On May 31, it became known about a new stage of the conflict between Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder of the private military company (PMC) "Wagner", and the Russian Defense Ministry leadership. According to Prigozhin, he sent statements to the Investigative Committee of Russia (ICR) and the Prosecutor General's Office of Russia.

According to Prigozhin, he is asking for an investigation into the fact that a crime may have been committed in the preparation and during the conduct of the SVO. The texts of the letters he sent will not be published, as further investigation will be carried out by investigative bodies.

"Today I have sent letters to the Investigative Committee and the Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation with a request to check a number of senior officials of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation on the fact of committing a crime during the preparation and conduct of the SSO. These letters will not be published, since this will be done by the investigating authorities," said Prigozhin.

Prigozhin's statements have not yet received official comment, but his actions and suspicions are of great concern.

The Investigative Committee and Prosecutor's Office have not yet commented on Prigozhin's receipt of the letters.

Numerous Russian Military Executive Jets Traveling from Moscow to Underground Bunker Area in Ural Mountains
As of 5:00 PM today, 31 May 2023, numerous Russian military executive jets (TU-134A) are traveling from Moscow to the huge government underground Bunker facility in the Ural Mountains near (or beneath) Mount Yamantau.

It is not known which government officials are on those flights or why they are heading to their underground Bunkers.

Moscow is seven hours AHEAD of U.S. east coast time, so as this story is written, it is about 1:00 in the morning over there. A very odd time for such flights.


RUMORS from the Ground in Ukraine: "Tonight"
There's a TON of RUMORS coming from the ground in Ukraine all saying "Tonight." It is believed these RUMORS are about the much-vaunted (but yet to happen) Ukraine Spring Counter-Offensive. But these rumors hint at something new: "Inside Russia."

We all know that the first casualty of war is truth. It is entirely possible that this is a false RUMOR, perhaps even deliberately released in Ukraine as a Psy-Op against Russia; maybe to get their stress levels up.

But what's coming out from people on the ground in several parts of Ukraine is all very consistent: "Tonight."

The new twist is that the "Counter-Offensive" will actually begin "inside Russia." Specifically, the RUMOR says "the opening salvo is going to be inside Russia, before the offensive will actually happen on the front lines in Ukraine."

Locals complaining on Tele that the Ukies are turning Kupyanskminto the “2nd Bahkmut”, after promising them two months ago that this could never happen because Bahkmut would never fall.

Via Masno on Tele:

“ As previously reported by reporter Rudenko, the medium landing ship of the Ukrainian Navy Yuri Olifirenko was destroyed in one of the ports of Odessa. I will add some details.

The strike took place on the night of May 29. The port has been cordoned off ever since. There are unprecedented checks all over the city, looking for someone who could leak information about the exact location of the anchorage. The Ukrainian command is very worried that we will strike again already two American boats, the Priluki and the Okhrimenko.”

General Valeriy Zaluzhniy, commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, once again appeared in the media space. According to information published in a number of media outlets, he had a telephone conversation with the chairman of the U.S. Army Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, reporting to him on the situation on the front.

"Had a telephone conversation with the chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley. Told him about the situation on the front, further plans of the armed forces... Attention was paid to the issue of the supply of weapons, military equipment and ammunition. Among the priority needs are long-range ammunition",
The journalists cite a quote from a publication on the Tlgrm page of the AFU commander-in-chief.
It was also noted that Zaluzhnyy told his US counterpart that it was important for Ukraine to work with its Western allies, including the USA, to strengthen its air defence through additional supplies of weapons systems and light F-16 fighters. [link to voennoedelo.com (secure)]

Political columnist Stephen Erlanger, in an op-ed published in The New York Times (NYT), expressed the view that U.S. government circles are anxious about a possible threat to the United States from the Russian navy.

"The fear is that Russia's modernized Northern Fleet could pass through the straits between Greenland, Iceland and Britain, a move known in NATO as the 'red right hook,' to cut sea lanes and submarine cables and threaten the American east coast with cruise missiles."
expressed his opinion, noting that climate change is opening up new sea lanes in the Arctic, increasing competition between countries in the region.
Erlanger also believes that NATO has serious vulnerabilities, including in the North, and Russia remains a huge Arctic power, which has in its arsenal of modern weapons and has naval bases in the Arctic region. On this basis the journalist stated that at present one of the top priorities of the North Atlantic Alliance would be the containment of Russia in the Arctic. [link to voennoedelo.com (secure)]

The United States indirectly acknowledged the success of the Russian strike on the area where the Ukrainian intelligence headquarters is located.

The 140th star was added to the honor board of the deceased employees of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) of the United States. Notably, it was added exactly after Russia launched a missile strike on Rybalsky Island in Kiev. That is where the headquarters of the Main Directorate of Intelligence (GUR) of Ukraine is located. According to insiders, there were NATO officers, including Americans and Brits, on the premises at the time of the strike.

