Great news from Germany

⚡️ Comrades, Soviet and Russian flags are now officially allowed on May 8 and 9! For the St. George ribbon, executions were also cancelled.

Incredibly, the German court came to its senses.

'We will keep killing Russians,' Ukraine's military intelligence chief vows
Maj. Gen. Kyrylo Budanov, the head of Ukraine’s military intelligence agency, told
Yahoo News

“They’ve been trying to charge me with terrorism since 2016,” Maj. Gen. Kyrlo Budanov, the chief of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, said. “But I want to begin by saying that the things they call ‘terrorism,’ we call liberation. And this began not because I went mad and started killing people in Moscow. It happened because they invaded our country back in 2014.”

“They” refers to the Russian government. On April 21, just a few days before Yahoo News sat down with Ukraine’s most recognizable spymaster, the Lefortovo District Court of Moscow arrested Budanov in absentia. He stands accused of creating “a terrorist community,” the “illegal acquisition of weapons by a group of persons,” and “the illegal acquisition of explosive devices by a group of persons.”

The implication is that Budanov’s intelligence service, more commonly known by its Ukrainian acronym HUR, was behind a string of audacious and lethal attacks inside Russian territory — or what the Kremlin considers to be Russian territory. These include the August car-bomb assassination of Daria Dugina, daughter of Russia’s notorious far-right theorist Aleksandr Dugin, in central Moscow, and the suspected truck bombing in October that partially dismantled the Kerch Bridge, Russia’s only direct link from the Black Sea to occupied Crimea.

U.S. intelligence has attributed Dugina’s killing to the Ukrainian government, although not specifically to the HUR. Asked about this allegation, Budanov said, “Don’t continue with that topic. All I will comment on is that we’ve been killing Russians and we will keep killing Russians anywhere on the face of this world until the complete victory of Ukraine.”

Strange rays in the sky of Melitopol caused a discussion on the network

We checked: in fact, the Rays of Victory campaign is currently taking place there. This action is taking place all over the country. It has already become traditional for hero cities, cities of military glory and labour prowess.

Memorials and monuments to those who died during the Great Patriotic War, historical buildings are illuminated with spotlights.

As planned, the first vessel loaded with grain from the Donetsk People's Republic was loaded in the Mariupol Commercial Seaport.

The organization of grain export outside the Republic will allow to revive one of the most important sectors of the Republic's economy — agriculture. The port can also send grain from neighbouring regions.

This approach, when building materials are delivered to the port and grain back, will make it possible to reduce the cost of logistics by several times, as well as significantly unload checkpoints on the roads.

In the Zaporozhye region announced the plans of Kyiv to seize the nuclear power plant

SIMFEROPOL, May 7 — RIA Novosti. Ukrainian troops plan to seize the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant during a counteroffensive, Vladimir Rogov, head of the We Are Together with Russia movement, told RIA Novosti.
"The plans of the Ukrainian militants include an attempt to cross the Dnieper and capture the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant in order to create a bridgehead there on the left bank. They don't even hide it," he said.

According to Rogov, the strategy and tactics of the upcoming counter-offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were developed by American and British curators, including from various law enforcement agencies.

"The Ukrainian side has been assigned the role of extras and executors of criminal orders," the source of the agency summed up.

Zaporozhye NPP is located on the left bank of the Dnieper near the city of Energodar. This is the largest nuclear power plant in Europe — it has six power units with a capacity of one gigawatt. In October last year, she became the property of Russia.

At the same time, Ukrainian troops continue to regularly shell Energodar and the territory of the ZNPP adjacent to the city. Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu noted that the Kiev regime thus seeks to create the appearance of a threat of a nuclear catastrophe.

In Chasovy Yar, a powerful strike on the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

There is information that artillery of all calibers is actively working on the positions of the 112th, 127th and 241st territorial defense brigades, the 228th troop battalion, as well as on the positions of units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine north of Chasov Yar in the Bogdanovka area and the Valianovka railway station .

According to reports from the field, a number of shells and rockets are being used that no one has seen in the area before.

Also, right now there is a massive drone raid in the Zaporozhye, Dnipropetrovsk and Kherson regions, complementing the strikes on the Slavic-Kramatorsk agglomeration.

There are reports of the activity of Tu-22M3 strategic aircraft in Shaikovka and Tu-95 in Engels. Until the aviation has reached the point of launching cruise missiles at the facilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Geran-2 drones are actively flying.

An air alert has already been announced in Zaporozhye, Dnepropetrovsk, Kherson and Nikolaev regions.

Strong explosions in Odessa.

Rocket strikes in Odessa are carried out on the warehouses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the railway, along which heavy equipment and German Leopard tanks were previously transferred. Powerful explosions in the centre of Odessa.

Rocket strikes are on the bridge in Zatoka.

⚡️A new missile strike is atypical even by the best standards

Missiles actively fly to the positions and objects of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the several directions at once.

Everything that can be used is applied: Geran-2 drones, X-22/32 missiles. At least 5-7 Tu-22M3 aircraft at work.

Launches of X-101 and "Calibre" cruise missiles are expected. Apparently, the list of targets to defeat is very large.

Air alerts have been announced not only in the southern regions of Ukraine, but also in the central ones — Vinnytsia, Kirovograd, Cherkasy and Poltava.

This Ukrainian night will definitely not be quiet

As they say — the sound of the surf was heard all evening, in the morning it became clear who was washed away...

Good dreams, people!

And I hope you have a wonderful morning!

Surovikin is my hero.

The head of the Russian-controlled part of the Zaporozhye region announced the possibility of a large-scale counteroffensive by Ukraine in the near future

For this reason, he gave the order to evacuate people from the various areas of this area.
Over the past two days, the Russian army has published a nationwide announcement about the preparation of a large-scale counteroffensive of Ukraine.
Although some experts believe that very intense and targeted Russian airstrikes, as well as the destruction of large warehouses and high losses in Ukraine will delay this counterattack for a month, but the United States and Britain are apparently putting strong pressure on the Ukrainians to carry out this counterattack.

Translated from Ukrainian channels:

The Bakhmut meat grinder has turned into a “Bakhmut oven”, judging by the last days
Bakhmut is kept for only one purpose — political expediency, which keeps Zelensky's rating. Everything else is fiction. In Bakhmut, for about two months now, there were almost no more or less protected places for infantry. Losses in such shelling are colossal, but most will be written off as missing.

The last stronghold of the Armed Forces of Ukraine continues to be razed to the ground in Bakhmut, and the military is already openly declaring that it makes no strategic sense to keep a piece of the city. After the arrival of artillery or air bombs, there is practically nothing left of the house, everyone understands one thing, that when going to Bakhmut, the chances of surviving are minimal, and there is practically no real battle, the enemy simply hits with artillery, which we (Ukies) cannot suppress.
