In total, six mechanized and two tank battalions of Ukrainetwere involved.
The goal of the enemy was to break through our defenses on the most vulnerable, in his opinion, sector of the front.
The enemy did not achieve his tasks, he had no success.
Ukraine war: ‘Offensive actions’ still under way in east, Kyiv says… 6 hours ago

Russian forces destroy equipment of the Kyiv regime:
As of June 5 morning, the Russian Defense Ministry confirms active military actions in these areas:
Report by Press Centre Chief of Tsentr Group of Forces
In Krasny Liman direction, in the course of a counter-battery operation, the enemy M-777 howitzer position was uncovered. Lantset unmanned aerial vehicle of the Tsentr Group of Forces destroyed the target..
In Nevsky section and in the area of Serebryansky forestry, combat protection units uncovered the movement of the AFU 63rd and 67th mechanised brigades and the AFU 5th Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine. As a result of artillery and aviation attacks, the enemy suffered significant losses and dispersed into the forest area.
Russian Tactical and Army aviation carried out missile and bombing strikes to destroy the AFU strongholds, as well as manpower and hardware concentration areas close to eight settlements.
At the same time, the Russian Defense Ministry reported that artillery units of the Southern Group of Forces destroyed fortified positions and a firing position of Kyiv’s forces near the settlement of Spornoe, an ammunition depot of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Ray-Aleksandrovka region, an artillery gun and a vehicle in the Seversk region, an infantry fighting vehicle in the area of the settlement of Stupochki and two pickup trucks near Bogdanovka.
A few Leopard II Panzerkampfwagen are spotted in Novodonetskoye, a village that the Atlanticist forces manage to seize, about 80 km southwest of Donetsk
A TOS “Solntsepek” unit also pounded positions of Kyiv’s troops in the area of the settlement of Krasnoe.
In the Avdiyivka direction, the Tor-M2 anti-aircraft missile system shot down an US-made JDAM guided aerial bomb.
A special-purpose unit destroyed a Ukrainian reconnaissance radar station in the Druzhkovka area with a Lancet guided munition.
Destroyed equipment of Kyiv’s forces
It’s interesting to note that the Kyiv regime tries to deny the reality and pretends that nothing is happening in its official statements. It seems that they will officially announce any active actions only if they achieve at least some notable tactical successes. Apparently, this has not happened so far.
“As a result of the botched attack, in the first 24 hours Ukraine lost up to 300 service members, 16 tanks, 26 armored and 14 ordinary vehicles, the statement read. “The enemy failed to accomplish its goals,” the Russian ministry concluded. Reports claim that the June 5 clashes continued on an even larger scale. The Kyiv regime threw even more forces into the battle.
Intense fighting is ongoing in Zaporozhye region. Kyiv’s forces also tried to advance in the sectors of Novodarovka, Zolotaya Niva-Novodonetskoe, Novoselovka and “Shaitanka” River.
Dozens of units of military equipment are involved in the attack. Pro-Russian sources claim that 4 more Ukrainian battle tanks were destroyed.
Allegedly, Kyiv’s units were able to reach the vicinity of Novodonetskoe where fighting is ongoing. Russian artillery and air power strike and destroy advancing units of the Kyiv regime there.
The world’s approximately 3,000 billionaires control fossil fuel companies (or at least the largest ones). It’s reasonable to assume that virtually all of the top 100 fossil-fuel extraction companies are controlled either directly or indirectly by billionaires
Three more insurance companies including Tokio Marine have left a United Nations-backed net-zero climate alliance, leaving the group with about half the number of members it counted two months ago as insurers take fright at U.S. political pressure. …
The remaining members of the NZIA, which include Britain’s Aviva (AV.L), Italy’s Generali (GASI.MI) and France’s Credit Agricole Assurances, are set to hold more calls this week to decide whether and how the alliance can continue given so many members have quit, sources familiar with the discussions say.
The NZIA is one of several industry climate alliances that exist under the U.N-backed Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ) umbrella group. GFANZ was launched in 2021 ahead of the U.N. climate summit, COP26, in Glasgow.
Ever since the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement was reached and became signed by some governments, its lack of any enforcement provisions made clear to the world that this was just a political show by liberal governments but nothing that had any chance to achieve any of its announced goals; and, after that, only fools have continued to believe that liberal politicians were sincere about the necessity to take real action to address the problem.
By contrast, conservative politicians lie and say either that global warming is not happening, or that it’s not caused by humans if it is happening, or that nothing should or can be done about it if it is happening; and, so, for the public, there is a choice only between either liberal fraudsters or conservative fraudsters, and nothing is being even so much as PROPOSED about the problem that would have any CHANCE to succeed — such a proposal (if it even can EXIST) has either not been forthcoming, or else it has been 100% censored-out by not only politicians but also the press, and therefore isn’t even being discussed, at all.
Outlaw the purchasing of any stock or bond — any investment securities — in fossil-fuel extraction companies, such as ExxonMobil and Peabody Coal: any such company at all.

Lucio, The Good Bandit: Reflections of an Anarchist
Anarchism has historically been essentially comprised of those who sought to live a world without authority and exploitation. The forms that this desire took, and continue to take, have varied greatly ideologically, organisationally, practically. The desire though has remained constant; it is a desire that has defined an ethics, a way of being in the world.
We share a modest part of an example of such an ethics, in the life of Lucio Utubia …
Outspoken and charismatic, Lucio speaks like a true anarchist. When asked what it means to be an anarchist, Lucio refutes the misperception of the terrorist, “The anarchist is a person who is good at heart, responsible.” Yet he makes no apologies for the need to destroy the current social order, “it’s good to destroy certain things, because you build things to replace them.”
Lucio has old friends in the Southern Cone. Funds from the forgery operatives helped hundreds from revolutionary organizations exile and finance clandestine actions against the bloody dictatorships which disappeared ten thousands of activists, students and workers during the 1970’s throughout Latin America.
In Uruguay, funds from falsified Citibank travelers’ checks funded the guerilla group Tupamaros, in the US the Black Panthers and other revolutionary groups throughout Europe.
During his recent visit to South America, Lucio stayed at the worker run BAUEN Hotel in Argentina’s capital Buenos Aires. He was astounded by the accomplishments of the workers without bosses. At the BAUEN hotel, workers are putting into practice workers autogestíon or self-management.
Self-management has been a mainstay of anarchist thought since the birth of capitalism. Rather than authority – obey relationship between capitalists and workers, self-management implies that workers put into practice an egalitarian system in which people collectively decide, produce and control their own destinies for the benefit of the community.
