be extremely difficult. Enemy resources confirm the loss of control over the southern and eastern parts of the Novy microdistrict, as well as over the holiday village and part of the railway. The assault continues. The exact front line in the city itself is still hidden by the fog of war.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces are carrying out counterattack actions. They are trying in every possible way to retain urban development, both in the industrial zone and in high-rise buildings. To the south, our units reliably hold the Stupki Golubovskie-2 reserve and conduct reconnaissance in force, entering the Seversky Donets-Donbass canal. North of 200 Motorized Rifle Brigade continues to improve the tactical situation in Kalinovka and north of it.
It can be stated that at the moment the enemy has not yet been broken. He has plenty of artillery ammunition and FPV drones, and also has some reserves.
The 19th artillery brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces MLRS HIMARS has arrived.

Belgorod region, governor:
The Grayvoronsky urban district was subjected to repeated attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces using UAVs. Thank God, there were no casualties as a result of the attacks.
In the village of Golovchino, two kamikaze drones took turns attacking a gas station . As a result of the explosions, the entrance to the gas station building was damaged, and a gas pump and one car were hit by shrapnel. All gas station employees are safe and sound, including thanks to reinforcements made from sandbags. The third drone crashed and subsequently detonated near a private residential property - windows in the house were broken and a fence was cut. Dry grass also caught fire at the crash site; the fire was extinguished by the volunteer fire brigade.
In the village of Bezymeno, a drone dropped an explosive device on a car parked in the courtyard of an apartment building. The roof of the vehicle was broken.
All operational services are working on the ground.
✨ The Ukrainian Armed Forces are systematically knocking out our civilian gas stations in the region. This is happening against the backdrop of statements by a respected agency about attacks on Ukrainian thermal power plants and hydroelectric power plants “ in response ” to missile attacks on our large oil refineries.
It is necessary to destroy the entire energy infrastructure of Ukraine, which is at least somewhat capable of assisting the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The same "Geraniums" that the enemy is already accustomed to fighting can be redirected to unprotected air defense gas stations.
But for this it is necessary to develop a management decision and justify it.

BBC:
🇫🇷Macron allowed Ukraine to use long-range Scalp EG (Storm Shadows) missiles to attack airfields in the Kursk and Belgorod regions.
France's rhetoric is perceived as permission to use Storm Shadow and SCALP missiles. Now Ukraine can strike airfields in the Kursk and Belgorod regions,” the BBC quotes the words of a military aviation officer.
The publication's source also noted that the use of Western weapons to attack Russian territory is only a matter of time.
✨ We remember how at the beginning of the war, NATO countries took their embassies out of Kyiv in fear and were afraid to supply lethal weapons. The herbivorous policy, the lack of effective measures and the thoughtless shaking of the nuclear club led to a lack of fear among the countries of the Alliance.

🇫🇮⚡️ In Finland, the discussion about the need to switch to the European railway gauge standard (1425 mm) is being updated.
Finnish Minister of Transport and Communications Lulu Ranne said in May that “ there is an urgent need to develop military mobility, this is needed more than ever .”
In response to this, Russian experts rushed to one-up each other to prove the “economic inexpediency” of such actions, their enormous time and resource labor costs.
At the same time, such expert assessments precisely emphasize the military feasibility of these plans. Previously, we reported on the creation of the Rail Baltika (https://t.me/dva_majors/35155) logistics route in the northern part of NATO’s eastern flank, which will also include Finland. In April 2024, Wehrmacht Bundeswehr troops, as part of the Quadriga 2024 (https://t.me/dva_majors/40874) exercise, assessed the capabilities of the Rail Baltika logistics infrastructure to transport German troops to NATO’s eastern flank.
✨ Overt preparations for war with Russia are being carried out by NATO countries, and the war in Ukraine is a way to deplete Russian resources until the Alliance is ready for a full-fledged war . Preparations for it are also indicated by attacks on Russian missile launch warning systems (https://t.me/dva_majors/43961) , which the United States ineptly “condemns.” In these conditions , it is necessary to increase the economic costs of NATO countries for the maintenance of Ukraine, which requires the daily systematic disabling of any objects of economic activity (gas stations, agricultural enterprises, warehouses, housing and communal services, civil factories, etc.). The Ukrainian Armed Forces are already knocking out our economy with might and main, destroying oil refineries (https://t.me/dva_majors/42967) and gas stations (https://t.me/dva_majors/44205) .
And given that Kyiv is under the direct operational control of Washington and London, the solution to such problems and the creation of the Alliance’s military logistics around Russia speaks only of one thing.

