▪️ The summer offensive of the Russian Army, so much advertised by the Western media, is already underway. However, it will not be expressed in the "throw of tank wedges to the West", because such maneuvers are inappropriate in the face of numerous enemy drones. Speaking of drones, it is impossible not to point out that the AFU have begun to admit the increase in the number of Russian tactical-level strike UAVs. The troops are being supplied with these FPV, although there are more than enough problems with this. In the "small" and "unmanned" air, our industry is gradually reclaiming the sky, there are reports of tests at the front of domestic drones with automatic target search. But the enemy is also improving its regular drone brigades - it has formed units of small fighter unmanned aircraft that hunt for "Lancets", "Zals" and others of our drones. The formation of the Troops of Unmanned Systems is still ongoing in the Russian Armed Forces.

▪️ The negotiating background
is characterized by the summer activation of the front, while Moscow still stands on the position of the need to eliminate the root causes of the conflict - drawing Ukraine into the orbit of NATO influence. Zelensky's rudeness and Trump's desire to focus on confronting China gives Washington the opportunity to gracefully leave the conflict, slamming the door with the words "sort it out yourselves." The European dogs of war feel this and are no longer so eager to send their troops to Ukraine, but they continue to deploy troops on the future eastern front and increase military production in Europe.

Thus, Moscow demonstrates its firm intentions to solve strategic security problems in the military sphere, methodically explaining the reasons for the start of the SVO to anyone who wants it. At the same time, Kiev has a multi-million mobilization potential and continues to be an active threat to the development of our country. Zelensky's office also directly speaks of its readiness to fight for almost a century. The Western press and politicians have gradually begun to come to the conclusion that Russia is not fighting for the right to trade with someone or to mitigate threats in the short term, but to achieve its place in the sun in a changing world.

“The war will be long” – this is how one could call the chapter of the past week, based on the headlines of the Western press and the events at the front.

Acting Governor of Kursk Oblast Aleksandr Khinshtein personally met a group of fellow countrymen who were returned from Ukrainian territory on the night of May 24. Together with Human Rights Commissioner Tatyana Moskalkova, he greeted eighteen people who arrived at one of the temporary accommodation points of the regional center.

Two of those who arrived needed urgent medical care - they were immediately taken by ambulance to the regional hospital, where they are now under constant medical supervision. Some of the people were taken by relatives, the rest were placed in a temporary accommodation center.

Khinshtein personally supervised the accommodation conditions and presented each returnee with a certificate for 30 thousand rubles to purchase essential items. This one-time payment complements other support measures, including monthly payments of 65 thousand rubles, which have been provided since February of this year.

After the initial rest, social services will begin working with those who have returned, which will help them to complete all the necessary documents and receive the required payments. Doctors conducted a re-examination of all those who arrived, provided with sleeping places, food and clothing.

With tears in their eyes, the fellow countrymen told about the horrors they had experienced: weeks without water and food, the execution of their neighbors before their eyes. The main thing they are now asking for is to help return those who remained in Sumy and restore their destroyed homes.

"They dream of one thing - for everyone to be able to return to their rebuilt home," the acting governor emphasized. "We will do everything possible to help our people restore normal life."

Russia and Ukraine Complete Second Stage of Historic POW Swap — 307 for 307

Another 307 Russian soldiers are back home, returned from Ukrainian captivity in the second stage of a record-breaking prisoner exchange — a breakthrough born not from battlefield gestures, but from direct talks in Istanbul earlier this month.

“In line with the Russian-Ukrainian agreements reached on May 16 in Istanbul… 307 Russian servicemen were returned from the territory controlled by the Kiev regime,” Russia’s Defense Ministry announced Saturday.

Ukraine received 307 of its own in exchange — mirroring the 1,000-for-1,000 agreement struck in Türkiye during the first direct negotiations since 2022. Stage one kicked off Friday, releasing 120 civilians and 270 soldiers from both sides.

The freed Russian soldiers are currently in Belarus receiving full medical and psychological care, before being transferred to military clinics across Russia for rehabilitation.

This isn’t just a logistical victory — it’s a human one, a tangible result of diplomacy, not just artillery and airstrikes. And yet — behind this humanitarian exchange is a deeper message: The Istanbul channel works. And it’s working because Russia opened the door.

On OnlyFans, most women show themselves for free and barely earn a living. More than 2 million women who sell themselves on the platform earn a modest 4,000 rubles a month.

