Ukraine War, 15 June 2026

Apparently intercepted yesterday from the Kremlin, it is said to be 100% true.

Something else that is also 100% true is that every UA OSINT analyst on Twitter, down to those barely read, has just said in their own ways (poorly disguised) that they have been asked to respect OPSEC until otherwise indicated.

Those of you who have been around for a while know that this means violent and burning things are underway from Ukraine’s side.

The fact that this coincides with the summer period, which is perfect for offensive operations, and that the pre-combat has been grandiose in recent months makes it difficult to arrive at any other assumption than that Ukraine plans to grill the Russian fish over an open fire this year.

If you have read Johan No.1, you knew well over a year ago that UA had a strategic offensive reserve, and you also know that we have good reason to assume that there are maneuver brigades fully equipped in the past year/years with all the new materiel that has poured in.

As usual – “Russia can never lose,” “it will end in trench warfare,” “this will be a Korean-style peace” – those lying and incompetent analysts I want to grill, the ones I’ve argued with for 4.5 years.

Since I worked with my Peruvian colleague since April 2023 and he was, for good reasons, a USA hater as they are in South America, he was also quite positive towards Russia automatically. The discussions were long, and every time Ukraine started something beautiful and violent that Europe and the USA destroyed, you had to sit there and mutter with a broadly grinning colleague across the table who said, “What did I tell you, no one can beat Russia, right,” even though the cheating was obvious.

Clement Molin has the same problem as I do. I write what I see and make my own analyses on raw data, which is rarely mainstream, and then you have at least half against you sometimes everyone. Then as soon as it becomes mainstream, everyone talks about it as news and you have to sit there alone forgotten and take another snus. I have very little patience for most and believe that those in Europe who should make decisions are limited partly by their professional roles but also generally influenced by the environment around them.

That sharp analyses that have such impact that something directly happens still do not come today, I find very hard to accept but understandable. Then there is “if you want peace, you must prepare for war” with some lead time on the second part of that phrase – foresight is smart.

When established media have managed to tie the threads together and serve a finished analysis, it is already far advanced and rarely correct anyway because the conclusion is wrong.

Those of you who have read for a long time may remember Kuwait Highway 2.0?

Here you have a good start, UA has knocked out all the bridges down to Crimea from the north, leaving only one road open farthest west.

An enterprising Russian brigade commander arranged the logistics for transport over open communication channels and it looked like this, apparently 50 vehicles in total but not all appear to be burning.

Unrelated mood film

The Azov thrust is thus already given – there is nothing RU can do on the battlefield that can change this now.

We described it already in 2022, I believe, when the USA urgently had to intervene to close the open goal back in autumn 2022.

The 2023 spring offensive should have gone better than it did but the USA, Ukrainian parliamentarians, Europe, and their own commanders at various levels leaked everything to the Russians. Then we forced Ukraine to fight in the way we thought would work and they paid for it in blood – what I think we saw there was that NATO commanders were involved a bit like Sirsky usually is and decided too much at the micro level.

They wanted inexperienced brigade commanders whom they had trained to do as they wanted – the entire command cadre from our NATO should naturally have been fired but we don’t get to have that much fun.

August 2024, you probably heard from Johan No.1 first that it would happen then as the amount of UA troops at the northern border gave it away but then Trump totally crushed that gain and gave a freebie to Putin he did not deserve.

All the time we have slowed down and delayed Ukraine when things went too well – I don’t understand how they have managed to endure this with a good face, they are simply built differently.

The difference this year is that Ukraine keeps the battle plans qualified secret – which they seem to be doing.

And then they turn a deaf ear when E3 and Trump start babbling – which I believe they do.

Then this will play out as it should have already in 2022, unfortunately my Peruvian colleague is retired and I am not in Lagos when the big win comes so there won’t be an opportunity to mock him for a week.

The single most important thing this year is the water supply for RU – a soldier needs to drink every day. If the trucks don’t get through, there will be no supply and water becomes critical first.

The Russians have always slurped from puddles but since there is so much death around them, there will be some extra diseases in those puddles this year.

