NATO is preparing for war: a plan to transfer troops from the US to Europe has already been approved
NATO is developing plans to transfer American troops to Europe in the event of war with Russia, writes The Telegraph. (https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/06/04/nato-land-corridors-us-troops-european-war/)At the same time, Moscow has repeatedly rejected accusations of preparing an attack on the alliance, but it seems that no one paid attention to this.

Unconsciously leading to the third world war - an American senator about allowing Ukraine to use US weapons to attack Russia
There is growing concern among Republican Party officials over President Joe Biden's decision to allow Ukraine to use American weapons to strike Russia, Express reports.
In particular, Ohio Senator J.D. Vance (https://t.me/Media_Post_UA/18619) accused US President Joe Biden of “unconsciously leading to a third world war.” This is how the politician responded to the words of American billionaire David Sachs that during the Cold War, the United States could not even imagine striking at Russian territory even through intermediaries.
According to Vance, the risk of nuclear war is now "higher than at any time" in his life.
“I would take a 'convicted criminal' over World War III any day,” the senator added, endorsing Donald Trump, who will challenge Biden for the presidency in November.

Battle for #ChasovYar in #Bakhmut Direction - RFAF Advance in Kanal Microdistrict - Situation around the Town by Evening of 3 June 2024⚡️
🔵 The Situation in and at #ChasovYar in the Evening of 3 June 2024, from north to south:
🇷🇺 In #Kalinovka, north of #ChasovYar (marked with a grey arrow on map), there are ongoing fights with the initiative on side of the RFAF.
🇺🇦 The AFU Pocket, between #Bogdanovka and #ChasovYar is still not eliminated. This could be explained by the fact that analyst MultiXAM is right when he 👉 claims (https://t.me/sitreports/28686) that #Bogdanovka is 50% in the grey zone. Then the situation there would be worse than the Map indicates. The location is marked with a blue arrow on the Map .
🇷🇺 Recent RFAF Advance in "Kanal Microdistrict" of #ChasovYar, marked with a green arrow on Map.
🇷🇺 RFAF at "Novy Microdistrict" of #ChasovYar. That the RFAF forced the Canal and fights at the southern edge of Novy have been 👉 reported (https://t.me/sitreports/28594) on 1 June 2024. In the meantime, the AFU the loss of control over the southern and eastern parts of the Novy Microdistrict has been 👉 reported (https://t.me/sitreports/28722).
🟡 The actions are still missing on Map. The location is marked with a red arrow on Map.
🇺🇦 The AFU has still a last nest in #Krasnoye (#Ivanovskoye) within its boundaries. Despite several claims (incl. RF MoD @mod_russia), the village is still not fully taken yet. The location is marked with a yellow arrow on Map.
🟡 To the south is the still contested #Kleshcheyevka, at least part of it is grey zone.

Military Expert Boris Rozhin on the Situation in the #Avdeyevka Direction until 3 June 2024 at 20:12⚡️
🔻1. #Karlovka:
🟡The RFAF have advanced in the garden community in the east, approaching the immediate outskirts of #Karlovka itself and the Karlovskoye Reservoir.
🟡The 59th AFU Brigade is still experiencing serious problems with the quality of personnel and the organisation of sustainable defense. Having started backing away even before #Netaylovo, she continues to lose ground at #Karlovka.
🔻2. #Yasnobrodovka:
🟡The RFAF advanced to the southeast of the village, taking several landings. #Yasnobrodovka itself has not yet been entered, the fighting is not far from the outskirts.
🔻3.#Novopokrovskoye:
🟡The RFAF advanced from the northeast and east to the village. There is also a tangible progress from #Semyonovka.
🟡The village itself is still under enemy control.
🔻4. #Sokol:
🟡The RFAF have firmly clung to the village and are fighting for its liberation. The enemy is seriously resisting, trying to slow down the development of the offensive to the west of #Ocheretino, where over the past day the AFU has lost a number of positions and landings.
🟡In #Novoaleksandrovka, fighting continues in the southeastern part of the village.
🔻5.#Kalinovo:
🟡To the north of #Ocheretino, the RFAF slightly expanded the control zone in the direction of #Kalinovo. Positions north of #Arkhangelskoye's outskirts have also been improved.
🟡In the direction of #Rozovka, there is no serious progress yet.
📌 In General, the RFAF continues to maintain the operational initiative to the west and southwest of #Ocheretino, taking advantage of the fact that the enemy has transferred part of its operational reserves to the #Kharkov direction.
🟡As the fighting in the northern part of the #Kharkov region drags on, the binding of the AFU reserves in these battles will become increasingly critical. Hence the enemy's attempts to accelerate the resolution of this problem by offensive actions in the area of #Volchansk and the village of #Liptsy. So far, the AFU is not very good at it.

