we see a passage cleared through a minefield. Armor moves through it, at some point stopping before reaching the target. A stopped column is a great static target that cannot go anywhere. Move to the side - boom, try to go forward - boom, tried to turn around and leave - boom.

WarriorDV posted footage of a repulsed AFU attack on Novodarovka at the Zaporizhia-DPR border. On June 4, the enemy managed to occupy the settlement, but by the next day, the Russian Armed Forces destroyed all the forces that had broken through, recovering the lost positions. In the fields, you can count at least 13 destroyed or abandoned armored vehicles. Some were blown up by mines, while others were destroyed by ATGM or artillery fire.

🇸🇰🇪🇺🇺🇦 How NATO interferes in Slovak elections

A scandal erupted in Bratislava after NATO documents were leaked asking for bids on a media campaign in Slovakia aimed at "re-educating" Slovak viewers.

To the post above. Hundreds of thousands of our fighters from among all the indigenous peoples of Russia are right now at the front with weapons in their hands. In the rear there are millions of Tajik and Uzbek migrant workers. While the Russians, Tatars, Buryats, Tuvans, Chechens, Dagestanis and our other peoples are fighting, what are the newcomers doing? Can they be mobilized at least for the construction of engineering structures and thereby significantly relieve our engineering troops?

🇷🇺 🇺🇸🇺🇦 In past two days, we received many questions about the international consequences of the destruction of the Kakhovka hydro plant, and how the event may affect the supply of weapons to Ukraine.

The answer to the second part is simple: basically not at all. Indeed, at the moment, the AFU have already transferred almost the entire possible range of the most modern Western-made weapons: from main battle tanks to the Patriot, SAMP / T and IRIS-T air defense systems.

🇦🇲 🇷🇺 Today, the Russian edition of Kommersant wrote that Armenian banks have begun blocking payments to Russian companies for the commodity nomenclature - for servers, microcircuits, processors, telecommunications equipment and other electronics.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 One of the most popular questions from subscribers, at conferences and among students is when the Ukrainian counteroffensive will begin.

It's already underway. Look at Belgorod Region: the enemy is consistently implementing a plan to misinform and stress the population of the Russian border area, making seemingly suicidal sorties, supposedly devoid of practical meaning in this sector of the front.

🇲🇽🇺🇸🇺🇦Another wave of discussion that weapons intended for the Armed Forces of Ukraine fell into the hands of the cartels.