The burning snake above was apparently supply for a brigade according to the Twitter kings, that tells you something about what they need in maintenance.

Already after a few weeks, transports to Crimea, the Southern front, and Dnipro dropped by 71% according to our Brovdi, as we mentioned the other day.

The pieces are starting to fall into place Senhores, this will be Ukraine’s summer and early autumn.

It is not practically possible to predict the broader outcome – Putin can at any time be wearing the wrong underwear and happen to drink a cup of tea. That he is already weakened we can assume but it is impossible to know who will come out on top.

All the generals who are blown up in their cars by accidents – it is certainly also the FSB trying to keep things clean in addition to Ukraine stealing a page from Mossad’s judiciary.

Window jumps are Putin’s right of execution, hard to see anything else.

Ukraine is preparing for a lot – subversive activities are not exclusive to Putin. Belarus, republics within Russia, Russian political opposition, and lots of other fun stuff so we have only seen the beginning.

Just like Hungary and Belarus would join the war when Kiev fell, which never happened, many different constellations in Russia are waiting for the right moment – they are as cowardly as Europe but will move when it is safe.

Brovdi – no idea about the truthfulness of that statement but one thing I know, LPR and DPR fighters have already been in contact with Budanov and will get immunity if they switch sides when the question arises. The day that happens, irreparable deep holes will appear in the Russian defense and it is game over.

Legends, absolute legends – the world’s best shooters you know if you have read Johan No.1.

More is happening, up in Lyman Azov has started cutting off the head of the snake – it’s happening somewhat quietly but it’s also a biggie.

In Kostyantynivka, UA has retreated from part of the city and units from the strategic offensive reserve arrived to ensure an organized retreat – very neat and there are always new fortified positions behind the old ones for the Russian troop commanders to bang their heads against.

Here are actually UA drone pods – you know, the ones I usually talk about but Russian. This is what they look like nowadays, the ones we in Europe still cannot shoot down.

Here you have a Ukrainian EW platform that works, unlike the Russians’.

Ukraine has sacrificed everything, they had many easy ways out but chose the hardest one which has benefited us enormously. We are simply legally, morally, and spiritually obligated to give everything back to them.

      1. The Russian bastards are truly the Antichrist.
        It’s completely unbelievable that people seriously believe the lie that they protect “Christian values.”

        1. Yes, it doesn’t seem to matter what the Russians do, the pro-Russians just dismiss it as lies and Ukrainian propaganda. One wonders if everyone is being paid by the Kremlin or if they are truly completely blind.

    “USA and Iran have agreed on a deal to end the war. This was announced by Donald Trump on Truth Social.

    The president said late on Monday night that the US blockade of the ports in the Strait of Hormuz will cease as soon as the agreement is signed on Friday. Earlier in the evening, he wrote on Truth Social that the blockade would be lifted β€œimmediately.”

    β€œLet the oil flow,” the post continues.”

    Earlier on Sunday, Trump told the Wall Street Journal that the agreement will be signed digitally, either by him or Vice President JD Vance.”

    – This does not mean that we trust the enemy, says Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi.

    Donald Trump has also confirmed that the agreement will be signed in Switzerland on Friday. He writes on Truth Social that he is lifting the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz immediately.

    The agreement on the table between the USA and Iran does not concern Israel. This is claimed by Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel’s Minister of Public Security, according to news agencies.

    β€œWe are not a party to this agreement. It does not safeguard our security,” he writes on social media.

    According to the USA and Iran, Lebanon is included in the new agreement, something Israel has opposed on several occasions.

    At the same time, the country’s Defense Minister Israel Katz says that they will not withdraw from the areas they have occupied in Lebanon.

    β€œIf Iran attacks Israel because of the situation in Lebanon, we will respond,” he says in a statement.”

