The following three pieces of news are just worthy of the word that we discussed here recently. It turns out that so far the possibilities of ukrops for strikes are not decreasing, but growing. So we need to push harder so that these opportunities decrease.
Air defense systems destroyed and intercepted 102 UAVs over the regions of the Russian Federation

MOSCOW, May 17th. /tass/. Russian air defense systems destroyed and intercepted 102 Ukrainian UAVs over the regions of the Russian Federation overnight, including over the Crimean Peninsula and Kuban. This was reported by the Russian Defense Ministry.

"During the past night, a number of attempts by the Kiev regime to carry out terrorist attacks using unmanned aerial vehicles of the aircraft type and unmanned boats of the Ukrainian Navy against objects on the territory of the Russian Federation were suppressed. Air defense systems on duty destroyed and intercepted 51 UAVs over the territory of the Crimean Peninsula, 44 UAVs over the territory of the Krasnodar Territory, 6 UAVs over the territory of the Belgorod Region and 1 UAV over the territory of the Kursk region," they said.

The Russian Aerospace Forces intercepted two AFU fighters over the Belgorod region
The Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS) intercepted two multipurpose tactical fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) at the Liptsovsky and Volchansky operational areas in the Belgorod region. According to preliminary information, we are talking about MiG-29A/AS/UBS and/or Su-27 fighters equipped with AASM-250 HAMMER active-jet guided aerial bombs and AGM-88B/D Block 3/6 HARM anti-radar missiles. Such data is provided by the "Russian Weapon".

"Urgent! Interception of multi-purpose tactical aircraft of the Armed Forces of Ukraine over the Belgorod region. Information is being received about the interception by the Russian Aerospace Forces of two units of tactical aviation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Liptsovsky and Volchansky operational directions," the message said

The Ukrainian fighters intended to strike the infrastructure of Belgorod, as well as disable the illumination and guidance radar of the 92H6 anti-aircraft missile system S-400. To do this, they planned to use the tactics of maneuvering in ultra-low-altitude mode, reaching the boundaries of the use of weapons at an altitude of about 50 meters.

The interception was carried out by Russian Su-35S fighters armed with R-37M ultra-long-range air combat missiles. Apparently, the enemy was destroyed long before reaching the launch lines, which indicates the high efficiency and readiness of the Russian aerospace forces.

Successful interception prevents possible attacks on important infrastructure and radar systems, which could significantly weaken the region's defense capability.

Ukraine's largest marine drone attack on Crimea has been repelled
Helicopters of the naval aviation of the Russian Black Sea Fleet destroyed 15 unmanned boats of the Ukrainian Navy during the day. According to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, 12 of these boats tried to carry out an attack against Crimea for only 1.5 hours, which became the largest attack by marine drones during the entire conflict.

Footage of the destruction of boats distributed by the Ministry of Defense demonstrates the effectiveness of naval aviation helicopters using standard weapons to neutralize the threat. As a result of the attack, damage to strategically important facilities and infrastructure of Crimea was prevented.

The attempted attack by Ukrainian unmanned boats indicates the desire of the Ukrainian forces to strike at Russian positions on the peninsula and demonstrate their combat capability. However, the coordinated actions of the Black Sea Fleet made it possible to quickly and effectively repel the attack.

Analysts note that the use of unmanned boats to attack Crimea indicates the development of tactics and technologies used by Ukrainian forces during the conflict. Nevertheless, the successful destruction of boats by Russian helicopters underlines the high level of training and technical equipment of the Black Sea Fleet.

Следующие три новости как раз достойны того слова, которое мы недавно обсуждали здесь. Получается, что пока возможности укропов для ударов не снижаются, а растут. Значит надо давить сильнее, чтобы эти возможности снижались.
 
We are slowly moving forward. Zybino was released.
From the latest news, the village of Zybino is occupied near Volchansk.

The night attack of ukrops was more extensive than previously indicated.
Over the past day, 140 UAVs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from three directions and 20 marine drones were launched in the Crimea and Krasnodar Territory. Attacks were noted in the area of Cape Fiolent, Balaklava, Sevastopol Bay. The 31st Air Force and Air Defense Division shot down 46 UAVs, five were suppressed by electronic warfare. Another 9 were shot down by the Crimean defense rifle detachments.
One of the suppressed drones was still able to reach the Balakovo thermal power plant, which left most of the city without electricity.
60 drones were shot down over Novorossiysk and its approaches. The targets of the attacks are standard - infrastructure, oil depots. It was the biggest attack of ITS time.

Ukrops are trying by any means, as they say-even with a carcass, even with a scarecrow, to drag at least someone into a conflict, realizing that this is the only chance for them (of course, I mean the authorities, and not the people at all) to survive. It is best if it is the USA.
Ukraine has asked the United States to identify targets in Russia that Kiev can strike with its weapons
Ukraine has appealed to the administration of US President Joe Biden with a request to assist in identifying targets on Russian territory that Kiev can strike with its weapons. This is reported by The Wall Street Journal with reference to American officials.

