Trying a new breakthrough of the Armed Forces in the Kursk region

Russian wire telegram channels write about a new attempt to break through the Armed Forces in the area of ​​the village of Tetkino in the Kursk region, located in the immediate vicinity of the border. The offensive, according to their data, began tonight.

The scale of hostilities is still unclear. Shot writes that up to 250 APU troops and more than 15 units of heavy equipment, as well as ATVs, take part in it. According to Russian wire-tires telegram channels, the attack failed. "Fisherman" writes that "as a result of a fierce battle," the Ukrainian military has moved to their original positions. Mash also reports that the Ukrainian units do not have “promotions in the Russian Federation”.

“Military Corner” Semen Pegov reports that in addition to attempts to break through at Tetkino, the Armed Forces began an attack on Russian positions on the village of a new path, which is located 20 kilometers along the border to the east.

Officially, neither the Armed Forces nor the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation did not comment on the situation.

In the morning, the commander -in -chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Alexander Syrsky, on Facebook, wrote that the operation in the Kursk region "achieved most of the goals." According to him, she allowed us to prevent the offensive of the Russian Federation in the Sumy and Kharkov regions. The buffer zone created by the Armed Forces in the border areas “remains relevant now,” he said. In his post, Syrfa called the operation "ongoing."

In Moscow, they can limit Internet access-because of the parade. On the eve of the authorities demanded not to launch fireworks

The Russian authorities warned of possible restrictions on Internet access "in connection with ensuring the safety of passing festive events." The corresponding SMS from the Unified State System for the Prevention and Emergency of Emergencies (RSCHS) was received by residents of the Moscow region.

On the morning of May 5, residents of Moscow began to complain about malfunctions in the work of mobile communications and the Internet. Beeline and Megafon confirmed the existence of problems, emphasizing that this occurs for reasons beyond the control of the operators themselves.

Complaints of malfunctions in the work of mobile Internet coincided with time with the rehearsal of the air part of the Victory parade.

The day before, the Moscow police demanded that the residents refrain from launching fireworks on the eve of May 9 because of some “frequent cases of provocations” with their use and threatened violators of administrative and criminal liability.

The parade in honor of the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War will be held on the morning of May 9. It is expected to be the presence of leaders of about two dozen countries. The most senior guests will be the chairman of the PRC Xi Jinping and Brazilian President Lula da Silva.

The Kremlin at the end of April announced that the Russian military would stop fire from May 8 to 10 inclusive, and urged Ukraine to join the initiative. In Kyiv, they actually rejected it; President Vladimir Zelensky expressed the opinion that Vladimir Putin is only interested in "ensuring silence during the parade." After that, Kyiv has repeatedly stated that the parade could be “unsafe”.

Over the past few days, the Ukrainian authorities have repeatedly reminded that they were ready for an unconditional 30-day truce. The Kremlin refuses this initiative, putting forward a number of additional conditions. Does Russia still plan to cease fire from 8 to 10 on its part (the Kremlin initially claimed that this would happen in any case, even without the consent of Ukraine) is still unclear.

War through the eyes of readers "Medusa"

Dima (Oslo). We grew up on good fairy tales and stories, where good always defeats evil, and the truth always becomes a reality, no matter how monstrous there would be a lie. Our generation graduated from universities and rejoiced that the world is open and you can live, work and cooperate without knowing the boundaries. The first time after the start of [war] it seemed that "now people would come out, protest, and it would end." Then there was a faith in the world, Europe, the USA - it seemed that it could not be evil to win, after all, the power is in truth. And now, three years later ... Relatives in Russia giggled angrily: “Look, got their own? A little more, and Russia will achieve its. And Ukrainians sold with the giblets of the United States instead of being with their own. ” The belief that evil will be punished is absent. All decides loot and strength, and no matter how much I want to believe in something else-reality is. It's time to grow up. It's time to accept reality. It is time to understand that we-those who are Russian, but do not want to be part of the imperial-glorious Russia-few, and no one else will hear us. When they take away faith, this is the worst.
