Good morning Resisters. Blue skies here. But we are soaked. I heard we have received 3 times our average May rainfall and the month isn't over.

Goodnight Resisters everywhere

Artur Yakubov, the imam of a Kharkiv mosque, died defending Ukraine at just 34 years old.

After the start of the full-scale war, he witnessed the Russian invasion and the first battles in Kharkiv region with his own eyes. Artur took his family abroad and returned to Ukraine. His house, which was located in a village on the outskirts of Kharkiv, was destroyed by the Russian invaders.

Artur Yakubov also taught at the Birlik School Crimean Tatar Lyceum in the village of Chaika, Kyiv region. He volunteered in the frontline regions.

Eternal memory and eternal glory to Ukrainian Hero!

Frontelligence Insight conducted an initial Battle Damage Assessment of strikes on Belbek Airfield in Crimea on May 15th and 16th. This analysis is based on mid-resolution images taken on May 16th

Three large scorch marks are visible in the central part of the airfield: two on the military jet apron and one in the fuel depot area. The exact diameter of these marks cannot be determined due to low resolution, but they appear to be approximately over 30m in size.

The imagery from July 2023 confirms that the apron was used to host military jets.

*Due to the resolution limitations, we cannot determine whether any aircraft were hit or destroyed, nor can we assess the level of damage, but we can conclude that missiles did reach the apron.*

The third scorch mark is visible within the fuel depot area. This likely explains the large, bright fire observed in videos taken by local residents, indicating the complete destruction of the depot. The extent of damage to nearby buildings cannot be determined at this stage

The characteristics and size of the scorch marks confirm that at least three missiles hit their targets. Damage from submunitions may not be visible at this resolution, and the actual damage could be more severe than what is visible in these images. High-res imagery is required.

Visible or invisible, it is always under the pixel of a defender and under the uniform of a rescuer, under a doctor's coat, a power engineer's jacket, it is on a volunteer, a teacher, on everyone who holds the line.

Our children have known her since they were little. It is a symbol of unity of all generations of Ukrainians through the centuries.

Its pattern is so unique because it is embroidered by our own deeds on a cloth woven with our values.

Over the years of resistance to aggression, it has become an informal uniform for all those who defend humanity, freedom and the right to identity.

Happy Vyshyvanka Day, Ukraine, Ukrainians and friends of Ukraine! 🇺🇦

How the Russians treat their wounded - badly

This is why they are equipping them with heat seeking missiles now.

Putin is preparing physical attacks on Western countries, according to the head of Britain's Center for Government Communication, Anna Kist-Butler, in comments to The Telegraph.

Since being appointed to head Britain's radio intelligence service last May, Kist-Butler has insisted that there is a real threat from the Kremlin.

Kist-Butler insisted that Moscow was "nurturing and inspiring" cybercriminal groups and "in some cases appears to be coordinating physical attacks against the West". She noted that the Russians now want to go beyond cyber attacks.

Hey Rudy, give me a cup of dark roast.
