[NYT] Ukraine’s top military commander signaled on Saturday morning that the nation’s forces were ready to launch their long-anticipated counteroffensive following months of preparations, including recently stepped-up attacks on logistical targets as well as feints and disinformation intended to keep Russian forces on edge.
"It’s time to get back what’s ours," Ukraine’s supreme military commander, Gen. Valeriy Zaluzhnyi, wrote in a statement.
The blunt statement, accompanied by a slickly produced video of Ukrainian troops preparing for battle and released on social media, appeared intended to rally a nation weary from 15 months of war and to deepen anxiety within the Russian ranks. But General Zaluzhnyi offered no indication of where and when Ukrainian forces might try to break Russia’s hold on occupied territory.
In many ways, military analysts have noted, the counteroffensive may already have begun.
For weeks, Ukraine has apparently been seeking to set the stage for the campaign and "shape" the battlefield through a series of coordinated strikes deep behind enemy lines aimed at undermining critical Russian logistical operations, degrading Russia’s combat abilities and compromising Moscow’s capacity to move its forces around the battlefield.
In recent days, the tempo and range of attacks deep inside Russian-held territory have increased. While Ukraine’s military has not explicitly claimed responsibility, local Russian proxy officials in occupied areas have reported strikes.
Ukrainian officials have been deliberately vague in outlining their military plans, most likely in hopes of maintaining an element of surprise in what has become a widely telegraphed campaign. They have said that the counteroffensive would not be marked by a single event and would probably feature feints and deceptions at the outset.

" planned attack as a “historic opportunity” that his nation “cannot lose” if it wants to become a “big European country.” Send more money and weapons. Keep the gravy train flowing. Send troops and equipment into the meat grinder. Russia is in no hurry.

