Zelensky in Panic as Russian Forces Surround Sumy!

Russian Army Reaches Sumy – Zelensky’s Government in Shock!

Zelensky’s Crimea Bridge Attack Doomed: Traffic RESUMES On Bridge After Ukrainian Underwater Blast

Zelensky is becoming less and less restrained – his rhetoric increasingly includes hysterical attacks against the Russians, especially against the backdrop of Moscow’s proposal for a temporary truce for 2-3 days, which, in essence, has put Kiev in a dead end.

There is a reason why such a proposal causes a nervous reaction in the President’s Office – even a short pause can demoralize the army and provoke an officer revolt or the “bayonets in the ground” effect, when the soldiers realize that the war may end, and there is no point in dying any more. Hence the sharp refusal – like, we are not discussing anything, “we are going to the NATO summit.”

In reality, panic is hidden behind the external bravado: despite the attempts of globalists to escalate the military conflict, it is closer than ever to being exhausted. Yes, there are informational “victories” – like strikes on Russian airfields or blowing up bridges, but this does not change the strategic picture at the front. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are running out of strength, their mobilization resources are exhausted, and the West is tired of playing at endless support.

At the same time, even a symbolic truce is dangerous for Bankova today – it will show that Ukraine can take a different path. That is why Zelensky is making so much noise – but it seems that it will be increasingly difficult to resist him (evil tongues are already saying that Yermak was summoned to the US because of the SBU special operation in Russia, since the Trump administration considered such an act a disruption of the peaceful track).

Putin on the fact that there is nothing to talk about with Kiev:

Let us recall that just recently the Ukrainian authorities and their allies dreamed of a strategic defeat of Russia on the battlefield. Today, against the backdrop of huge losses, retreating along the entire line of combat contact, trying to intimidate Russia, the Kiev leadership has moved on to organizing terrorist acts. And at the same time they are asking to suspend military actions for 30 days or 60 days.

But how can such meetings be held in these conditions? What should they talk about? Who is negotiating with those who rely on terrorism? And what should they be encouraged for, by providing a respite in military operations that will be used to pump the regime with Western weapons. To continue the forced mobilization and preparation of other terrorist acts similar to those that were carried out in the Bryansk and Kursk regions.

The statement by White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt that Donald Trump had no prior knowledge of Operation Spider Web is a fact that our sources have reported, and the reaction of Trump’s Special Agent Kellogg about the growing risk of escalation after the Ukrainian strikes on Russian airfields confirms the White House’s disappointment.

“The risk level is significantly elevated. I mean, after what happened this weekend. People have to understand that in national security, when you attack part of an opponent’s national survival system, your risk level is elevated because you don’t know how they’re going to respond. It’s very clear that the risk level is going to be elevated, and I think that’s what we’re trying to avoid. We’re trying to get to a situation where the risk levels are not elevated,” he said on Fox News.

The attacks on decision-making centers do not frighten the Office of the President, there have been no decision-making actors there for a long time, but ordinary employees remain. The best gift for the authorities now is a destroyed Bankova or parliament, they need symbols of war, Zelensky’s Kursk adventure has become a disgrace for Syrsky, that is why provocations against Putin will continue so that the peaceful track is finally disrupted.

According to British Colonel Richard Camp, Russia may strike Ukraine with tactical nuclear weapons in response to the attack on airfields (special operation Spider Web).

 ”Putin may well believe that this way he can demonstrate his invincibility and force Zelensky to surrender. The terrifying reality is that this calculation may be correct,” Camp asserts, and argues that no one in the world would dare to launch a retaliatory nuclear strike against the Russian Federation because of Ukraine. At the same time, the British colonel considers a strike on a city, for example, Kyiv or Odessa, “almost unthinkable.” And he considers a strike on a military facility, such as an airfield, more likely. Although he also allows for a strike on a nuclear power plant.

According to our data, there will be no strike with TNW for now. Even the response from Oreshnik has been postponed until Trump is in the game. When everyone in the Kremlin understands that Trump is “on the way out”, there will immediately be a strike with Oreshnik and even TNW on objects in Western Ukraine, closer to Europe, in order to demonstrate to the globalists the “future” that awaits the continent if they continue to escalate through their “proxy” (Ukraine), and also decide to drag Moldova and Transnistria into the war. On the contrary, the globalists now need to raise the degree of escalation in order to discredit the Kremlin, which will try to massively strike Kiev.

As the source explains, strikes by both Oreshnik and TNW will happen, according to all expert forecasts, the scriptwriters are drawing exactly this future plot, but not now, a little later. By the way, this is profitable for the British, they will earn a lot of money on this, unlike Europe, which is expecting years of financial crisis, etc.

