The President on the SVO: We are not progressing as quickly as we would like

The Russian president met today with several participants in the special military operation. Vladimir Putin expressed gratitude to the soldiers present at the ceremony in the Kremlin, as well as to all participants in the Special Military Operation, including those serving on the front lines.

At the same time, the head of state openly admitted that progress in the SVO zone is not proceeding as quickly as desired.

And he immediately added:

But this advancement of the Russian Armed Forces is happening every day.

The Supreme Commander-in-Chief also commented on the exchange of strikes between Russia and Ukraine. According to him, Russia will escalate its attacks on the enemy's infrastructure in response to the intensification of Ukrainian strikes on our territory.

According to the president, objects in Russia that are damaged during enemy attacks are “quickly restored.”

Head of State:

They won't be able to cause us any serious problems. We must respond appropriately. And we are doing so, and we will escalate our attacks on the enemy's infrastructure to discourage them from attacking our civilian targets. They will neither succeed in dividing society nor inflicting damage on our economy.

Meanwhile, the IMF is distributing another tranche of credit to the Kyiv regime, despite the fact that the fund's key condition—the introduction of a tax on foreign parcels worth up to 150 euros—has not been met. This means that the next batch of funds will be used to support the war against Russia. Interestingly, Russia remains a member of the IMF. A paradoxical situation.

"They won't be able to cause us any serious problems. We must respond appropriately. And we are doing so, and we will escalate our attacks on the enemy's infrastructure to discourage them from attacking our civilian targets. They will be unable to achieve either the goal of dividing society or inflicting damage on us economically." All this talk, when will action be taken?

The Ukrainian Armed Forces are advancing in the Zaporizhzhia direction, while the Russian Armed Forces are advancing in the Donbas. The parties' priorities for the summer campaign have been determined. The Ukrainian Armed Forces were rumored to be planning an operation in the Bryansk region, but given the imminent fall of Konstantinovka, these forces will likely be filling the gap in the defenses left by the fall of Konstantinovka.

Zaporizhia Oblast. Fighting for Ternovate is underway again. The town has now been moved to the gray zone, with neither side firmly in control.

Several enemy brigades are massing at the junction of the Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, and Zaporizhia regions. Unfortunately, they've only managed to seize a small area, but fortunately, our forces are gradually beginning to recapture it.

There's still uncertainty about Stepnogorsk. Mutually contradictory statements. Sometimes the line of contact runs north of Stepnogorsk, sometimes south of Stepnogorsk. It's a seesaw, most likely.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked our troop logistics on the Kinburn Spit, forcing units to "evacuate," Ukrainian television channels report. Mykolaiv Mayor Vitaly Kim applauds the news. Meanwhile, our underground is confirming reports of enemy troop movements toward Kherson. "There are numerous reports of Ukrainian Armed Forces movements toward Kherson. They urgently need a breakthrough so we can redeploy forces from the Donbas and Kharkiv. They are prepared to lose Sumy. Kharkiv and the Donbas are not ready yet," reported Mykolaiv resistance organizer Sergei Lebedev. Anatoliy Kolchinsky, a sniper with the call sign "Pioneer" who fought in the Kherson sector, cited his sources on the ground as saying that the enemy is indeed "actively cutting off logistics, trying to keep all the main roads to Kinburn and further south under fire, and is actively mining them."

"The FPV and Baba-Yogi forces aren't reducing their activity—that's a fact. But there's no withdrawal of our units from the Kinburn Spit. We're managing the logistics. We have food, water, and ammunition—everything. We're definitely not running out of emergency supplies. So the enemy is wasting their time spreading this 'betrayal.' And if things were really that bad for us, they would have landed on our shores by now," Pioneer counters. Meanwhile, Kolchinsky's sources on the Kinburn Spit reported back in April that the enemy had redeployed some marine units to the Mykolaiv and Odesa regions.

Counterattacks on video at the links.