I added voenkor's telegram link. I assumed the original source is from Telegram. Since I won't download and install Telegram, I can only preview a few of the latest posts on the browser.
The text that was translated is in screen shot 2 of the post.
21:22 During the counterattack operations in the Bakhmut area, in some positions, Ukrainian units were able to advance to a distance of 350 to 450 meters, said Serhiy Cherevaty, spokesman for the Eastern Group of Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
21:14 Zelensky said in an evening video message that Ukraine will continue the sanctions steps, and "new sanctions packages are next in line - even larger ones." "Everyone will receive global pressure. Step by step, we are collecting complete data on everyone who works for aggression - directly or indirectly. Each such person will be blocked. And our, Ukrainian, sanctions are either already synchronized or will be synchronized with the sanctions of the free world," the President emphasized.
20:55 Podolyak said in an interview with The Guardian that "preliminary operations" within the framework of the counter-offensive have already begun, but in general "it is a complex process that is not a matter of one day, a certain date or a certain hour." "The intensity is growing, but it will take quite a long time," he said.
Podolyak also predicts that as the counter-offensive develops, “Russian rebel groups” will incur more frequent incursions into Russia. At the same time, he denies that the Russian Volunteer Corps and the Legion of Freedom of Russia acted on the orders of Kyiv. The adviser to the head of the OP claims that their contracts with the Ukrainian Foreign Legion have ended, and therefore they have the status of "citizens of the Russian Federation temporarily staying on the territory of Ukraine."
18:43 Ukrainian Ambassador to Germany Oleksiy Makeev announced the delivery of new IRIS-T systems.
18:27 The Russians fired at Stepnogorsk, Zaporozhye region from Gradov, two people were injured, the head of the OVA Yuriy Malashko said.
18:22 The Russians fired on the village of Shipovatoye, Kupyansky district, Kharkiv region: one person was killed, another was wounded, Oleg Sinegubov, head of the OVA, said.
18:01 Together with Hungary, new EU sanctions against Russia are now also blocked by Greece, writes Politico, citing five EU diplomats. We are talking about a list compiled by Ukraine of private companies that are considered "sponsors of the war." Budapest and Athens are using the sanctions block as political leverage to remove their companies from the list. In particular, the Greeks deny that their companies circumvent anti-Russian sanctions.
17:28 Kuleba denied The Wall Street Journal's information about China's proposal to recognize Russia's occupied Ukrainian territories. According to the minister, he contacted his European counterparts from the capitals where the Chinese special envoy Li Hui visited, and they did not confirm this: “None of them confirms that there were voiced or negotiations were conducted on recognizing for Russia those territories on which the Russian Federation is now in Ukraine".
Kuleba also stressed that "Ukraine will not consider any proposals that provide for territorial concessions."
16:50 Explosions again in occupied Berdyansk: local public write about a strike on the territory of the Azovcable plant.
16:12 Russian media report that kamikaze drones attacked an oil refinery in the village of Erokhino, Tver region, the roof and walls were damaged in the building and windows were broken.
15:47 The special services of the Russian Federation have begun to implement a provocation with chemical weapons in the occupied territories of the Zaporozhye region , the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense reports. This is done in order to disrupt the Ukrainian counteroffensive. According to Ukrainian military intelligence, the real victims of the provocation will be soldiers of the Russian army. Moscow plans to use traces of chemical weapons on their bodies as fake evidence to accuse Ukraine.
The Main Intelligence Directorate emphasized that the Security and Defense Forces of Ukraine in the course of hostilities with Russian troops use only conventional means, and the next statements of the Russian special services are not able to influence the further course of events at the front.
15:13 Russian publics write that in the Bryansk region, a kamikaze drone allegedly attacked a Niva car of the Russian Defense Ministry on the Brovnichi-Sushany road, killing two servicemen. Also in the center of the city of Shebekino, Belgorod Region, a shell hit a jewelry store located on the first floor of a residential building.
14:16 The Russians fired on Sadovoe, Kherson region - private houses were damaged, one person was wounded. Also during the day, Kherson was under fire, the premises of the lyceum were damaged. In addition, the enemy shelled Zmievka, damaged a private warehouse, the OVA reported.
13:57 The first group of about 400 Ukrainian military began training on American Abrams M1 tanks in Germany, Pentagon Speaker Garron Garn said. He clarified that on May 26, combined-arms training at the training grounds began for about 200 servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and another 200 servicemen began to train to refuel and service Abrams tanks. It is expected that the preparation will last 10-12 weeks, and the Abrams tanks will appear at the front in Ukraine until autumn.
13:45 As a result of the operation in the Belgorod region, information important for Ukrainian intelligence was collected, said Andrei Yusov, a spokesman for the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense. According to him, all of it will not be disclosed, but part of this data, which can be briefly described as "the king naked", was received by the whole world. We are talking about the depletion of the power apparatus and Russia's vulnerability to internal strikes.
Yusov noted that now the task of the Russian partisans is "the liberation of the state from the Putin regime, which for the inhabitants of these territories - representatives of different peoples, different nationalities - is obviously a regime of internal occupation."
12:54 Zelensky introduced new personal sanctions against 51 individuals and 220 legal entities from Russia and Belarus. The list includes, in particular, the heads of Russian enterprises and scientists, as well as enterprises associated with the transport, communications and industrial sectors of the Russian Federation and Belarus. Thus, sanctions were imposed against the structures of MTS and Russian Railways, CJSC Russkaya Troika, Karachevsky Plant Elektrodetal, Sarapulsky Radio Plant, Chelyabinsk Forging and Pressing Plant, etc.
Also under the restrictions were Belarusian companies: Minsk Automobile Plant, Minsk Mechanical Plant named after Vavilov, Vitebsk Radio Components Plant Monolit, Orsha Aircraft Repair Plant.
12:31 Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation Mikhail Galuzin announced the Russian conditions for the end of the war in Ukraine. According to him, the first point is the cessation of the supply of Western weapons and hostilities by Ukraine, and the second is the non-bloc status of Kyiv. "In order to achieve a comprehensive, just and lasting peace, Ukraine must return to a neutral non-aligned status, recorded in the 1990 declaration of state sovereignty, and refuse to join NATO and the EU," Galuzin said.
In addition, according to him, Kiev should recognize "new territorial realities." Another condition is "protection of the rights of Russian-speaking citizens and national minorities" at the legislative level.
In turn, Yermak said that "there is no such force that today will force Ukrainian society and the leadership of the state to speak with the Russians while Russian troops are stationed on our territory."
And Podolyak noted that the "demands of Russia" through the mouth of the Russian Foreign Ministry rather confirm the legal and actual incompetence of the Russian leadership. According to him, only the reciprocal conditions of Ukraine are realistic: “Immediate withdrawal of all troops from the sovereign territory of Ukraine. Final recognition that the USSR collapsed and the post-Soviet countries have the entire scope of sovereignty. territory of the Russian Federation Reduction of offensive weapons (long-range missiles) International conference on organizing control over the nuclear arsenal of the Russian Federation A legally fixed program of reparation payments, including the voluntary renunciation of Russian assets seized in other countries in favor of Ukraine.
12:02 Ukrainian troops control the neighborhood of Bakhmut in the southwestern part in the Airplane area, Deputy Defense Minister Anna Malyar said. According to her, the offensive activity of the enemy in the Bakhmut direction has been reduced. Yesterday and today there are no active battles - neither in the city, nor on the flanks. At the same time, the enemy is actively shelling the outskirts of the city and the approaches to it.
Malyar stressed that the Armed Forces of Ukraine firmly hold the previously occupied dominant heights in the north and south of Bakhmut. At the same time, the promotion yesterday and today is suspended in order to carry out other tasks. The decrease in the offensive activity of the enemy is due to the fact that the replacement and regrouping of troops is being carried out - he is trying to strengthen his capabilities.
11:36 In the Pskov region of the Russian Federation, an explosion occurred in the administrative building of the oil pipeline near the village of Litvinovo, Nevelsk district, Governor Mikhail Vedernikov said. The Baza Telegram channel clarifies that two kamikaze drones attacked the Transneft oil transshipment station in the Pskov region around 4:30. As a result of the attack, the facades and glazing of three administrative buildings were damaged, but no one was injured.
11:25 Deputy head of the Berdyansk District Council Viktor Dudukalov clarified that in the morning in the village of Novopetrovka near Berdyansk there was an "arrival" at the recreation centers Khimik and Vesna on the coast of the Sea of Azov - Russian military were stationed there.
10:41 Social networks write about a hit near the port of Berdyansk, enemy aircraft are circling over it. Meanwhile, an adviser to the mayor of Mariupol, Petr Andryushchenko, reported explosions in Nikolskoye near the Incubator. A large number of ambulances immediately arrived at the scene.