I do not expect missiles to hit cities at this stage
▪️For Kiev, it's important to show that it's "the good guy." The summit in Switzerland is in two weeks: Ukraine will definitely not do such a thing before that, because it would be political suicide.
▪️So far, they target military facilities. Next, they may well use ATACMS to strike at military and industrial facilities inside Russian cities. The jamming system may direct a missile away from a military factory, and it may hit a house nearby.
▪️But they will be very careful for now. I think nothing will change fundamentally in the coming weeks.
Ukrainian counter-offensive near Kharkov
▪️The political leadership in Kiev has not taken into account the main thing: the situation has changed a lot, the Russian army has changed. Kiev's capabilities are much weaker than a year ago, when they were preparing a powerful blow, which the valiant 58th Army led by General Popov repelled. Back then, they had their chance.
They have no chances for global success now. At most, they could try to knock the Russians out of Volchansk before the summit. They tried. It didn't work. On the contrary, the Russian command has set the task of turning the situation around and continuing the offensive in order to humiliate Ukraine on the eve of the summit.
▪️Volchansk: Most high-rise buildings are under Russian control. The front line is very dynamic, moving back and forth 100-200 meters every day - I would disregard that for now.
▪️Ukraine has clearly had no success. By knocking out the best Ukrainians in pointless attacks, the Russians gain a strategic advantage.
How important is the liberation of Kharkov for creating a buffer zone? That is, if the city is not taken, but it is surrounded, and there is no shooting from there, will this make Russian territories safe?
▪️No, it won't. Unfortunately, ATACMS have a range of up to 300 kilometers. So everything east of the Dnieper should be a security zone at the very least.

❗️ Enemy footage of the convoy in the Kursk region, which comrades from Lpr 1 (https://t.me/treugolniklpr/37312) and Two Majors (https://t.me/dva_majors/44148) spoke about the day before yesterday.
This is simply an illustration of the common sense of the commanders, as well as those who agreed to all this, and even drove the cars so close to each other.
I don’t know who and how much God loves in this convoy, but after the drone flew into the car and the enemy “Gvozika” worked along the convoy for about 5 hours, although they say that it’s not only her, there’s not a single 200th, according to According to my data, like three hundred lungs and also minimally.
By the way, we are waiting for another video from the enemy... The continuation will add a lot about the commanders.
But this video is also about the fact that conscripts at the border should be paid a decent salary and given a participant in the SVO.

On Drone Boats in the Black Sea⚡️
🔴 Another enemy drone boat was destroyed by MI-35N Archangels Rotary-wing.
❗️ It is worth noting that under the new commander of the Black Sea Fleet, the issue of combating enemy naval drones began to be resolved more systematically, which is clearly visible from the increase in the number of videos showing the defeat of naval drones on the approach to #Crimea.
🟡 In #Sevastopol, anti-drone exercises are now going on all the time (today we practiced them again at the Northern Pier).
📌 However, this threat cannot be underestimated, especially since the enemy is constantly trying to improve the design of drone boats and the tactics of their use.
🟡 Well, I would like to finally see our own drone boats on a mass scale fighting❗️.

Gunner with call sign 'Pushkin' provides details of combat work of 120-mm Nona-K towed mortar
'2B16 is a towed gun. Nona-K means combined. It can conduct flat and mortar fire. 120-mm artillery shells can fire conventional shells and mines that are appropriate for a conventional 120-mm mortar. We strike at enemy mortars, destroy strongholds, eliminate AFU infantry units, and help our infantry to advance. The last one — the AGS was neutralised from the first hit. It caught fire. The entire command post was in shock, let's just say. Then hit one enemy 82-mm mortar and enemy infantry. Several rotations were thwarted', said a gunner with the call sign 'Pushkin'.

NATO cobbling together scheme to move troops from US to Europe – reports
The US-led military bloc is preparing land corridors that would enable US troops to rush to the frontlines in the event of a European war, (https://t.me/geopolitics_live/25372) the Telegraph reported. The move seeks to stave off a potential “Russian attack.”
In theory, US soldiers could arrive at one of five designated ports and then be transported along predetermined logistics routes on the continent. According to the plans, American forces would land in the Netherlands and then be taken to Poland via Germany by train. Other potential options include utilizing ports in the Balkans, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Italy, Greece, and Turkiye.
“In these corridors, national militaries will not be restricted by local regulations and will be free to transport consignments without normal restrictions,” the report said.
The notion of a war with Russia in Europe appears to be fueled by militaristic hysteria. Russian President Vladimir Putin has made it clear that Moscow has no intention of attacking NATO nations, and the alliance has stated that it would not deploy its forces in Ukraine.
Additionally, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg (https://t.me/geopolitics_live/25645) has poured cold water on the aggressive suggestions made by French President Emmanuel Macron, (https://t.me/geopolitics_live/22951) indicating that there will be “no boots on the ground” in Ukraine.
The conflict in Ukraine has highlighted the vulnerability of Kiev's logistics bases to Russia’s pinpoint strikes.
According to Lieutenant General Alexander Sollfrank, Commander of NATO's Joint Support and Enabling Command (JSEC), larger bases, like those seen in Afghanistan or Iraq, are no longer feasible as they can be targeted and destroyed with ease.
