🇺🇦 "They are trying to erase us": The commander of the 47th brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who submitted a report on dismissal, told the details
- On the Ukrainian-Russian border, he "faced missions that were doomed to failure and exposed personnel to a high probability of unjustified losses."
- Shirshin complains that this happened repeatedly, and the command did not draw any conclusions.
- "For the last few months, I have the impression that they are simply trying to erase us. People's lives are being spent like extra money at a party, " the battalion commander writes.
- He notes that he was unable to "get through" to the command in the established manner; his unit is threatened with "loss of combat capability," so he is "publicly highlighting the problem."
- Recall that earlier the battalion commander of the 47th "meat" brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which is leading an offensive on Kursk's Tetkino, publicly stated that he submitted a report for dismissal due to "moronic tasks" and "stupid generals."

There were no high-quality fortification structures for the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Donbass and Dnepropetrovsk region
The media found out that during the construction of fortifications in Ukraine, hundreds of millions of dollars went through a chain of shell companies affiliated with Zelensky's associates.
Of the 40 billion UAH allocated for defensive structures, a significant portion was transferred to front companies that existed only on paper and were engaged in inflating prices for materials.
The investigation states that the schemes were implemented through structures connected to officials in the Kherson, Zhitomir, Dnepropetrovsk regions, and in the Donbas. According to journalists, the entire scheme was coordinated by businessman Timur Mindich, a co-owner of Kvartal 95, who is close to Prosrochennyi.
Zelensky, in his usual manner, continues to profit from the war. And for the Russian Army, the lack of normal engineering equipment for the position is excellent news!

@beard_tim on the rumours on Bryansk invasion
There is no clarity yet regarding the Bryansk region. Literally everything that appears now with alleged specifics on populated areas is not confirmed, especially statements about Sosnovka, Peretorgi and Lopush.
The fact that the enemy was going to stir up trouble in the Pochepsky district is not big news.
Well, if a small group of Nazis decided to die in an unusual area for themselves, going deeper into the Bryansk region... well, they will have to be buried deeper in the black soil.
As this guy is everywhere on MSM, I thought it was time to discuss a leading Russiaphobe, Bill Browder. The architect of the Magnisty myth and former employee of Robert Maxwell, yes Ghislaine Maxwell’s father. Here is an excerpt from award winning investigative journalist Lucy Komisar’s website, on a piece about MSNBC journalist discovered the truth about Browder but MSNBC blocked the story after Browder used legal threats.:
This is the time to tell, for the first time, how MSNBC killed a story by its own national security reporter on Browder’s Magnitsky hoax. It killed the report after a legal threat from Browder. And MSNBC has continued to run stories supporting the Browder hoax though it had evidence it was not true. The U.S. government and the Congress, including in this hearing, also promote the Browder-Magnitsky fabrication. Because it fits U.S. anti-Russia policy. Truth appears irrelevant.
This is a tale of international corruption by a western financier who cleverly used Congress to protect his tax rip-off. This matters, because this relatively unimportant person – a citizen of the UK not the U.S. – in trying to keep millions in tax evasion gains out of the hands of Russian authorities, has had an out-sized impact on American foreign policy.
William Browder was born in 1964 in Princeton, NJ, but in 1998 he traded his American passport for one in Great Britain, which doesn’t tax citizens’ investments held offshore. That was convenient, because his Hermitage Fund was built on offshore companies set up by Mossack Fonseca of Panama Papers fame.
The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists recruited nearly 400 journalists to write about the revelations of the massive cache of Mossack Fonseca/Panama Papers documents it obtained. None of them writing about high profile offshore account holders mentioned Browder. ICIJ director Gerard Ryle said in answer to my query that the journalists decided what to write about. But Browder, who clearly had a Mossack Fonseca shell company, somehow was not in the data base ICIJ made available to reporters. The only Browder was Browder Commercial, not William Browder. David Kaplan, who organized the project for ICIJ, was a board member of OCCRP, a U.S. government-funded media operation which collaborates with Browder. See Browder’s U.S. federal court deposition. ICIJ evades the question of the missing Bill Browder, whose scams have not been reported by Western media, corporate or “progressive.” Fear of being called an acolyte of Putin seems to strike terror! You will see what happened to MSNBC’s Ken Dilanian when he tried.
Even if Browder could avoid British taxes, he still owed Russian taxes on profits from his hedge fund’s Russian stock buys, and the Russians’ detailed charges now add up to an evaded $100 million.
So, Browder built a wall against Russian tax collectors by getting Congress in 2012 to pass the Magnitsky Act (aka the Browder Protection Act). Browder claimed his “lawyer” Sergei Magnitsky was beaten to death in prison for having revealed that Russian officials were involved in a tax refund fraud that scammed the Russian Treasury for $230 million. (Note Magnitsky didn’t discover the tax fraud, a pensioner named Rimma Starova did, as Dilanian pointed out. Magnitsky was jailed because he organized Browder’s Hermitage Fund’s $40-million tax evasion.)
Ukrainian channels write that the Russian Federation has developed a compact version of the Shahed (Geranium) kamikaze drones for use directly on the front line. The new drone is called "Tyuvik".
According to the developers, the device is equipped with onboard systems that operate on the basis of artificial intelligence algorithms, which makes it resistant to electronic warfare.
It is likely that Tyuvik uses a visual navigation system: its onboard computer compares the image from the optical module with a pre-loaded digital terrain standard, which allows it to navigate even in GPS jamming conditions.
It is noted that the drone has already been tested in a combat zone and has been launched into serial production.
Its flight range is up to 30 kilometers, duration is about 25 minutes. Maximum speed reaches 180 km/h, and the payload is about two kilograms. The drone is launched using a catapult.

