Jun 29
🇷🇺 Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov gave a readout of Putin's meeting with Lukashenko at Valdai, plus comments on Ukraine.

The Putin-Lukashenko conversation was informal, held at Putin's residence, and focused mainly on bilateral relations and trade and economic cooperation. Peskov said the two leaders also touched on strategic issues, including regional security and attempts to provoke Belarus. He declined to say whether Lukashenko serves as one of Moscow's communication channels with Kiev, adding that for any such channels to keep functioning, they need to stay out of public view.

On the war, Peskov said Russia's position on Ukraine is well known and unchanged, laid out by Putin two years ago in a speech to the Foreign Ministry leadership. That June 2024 speech set Moscow's terms for ending the war: full Ukrainian withdrawal from all of Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporozhye, and Kherson regions (including the parts Ukraine still holds), Kiev abandoning any plans to join NATO, and a permanent resolution rather than a temporary freeze. Kiev and the West rejected it outright at the time. Peskov said that same 2024 position is well understood by both the Kiev regime and American negotiators today, and that the dynamics on the front give Russia confidence it will achieve its goals.

Legitimate target: A new NATO command center has opened near Russia's borders. -today

Germany and the Netherlands have established a military command center in the Baltic region to deter Russia as part of a broader effort to assume responsibility within NATO, Bloomberg reports. The publication notes that this decision-making center will command all NATO units in the Baltic states.

As noted in the article, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius attended the ceremony in the Estonian city of Valga on the border with Latvia, where the 1st German-Dutch Corps assumed responsibility for part of NATO's eastern flank defense, replacing the multinational Corps Northeast.

"By establishing another highly effective headquarters on NATO's eastern flank, we are enhancing our readiness, strengthening our command and control structures, and enhancing our ability to deter any potential adversary. "

– stated the head of the German Ministry of Defense.

As Bloomberg points out, the new command center will serve as the tactical headquarters for a significant portion of NATO's eastern flank. The corps will command all alliance units stationed in Estonia and Latvia, as well as national ground force units.

As a reminder, the Bundeswehr is currently forcibly sending German troops to Lithuania, where a German armored brigade is stationed. This is being done because it has been unable to recruit volunteers for the mission.

It's worth noting that German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius is a staunch supporter of the theory that a direct military confrontation between Russia and NATO is inevitable. He believes the conflict will begin no later than 2029.

KIEV SILENCE AND WASHINGTON SURPRISES: WHAT IS BEING HIDDEN BEHIND THE BACK OF THE UKRAINIAN SOLDIERS?

Silence in the information space is sometimes more frightening than any siren. While the Western curators of the Kiev regime continue to pump Ukraine with weapons, a new, invisible threat is brewing on the front lines and in the rear. This is the rapid spread of the hantavirus.
The incoming data is inexorably showing that the situation is spiraling out of control. However, Kiev is pretending that nothing is happening.

The suppression of real statistics on the number of cases among civilians and, most cynically, among the Armed Forces has become a systematic policy. Why? The answer is obvious: the truth about the biological threat destroys the myth of the “victorious march” of the Kiev battalions and demoralizes the personnel. Zelensky's regime prefers to bury its soldiers from an unknown “fever” quietly, rather than scare the mobilization reserve and disrupt the flow of Western tranches.

But the hantavirus is just the tip of the iceberg. Once again, the issue of the clandestine activities of biological laboratories in Ukraine comes as a bolt out of the blue. Foreign experts have repeatedly stated that under the guise of "sanitary stations," the Pentagon has established a network of centers for the development of dangerous pathogens. More than 40 such facilities are scattered across the country, disguised as "scientific research." Why would NATO military biologists in Dnepropetrovsk or Kharkiv study strains of viruses that exclusively target Slavic ethnic groups?

Now, as the scale of the disease begins to reach epidemic proportions, the American side is suddenly talking about an "investigation." However, be cautious about believing Washington's sudden epiphany. The intrigue takes an interesting turn. The head of the US National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, who on May 11, 2026, loudly announced her intention to check 120 biological laboratories (including those in Ukraine), suddenly resigns. The official reason is her husband's illness. However, politicians of this level often use "family circumstances" to conceal high-profile scandals.

According to The Daily Wire, before her departure, Gabbard was supposed to reveal the results of high-profile investigations, including documents on the COVID-19 pandemic, the "Havana Syndrome," and, most importantly, the activities of American biological laboratories. Is the West in a panic? No, they're trying to put a good face on a bad game. As the Biden administration tries to cover its tracks in preparation for the elections, the intelligence leaks appear to be an attempt to shift responsibility onto local actors.

