Ukraine forces destroy Russian column with Corsar
Ukrainian Guardsman blasts a Russian armoured vehicle with a Corsar guided missile launcher from a distance of 1.5 miles.
The Centre for Strategic Communications (StratCom) said on 6th June: “With each shot, the Ukrainian defender reduces the enemy equipment!
“This is the work of a National Guardsman with the call sign ‘Hulk’ in Donbas. The warrior owns the Corsar system and neutralised enemy equipment from a distance of 2.5 kilometres (1.55 miles)!”
SratCom added: “Real superheroes are defending Ukraine!”
In the footage, ‘Hulk’ is seen shooting a missile from the launcher before apparently hitting an enemy armoured vehicle travelling along the road. By the end of the clip, the whole convoy has been destroyed.
Russian troops invaded Ukraine on 24th February in what the Kremlin is still calling a "special military operation". Today marks the 104th day of the campaign.
From 24th February to 6th June, the total combat losses of Russian troops stand at around 31,250 personnel, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The Ukrainian military also claims that Russia has lost 1,386 tanks, 3,400 armoured fighting vehicles, 690 artillery systems, 207 multiple launch rocket systems, 96 anti-aircraft systems, 211 warplanes, 176 helicopters, 2,395 motor vehicles and fuel tankers, 13 vessels, 551 unmanned aerial vehicles, 53 units of special equipment, and 125 cruise missiles.
Meanwhile, the Ukrainian Centre for Strategic Communications (StratCom) claimed on 6th June that Russian Major General Roman Kutuzov was killed in a battle near Popasna in the Luhansk region.
StratCom said: “Exclusive. Meet. Commander of the DNR's 1st Army Corps (of the orcs), Major General Roman Kutuzov has been officially denazified and demilitarized”.

Boris Johnson - 'no confidence vote 59% backing is a decisive win'

Boris Johnson - 'no confidence vote 59% backing is a decisive
BREAKING NEWS Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Monday (June 6) that his victory in a confidence vote was a "convincing" and "decisive" win despite 41% of his own lawmakers voting against him.
Nonetheless, Johnson said the result would enable the country to move on from questions about his leadership.
Having scored a sweeping election victory in 2019, the prime minister has been under mounting pressure after he and staff held alcohol-fuelled parties in his Downing Street office and residence when Britain was under strict COVID-19 lockdowns.
"I think it's a convincing result, a decisive result and what it means is that as a government we can move on and focus on the stuff that I think really matters to people," he told reporters.
"We can focus on what we're doing to help people with the cost of living, what we're doing to clear the COVID backlogs, what we're doing to make streets and communities safer by putting more police out," he said.
"It gives us the opportunity to continue to unite, to level up, and to strengthen our economy."
He also said he was not interested in holding a snap national election, which some had suggested may be his next move to attempt to reassert his authority.

According to the Russian Ministry of Defence (MoD), forces shot down a Ukrainian military transport plane carrying weapons and munitions near the Black Sea port of Odesa.
The ministry said Russian missiles also struck an artillery training centre in Ukraine's Sumy region where foreign instructors worked. Another strike destroyed a "foreign mercenaries'" outpost in the Odesa region, it said.
Also on Saturday the ministry released the footage of what it says Russian military helicopters Ka-2 being loaded with ammo and striking unspecified targets on Ukrainian territory. Reuters could not independently verify the location of the footage or the date when it was shot.

Civil airfield near Kharkiv damaged by missile strike
Description
Civil airfield near Kharkiv
A private airfield in Kharkiv region was hit by a missile strike early Saturday (June 4), the manager of the Kharkiv Aeroclub told Reuters. Local authorities did not report any casualties.
The strike destroyed several hangars and one plane.
Ten planes were damaged, Kharkiv Aeroclub manager Serhii Filatov said.
The planes stationed on the airfield were used for sport and private matters, pilot Oleksii Ahiievych told Reuters.
“I don’t understand what goals they (Russians) tried to achieve here,” he said while inspecting damaged planes.
Kharkiv, Ukraine's second biggest city, had been relatively quiet since Ukrainian forces regained territory around it and pushed back Russian troops earlier this month.
Kharkiv suffered heavy bombardment from the very start of the Russian invasion on Feb. 24, which left the city of 1.5 million a wasteland of ruined buildings and debris.

Sweden and Finland joining NATO would be tough for Russia, top U.S. general says
Finland and Sweden joining NATO would put Russia in a difficult military position in the Baltic Sea, top U.S. General Mark Milley said on Saturday (June 4) during a visit to Stockholm ahead of a military exercise.
The two Nordic neighbours, which both have long borders on the Baltic Sea, applied last month to join the military alliance amid security concerns after Russia invaded Ukraine in February, although they face objections from Turkey.
Their joining would mean the Baltic Sea's coastline would, bar short strips around Russian cities Kaliningrad and St Petersburg, be encircled by NATO members.
"So from a Russian perspective that will be very problematic for them, militarily speaking, and it would be very advantageous to NATO," said Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
"The Baltic (Sea is) very strategically important, it's one of the great seaways of the world," Milley added.

