Afghanistan
Jawzjan Residents Complain that Armed Nomads Usurp and Destroy Their Land
Afghanistan has their own Fulani — who knew?
[KhaamaPress] Residents of Jawzjan province have recently produced video recordings depicting armed nomads destroying agricultural land. The residents of the province have complained that armed nomads have destroyed and usurped their land.

They claim that nomads have expanded on and usurped dozens of acres of land.

Nomads have been seen in the Abgarmi, Dasht-e Lily, Zumrod, and Quban areas of Jawzjan province since this month, according to a number of residents.

Moreover, local sources told some news hounds that inhabitants of Jawzjan province had complained to the Taliban
...mindless ferocity in a turban...
several times, but that the Taliban had refused to address their concern and take actions.

According to a resident of Jawzjan province, the Taliban’s negligence was attributable to the Kuchis’ cooperation and connection with Taliban leaders.

The man is accused the Taliban’s deputy governor for Jawzjan province, as well as the head of the Taliban’s court for supporting armed nomad.

Nonetheless, the Taliban have yet to respond to the residents of Jawzjan’s assertions.

The residents of Jawzjan are complaining about the presence of nomads, while nomads have sparked confrontations in other provinces.

Armed nomads are also said to have destroyed agricultural land in the Parwan province’s Sheikh Ali district.

Egypt receives half of target quantities of wheat from farmers; stock sufficient till Jan. 2023: Minister
By the time things reach equilibrium, the world will have excess built in and be more stable, while China will no longer be allowed the illusion that it’s cock of the walk.
[AlAhram] Egypt has received around three million tons of wheat from local farmers since the start of harvest season in early April, Supply Minister Ali Moselhi told Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly during a meeting on Thursday, which amounts to nearly half the quantities the country targets from local market.

Moselhi said that currently the country's stock of wheat is sufficient to cover local consumption until January 2023, according to a cabinet statement released following the meeting.

The government seeks to collect six million tons of the strategic crop from farmers through August, up from the 3.5 million tons collected in 2021, as part of a diversification of its wheat supply amid the Russian-Ukraine conflict.

Ever since the disruption in the supply of Black Sea wheat after the Russia-Ukraine war broke out on 24 February, Egypt — the world's largest wheat importer — has scrambled to find viable import alternatives to secure the strategic commodity. Russia and Ukraine alone accounted for 80 percent of the country’s imported wheat supply.

Annually, Egypt spends tens of billions of pounds to secure nearly 20 million tons of local and imported wheat, a key strategic commodity for the production of loaves of bread — a staple of everyday Egyptian diet and cuisine for tens of millions of citizens.

Prime Minister Madbouly said the government closely follows up on the purchase of wheat from local farmers nationwide as well as the country's strategic reserve of other staples, a cabinet statement noted.

Amid the current global crisis, the country has begun working on two avenues to ensure its annual needs for wheat are covered. The first is finding new international sources of wheat, and the second is taking a number of measures to ensure it collects the largest possible amount of wheat from local farmers.

Meantime, the strategic reserves of rice suffice for nearly five and a half months, cooking oil for roughly six months, livestock for around 16 months, frozen meat for six months and frozen poultry for about eight months, the minister added.

The General Authority for Supply Commodities (GASC), the country's grain buyer, contracted to purchase 50,000 tons of subsidised rice that are set to arrive in July and August of this year, he pointed out.

Egypt to increase local wheat production to meet 65% of consumption by 2024

[AlAhram] Minister of Supply and Internal Trade Ali Moselhi told the Senate on Sunday that Egypt is doing its best to achieve greater self-sufficiency in wheat production, aiming "to meet 65 percent of domestic needs by the year 2024."

Responding to questions on the impact of the current global food crisis on Egypt, El-Moselhi said the government's policy of preparing a six-month stock of basic commodities was highly successful in absorbing this crisis.

"We moved on different fronts to absorb this crisis, such as diversifying the sources of our wheat imports, building a big number of wheat silos and opening hundreds of retail markets to make sure that citizens get their food needs at reasonable prices," said Moselhi.

