    AFU: “In total, 174 combat clashes were recorded during the past day.
    Yesterday, the enemy launched a mass missile strike with 22 rockets and 65 air strikes, including dropping 100 controlled bombs. In addition, carried out 6153 shelling, of which 133 are from jet systems of salpovogo fire, and engaged 3391 kamikaze drones for impact.”

    “Clouds of smoke rise above Kyiv after Russia’s night drone and missile attack, one of the largest ever on Ukraine’s capital. 7 city districts suffered damage, 4 people in the hospital. Former UK visa center got scorched, too.”

    SVT has had technical problems broadcasting from its local editorial offices on the linear channel SVT1 during the morning, writes GP. An error message was displayed on the screen.
    This is the third day in a row that SVT has experienced technical problems. Yesterday, the public service channel stated that on Sunday and Monday they were subjected to a DDoS attack that was said to be “the largest SVT has experienced,” according to Adde Granberg, CTO at SVT.

      Svt had a statement yesterday that some malicious power might want to harm them but they didn’t know who and didn’t want to point fingers at anyone.

      Maybe difficult to point out the dog that has given birth to half of their editorial staff.

          Should perhaps add that they mumbled something about maybe it was some country that wanted to invade us and then they looked west just like dad has taught them.

    Off Topic: Demonstrations in the USA

    “Several demonstrations similar to the one in Los Angeles have sprung up around the USA, reports CNN.
    The background to them is the same: Dissatisfaction with the many arrests and raids by the immigration police ICE.
    In San Francisco, further up the coast of California, 150 people were arrested yesterday in protests. And also in Santa Ana, south of Los Angeles, people demonstrated.
    In New York City, “several people” were arrested in demonstrations against ICE and a federal building was blocked.”

    “The former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Democrat Nancy Pelosi, lashes out at President Donald Trump after he responded “I would have done it” to the question of whether California Governor Gavin Newsom should be arrested.
    In a post on X, she writes that it is typical of an authoritarian regime.
    “The Trump administration’s escalation and provocation in California increase tensions and encourage violence.”

    “1,700 members of the National Guard in the USA are now in place in Los Angeles to quell the fourth day of demonstrations in the city, reports CNN.

    At the same time, Donald Trump has approved the deployment of an additional 2,000 soldiers from the Guard. A total of 4,100 soldiers are covered by the president’s federal order, reports AP. While waiting for them to arrive, Trump sent 700 Marines to the city yesterday to hold back the protesters.”

    “California Governor Gavin Newsom is moving forward with his plans to sue the Trump administration following yesterday’s decision to deploy Marines in Los Angeles. He writes this on X.
    Newsom writes that the Marines are not a “political pawn” and that the Department of Defense is illegally deploying them so that “Trump can have something to talk about during his parade.”
    “This is an obvious abuse of power. We will sue to stop this. The courts and Congress must act,” he continues.”

    “A former lieutenant general from the US National Guard, Russel Honoré, criticizes Donald Trump for deploying forces against the demonstrations in Los Angeles, reports BBC.
    Honoré believes that the National Guard “was not necessary” and that it is an escalation from the White House to be able to deploy federal troops “anytime, anywhere in the USA.”
    “There are 10 million people in Los Angeles. And we are talking about two small areas with maybe a couple of thousand demonstrators in each. There are larger gatherings when the Dodgers (LA’s baseball team, ed. note) win the World Series,” he tells the BBC.”

      Difficult not to suspect Russian incitement of the left-wing activists in Los Angeles when a Russian TV news anchor happily comments on this directly into the camera.

      1. MatsExtrude

        Russian media has been talking about civil war in the USA for a long time so regardless of whether they are behind it or not, they are clearly pleased with the situation.

        I doubt that the Russians are behind it from the beginning just as it wouldn’t be left-wing activists.

        There are many Americans who are dissatisfied and it’s not so strange when people are deported and some are seemingly randomly arrested without evidence, supported by an old law that wasn’t intended to be used as it is now. An illegal immigrant is not necessarily a threat to the USA but no evidence is presented to support that they are.

        Then there are certainly a number of Russian agents, among others, taking the opportunity to hang on and escalate the situation. Some pro-Palestinians have also joined in. Wouldn’t surprise me if we soon see some BLM activists too. Some of those belonging to different movements seem to be drawn like flies to unrest. 

        Just like football hooligans where the fights are what attract and not the football itself.

        1. MacMelmac

          Then I am a Russian influence operation!

          I have said several times since Trump’s last term that the USA will never be great again, it will become a low-intensity civil war (maybe not a pure military conflict but like this in LA) and that before 2050 states will have had enough and started organizing to leave the union.

          1. MatsExtrude

            😄 Sometimes the Russians can be right, the difference is that they enjoy the misery.

            Then they may help to accelerate it through Russian agents spreading propaganda and maybe even practically by participating in the demonstrations and stirring up the mood.