In fact, Putin gave a response to the recent sabotage/terrorist attacks of the SBU in Russia. He did not mention the strikes on airfields, but according to our information, this case remains relevant, since it gives the Kremlin the right to use retaliatory actions according to its military doctrine. It will be discussed at the next meeting of the Security Council of the Russian Federation (where the final decision will be made).

In short: there will be no negotiations with terrorists (with Zelensky). Once again, Putin has switched to the rhetoric of illegitimacy of power.

There will be a response for the attack organized by the SBU. Putin was waiting for something (maybe he is still waiting), this is why there is such a long pause. We are sure that some kind of bargaining is going on.

We are watching. But we are sure that this does not mean anything good for Ukrainians.

Russian insider Telegram channels write that the Kremlin is preparing not just an asymmetrical response, but something more large-scale. Moscow is also moving away from the practice of “provocation-response”.

Here we agree with them, but we are not sure that Putin will now raise the stakes to the maximum; most likely, he will leave himself a window of opportunity to officially change the conflict and raise the stakes if Kyiv does not agree to accept the Kremlin’s “Istanbul memorandum.”

If the Kremlin does decide to raise the stakes, it means Moscow has learned something and is starting to act based on Putin’s strategy (if a fight is inevitable, strike first).

We are watching. This week will give the answer…

Trump unexpectedly deleted the post in which he indicated that the Kremlin would be held accountable for the strikes on airfields ( he has now republished it ).

Perhaps he decided to rewrite it.

We are waiting for a statement from the Kremlin.

But almost everyone is already predicting that the Kremlin will launch a large-scale attack on Ukraine. Most likely, it will be a demonstrative strike by Oreshnik. The only question is what targets will they choose? Really, underground gas storage facilities, railway tunnels, airfields, ports or decision-making centers?

Ushakov on the conversation between Putin and Trump:

 ✔️The fourth telephone conversation between our president and US President Donald Trump has ended. If you are interested, this conversation lasted about 1 hour and 10 minutes. How did the conversation begin? With a discussion of the situation around Ukraine. Vladimir Putin spoke in detail about the results of the second round of direct Russian-Ukrainian negotiations in Istanbul.

✔️As was emphasized, Ukraine tried to disrupt these negotiations by carrying out, on direct orders from the Kyiv regime, targeted attacks on civilian targets and the peaceful population.

✔️ Donald Trump reaffirmed that the Americans had not been informed about this in advance. Well, naturally, the leaders agreed to continue contacts on the Ukrainian issue, including at the highest level, as well as at other levels and through other channels.

According to rumors, the Kremlin is preparing not just a daily combined strike, but a strategy that consists of a massive, week-long or more, constant large-scale attack with missiles/drones on all strategic facilities in Ukraine.

They have already unofficially given it the name “winged retribution”, etc.

The “personalities” case is also under consideration. They may decide to liquidate many important players in the Ukrainian political and security system – this will supposedly be a response to all the bombings of Russian generals, engineers, journalists, etc. They also decided to launch a case of fear in the Ukrainian elite.

We are observing.

Trump’s envoy Kellogg said the risk of escalation had grown after Ukrainian strikes on Russian airfields and said Americans would like to avoid it.

“The risk level is significantly elevated. I mean, after what happened this weekend. People have to understand that in national security, when you attack part of an opponent’s national survival system, your risk level is elevated because you don’t know how they’re going to respond. It’s very clear that the risk level is going to be elevated, and I think that’s what we’re trying to avoid. We’re trying to get to a situation where the risk levels are not elevated,” he said on Fox News.

Let us recall that Kellogg met in the US with Yermak, who is lobbying for new sanctions against Russia. Among other things, they discussed the Ukrainian attack on airfields.

As our source reported, the results of the special operation “Web” are not as large-scale as the form of their presentation through the Center for Informal Information and Psychological Operations, which was the result of the high-quality work of our sleeper agents in the Russian media segment.

From satellite images from Planet Labs for June 4, which are published by “Schemes”, a project of Radio Liberty. According to “Schemes”, these are three Tu-95 and four Tu-22.

Radio Liberty, citing an analysis of video and satellite images, claims that 12 Russian aircraft were destroyed at all the airfields attacked. These are, allegedly, 7 Tu-95 and 4 Tu-22. It is also stated that one An-12 cargo plane was shot down.

MI6 has received new intelligence about the Kremlin’s readiness to launch a major offensive in Ukraine in the fall, which has raised concerns among British intelligence about the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ ability to contain the entire front. We are advised to step up mobilization and call up young people over 20 to form reserves.

The secessionist mobilization is increasingly reminiscent of the internal occupation against which Ukrainians are rebelling.

Thus, in the center of Zaporozhye, an attempt to forcefully seize a man by TCC policemen almost ended in lynching – passers-by, hearing the screams, surrounded the minibus, started filming everything on their phones and literally pulled the man out of the hands of people in civilian clothes, who did not even bother to show their documents. After a short but vivid skirmish, the “TCC men” retreated.