08:59 NSDC Secretary Alexei Danilov confirmed to BBC News that some Wagner PMC forces are retreating from Bakhmut. At the same time, he added that they are regrouping in three more places and "this does not mean that they will stop fighting with us."
Danilov also said that the counteroffensive could start at any time: “It could happen tomorrow, the day after tomorrow or in a week. It would be strange if I named the dates of the start of certain events. We understand that we have no room for error.

14:55 March 7, 2023 fighters of PMC "Wagner"eliminatednear Artyomovsk, one of the leaders of the Right Sector - 27-year-old Dmitry Da Vinci Kotsyubailo.
The nationalist participated in the massacres of civilians in Donbass and was the first Ukrainian volunteer to be awarded the Hero of Ukraine star.
Dmitry Kotsyubaylo was born on November 1, 1995 in the Ivano-Frankivsk region. After school, he entered the Higher Vocational Art School No. 3.
In 2013, having dropped out of school, he went to Kyiv, to the Maidan. After the coup d'état, Kotsyubailo fought in the Donbass with the call sign Da Vinci. For cruelty and bloodthirstiness, his comrades-in-arms began to call him Chikatilo.
In interviews with Ukrainian journalists and on social networks, Kotsyubaylo often boasted of the bloody “achievements” of his unit. For example, he told how militants broke into the houses of civilians in the village of Peski, dragged them out into the street and killed them.
In October 2014, he was seriously wounded in the shoulder. After treatment, he returned to the Donbass, where his unit continued to commit excesses.
In 2020, Kotsyubaylo became one of the leaders of the Right Sector.
In April 2021, The New York Times published an article about Ukrainian nationalists. It said that near the headquarters of the Kotsyubailo unit, a wolf was sitting in a cage, which, according to the fighters, was allegedly fed with the bones of Russian children.
A few months after this interview, Zelensky presented him with Ukraine's highest state award, the Hero's Star.