        2. Lasse W

          It is quite clear that the external border of the USA is a federal matter. The National Guard has the right to act in California. But the polarization is monumental around the issue of immigration to the USA. Yes, it is a national crisis. And a crisis also in the Western world at large.

          1. Umlaut

            The National Guard has the right to act in California, but then under the command of the governor and (normally) not the president’s. The USA is a federal state, where the National Guards are the responsibility of each state (usually). What we are seeing now is a bit like if the EU used some obscure old war law to take command of the Swedish defense, over the government’s head and will, and deploy the Home Guard against a group of protesters in Stockholm.

          2. MatsExtrude

            One cannot just call something a crisis and therefore set aside laws and regulations and behave however they want?

            What do you mean they are in crisis really?
            Now illegal immigrants are being used as cheap labor and the reason why borders are not actually being closed and everyone deported is because even Trump realizes that it wouldn’t work, but they would like to make it look like they are doing something and that’s why they go around randomly picking up people.

            It would have been a different story if the USA had been hit by a huge wave of terrorist attacks but I can’t see that they have? 

            Deporting illegal immigrants is one thing but putting them in prison without a legal trial, you surely can’t think that’s OK?

            What will be the next crisis and the next group of people affected?
            The Democrats are opposing Trump, that must be seen as hostile activity since Trump is working for the best interests of the USA, throw them in jail! 

            1. CB500four

              The main reason Trump called in the National Guard is probably because California is a Democratic state and he has clashed with the governor. I’m sure you can find the Proud Boys somewhere among the protesters. He has already tried to impeach the governor, but the prosecutor has not wanted to do it yet, because he knows it’s wrong.

              Trump is trying to turn this into a Capitol Hill fire for California, so he can take control. He believes the National Guard is his private army, just like Putin uses his Rosgvardia.

    No new information but a part of what was already announced in March.

    “The government is providing five billion kronor to strengthen Ukraine’s defense capabilities. That’s according to Minister of Defense Pål Jonson (M) to SVT News.

    The amount is part of the latest support package that the government announced in March. In total, the package is worth 16 billion. The first five billion will go towards the production of defense equipment, air defense systems, and long-range drones. The government also aims to strengthen Ukraine’s domestic defense industry.”

        School students without independent thinking who sit and gather things that generate clicks.
        A very high percentage of errors in their articles, far from everything is their own fault, but flaws in the sources. Journalists copy each other without source criticism to not miss the news flow. Fast but not always right is the tune of the times.

  11. Wiiking

    It’s getting closer and closer to the fascists’ cliff, their hope lies with Trump and the USA… which may delay the tipping point but it’s heading in that direction anyway, albeit slowly.

    It would have been interesting to see Gripen in action in the war, it feels like the Swedish weapon systems we have donated have delivered a bang.

  12. MatsExtrude

    Russian presence in Africa is growing – heavy weapons are flowing in
    In the shadow of the war in Ukraine, Russia continues to strengthen its military presence in Africa, writes AP. The news agency can, with the help of, among other things, satellite images, show how Russian ships departing from ports in the Baltic Sea deliver large quantities of heavy weapons and combat vehicles to, for example, Mali.
    https://omni.se/ryssland-okar-narvaron-i-afrika-tunga-vapen-flodar-in/a/xm0KMG

    1. MacMelmac

      Can anyone explain how RU can be on the verge of collapse (that’s what they’ve been saying for almost three years now) but at the same time increase their production of Iskander missiles, increase military presence towards the Baltics/Finland AND send large amounts of weapons to, among others, Mali? More things indicating that RU is not at all on the verge of collapse?

      I am starting to suspect that we in the West are just as misinformed as Putin was about UA. RU has more capacity than we think (and wish) and above all, they have more like-minded (propaganda-filled) people who act as puppets and do as they are told.

      1. MatsExtrude

        Actually considering writing my own post on that topic as soon as I have time.
        Would need to dig up current figures etc.

        I think like you, we underestimate Russia’s capacity.
        We look at their GDP and think it’s only a fraction of Europe’s, they surely can’t keep up.

        Admittedly, their economy is not doing well, but they still sell enormous amounts of oil and gas to China and India, and they still have a lot of reserves in the form of gold and funds.

        Then the big problem is that they allocate ~45% of their GDP to the military.
        Moreover, I suspect there is some bartering with, for example, North Korea, which hides some of the expenses under other budget items. The Russian people just keep quiet so Putin can do as he pleases.

        In Europe + USA, we are somewhere between 2-3% of GDP even though we are now aiming for 5.
        That means we roughly spend the same amount in total.
        Now the USA has significantly reduced its deliveries and wants payment.

        But we have better quality, so it should work out anyway, right?

        First and foremost, manufacturing in Russia and North Korea is considerably cheaper.
        Russia’s average income is about a third of what we have in Sweden, and they have most of the raw materials themselves. For the same money, they can probably produce at 30-50% of the cost. They probably have to pay dearly for some of the manufacturing equipment due to sanctions, but those are more like one-time costs. They probably get electronics from China.

