From lectures/interviews by Tim Snyder, a smarter dude than me. Worth paying attention to because he’s been trying to raise the alarm that Russia really does intend to implement genocide in Ukraine. Based on watching a lot of US and Euro news content I think the west still doesn’t really appreciate this reality. I think we accept the fact that it’s an imperialist war, but not fully that the Russians will destroy everything they can in Ukraine and if they win they’ll kill millions. The issue of nukes is tied into this. Maybe the Russians don’t want all-out nuclear war with the west, but I believe that Russia can see nukes as part of the program to destroy Ukraine. There’s a phrase that goes “first in the mind, then in the mouth, then in the deed.” Genocidal rhetoric is a predictor or even a prerequisite to genocidal action. The Russian people are being primed with the idea that Ukraine doesn’t really exist and the so-called “Ukrainians” should be destroyed by any means necessary. When that becomes a common belief which any Russian can talk about in perfectly normal everyday conversation, it’s a short step to acting on that belief. |

Head of RT says winning this war is more meaningful than WWII Said without a shred of irony. I really don't comprehend their worldview. Ukraine never had a right to be a sovereign independent nation? Really? WTF do they think the United States is? Former colonies that declared independence and throw off their colonial rulers! Ukraine doesn't want you! You signed treaties, you are part of the UN, so your entire invasion is bullshit! Ruskie go home! |

God Bless the Ukrainian forces. I am very happy watching these initial successes.

It's also sobering to realize that while the fronts aren't exactly congruous, the overall length was actually similar, but there were almost 3,000,000 combatants plus almost a million reserves brought up. By comparison, the current Russian front line is held well below WW1 outpost standards, and in 1916 the advance was on foot. I honestly can't see Russia holding if there's a breakthrough anywhere. |

All the dirty details on the prisoner exchange. They are not allowed yet to return to Ukraine. Must criticize Ukraine and. Praise the ROC at a press conference. No timeline or info about if or when they will be released. Releasing to a third party without consent of their home country is supposed to be against international law on prisoners.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FyS0K3AWwAMfZPB?format=jpg&name=medium Info on the Arrow 3 here. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrow_3 The Arrow 3 or Hetz 3 (Hebrew: חֵץ 3, pronounced [ˈχet͡s]) is an exoatmospheric hypersonic anti-ballistic missile, jointly funded, developed and produced by Israel and the United States. Undertaken by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) and Boeing, it is overseen by the Israeli Ministry of Defense's "Homa" (Hebrew: חומה, pronounced [χoma], "rampart") administration and the U.S. Missile Defense Agency. It provides exo-atmospheric interception of ballistic missiles (during the space-flight portion of their trajectory), including intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs)[3][4] carrying nuclear, chemical, biological or conventional warheads. With divert motor capability, its kill vehicle can switch directions dramatically, allowing it to pivot to see approaching satellites.[5] The missile's reported flight range is up to 2,400 km (1,500 mi).[6] All the pieces are coming together. I agree. I think Europe is starting to accept the reality that Russian nuclear threats require a response. |

Anyone in those woods nearby is having a really bad day. One thing that some of the before/after drone sequences convinced me of was how artillery hits that look somewhat innocuous on camera are actually horrendous. The K2 battalion videos on “battle for T-shaped” showed 81 or 120mm mortar hits that didn't seem close enough, or didn't seem to have much effect on exposed personnel, but the on-the-ground video shows everyone there turned into hamburger. |

Russian Sources are reporting that Heavy Battles are still ongoing along the Front between the Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk Regions with Ukrainian Forces launching Major Frontal Assaults with “Significant Equipment and Manpower” while additional Forces undertook Flanking Attacks; these Assaults have caused the Withdrawal of Russian Forces from the Town of Neskuchne, which is just to the Southwest of Velyka Novosilka, to prevent their Encirclement by Ukrainian Forces who have since managed to Capture the Town.

On this front, there are very few off the shelf options available. For a kamikaze FPV drone, a larger racing quad could probably work. If they want a pre-built package, that's going to be tough as there just aren't that many COTS versions pre-built. What I'm finding is that even a lot of the parts kits are backordered at least here in the US.

⚠️ The water level in the ZNPP cooling pond is stable
Despite the Russian occupiers blowing up the Kakhovskaya HPP dam, the situation remains stable and under control. As of 06:00 on June 11, the water level in the Kakhovsky reservoir in the Nikopol area is 9.45 m, and in the cooling pond of the Zaporizhzhya NPP - 16.67 m, and this is quite enough to meet the plant's needs. It is worth reminding that the ZNPP power units have not been operating since September 2022, and therefore active evaporation of water from the cooling pond has not occurred since then. ‼️ Follow the information only on official resources! UPD: As of 08:00 on June 11, the level of the Kakhovsky reservoir in the Nikopol area is 9.35 m. #ZNPP https://t.me/energoatom_ua/13509 💬 The water level in the Kakhovka reservoir continues to decline, - Ukrhydroenergo. As of 08:00 on June 11, the water level of the Kakhovka reservoir in the Nikopol area is 9.35, having decreased by more than a meter in a day, and since the explosion - by more than 7 meters. https://t.me/ragnarockkyiv/52311
❗️The water level in the Kherson region dropped by 26 cm overnight. 32 de-occupied settlements remain flooded. 2,716 people were evacuated on the right bank. The situation remains worse on the Left Bank. The weapons warehouses of the Russian occupiers were washed away there. According to the spokeswoman of OK "South", the current is currently carrying ammunition and mines into the sea and to the shores. https://t.me/zsuwar/32755 |