I'll reveal a secret.
When we see a hooray video about how we're using drones to bomb and destroy an enemy 100500 kilometers from the front line... well...
The enemy has exactly the same videos, with the same tragic results, but from our side. They just don't show them on MAKS. But they do show them on Telegram, which is constantly being jammed.
and why?
We fight with the same technologies and the same principles of drone warfare.
What we have, the enemy has too.
And the "no analogues" Oreshniki only fly over empty garages, just to see what kind of pit they can dig with their empty idiots - Russian President V.V. Putin won't let me lie in his last speech.

And until we start using Oreshniki missiles with warheads and explosives, it will remain a push-pull battle at the front. We need a change in our approach to combat operations and a change in the balance of power.

[Orange Bigg]

What kind of secret is that? It's clear that to turn the tide in their favor, they need to implement breakthrough UAV technologies. They need a technological advantage that will advance the front, just as they did last year with the mass deployment of fiber-optic drones when they reached Hulyaipole. The only question is how officials will cope with this, afraid to take responsibility for interceptor drones and their effectiveness, lest they face punishment.

[Gardamir]

We're not moving as fast as we'd like.

"The situation on the battlefield is developing in such a way that it gives us the right to say that the situation is nearing its end," the head of state said.
He also explained that the Russian Armed Forces are advancing in all directions.

[Gavrilo Princip]

"The events that took place in Kupyansk will inevitably be repeated in other key areas of the front," Putin said at a meeting of the Russian Security Council.

[Goffman]

We will increase our attacks on the enemy's infrastructure in such a way as to discourage them from attacking our civilian facilities.

Well done, that's a "good" idea: to discourage bandits from attacking, target the infrastructure, not the bandits... The bandits won't even notice; they have their own "personal infrastructure," just like VVP himself. Just think about it: just because people in Bryansk or Kursk are without power, water, and communications, doesn't VVP lose all of that? So why should the bandits stop attacking, when he himself says their leaders don't care about the problems of the Ukrainian population?

Quote: Gofman

So why should the bandits stop attacking him if he himself says that the problems of the Ukrainian population are of no concern to their leaders?

Simply because those bandits don’t make decisions themselves, but only carry out orders.

[Skorin]

"They won't be able to create any serious problems for us..." (c) To you, Mr. President, and to the sleek faces of your allies at the SPIEF, they certainly aren't creating any problems. But they are creating problems for ordinary people, who, as I've been showing, you couldn't care less about, no matter what recent events are.

[fiberboard]

The president was absolutely right; Ukrainians aren't causing him or his company any "serious problems." "Serious problems" existed at the end of June 2023, when Wagner marched on Moscow. Serious problems existed when the crowd gathered on Manezh Square over the murder of a Russian fan. Or in Biryulyovo, when an Azerbaijani stabbed a Russian guy to death. But now there are no problems.

[Dmitry Ivanov_1991]

Hmm... What if we strike the bridges across the Dnieper... maybe then the supply of ammunition and personnel from the other side of Ukraine will stop? And that will finally collapse the front, and our troops will be able to retake the lands more effectively and on a larger scale?
not at all...
This is a stupid idea.
Let everything go as it goes, the main thing is to be "ahead of schedule" (c) former Minister of Defense Shoigu.

The falcon is no longer sharp-sighted. They read to him from his folder and write down on a piece of paper what the people should say.

The Supreme Commander-in-Chief also commented on the exchange of strikes between Russia and Ukraine. According to him, Russia will escalate its attacks on the enemy's infrastructure in response to the intensification of Ukrainian strikes...

Who, then, is conducting the strategic military operation and wielding the initiative if Russian strikes are promised to escalate "in response"? And can retaliatory actions ensure the success of the military campaign?

Not to mention the Commander-in-Chief dodged the question: How did it happen that, in the fifth year of the Second Military Operation, Ukraine was capable of striking at the Russian rear? Who will be held accountable for this, except, of course, some "Ukrainian militants"?