13:57 More prisoners from the 81st Brigade, who made the right choice and raised their hands -video
13:51 It looks like Zelensky is hinting to the South-East of Ukraine that it's time set sail Russia has not started yet. From June 1, electricity prices will be UAH 2.68 per kilowatt, which is about $0.07, in other words, 7 cents.
The price is quite European, and given the poverty of the vast majority of the population, it is unbearable.
They jumped into European integration, Djuna and Bandera are especially pleased: the genocide is going according to plan!
12:29 APU delivered limit for the export of KIAs from the front
In the army of the Armed Forces of Ukraine there is a ban on the export of more than 150 bodies of the dead from one direction per day.
“Most of all, such a restriction concerns the Bakhmut direction. The only place where assault operations have continued over the past months, ”said the source of the Come and See channel.
It is noted that on the Zaporozhye Front, the command is forced to keep the bodies of the dead in refrigerators, waiting for quotas for individual units.
The purpose of such restrictions is to prevent panic among the population. At the same time, the APU itself does not have a real number of those killed.
“In the Ukrainian headquarters there are reports with tens of thousands of names of “missing”, “prisoners” and “deserted”. Obviously, the approximate losses can only be estimated after the end of hostilities,” the source said.

11:24 War on monuments and graves continues: another military burial desecrated in Ukraine
In the city of Sambir (Lvov region), a military burial place of soldiers who liberated the city from Nazi invaders was desecrated.
Here it is necessary to note the fact that Polish and Jewish pogroms regularly took place in Sambir during the Great Patriotic War. Ukrainian nationalists and their “curators” killed civilians almost daily…
Attempts to shelter Poles and Jews by local civilian Ukrainians were punished by Bandera, who in 1943 alone executed 27 civilians who harbored Poles.
11:21 Nikolaev, Preparation to terrorist attacks
The picture shows one of the messages in local chats. They ask for children's radio-controlled cars for the military. They write that it can be broken, without wheels, as long as the remote control works.
And here is another message:
“Good afternoon Sergey from Nikolaev! We were asked by groups of local yards to collect unnecessary children's cars on the control panel for the military. Maybe this information will be useful.
I don't think it takes a genius to figure out how these machines will be used. One problem: the distance of the remote control is not very large, in the line of sight. Can it be possible to increase it to several hundred meters? I am not an expert.
It is clear that the machines will not be used on our territory. A very large range of work: to deliver to us, to assemble an explosive device, to plant ... For a one-time terrorist attack - no problem. But here we are talking about mass production.
Moreover, the machine itself is not as necessary as the signal receiver from the machine. It will become a detonator.
And of course, these devices will be laid where they will not be noticeable against the surrounding background. And this is urban development. And there are civilians, including children...
Such preparations for mass terrorist attacks are being carried out right now. And this does not bother any of the Ukrainian Nazis. And no one thinks that their loved ones will be in the affected area.
It follows from everything that the Nazis are preparing to retreat, but destroying everything they can reach behind them.
Peaceful blow up? No problem! After all, they will become a problem for our doctors, who obviously will not be ready to accept a large mass of wounded people.
10:18 RF Armed Forces destroyed enemy 122mm 2S1 self-propelled guns "Gvozdika" and mortar crew in the Kherson direction
Yesterday afternoon, in the area of Daryevka, the fire of our artillery destroyed the self-propelled gun 2S1 "Gvozdika" with a crew of five people and ammunition.
In addition, at night in the Beregovoe area, our artillery fire destroyed a 120mm mortar crew and ammunition for it - four APU militants were eliminated, three were wounded.