Moselhi said that while the Russia-Ukraine war had disrupted food chains worldwide, including Egypt’s, "the fact that we had enough stockpiles led us to absorb the crisis," said El-Moselhi.

However,
women are made to be loved, not understood...
he admitted that the government had to intervene for a limited period at some "critical times" to enforce price controls on bread and other commodities like sugar and rice to stabilise prices and prevent monopolistic practices on the market.

Caucasus/Russia/Central Asia
Ukrainian Perspective: Invasion of Ukraine: May 29th, 2022
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Korrspondent] 23:25 European unity in sanctions against Russia is slowly beginning to collapse, said Vice Chancellor, German Economy Minister Robert Habeck, commenting on the failure of today's negotiations on an oil embargo against Russia, writes Bild.

23:24 The Pentagon announced that it had sent Ukraine a new batch of M777 howitzers. The C-17 Globemaster III transport aircraft was loaded at an air base in California.

23:03 In the Kherson region, the Armed Forces of Ukraine went on a counteroffensive in the Beryslav direction and advanced 9 km, the invaders are retreating to positions that are not advantageous for them, said Sergey Khlan, deputy of the Kherson Regional Council: "The Russians are just running away, so now it is very important that we continue this offensive" .

23:01 Poland will strengthen the defense of the country, said President Andrzej Duda. According to him, Poland plans to increase the army to 250,000 soldiers and 50,000 soldiers of the TRO, and the already existing 10,000 US soldiers on its territory were only an "auxiliary force."

22:29 Lavrov told the French TV channel TF1 that the "liberation" of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions "is an absolute priority." At the same time, the inhabitants of the "liberated" territories, according to him, will decide their own future: "They must decide for themselves in what environment they will continue to exist."

22:25 This week, the Armed Forces of Ukraine conducted a successful counterattack south of Krivoy Rog, the head of the military administration of the city Alexander Vilkul said: "A successful counterattack was carried out south of Krivoy Rog. 63 invaders and 19 units of enemy equipment were destroyed, including modern T tanks -72, Grad multiple launch rocket system, artillery, helicopters and one SU-35 aircraft.

21:58 Melitopol residents express a clear pro-Ukrainian position: in the first weeks of the occupation, these were rallies of many thousands, now they are a partisan movement, Melitopol Mayor Ivan Fedorov said on the air of the telethon.

21:30 Russian troops fired on one of the districts of Kharkov after it became known about Zelensky's arrival in the city. The occupiers fired at the area of ​​the village of Zhukovsky and the northern part of Kharkov, reports Suspіlne. The shelling damaged houses, cars, shops and garages. Kharkiv Mayor Igor Terekhov, on the air of a single telethon, confirmed that the city had been shelled.

21:17 Deputy Defense Minister Anna Malyar said on the air of the telethon that Ukraine has concluded almost all agreements on the supply of weapons, but their implementation takes time: "The process of supplying weapons is really long. This is very different from how we, say, something shopping or even going abroad."

Malyar explained the duration of the process, including by the fact that Western arms manufacturers already had certain obligations at the time of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine. In addition, the transit of weapons through the territory of other countries is “much more difficult than just carrying something in a suitcase for an individual,” since this requires permission at the highest level.

21:09 Kalush Orchestra, together with the Serhiy Prytula Foundation, sold at a charity auction a crystal microphone for Eurovision 2022 for $900,000 and a pink Panama hat for UAH 11 million. The proceeds will go to the PD-2 drone complex for the Ukrainian army.

20:50 Zelensky said in an evening video message that during today's trip to Kharkiv he fired the head of the SBU of the Kharkiv region Roman Dudin: "I arrived, figured it out, fired the head of the Security Service of Ukraine in the Kharkiv region for not working to protect the city from the first days of a full-scale war, but thought only of himself personally. What motives - the law enforcement officers will find out. "

20:28 Radio Liberty journalist Rikard Jozwiak said that the EU again failed to agree on an oil embargo against Russia, since Hungary "requires additional exceptions." Also, some countries do not agree with the ban on citizens of the Russian Federation to buy real estate in the EU (previously Cyprus opposed this). According to the journalist, on the morning of Monday, May 30, the ambassadors will gather for a new meeting, where they will again try to agree.