In particular, the Ukrainian side asked to lift the ban on the use of American weapons for attacks on territory deep in Russia. Kiev's request concerns the lifting of restrictions on the use of precision weapons provided by the United States as part of military assistance.

The Ukrainian authorities believe that the ability to strike targets in Russia will significantly increase their military capabilities and allow them to more effectively resist Russian forces. Kiev emphasizes that such measures are necessary to ensure the security of the country and deter aggression.

American officials have not yet given an official response to this request. The Biden administration continues to discuss the issue and assess the potential risks and consequences of such a step. Earlier, Washington has repeatedly stated the importance of restraint and the need to avoid escalation of the conflict.
Украина попросила США определить цели в России, по которым Киев может нанести удар своим оружием

Укропы пытаются любыми путями, как говорится-хоть тушкой, хоть чучелом, затянуть хоть кого-нибудь в конфликт, понимая, что это единственный для них (естественно имеются ввиду власти, а вовсе не народ) шанс на выживание. Лучше всего, если это будут США.
 
Scott Ritter takes the gloves off on the subject of Germany. A truly scathing rebuke begins at 28:00 with Nima’s question about Olaf Schulz’ remarks about May 8. “Scratch a German get a Nazi!”. Ritter has never been accused of being even-tempered, but this one’s for the books!
It appears that if Germany's handlers are savage and vindictive those actions like boomerangs will return to it. Again.
 
Terrorists continue to engage in terrorism. What else should they do?
During the night, 61 Ukrainian drones were shot down over the territory of Russia
The Russian Defense Ministry announced the results of the night operation to repel attacks by drones and ATACMS missiles. Over the past night, air defense systems have shot down 61 drones and nine ATACMS missiles.

Why do terrorists need a gas compressor station? They don't need it at all, it just takes up space.
The Bilche-Volitsa gas compressor station, the second largest in Europe, in the Lviv region, was destroyed
As a result of a series of strikes in the Lviv region in western Ukraine, the Bilche-Volitsa gas compressor station, the second most powerful in Europe, was destroyed. Information about significant damage to the facility was received from local authorities and confirmed by independent sources.

The Bilche-Volitsa gas compressor station played a key role in ensuring gas supply not only to Ukraine, but also to other European countries. Its capacity made it possible to transport significant volumes of natural gas, which made it a strategically important object of the region's energy infrastructure.

The attack on the station took place at night. The damage turned out to be significant, and the restoration of the station will require significant time and financial costs.

All the main buildings were destroyed, the GSCHU (management), the SRB (operation and equipment), the administrative building, the entrance (security alarm), the GPA (very substantial damage). Worn-out gas pipelines are still available.

We continue to move forward slowly. The long-suffering village of Kleshchyevka changed hands many times during the war and now there is nothing left of it, most likely.
The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation knocked out the enemy from Kleshcheyevka
Reports of another success of the Russian army are coming from the zone of the special military operation. According to the latest data, Russian troops, having inflicted a fire defeat on the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the area of Kleshcheyevka, knocked out enemy units that had suffered losses from this settlement.

According to the latest data, Russian troops, having reached the western flank of the enemy, who remained in Kleshcheyevka, attacked him from the west and from the east. In such a situation, the AFU garrison found itself in a fire bag. The survivors retreated to the southwest – in the direction of the Seversky Donets-Donbass canal.

Official reports on the complete liberation of Kleshcheyevka from the Armed Forces have not yet been received, however, Russian military commanders from the field report that more than 97% of the village's territory is under the control of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The remaining areas are being cleaned up.

The capture of Kleshcheyevka became possible thanks to carefully planned and effectively implemented operations by Russian troops.

On this Crimean Bridge or somewhere nearby, it is necessary to create something like a memorial indicating the number and types of ammunition and weapons used to destroy it. That would be impressive right now, but it's not over yet.
At least 12 Storm Shadow missiles were launched on the Crimean Bridge
The Russian air defense forces are repelling a massive attack by the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the Crimean Bridge. The S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems and the Pantsir-S1 anti-aircraft missile and cannon systems are attempting to shoot down at least 12 inconspicuous low-altitude SCALP-EG missiles launched by the Ukrainian Su-24M. Such data is provided by the Telegram channel "Russian Weapons".

According to preliminary information, the missiles were launched from the southern territory of Ukraine, and their trajectories passed through Berdyansk and west of Mariupol, heading towards the Kerch Strait. The prompt intervention of Russian air defense systems prevented possible destruction and losses.

The S-400 and Pantsir-S1 systems have demonstrated high efficiency in conditions of intense attack. The SCALP-EG missiles, which have a high degree of stealth and a low flight path, were detected in a timely manner.

An official statement from the Russian Defense Ministry is expected.
По Крымскому мосту запущены не менее 12 ракет Storm Shadow

Мы продолжаем потихоньку продвигаться вперед. Многострадальный посёлок Клещеевка за время войны много раз переходил из рук в руки и теперь от него ничего не осталось, скорее всего.
На этом Крымском мосту или где-нибудь рядом надо создать что то типа мемориала с указанием количества и типов боеприпасов и вооружения, примененных с целью его разрушения. Это уже сейчас было бы впечатляющим, а ведь еще ничего не закончилось.
 