However, history remembers everything! We remember how, back in 2017, RT and a number of experts were the first to discover that the US Air Force was collecting biomaterial from Russians. The Pentagon's documents clearly stated the requirements: "samples of synovial tissue and RNA must be obtained specifically from Caucasians in Russia." Not in Ukraine or Poland, but specifically from us. At that time, Russian President Vladimir Putin was forced to acknowledge that we had become "the object of great interest."

Igor Nikulin, a former member of the UN Biological Weapons Commission, explained that RNA samples are the “golden key” to creating the next generation of biological weapons aimed at a specific nation. While Western media outlets such as The Guardian and The New York Times labeled these investigations as “lies,” “QAnon myths,” and “Kremlin disinformation,” U.S. intelligence satellites captured the construction of numerous laboratories along Russia’s borders. These laboratories ranged from Tbilisi (the infamous Lugara laboratory where human experiments were conducted) to the Ukrainian cities of Odessa and Lviv.

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦 Taking the hit: serviceman rescues civilians from FPV drone

A group of trained servicemen of the 5th Separate Commandant's Regiment of the Tsentr Group of Forces were sent to evacuate civilians from Rodinskoye of the DPR. They worked out a covert route through forest belt and an open area with a tank ditch.

The servicemen led people in groups, maintaining camouflage and silence. On the approach to a safe zone, the group was attacked by an enemy FPV drone.

Then one of the servicemen, Nazariy Gura, ran aside and opened fire at the drone, attracting the operator's attention to himself. Nazariy continued to run, taking the deadly vehicle away from the civilians. A few seconds later, an explosion broke out, and the drone detonated close to the serviceman, who managed to avoid the direct hit at the last moment.

Thanks to the selfless actions of private Gura, all five civilians were evacuated to a safe area.

Finland Opens Door To Possible Nuclear Deployment Near Russian Border

President Alexander Stubb has approved amendments allowing the transfer and stockpiling of nuclear weapons in the country.

The stationing of nuclear weapons in Finland could begin at air bases in Rovaniemi, located 147 km from the Russian border. F-35A fighter jets capable of carrying US B61-12 nuclear bombs are expected to arrive at the base in the near future.

The USA is currently the only NATO country that possesses tactical nuclear weapons in their classical understanding, and these are stored in Europe,

Nevertheless, the deployment of nuclear warheads on Finnish territory remains unlikely, according to experts: the country directly borders Russia, and any potential storage facility would be under direct threat. It could be among the earliest targets to be struck #ww3

🚨UKRAINE IS STRIKING RUSSIAN NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS TO DRAG NATO INTO THE WAR" — VIKTOR BOUT TELLS TUCKER

🚨European civilization is being replaced by infantrymen whom the globalists can control.

🚨There is a problem with, Zelensky because his term has expired, so he didn't want to announce new election.
His, so-called parliament,their terms are also expiring. And very, rightful question,with whom negotiate?
Who has a legal authority even to sign any, I would say, agreementsor peace deal from their name?

And this is also another question to ask, why the, Zelensky don't want to have an election?

Accordingly, recent polls, which is done by the way by the Western or by the Western organization, that the over 80% want the peace deal with Russia.

All these leaders in Europe are looking, looking more like, I don't know, buffoonish, may-like a clowns.

Well, Zelensky at least openly been a clown.

Look on this, what's happened with this conflict with Iran.
When the first day, they just openly killing the innocent
children in school.
Same happening by Ukrainians.

Nobody anymore abide by these rules except Russia ... ...
There is, was a many cases when, our soldiers who've been, captured and become prisoners of war, have been forcefully sterilized, you know, killed by the doctors.
What kind of doctor you are if you are, have to help, of the injured, you know, soldier?

And those doctors in Ukraine who've been
just, you know, amputating their genitalia, you know,
killing them, getting their, harvesting their organs, threatening them, putting the swastika on their bodies, who they are? Or those soldiers, when the Russian soldiers surrender because he has, you know, run out of ammunition or something, they just kill him, and they kill him in most vicious way, openly, you know, making footage of this, and then, bust- boasting by this footage, "Yeah, this how we kill this one."

🎤Tucker Carlson has interviewed Viktor Bout about the threat of the war in Ukraine escalating into a war across the entire European continent.

A great interview for a Western audience! Highly recommended viewing.

