This article by UK Economist seems to be claiming that Russia is spending 6% of GDP on defense (half on Ukraine, half the regular peacetime amount), 2 points less than what Russian officials announced and suggests that it is due to Putin's concern with his popularity as the 2024 elections come around the corner.

"Sources: Anatoly Karlin; Benjamin Hildenstock; CIA; Congressional Research Service;
Elina Ribakova; IMF; Janis Kluge; Mark Harrison; Philippe Lemoine; The Economist"

The main objective of rhetoric of Russian doomers, this includes Prizoghin and Girkin along with an array of Russian influencers & war commentators is not an end to the war but an intense desire for Russia to "take this war seriously" and upgrade it from SMO to a larger scale war with vastly greater expenditures & recruitment of material and manpower.

It is evident that the Russian political top intend to keep the war going at a steady and lower-intensity pace than the first two phases at least in the near term. The lack of large scale offensive actions since July 2022 suggests that the funding has been diverted to defense & integration efforts, production and the reserve army.

Confirmed Russian tank losses during the war with Ukraine.................
Are like the 'confirmed' kills of all the German Tiger aces during WW2-Fiction!
Unique photos for each, catalogued, and geolocated where possible. Images are routinely scrubbed for Photoshop jobs and duplicates. Oryx is the gold standard for OSINT.

Please dont sink to ljadw's levels of mindless conspiracy theories ?

Mad Dog
The boss of Oryx, Stijn Mitzer, worked ( is still working ? ) for Bellingcat, which is funded by the NED. The NED receives every year $ millions from US Congress and is nothing more than a sophisticated CIA.
Who pays the piper,calls the tune .
Once a CIA agent, always a CIA agent .
Besides :Mitzer and Oliemans hide every information about their lives and about Oryx .
How many people work at Oryx ? Secret
What is their source ? Secret
Who funds them ? Secret
How much money do they receive every year ? Secret
What are their expenses ? Secret
WHY do they receive money ? Secret
What are their political opinions ? Secret
Bellingcat worked for the CIA, Mitzer worked for Bellingcat, now Mitzer has created Oryx ( why ? with what money ? ) and refuses to publish the names of those who fund him and refuses to tell how this money is used .
The conclusion is obvious .
Thus: why should we accept unconditionally as truth everything that Oryx is claiming ?

"At the moment, the Akhmat units and the 5th brigade, with fire support from the artillerymen of the 150th division, are storming Maryinka. At the same time, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to counterattack to the south."

Ukrainian officials announced that they are going into 'operational silence', less reporting on what they are doing.

"Russia's factory activity expands for 13th month running in May"

https://www.reuters.com/markets/europe/ ... 023-06-01/

"The S&P Global Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) for manufacturing rose to 53.5 from 52.6 in April, moving further above the 50 mark that separates expansion from contraction.

"Overall growth was supported by faster expansions in output and new orders, with employment rising at the sharpest pace for 22-1/2 years," S&P Global said in a statement."
The 'upcoming counteroffensive' coincides with claims from the West/Ukraine that:

1. They are completely exhausted with reserve ammunition and pgm supply for the next couple of years.
2. Ukrainian anti-air defenses "will collapse in May 2023" due to the complete exhaustion of S-300 missiles

This suggests that the Ukrainian counteroffensive is a high-risk proposition, like a German late 1944-1945 operation. Instead of supporting a few months more of defense, the reserves of ammunition would be quickly expended and lost in an offensive if they choose to do so.

Without ammunition, they only have infantry and AFVs left. The recent border clashes, unless they are associated with a counteroffensive can be considered just propaganda raids to prove to the West that 'they are doing something'.

However all of this could be part of a coordination information warfare operation by Ukr/US/NATO. They could have easily transferred their own strategic reserve to Ukraine and lied about it in the media.

Meanwhile, the half-awake Russian bear will continue to slowly rape Ukraine to death with 100 forks sticking out of its ass.

The terrorists group have a video up which they claim to be their troops in the 'suburb of Shebekino'.

This is a grab from their film

and this is the actual location

They lie and say they are entering Shebekinsky when in fact they simply run across the border for less than 2km and then scurry back to safety when Russian troops turn up.

A more precise measurement show sthat the terrorists are only 1.13 km from the border. That is one verry deep thrust into enemy territory!

Ukraine has gone 'radio silent'. Russian MOD claims that 6/4 is the first day of the Ukrainian counteroffensive at Z-Oblast front:

Image

" On the morning of June 4, the enemy launched a large-scale offensive in five sectors of the front in the South Donetsk direction with the introduction of 23 and 31 mechanized brigades from the strategic reserves of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the support of other military units and subunits.

◽️ A total of six mechanized and two tank battalions of the enemy were involved.

◽️ The enemy's goal was to break through our defenses in the most vulnerable, in his opinion, sector of the front.

◽️ The enemy did not achieve its tasks, had no success.

◽️ As a result of the skillful and competent actions of the "Eastern" group of troops, the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine amounted to more than 250 personnel, 16 tanks, three infantry fighting vehicles, 21 armored combat vehicles.

◽️ The commander of the joint group of forces - Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, General of the Army V.V. Gerasimov during this period was at one of the advanced command posts in this direction."

Rybar:

"In the tactical group "Maroon", which, apparently, will form the shock backbone of the offensive forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the organization of communications and battle management systems between airborne assault formations (46 AEAMBR, 82 Airborne Brigade, 71 EBR and 132 reconnaissance battalion) "

Today's attack involved 4 brigades (110th, 23rd, 37th, 31st). There is Russian social media footage claiming to be the destruction of 10 vehicles from the 31st brigade.

There is a new Flakpanzer Gepard fan in the world. He is fascinated by two barrels of the Gepard.

Vladimir Solovyov -- the most hideous, most aggressive Kremlin propagandist who (officially) hates the West. But he sent all his daughters to the USA and they live there.

I see that you continue to deny that peace is bad for those who produce weapons .


The fact that peace might not be good for various weapons manufacturers is irrelevant. I simply am not concerned about the feelings of said companies.

This is yet another red herring you introduce as part of your fevered Q-Anon fantasies.

Said weapons manufacturers did not invade UKR. RU did. Thats where the blame goe
Apparently more than enough people agree with me (outside of the US) that UKR needs and deserves weapons, and RU is to blame for starting the war. Did you hear the Finns just joined NATO ? Are they part of the US weapons manufactuers conspiracy ?

Stick that in your Q-pipe and smoke it.

Why would Russia be to blamed for starting a war ?
Are you an Ukrainian ?
Only the Ukrainians can blame Russia, not the US : Europe is not a US colony and a war between 2 non NATO members is not the business of DC .