20:10 EU countries again failed to reach an agreement on an embargo on Russian oil, reports Reuters.

20:07 Another Russian ship with grain stolen in Ukraine arrived in Syria, CNN reports. Bulk carrier Matros Pozynich is currently in Latakia. This is one of three ships that loaded grain in Sevastopol. It was last seen in Sevastopol on May 19 and then tracked as it passed through the Bosphorus and south along the Turkish coast. According to analysts, the ship can carry about 30,000 tons of grain.

20:03 The Russians destroyed several tons of grain in Mariupol. At the second berth of the Mariupol commercial port, they began to ship Ukrainian grain to Russian ships, MRPL reports. The director of the Mariupol Commercial Sea Port, Igor Barsky, said that the Russians use the Neptune crane to load grain.

“During the loading, a fire broke out. I don’t know if the ship or the grain itself caught fire, but the invaders took and filled the holds with grain with water and now they don’t know what to do with it all. They simply destroyed the grain,” said Barsky.

20:01 Payments on Russian government bonds have not been received on the accounts of foreign investors as of the evening of May 27, writes Bloomberg. If the money is not credited to the accounts within 30 days, a default will be declared on Russian foreign obligations.

19:59 Turkey still does not agree to the entry of Finland and Sweden into NATO and is not going to change its position yet. As Erdogan said, negotiations with two candidates for membership in the alliance did not go at the expected level: "They are dishonest and insincere. We cannot repeat the mistake made in the past by countries that accept and support terrorists."

19:56 Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said following a telephone conversation with Putin that his country would sign a new long-term (three-year) contract for the supply of Russian gas. Serbia's previous ten-year contract with Gazprom ends on May 31.

The policy of Serbia, which seeks to join the EU, now contradicts the policy of the bloc - the country does not impose sanctions against the Russian Federation, does not refuse Russian energy carriers and remains almost the main ally of the Kremlin in Europe.

19:51 A pro-Ukrainian action took place in the city park of the occupied Melitopol. Local activists gathered a rally and sang the anthem of Ukraine. The organization was carried out by the underground movement Yellow Ribbon . Several dozen people came to the meeting with posters, flags and blue-and-yellow ribbons, according to local publics.

19:46 The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reports that the main goal of the enemy now is the encirclement of Ukrainian troops in the areas of Lisichansk and Severodonetsk. Thus, the occupiers were actively fighting in the Severodonetsk, Bakhmut and Kurakhovsky directions.

In the Kharkov direction, the enemy launched an air strike on the settlement of Prudyanka. In the Slavic direction, he carried out assault actions in the direction of Pasek - Bogorodichnoye, but had no success, retreated to previously occupied positions. Separate enemy units have been withdrawn outside the Liman.

19:41 Orban's chief propagandist, Zsolt Bayer, equated Ukraine with Nazi Germany. According to him, Kyiv's revision of the role of Russian literature in the educational and cultural space is similar to the actions of the Nazis in relation to the Jewish nation: "It was already in Nazi Germany. Goebbels already said so."

He also called into question the existence of Ukrainian culture and the Ukrainian nation as such, illustrating his words with an image with Russian signatures that the territories of Ukraine were allegedly not Ukrainian, but were taken or received from Russia and Poland.

19:17 In Sevastopol, at the 13th shipyard of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, three large landing ships of project 775 are under repair at once, Krym.Realii reports. One ship without a tail number is moored at the entrance to the bay, the second, also without a number - in the middle, and the ship Azov (tail number 151) - in the vicinity of the bay.

The Black Sea Fleet has four Project 775 large landing ships: Caesar Kunikov (tail number 158), Novocherkassk (142), Yamal (156) and Azov (151). In the oil harbor (Grafskaya Bay) there are two more large landing ships of project 775. So the total number of BDK of this project in the bays of Sevastopol is five.