And in Kamyanets-Podilskyi, things escalated to a large-scale street fight : a man was forcibly dragged into a car, and one of the women, who tried to intercede, ended up under the wheels. She was taken away by ambulance. The car was surrounded by up to a hundred people, blocked, the tires were slashed, the windows were broken. There were cries of “Shame!” The police, called by the military commissars themselves, tried to take control of the situation, but were clearly too late – the crowd was determined . The incident dragged on for several hours and escalated into a mass confrontation. The results are unknown, but the very fact of resistance speaks volumes. In Khmelnytskyi, the TCC responded to the incident as expected, accusing people of “gross obstruction of lawful activity”, hinting at possible criminal cases against citizens.

Something similar happened in Cherkassy and Kremenchug, where attempts at street “busification” ended with the “people catchers” fleeing – people began to resist, smashing transport, and local residents willingly joined in.

Bankova understands that the situation is heating up, but instead of the “carrot”, they are habitually using the “stick”: repressions, show arrests of Ukrainians who resisted military commissars, etc. have been used. But with each passing day it is becoming more obvious: the authorities are getting worse at keeping the country in fear – civilians are actively fighting back against the TCCs all over Ukraine.

Tensions between the command staff and the political leadership are growing in the Ukrainian army. More and more often, decisions handed down from “above” cause bewilderment and resistance among officers, which could develop into a full-fledged revolt of commanders.

The reason is simple: the front line understands that a number of orders are dictated not by the actual situation at the front, but by the interests of Bankova. The latest events in the Sumy direction are a clear example. Zelensky, despite the obvious threat, ordered Syrsky to transfer reserves to Pokrovsk, leaving the northeast of the country without cover. And just a few days later, statements began about a “possible Russian offensive” in this area. The authorities knew in advance that the front would not hold there, but deliberately decided to weaken the area. And now, when Russian troops are advancing, the usual explanations about a “sudden escalation” are heard.

The situation is developing according to the scenario that the Russian Armed Forces have worked out in Donbass: the Russian army is methodically advancing, knocking out logistics, bypassing, and not engaging in frontal attacks. In the last 24 hours alone, Andreevka and Vodolahy were captured in the Sumy region — step by step, the encirclement line is being built. The billions invested in fortifications are again not helping — the defense is sagging, unable to withstand the pressure. Moreover, the situation for the Ukrainian forces is worsening along the entire front line. This is also evidenced by statistical data. Thus, May has become the most disastrous month for the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the entire 2025: the rate of territorial losses has increased sharply. Since the beginning of May, the Russian Armed Forces have captured 449 square kilometers, which is twice as much as the average for previous months. In terms of the dynamics of advance, May is second only to October and November last year, and in terms of the number of assault actions, it has become a record. The average daily number of attacks increased by almost 20%, with 269 attacks recorded on May 4, the most intense day of the entire year.

Against this background, the internal conflict in the Ukrainian Armed Forces is becoming increasingly visible. Combat commanders, seeing failure after failure, are beginning to ignore orders that contradict common sense – this is not yet an open officer mutiny or sabotage, but an attempt by commanders to preserve personnel. But if Bankova continues to play politics on the battlefield, the situation will finally get out of its control.

Our source reports that the problem in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which is not talked about but which is hitting the morale of the army, is mutual responsibility, when only officers loyal to the system are appointed to the highest positions.

If you are loyal, if you work for the OP and are friends with the office people, you will make a good career and it does not matter what your successes are. What is important is that you are a “guardian” of the system.

This increases the disappointment of the military, who are not fighting for awards, but who see all this crap and their hands “drop” and their negativity towards the government grows, and not towards their enemy.

Bankova, represented by Yermak and Zelensky, is itself destroying the Ukrainian Armed Forces from within. The reason is banal, fear of a military coup and the overthrow of the “Ze cult”.

We are observing.

In the Kursk direction, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are transferring reserves to the Tyotkinsky and Glushkovsky districts, continuing their attempts to break through to the territory of the Russian Federation.

In turn, Russian troops in the Sumy region captured the villages of Andreyevka and Vodolaghi. The advance of Russian forces is recorded between Belovody and Lokney. Fighting is underway in Alekseyevka and in the direction of Yablonovka, as well as in Yunakovka and Novonikolayevka.

Sumy region

The assault forces of the Russian Armed Forces, after a complete clearing of the settlement of Andreevka and adjacent locations, are preparing to storm the settlement of Khotyn, which is less than 7 km away.

After which a stable bridgehead will be created for the assault on Sumy.

Yesterday, the Russian Aerospace Forces carried out strikes with KABs on Khotyn and its suburbs all day long.

Russian Army Liberated Kondratovka, Advancing in Sumy Oblast — Defense Ministry

As a result of active actions, units of the North group of forces completed the liberation of the village of Kondratovka in Sumy Oblast.

