“PUTIN stunned to declare out of weapons when Ukrainian paratroopers destroyed their last arsenal, “Stop” Russian offensive attempts at Donbas.
RUSSIA lost one last ammunition stockpile in Donbas yesterday, after the Ukrainian paratroopers launched a bold attack.
Russia’s military supply chains suffered another blow in Ukraine after Ukrainian paratroopers dropped an ammunition warehouse on the eastern front in Donbas. A flurry of Russian ammunition stockpiles have melted in the past weeks as elite squads of the Ukrainian Armed Forces have tried to launch daring raids on the invading forces. This new tactic of Mr. Volodymyr Zelensky aims to completely paralyze the Russian army when destroying all the enemy’s arsenals.
This is the last Russian arsenal in Donbas we destroyed, Mr. Volodymyr Zelensky added.
PUTIN had to experience bitter failure, failing catastrophically in its plot to defeat Donbas. The Russian army here is out of ammunition to fight and has to wait for logistics from Russia.
Aerial footage from the aftermath of the attack shows the Russian military area engulfed in flames.

Thick black smoke rose from the wreckage from what was believed to have been an attack by Ukrainian paratroopers.
This last Russian ammunition yard has enormous reserves, which is believed to have provided fighters on the eastern front, where a number of battles are taking place to gain control of the Donbas.
Sievierodonetsk has become the focal point of the battle for control of the Donbas region in eastern Ukraine.
PUTIN may have to cry at this fatal blow by Ukraine, all Russian attacks in the following days are “stopped”.”

“Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak on Monday revealed the weapons his country needs to end the war against Russia.
Podolyak, one of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s peace negotiators, took to Twitter to say:
“Being straightforward – to end the war we need heavy weapons parity: 1000 howitzers caliber 155 mm; 300 MLRS; 500 tanks; 2000 armored vehicles; 1000 drones. Contact Group of Defense Ministers meeting is held in #Brussels on June 15. We are waiting for a decision.”
U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin will host the Wednesday meeting, at the NATO Headquarters in Brussels, Belgium. International ministers and chiefs of defense have been invited to discuss the ongoing war in Ukraine.
Podolyak’s tweet came on a day Russia’s Defense Ministry said its missiles had destroyed a large quantity of weapons and military equipment in Ukraine’s eastern Donbas region.
Vadym Skibitsky, deputy head of Ukraine’s military intelligence, told the Guardian that the war now depends on the weapons Ukraine receives from Western allies.
“Everything now depends on what [the West] gives us,” Skibitsky told the Guardian. “Ukraine has one artillery piece to 10 to 15 Russian artillery pieces. Our Western partners have given us about 10% of what they have.”
Mykolaiv Regional Governor Vitaliy Kim also called for more support from U.S. and European allies.
“Russia’s army is more powerful, they have a lot of artillery and ammo. For now, this is a war of artillery… and we are out of ammo,” Kim said, Newsweek reported. “The help of Europe and America is very, very important.”
Russian troops were attempting to seize Severodonetsk and its twin city, Lysychansk — doing so would place all of the Luhansk region under Russian control and give President Vladimir Putin a military victory.
It was reported Sunday that NATO countries in Europe had agreed to stop sending tanks to the Ukrainian armed forces, and Spain apologized to Germany for having talked about sending German tanks to aid Ukraine.
Reasons for the halt include NATO countries unable to mass-produce military equipment because Russia has stopped selling materials including titanium, which is vital to producing the composite armor for tanks.
President Joe Biden said May 31 that the United States would send Ukraine advanced rocket systems and munitions.
The $700 million pledge is a substantial escalation in the U.S.’ posture toward the Kremlin as Putin’s three-month-old war against Ukraine raged on.”