Russian Ka-52 Killer helicopters carry out combat ops on Ukrainian targets
A Russian Ka-52 killer chopper takes to the sky and carries out combat operations against Ukrainian targets.
The Russian Ministry of Defence (MoD) said Ka-52 and Mi-28 multi-purpose attack helicopters were used in the mission.
The Russian military also claimed that they managed to destroy key command posts and a number of armoured vehicles.
The MoD said on 20th May: “Ka-52 reconnaissance attack and Mi-28 multi-purpose attack helicopters crews during the special military operation.
“Aviation crews continue to carry out tasks to destroy armoured vehicles and military infrastructure facilities of the AFU [Armed Forces of Ukraine], escort military convoys, deliver airborne troops and military cargo, and provide air support to units carrying out tasks within the framework of the special operation.
“As a result of the next combat missions, command posts and armoured vehicles of the AFU units were destroyed.”
Meanwhile, following the fall of the port city of Mariupol, the Russian authorities plan to tear down the Azovstal metallurgical plant and turn the city into a “resort”, according to the Institute for the Study of War.
The Kremlin also says that the Ukrainian fighters from the Azovstal plant have been taken to a former prison colony in a Russian-controlled part of Donetsk.
Russia’s defence ministry said 771 Ukrainian fighters from the steelworks had surrendered up until 19th May, taking the total to 1,730, and 80 of the fighters were wounded.
However, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called Russia's invasion of Ukraine an "absolute failure" and said Russian leaders were afraid to acknowledge "that catastrophic mistakes were made at the highest military and state level".
Zelenskyy also said that said Ukraine is determined to reclaim control over the southern cities of Kherson, Melitopol, Berdiansk, Enerhodar and Mariupol, now occupied by Russian forces.

Ukrainian MoD accuses Russia of 'blasting Ukrainian positions with thermobaric warheads'
The Ukrainian Ministry of Defence has accused 'Russian Armed Forces of blasting Ukrainian positions with thermobaric warheads' as the MoD calls on NATO to urgently supply them with similar weapons.
The Ukrainian MoD said the Russians used a TOS-1 multiple rocket launcher to strike at Ukrainian targets near Novomykhailivka in the eastern region of Donetsk Oblast.
The 30-barrel or 24-barrel multiple rocket launcher, mounted on a T-72 tank chassis, is capable of firing thermobaric warheads, a type of explosive that uses oxygen in the surrounding area to generate a high-temperature blast.
The MoD also called Russia’s invasion the “largest and most horrific war of the 21st century” and appealed to NATO to supply them with similar Multiple Launch Rocket Systems as a matter of urgency.
The Ukrainian Defence Ministry said on 26th May: “Russian TOS-1s shelling Ukrainian positions near Novomykhailivka, Donetsk region.
“This is what the largest and most horrific war of the 21st century looks like. Ukraine is ready to strike back. To do this, we need NATO-style MLRS [Multiple Launch Rocket Systems]. Immediately!”
In other developments, Ukrainian officials said Russian forces have attacked over 40 towns in the eastern Donbas region.
They added that five civilians died, 12 were wounded and 47 civilian sites were destroyed or damaged in the latest attacks.
Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree that makes it easier for Ukrainians in occupied areas to become citizens of Russia.
Russia has also done away with the upper age limit for contractual service in its military.
Ukraine has called Russia's offer to lift the blockade of its Black Sea ports in return for the lifting of some sanctions "blackmail".
The blockade has led to shortages in wheat and cooking oil across the world.

Ukraine forces destroy amphibious Russian tank with Spanish grenade launch
Ukrainian soldiers bomb a BMP-2 amphibious fighting vehicle following a Russian attempt to cross the Seversky Donets River.
Ukrainian Special Operations Forces (SSO) carried out the attack near the village of Dronivka in the eastern Ukrainian region of Donetsk Oblast.
The Ukrainian military said they blasted the BMP-2 amphibious fighting vehicle with a Spanish Instalaza C90 shoulder-fired grenade launcher.
The Instalaza C90 weighs less than 5 kilogrammes and is considered one of the lightest launchers in its class.
Troops finished off the Russian BMP-2 after it was abandoned during an unsuccessful attempt to cross the river by the Russian Armed Forces.
As the BMP-2 still appeared to be in working order, a decision was taken to destroy the amphibious vehicle.
The Ukrainian Centre for Strategic Communications (StratCom) said on 25th May: “SSO fighters destroy the ruined BMP-2, which was abandoned during an attempt to cross the Seversky Donets River near Dronivka.
“Shots were fired from the Spanish grenade launcher Instalaza C90.”
In other developments, Ukrainian officials said Russian forces have attacked over 40 towns in the eastern Donbas region.