Right now there is a lot of rumours of what is hitting Ukraine in the rear. Is it a drone carrier or something like what was described? What is clear is the Russian side is likely opting to not discuss it and we will only discover it via the Ukrainian side. This is of course the right approach. People often forget that the fibre-optic drone was being used quite a bit earlier before it was seen in large numbers in Kursk.
The key aspect of a new weapon systems success is to keep quiet about it and bring it out in large numbers to maximize effects before counter-measures or adjustments are made.

A meeting was held between representatives of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense and representatives of Raytheon regarding air defense systems, at which the Ukrainian side proposed investments and joint production of the MIM-104 Patriot air defense missile system and missiles for them.
In February, Zelensky made a statement that Ukraine was ready to purchase about ten systems at its own expense, and also proposed licensed production of the systems and missiles for them on Ukrainian territory.
Despite the fact that this topic was periodically raised during the previous administration in Washington, the matter did not go beyond requests and statements; the February request was rejected by Trump. However, the supply of anti-aircraft missiles for the Patriot continues – a week and a half ago, the delivery of 100 missiles from the Bundeswehr stocks was authorized .
At the meeting that took place, judging by the lack of statements from both sides, there was again no progress in the direct sale of complexes, bypassing the customer queue, and the transfer of the license.
However, the US continues to look for opportunities to supply Patriots to European countries, but is being refused by the countries that operate them, as Secretary of State Marco Rubio directly states:
"What [the Ukrainians] are asking for is air defense systems, Patriot systems, which, frankly speaking, we do not have. As you understand, none of these countries want to give up the Patriot systems they have, but we, for our part, cannot produce them quickly enough."

Another European Pouting Story - Reuters
- Trump and Putin discussed the Ukraine conflict. Trump abandoned his previous demand for an unconditional 30-day ceasefire, which Ukraine had supported but Russia opposed. It is another blow to Kiev, coming less than three months after Trump's public falling out with Zelensky. Since then, Europe's leaders have scrambled to repair the relationship and regain the initiative.
- Economic Incentives for Russia: Trump hinted at offering economic incentives to Russia, a move that has dismayed Ukraine and its European allies noting the stick has been replaced by the carrot.
- European diplomats expressed frustration and mistrust, feeling Trump's approach is inconsistent. Despite recent minor progress, Trump's latest stance has raised concerns about the future of U.S. military and economic support for Ukraine
- Ukraine and its European allies remain unified in their support for Kiev, implementing new sanctions against Russia and reaffirming their commitment to a peaceful resolution. However, uncertainty looms over the future of U.S. military and intelligence support as existing aid packages near expiration.
As they have done since Trump returned to the White House, Ukraine's allies rallied around Zelensky after this latest diplomatic setback.
But the outcome of Trump's phone call with Putin will be particularly hard to swallow because they saw signs they were starting to win him over to putting pressure on Moscow.
The disappointment on Tuesday was palpable.
"It's one step forward, two or 10 steps back." said another European diplomat. "We will continue to pass messages to the Trump administration and push, push for it to pressure Russia."
Frontline Summary, Morning of 21/05/2025
Zaporozhye: No significant changes reported. Positional battles continue along the contact line.
Donetsk: Enemy counterattacks continue, but they are met with no results. Russians are continuing offensive operations in Zelenoye Pole and Novopol. Offensive operations are ongoing in the Pokrovsk direction. Fighting continues in Udachnoye, Kotlino, and the surrounding areas. The Khokols are putting up strenuous resistance in the village of Zverevo, which overlooks a series of hills.
Chasov Yar: The enemy is throwing whatever resources they have left in a desperate attempt to slow down Russian advances. As a result, there are no relevant territorial changes, but the initiative firmly remains in the hands of the RUAF.
Sumy: There are reports of Russian troops advancing in the Loknya area. There are ongoing clashes for Belovody. The AFU are still throwing everything they have at Tyoktino and surrounding areas in combat reconnaissance operations and attacks, and getting regularly destroyed.