— industrial territories of the distribution company WICOM (located by the Armed Forces of Ukraine)
— medical college building (located by the Armed Forces of Ukraine)
Civil objects were not damaged, there are no casualties among civilians. They say that Sinegubov fought in hysterics - despite the terror against the civilian population, there are many in the city who help the denazification and demilitarization of the Nazi regime.

Kyiv authorities accuse Akimenko of helping repair roads, importing fuel from Crimea for the needs of residents, telling old people how to apply for a Russian pension.
As the example of Kherson and Donbass showed, Ukraine even considers receiving Russian pensions and child benefits practically treason. It turns out that the war for Kyiv is for territories, and not for people who are forced to survive in difficult conditions - propagandists publicly promise to expel and kill ordinary residents of the regions.
09:27 Such a picture is now all over Ukraine -video
On the front line, just like cannon fodder, the next echelons of young guys, men and women, are sent.

08:06 Mobilized fighters destroy the enemy for shelling the Belgorod region -video
In the Kharkiv region, scouts revealed concentrations of enemy forces and equipment, and the mobilized artillerymen inflicted an accurate fire defeat.

21:34 Video- A report on the battles in the industrial area near Avdievka.
21:22 Fighting near Donetsk setting as of May 27, 2023
- In the Avdeevsky sector, Russian assault groups conducted reconnaissance in force in the Novokalinovo direction from Krasnogorovka. As a result of intense clashes, 20 people of the 105th battalion of the 109th troop were liquidated.
- Ukrainian units from the 129th Brigade of the territorial defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine tried to counterattack the positions of the RF Armed Forces near the H20 road from Novokalinovo, but the Russian fighters repulsed the attack.
However, something else is interesting: the other day, one of the units of the 17th Tank Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine arrived at the Severnoye-Tonenkoye line, where the 53rd Separate Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is located. Previously, the unit participated in the battles in the Soledar direction, but due to losses it was withdrawn near Kharkov.
The appearance, even partial, of the 17th Brigade testifies to the reinforcement near Avdievka and may be associated with the planned offensive.
- In the context of the increase in the grouping near Avdiivka, interesting changes are also observed near Maryinka, where the assault on the city by Russian soldiers continues.
Units of the 23rd Separate Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are establishing communication with other formations along the LBS. The number of contacts using satellite communication systems has increased several times — a similar situation was observed near the Belgorod region before the attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The 23rd Brigade itself, judging by the supply of Western-style weapons, will be part of the shock backbone in the Donetsk direction. The 55th Artillery Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was located approximately in the same place.
At the same time, the grouping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has a problem with the supply after a missile attack on the Karlovsky reservoir. Because of this, the water level in the Volchya River has risen and logistics has become difficult through the villages of Galitsinovka, Karlovka, Zhelannoye Pervoi and Vtoroye — deliveries are now bypassed and take longer.