        Looking at the money we spend on defense, how much do we actually send to Ukraine?
        In Sweden, we probably send about 20-25% of our budget, but then we are among the highest contributors and we are a small country.

        I guess that on average in Europe, maybe 5-10% goes to Ukraine.
        Russia can put everything into the war in Ukraine.

        Many countries are currently ramping up their own defense, so a large part of what is produced doesn’t even go to Ukraine, which also means we can’t maintain deliveries of grenades etc. at a high enough pace because we want them for ourselves.

        Now Ukraine is producing more and more of its own, which is good because the costs are more in line with Russia’s.
        At the same time, industries risk being shut down, facing problems with electricity supply, etc.

        Of course, Ukraine allocates a large part of its GDP to the war, but Ukraine already had a lower GDP per capita than Russia before the war, many have left the country, and they have significant costs just to repair infrastructure, etc. They cannot compete with Russia, which also has the support of North Korea, Iran, China where manufacturing and purchases are cheap.

        Russia still has a lot of its huge stocks of old equipment.
        Ukraine didn’t even have a fraction when the war started.

        Europe has spent many years disarming, so what we had from the beginning hasn’t been particularly impressive either. Now we are going to rearm and at the same time help Ukraine at significantly higher costs than what Russia has.

        Unfortunately, it’s in Russia’s favor as long as we don’t decide to dare to send much more of what we actually have.

        Europe must realize that the best way to increase security is to help Ukraine defeat Russia even if it means depleting most of our resources.

      2. Umlaut

        Military-wise, they are probably not on the verge of collapse, they rely on quantity and brute force. However, the civilian society is likely on the verge of collapse, infrastructure, education, healthcare, everything that is not directly linked to the military will collapse. Just look at North Korea, they manage to threaten the world, despite sanctions and a starving population. If we want to, we can overpower them (both North Korea and Russia). But we (our politicians) don’t think that price is worth paying (yet). Moscovia delenda est.

        1. CB500four

          Europe/NATO has not yet had its “Pearl Harbor” moment. Unfortunately, it seems likely that it will come at some point, Russia cannot stop warring with the current regime, and the people are so oppressed that they probably will not revolt.

          The regime must be broken apart from the outside, as it happened in Iraq. It didn’t turn out so well, but that was mostly because the military forces were dissolved.

    1. Wiiking

      Feels like these subjects need to be included in the school curriculum, propaganda, source criticism, influence operations, alternative facts, etc., and that some states can run marathons in their operations, nothing in or out clearly but 10-20 years of grinding and clouding facts and replacing them with propaganda.

    1. MatsExtrude

      There are rumors about it, and that it is happening with the help of SAAB 340 AEW&C, hoping it is true because then Ukraine can finally put an end to the Russians’ KAB.

        1. MatsExtrude

          We will see in the coming weeks whether more planes will fall, or if the reports show that fewer KAB are being shot down.

          Actually, there were only 100 yesterday, which is lower than the recent average of ~120. 
          KAB has actually been steadily decreasing since the beginning of June.

          On the other hand, there are ups and downs, and there was a low point even in mid-May.

          A little too early to draw any conclusions, but we keep our fingers crossed!

  17. MacMelmac

    Watched the movie with the journalist who got hit by a rubber bullet.
    Doesn’t look like it’s intentional, maybe it bounced and landed wrong.
    Maybe one shouldn’t stand between the demonstrators and those with rubber bullets!

  20. MatsExtrude

    Yes, that was a pretty poor excuse for not wanting to apply more sanctions.

    “Western partners list the reasons why they did not dare to impose new sanctions on Russia. Among the reasons that Ukraine has not been mobilizing since the age of 18+,” — Zelensky”

    1. CB500four

      It was just so stupid, imposing sanctions to save lives. You don’t sacrifice lives to impose sanctions.

      What’s wrong with politicians in the West nowadays, they completely lack common sense, courage, and backbone.

    A lot of IT problems nowadays.
    Guessing we would have avoided most of them if Ukraine had received the help they needed to completely crush Russia.

    Many countries are probably afraid of escalating, for example by sending soldiers to Ukraine, because that would mean getting into direct war with Russia.
    Time to realize that we are already AT war with Russia.

    ⚡️ Germany’s Chancellor Merz says Russia only understands force—so the West must show it.

    After deadly Russian strikes on civilians, he urges tougher EU and US sanctions, more weapons for Ukraine, and warns: no peace talks without pressure.

    https://bsky.app/profile/united24media.com/post/3lrbcy6bkbu2w

    Merz seems to be the shining star in the European sky. Let’s hope for some action now that Emperor Macron has been revealed as naked.

     

    1. CB500four

      One can only hope that something will come of it, but the German tends to stand by his word, for better or for worse.

      He seems to understand how the Russian is.

      There has been very quiet from the Macaroni lately.