18:59 Germany will provide Ukraine with 1 billion euros in grant assistance, said German Ambassador to Kiev Anka Feldhusen after a meeting with Finance Minister Sergei Marchenko.

18:43 In the Nikolaev region from May 30, beaches and other recreation areas on the territory of the Ochakov city, Black Sea and Kutsurub united communities will not work, the authorities said.

18:38 Moscow-appointed "deputy head of the Kherson military-civilian administration" Kirill Stremousov said in an interview with Reuters that the issue of joining the region to the Russian Federation will be decided no earlier than winter, but most likely "by next year."

"This will not happen by autumn. We are preparing the administrative system, and then closer to next year we will see how things are," Stremousov said. At the same time, he did not rule out that a referendum could be held: "We will announce later when some kind of vote or plebiscite is planned, but it will not be today or tomorrow, because our first task is to restore order in the Kherson region."

18:30 The number of civilian casualties in Ukraine is dozens of times greater than military casualties, Shmyhal said: "The number of civilian casualties is dozens of times higher than the number of military casualties. This proves that the Russian army and Russia are fighting against the civilian population of Ukraine, and not with our armed forces."

17:47 Today, the border areas of Chernihiv and Sumy regions were shelled ten times from the territory of Russia, the State Border Service reported. In particular, the territory of the Novgorod-Seversky district of Chernihiv region was shelled nine times - the border guards counted 33 explosions of Russian shells. Another five mortar mines exploded on the outskirts of the Shostka district of the Sumy region.

17:35 Mass riots "mobilized" into the Russian army are brewing in ORDLO. According to human rights activists, men en masse refuse to become "cannon fodder". In this regard, protest actions are being prepared by "conscripts" and their wives against the "authority" of pseudo-republics.

According to the Ombudsman Lyudmila Denisova, there have already been recorded cases of firefights between forcibly mobilized local residents and Russian servicemen. The "military procurator" of the ORDO dispersed the dissatisfied, but this only aggravated the situation. Human rights activists report that over the past two weeks, thousands of people have laid down their arms in the ranks of the "army" of ORDLO.

17:19 Yermak does not rule out that Russia, in addition to the food crisis, will start gas blackmailing Europe with the onset of cold weather: "Given that the Kremlin now wants to exchange the unblocking of Ukrainian ports for the lifting of sanctions, one can understand Moscow's ultimate goal. And right now it is important to show strength and unity of the Western world Economic support for Ukraine, duties and embargoes on Russian oil, sanctions against the banking system of the Russian Federation, secondary sanctions, as well as exactly the weapons that our state asks for - this is a strong, common response. Attacks on Russia must be quick, without hesitation, otherwise the Kremlin will try to split the EU and continue its blackmail."

16:37 Mayor of Nikolaev Alexander Senkevich reported that three high-rise buildings were damaged during the morning shelling, as of 16:00 it is known about two wounded, one more person was killed. Explosions are now heard in the city again.

16:35 Journalist Rikard Jozwiak writes that EU ambassadors are going to meet tonight to adopt a new package of sanctions against Russia. According to him, a complete oil embargo is not planned, but only a ban on the delivery of Russian oil by ship.

16:33 The war in Ukraine is not a local conflict or a humanitarian crisis, Podolyak said: "Why is the world paying more attention to Ukraine than to Africa and the East? - such a narrative is promoted by Russian agents of influence. Only Russian barbarians can weigh tragedies on the scales. War in "Ukraine is not a local conflict or a humanitarian crisis. It is a question of what the world will be like tomorrow. Allowing Russia to win will open a Pandora's box and throw humanity back into the dark ages. Every hypocritical autocrat will be able to provoke territorial conflicts, seize countries, destroy peoples. Stop Russia "is the common mission of civilized countries. There is still time, but it's time to hurry."

16:29 Because of the hostilities, the Bakhmut and Kramatorsk districts of Donbass were left without electricity, 115 miners in Toretsk were blocked underground, said the head of the Donetsk OVA Pavel Kirilenko. According to him, emergency protection worked on the main power line of 330 kV - the Central Electricity Substation of NPC Ukrenergo in the Toretsk region was de-energized and, as a result, the settlements of Bakhmut and Kramatorsk districts.

