At last, Putin is getting a taste of his own medicine Opinion by Hamish de Bretton-Gordon • 1 June 2025 Davey cartoon of Putin statue being knocked by a Ukraine tank Sunday, June 1, may go down as one of the most significant days of this war. It may be a sign that the pendulum is at last swinging in Ukraine’s favour. The Russian Air Force has apparently just suffered a terrible blow, with up to 40 fighter jets, including long range nuclear bombers, destroyed thousands of miles from Ukraine. Who Has The Best Car Insurance Prices in 2025? Ad Who Has The Best Car Insurance Prices in 2025? Smart Lifestyle Trends call to action icon In what could be a sequential attack, the Russian rail network near the Ukraine border has been decimated by several strikes, and even Russian bases in the Arctic have been hit. This would have been considered unthinkable a few months ago, including by Putin no doubt. It is seemingly now apparent that restrictions of the use of Western weapons by Ukraine are being lifted. This brings into range anything within 500kms of Ukraine – including Moscow. The Ukrainian military has also confirmed they had developed a drone with a range of over 3,000kms. Indeed, we may have seen both these capabilities in action today, and even the great Russian propaganda and disinformation machine will struggle to portray this as anything but a disaster for Putin and the Russian forces. Where is all the air defence protecting these airfields and trains? Perhaps protecting Putin’s palaces, or given away to North Korea in return for ammunition? The timing of these attacks is significant: discontent is mounting in Russia amongst the rank and file. As Putin drives their economy and way of life into the deck, rumblings of rebellion will be even harder to stifle. This is not one way traffic and Russia also launched a massive drone attack over the weekend, almost exclusively hitting civilian targets. Putin seems to believe if you kill enough people they will acquiesce and give up, but his instincts and his tactics could soon bite him back hard, very hard. Now that much of Russia is now in range of Kyiv attacks, be it drones, missiles or the frighteningly efficient assassins of Ukraine’s secret service the SBU, how will the Kremlin respond? This bold action also lays bare the inadequacies of the UK military. Could Britain execute such ingenious and effective attacks, after 20 years of funding cuts and neglect from successive governments, such that the only way we can ensure the security of our Islands in future is through the re-introduction of tactical nuclear weapons? Putin has exploited our lack of conventional deterrence for too long, but he respects strength, and nothing shows strength in this context more than nuclear capability. The level, range and intensity of these attacks shows that after three years of repelling Russian attacks, Ukraine is now returning the compliment. As the UK Strategic Defence Review is unveiled, let us hope it reveals that we are now learning from the Ukrainian experience and developing capabilities for tomorrow’s battlefield and capabilities which will deter tyrants like Putin, rather than just kit that looks good on the parade ground. Poster Comment: Russia's losses of heavy tanks are so great they have been forced to bring older Soviet-era tanks out of mothballs. Russian industry has no capability to replace the losses.

More MSN BS. The Russians fire 9 to 10 times as many artillery shells as the Ukrainians. Russia is an industrial nation. The Clintons turned America into a post-industrial nation. Biden was paying $8,000 for old fashioned artillery shells. Russia is firing 100 plus Glide bombs a day. Their warheads are 1,100, 2.200 and 6,600 POUNDS. us aid WAS SUBSIDIZING THE URAINIAN PRESS WHICH IS PRIME SOURCE OF THIS bs. PUTIN HAS BEEN RESTRAINING HIMSELF. I WOULD HAVE FLATTEND ALL THE GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS IN DOWNTOWN KIEV LONG AGO. The Truth of 911 Shall Set You Free From The Lie

It was quoted by MSN which means they approved. Never see anything from South Front in MSN. This is MI 6 BS.
The Truth of 911 Shall Set You Free From The Lie
WW3 Alert: Lindsey Graham & Richard Blumenthal Should SCARE You….. 🚨 BREAKING: RUSSIA PLACES NUCLEAR FORCES ON HIGH ALERT 🚨[Video] Unconfirmed but mounting reports indicate Oreshnik and Russia’s strategic nuclear arsenal have been placed on high readiness following Ukrainian strikes and Russian Iskander missile retaliation. ⚠️ THIS IS NOT A DRILL ⚠️ Sources suggest: Strategic silos and mobile units are being activated. Command posts in Oreshnik—linked to Russia’s nuclear response chain—are now on elevated status. Satellite data hints at unusual military activity near known warhead transport routes. 🧨 THE NUCLEAR SHADOW RETURNS 🧨 This isn't just saber-rattling. It’s the resurrection of Cold War brinkmanship, triggered by escalating direct conflict between NATO- aligned Ukraine and the Russian Federation. 💬 Analysts warn: “This level of readiness hasn’t been seen since the Cuban Missile Crisis.” 🌍 WHAT THIS MEANS: We are entering uncharted territory. Global leaders are on edge. The line between conventional war and something far worse is paper-thin. 🔥 THE WORLD IS ON A KNIFE EDGE. History may be about to turn—and the next chapter could be written in ash. So, it appears Zelenskyy gave the go ahead to attack parked Russian nuclear capable bombers without informing @realDonaldTrump (if true that our President was not consulted nor informed, this isn’t simply a breach of protocol. It’s a geopolitical insult and a warning sign. If Ukraine is willing to conduct strikes with strategic consequences without notifying the White House, we are no longer allies with coordination issues—we are co-belligerents flying blind). Also given Senator “warmonger” Lindsey Graham’s and Senator “Da Nang Dick” Blumenthal’s recent visit, this attack could appear as though it was sanctioned. I pray the Russians have better intelligence than that. IMHO, these two don’t have the sense or common sense to pull something like this off (there will have to be denials though). FYI, Those bombers that were hit HAVE to be out in full view due to nuclear treaty obligations. Zelenskyy took advantage of that. For instance, they appear to have hidden the drones in containers and were driven on trucks near the airbase. Smart use of deception (see photos below). However, imagine any one of our big bomber bases having the exact same thing done to them. Very costly U.S. Strategic Bombers can be taken out in the same way by anyone with access to inexpensive drones, delivery trucks, explosives, and a bit of technical knowledge (not good and new tactics will now have to be developed). People, and especially world leaders, need to realize the global implications to such an operation as Ukraine just pulled off. Russia will respond. Action, reaction, counteraction. Those are the shifting tides of warfare. This wasn’t a bold action, it was brash. Ukraine’s short-term win could be the world’s long-term loss. Despite what is a complete mess right now in Europe, there are still solutions to achieving peace. They are narrowing however and time, as it often does, becomes an enemy instead of a useful friend. @PeteHegseth @DNIGabbard @JDVance @marcorubio NATO Has Officially ATTACKED RUSSIA In A Desperate Attempt To Stop Trumps Peace Plan
For your edification. ;)

Yes, the news about Russian Iskander missile strikes in Ukraine is current as of June 1, 2025. Reports from sources like Pravda and Euromaidan Press confirm strikes, including an Iskander attack on a Ukrainian training unit, killing 12 and injuring over 60. The timing matches your query. However, the video's authenticity needs further verification, though it aligns with reported events. No denials were found, suggesting the news is likely accurate.
