The explosions targeted the battalion’s deployment area, with one blast near a checkpoint and another at a site housing personnel, hitting troops, equipment, and special assets. Locals reported at least 10 ambulances and an evacuation helicopter at the scene, with damaged equipment being removed. Russian authorities claimed the blasts resulted from two gas cylinders exploding, causing no casualties, and imposed a “counter-terrorism operation” regime, blocking roads between Shamora Bay and Shchitovaya village.

Farmers will be finding pieces of this rocket launcher for decades.

x A Russian “Grad” BM-21 rocket system was destroyed by the 414th Unmanned Systems Regiment “Magyar Birds,” a Ukrainian drone unit specializing in precision strikes.

An update on the killing of the Russian responsible for the bombing of Mariupol. Looks like they won’t be erecting any monuments to him.

x Russian propaganda channels are comedy gold right now. Apparently, the eliminated Zaur Gurtsiev was gay, or at least they think he was. They’re so entrenched in anti-gay rhetoric that it’s rivaling their obsession with anti-Ukraine narratives. Now they cant decide who to blame Ukraine or his gayness

These are just the documented losses.

Russia’s new jet-powered drone has already been shot down.

x Ukrainian Defense Intelligence Warriors destroyed, presumably, Russia's latest Dan-M jet-powered drone over the Black Sea. On May 29, 2025, a mobile air defense missile system equipped with R-73 was successfully used to repel a nighttime enemy drone attack on the Odesa region. Glory!

They’re going to need a new truck.

x The occupiers on the Kherson front used a Ural-4320 truck to transport a mortar with ammunition, but a nighttime visit from the "Vampire" drone made some adjustments to their plans.

Another 1,140 Russians who should have stayed home.

I’m shocked — SHOCKED — that ethnic minorities are dying at a higher rate than soldiers from Moscow.

x Here’s what we are reading today: Over 110,000 Russian troops died during the war. Men from poor regions like Tyva and Altai are 30–40x more likely to die than those from Moscow. In Tyva, 25% of those killed were convicted prisoners.

Russia treats its railroad as badly as we treat Amtrak.

x ‼️ Russia: “"The Treasury is Empty." The Budget Didn't Find Money to Help Russian Railways” Keep in mind that there really isn’t much of a difference between the government & Russian Railways It is 100% owned by the government. www.moscowtimes.ru/2025/05/30/k...

Ukraine could use an Italian-supplied Storm Shadow and just say it was one of the ones the French or British sent.

x 🇮🇹🚫 Italy does not intend to lift restrictions on the use of long-range weapons supplied to Ukraine, - Il Fatto Quotidiano 👀🚀 Although the contents of Italy’s 11 military aid packages to Ukraine remain classified, it is known that the country has provided Storm Shadow missiles to Kyiv.

Puff away, Russia.

Coincidence? Nah.

Kim and Putin don’t give a shit what monitors say. This will continue until/unless someone actually does something about it, which means it will go on indefinitely.

x ⚡️North Korea sent Russia at least 100 ballistic missiles last year, monitors find. Illegal arms transfers "contributed to Moscow's ability to increase its missile attacks against Ukrainian cities including targeted strikes against critical civilian infrastructure."

It’s dangerous to travel above Moscow and now it’s dangerous to travel underneath Moscow.

Russia continues to target Kharkiv.

Russia also targeted humanitarian aid in Izium.

Japan steps up.

If Russia can find enough donkeys, they can put together a mounted cavalry unit.

Marijuana soup?

Ukrainians understand and appreciate the sacrifices being made for their nation.