Huge EXPLOSION as ammo-laden Russian tank is destroyed by Ukrainian forces

Huge EXPLOSION as ammo-laden Russian tank is destroyed by Ukrainian force
An ammo-laden Russian tank is turned into scrap in a spectacular explosion after Ukrainian forces score a direct hit on it.
The video opens with several explosions breaking out in and around a devastated settlement among fields as Ukrainian forces shell the area.
The drone filming from the sky then zooms in on a burning wreck, which appears to be a Ural-4320 general purpose off-road 6×6 vehicle daubed with a white 'Z'.
A spectacular explosion then fills the screen as the ammo inside the vehicle detonates and debris is flung all around.
Fire then rages as a thick plume of dark smoke rises into the sky.
Newsflash obtained the footage from the 30th Independent Mechanised Brigade - a formation of the Ukrainian Ground Forces - yesterday (Monday, 23rd May).
The brigade said (in Ukrainian): "The enemy vehicle 'Ural' with ammunition destroyed by our soldiers burns no worse than the cruiser 'Moskva'."
The Russian guided missile cruiser Moskva famously sunk in the Black Sea on 14th April after Ukrainian forces damaged the ship with two R-360 Neptune anti-ship missiles. Russian media claimed the sinking was due to "stormy seas".
Russia invaded Ukraine on 24th February in what the Kremlin is now calling a "special military operation" to "protect Donbass". Today marks the 90th day of the invasion.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) reported earlier today that Russia had lost about 29,350 troops between 24th February and 24th May.
The AFU General Staff added that Russia had also lost 1,302 tanks, 3,194 armoured fighting vehicles, 606 artillery systems, 201 multiple launch rocket systems, 93 anti-aircraft systems, 205 aircraft, 170 helicopters, 2,213 motor vehicles and fuel tankers, 13 vessels, 480 unmanned aerial vehicles, 43 units of special equipment and 112 cruise missiles over the same period.
Russian forces are currently trying to encircle the eastern cities of Sievierodonetsk, Lysychansk and Rubizhne, according to the UK Ministry of Defence.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russian troops are trying to destroy "everything living" in the embattled Donbas region, but he reiterated that his country remains willing to exchange prisoners with Russia.

Lads bringing aid to Ukraine altercations & adventures as they help victims of Russian aggression
Vans Without Borders have returned to Ukraine to continue our vital and groundbreaking work to deliver humanitarian aid to vulnerable Ukrainians who have been left isolated as a consequence of Russian aggression.
Exclusive by Valerie Browne
Donate to Vans Without Borders here: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/vans-...
During their last mission, we pioneered routes across Ukraine and were some of the first humanitarian volunteers to deliver international aid in Bucha, Irpin and Chernihiv, after they were devastated.
Their team has now grown to four vans and we will be looking to bring tonnes of aid across Ukraine, but need your help to achieve this.
Every penny you donate will be spent directly on helping the Ukrainian people, as all of our team members are volunteers - unlike international organisations who take up to 15% of donations for salaries.
To fill one van with canned food and essential supplies - sourced from a local Ukrainian business - it costs around £1,500.
A large part of our mission is also delivering targeted aid to vulnerable refugees such as those with disabilities, children and the elderly.

The Kremlin accuses Britain of 'helping Ukraine produce war propaganda'
The Russian military has claimed to have destroyed 21 Ukrainian strongholds with high-precision missiles amid claims the UK is helping Volodymyr Zelenskyy produce morale-boosting propaganda videos.
The Russian Ministry of Defence (MoD) said in a statement on 3rd June: “High-precision air-based missiles of the Russian Aerospace Forces have hit 21 areas of concentrated AFU (Armed Forces of Ukraine) manpower and military equipment during the day.
“Operational-tactical, army and unmanned aviation hit 37 areas of concentrated Ukrainian manpower and military equipment in total.
“The attacks resulted in the elimination of over 360 nationalists and 49 weapons and military equipment including 1 detection and airspace control radar station in Slavyansk, Donetsk People's Republic.
The Kremlin have accused Britain of 'helping Ukraine produce war propaganda'.
They state 'The Kiev regime, with British financial support, has organised the production of ‘morale-raising’ videos for Western and Ukrainian audiences.
“In particular, on May 28, a staged video was filmed near Meshkovka, Nikolaev region, of the alleged ‘high efficiency’ of the use of Western weapons by Ukrainian nationalists.
“To add more drama to the future film, at the insistence of British supervisors, a re-enactment of a fake battle between Ukrainians and outnumbered ‘Russian soldiers’ was created on the set.
“The roles of the ‘opponents’ in the staged short film were performed by members of the local territorial defence unit wearing red armbands.
“In the absence of trophy Russian equipment, the mock enemy appears in the frames using Ukrainian APCs and armoured vehicles.

Olga, one of the residents of a bomb shelter located in a basement of a kindergarten, told Reuters reporters on Wednesday (June 1) that there are about 140 residents currently living at the premises, but at one moment there were more than 600 people in the shelter.
“We do have a pharmacy, with which we can provide help not only to our residents of bomb shelter, but also to people around us,” she told reporters. “I repeat once again - we are supplied with groceries, we don’t have a humanitarian catastrophe.”
