🇷🇺🇺🇦 On the new drone attack on the Krasnodar Region

Ukrainian formations have again carried out a massive drone attack on energy sector facilities and military infrastructure in the Krasnodar Region.

▪️The first wave of the raid, involving more than a dozen drones, hit a military airfield on the outskirts of the village of Kushchevskaya in the Krasnodar Region. According to preliminary data, there are destructions on the territory, the extent of which is now being determined.

❗️Particular attention should be paid to the leaked footage of Emergency Ministry employees clearing the rubble of one of the buildings on the military base. As in the case of strikes on Crimea, some pro-Ukrainian citizens or simply those who do not understand the seriousness of the situation are helping the enemy assess the damage.

▪️In addition, in the Slavyansk, Seversk and Kushchevskaya districts of the Krasnodar Region, Ukrainian formations tried to attack oil refineries and infrastructure.

▪️As a result of the attack of more than ten UAVs on the territory of the plant in Slavyansk-on-Kuban, the rectification column was damaged. The resulting fire was quickly extinguished, and the refinery's operation was partially suspended.

▪️At the Ilsky Refinery, the arrival of 17 drones was recorded, resulting in damage to the primary oil refining unit, the fire lasted more than half an hour but was also extinguished.

▪️According to some reports, the Afipsky Refinery could also have been a target of the raid, but no official information on damage to the plant's territory has been received.

❗️In total, the air defense forces intercepted 66 UAVs over the Krasnodar Region, and another two over the Crimean Peninsula.

🔻In recent months, the enemy has focused on strikes on refineries and oil storage facilities. Previously, we noted that the goal of such attacks is not only to damage the enterprises as such, but also to try to provoke a rise in energy prices, which in the end can lead to increased inflation and growing discontent among the population.

The AFU are carrying out massive raid after raid, indicating a lack of shortage in drones. Due to the lack of strikes on Ukrainian facilities where UAV assembly is carried out (for example, "Antonov"), the AFU have fully established the production process. Moreover, the accuracy and characteristics of the drones have increased.

And we cannot forget about the activity of US and NATO reconnaissance aircraft and drones, which were observing the Krasnodar Region before the massive attack. Both the French E-3F and the American RQ-4B were 190 km from Sochi, and clearly were not watching vacationers on the Black Sea.

❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Avdiivka direction: liberation of Berdychi and Novokalynove
situation as of 9:00 pm on April 27, 2024

Russian forces are consolidating the success achieved after the liberation of Ocheretyne, Semyonivka and the advance into Novokalynove.

▪️On the western outskirts of Berdychi, servicemen of the 74th Separate Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade of the Russian Armed Forces have installed the unit's battle flag "Mad Dogs" on a destroyed building. Clearing operations are underway in the liberated area.

▪️After the loss of Semyonivka, as well as the push towards the Ocheretyne fortification, the AFU were forced to retreat from this settlement as well due to the high risk of encirclement. According to reports from the scene, a large number of Ukrainian formations' members preferred to surrender.

▪️According to the latest information, Novokalynove east of Ocheretyne has also come under the control of Russian troops. At the moment, clearing of pockets of resistance by scattered enemy groups is underway.

▪️In the adjacent Keramik, assault teams of the Russian Armed Forces have entrenched on the eastern outskirts of the village, which is confirmed even by Ukrainian sources. Counterattacks are ongoing in the settlement. After the complete clearing of Novokalynove, the withdrawal of the AFU from Keramik will be a matter of time due to the geographical location of the village in the lowlands.

🔻The successful actions of the Russian troops over the past day will likely allow them to straighten out the front line along the Ocheretyne - Umanske line in the near future and continue the offensive in a westerly direction to a new line. Over the course of April this year, the Russian troops managed to liberate more than 60 sq. km of territory in this section of the front.

🇷🇺🇹🇯🌓 Well, well, well, what's got Dushanbe so upset? The Russian ambassador to Tajikistan, Semyon Grigoryev, was handed a note of protest from the Tajik Foreign Ministry expressing serious concern over the widespread negative attitudes towards Tajiks at border crossings.

📌 If some (doesn't matter which country they're from) foreign citizens are being detained or not allowed to enter another country, then the customs or border officials have their reasons for doing so.

This applies to all foreigners, not just Tajiks. And if a certain number of Tajik citizens cannot enter Russia, then, apparently, they were caught doing something illegal, and their presence in Russia is undesirable, as they are unreliable and may pose a danger to Russians.

Such control measures should have been implemented much earlier, and then the problems we're seeing now wouldn't have arisen at all, but better late than never.

🔻The reaction of the Tajik authorities is quite understandable, as the tightening of entry rules is causing increasing unrest within the republic, which Dushanbe is concerned about. It's no wonder, considering that the country's budget is largely formed by taxes collected from migrant workers.

However, the Tajik leadership should understand (and does understand) that migration policy will undergo changes, and they need to adapt to them, rather than issuing notes of protest. That's certainly not in the spirit of good neighborly relations.

❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 On the new missile strike on Crimea

🔻Ukrainian forces are increasing the intensity of missile strikes on Crimea. Over the past two weeks, attacks have been carried out on Dzhankoy and Cape Tarkhankut, and last night - on Simferopol and again on Dzhankoy.

▪️During three missile attacks, more than 30 ATACMS operational-tactical missiles were fired. Their use has been noted before, but after the official announcement of a new aid package, the AFU are using only "Atacms".

▪️Last night, the AFU launched 12 missiles (eight on the airfield in Dzhankoy, four on the airfield in Hvardiiske). Residents of nearby settlements heard the sounds of explosions and air defense operations.