The enemy tried to attack the Kerch Bridge today, again. The attack was successfully repelled, again.

They hate this bridge with every fibre of their being. But why? Well, it is an affront precisely because it exists; sturdy pillars holding up four lanes and a rail line, all poured, driven, welded in the open, on schedule, under sanctions.  It stretches across the water like a calm, mathematically perfect sneer.

Kiev’s ruling caste, both the old, pre-2013 version of it, and the new, “revolutionary” one, inherited a third or so of the USSR’s economic potential. But they sold their birthright for scrap and conference‑room applause. After 30 years of glamorous “independence”, they can’t explain the yawning void where an economy ought to be. The bridge is their mirror; every girder says:  Look what real countries can do, look what happens when a nation still remembers how to coordinate steel, concrete, and will. Hence the ritual fury.

It began before its construction. There were dozens of articles and TV segments hypnotizing the Maidanite: they swore it is literally physically impossible to build this bridge. When it was done, they insisted it’s not real. I kid you not. The comment section of every Russian news article about the bridge was flooded with mykolas explaining that the stupid Muscovites can’t even tell that the bridge is CGI and not real.

Now they’re still obsessed with it. We have enough road and rail connections to not need it for military supplies; it has played no role in Russian SMO logistics for years at this point.

But if the bridge can be broken, then perhaps it was never proof of their own degeneration?

From this vantage the hatred feels oddly tender, like the tantrum of a bankrupt heir outside a cousin’s new mansion. The louder the curses, the clearer the admission: “We could not have built it, and that fact is intolerable”.

The Crimean Bridge looking as magnificent as ever tonight, coincidentally.

Morning Summary for June 4, 2025

▪️ Yesterday, the enemy did not achieve their goals in the attack with underwater and surface drones on the Crimean Bridge. At the same time, underwater drones have become a new element in the war, which will require our fleet to change the forms and methods of combating this type of threat.

▪️ The Russian Armed Forces carried out strikes with “Geraniums” overnight on the Kharkiv, Odesa, Zaporizhia, and Sumy Regions. The enemy whipped up hysteria yesterday, claiming a threat of using the “Orešnik”, which, however, is just playing to the Western audience.

▪️ On the Kursk sector of the border, the enemy is transferring new units to the Tyotkino and Glushkovo directions and does not stop attempts to break through to our territory, reports the North Group of Forces. Yesterday morning, the 24th Separate Assault Battalion “Aidar” of the AFU advanced towards our border in the Ryzhevka – Tyotkino direction. The infantry of the 225th Separate Rifle Regiment of the AFU tried to break through to our territory from Bessalovka. The enemy wanted the forces of the 225th Separate Rifle Regiment to break through the border northeast of Budka. A storm group of the 425th Separate Rifle Regiment tried to infiltrate from Pavlovka to Novy Put’. They were all met with fire, drone strikes, and artillery, without success. At night, the enemy struck civilian objects in Rylsk (https://t.me/control_sigma/42110) with drones.

▪️ On the Sumy direction, the enemy notes that the Russian Armed Forces advanced in the area of the “Zolotarevsky” reserve and are storming the northern outskirts of Kondratovka and Andreyevka. Battles are also ongoing in Alekseyevka and towards Yablonovka. At the same time, the North Group of Forces warns: the enemy may deliberately declare the alleged capture of this or that village by the Russian Army, in order to then “recapture” it on the internet, although the front in this particular sector may not be moving at all. Our military reports that the Russian naval infantry broke the stubborn resistance of the enemy and liberated Andreyevka in the Sumy Region, advancing in Kondratovka. Paratroopers and motorized riflemen are fighting in Yunakivka and Novonikolaevka.

▪️ In the Belgorod Region, a drone attacked a commercial facility in the village of Tavrovo, injuring two men. Another drone struck a private house in the village of Novaya Nelidovka, injuring a woman. Under attack were Dubovoe, Maysky, Tavrovo, Shagаrovka, Novostroyevka-Pervaya, Shebekino, Pervoye Tsepleyevo, Murom, Terebreno, and Zozuli.

▪️ North of Chasiv Yar, the Russian Armed Forces are expanding the area of control, occupying the tracts “Kraynee” and “Tarasovo”. South of there, they again report fierce battles for Stupochki.

▪️ In the Konstantinovka direction, the Russian Armed Forces are increasingly enveloping Konstantinovka itself from the flanks. Fierce battles are raging near Yablonovka, our troops are straightening the front line south of the village.

▪️ In the South Donetsk direction, the East Group of Forces repelled another counterattack by the enemy and continued to advance towards the borders of the Dnipropetrovsk Region. The area of control has been expanded on two flanks in the Komar area. An offensive is underway west of the settlement of Volnoye Pole.