“The DneproHPP is in critical condition after another massive attack from Russia.
It was planned to restore traffic through the DneproGES within a matter of hours after the shelling, but this was not possible."
✨ For the second time in recent months, the enemy has made the same statements regarding the facility, hoping to ward off new attacks.
The Ukros are lying. Always.

⚡️ The Russian FSB has uncovered an agent group of Ukrainian special services created to carry out terrorist attacks against military personnel of the Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol.
The FSB uncovered an agent group of Ukrainian special services in the city of Sevastopol, created to commit sabotage and terrorist acts against military personnel of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, as well as military, transport and energy infrastructure facilities in the region. Security authorities detained five agents of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and the SBU, recruited by the special services of Ukraine in the Zaporozhye region.
Previously they were convicted under Art. 222.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (illegal storage of explosives and explosive devices). The investigative department of the Federal Security Service of Russia for the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol has initiated criminal cases under Art. 205 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (terrorist act), art. 275 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (high treason).

"A strike on air defense in the Belgorod region.
The video shows the result of the defeat of the S-300/400 air defense system in the Belgorod region.
The strike was carried out using the HIMARS MLRS.
Previously, without casualties among personnel."
✨ According to air defense. Not against strike systems in the Kharkov region. The Armed Forces of Ukraine, at the command of the West, are reducing our defensive and economic potential amid talk of including NATO countries in the war without using Article 5 of the Alliance. For now.

The US State Department has seized the passport of former Marine and UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter, he told RT on Monday.
Ritter was on his way to Russia for the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) when he was pulled off the plane and had his documents confiscated.
“I was boarding the flight. Three [police] officers pulled me aside. They took my passport. When asked why, they said ‘orders of the State Department’. They had no further information for me,” Ritter told RT. “They pulled my bags off the plane, then escorted me out of the airport. They kept my passport.”
Ritter is a former US Marine Corps intelligence officer, who later served as the US and UN weapons inspector in Iraq. He is also a RT contributor, writing about international security, military affairs, Russia, and the Middle East, as well as arms control and nonproliferation.
He most recently visited Russia in January, spending time in Chechnya, Moscow and St. Petersburg, among other places.
The most recent post on Ritter’s Telegram channel put the Clooney Foundation for Justice on notice for its alleged crusade against “Russian propagandists.”
“Here I am. In your face. If telling the truth about Russia makes me a propagandist in your book, then I accept the title,” he wrote. “Bring it on. I’ll school you on the First Amendment.”
“You have zero concept of what free speech is. Try and arrest me and you’ll find out. In spades. It’s war,” he added.

Captured AFU serviceman tells about mass mobilisation in Ukraine
The medical commission in the Ukrainian military enlistment office is held formally: 'I came in, the doctor examined me and said that I am healthy. That's it! Everyone is well,' the Ukrainian serviceman recalls.
The POW also told how he was trained at the training ground. They didn't train anything, but for two weeks there was a machine gun to learn: 'A couple of bullets were fired and that's it! That's the drill. In two weeks, what can we learn?' he says.
A Ukrainian serviceman admitted to being captured for a third day after being on the front line. He also pointed out that there was no expected backup forces when needed; the AFU command did not take any actions to save its soldiers. The prisoner also noted the decent treatment he received from Russian servicemen.