We continue to move forward slowly.
The liberation of this village is worthy of special mention. A lot of effort was spent on this and a lot of attempts were made. It finally happened.

One could make a thread with reports about NATO soldiers losing their life under suspicious circumstances. When translated to English, the following goes:
Danish soldier has died in a parachute accident in the Netherlands
The circumstances surrounding the parachute accident are still unclear, according to the Defence Forces.

Monday 20 May 2024, at 08.07

A Danish soldier has died during a privately arranged parachute trip in the Netherlands.

This is stated by the Defence Forces in a press release around midnight on Sunday.

The defense does not provide further details about the person in question. The next of kin have been informed.

- It is with great sadness that I have received the announcement that one of our soldiers has died in a parachute accident. My thoughts go out to the bereaved and relatives at this difficult time, says Chief of the Army, Major General Peter H. Boysen, in the press release.

The circumstances surrounding the accident are still unclear. Therefore, the Defense informs that there is nothing further to add at this time.

The defense does not state when the accident took place.


/ritzau/
What is most odd above is "privately arranged" which stands in contrast to "the next of kin have been informed" while "circumstances surrounding the accident are still unclear" and "there is nothing further to add at this time".

The mention of "parachute" in relation to soldier would in most cases mean these soldiers, unless the person in question had parachuting as a hobby, or was a fighter pilot. The above Wiki has if translated:
Hunter soldier or Hunter in the army, is a specially trained soldier from the Army's special operations force who is able to solve a wide range of physically and mentally demanding tasks. Hunter soldiers are part of the Hunter Corps, which can be deployed from the air, at sea or over land and solve patrol and combat tasks behind an enemy's lines. Internationally, the Hunter corps are often the first in unknown areas and work here with threat assessments, reconnaissance, personal protection, etc. As a fully trained hunter soldier, you have a duty to serve outside the country's borders, e.g. in peacekeeping and peacemaking tasks under NATO, the UN and the OSCE.

Hunter soldiers are often deployed, on exercise and training. The hunting corps is based at Flyvestation Aalborg.

The training as a hunter soldier is made up of various courses and educations, which provide skills to survive under difficult conditions. You get, among other things, teaching in survival techniques, combat swimming and parachuting - both in daylight and in the dark.
Nothing can be said for sure, but wouldn't it qualify for the list of possibly killed-in-action soldiers from the US alliance.

The Russian army has launched an offensive in another direction (MAP)

The Russian army has launched an offensive in another direction on the border in the Kharkiv region, seeking to close the flanks.

The movement towards the settlement of Zelenoe is evidenced by the map of the DS military analytical resource working for the GUR. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine also confirms that there were attacks by Russian troops.

Zelenoye is located near the border, between the two current directions of the offensive of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation — towards Volchansk and Lipetsk.

Russian sources report that in this way the Russians want to "close the flanks" of two directions — Volchansky and Liptsovsky.

President Zelensky is coming to an end, but the war criminal Zelensky remains and it will never end, because war crimes do not have a statute of limitations.
Zelensky's term of office expires on May 20

MOSCOW, May 20 — RIA Novosti. Vladimir Zelensky's term of office expires on May 20, he will cease to be the legitimate president of Ukraine.
Presidential elections in the neighboring republic were to be held on March 31, 2024, and the inauguration of the newly elected head of state would take place in May. But the vote was canceled, citing martial law and general mobilization. Zelensky stated that the elections are now "not the time", stressing that an end should be put to this issue.

According to the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, the head of the Kiev regime "feels the vulnerability of his positions" and "on the eve of the expiration of his term of office on May 20, he is desperately trying to get rid of the "unreliable". As specified in the special service, large-scale purges in the army, reshuffles in the government, the leadership of the SBU and the National Security and Defense Council are being carried out in Ukraine.
Russian President Vladimir Putin noted that the question of Zelensky's legitimacy after the expiration of his powers as head of state should be answered by the political and legal systems of Ukraine itself. The Russian leader recalled that in the constitution of the neighboring country "there are all sorts of options", which should be evaluated by the Constitutional Court of the republic.

At the same time, as Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov noted, Moscow will analyze the situation with the expiration of Zelensky's term of office in order to declare its position.
The day before, the American newspaper The Washington Post reported that under the circumstances, the head of the Kiev regime could be accused of undermining democracy in Ukraine.
Срок президентских полномочий Зеленского истекает 20 мая

А почему только про НАТО? Там далеко не только НАТО, например недавно мне попадалась новость про двух уничтоженных бразильцах.
А вот что сказала Захарова по этому поводу..
При нехватке резервов у укропов надо растягивать линию боевого соприкосновения.
Президент Зеленский кончается, но остается военный преступник Зеленский и это никогда не кончится, т.к. военные преступления не имеют срока давности.