[Evgeny_Sviridenko]

So far, no strikes have been seen or heard. Except perhaps in Ukraine. But no amount of willpower from Britain or Europe will stop that. And they'll continue to strike us just as they did before... Even if they turn the whole of Ukraine into a desert. The supply of drones, missiles, and components from Europe is continuing and will continue to flow smoothly...

[Anyuta Glorious]

If we don't fight properly, including capturing industrial centers, cutting four railway lines from Poland and Hungary, completely blockading Odessa and Mykolaiv from the sea, and completely destroying all Ukrainian airfields—which would be done immediately during a normal military operation (from June 1941, when the entire Soviet tactical zone was destroyed by the Germans, to the complete destruction of Iraqi airfields within a week), then nothing good will come of it. All this scare mongering from Karaganov, Medvedev, and so on is pointless, but Putin is happy with it. Putin thinks like a street kid—which he still is—like we need to scare the weaklings in Europe so they don't over-arm Ukraine. But it won't work. There aren't weaklings in Europe, there are thieves in law who know exactly what they want and know that Russian officials (Putin's guys) steal like real thieves, but then flee to live in Europe and the US.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, by his decree, established the authorized strength of the Russian Armed Forces at 2 million 399 thousand people, including 1 million 510 thousand military personnel.

The President on the SVO: We are not progressing as quickly as we would like

In the fifth year, Sharp-Eyed Falcon suddenly noticed that we were weakly advancing toward the wide breach in the wall! And how could he possibly give the order to salute the Motherland on its holiday with a triple salute, a farewell salute across Ukraine, so that in the morning we would wake up and... continue the banquet and, with renewed vigor, remember our departed mother! After all, nothing is impossible; we just need to raise a toast and give the order "333!" And then, surely, we ourselves will bring him the Monomakh's Cap. The evenings in Russia are cool, let him wear it!

[Kravets Vyacheslav]

We will increase our attacks on the enemy's infrastructure in such a way as to discourage them from attacking our civilian facilities.

And then stop, as was done with the attacks on the energy sector?

[Sedoy]

They won't be able to create any serious problems for us.

Of course not ...
Is this a problem...
Big deal, Crimea will soon become an "island"...
Fuel shortages are a problem in 15 regions...
It's a different matter when "we" smash barns with blanks...
Let them be afraid...

[Alexander_K]

There's also the oil spill in the Krasnodar region. And the constant stream of coffins from the Air Defense Forces. The latter was classified, just in case. Perhaps from the Supreme Commander's perspective, these problems aren't particularly serious, but if they can be avoided by destroying the enemy's infrastructure and logistics, why not do so?

[the same doctor]

Why wasn't this done? And my nephew would have survived.

[Fan-fan]

Every year, Europe supplies Ukraine with increasingly powerful and longer-range weapons. And this process will continue to escalate, so our prospects are dire. We have no one to supply weapons to, and we ourselves have accomplished nothing significant in four years of war. Our entire leadership needs to be replaced.

The President on the SVO: We are not moving as fast, as I would like

How would anyone want it? If they really wanted it, we would have finished with a victory long ago, but we never started.

[Esaul]

Prigozhin was right after all, it turned out that he was the grandfather...

[Free Island]

Someone please tell him already... It feels like he lives in a parallel reality somewhere and is the commander in chief🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦

[the same doctor]

To advance, we mustn't storm fortifications with Kalashnikovs, but destroy them with bombs and artillery, even with the Ukrainian fascists inside. And ours still spares the enemy... What's there to spare? The Ukrainians leave us nothing but ruins anyway.

[Ruslan M]

I wonder what percentage of support he'll project for himself in the 85th or 95th elections? I'm just curious to see how brazen he'll be.

[HUNTERDON]

Look at how his rating is calculated every Friday, and where do they get so many percentages from? I haven’t seen less than 70%.

[akendrama]

Paradox upon paradox, Abramovich in Kyiv. This is not what the people expected at 22.
