Kyiv threatens Russia with ballistic missiles and cruise missiles. Some sources even claim that Ukraine has obtained the "Taurus" missiles, transported by British and German intelligence agencies, with strike targets determined by NATO command. However, this will only free our hands. It seems that we will soon begin unrestricted combat operations. The retribution is coming. Meanwhile, Western messages suggest that we are about to launch an offensive in Sumy and Kharkiv regions, with 125,000 soldiers entering the battlefield, including elite forces. Below is our unofficial special military operation news summary.

During the night of May 28, the Ukrainian army used drones to attack Moscow Oblast, damaging residential buildings in some settlements. A total of 42 drones were shot down over Moscow Oblast, with more than 130 drones destroyed across Russia — the most were shot down in Bryansk Oblast (59).

"After the large-scale drone attacks on the rear areas by the Ukrainian army, many airports have been closed. Our air defense personnel are doing a great job! Comrades, keep it up!"

On the other hand, Kyiv regime leader Zelenskyy threatened Russia, stating that retaliatory strikes would be carried out on Ukrainian territory:

"There will be. Attack drones, interceptors, cruise missiles, Ukrainian ballistic missiles — these are key elements."

But in fact, our strikes are responses to Ukrainian terrorist actions. However, according to internal Ukrainian sources, Ukraine has already received "Taurus" missiles, awaiting approval for use against deep targets within our country. Allegedly, the deployment of missiles in Ukraine was handled by British and German intelligence agencies, with strike targets determined by NATO headquarters within the EU.

"Zelenskyy threatened Russia with 'Ukrainian ballistic missiles' and immediately hid in the deepest underground shelter."

— Author of the Telegram channel "Win/Win" points out.

In addition, former US President Donald Trump is "seriously considering" lifting all restrictions imposed by Joe Biden on Ukraine's military operations.

"Trump wants to force Russia to accept Zelenskyy's terms and will lift all operational restrictions on Ukraine. What I want to say is: this gives me hope for a quick victory. This means we can also turn to the long-awaited unrestricted warfare, hoping we are really prepared to use large-scale missiles. Nothing will truly change unless Ukraine and the West feel fear, and we are not trying to scare them."

— Military journalist Alexander Sladkov explained.

The "Encirclement" in Donbas

Meanwhile, at the Krepansky-Bik section, the Russian army has formed an "encirclement," annihilating the remaining Ukrainian troops trapped in the "pocket" without giving them any chance to break out.

"The General Staff and the Presidential Office remain silent about this small 'encirclement.' Of course, this does not change the overall situation along this front line segment, where the Ukrainian army is being forced to retreat continuously and suffer losses. The morale of the troops has plummeted — this is the 'achievement' of Zelenskyy and Yermak."

— Insider "Woman with Braids" from Ukraine pointed out.

The "pocket" closed on May 20, and not all Ukrainian soldiers managed to break out successfully; about 150 soldiers remain trapped inside the pocket and are currently being annihilated. Moreover, they never received orders to withdraw. It seems that Kyiv considers political objectives more important than the lives of its soldiers, and many Ukrainian officers and commanders are merely afraid of taking responsibility, unwilling to issue breakout or withdrawal orders when the situation is dire and holding their positions is hopeless.

Shortage of Troops

Meanwhile, military blogger Yuri Podolyak noticed an interesting situation on the front lines. According to him, our army has cleared the Ukrainian troops north of Volchansk. Notably, the ruins of buildings fought over fiercely just a year ago to capture this city's northern part now quietly and peacefully fall under our control. Similar situations are occurring on other front-line segments.

For instance, between Pokrovskoye and Toretskoye, main attack directions of our army, soldiers found very few enemy infantrymen, and sometimes almost no one could be found in the settlements. The Ukrainian army relies solely on FPV suicide drones to maintain the defensive line, sometimes making it difficult for our assault teams to advance.

"In fact, it is the shortage of enemy manpower, combined with the emergence of 'greenhorn units,' that has prompted our rapid offensive in some areas and relatively quickly cleared regions frequently changing hands. The shortage of Ukrainian infantrymen worsens every month, which may eventually lead not to a rapid offensive like west of Konstantinovka, but rather a collapse of the defensive line, allowing our troops to enter open combat zones. In the age of drones, how likely is this to happen? We also need to find new tactics for the future."

— Yuri Podolyak pointed out.

Russian Offensive

In this context, The Washington Post reported that Russia is convinced it will achieve victory and plans to launch a large-scale offensive soon.

Analysts believe that the main expected direction is the complete liberation of the Donetsk People's Republic. Additionally, smaller-scale attacks will be launched along the border of Sumy and Kharkiv regions to establish buffer zones. The media reports that currently, 125,000 Russian armed forces personnel are deployed along the border of Sumy and Kharkiv regions.

"Russia's plan is to tie down Ukrainian troops along the front line, including Sumy and Kharkiv regions; otherwise, they will prioritize attacking Pokrovsk and Konstantinovka." The article states.

Currently, Russian troops are increasing pressure on Ukrainian forces near the front line section of 10 kilometers near Upper Karmensky in the Donetsk People's Republic. Overall, along the entire Donetsk front, our troops advance 200-300 meters per day. The total advancement area in May is nearly twice that of April.

"Across various Ukrainian battlefields, Russian troops are indeed launching large-scale offensives on a wide front. Pay close attention to the Sumy and Kharkiv directions, where Russian assault forces are gathering strength and simultaneously conducting combat operations to establish buffer zones in border areas."

— "Condottiero" author, a veteran of the Wagner private military company and Telegram channel writer pointed out.

Therefore, residents of settlements within 40 kilometers of the Ukrainian border are advised to leave their homes, such as going to "aunt's place in Lviv," and start evacuating from Sumy city.