Commentary by Russian military blogger Vladimir Orlov
Modern warfare is not only weapons based on new physical principles and strikes across the entire economic and political territory of the enemy, modern warfare is primarily fast communications, digital combat control and knowledge of the enemy. Especially in the tactical level of command and control.
Today, in different armies of the world, there are many different systems that, to some extent, allow organizing information and communication interaction on the battlefield. This is the Ukrainian "Krapiva", this is the NATO "DELTA" system, this is the unified combat control system of the US Armed Forces (JADC2), of which ATAK (Android Tactical Assault Kit) is an integral part, this is the IVAS (Microsoft company) individual display of the situation, and a lot others.
In Russia, too, a number of developers in the interests of the Ministry of Defense and special services are developing tactical information and communication systems. The Kalashnikov Concern has developed the "Fox" system, there is the "Veterok" system, and there are other similar systems that have appeared recently. But all these systems have one drawback. They solve a rather narrow and specific problem. These systems cannot be compared with the "JADC2" level and its component - ATAK (Android Tactical Assault Kit).
Last autumn, NPO Dvina, on its own initiative, began developing a domestic digital multi-domain system that would improve the overall awareness of commanders making decisions on the battlefield.
Why did we choose the American ATAK (Android Tactical Assault Kit) system as the basis, why did we not take the Ukrainian "Krapiva" or the NATO "DELTA" as the basis..?
This is if you want, as in sports. A certain level, a threshold of achievement. A certain planochka record that you need to take. Well, in the end, the famous DARPA is related to the ATAK system, and this already says something. You need to equal and compete with the best ...!
What is the KPO-A Awareness Complex...?
"KPO-A" is a cross-platform geoinformation communication system that combines the functions of cartographic geoinformation systems, communication platforms and operational-tactical information managers. Due to its powerful functionality, "KPO-A" provides communication, target designation, coordination, planning and presentation of information about the situation in one device. Also, "KPO-A" allows you to organize a "direct" transmission of data from military personnel to command posts of the operational-tactical and strategic levels.
An ordinary commercial smartphone or tablet running the Android operating system with software (SW) Awareness raising complex "KPO-A", which allows you to:
- coordinate the actions of military personnel during their combat mission, determining their location by the signals of the GPS / GLONASS / BeiDou space radio navigation system;
- provide joint access on the battlefield to electronic interactive maps of the area.
If necessary, maps, layers and elements of the environment can also be downloaded from the servers of the headquarters of units, from the servers of the National Center for Defense Control of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (NTsUO MO RF) and other government departments. For a predetermined digitized area, a three-dimensional display of the relief and urbanized infrastructure is available.
Cartographic layers are also capable of:
- displaying meteorological conditions, zones of radiation, chemical and biological contamination, features of terrain conditions;
- apply the tactical situation (objectives and enemy forces, positions of individual military personnel, units, fire weapons with their sectors of fire, elements of the operational equipment of the area, the state of infrastructure facilities and other important information) on the cartographic layers in the form of conventional signs according to the KEUZ-2012 classifier (2015) and the US military standard MIL-STD-2525, supplemented by a textual description.
It is possible to use libraries of symbols and markers from Google Maps, OSM, FEMA applications, as well as other sets that are easily imported into the system;
- indicate targets on the map and the sequence of their destruction, including for cruise missiles, aviation (unmanned systems) and artillery;
- Observe the current aviation situation;
- to carry out video broadcasts, exchange of photographic materials, text messages and combat control signals in a time scale close to real;
- display on the smartphone display intelligence data from various sources, including from ground-based robotic systems and UAVs.
Users of "KPO-A" can also receive current situational political and information reports that relate to their immediate location.
The KPO-A Awareness Enhancement Complex software was originally designed so that it can work without a central node, that is, in peer-to-peer networks with IP addressing. This feature is required for units operating autonomously. If there is a connection between the advanced units and the headquarters, the information collected on the battlefield is summarized and stored on a local server running the Linux operating system with the KPO-server software installed.
This device can be located at a command post or tactical-level headquarters, which can include an automated workstation (including a laptop or desktop computer) with a Windows/Linux operating system and pre-installed console software "KPO-K Awareness Enhancement Complex". Also, if necessary, a WEB-interface can be available at remote workstations.
Console Software The KPO-K Awareness Enhancement Complex also has a functionality that provides the output of tactical situation data to large-format displays for collective use.
At the same time, the displayed information is transmitted from peripheral devices (from individual servicemen from the battlefield, from command posts of active formations) to the server via a secure communication channel using RS-232, Micro-USB or Type-C cable connected to a commercial smartphone or tablet of standard radio stations (Azart R-187P1, PRTs-117KV1(a)(C), XK-V104TE/XK-V103TE, GRANITE R48U.7 and others with packet data protocol support).
The full functionality of the KPO-A Awareness Enhancement Complex, including video broadcasting, is provided through the use of mobile self-organizing communication networks using broadband data transfer protocols. Also in "KPO-A" it is possible to use DMR, UHF and VHF radio stations for data transmission due to a special attachment to the smartphone.
The KPO-A Awareness Enhancement Complex software will be licensed under four main licenses:
- KPO SOF: Version for use by Special Operations Forces;
- KPO MIL: Version for use by units of the Ministry of Defense and other special services;
- KPO GOV: Version for federal, regional and municipal departments of Russia (Municipal and regional administration, medical assistance, police, Ministry of Emergency Situations, etc.). The application will be complemented by specialized plug-ins to fulfill the tasks of each specific organization;
- KPO CIV: Version for civil use. The application is devoid of special features that are necessary for military use and is adapted for use in cellular networks. Registration requires an account linked to a mobile phone number or Mobile-ID. The application will be available in the NPO Dvina Internet service only for Russia's partner countries.

