This morning several Storm Shadow missiles hit two large plants in Luhansk Many reporets about strikes on Tokmak and Melitiopol during this day

Along with this fighters of 3rd brigade say Russians moved reinforcements, which fight back fiercely and because of this our advance slowing down. For today we had some gains, but Russians reject to surrender and no prisoners today.

Russian TG reports: "on Orekhov-Tokmak direction our troops are trying to push off enemy infantry from captured by them our forward posiotions. Alas, we have losses, this is naturally for such dense clashes. Artillery of AFU doesn't reduce own intencivity"

As I can recall this video with AMX had a writing "UKR troops in Novodonetske". There wasn't claim these vehicles destroyed or abandoned. Crews can hide in foxholes nearby, until they havn't a task. You can't sit in the tank 24/7

UKR tanker of 3rd assault brigade told about first case of APS (likely Arena) usage by Russian tank. Translation: In short, there was fu..g cool Russian tanky, which can't be hit even with NLAW or Stugna. He fu..g annoyed us with his friend, so it was a matter of honor to kick it ***. Tadaaam... It got Krasnopol at his fu..g mug These morons prescribed shooting at almost everything. except own artillery shells. I think, this guy mistakingly thougt that APS passed own ammunition, though indeed the velocity of falling shell is exceeds reaction threshhold of APS, so they could hit the tank with any artillery ammunition with the same effect. "Defense Express" wrote in April, Russians hastily test own Arena-M APS, which got upgrades to resist newest western AT assets, including top-attack and they going to mount it on tanks T-72B3 family with opportunity of mount it in future on T-80/T-90 family

This pipeline in present time doesn't transport ammonia from Russia to Odesa, where located large chemical plant, involved in accumulation and supply of ammonium on world markets. But some remains of ammonia still inside the pipe and can be dangerous. Russia demands renewing of pipeline work and tried to tie this with prolongation of "grain deal", involving to this a lobby of African and some Asian countries, depending of fertilizers, using ammonium as productin component.

One more loss among UKR pilots. Major Vladislav Savelyev, probably Su-25 pilot of 299th tactical aviation brigade, though his friend told he was "fighter-pilot". Was shot down on 2nd of June. He had a dream to travel to Norway with his family and friends. Now they will filful his wish - his ashes will be scatterd over one of Norwegian fiords.

Friendly fire... Good

Russians shelled again ammonia pipeline near Masiutivka village, Kharkiv oblast, which they captured three weeks ago. Several close impacts were spotted near pump station.

Prigozhyn in own confrontation with MoD couldn't bypass this and humilitated MoD again, showing in mockery way that helicopters (here he calls him ATGMers) hit harvesters, but MoD passed them as tanks

Fail of using of convicts in MoD sructures (PMCs and Shtorm-Z "penalty companies") caused also by lack of effective keeping them in control by officers and guarding troops. Yes, they have orders to shoot them in case of open riot or deserting, but in Wagner fear control was more effective and caused immediate death in case of ANY form of disobedience. And not always by shooting. To be sledgehammered or slashed on pieces with axe is more terrific death. So, in MoD units number of deserted convicts (i.e. with a weapon) already count itself by hundreds, when in Wagner its were single incidents

225th TD battalion of 127th TD brigade (Kharkiv city), has taken prisoners during assault actions on northern flank of Bakhmut. POWs, which looks like convicts or even bums, say they mostly from Astrakhan' and Smolensk and belong to PMC "Veterans". PMC "Veterans" is one of several PMCs, establishing by MoD. But Russian official or commercial structures like Gazprom with own PMC "Potok" just formally repeats ideas of Wagner, but can't repeat their effective control and havn't enough of professional core. So, despite such name "Veterans", likely to this PMC enlisted these scared convicts. Prigozhyn already blamed "Veterans" about month ago they abandonend own positions

UKR sources claimed Russian colonel general Oleg Makarevich, commader of Troops Grouping "Dnepr" gave an order to blow up the dam. Direct acomplishing of this order lays on commander of 205th motor-rifle brigade lt.colonel Eduard Shandura (how concidently - this is UKR surname derived from western Ukrainian "shandor" - the gate of dike, but also can be from "shandar" - western Urkainian name of gendarme in 18-19 centuries)

Several videos, which claimed as "underwater charges explosions of the dam" indeed Russian mines, set on left bank, which were moved by stream of water and detonated The water is gone and naked such things

Khodakovskiy claims UKR forces after couldn't breach Russian defense of V.Novosilky salient considered their positions in previously seized Novodonetske village as disadvantageous and abandonded the village. Now situation on salient mostly calm, UKR forces are regrouping. He also claims Russian EW completely supressed western comms, when their comm systems worked properly under UKR EW assets. Interesting that yesterday he told completely other picture Shoigu issued level of losses of Russian army, repelled UKR attack (he didn't clarify where exactly, but prbably this aboun V.Novosilky) - 71 KIA, 210 WIA.

UN now. This useless couple of bureacrats should be dismissed.

It can be old video. Other night video is sharing now with huge explosion on the dam, but it of November of 2022.

Result of this night strike 35 Kh-101/555 missiles launched, 35 intercepted. Among them 20 over Kyiv and suburbs (yes, again wake up at 3:15 %) )

Level of water in Kakhovka reservoir. Russians artifically extremaly increased level of water. It's hard to say only this caused ruining of dam section or additionally turbine facility were blown up to. Dam already had partial damage from UKR fire (but even several 155 mm and HIMARSes for such construction is like a shot for elefant) and Russian partial blowing after they left Kherson. Since this time Russians were dropping the water in controlled way, but now they during two month kept the gate locked. Flooding zone. Left bank, occupied by Russia will be more affected. Reportedly UKR garrisons retreated from islands and small bridgehead on left bank. "Ukrhydroenergo" representative made assesment that "big water" will pass during four days. Alas, I can't find now a video, on which is visible reducing the level of water in Northern-Crimean canal. So, Crimea lety be ready to be with limeted water supply during hot summer

It's claimed UKR diversion group elininated Russians in Chystopillia village, Zaporizhzhia oblast, but this is 16 km deep from frontline... Either mistaken geolocation, or this could be local partisans.

Russian shelled with Smerch or Tornado-S Balakliya and some place near Kupiansk, damaging the ammonia pipeline. Ammonia leackage happened. State Emergenmcy Service and army CBRN unit on the place now.

RVC claims full control over Novaya Tavolzhanka Hm... Sewage movement from CM1 is strictly recommented to returing )))

Statistic of intercepted aerial targets over Kyiv and closest suburbs for May. Alas, the picture is cut on the half and no Shakheds here, but from the text: 7 Kinzhals 13 Iskanders (here likley mistakingly were included at least 3 Iskader-K, which should be in cruise missiles) 65 cruise missiles Kh-101/555, Kalibr 169 Shakheds
