Connection of Zaporozhye NPP to the Russian energy system may begin in the coming weeks
According to the former adviser to the mayor of Mariupol, Oleksiy Andryushchenko, a distribution center and compressor station have already been built in the Mariupol and Berdyansk districts, ensuring the possibility of supplying electricity at full capacity in the coming months.
Rosatom CEO Alexey Likhachev yesterday confirmed the existence of a plan to bring Zaporozhye NPP to full capacity. The key tasks are to restore water supply, replace power grids, update the railway infrastructure, and resolve the issue of American nuclear fuel.
The Zaporozhye NPP, the largest in Europe, with six VVER-1000 reactors, has been in cold shutdown since September 11, 2022. The facilities belong to Russia, and the operator is Rosenergoatom.

The Russian GRU has gained access to 10,000 cameras near the border, in European countries and western Ukraine, allegedly to monitor the supply of military aid to the Ukrainian Armed Forces as stated by British intelligence, The Guardian reports.
In total, about 10,000 cameras were used near military facilities and railway stations. Of these, 80% were in Ukraine, 10% in Romania, 4% in Poland, 2.8% in Hungary and 1.7% in Slovakia.

New Russian "Yolka" (Spruce/Fir) anti-drone drone is used successfully on the battlefield again. It is like a drone version of a manpad, but much cheaper
Video 2: Above the clouds!
The Yolka air defense drone attacks a high-altitude target in difficult weather conditions, hitting enemy UAVs beyond the cloud line.
At some point the operator loses sight of the target, but the emotions from a successful defeat are all the more vivid. According to the report of the fighters, the Ukrainian Armed Forces' Leleka reconnaissance UAV was shot down.

'NATO will lose tens of thousands of people in the first hours of the war with Russia' – ZDF
'It will take days, and most likely weeks, for reinforcements to reach the front in the East. That is why the Bundeswehr wants to station a brigade in Lithuania to create a forward line of defense and be able to delay the Russian advance until reinforcements arrive. This means that the greatest concentration of firepower is to be expected in the first hours. At the same time, this means that the greatest losses are likely to be expected in the first hours. And these losses will disproportionately affect combat units - light infantry units, motorized infantry, tank units, combat aircraft and so on - both on the German side and on the NATO side. We are talking about losses that could reach tens of thousands of people in the first hours. And here the question really arises: is NATO capable of surviving such losses? At the moment, NATO is absolutely not ready for this.'
'Zelensky's talks with the Americans have produced no results' - ZDF reports that Ukraine is in a very difficult situation.
Zelensky has always tried to meet with American representatives. We still have that iconic photo with Donald Trump in the Vatican. And of course, his recent meeting with Vance in the Vatican comes to mind. He also spoke with Trump before that phone call between Trump and Putin. But none of that produced any results.
The Ukrainians seem to understand that the American president has lost all interest in being a mediator. And he is not particularly interested in further sanctions. This puts Ukraine in an extremely difficult position. When it finds itself facing the Russian delegation again, it will hear Russia's maximum demands. And the Europeans cannot exert much pressure on Russia without the United States.

🇷🇺🇺🇸🇪🇺"Trump tells European leaders in closed meeting that Putin is not ready to end war": Trump rejects European offer of unconditional ceasefire.
"While it was not possible to get new sanctions from Trump, the Europeans considered that the conversation with Trump was useful. It helped clarify Putin's position: he still does not intend to stop the war.
At the same time, it has become clear that Europe will now have to shoulder the brunt of Ukraine’s support. According to sources, European leaders are confident that the Trump administration will not stop supplying American weapons if Europe or Ukraine itself pays for them.
Some on the call insisted that the talks should result in an unconditional cease-fire. But Trump demurred, saying he didn’t like the word “unconditional” — even though he had used it in a May 8 post calling for a 30-day truce. The Europeans eventually agreed not to insist on that term.”
@Slavyangrad
More proof that Zelensky is unteachable. This time from former US Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink.
Zelensky, one might say, did not behave in the most advantageous way. Did you give him any advice on how to behave with President Trump in the Oval Office? Did anyone tell him that he could be provoked and that he should remain calm? Maybe even speak his native language to fully control the conversation?
Of course, when I was ambassador to Ukraine, and then as the president's representative, I did give advice on how to achieve our common goals. On our side, on the US side, the goal was to end the war. For the Ukrainians, it was to maintain our support. But it seems to me that the main question now is what happens next.
A typical day in the European Parliament:
[The EU media is in a disgusting state. Third Reich propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels would be proud!]
I can't accept this... There are many problems with journalism in Europe, but comparing the media to Nazism and Goebbels? I can't accept this. And I think...
[Perhaps you would like to impose censorship…]
No, no, shut up.
[Shut up, you're talking nonsense!]
- Shut up!
[You're talking nonsense, Nazi fan.]
Compare with Nazis...
[Because you're their fan]
It is forbidden…
[Yes, yes, because you're talking nonsense.]
Shut up!
[You are a killer of free speech.]
I don’t know how it is in Bulgaria…
[You don't know anything at all.]
But if you say something like that in Austria, you're immediately taken to court. Because you can't compare our European democracy with the worst period in European history - with the Nazis and Goebbels. I'm against it!