    In 2026, Russian missiles struck the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra. This contrast between public statements and real actions once again highlights the gap between Russia’s rhetoric about β€œvalues” and the reality of its warfare. It is yet another example of cynicism that knows no limits and respects no sacred sites.**

  15. Someone who does not respect OPSEC is the Ukrainian General Staff: through the numbers shines a steady Ukrainian counteroffensive with stable over a hundred attacks per day. At the same time, the Russian pressure seems to be gradually ebbing. Again, nearly as many Ukrainian as Russian attacks.

      1. Do you mean editing in connection with uploading, or is it after you have posted it the first time and then want to edit the comments again?

        Does it happen that you click edit, and then nothing happens?

        If so, I suspect it is a bit of the same oddities as with the “upload image button”. After you start typing, the keyboard on the iPhone opens, causing the clickable element to shift somehow so that it cannot be clicked. 

        1. It happens when I have published the post. I can access the edit mode but nothing happens when I press the save button, except the spinning icon is shown.

    1. You have landed on problem list 205, to get back to where everything works you must praise MXT for three days then he will remove the block πŸ‘

    2. The chance that Putin will go quietly and sluggishly into the sunrise is probably close to zero.

      He does not want this to be the beginning of the end at all.

      Simple logic – nothing to do in Ukraine so escalate elsewhere.

       

  16. Yes, we have probably reached the beginning of the end.

    RU says that Trump will pressure Zelensky and Europe at the G7…

    Krasnov has received a mission

  17. Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy requested to meet his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin during the G7 meeting in France this week, Reuters reports. But according to the Ukrainian leader, Putin was not “ready” to discuss the war.

    – We have announced that we are ready to meet Putin during the G7 meeting, because Trump is there and Macron is there, that is Europe together with the USA. I think it is a very good opportunity for everyone to meet, Zelenskyy said during a press conference with reporters in Ukraine.

    The statement comes after deadly Russian attacks on Ukraine overnight, including the destruction of the historic Pechersk Lavra in Kyiv.

    Last month, Zelenskyy wrote an open letter to the Russian president, appealing for a meeting to end the war.

    “British Rolls-Royce will be the supplier for Vattenfall’s new nuclear reactors at Ringhals. The energy giant announced this at a press conference.

    1. Had a quick look, nice ✊✊

      Was it Cornucopia this far or is it both?

      Question – does this mean I don’t have to pay 70,000 SEK for a new server and my own AI, which was the only way forward last week?

      Good good good T23 – God will reward you.

      1. Good question, I thought it was just the old one, but it should be just as easy to steal the content from here.

        70,000 was if you wanted smart AI indexing for better searches and cataloging.

        Just fetching the content doesn’t require anything special (just that I feel like spending a few hours fixing it).

      2. I almost feel a bit tricked here MXT 😢

        Now I don’t know this well enough, so my questions were apparently posed in such a way that 70,000 SEK was the minimum, but if I had written “better searches and cataloging,” would it have been a few hours instead?

        Now we have to start experimenting with that link from T23, but what we want is to be able to search information from the material through questions like “on what date did Ukraine attack Slovyansk and with which brigades,” and then get the correct hits or summaries.

        When you get there, the material is usable.

        Today I have to sit an entire day just to answer a simple question I know exists somewhere in the stack of posts and comments – often you don’t find it anyway and have to give up. “Off the top of my head, it was like this” is written instead.

        After all, we have 4.5 years of daily summaries in posts and comments, which is quite a substantial historical archive.

        1. It takes a few hours to load all the material, one time with the same standard search that we have here on the site built into WordPress.

          Then it was you who wanted AI, and if it is to be active constantly and used in the search, you almost have to have a local AI. Then it gets a bit more expensive (70,000 is on the high side, half is enough for a nice machine, or a good graphics card..πŸ˜„).

          You can also use a better search engine than WordPress, which is more like Goggles. Elastic, Solr, or similar, but even there AI could be good to help set good sensible metadata for the indexing to sharpen it even more.

          You can try searching around here on the site to see a bit how it works, although even if the search might not be the best, it can of course be nice to have everything gathered.