“Ukraine’s deputy head of military intelligence has said Ukraine is losing against Russia on the frontlines and is now reliant almost solely on weapons from the west to keep Russia at bay.
“This is an artillery war now,” said Vadym Skibitsky, deputy head of Ukraine’s military intelligence. The frontlines were now where the future would be decided, he told the Guardian, “and we are losing in terms of artillery”.
“Everything now depends on what [the west] gives us,” said Skibitsky. “Ukraine has one artillery piece to 10 to 15 Russian artillery pieces. Our western partners have given us about 10% of what they have.”
The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, praised the UK’s support for Kyiv on Friday and reiterated his call for more weapons, as the UK defence minister, Ben Wallace, made an unannounced visit to Ukraine.
“Words turn into actions. That’s the difference between Ukraine’s relationship with Great Britain and other countries,” Zelenskiy said in a video statement. “Weapons, finance, sanctions – on these three issues, Britain shows leadership.”
Ukraine is using 5,000 to 6,000 artillery rounds a day, according to Skibitsky. “We have almost used up all of our [artillery] ammunition and are now using 155-calibre Nato standard shells,” he said of the ammunition that is fired from artillery pieces.
“Europe is also delivering lower-calibre shells but as Europe runs out, the amount is getting smaller.”
Zelenskiy said last week that between 60 and 100 Ukrainian soldiers were dying each day and a further 500 were being injured. Ukraine has kept the total number of its military losses secret.
Soldiers speaking to the Guardian from Ukraine’s frontlines this week painted a similar picture.
Skibitsky emphasised the need for the west to supply Ukraine with long-range rocket systems to destroy the Russian artillery pieces from afar. This week the Ukrainian presidential adviser Oleksiy Arestovych told the Guardian that Ukraine needed 60 multiple-rocket launchers – many more than the handful promised so far by the UK and US – to have a chance of defeating Russia.
Ukraine is set to ask the west for a list of weapons and defensive equipment at the contact group meeting with Nato in Brussels on 15 June. …
In the first month, Russia was constantly striking Ukraine with rockets but in the last two months it has slowed. Recent figures published by the head of Ukraine’s armed forces assert that Russia launches between 10 and 14 a day.
Rockets are expensive to manufacture. Each rocket can cost anywhere between a few hundred thousand dollars to several million.
“We have noticed that Russia is carrying out far fewer rocket attacks and it has used H-22 rockets; they are old 1970s Soviet rockets,” said Skibitsky. “This shows that Russia is running low on rockets.”
Skibitsky said Russia was unable to produce rockets quickly because of the sanctions and that it had used around 60% of its supplies. …
“The rockets take anywhere from 40 to 90 minutes to impact, depending on where they are launched from … We don’t know where they are going to land,” said Skibitsky. He noted that Russia was currently using long-range bombers which can reach anywhere in Ukraine without leaving Russian airspace.
In terms of the three frontlines, Skibitsky said most of Russia’s forces were now concentrated in the Donbas region and seeking to occupy the administrative borders of both the Donetsk and Luhansk republics. This was the area, he said, where the artillery battles were the heaviest.
In north-east Ukraine, around Kharkiv, he said Russian forces were focusing on defence after Ukraine’s counteroffensive pushed them out of several towns and villages in the region in May. …
Lastly, in Zaporizhzhia and Kherson, two southern Ukrainian regions that Russia almost completely occupies, Russian forces were digging in for the long haul, said Skibitsky. According to him, they are building double, sometimes triple, lines of defence.
“It will now be harder to get that territory back,” said Skibitsky. “And that’s why we need weapons.”
“If they succeed in the Donbas, they could use these territories to launch another attack on Odesa, [the city of] Zaporizhzhia [and] Dnipro,” said Skibitsky of major cities under Ukrainian control which are in close proximity to the southern Russian-occupied areas. “Their aim is the whole of Ukraine and more.”
Ukraine’s military intelligence believes that Russia can continue at its current rate without manufacturing more weapons or mobilising the population for another year.
Skibitsky does not exclude the possibility that Russia will freeze the war for a period of time in order to convince the west to lift sanctions. “But then they will start it again – look at the last eight years,” he added.”
– Excerpt from The Guardian, by Isobel Koshiw in Kyiv, Friday, 10 Jun 2022, 17:06 BST
My thought is that a country like Russia with its invasion of Ukraine and its cronies like CCP China, Iran, North Korea, give no peace and will give no peace to the rest of the world. They are brutal and have evil ambitions.
Instead of enriching the lives of their respective people, they think only of stealing, killing and destroying other peace-loving nations.
I hope that all the people of integrity and bravery, continue to unite to quash all the evils and wickedness of these rogue regimes.
May the LORD of hosts have mercy on us all!