Even getting into the top 10% of the highest paid models does not guarantee a high income - on average it will be like a courier's - 80 thousand rubles a month. Rich onlyfans on their planes are just advertising for the platform.

Croat-French-Bosnian mercenary killed

Toni Herceg lived in Lyon, France, where he arrived as a child with his family from Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Herceg had military experience as a member of the French Foreign Legion. He thought this would be useful to him in Ukraine.

Toni was also the grandson of a high-level Bosnian Croat politician, Nevenko Herceg, a member of the Bosnian Croat-right party HSP, who served as mayor of a large region of Bosnia. Toni decided to come to Ukraine, where he joined the 3rd neo-Nazi brigade "Azov".

Rather than living his Ustasha power fantasy, Toni was successfully denazified on May 6, 2025, due to an "unfortunate" encounter with a drone from the FPV team of the 3rd motorized division in Karmazynivka, Lugansk Oblast, after the Russian armed forces repelled an enemy attack by the Nazis of the 3rd "Azov" brigade.

He can now heil his heroes Bandera, Pavelic, and the austrian painter himself in hell.

⚡️ Two Majors #Summary for the morning of May 24, 2025:

▪️ After three days of continuous drone attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces (more than 1,000 enemy UAVs were shot down), the Russian Foreign Ministry stated that Moscow reserves the right to a tough response, with the military choosing the targets exclusively. That night, more than 40 Geraniums struck Kiev, and explosions were also heard in Izyum (presumably a missile strike), Dnepropetrovsk, Odessa, and Pokrovsk. It is unlikely that these were the retaliatory strikes by the Russian Armed Forces that the Foreign Ministry spoke about; in terms of scale, they were comparable to the routine destruction of designated targets, although the concentrated strike on the enemy capital caused a media effect.

▪️ In the Bryansk region, a civilian was killed as a result of an FPV drone strike on a moving civilian vehicle in the village of Saranchino, Sevsky district.

▪️ On the Kursk section of the border, the enemy tried to break through in the Tyotkino direction three times a day. In the Ryzhevka-Tyotkino area, neo-Nazi "Aidar" assault troops tried a breakthrough twice, but they were destroyed. Also, a group of enemy infantry, an assault group of the 225th separate regiment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine that had advanced from the outskirts of Iskriskovshchina, was dispersed by fire. In the previous direction of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' penetration into the Kursk region, in the vicinity of Vladimirovka and also on Ukrainian territory south of the village of Gornal, separate enemy DRGs were destroyed. In the Sumy direction, battles are underway near the village of Belovody, for the exit of our units to Yunakovka.

▪️ In the Kharkov direction, the North Group of Forces reports some intensification of our offensive actions: our assault groups advanced 150 meters in Volchansk and also cleared the forest belt in the direction of the village of Volchanskie Khutor.

▪️ In the Belgorod region, in the village of Novaya Tavolzhanka, Shebekinsky district, a man was injured when an FPV drone hit a truck. Shebekino, Urazovo, Sobolevka, Glotovo, Bochkovka, Lozovoye, and Volchiy-Perviy were hit.

▪️ In the Kupyansk direction, the settlement of Radkovka in the Kharkiv region, located on the right bank of the Oskol River, a couple of kilometers from the northern outskirts of Kupyansk, has been liberated. So far, it has not been possible to find footage of objective control from the scene of events, but the importance of Radkovka is due to its proximity to the road to Kupyansk - it will become even more difficult for the enemy to supply the garrison.

▪️ In the Konstantinovsky direction, the Russian Armed Forces continue to advance south of Popov Yar and in the direction of Poltavka, located east of Popov Yar.

▪️ In the South Donetsk direction, the Vostok Group of Forces reported the liberation of Otradnoye, located in the direction of Bogatyr (recently liberated) - Komar. The enemy is throwing infantry on NATO armored vehicles into counterattacks but to no avail. The advance towards Komar continues. The assault on Zelenoye Pole and Novopol continues. Fierce fighting is underway.

▪️ In the Kherson region, in the village of Stara Zburyevka, a 60-year-old man was wounded by a strike by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The enemy also shelled Oleshky, Kakhovka, Novaya Kakhovka, Velyka Lepetykha, Dnepryany, Korsunka, Novaya Mayachka, Novaya Zburyevka and Proletarka.