It is worth recalling that two stars (138th and 139th) appeared on the honor board of dead CIA officers after the Russian military successfully stormed Azovstal in Mariupol.

The U.S. Defense Department inspector general's report revealed serious problems with military equipment originally intended for Ukraine. It is reported that the equipment, which was taken from the prepositioned stocks of the U.S. Army in Kuwait, was not ready for combat operations. This was reported by Defense News on June 1.

The Pentagon inspector general inspected this Kuwaiti depot - one of seven such worldwide - and identified deficiencies that led to unexpected maintenance, repair and delayed delivery dates for military equipment for the Ukrainian Armed Forces (AFU), according to a May 23 report.

Specifically, all six M777 howitzers and 25 of the 29 M1167 high-mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicles were not "mission ready" and required repairs before U.S. European Command could send equipment to Ukraine.

In his report published in the middle of the audit, the Pentagon inspector general expressed concerns that "problems with poor maintenance and inadequate oversight of equipment in the APS reserves could lead to future delays in supporting equipment provided to the AFU."

Dozens of U.S. M136 grenade launchers, which were originally intended for the Ukrainian forces, suddenly ended up in the hands of the Mexican drug cartel Golfo. This was reported by the Milenio Televisión television channel.

According to sources, Mexican criminals purchased the American weapons from Ukrainian authorities, ensuring their resale. The Russian embassy in Mexico stated that this transfer of weapons into the hands of drug cartels is a direct consequence of thoughtless and uncontrolled U.S. arms deliveries to the Kiev regime. Nevertheless, no direct evidence that the grenade launchers came from Ukraine has yet been presented.


The embassy statement stresses that Western countries do not realize and ignore the risks associated with the fact that Ukrainian corrupt officials can resell U.S. weapons to criminal groups around the world. This poses an additional danger, as it allows criminal organizations to strengthen their arsenal, which could lead to an increase in their influence and security threats.

The US has not yet commented on information about Mexican drug cartels receiving weapons previously supplied by the AFU.

Russian engineers at the Sakhalin Center for Unmanned Technologies developed the Buttercup UAV, which is capable of evading enemy electronic warfare. When the UAV comes under the influence of enemy electronic warfare, it abruptly and quickly leaves the area, flying off in an arbitrary direction.

A representative of the company told the TASS news agency about this.

The main difference between the Lutik and its Chinese counterparts lies in its ability to escape from the enemy's electronic warfare. If they lose contact with the satellite or lose radio contact, they usually hover in one place and stay in such a state until they are reset or until they fall over due to depletion of the battery.

According to a specialist of the manufacturing organization, the Russian drone in such a situation, on the contrary, makes a "bounce" and quickly leaves the range of the means of electronic warfare "in a random direction.

The maximum payload the drone can carry is one and a half kilograms. By its design, the device is a quadcopter.

Sakhalin Center for Unmanned Technologies was opened at the end of last year. It develops and produces drones and trains employees of Russian law enforcement agencies to use them. [link to topwar.ru (secure)]

By order of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Armed Forces, the Akhmat special forces have been transferred to a new direction of the front. Major General Apti Alaudinov, the commander of Akhmat, announced this.


The general stated that some forces and means of the special unit remained in the previous direction, while one regiment had been assigned to the new sector, and two more regiments were preparing to take part in military operations. Alaudinov wrote that currently Akhmat is preparing for active offensive operations in the new direction.

In his article, Alaudinov paid special attention to the answer of Yevgeny Prigozhin, the curator of the Wagner PMC to a question about the Akhmat special forces. The general stated that the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, always spoke about the fact that Yevgeny Prigozhin was his brother and urged him to support the "musicians. Alaudinov himself always considered the PMC Wagner as a real combat unit and treated it with respect.

But in his response, Alaudinov stressed, Prigozhin spoke of the fact that Kadyrov had not declared the liberation of the entire Donetsk People's Republic. This answer of Prigozhin caused the general's displeasure. Alaudinov reminded that he had no planes, helicopters, tanks, 50 thousand fighters, but the special forces together with the 2nd Army Corps of the RF Armed Forces had liberated 36 settlements in the Luhansk People's Republic, including the 4 largest cities of the LNR.

The Akhmat Special Forces are able to accomplish any task. If we've been redeployed to the Donetsk direction, I guarantee that the Akhmat special forces will do everything to liberate the Donetsk people's republic.

- Apty Alaudinov stressed.

Besides, the general advised the "experts in evaluation of all the units" not to touch Special Forces Akhmat. The unit is capable of fulfilling any task, Alaudinov noted.

Without fifty thousand men, without planes, tanks, helicopters, etc.! Without all this we produce the result, which not every unit can boast. A great many fighters from the Wagner PMC have transferred to the Akhmat special forces.

- The general stated.