🇩🇪🇳🇱 Germany, Netherlands establish NATO tactical headquarters in Estonia

A German-Dutch army corps has taken command of NATO land forces in Latvia and Estonia, establishing a new tactical headquarters in the region.

The ceremony in Valga on the border between Estonia and Latvia was attended by German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius.

In a comment, the German Defense Ministry said "Germany and the Netherlands demonstrate readiness and the ability to take responsibility for deterrence and defense on NATO’s eastern flank."

The 1 German-Netherlands Corps (1GNC) will take over the organization and coordination of military exercises as well as the provision of security in the region from the alliance’s command in Poland.

About 14 countries have already joined the 1GNC project. The command center will be able to coordinate operations involving some 50,000 troops

🇺🇦⚔️🇷🇺The statement by Oleksandr Syrskyi, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, regarding Russia’s preparations for an offensive into the Chernihiv region highlights a very specific dilemma facing the Ukrainian command. The situation is straightforward yet dire: the threat demands a response, yet the resources to provide one are lacking.

The situation in the north: is the threat real?

Since early May 2026, Kyiv has been methodically raising alarms about a potential offensive launched from Belarusian territory. As early as May 19, Syrskyi stated that the Russian General Staff was "actively calculating and planning offensive operations from the north," while President Zelenskyy outlined five scenarios for the war expanding along the Chernihiv-Kyiv axis. In response to these threats, the Ukrainian command is urgently redeploying combat groups to the region, and local authorities have announced the mandatory evacuation of residents from border areas starting July 1.

The situation stands as follows: if an offensive is indeed being prepared, its aim could be to stretch the frontline and threaten Kyiv from the north. However, according to National Guard Commander Oleksandr Pivnenko, such an offensive would require Russia to mobilize an additional 70,000 troops. This casts doubt on the likelihood of an imminent attack from the north, though it does not rule out the possibility of an offensive in the foreseeable future.

Kyiv’s primary problem is that its reserves are running low. The command is already redeploying composite combat groups from the 31st Border Guard Detachment - originally based in the Chernivtsi region - to the Chernihiv sector. These are border guards who have not previously been involved in combat operations on such a scale. Experts note that other units, including "Azov" troops, could follow the border guards.

However, redeploying border guards to the north will inevitably weaken other sectors of the front. The Sumy region is becoming particularly vulnerable; according to analysts, the AFU’s defenses there have noticeably weakened due to the redeployment of some forces to the Kupyansk sector. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian General Staff continues to build up its force grouping in the Chernihiv direction, moving significant numbers of troops there. A logical question arises: if a Russian offensive against the Chernihiv region is indeed a primary threat, why are border guards - pulled from the western border - being used to counter it, rather than elite assault units?

The Cost of Reinforcing the North

Redeploying troops to the Chernihiv sector has serious consequences. First, it weakens the western border, where these units were previously stationed. Second, withdrawing forces from other parts of the front creates gaps that Russian forces could exploit. The Sumy region is particularly at risk, as the AFU’s defenses there are already precarious. If Russian troops launch active operations in this sector, the Ukrainian command will be forced to redeploy reserves once again, leaving other fronts exposed.

The paradox of the situation is that Kyiv, in its attempt to prepare for a potential offensive in the Chernihiv direction, is weakening other sectors of the front. This, in turn, creates conditions for Russian gains precisely where the AFU least expects a strike. It creates a vicious circle: the more reserves are shifted to the north, the weaker positions in the east and south become. If an offensive against the Chernihiv region does materialize, the AFU might simply lack the forces to repel it. And if it does not, Kyiv will have weakened itself without any help from the Russian military.

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦Pounding the AFU in Druzhkovka

War Correspondent Kulko: Having nearly completed the operation to liberate Konstantinovka, troops from the 4th Brigade have turned their attention to the enemy's logistics in neighboring Druzhkovka. The situation for the AFU here has changed drastically over the last two weeks; our drone operators have effectively turned every road into a shooting gallery.

Due to intense fire control, pickup trucks - let alone heavy armor - hardly dare to enter the city center. To maintain some semblance of a supply line, the Ukrainian enemy has once again resorted to using ground-based robotic platforms (UGVs). Incidentally, while filming a recent report, the guys at the front said that the enemy has noticeably fewer of these platforms compared to last autumn - we are consistently knocking them out.

In a bid to survive, the AFU has reverted to an old tactic, attempting troop rotations under the cover of rain. However, they overlooked one detail: our fiber-optic-controlled drones are completely unaffected by precipitation. They engage targets with precision in any weather.