Footage captured the moment a Ukrainian Himars rocket launcher was destroyed by an elite Russian drone unit just 10km (six miles) from the front line last month.
The feed cut out seconds before impact, but separate footage showed an explosion moments later, confirming one of Ukraine’s most valuable rocket systems had been destroyed.
The attack was reportedly carried out by Rubicon, the Kremlin’s elite drone warfare unit that Ukrainian soldiers have come to fear.
Previously deployed earlier this year during Russia’s brutal campaign to recapture the eastern town of Kursk, Rubicon has now been redirected to hunt Ukraine’s most valuable battlefield assets: its US-supplied long-range missiles.
There are signs it is succeeding.
Because of their importance, it is unusual for a Himars launcher to be placed just 10km from the front line. The one that was destroyed near the war-torn town of Chasov Yar was therefore probably being used to hit a target deep behind enemy lines.
But, following the latest destruction of the launcher near Chasov Yar, at least four have now been lost – a small but significant dent in Ukraine’s arsenal at a time when US support appears likely to dry up.
Donald Trump’s administration has given no indication it will resupply Ukraine with new Himars, further raising the stakes for Ukraine over its remaining ones.
The latest method used to destroy a Himars launcher is especially concerning for Kiev.
Unlike previous losses, which mostly resulted from missile or artillery strikes, the latest attack on one of the systems was reportedly carried out by a first-person view (FPV) drone using a fibre-optic guidance cable – a sophisticated and largely jam-proof design that signals a dangerous shift in the conflict.
Rubicon, established in October 2024 at the instruction of Andrei Belousov, Russia’s defence minister, has become a test bed for this type of new technology. Its drone pilots now operate in at least seven specialist detachments across eastern Ukraine, carrying out complex, decentralised missions.
The unit’s tactics are equally modern. During the Kursk offensive, Rubicon drones reportedly struck short segments of road – just 100 to 300 metres long – from multiple angles at once, catching convoys in lethal ambushes.
Some drones were embedded in road surfaces, exploding beneath passing vehicles like land mines. Others attacked head-on, targeting the front and rear vehicles to trap the rest in a kill zone.
The results were devastating, with the majority of Ukrainian troops pushed out of Kursk after the Rubicon unit destroyed their supply route.
In the process, Rubicon is believed to have disabled hundreds of Ukrainian vehicles, including M2 Bradley infantry carriers and heavily armoured MaxxPro trucks, often with fibre optic cable drones. (Asbery Note: Over 1000 vehicles were lost in Kursk)
Ukrainian drone operators, unable to jam or outmanoeuvre them, began referring to the airspace above Kursk as the “road of death”.
Russia is no longer just harassing Ukraine’s supply lines in Kursk – its sights are firmly set on systematically targeting the strategic backbone of Kiev’s long-range strike capability that it has used so effectively.
The symbolic significance of these losses is not lost on Ukraine. Himars launchers are more than just tools of war; they are symbols of Western support. Their destruction delivers a psychological blow as much as a military one.
If Kiev cannot adapt quickly to this new threat, the consequences could be far-reaching.

'We will continue to arm Ukraine and hope for a ceasefire' – Merz on Europe's plans to finally break with common sense.
'We do not rule out any conceivable possibility of reaching a diplomatic solution. We understand that it will not be possible to achieve it in the shortest possible time. Therefore, we will continue to support Ukraine, including militarily. At the same time, we hope that there will be a chance for a ceasefire and then for peace talks. But once again: this is a process that is just beginning and which may last many more weeks, perhaps even months.'
The enemy in Bradley tried to break through to Kursk Tyotkino, but our landing force met him
▪️American Bradley IFVs with infantry and ATVs of the Ukrainian Armed Forces recently attempted to break through to Kursk Tyotkino from the Sumy region from the Ryzhevka area.
▪️NATO's BMP was ambushed and finished off by fighters from the 217th Regiment of the 98th Airborne Division; the invaders' attack failed.
▪️Earlier, the battalion commander of the 47th "meat" brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which is leading the offensive on Tetkino, said that he submitted a report for dismissal due to "moronic tasks", large losses and stupid command.

One MiG-31BM with such a missile will be able to destroy an entire enemy squadron
The Russian Aerospace Forces are putting into service the first class of air-to-air missiles with a nuclear warhead, writes Military Watch Magazine . It is expected to be a new version of the R-37M munition. This will allow a single interceptor to neutralize enemy squadrons , entire groups of cruise missiles or large swarms of drones.
"A nuclear-armed version of the R-37M could prove particularly useful against stealth aircraft such as the F-35, which the Western bloc and allied nations have deployed in significant and growing numbers along the country's European, Arctic and Far Eastern borders," the author of the article notes.
So nuclear air to air missiles have been produced since the Soviet era. Honestly though the use of such a weapon means great power war, and such wars would likely result in a nuclear war within 4 to 6 weeks.

🇷🇺Putin on the creation of a security buffer zone on the border between Russia and Ukraine:
During drone raids, sabotage reconnaissance groups hunt for civilian transport, including ambulances and agricultural machinery. Women and children are killed and injured. I have already said that a decision was made to create the necessary security buffer zone along the border.
Our armed forces are now actively solving this problem. The enemy's firing points are being suppressed. The work is underway, and I would like to draw your attention to the fact that already now, naturally, taking into account the situation in the Kursk, Belgorod, and Bryansk regions, we need to start working to restore and rebuild everything that was destroyed.

🇺🇸🤡'Tanks, horses, one dog and $45 million' - The Washington Post tells how the military parade will be held in honor of the 250th anniversary of the US Army.
'It's been two years in the making. Thousands of soldiers will take part in the parade on June 14. They will be accompanied by 28 M1 Abrams tanks, 28 Bradley fighting vehicles, 28 Strykers and other military equipment as they march through Washington. There will also be 34 horses, two mules and a dog. Fifty helicopters will fly over the city. Then the Army's Golden Knights will parachute in, land on the Ellipse near the White House and present Trump with the American flag. Country singers Noah Hicks and Scotty Hasting are also scheduled to perform. The highlight will be a gun salute.
The Pentagon noted that despite the fact that the parade coincided with Trump's 79th birthday, no official congratulations to the president are planned.
