Caesar howitzers are already at the frontline.

Caesar is a new generation of self-propelled artillery. It allows to engage the enemy with high accuracy at a distance from the front line of 20 km and more. At this distance, there are enemy's artillery, reserves, and command posts. Their destruction reduces the offensive capabilities of the enemy.

These artillery systems are mounted on a wheeled chassis, making them mobile and maneuverable. The system is equipped with an automated self-positioning and targeting system. It has a fairly high rate of fire - 5 rounds per minute and high accuracy. One can employ several types of 155 mm ammunition used in NATO countries.

"Caesar" provides the survivability of a crew and comfortable working conditions. It gives the opportunity to act on the fire-maneuver-fire principle.

Our gunners quickly mastered the new self-propelled artillery system, actually in 2-3 hours.

Sincere thanks to the partners for their assistance! It serves to bring our Victory closer.

US agrees with Ukraine on restrictions on the use of weapons - Reuters

Washington held talks with Kyiv because of the danger of escalation that could be caused by strikes on territory deep inside the Russian Federation. This was reported to Reuters by the US military and diplomats. As noted, behind-the-scenes discussions are extremely delicate and therefore not advertised. At the same time, the United States does not impose clear geographical restrictions on the use of its weapons by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. At the same time, Washington is trying to "reach a common understanding of the danger of escalation." “We have concerns about the escalation, but we still do not want to place geographic restrictions or tie hands too much (for Ukrainians - ed.),” the US military said on condition of anonymity. Another interlocutor of the publication notes that Washington and Kyiv have a common "understanding" regarding the use of reliable methods of weapons provided by the West. "So far we have been on the same page in understanding these thresholds," the official said. US intelligence also warned of growing risks, especially given the discrepancy between Russian President Vladimir Putin's apparent ambition and the effectiveness of his military. The coming months could take the war on a "more unpredictable and potentially escalatory trajectory," Director of National Intelligence Avril Haynes said at a Senate hearing this month.

Rescuers are clearing the rubble and looking for people," he said. In turn, the chairman of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Council, Nikolai Lukashuk, said that the invaders fired at the Dnipro region: "In the morning - three arrivals of missiles in the Dnieper region. Now information about the victims and the extent of the destruction is being clarified. In other regions of the region, the night passed quietly."

"In the Slavyansk direction, the Russian invaders continue shelling the positions of our troops, resumed the offensive. In the Donetsk direction, the invaders are carrying out active offensive operations. They continue to fire at our units, launch missile strikes, and regroup the troops," the report says.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba spoke about the narratives spread by Russia in Davos, which Ukraine will have to counter in the coming weeks and months.

This is stated in the video recorded by Kuleba based on the results of participation and communication within the framework of the Davos Forum.

"In the next weeks and months, Russia will be very actively spinning these narratives, and I count on your support so that we can counteract these narratives together in social networks, communicating with friends, acquaintances, foreigners. I count on your support in this," the minister stressed.

According to him, we are talking primarily about 4 narratives, one of which is that "Ukraine is in vain resisting the Russian Federation, because the West will leave Ukraine to its fate anyway, so Ukraine does not need to hope for anything, you need to give up" .

"The second narrative, which Russia has now actively launched, is that Ukraine has diverted attention from solving other problems - there are many wars in the world, a lot of grief, misfortune, and the West, instead of solving all problems and treating all countries equally , focused on helping Ukraine. In this way, the Russians are trying to pit Africa, pit the Middle East, partly Asia against Ukraine, against our partners and show that we Ukrainians somehow discriminate against them," Kuleba said.

He stressed that the Ukrainian authorities will have to work very seriously with this argument, because this topic "enters the minds." At the same time, the minister added that the existence of this narrative is evidence of the effectiveness of the Ukrainian state, which was able to draw attention to this war in Russia and mobilize support from the West.

"Russia's third narrative is that the only problem why a food crisis is unfolding in the world is the sanctions that have been imposed on Russia. That is, they turn everything upside down and say: remove sanctions from Russia and Russia will immediately lift the blockade from the ports.. To this, we, Ukrainians, say that the only reason for the unfolding food crisis is Russian aggression against Ukraine, and not sanctions. But there are people in the world who trust Russia," Kuleba said.