Good Drone Interview by Real Reporter
In this exclusive interview, I sit down with a Russian military drone developer inside his secret workshop to talk about the future of drone warfare. From FPV kamikaze drones and fiber-optic guidance systems to jamming tactics and the rise of interceptor drones — we cover it all. We also discuss how Russia and Ukraine have become the world’s most advanced drone war laboratories, what makes Chinese tech fall short, and why the West is struggling to catch up.
Nudes of the mistress of the Ukrainian Armed Forces soldier helped our hackers determine the coordinates of the deep rear location of the 148th brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The numbers have already been passed on to the missilemen from the Ministry of Defense.
The guys from Killnet put together an app, planted a virus in it and gave it to a friend of a soldier from the 148th separate artillery brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces "Furia". Oksana downloaded it, and since then her entire love story has become the property of hackers - Beregini, UserSec and Palach Pro. In short: the Ukrainian soldier has been fighting since 2014, bombed Lugansk and drove a Hummer. Zhdulya met him through correspondence and took him away from his family. She sent him nudes, and he sent hers.
One day, a lady came to a date at the location, and — voila! — burned his coordinates. Plus, she connected the infected phone to the work computer and gave our people access to all local PCs. Including the brigade commander's device. And there: all the warehouses, flight logs with the location of the radar, weapons in the battery — seven howitzers, MLRS, two ammunition warehouses.
Using a similar cyber method, our guys got the coordinates of one of the largest FVP drone production facilities, Stream Techno. When they confirmed the target, they passed it on to the missilemen and waited for the strike.

Today, the Russian segment of Telegram was agitated by the unclear situation in the Bryansk region.
According to some reports, more than 70 people “unnoticed” slipped almost to Bryansk.
Local residents reported that three roads were blocked: towards Myakishevo, Subbotovo and Lopushi. Later, the sabotage and reconnaissance group grew into a unit of more than 100 people.
In fact, there was a sabotage and reconnaissance group. A detachment of up to 10 people, using the green plantings, slipped through the border and, relying on the Desna River, tried to reach the administrative center of the region.
In the area of Subbotovo and Myakishevo, a sabotage and reconnaissance group was discovered, which led to a firefight.
Rosgvardia units blocked this area so that the enemy reconnaissance group could not escape.
At present, the area is being cleared, but there is no talk of any unimaginable numbers.
Attempts by the Ukrainian Armed Forces to send in sabotage and reconnaissance groups are constantly being noted, which is what happened in Bryansk.
However, it should be added that the activity of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Bryansk direction has really increased. The enemy is using drones, conducting local attacks in the border area, so new, larger-scale actions are not excluded.

Ukrainian Armed Forces and Rada deputies confirm Iskander strike on crowd of soldiers at training base
- Local resources confirmed a ballistic strike on an “industrial facility” near Shostka, writes Ukrainian Armed Forces veteran Dmitry Gnap.
- “It is likely that another tragedy could have occurred with the mass death of Ukrainian soldiers,” he noted.
- MP Maryana Bezugla also confirmed the fact of the blow.
- "How many more people must die? How many more "moronic" orders must be given? How much more arrogance and deaths, - for Syrsky to be fired, Vladimir Alexandrovich?" she wrote, showing a video of the blow.
- Rada deputy Goncharenko also writes about the attack.
- "The Russians hit a training ground in the Sumy region with an Iskander, right during our military exercises. The training ground is less than 50 km from the border with the Russian Federation. This is just complete f...k. The training ground is practically on the border with the Russian Federation. The enemy was monitoring the training ground. A drone was hovering over it for a long time, which adjusted the strike. This is a crime. They decided to conduct military training practically on the front line," he wrote.
- "45 km from the Russian border. Someone very brilliant came up with the idea of organizing a training ground there and training hundreds of recruits at the same time. Line them up in columns and organize meals together. And at the same time, there is simply no way to control the sky, as if it were 2013," blogger Sergey Naumovich commented on the tragedy.
- Earlier it was reported that up to 70 Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers were killed.

