Ukraine daily update 5th June 2025
5th June 2025
Starting with the once-in-a-lifetime loss report.
There is so much to draw from right now, and even the USA has sent some trial balloons, although Diaper Don, for the first time in over seventy years, is not basking in the TV cameras and explaining to everyone which way the clocks are ticking.
At least Trump hasn’t kept completely silent but has spoken with Putin and announces that Putin will retaliate – apparently, it’s now okay not to want peace?
Equal treatment zero of course, but what did we expect from the Orange Sh1tgibbon.
General Flynn says it’s the Deep State that has hijacked the USA from its legal government.
And Kellogg, whom we thought was sensible, is now ranting about WW3 and unnecessary escalation.
The line from the USA will probably be this – we are closer to a nuclear war and WW3 thanks to Ukraine’s irresponsible warfare.
Does it sound familiar, by the way, didn’t Biden and Sullivan used to play that card most of the time?
And Hegseth skips Ramstein for the first time in three years – so serious was this escalation from Ukraine apparently for the USA.
The only thing that has changed is evidently that Ukraine has chosen to come out strong knowing how the reactions will be – at least this is what I’ve been waiting for a whole war.
40 bombers, the Kerch Bridge, and it has only just begun – much anguish among the Russian team now and the first casualties have occurred.
This is how you bring down a dictatorship – you humiliate the current clan leaders and show that they are weak and incapable of protecting the country.
Then you give the opposition, whoever they are now, a sporting chance to overthrow the leadership.
A popular revolution in Russia is probably hoping for too much, but Ukraine plans to have good relations with the six oblasts along their border.
The Russians are now WhatsApp-terrorizing the USA and UK to calm down Ukraine, but they are not getting any responses – suspicion is starting to spread that the entire West is in on the act, and if there’s one thing RU is, it’s paranoid.
There are probably three bottlenecks, and if you keep an eye on them, it will be a bloodbath.
Along the entire coast from Kinburn spit down to Crimea, there are lots of bases and staff.
The Black Sea Fleet has already withdrawn, even though it ventured out during the peace negotiations to shoot Kalibr missiles at civilians in the cities they can reach.
A couple of sunken ships and they retract their claws.
The air force – probably not very difficult to deny RU air force and army aviation access now that the last F-16s have arrived.
I don’t know what the radar surveillance looks like now, but UA has shot down much of that capability and the LV screen in Crimea.
At night, start with large-scale raids along the coast down to Crimea and Crimea, while waiting for the fleet and air force and trying to combat them – sounds quite likely.
Or maybe do both.
Do you think Trump calls Zelensky and talks for an hour after each Russian missile attack?
Trump and Putin are shaken by this, very clearly.
Unfair and equal treatment is conspicuous by its absence, but Trump is quite far from his arrogant and Zelensky-hostile self right now, which is good.
As I said – how Starmer, Macron, and Merz position themselves here will be absolutely crucial.
If they stand behind Zelensky, Ukraine will win this, and if they try to calm and de-escalate, this was probably the last round of fireworks available from Ukraine’s side.
Waving a piece of paper like Chamberlain or solving a three-hundred-year-old problem?
Being a coward or standing up for international law and a sensible code of honor?
We’ll see what they come up with in my absence – Dengamle is completely thrown off guard, which Budanov usually only does when they have something big planned, otherwise he is left to run around with his black powder.