Decent work.
In Ukraine, they were very fond of comparing the losses of the Russian Federation with the losses of the Soviet army in Afghanistan.
If we compare the meeting of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with PMC "Wagner" in a year with a tail of work, it turns out that the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other gangs lost from March 2022 to 2023 several times more than the USSR army in Afghanistan in 10 years. And here we are not even considering the loss of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the regular work of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

Says Ukraine War 'Best Money We've Ever Spent'
Ugh. That's something you'd say if trying to trope US foreign policy, not brag about.
Text from the V Konmtakte page of Armed Forces of Novorossiya (VSN)
⚡The attack on the Russian reconnaissance ship Ivan Khurs was controlled using Starlink modules mounted in drones, received by Kiev from the United States,
RIA Novosti reported, citing an informed source. Other statements:
▪The drones were launched from a naval operations center opened with US assistance in Ochakiv in 2018;
▪A batch of new Western-made drones has been handed over to Kyiv for naval attacks and provocations in the Black Sea. The most likely supplier is Britain, as the appearance of Ukrainian Mykola-class naval drones does not match the profile of those that attacked the Russian ship;
▪Sabotage against the Russian Navy in the exclusive maritime economic zone of Turkey continues the course of the Anglo-Saxons to escalate and expand the geography of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
⚓Recall that yesterday the reconnaissance ship of the Black Sea Fleet "Ivan Khurs" completed a planned transition from the area of mission of tasks to the point of permanent deployment of Sevastopol.
Despite the rumors about the damage to the ship, which are spread by Ukrainian resources, the ship is intact and entered the bay on its own.
On Thursday, three Ukrainian drone boats in Turkey's exclusive economic zone tried to attack the ship, but they were all destroyed.

Sevastopol , May 27, 2023, 14:06 - IA Regnum. The Armed Forces of Ukraine tried to take advantage of poor visibility conditions due to fog during the drone attack on the Ivan Khurs reconnaissance ship, but the crew detected and destroyed the drones in time, the crew members said in a comment to the press service of the Ministry of Defense.
The first drone did not even try to hide its actions, as the pilots believed that the fog was hiding these actions, the crew members noted. Two other drones "began to zigzag" when the operators realized that the drones had been spotted.
“We noticed him (the first drone. - Approx. ed.) coming out of the fog. After the first explosion, the fog seemed to evaporate. We ourselves did not expect such an effect. We had fog somewhere around 200 meters, it moved away, visibility became up to 800 meters. It immediately became light around, we saw the second BEC (unmanned boat. - Approx. ed.) " , - said Sergeant Maxim Panezhin in a video published by the press service of the Ministry.
Earlier, on May 27, the Ministry of Defense reported that the military personnel of the crew of the Ivan Khurs ship, who repulsed the attack of unmanned surface vehicles in the Bosphorus region, were presented for combat state awards.
As previously reported, the crew of the Ivan Khurs ship, which was on patrol to ensure the security of the Turkish Stream and Blue Stream gas pipelines, successfully repelled an attack by UAF drones in Turkey's exclusive economic zone.
According to RIA Novosti sources, the boats that attacked the Russian ship were launched from the naval operations center in Ochakovo, which was opened with the participation of the United States. Military expert, reserve officer Alexander Mikhailovsky, in a commentary for IA Regnum , noted that Ivan Khurs was attacked according to the method of Osama bin Laden.