        2. Now, Google’s free search AI may not be the best in the world, but I asked the question: “On what date did Ukraine attack Slovyansk and with which brigades according to Johan No.1 on cornucopia.se”

          Got the answer:

          “There is no information in the comment section on Cornucopia.se from the signature Johan No.1 that Ukraine would have attacked Slovyansk. The discussions have instead focused on Russian attacks and attempts to capture the city, which has been under Ukrainian control since 2014. Read more in the comments on Cornucopia.se. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]” <- one source was regeringen.se

  21. Off-Topic.

    Disgusting! So they are just going to get away with only being fired?

    “The aid organization Doctors Without Borders is dismissing 18 employees in refugee camps in eastern Chad following allegations of sexual abuse. This is reported by AP.

    The aid workers are said to have offered Sudanese refugees food, water, and milk in exchange for sex. Children are among the victims. Female Chadian employees are also said to have been threatened with dismissal if they did not have sex with their superiors.

    In an internal report, the organization states that the revealed cases are probably only a fraction of the abuses committed, as many of the victims are afraid to report.

    MSF is one of the largest employers and aid organizations in eastern Chad, according to TT.”

    1. Unfortunately, this is extremely common among organizations/groups that intend to do good.

      By far Many Examples.

      To me, it is ten times worse when someone exploits a position of trust and is supposed to be a good person than if it is the person everyone knows behaves that way, a level of evil added.

      Did you know that Swedes’ reputation in southern Europe is that we are all pedophiles πŸ˜€

  22. Above MXT I don’t know if you feel that there are no lies in the election campaign or if you are genuinely interested in the lies?

    There are many and they all crash in as best they can, right, to smear the other 7. It seems like the discussion has started again that if you don’t vote for us, we will get dictatorship in Sweden, which is interesting since all eight parties stick that label on their opponents. The definition of dictatorship is watered down today.

    One that I reacted to this morning was “500,000 unemployed, Sweden is in worse shape than four years ago”.

    To begin with, the definition of unemployed is a bit vague – I am led to believe that it is half a million who have no income at all, or how do you interpret the word unemployed?

    Then I personally think that after 2015 this is no longer a good measure of how things stand in society at large. People with a short residence time in the country who perhaps do not speak the language and do not have a sought-after profession and therefore cannot get a job can reasonably not be used as a cudgel to say the country is doing badly overall?

    If one were to present “500,000 unemployed” in a more nuanced way, it would probably look very different, I guess?

    On the other hand, inflation, price inflation, increased costs, increased self-costs, higher taxes and all that are of interest as they reduce the purchasing power of broad layers, but exactly 8 parties consider that it is the fault of all the other parties.

    If you own the problems you have not managed to address during a term – yes.

    If you own the problems you created if you were responsible for the previous term – yes, I think if they have gone down but still are problems, the current term owns them.

    Is election pork that halved SL cards until the election nice – no.

    Are empty promises where you write “promise” fair – no, that is fraud.

    Our election campaigns are dumbed down, empty promises, mudslinging, pure lies. But just as Trump faked an assassination attempt and won the election, none of this matters, the one who manages to throw their pie so it sticks on the opponent wins and forms the government.

    Then we should have representative democracy on important issues that affect society at large in terms of costs or deteriorations (which were sold as improvements), one could vote bindingly on a couple of such issues at each parliamentary election?

    One limits the power of our elected representatives. For example, their salaries it would be good if they did not get to decide themselves about.

     

    1. Absolutely interested in exposing the lies that emerge. Saw the news about the unemployed, but then together with more people also having gotten jobs, thought there had to be some lie. We see the same thing in the USA. There, unemployed are counted as those who are openly seeking work, and that contributes, among other things, to the numbers contradicting each other.

      Yes, there is plenty of election promises, the worst part is that they are rarely fulfilled, because once you have won you are still dependent on others and can blame that when it doesn’t happen.

  23. We will probably have to rely on rumors for a while now in Ukraine since everyone is doing OPSEC.

    We have to evaluate the information ourselves but we can probably manage that now.

    Ukraine has just taken Slovyansk according to “Ukraine forever 37” on Twitter 😍😍😍