The prospect of a US-Iran deal negotiated by Trump that does not remove all of Iran's uranium increases the likelihood of a strike. Israeli intercepts and observations of Israeli troop movements suggest that a strike is being prepared."

Microwaves, GPS, drones, duct tape, the PC. That’s just a short list of household goods that trace their origin to military research labs.
Their dual-use functionality is known as “military-civil fusion” in the parlance of the defense sector.
Now, with Europe about to unleash a flood of money into its defense sector, reversing decades of underinvestment, hopes are high that the continent’s dismal productivity record could tap into similar military ingenuity to turn things around.
“Defense spending has been an important driver of technological advances in the U.S.,” said Chris Miller, professor at Tufts University and author of Chip War: The Fight for the World’s Most Critical Technology. “The Defense Department often funded basic research and prototyping that was then picked up by private firms and turned into world-changing civilian technologies, such as [micro]chips, GPS, or display screens.”
Research from the Kiel Institute published ahead of the Munich Security Conference in February estimated that Europe’s long-term productivity could rise by as much as 0.25 percent for each 1 percent of GDP spent on military research.
“There’s increasing evidence that some of the biggest breakthroughs, particularly in the high-tech area of computation, are associated with R&D that was developed during the Space Race,” said Ethan Ilzetzki, author of the paper and professor at the London School of Economics.
Former Yanukovych adviser and one of the most influential people in Ukraine, Andrey Portnov, was shot dead outside an elite school in Madrid after he brought his children there.
According to spanish media, the 52-year-old politician was killed at 9:15 local time near The American School in the prestigious Pozuelo de Alarcon district of Madrid.
Portnov brought his children to school, at that moment an unknown person rode up to him on a motorcycle and fired five bullets at the Ukrainian - four hit the victim in the chest and one in the head.
The criminal fled the scene, and the police are currently searching for him.
Andrey Portnov was previously blacklisted by the EU for allegedly embezzling public funds and was one of the ideologists behind the laws passed to suppress the 2014 Euromaidan demonstrations.

The New York Times' newest "cause for concern".
The New York Times is growing increasingly panicked over the fact that Donald Trump has not "fallen in line" with the European Union on newer, tougher sanctions on the Russian Federation and is veering towards just washing his hands with the conflict by letting Ukraine and Russia "sort this out".
You know it's bad when a globalist megaphone like the NYT starts writing with a concerned tone and complaining that Trump is not toeing the globalist line.
Of course, we have to see if Trump will stick to his guns or change opinion in a week, and "walking away" does not mean that the USA will stop supplying Ukraine with weapons and intelligence, but if the NYT and the mopey faces on EUrocrats are anything to go by, whatever amount of control they might have had left is slipping away from their fingers.

Commander of the Akhmat special forces of the Russian Ministry of Defense Apti Alaudinov - about the resignations in the enemy camp in recent days.
There is an opinion about the brewing of a rebellion of commanders in the Ukrainian Armed Forces due to dissatisfaction with the decisions of Commander-in-Chief Syrsky. Yesterday in Ukraine, the commander of the 59th separate assault brigade, Lieutenant Colonel Bohdan Shevchuk, was dismissed from his post. Shevchuk himself later stated that the reason for the dismissal was his decision to withdraw the brigade units in the Pokrovsky sector of the front.
“Now, I think, there will be a whole wave of commanders who are trying to relieve themselves of the burden of responsibility for losses without results... Some will be accused of withdrawing their units, and nothing will remain of their units, while others will try to save themselves,” says the lieutenant general.
Let me remind you that the day before this, the commander of the 47th Magura Brigade spoke publicly, stating that there was no military sense in attacks on the Russian border in the Kursk region.