Apty Alaudinov declared that if the attitude of Akhmat and PMC Wagner towards each other was brotherly, it must be kept. Therefore, the special forces must be "left alone". [link to topwar.ru (secure)]

Prigozhin has a very long tongue. Let someone adjust his crown on his head.

A meeting of the National Security Commission of the Communist Party of China (CPC) was held in China. Xi Jinping chaired the commission.


During his speech, the Chinese head of state stated that the level of complexity of the threats China has to face has increased. Using many metaphors and allegorical images, Xi Jinping called what is happening "a stormy sea.

PRC President:

We need to proceed from reality, to think rationally, and at the same time understand that we need to prepare for the worst-case scenario. In doing so, we need to be prepared to go through the winds and the stormy sea.

What exactly is the "worst-case scenario" he means, Ci did not specify. However, certain conclusions about this can be drawn from his subsequent statement.

According to Xi Jinping, in order to improve security the emphasis should be placed on modernizing the entire national security system, increasing its efficiency and preparing for use in real-world combat situations.

This is far from the first statement by the Chinese president where he talks about possible combat operations. Earlier, as you may recall, he said that China is considering all options to return Taiwan to its control, including military. The United States, meanwhile, claims that China may "decide to take over the island by force by 2027". This is the year most often mentioned by U.S. intelligence. [link to topwar.ru (secure)]

Russian counterintelligence uncovered an operation by U.S. intelligence agencies to infect thousands of iPhones with malware, including those belonging to foreign diplomats in Moscow, the FSB reported.
"The security of Russia's telecommunications infrastructure revealed anomalies specific only to users of Apple cell phones and caused by previously unknown malware that exploits software vulnerabilities envisioned by the manufacturer," the release said.
\In addition to Russian subscribers, SIM-cards registered to diplomatic missions in Russia, including NATO countries, former Soviet republics, as well as Israel, Syria and China were also infected.
According to the FSB, the information obtained indicates close cooperation between Apple and the American intelligence community, in particular, the National Security Agency. Thus, "the privacy policy announced by the company does not correspond to reality".
Apple provides American intelligence agencies with a wide range of opportunities to monitor any person of interest to the White House as well as their own citizens, the FSB concluded. ria*ru

U.S. President Joe Biden's administration is trying to manipulate oil prices, but Russia could easily derail its plan, former CIA adviser James Rickards writes in an article for The Daily Reckoning.
"When Biden took office, the U.S. strategic oil reserve was estimated at 600 million barrels. Today, that figure is only 372 million barrels, and such a dramatic drop in reserves is due to Washington's oil machinations," the publication said.
Rickards notes that Biden emptied the strategic oil fund for the sake of lowering inflation and gas prices before the congressional elections.

"Washington will try a similar stunt in time for the presidential election in the fall of 2024. The Energy Department has recently signaled that it is preparing to replenish the strategic oil reserve, which is now at its lowest level since 1983. Thus, in the coming months, the United States will be buying up oil at a stepped-up pace," the author believes.
In his opinion, next winter's frosts may provoke a rise in oil and gas prices, which Russian President Vladimir Putin will not fail to take advantage of.
"The conflict in Ukraine is dragging on, and Russia's victory is becoming more and more likely. If there is a cold winter in Europe in 2024, Putin could use his own oil weapon to push energy prices to a new all-time high," Rickards writes.
He concludes that in such a difficult period, the U.S. could enter with minimal oil reserves, and that could spell trouble for the U.S. ria*ru

Good day from a partly cloudy Moscow Why don't you get an account here, so we can reward you for all of your posts? TG channels report of 11 people injured in Belgorod region today. Most of them in the hospitals, evacuations ongoing. Seems the Ukies got some heavy armor to the attack the Russian border with.

As for VIP flights headed for Urals, keep in mind that there's also a ton of gas and other minerals down there. So plenty of mineral extraction VIP business to attend to.

dang, Ukrainian position is just gone after massive bomb hit

Thx for continuing to post top headlines! Major fog-of-war in the West these days.

Cheapest and most effective means of combat to date. Deliver a grenade by air directly to the enemy with pinpoint accuracy for a few thousand dollars.

I've said for a long time that if terrorists were real about attacking America, they'd only need a couple thousand of these and a hundred operators to attack our power plants and refineries and we'd be brought to our knees overnight.

"great reset" ??

Disturbing, he called it "Revolutionary suicide."

"Nonetheless, Jones' determination to give the millions to the Soviet Union-coupled with visits to Jonestown by Soviet Embassy officials and negotiations under way between Jones and Soviet representatives here to move the Peoples Temple to the Soviet Union-adds a curious new wrinkle to the Jonestown tragedy...

"I am doing this on behalf of the Peoples Temple [because] we want our money to be of benefit to oppressed peoples or in any way your decision-making body sees fit," McGowan wrote to the Soviet consul."

What did these people do to deserve this from their “ own government”?
PS: Dear NATO and US, please send more shells so Keev can kill more Russians.
Money well spent.