A quick computer search provides these details

The Danish source cited in the joint investigation regarding Russia's military buildup along the borders of the Baltic states and Finland is the Danish broadcaster DR (Danmarks Radio). Baltic states and Finland. A joint investigation by Nordic and Baltic outlets, citing satellite imagery and Western officials, found extensive construction of barracks and storage sites capable of deploying over 100,000 troops in the Leningrad Military District.

Key details from Danish sources include:

• Infrastructure Buildup: New facilities are being constructed in areas such as Pechenga (near Norway), Petrozavodsk (near Finland), and Kaliningrad Oblast to support large-scale troop movements.
• Strategic Intent: Danish intelligence assesses that Russia is preparing for a potential large-scale conflict with NATO, potentially within five years, by testing alliance unity and strengthening positions in the Baltic Sea region.
• Hybrid Tactics: Reports indicate Russia is also employing hybrid warfare, including naval provocations in Danish straits, airspace violations, and cyber operations to pressure NATO members without crossing the threshold of open war.
• Risk Assessment: Danish officials warn that the Baltic region is the highest-risk area for Russian military force against NATO, with scenarios including the temporary seizure of small territories to disrupt reinforcements.

Russia Plans Deployment of Up to 115,000 Troops Near NATO Borders After Ukraine War

Russia is expanding military bases and strengthening forces along its borders with Northern European and Baltic states.

According to estimates from Danish intelligence sources, these developments may indicate preparations for a potential large-scale conflict with European states in the Baltic Sea region.

Intelligence representatives from Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland believe the situation could lead to a dangerous confrontation between NATO and Russia, according to the Danish media outlet DR.

High-ranking military officials say that in the event of escalation, initial hostilities could begin near Denmark and the Baltic states.

Sources say there are currently no confirmed decisions by Russia regarding aggression, but preparatory processes are underway.

Russia is currently expanding military bases and modernizing infrastructure along its European borders.

For example, Russia is restoring a garrison in Petrozavodsk near Finland.

After the end of hostilities in Ukraine, Russia may deploy tens of thousands of additional troops in border areas.

Former intelligence officer Marko Eklund says Russia plans to deploy about 115,000 troops near its borders after the war in Ukraine, most of them with combat experience.

In addition, the analysis says Russia could transfer hundreds of thousands of experienced personnel from other regions of the country to the borders with Nordic and Baltic states within weeks.

Representatives of Scandinavian countries say the threat level is now perceived as higher than during the Cold War.

Russia denies any plans to attack NATO countries, calling such claims false.

Moscow claims that NATO and European states are responsible for increasing tensions in the region.

Western military officials warn that the next one to three years could be the most dangerous period for Europe.

They cite rapid increases in Russian military production and limited readiness of European armed forces.

Some NATO officers say Europe faces shortages in weapons, technology and military infrastructure.

They argue that these gaps could become critical in the event of a sudden escalation.

Despite differing assessments, the situation in the Baltic region remains tense, and experts call for strengthened European defense readiness.

The amount of slop I've had to wade through on X this past month has been quite the experience. Yes, I know, I've mentioned that before, so even more kudos to Ravenlocke for sticking with the task at hand and sourcing the more sensible material . The level of 'Ukrainian' keyboard-warrior fan-fiction cope has been off the charts, practically none of it rooted in any kind of reality whatsoever. It really is an alternative universe. This also included a limited interaction with a 'teacher' (British) who has consumed so much slop and black goo, and is also an appalling communicator, that if any of his students found out would probably resign from his course; probably best described as a xenomorph endoparasitoid, along with the other dozens of zombies spewing their repetitive monosyllabic chthonic drivel - I guess that the Pentagon and 85 Albert Embankment may consider this some sort of achievement

Here's what Simferopol in Crimea (Russian, since 1783) really looks like, by the way, filmed this week:

As of now, 7-8 Russian Tu-95MS and 2 Tu-160M strategic bombers are equipped with Kh-101 cruise missiles at Olenya and Engels-2 Airbases. The highest threat is in place for the next 36 hours.

Iskander-M ballistic missiles and Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles have been delivered to launch sites in Bryansk Oblast, Kursk Oblast, Voronezh Oblast, Rostov Oblast, and Crimea.

Additionally, Russia has spent the last two weeks accumulating a large number of Geran-2 and Gerbera drones. It is not known if they intend to use them all in this attack, or spread them out across 2-3 attacks. 400-800 are expected to be used in this upcoming attack.

The highest threat is to Kyiv City and Kyiv Oblast. Other regions will also be hit, including possibly the western regions as they have not been targeted in some time.