Work to restore power supply has already begun. Also, due to a power outage, the water supply from the filter stations No. 1 and No. 2 of the Second Donetsk Water Pipeline was stopped. Kramatorsk, Slavyansk, Druzhkovka, Konstantinovka, Toretsk and nearby settlements were partially left without water.

16:26 The Czech Defense Ministry intends to appeal to the government with a request to provide more funds for military assistance to Ukraine. The amount should be about 600-700 million Czech crowns (up to $30 million), said Czech Defense Minister Yana Chernokhova.

16:20 The Russian edition of Mediazon reported the death in Ukraine of an employee of the press service of the Russian Defense Ministry, Colonel Vladimir Ivanov. Information appeared in the Russian register of inheritance rights that Ivanov died on March 25, and his death was officially confirmed on March 30. The APU also confirmed the information.

16:16 Zelensky at a meeting in Kharkiv proposed to analyze the feasibility of restoring damaged panel houses, including taking into account the program of thermal modernization of the housing stock. According to the president, consideration should be given to removing prefabricated houses, especially in devastated territories, and modernizing cities by building modern housing. Zelensky noted that new houses must be built with bomb shelters and shelters.

16:11 Poland hands over AHS Krab self-propelled artillery mounts to Ukraine, Polskie Radio reports. We are talking about three batteries - 18 units of self-propelled 155-mm howitzers. The Polish army has already trained 100 Ukrainian servicemen to operate these weapons. Thus, together with 12 PzH 2000 (from Germany and the Netherlands), Ukraine will already have 30 tracked 155-mm self-propelled guns.

15:57 Erdogan announced that he plans to talk with Putin and Zelensky on Monday, May 30.

15:49 Germany cannot fulfill all the wishes of Ukraine for the supply of weapons, said Economy Minister Robert Habek in an interview with Welt am Sonntag: "While we are talking, Ukrainian soldiers are training on the Panzerhaubitze 2000. This is one of the most modern artillery pieces ... Germany will soon supply "It's a weapon for Ukraine. So it's not that Germany doesn't supply anything or supplies too little. It's true that Berlin can't fulfill all of Ukraine's wishes. This creates a certain tension."

15:42 Russian Ambassador to the UK Andrey Kelin said in an interview with the BBC that Russia "does not and did not have a goal to capture Kiev": "None of our leaders, neither the president, nor anyone else has ever said that we would like to capture Kiev. I do not believe that it is possible to capture or occupy Kiev. It is a big city."

Kelin also stressed that Russia is not increasing the number of its troops in Ukraine: "We will figure it out through an operation conducted by conventional means. A limited operation using conventional means. You may have noticed that we have not increased the number of our troops. We believe that there are enough of them, to deal with this situation."

15:31 Payments for some IDPs will be canceled in Ukraine, according to the Ministry of Social Policy. Thus, only those displaced persons who live in the war zone and cannot return home, as well as those whose houses are damaged or destroyed, will receive assistance.

15:20 Ternopil journalist Vitaliy Derekh, who fought near Popasna, died during the battle, his fellow soldier, political scientist and historian Andrei Kovalev said.

15:07 Zelensky visited Ukrainian servicemen on the front line in the Kharkiv region.

14:53 Podolyak on effective measures against Russia: "As soon as it became known that Ukraine would nevertheless receive MLRS with a normal range (100+ km), the Russians immediately fell into hysterical hysterics. A wild squeal is now over the entire Russian swamp: " Only not this! Just don't give them long-range jet systems! Only not a weapon of retaliation! "... What does this mean? Only one thing. Russia is capable of fighting exclusively against unarmed civilians and immediately "supervises" its own pants if the opponent receives an equivalent weapon. Conclusion? There is nowhere easier. Two wild Russian cries: "cancel sanctions!" and "we beg on our knees: don't give Ukrainians MLRS!" - direct proof of the extreme effectiveness of these two steps.