In addition, according to the minister, he very clearly felt the narrative in various conversations, which is why Ukraine is so desperately resisting, inflicting such untold suffering on its own people and its country?

"If the war is so difficult, if everything is so difficult, then we need to sit down and negotiate. We need to negotiate with Russia, whatever the price of this agreement. This is a very painful comment, because it absolutely does not respect the sacrifice that the Ukrainian people make in this war fighting for their freedom," Kuleba continued.

He emphasized that these narratives are not the mainstream of the dominant thought, but this is what Russia is starting to spin.

Recall that Kuleba calls on the West not to ask Ukraine to give in to Putin, but to help Ukraine win the war.

US approves long-range MLRS shipment to Ukraine - NYT
The United States plans to include HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems in the next arms package for Ukraine.

The package will include mobile rocket launchers that can fire much farther than the launchers Ukraine currently uses. The Biden administration approved the shipment of long-range multiple rocket launchers to Ukraine. The New York Times writes about it. The transfer is likely to be announced next week, one official said on condition of anonymity. The package will include mobile rocket launchers that can fire much farther than the launchers currently used by Ukraine. Although officials have not provided details on exactly what types of missiles the United States will provide, the Pentagon most commonly uses the M31 GMLRS (Gueded Multiple Launch Rocket System), a satellite-guided precision weapon.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M270_Multiple_Launch_Rocket_System

The missiles reach over 40 miles (65 km), far beyond the range of any artillery currently used by Ukraine. The official said the administration is keen to make sure the United States can make a valid case that it is not giving Ukraine the opportunity to strike deep into Russia. The United States plans to include HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems, which are driven on wheeled truck chassis, in the next weapons package for Ukraine. The launchers will join the 155mm howitzers the United States began sending to Ukraine last month as Russia moved into a new phase of the war, focusing on seizing more territory in the Donbas in eastern Ukraine. Himars trucks can carry a container loaded with either six GMLRS missiles or one larger guided missile and can move quickly once fired. Recall that the Ukrainian authorities have long been asking to send the Armed Forces of Ukraine MLRS multiple launch rocket systems. On May 27, the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Andriy Yermak, once again urged not to delay the transfer of the MLRS to our country. "We regularly explain to our partners the urgency [of such a decision]," the head of the Presidential Office said. According to CNN, the administration of US President Joe Biden has prepared a new package of military assistance to Ukraine, which will include MLRS. The publication wrote that this could be reported as early as next week. And now, according to information from Reuters, Kyiv and Washington are agreeing on the conditions for the use of American weapons.

Russia prepares reservists and removes old weapons from stocks - General Staff

Covert mobilization activities continue on the territory of the Russian Federation.

On the territory of the Voronezh region of the Russian Federation, the training of reservists continues, and the Russians continue to remove obsolete weapons from storage. This was reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as of 06:00 on May 28. "On the territory of the Russian Federation, covert mobilization activities continue. The enemy continues to remove obsolete weapons and military equipment from storage centers for mobilization deployment. Training of reservists continues on the territory of the Voronezh Region," the report says. Earlier it was reported that the command of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is trying to recruit and replenish the losses of its troops at the expense of reservists. Two and a half thousand reservists are being trained at training grounds in the Voronezh, Belgorod and Rostov regions. They are planned to be sent to the territory of Ukraine to participate in the war. As UNIAN wrote, according to the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, attempts are continuing in Russia to carry out the so-called "covert mobilization" - an active campaign is being carried out, as well as sending graduates and cadets of military schools to the combat zone. Earlier, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine stated that after a new attempt by the Russians to intensify hostilities in Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin will have two solutions: freezing the conflict or open mobilization. Russians of military age have a negative attitude towards the prospect of mobilization, some had the courage to call the war in Ukraine a criminal one.

Free life or Russian camps for political criminals (Gulag): the outcome of the war in Ukraine will determine the future of Europe

The Presidential Office of Ukraine once again warned against any agreements with the Kremlin on Putin's terms.

