Territorial Control

While going over the channels last night, I came across this one. Yes, it was one of those innocent posts that I am afraid a lot of people skip. But it is a critical one. So, I've included a map to give you an idea of the reach for the AFU.

Almost the entire territory of the European part of Russia has already become accessible to Ukrainian UAVs, even the Far North. The airports of Arkhangelsk Talagi and Vaskovo today for the first time introduced the “Carpet” plan

This suddenly makes a lot of sense. A few leaders have developed medical conditions that will keep them home on May 9. Going to the Victory Day parade in Moscow might not be well advised.

So a few have announced they are staying home. I cannot say I can blame them.

Then there was this post. If you were wondering, they are hardening Moscow:

The Russian Federation deployed 280 (!) air defense units for the Victory Parade on May 9.

For the sake of the operation, additional air defense systems were transferred to Moscow from the regions — in particular, from Kazan and Grozny.

The entire air defense of Moscow is built in several echelons:

• The first echelon is detection. The Don-2N radar station is used for this purpose. Mobile radars Nebo-M, Gamma-S1, and Casta are operating around Moscow. • The second is to intercept strategic threats. • Third — long-range air defense. The S-400s cover approaches with a margin of up to 400 km. • Fourth — close combat. The Pantsir-S1 and Tor-M2 systems are deployed not only in the Moscow region, but also in Moscow itself on the roofs of buildings and on mobile platforms.

This is textbook hardening of a target. Russia does not control its skies anymore. They have an Air Force; they have anti-aircraft forces. However, what are you leaving open if you move that many to Moscow?

There is more. Hitting Engels, where much of Russia’s strategic aviation is based, is no longer going to be a rarity. Ukraine has done this in the recent past.

So, is Vladimir Putin paranoid that his precious parade will be hit? No, he is not paranoid. Volodomyr Zelensky has played into it by refusing another truce and saying that he can’t guarantee safety.

There was another curious post that had me going hmm:

Putin suddenly talked about a possible successor

When asked if he was thinking about a successor, he admitted that he was looking at possible candidates and said: “I always think about it.”

“Ultimately, the choice is up to the people, the Russian people. I think there should be a person, most likely several people, so that the people have a choice,” he tried to portray himself as a democrat.

It should be noted that back in 2021, Putin reset his terms and, in theory, could remain in office until 2036.

Does Putin know something we don’t? It is rather interesting that he is even publicly voicing a successor. At least to me, this is new.

The reality is that if he loses the war (rather than when), he will not survive. It is Russian history, and he has cost Rodina a working economy, and we are getting close to 1 million losses.

Russia no longer has a working reserve either. So the Russian Army has lost a lot of offensive potential. We know what he wants. Both his propaganda outlets and even Sergei Lavrov have threatened the West.

We do not understand that Russia is in a crusade against the West. They see us as weak and effeminate. They also see us as a threat to them.

This also comes with this warning from Inform Napalm:

Amidst the FSB’s attempts to suppress the information background regarding the Kremlin’s instructions to carry out bloody terrorist attacks in remote regions of the Russian Federation on May 9, we invite our readers to conduct a small raid of pure fire and visit the comments under the videos of the parade rehearsals for May 9, which are posted on YouTube by regional media or individual bloggers.

For example, here is a video from the parade rehearsal for May 9, 2025 in Khabarovsk. In the comments, many Z-zombies are happy and proud of the imaginary power of the Russian army. It would be nice to remind them about Colonel Omurbekov and the FSB’s intentions to carry out terrorist attacks in the regions, including Khabarovsk, which is close to China. Here is a link to the video where you can leave a comment:

But do not provoke direct aggression, but throw in data for reflection. Because our goal is to inform as many people in the regions as possible that their presence at mass events on May 9 may threaten their lives and health, and if they do not want to become “an indiscriminate victim” of Putin’s operations and terrorist attacks “under a foreign flag,” then it is better to stay home and not expose themselves to attack.

Following a similar example, you yourself can find videos from parade rehearsals in the regions, which have already collected many views and comments from local residents, and leave your educational comment under these videos.

We act from a state of love for life, not for death, and the death of the civilian population, even of a country hostile to us, does not cause joy. Because we are not cannibals and we are fighting not for indiscriminate revenge, but for the sake of justice, so that punishment overtakes war criminals, and not lost sheep that obediently follow their shepherds to the slaughter. Therefore, it is in our interests, in the interests of Ukraine, to warn civilians in the regions of Russia about the threat that their own special services are preparing for them on instructions from Moscow. And even among the employees of these special services there are people who do not agree with Putin’s policy and do not support the war that Russia is waging against Ukraine, and these people choose the light — assistance to Ukraine with intelligence data in order to bring our just victory closer. And for these people, the decisive factor is that Ukraine does not seek mass deaths of civilians and conducts its operations against Russian war criminals very carefully without concomitant losses among the civilian population.

Putin and his cannibals, in turn, do not count on any losses and are ready to kill their own citizens in order to create an image for the continuation of their terrorist and aggressive war. And to stop this dance of death, we need to anticipate his intentions, warn and act by non-standard means, attracting to our side more people who are capable of resisting inside Russia with weapons in their hands or working to obtain intelligence data.

PS: Thanks to the FSB officer who provided us with an important photo today directly from his boss’s office. We will be releasing some additional information on this later.

Ukraine will win — and so will those Russians who do not want to die for Putin and because of his criminal actions.

So will the great day come with false flags in the far east? How about the Caucasus? Voronezh? It would explain some of the removal of AD systems.

We need to wait for the great show. Because things could get interesting, would Russia have the gall to use false flags? Absolutely. This is how Putin secured and consolidated his power. Ryazan sugar is very Russian after all.
