A photo appeared of a Russian T-55 tank that Russia is using to fight in the war.

This is a Soviet tank that was produced in 1958-1979.

AOC on the CNN Trump disaster:

“This falls squarely on CNN. Everyone here saw exactly what was going to happen. Instead they put a sexual abuse victim in harm’s way for views. This was a choice to platform lies about the election & Jan 6th w/ no plan but to have their moderator interrupted without consequence.”

Your reminder CNN both-sides’d Trump since 2016.

And CNN is owned by Trump supporter John Malone

Boycott CNN forever.

Going out to breakfast now. Biscuits and gravy on the menu.

Regarding the situation in the Bakhmut area, Prigozhin has expressed concern that the situation on the flanks is developing in the worst possible way for the Russians. The territories that were taken with the blood and lives of Wagner's men over months, with daily advances of tens or hundreds of meters, are now being abandoned without much of a fight by those who were supposed to defend them. However, it is not the regular army of the Russian Federation that is abandoning the positions, but rather Wagner's men. The Titans are doing incredible work, and it is thanks to them, rather than abandoning positions, that they are able to make progress. This is what Biletsky and the soldiers of the 3rd Assault Brigade have publicly spoken about.

Advisor Paul Massaro to the US Commission on Security in Europe stated that Storm Shadows are a powerful tool to gain victory in the war, as they have made all Russian military positions vulnerable, including the Kerch bridge. This means that Russian supplies must be moved further away from the front lines.

Russian forces conducted a missile strike on Toretsk, resulting in at least six people being injured, according to the head of the President's Office.

'The UK Defence Secretary Ben Wallace has confirmed that all of the Challenger 2 tanks that have been transferred to Ukraine have arrived.'

Since the de-occupation of Kyiv region, the head of the National Police of Kyiv region, Andriy Nebytov, has reported that 1374 bodies of compatriots have been found, with 717 of them killed by firearms. Unfortunately, 191 of the bodies remain unidentified and 281 people are still missing.

Mykola Oleshchuk was responsible for shooting down the Dagger.

Thanks to the air defense systems provided to Ukraine by its allies, most missiles flying towards Kyiv are now being intercepted. At the start of the full-scale invasion, however, there were numerous impacts on residential buildings in the capital, as well as enemy artillery reaching Kyiv. The before and after photos demonstrate the most prominent hits on residential buildings; almost all of them have been restored or are in the process of being repaired. Unfortunately, there are some houses, such as the one on Zhylianska Street, that cannot be restored.

There is a potential risk of enemy aircrafts carrying out tactical operations in the Bryansk and Kursk regions of the Russian Federation, as well as the possibility of them using Combat Airborne Bombs (CABs).

I congratulate the Ukrainian people on this historic event! We successfully shot down the Dagger missile during a night attack on May 4 in the sky of Kyiv region. The X-47 missile was fired by a MiG-31K from the territory of Russia. We will report the details of the event in due time, so there is no need to panic. Whenever we hear loud explosions in the air, my daughter always reassures the neighbors by saying that our air defense system is working. Let us all talk to our neighbors, help each other in difficult times, and have faith in our Air Force and air defense. Ukraine will win!

Due to the expected rise in electricity consumption during the summer, lights will be turned off in order to conserve power. This is because there is a deficit of 1.5 gigawatts of power that should have been replaced by thermal power plants, but DTEK does not want to burn coal to make up for the deficit as they have issues with coal production and would not have enough time to accumulate coal before winter. This was stated by Yuriy Korolchuk, energy expert and co-founder of the Energy Strategy Foundation.

80 Leopard 1 tanks, which are being transferred by Denmark and Germany, will be prepared for use in Ukraine by June 1st, according to the acting Danish Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen.

Yeah! Bring on the tanks