14:36 ​​Of the 953 Chechens who went to fight in Ukraine in March, at least 101 turned out to have a criminal past or present, the Russian opposition channel We Can Explain reported . In addition, many volunteers from Chechnya are or were on the lists of Rosfinmonitoring as participants and accomplices of the bandit underground.
Chechens?? Perish the thought!
Yes, yes, that was sarcasm. Surely you guessed, dear Reader.
14:13 For the second day, Russians are loading Ukrainian rolled metal products for shipment in the commercial port of Mariupol, Mayor's adviser Petr Andryushchenko reports. Yesterday, with the support and escort of the Russian military, a Russian cargo vessel of the "river-sea" type "river-sea" of the Slavutich class under the Russian flag entered the port water area. The second day it is loaded with Ukrainian coiled steel/rolled metal. Destination port - Rostov-on-Don.

13:56 In Ukraine, the company commander of the 106th Airborne Division of the Russian Federation Captain Alexander Vygulyar was destroyed, the Strategic Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reports: "Vygulyar reconstructed the Vyazemsky airborne operation together with his company three months ago near Vyazma, but when meeting with Ukrainian soldiers, this did not help".

13:42 Kramatorsk and all neighboring cities were left without electricity. According to Mayor Alexander Goncharenko, a high-voltage power line was broken as a result of hostilities. Repair is complicated by the danger of shelling.

13:19 In Kherson, the Russians have appointed a security guard to run the theatre. According to Suspіlne, the new "director" of the Kherson Regional Music and Drama Theater was the security guard Valery Sheludko. The real general director, artistic director of the Mykola Kulish Kherson Theater, Oleksandr Knigu, was interrogated by the Russians back in March, but was released due to publicity, and later he managed to leave the city.

12:18 The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation stated that in Krivoy Rog, high-precision missiles destroyed "a large arsenal of Ukrainian troops on the territory of one of the enterprises."

12:04 The exhibition of destroyed Russian equipment, which is now taking place in Kiev on Mikhailovskaya Square, will be shown in different cities of Europe, Reznikov said: “Russian propagandists dreamed that their tanks would sail to the Atlantic Ocean. We will help with logistics: this scrap metal will Seville, Lisbon, Bordeaux.

11:30 Russians fired at the residential quarter of Nikolaev this morning. Previously, there are victims, Mayor Alexander Senkevich said.

11:01 Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis said that Vilnius has not yet received concrete proposals from Johnson on the project of a new European alliance, but he believes that it is important to strengthen existing alliances now: “Nevertheless, we need to strengthen NATO, solve the dilemmas we face, for example, Turkey's veto, not closing the door, not denying Ukraine and other countries the opportunity to join NATO, because this is the most serious guarantee of security in the future."

Landsbergis stressed that as long as Kyiv is on its way to NATO, allies should "help it join NATO and then have an army and defense that meet NATO standards."

10:19 The head of the Luhansk OVA, Serhiy Gaidai, said that Severodonetsk remains under the control of Ukraine, and the Russians are in the Mir Hotel, they cannot move deeper into the city. He also said that reinforcements approached the APU in the region. The Ukrainian defenders drove the enemy out of Toshkovka and entrenched themselves in it. In the direction of Popasna, near Kamyshevakhi, the enemy was pushed back two kilometers, the Lisichansk-Bakhmut highway is now less exposed to fire, humanitarian supplies pass through it.

10:17 In Mariupol, in the premises of the Shchiriy Kum supermarket in the Levoberezhny district along Svoboda Ave., Russians have equipped a dump of corpses. The bodies of the dead, which were washed out of the graves during an attempt to restore water supply, are brought here and dumped in a heap, said Petr Andryushchenko, an adviser to the mayor. The city has a catastrophic shortage of people for burial and the capacity of makeshift morgues. Moscow has already launched a separate recruiting campaign for pathologists.

10:09 British intelligence notes that Russia lies and misleads, even when it offers humanitarian initiatives. So, on May 25, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Rudenko said that Moscow was ready to provide a corridor for the export of Ukrainian grain by the Black Sea in exchange for easing sanctions and demining the area around the port of Odessa.

