Yeah, saw this as well. Interesting. Not a Putin troll for sure, but odd that he is doing this. Let's see if he goes silent. 

BTW, should have thanked you as well @The Dog

Appreciate your postings.

Well, Russia has been seriously threatening the Baltic states over the past month or two.

And Russian lawmakers are talking about revoking Lithuania's independence recognition.

Oddly, he does seem to be working with a group, because they got the tweets about his IP address being discovered to be in Ontario labeled as Adult Content. It's clearly not, so that's not actual users reporting it. It's the work of a group that doesn't want that part seen.

The article by Ondrej Kundra is a good one. The key to understanding Putin is that he will engage in diplomacy only if he thinks he can get a better deal that way than on the battlefield or by other subversive or hostile means.  He’s completely insensitive to Ukrainian lives, of course, and more or less insensitive to the damage he inflicts on Russians. The moment you notice that Putin is serious about negotiations is the moment you know he thinks he’s going to lose. 

Which is why Zelensky should treat Vlad like the Senator in the Godfather 2.

On his profile it says it's 4 people sharing the account. He has shown pictures of people in uniform in trenches around Kherson, so my thoughts are he has constant contact with two of his buddies and just posts what they tell him because they're out in the field without internet and cell phones. So the main guy posting and running the account may be back in Canada, but he's just echoing what his buddies in the field are telling him. I could be wrong of course, but he does post some information that has been corroborated, for whatever that's worth.

Long thread here. The tl;dr version: Ukraine is outmanned and having to rush poorly trained territorial defense forces into the front lines. Ukraine lacks enough artillery to hit targets they've identified.

How many of the M777's and such we promised them have been delivered and deployed?  How soon until the rest of them are running?

We sent 90. Canada sent 4. Australia 6. Pretty sure they've all been in action. 

The French, Czechs, Norwegians, etc have sent in some other artillery, but obviously they need a hell of a lot more.

I should have mentioned that it's been posted earlier in this thread that the Ukrainians have had maintenance issues with the M777s. They've had to send them to Poland to be repaired.

For 155mm artillery, they also received:

18 Krab from Poland

22 M109A3GN from Norway

6 Caesar from France

12 PzH2000 (5 from Netherlands, 7 from Germany)

Some details of the death of Major General Roman Kutuzov.

It is reported that his headquarters of Kutuzov, consisting of an armored personnel carrier, two "Tigers" and a communications vehicle, advanced to the front line in the Nikolaevka area. The column almost immediately came under artillery fire of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Presumably, the 44th separate artillery brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine fired at the control group.

For several days (June 4-5), the brigade division conducted reconnaissance of the front line using UAVs and technical means of radio interception. As a result of comprehensive reconnaissance, the Armed Forces of Ukraine managed to establish the alleged location of the Russian Armed Forces unit. And already on June 5, the 3rd battery of the 1st artillery division of the 44th brigade was struck, as a result of which General Roman Kutuzov died.

One of the tributes from Russian social media

Quote

General
Someone has an easy career
Only he never sat in the offices,
Started with clean epaulettes, earned an officer,
And a little out of time, becoming older, turned gray,
It shook him around all the garrisons
He did not look for easy places throughout his entire service.
Somehow he lived, he is a bit modest for the title,
But he did not hesitate to wear a cross under his vest
General, you carried your service, not for the size of the stars,
And for your country
General, you did your duty, you did everything you could
You are forever in line
The flag flies above the ground, the monolith of the pantheon
As if the sky props up its shoulder,
Somehow he lived, he is a bit modest for the title,
But in battles he was baptized by fate more than once
And when again the country called in a difficult hour
He fulfilled his order with dignity ...
A candle burns about you in the temple of God,
You are now the troops of the Lord warrior
General, you carried your service, not for the size of the stars,
And for your country
General, you did your duty, you did everything you could
You are forever in line

An ad hoc US Air Force task force known as the “Grey Wolf Team” is advising Ukraine’s air force in its defensive air campaign against Russia’s invasion. 

“We exist because there’s a bunch of motivated people who want to help out. There’s not another team like this in the Air Force that’s doing the same thing,” said an Air Force fighter pilot who has worked extensively on the Grey Wolf Team.

Quote

Named in honor of Col. Oleksandr “Grey Wolf” Oksanchenko, a legendary Ukrainian pilot killed in the war’s opening days, and based at Ramstein Air Base in Germany, the Grey Wolf Team focuses on understanding the limited technological tools available to the Ukrainians, whose air force comprises mostly Soviet-era hardware. With input from Ukrainian counterparts, the team passes recommendations up the Department of Defense’s chain of command for “low-cost, game-changing” solutions to Ukraine’s air combat challenges, one team member told Coffee or Die Magazine.

SSO of Ukraine: three enemy "Grady" were burned.

 During reconnaissance of the enemy's rear in the Severodonetsk direction, SSO operators found several MLRS BM-21 "Hail" installations. They were used by the enemy for the shelling of Severodonetsk, with the help of an unmanned complex ... 1/2

2/2

 ... SSO passed these data to NMU artillerymen - soldiers of howitzer calculations M777. Colleagues destroyed 3 out of 4 enemy MLRS installations with accurate fire. Another Hail installation was damaged as a result of the shelling. The artillerymen were corrected by the operators of the SSO of Ukraine.

That was my first thought as well, in fact, that seems to be the only reasonable way.  I'm just struggling to imagine there is not one video of all of these people crammed in rail cars or being crammed inro rail cars at gunpoint.  That's a stadium full of people and that kind of movement wouldn't be easy to manage.

It's women, children, and the elderly looking to flee a scorched earth war zone. One woman from Mariupol that was interviewed said she was told of a meeting place to evacuate. When she went there the only choice offered for evacuation was Russia.

The deportations have taken place over 100 days from not only Mariupol, but from other parts of the Donbas. This isn’t a particularly challenging logistical operation and doesn’t require too much blatant force.  The occupying army shows up, says shit is going to get bad, and that there’s only one way to get out and it’s to Russia. Combo of rail and simply “you drive the car that way.”

The pattern of people fleeing to the land of the aggressor is a tale as old as war itself.