The head of the Russian negotiating group, Vladimir Medinsky, unexpectedly announced the new goal of the "military operation": to save "our dear Ukraine" and "preserve it for the future of our Russian children." Which, translated into Russian, which, by the way, is poorly spoken in Russia, means: "we want to kill Ukrainian children, capture the cities of Ukraine and thus free up territory for our (Russian) children." This was stated by adviser to the head of the Office of the President Mikhail Podolyak.

"Sometimes some of our partners ask the question: is it worth trying to negotiate with Russia at the negotiating table? This proposal is based on the hypothesis that it is like in business conflicts: you can agree on compromises, resolve the dispute and return to your old life. I will answer bluntly: this is a catastrophic delusion arising from a misunderstanding of the nature of this war and its true motives, which leads to terrible consequences for the whole world," Podolyak said.

According to him, any agreements with Russia are not worth a penny. Is it possible to negotiate with a country that always lies cynically and propagandistically?

"Any explanations of the Russian Federation are just a play on words. In reality, Russia unleashed a classic war of conquest in the spirit of the Middle Ages: an aggressor poorly educated, but hung with cruise missiles, decided to seize a much more modern and less armed country, destroy its people, return devastation, dirt and crowds to the territory drunk homeless people, as well as to appropriate other people's property. Such is the nature of the Russian imperial state - a gopnik country: it does not create new values (cultural, scientific or technological), but stubbornly destroys others, "Podolyak assured.

According to the adviser to the head of the Presidential Office, this war is not about the borders of the state of Ukraine. This war is about the trajectory along which the world will develop.
"Yesterday's history of Europe is, of course, the history of bloody wars. Because strength, monsters and the right to strike the first treacherous blow were valued. Both world wars, by the way, also began with territorial disputes, propaganda hysteria, the desire of non-humans to kill and burn free people. After 1945, the world, saying "never again", tried to change the rules.The agenda included issues of human progress: the extension of time and quality of life, biotechnology, genetic engineering, artificial intelligence, service technologies, communication without borders, etc. Today we could talk about civilizational progress. But from the Russian medieval camp with guards, the cannibal again crawled out with eyes in which there is emptiness and hatred. And therefore we are now talking about the shelling of peaceful cities, the mass rape of women, three-year-old children who are starving in cellars, and the theft of grain. Hordes returned? Muscovy showed its true face, which madly loves Solovki camps, torture, "execution troikas" and compulsory forced deportations of entire peoples?" asks Podolyak.

He assured that Ukraine will fight with Russia until the victorious final: we have no other options.

"And if the West trembles again, once again reveals its deep fear of the Russian monstrous world, Europe, the world as a whole awaits a new bloody redistribution of borders, chaos, waves of refugees, hunger, new security rules, when human civilization is forced to pay tribute to the gopnik with nuclear "Russia will make every inhabitant of Europe poorer, provoke a severe famine in Asia and Africa and initiate new territorial conflicts. Dozens, hundreds of criminal enclaves, where hundred-dollar thieves and bandits will pull on the clothes of "prime ministers" and "ministers," Podolyak says .

Russia has proved that it is a barbarian country that threatens world security, said the adviser to the head of the Presidential Office. According to him, the barbarian can be stopped only by force and only together.

"And we must do this for the sake of our children. They are so open, pure, progressive, smiling at the world. Otherwise ... very dark times await the world," Podolyak warned.

Earlier, on May 25, former Secretary of State and National Security Adviser to the President of the United States Henry Kissinger, during a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, said that Ukraine should negotiate with Russia, even if concessions are required from it.

According to him, negotiations between the Russian Federation and Ukraine should begin in the next two months before they lead to consequences that will not be easy to overcome. Mikhail Podolyak, an adviser to the head of the presidential office in Ukraine, called Kissinger a "Davos alarmist."

President Volodymyr Zelensky responded harshly to former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger's proposal to agree to the loss of part of the territories in exchange for ending the war.

"The impression is that Mr. Kissinger's calendar is not 2022, but 1938, and he thought he was speaking to the audience not in Davos, but in what was then Munich," the President of Ukraine said.

