So the question is what forces will be pulled from the Ukraine front lines to repel the invasion of Russia and what kind of hole will that leave?

BELGOROD PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC IS EXPANDING!

“Already at least 4 towns have come under the control of the RDK and the Legion of Free Russia.

The Kremlin does NOT control these territories.

There are battles for Moore, Nekhotevka, Zibrovka, Arkhangelsk, Novaya Tavolzhanka, Shchebekino, Rzhevka, Nezhgolsk and Voznesenovka.”

Long live the free Belgorod People’s Republic!

Terrorist reporter Voenkor Kotenok claims out of 40k pop, only 500 people remaining Shebekino. He calls it a genocide of the Russian people in a separate post. Well, what goes around comes back around. The time for little green men to return to Russia has come.

"One small indication is the fact that a real war has been unleashed against Russia, no matter how the phrase about the “Special Military Operation” reassures other citizens, no matter what pictures the zombie box [TV] offers to the mind of the layman.

Shebekino is a long-suffering worker-city on the border of the Belgorod region. The regional center with a population of 40 thousand people is regularly shelled by the enemy, where at the moment, 500 people remain. The city has been evacuated. Patrols of the military and the National Guard operate in city blocks in order to prevent looting."

‘Everything Changed’: The War Arrives on Russians’ Doorstep

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/03/w...raine-war.html

The New York Times wrote on Saturday that "Shebekino, a town of 40,000 six miles from the border, has effectively become a new part of the front line as Ukraine has intensified attacks inside Russia, including on residential areas near its own borders."

PMC Wagner detained and interrogated no other but the commander of the 72nd Brigade, Roman Venevitin. Wagner and the 72nd Brigade shared positions in Bakhmut.

They detained the man, beat him, broke his nose, and forced to record a video admitting to firing at a car of PMC Wagner due to "personal animosity" towards them.

They accuse him of being drunk while doing so, speaking to him as if he is a subordinate. This is a complete demoralisation of the Russian Armed Forces who should not be any close to tolerating such behaviour of a PMC.

So the big 'counteroffensive' is attacking civilian towns in Russia now?



Your boys (and old men) can't win on a legit battle field so...

In the end, Russia is STILL going to kick all those USkrianian asses and send them home in bags.

��Several ���� Z military channels, such as ���� channel RVvoenkor here, are now also reporting several AFU ���� breakthroughs at the front lines, and that the attacks and advance continue. The signs of the current success of the AFU ���� offensive are becoming clearer and clearer.

The conventional wisdom has been that time is on the Russian side, but it sure seems as though the Ukrainians are using time and delay to their strategic advantage. Maybe that’s just because every day that they delay the amount of material coming in and training being done on the western systems increases.

Russia claims the Ukrainian Counter Offensive has begun, and naturally they've already defeated it:

Russia says it thwarted major Ukrainian offensive, Kyiv says Moscow spreads lie

MOSCOW, June 5 (Reuters) - Russia said on Monday its forces had thwarted a major Ukrainian offensive at five points along the front in the Ukrainian region of Donetsk and killed hundreds of troops while Ukraine accused Moscow of spreading lies.

It was not immediately clear whether or not the attack represented the start of a Ukrainian counteroffensive which Kyiv has been promising for months to drive out Russian forces after the invasion of February 2022.

Russia's defence ministry said Ukraine had attacked on Sunday morning with six mechanised and two tank battalions in southern Donetsk, where Moscow has long suspected Ukraine would seek to drive a wedge through Russian-controlled territory.

"On the morning of June 4, the enemy launched a large-scale offensive in five sectors of the front in the South Donetsk direction," the defence ministry said in a statement posted on Telegram at 1:30 a.m. Moscow time (2230 GMT).

"The enemy's goal was to break through our defences in the most vulnerable, in its opinion, sector of the front," it said. "The enemy did not achieve its tasks, it had no success."

Reuters was unable to immediately verify the Russian statement and the Ukrainian defence ministry and military did not immediately respond to written requests for comment.

The commander of Ukraine's ground forces, Oleksandr Syrskyi, said on Monday that Ukrainian forces continued "moving forward" near the long-contested city of Bakhmut in northern Donetsk. He made no comment on the counter-offensive.

The daily report from Ukraine's General Staff said only that there were 29 combat clashes in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions of eastern Ukraine.

Ukraine's Centre for Strategic Communications did not address the Russian statement directly but said, without providing evidence, that Russia would seek to spread lies.

"To demoralize Ukrainians and mislead the community (including their own population), Russian propagandists will spread false information about the counteroffensive, its directions, and the losses of the Ukrainian army," it said.

Supposedly they have released a video as "proof" of this, but the only video I've seen appears to show Ukrainian tanks, APCs, and ATGM teams taking out Russian vehicles. Guess we'll have to wait and see how this plays out, as always, but it is interesting to compare the pictures of the Russians multiple attempted river crossing failures to the claims here and the (thus far) lack of evidence. I'm sure our local propagandists will be by with something on the subject, but I'll leave it to those who still have interest in communicating with them to review it.

Wait...you do understand that those cities in Ukraine that Russia is attacking/attacked were also civilian right? Wonder what the actual thought process was in deciding to post that snippet of hypocrisy and not understanding the simple strategy of moving/extending a battle front while trying to demoralize civilian support.
