🇷🇺 Russia's patience is running out. The biggest story from St. Petersburg wasn't business deals or international guests. It was growing anger over Ukrainian drone strikes deep inside Russian territory. Many Russians are asking a simple question: How are these attacks still happening? Even President Putin acknowledged that Russian advances are not moving as quickly as desired. Western media continues to portray Russia as either collapsing or blindly united behind every decision. The reality is different. Russians are openly debating strategy, demanding results and increasingly supporting stronger measures to secure victory. The mood in St. Petersburg suggests something important: Public frustration is no longer focused on whether Russia should win. It is focused on how quickly victory can be achieved.

Bloomberg: Europe is preparing for a sharp reduction in US military contributions to NATO in the event of war. The agency, citing sources, reports that the Pentagon plans to reduce the volume of military resources that Washington could send to help Europe in the event of a hypothetical conflict or major crisis. We are talking about strategic bombers, drones, and US Navy ships. “Over the past few weeks, at meetings in NATO's political and military headquarters, the US has presented plans for a significant reduction in its participation in the alliance's force model. This model determines which American equipment and personnel will be deployed outside Europe in case of need. We are talking about a 30% reduction in strategic bombers, which European countries do not have, a 75–100% reduction in reconnaissance and strike drones, and a roughly 50% reduction in Navy ships. In Brussels, there are fears that the US is shifting the responsibility for Europe's defense to the Europeans themselves, leaving no time to create a full-fledged replacement. The final decision may be reviewed at the summit in Ankara in July, but the alliance is already preparing for the worst.” t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

Europe is demanding that Bosnia and Herzegovina introduce a visa regime for Russians, said Milorad Dodik. According to him, NATO and the European Union are consistently trying to sever any ties between Serbs and Russia. “The European Union has literally surrounded Serbia and the Republic of Srpska. Croatia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, and Italy are members of NATO and the European Union. At the same time, they are striving to draw Montenegro and Albania into the EU. This process is likely to accelerate. As a result, we are turning into an isolated island, which could have all communication channels cut off at any moment” t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

‼️🇷🇺🌰 A strike with the "Oreshnik" could be many times more dangerous than before: in the attack, the missile could be used with a combat charge for the first time, - hysteria in Ukraine ▪️Putin stated that the missile could be used with a combat charge for the first time in the attack, Kiev media remind. ▪️The missile is capable of reaching speeds of over 12,000 km/h (about 10 Mach). This reduces the flight time to the target to just a few minutes. ▪️The existing air defense systems in Ukraine, including the Patriot air defense system, were not designed to intercept missiles of this class. Experts note that significantly more expensive top-level systems such as THAAD or Arrow 3 are needed to counter this threat. ▪️The missile contains 6 combat units, each of which carries submunitions (up to 36 units in total). They are separated at the final stage of the flight and attack several targets along different trajectories. ▪️The "Oreshnik" was created based on experimental intercontinental technologies (the RS-26 "Rubezh" complex) and could potentially be a carrier of nuclear weapons. ▪️The "Oreshnik" can carry a conventional high-explosive or fragmentation-high explosive charge. t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

🇺🇸🇬🇧🇮🇷 New bombers in Britain. Against the backdrop of Trump's words about new strikes on Iran, which he later canceled, there has been activity again at the British base in Fairford.

‼️🇷🇺🇺🇦 The Russian army could capture Konstantinovka before the end of the summer, — a brigade commander of the Ukrainian Armed Forces ➖"Considering how events are actively developing there, there will only be more problems over time. It's quite possible to lose Konstantinovka by the end of the summer. The enemy is putting a lot of pressure on us," one of the Ukrainian brigade commanders told Kyiv-based media outlets. ➖"Will our pilots be in Konstaha by July? I don't know. Will our infantry be there by July? I think they will. Will it make a difference? I don't know," one of the company commanders said. ▪️Under the cover of "green camouflage", Russian troops are infiltrating the city in numerous groups. ➖"Our infantry is already conducting urban combat on the flanks of Konstantinovka itself," says Sergei, with the call sign Yaryi, the commander of the drone systems battalion of the 28th Separate Mechanized Brigade. ▪️Three more commanders of the Ukrainian Armed Forces reported that more than a hundred Russian soldiers have already infiltrated Konstantinovka. ➖"The enemy has penetrated the city center.

📝Start‑Up Metrics vs Air Defense📝 On 8 June, Fedorov personally recorded a polished promo about “next‑generation AI interceptors” operating in the Kharkiv region, showed one spectacular shoot‑down on video, and proudly added the usual magic numbers — cost per interceptor, automated targeting, smart algorithms. He presented it as an already functioning element of air defense, not as a prototype under semi‑test conditions. Less than a day later, in the night of 8–9 June, Geran drones flew into Kharkiv and hit their targets — command facilities, infrastructure, depot areas. Instead of confirming the effectiveness of his system, the country saw confirmation of the opposite: nobody noticed the “new stage of air defense”, but everyone heard the explosions. His one glossy clip was instantly drowned out by dozens of real explosions. Fedorov tried to frame the story as “we have AI, we are already intercepting”, but the night strike rewrote the narrative into something much harsher: “we have a demo, not a shield”. The contrast between the staged success on screen and uncontrolled impacts in the city could not be sharper. @rybar