“By the way, in the real year 1938, when the Kissinger family was escaping from Nazi Germany, he was 15 years old, and he understood everything perfectly. them," Zelensky added. He also mentioned a New York Times article advising Ukraine to make difficult compromises. “Perhaps the New York Times also wrote something similar in 1938. But now, I remind you, it’s still 2022,” the Ukrainian president added.

Russian invaders fired on "Artyomsol" in Soledar

The company stopped work last month due to the upcoming fighting.

Now in Ukraine there are problems with salt (edible salt).

Russian invaders attacked the Artyomsol enterprise in Soledar, in the Donetsk region near Bakhmut. Video of the results of the shelling was published by eyewitnesses in social networks.

As you know, the Artyomsol enterprise stopped work last month due to the approach of fighting - now it is located not far from the front in the Donbass.

This is what led to the shortage of salt and a jump in prices in Ukraine. Now a strategic Ukrainian enterprise has come under fire. The video shows the shattered buildings.

http://1plus1.video/unian-novosti/2022-god/maj-2022-obstril-artemsoli

As you know, the state enterprise "Artyomsol" is one of the largest in Europe in the industry.

Its revenue in January-September 2021 amounted to UAH 43 million of net profit, which is 5.8 times higher than the figure for the same period last year.

As a result of shelling, a warehouse was destroyed in the company, there were direct hits in the mines and the warehouse. In addition, Russian troops regularly shell the junction railway station through which the salt was exported.

the war completely stopped the work of the largest salt producer in Ukraine. Panic sets in among the population, but stores and food producers have prepared for a potential crisis. In Ukraine, they are looking for alternatives to products from Artemsol.

This was announced by the Commissioner of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine for Human Rights Lyudmila Denisova.

"Russian looting in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine continues. Following the theft of Ukrainian grain, the occupiers resorted to exporting metal products from Mariupol. To do this, they cleared a part of the city's seaport," Lyudmila Denisova said.

It is already known that the occupiers are sending the first "batch" of looted metal. A ship with 3 tons of cargo will depart from Mariupol to Rostov-on-Don.

In addition, the Russian fascists are trying to make the export of the loot more convenient for themselves. To do this, they began to restore the railway communication in Mariupol and Volnovakha.

According to Lyudmila Denisov, before the Russian occupation, up to 200,000 tons of metal and cast iron were located on the territory of the port, the cost of which is $170 million.

"By its actions, the occupier violates the IV Geneva Convention of 1949 on the protection of civilians in time of war and Article 8 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. I appeal to the UN Commission to investigate human rights violations during the Russian military invasion of Ukraine to take into account these facts of war crimes and violations of rights person of the Russian Federation in Ukraine," Denisova said.

Excerpts from a speech in which Yuval Noah Harari talked about how the war in Ukraine will change the world:
“The global order, built over generations and creating the most peaceful and prosperous era in human history, is in danger. Since 1945, there has never been a time when a country with international recognition has become the object of destruction/// due to an external invasion. Saddam Hussein tried to do this with Kuwait. But he failed.
All empires - Mongolian, Ottoman, tsarist Russia - constantly invaded countries, conquered them. It stopped. The human mentality has changed. For a long period of history, the largest item of expenditure for each king, tsar or sultan was the army: funds were spent on fortresses, armies, and navies.
But in the last decade, at the beginning of the 21st century, the average government spending on the army - we are talking not only about Europe, but also about the whole world - is an average of 6% of the budget. Governments spend much more on education, health care, social spending. All this has been made possible by the era of peace of the past few decades.
Of course, we are not talking about an absolute world. I live in the Middle East and I know that violence and conflict have not gone away. But the type of conflict that existed before 1945 is quite different.
NOW everything is in jeopardy because Putin has violated the greatest taboo of the international order of the global system. He is trying to destroy a single country, an entire nation...
Dictators and various regimes around the world are closely watching what is happening. If he succeeds, we will see more and more Putins appearing in different parts of the world. The era of peace will end, as will the era of prosperity. For countries in different parts of the world, not only in Europe, will be forced to double or even triple defense spending.
Germany and Japan have already announced doubling their defense budgets. If a country increases its defense budget, its neighbors, feeling anxious, will do the same. Instead of funding teachers, nurses, social workers, more and more of the world will be like Russia, spending money on tanks, missiles and cyber weapons.
Can Europe and the world, after the end of the war, pretend that nothing happened and return to the past? It is very unlikely that Europe and the whole world will simply return to the way it was before. I think the eyes of Europeans - if not all, then the majority - have been opened after the last tragic events of these three months ...