Rudenko's request is entirely in line with Russia's information strategy to provide, albeit unconvincing, alternative narratives to confuse the audience. In this case, Ukraine planted naval mines because of the real threat of an amphibious landing from the Black Sea. Meanwhile, Russia has demonstrated that it is ready to use global food security for its own political purposes, and then present itself as a rational player and blame the West for everything.

Russia's move to ease international sanctions also highlights their impact on the regime, British analysts say.

09:47 Russian Ambassador to the UK Andrei Kelin said that Moscow does not intend to use tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine. He recalled that according to the list of conditions for the use of tactical nuclear weapons, they can be used when it comes to a threat to the existence of a state. "This has nothing to do with the current operation," the ambassador assured.

09:18 Russian military from the 27th Motorized Rifle Brigade from the 1st Tank Army of the Western Military District of the Russian Federation moved their command post, which was located three kilometers from the state border with Ukraine (Ustinka in the Belgorod region), 22 kilometers from the state border - to Shagarovka , according to Defense Express, citing its sources. According to experts, this is due to an increase in reports in foreign media about the decision to transfer long-range missile systems M142 HIMARS and / or M270 MLRS to Ukraine.

09:10 On the Zhytomyr highway near Kiev, a bridge across the Irpin River was restored, said Minister of Infrastructure Alexander Kubrakov.

08:59 The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine announced the approximate losses of the enemy on the morning of May 29. The enemy suffered the greatest losses over the past day in the Bakhmut direction.

  • personnel - about 30150 (+150) people;

  • tanks - 1338 (+8);

08:40 The European Commission sent the EU countries a new draft oil embargo against Russia, writes Bloomberg. According to it, the Druzhba oil pipeline, through which Hungary receives raw materials, is exempted from sanctions. Also, certain exceptions are introduced for certain countries, including Bulgaria and Croatia. The main ban covers sea transportation of oil and fuel from the Russian Federation, it is proposed to introduce it with a 6-8 month delay.

08:28 In Lisichansk on May 28, a Russian shell hit a high-rise building, one girl died on the spot, four local residents were hospitalized with injuries of varying severity. Also, the Druzhba cinema was destroyed by an airstrike, 22 houses were damaged, said the head of the OVA, Sergei Gaidai. In Severodonetsk, the enemy is storming, the fighting continues to this day.

08:03 For two months, Germany almost did not provide weapons to Ukraine and reduced support to a minimum, writes Welt, referring to the documents that came into the possession of the publication. Thus, in the period from March 30 to May 26, Ukraine received only two shipments of weapons from the German government. These are 3,000 anti-tank mines and another 1,600 specialized directional anti-tank mines, spare parts for machine guns, lighters, detonating cords, radios, hand grenades, explosives. According to Ukraine, the last deliveries of anti-aircraft and anti-tank weapons took place on March 25, more than two months ago - 2,000 Panzerfaust 3 missiles and 1,500 Strela anti-aircraft missiles.

07:57 Russian troops are trying to gain a foothold in Liman and are storming Severodonetsk. In Belarus, the number of measures to train the armed forces is increasing, and in Crimea, the "authorities" ordered to stop accepting civilians in hospitals in order to free up beds for the wounded, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said in a morning summary .

07:21 The Russian military near Zmeiny Island are trying to pull the hit Raptor landing craft out of the water. "The rashists are trying to patch up the significantly reduced number of ships and boats of the Black Sea Fleet with drowned people," OK Pivden said in a statement.

04:58 The Amkrikansky Institute for the Study of War (ISW) believes that after the end of the battle for Severodonetsk, regardless of its outcome, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will have the opportunity to resume the counteroffensive at the operational level. Analysts admit the possibility that Russian troops could capture the city and win a tactical victory, but note that such an outcome is not guaranteed - Russian attacks may stall again.

"The Russians are paying a price for their current tactical success that is disproportionate to any real operational or strategic benefit they can expect," the ISW said. Analysts explain the importance of Severodonetsk for Moscow by the fact that its capture would make it possible to declare that Russia completely controls the Luhansk region. However, this will not give the Russian Federation any other significant military or economic benefit.