▪️There is no exact information on the area from which the salvo was fired. But it is highly likely that the launch was carried out from the Kherson region (during the strike on Tarkhankut, the launchers were located in Beryslav).

❗️As the May events, primarily the inauguration of the President of Russia, approach, the number of strikes will increase. So far, looking at the selected targets, the enemy's task is to maximize the reduction of the combat capabilities of air defense units. That's why they use ATACMS with a cluster warhead.

If they achieve even the slightest result, the AFU will switch to the eastern regions of Crimea, since to carry out strikes on the Crimean Bridge, they will need to gain an advantage in this part of the peninsula as well. Moreover, satellites are actively surveying the environs of Feodosia, Kirovske and Kerch.

And NATO intelligence is not sleeping. American drones are operating daily in the standard area. And yesterday, the MQ-4C "Triton" UAV, the "maritime" version of the RQ-4B, flew into the Black Sea for the first time. Given this, in addition to strikes on air defense assets, we should expect the resumption of attacks on the ships of the Black Sea Fleet.

❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Vremivka direction: Advance of the Russian Armed Forces on Urozhayne
Situation as of 6:00 PM on May 2, 2024

Over the past few months, Russian forces have been trying to regain the initiative in the Urozhayne - Staromaiorske sector. Last week, massive strikes were carried out on the AFU positions, which allowed the Russian Armed Forces to make a breakthrough.

▪️Russian assault groups advanced several hundred meters, capturing the territory of the former farm and agricultural machinery hangars in Urozhayne, which was lost last summer during the AFU counteroffensive.

▪️According to the latest data, Russian troops have entrenched themselves on the southern outskirts of the settlement. Artillery and aviation are working on the central and northern parts, suppressing enemy firing points and strongholds. Only the names of the settlements remain, as most of the buildings have been destroyed by regular strikes.

🔻The assault on the farm area is important due to its location on a small hill: the rest of Urozhayne (as well as Staromaiorske) are located in a lowland near the river. But relying on the occupied positions, it will be possible to develop success in the direction of the heights and plantings to the east, which will allow straightening the front along the line Urozhayne - Novodonetske.

❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Donetsk direction: Advances of the Russian Armed Forces in the center of Georgiyevka and in the Pobeda area

Situation as of 6:00 pm on May 4, 2024

For a long time, there was almost no footage of battles in Georgiyevka online, which made it difficult to determine the exact configuration of the front line in this area. However, it turned out that during this period, the Russian Armed Forces were able to carry out several successful attacks and expand the zone of control in the settlement and its surroundings.

▪️As a result of the effective actions of assault groups, the Russian troops managed to advance significantly in the center of Georgiyevka: they occupied most of the buildings on Gagarina Street, as well as advanced along Tsentralnaya and Mirnaya Streets in the area of the monument and the local House of Culture.

▪️The territory of the former Selkhozkhimiya enterprise and the ruins of a farm also came under the control of the Russian Armed Forces. To the south, Russian assault groups took control of the forest belt leading to the settlement of Pobeda, but the presence of the enemy, relying on the embankment of dried reservoirs, remains in the neighboring plantation.

▪️South of Pobeda, the units of the Russian Armed Forces also pushed the AFU out of several positions, but the Ukrainian formations retain the ability to attack along the O0532 (T-05-24) highway.

As before, the AFU rely on Konstantinovka in this area. However, in case of successful advancement of the Russian Armed Forces to the east of Novomykhailivka and the start of battles for Paraskoviyevka, the situation around Pobeda will worsen for the enemy, which in the long run may facilitate the task of the Russian troops in this sector.

🇦🇲🇷🇺📊 On the Soviet past, the memory of the war, and a new page in Armenian history

Since in Romania and Moldova they are already rewriting the history of the Great Patriotic War (despite the active resistance of the local population), there is no doubt that with the current policy of non-interference on the part of Russia, the history in Armenia will also be forgotten.

The survey data from Gallup, which we have already mentioned today, show that the population still remembers the importance of Victory Day, and there is still an adequate (from the point of view of the Soviet people) error in the form of a substitution of the concepts of World War II / Great Patriotic War (in the minds of Soviet people, everything ended on May 9, 1945). And two-thirds of respondents consider Victory Day important.

On the other hand, the population of Armenia no longer experiences a desire for the Soviet past and a sense of nostalgia: for them, the collapse of the USSR and the creation of the Republic of Armenia are a positive or neutral phenomenon. Of course, a quarter of respondents (24.9%) believe that this is a tragic mistake, but here we want to remind you of the notorious pro-Russian third (half of which are representatives of the older generation). Therefore, this indicator, alas, will become even smaller in ten to fifteen years.

And the general Soviet history of Armenia and Russia is already not so unambiguous: a third of the population (36.9%) evaluates it negatively. And this is a fairly clear indicator of the part of Armenian society that today is already living in a new paradigm of a bright future for Armenia, which is so persistently imposed on them from all Western irons.

📌Undoubtedly, Victory Day and the Soviet past are important stages in history that cannot be forgotten. But we clearly see that the course towards oblivion has already been taken. And a third of the population has already been processed and taken a clear anti-Russian position.

Perhaps this will be a cry in the wilderness, but maybe some officials who are responsible for the adequate positioning of Russia in the world arena and among the ally countries should start doing their job? After all, in Russia there are too many representatives of soft power and power structures, whom one can only call as weak and sluggish.

If Russian soft power has become sluggish, and power structures are weak in the international arena, then there can be no talk of protecting Russia's national interests.