Europeans as nations and their leaders are in great shock. And they will not forget this shock so easily, they will not return to the “usual order” of things after the war.
One of the worst things about this war is that the war started out as a fantasy in ONE man's head. It started as Putin's war. But with each subsequent day of war, he sowed the seeds of hatred and violence in MILLIONS of minds. Now this war is becoming more and more a war of nations, a war of people...
One of the most depressing things about this war is that it seems like we should have learned this lesson by now. But it turns out they didn't learn. It's like going to school, learning lessons, taking an exam and getting high grades. And then they would come to school the next day and take the same lesson ..
If we take the economy, then the Russian economy is smaller than the Italian one. Before the war, the volume of the Russian economy was $1.5 trillion (Texas is 2 times richer than Russia, California is 3 times richer), and the size of the Italian economy was $1.9 trillion. The volume of the EU and the US economy is $15 trillion each.
If the West ends its internal culture war and remains united, it should not be afraid of Russia, China, or anyone else in the world.
Money itself is a CULTURAL idea. We've figured this out over the past few months. Accumulate hundreds of millions of dollars, prepare for war for years and see how the financial system (Russia) can just freeze. The economy is not independent, separate from culture, separate from philosophy, separate from the idea in the mind.
By changing people's minds, the economic system changes. Large companies such as McDonald's have considered investing in Russia. And now they are leaving the market. By changing the perceptions of people in Finland, the military balance on Earth is ultimately changed, deciding how many tanks or aircraft belong to NATO.
The Russians keep saying that they are threatened by NATO, that they are afraid of it. But there is no reason to fear NATO. This is just Russian propaganda. Which NATO member is thinking of invading Russia? Germany or France? That's funny. The real threat to Russia in geopolitical terms comes from the East, not the West. To the east of the Ural Mountains there are about 30–40 million people and a huge amount of territory and resources in oil, gas, and gold. This is an important territory for the interests of China, which is becoming the dominant power. China is unlikely to invade Russia, they do not need it. Russia is becoming a WEAK, isolated, Chinese puppet state. Whatever China says about the situation in Siberia, in the Russian Far East, in Central Asia, Russia will not be able to resist. With all Putin's dreams of making Russia great again, he will make it a province of the Chinese empire...

The recent successful counterattack by the Ukrainian military in the Kherson region forced the enemy troops to go on the defensive.

Analysts at the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) came to this conclusion.

The Institute suggests that such actions by Ukrainian defenders are likely aimed at disrupting Russia's plans to create strong defensive positions in the south. “While the Ukrainian counterattack does not appear to result in significant territory being recaptured in the near future, it is likely to disrupt Russian operations and potentially force Russia to move reinforcements into the Kherson region, which is largely held by non-standard units. Ukrainian counterattacks could further slow down efforts Russia to consolidate administrative control over the occupied south of Ukraine," the message reads.

 

The day before, the adviser to the chairman of the Kherson OVA Serhiy Khlan said that the Ukrainian military had launched a counteroffensive in the Berislav direction and had already advanced 9 kilometers. According to him, the invaders are being knocked out of the third line of defense, which they built earlier.

In army "Pivden" they say that as a result of counter-offensive actions in the south, the enemy suffered significant losses and took up defensive positions in unfavorable and under-equipped positions. Russian troops are trying to equip positions, build military bases and gain a foothold in the Kherson region, but they will not have time to do this.
Mikhail Podolyak, adviser to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, assures that only Russia will be exhausted and lose its offensive potential, and Ukraine will accumulate enough forces - the south of our country will definitely be liberated.

According to him, "this is not a matter of one day or a month, but not a matter of a year."