Moreover, the battle for Severodonetsk is likely to prevent the continuation of large-scale Russian offensive operations in other directions. The Russians suffered very heavy losses in the area of ​​Severodonetsk. Moscow will not be able to restore a large amount of combat power, even if it captures Severdonetsk, because it carelessly spends this combat power on taking the city, according to ISW. The Institute also notes a decline in the professionalism of Russian officers and the morale of the military.

01:08 Four NATO ships entered the port of Helsinki. The international call of military vessels was agreed about two weeks ago. According to the Finnish Minister of Defense, the arrival of the alliance ships in Helsinki is an expression of support for the Finns in troubled times, reports Yle.

Story was written by Ukrainians, so yes "allied forces" refer to Ukrainian forces and whatever else is available to help.

Please note, the Russians use the same term when referring to the Russian Army and the formations of the breakaway republics.

Russian regimental commander mentioned by Russian MoD
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[REGNUM] The heroism of Major Dmitry Mikhailov, shown by him during the Russian special operation of the Armed Forces (AF) of the Russian Federation to denazify and demilitarize Ukraine, was told on May 29 at the Russian Ministry of Defense.

Major Dmitry Mikhailov commanded the motorized rifle regiment entrusted to him during an offensive operation to liberate one of the settlements from Kiev militants. Despite the increased resistance of the enemy, the regiment's units defeated a large enemy grouping and established control over the settlement.

Under the personal leadership of Major Mikhailov, three units of the BTR-80, one T-72 tank and many foreign-made anti-tank systems were eliminated. After the liberation of the settlement, Mikhailov organized the defense of the occupied positions and repelled three attacks by Ukrainian nationalists who tried to return the settlement under their control.

Russian motorized infantry, operating under mortar fire from Kyiv militants, managed to counterattack the enemy, create conditions for the regiment's units to seize the initiative and deprive Ukrainian nationalists of the opportunity to continue the offensive. When holding the defense, no losses were allowed among the personnel of the motorized rifle regiment.

Earlier IA REGNUM reported on the heroism and courage of the commander of a motorized rifle platoon, Lieutenant Andrey Shitov . During a long battle, a platoon under the command of a lieutenant destroyed the fortifications with machine gun and grenade launcher crews of the radicals, which made it possible to break through the line of enemy defense and contributed to the liberation of the settlement from the Kyiv radicals.

Residents of Severodonetsk rejoiced at the arrival of the forces of the Russian Federation and the LPR

[REGNUM] Residents of Severodonetsk expressed their joy at the fact that fighters from the Lugansk People's Republic (LPR) and the RF Armed Forces entered this city of Donbass. This was reported on May 29 by Izvestia.

A man named Aleksey told reporters that people were waiting for the arrival of the allied forces of the LPR and Russia on May 9, 2022. “ We wanted to note. We waited now,"said Alexei.

He said that it had been “especially hard” for the residents of Severodonetsk over the past two weeks, noting that the Ukrainian military did not let non-combatants out of their apartments and equipped firing points in residential buildings.

"Well, somehow we survive, without electricity, water, gas, communications, by candlelight. In a complete vacuum, in the basement," a local resident told reporters, noting that in such conditions the inhabitants of the basement of the house lived for three months.

"It’s scary to go out into the street, there is no bread, but your guys gave bread," said another woman, who later said hello to relatives from the Urals.

Earlier , REGNUM reported that units of the People's Militia (NM) of the Lugansk People's Republic (LPR) and the RF Armed Forces occupied a bridgehead in Severodonetsk. Ivan Filiponenko , official of the LPR defense department, noted that the allied forces "continue to develop success."

Toxic smoke and suspicious plastic plant fires in Turkey
[Rudaw] The number of fires breaking out in plastic recycling plants has soared in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund...
Experts and activists suspect it's not a coincidence, believing that some entrepreneurs want to get rid of unwanted rubbish sometimes imported from Europe.

In Kartepe, an industrial town in the country's north-west, one of these sites was closed by the authorities in December after the outbreak of three fires in less than a month.
