Crimean Bridge – the queue on the Kerch side is growing[/quote[quote]SIMFEROPOL, June 5 - RIA Novosti Crimea. More than 800 vehicles are queued on the [West bound] Crimean Bridge on the peninsula side, according to a news channel reporting the situation at the MAKS platform crossing. The transport crossing is a strategic facility, and its security is of paramount importance. The Russian FSB Border Service, together with the Black Sea Fleet and the Russian National Guard, are implementing a range of measures to protect the Crimean Bridge.
Effective January 20, 2026, restrictions came into effect: all trucks with a gross vehicle weight over 1.5 tons, both loaded and empty, are prohibited from using the highway.
So the Ukrainians don't have to close the Kerch Bridge again, the Russians are doing it for them.

trying to pressure the psychopath in the Kremlin might end up getting Kyiv nuked.
Putin isn't going to nuke Kyiv for a multitude of reasons, starting with the fact that it won't help him achieve his goals, so Z is actually negotiating from a position of strength there.
But we need to understand that the only language Putin understands is power. Z and Kyiv know that they have to hit back, that inflicting pain on Russia and Putin is the only way to stop them, and that they have to at least give the illusion, publically, that they are attempting to negotiate with a group that has no interest in negotiating.
So, yeah, while I don't believe that this statement will actually lead to a damned thing Z and his cabinet know they have to make public statements like this and that the Russians can't and won't do anything in addition to what they are already doing to the Ukrainians.

The 1st Corps of Ukraine's National Guard Azov has stated that it has taken control of all Russian logistics routes near occupied Donetsk and will now destroy any targets moving along those routes.
Ukraine’s strategy these last 9 months or so has been a methodical dismantling of Russian operations behind the lines.
When it started I have to admit that I missed the long game. My concern was that Russia had a clear advantage in the trenches of the front line. I figured that the best use of limited drones and missiles was to strike the Russian troop positions. (That’s why I am not developing strategy for our military.)
Meanwhile, Ukraine was striking economic and military facilities hundreds of miles away from the front, seeming to launch in a different direction each night so that there was no obvious pattern of where the next drone would fly, while improving drone tech based upon battlefield research. The cumulative effect is that Russia may actually be on the ropes. It has been impressive.
Some of us saw the benefit, and had to put up with the "I'm not pro-Russia, just anti-Ukraine" people saying "why is Ukraine wasting effort hitting a gas station in Russia when they should be hitting Russian troops? They will lose!!!!" and calling us idiots when we tried to explain the rationale. Those posters seem to have stopped posting that much...

Russia is having a hard time supplying Crimea by the bridge and by sea. That leaves air supply and drones are serious threat to that too.

Holy shite. This video...Straight out of Godfather 2. Except this is real.
Ok... This is the first public appearance Putin has made in over 200 days and he makes the statement, "Moscow intends to “finish off” what he called the “denazification” of Ukraine, including through the negotiation process."
A bit to unpack here. That's not a mis-translation nor an error in logic. When he says they will continue de-nazifying Ukraine during negotiations, he is addressing the two splits currently in the Kremlin. One camp wants to continue the war and the other camp wants to enter negotiations.
Now here's where it gets interesting. In this video, Putin is not the focus. It's clearly the guy with the face built out of scar tissue. We can be sure the Russian camera feed highlighted this scary member of the audience for a reason. They were prepared for his attendance and know who he is and where he comes from. With that mug he's hard to miss and he may be as rare a public sighting as Putin.
My guess is that Scar Face is a well known security thug. Someone that has no reason to be in an economic forum speech except to send a message. The message is directed at Putin and is a clear threat: "This is what you get for going soft on us."
And just in case Putin somehow blinks, they have provided the world with this video. They're hoping for a Frank Pentangeli moment from Putin but are clearly prepared to go Plan B. That's what Scar Face is there for.
Incredible.

Well, we have our answer on the source of the satellite guidance for the hit on the patrol ship in the St. Petersburg dry dock this week. In that case it was more than just imagery. And yes, I'm pleasantly surprised that it is a US company. As always, let's keep an eye on this.

Yeah, this one is interesting. Especially with the problems of supplying Crimea by road from the northern route. Apparently the restriction is still in place in spite of the desperate need for supplies in Crimea. Russians are not cautious. There has to be MAJOR damage to the bridge from the previous attacks or the Russians would be pumping supplies across it as fast as possible. They still might go that route and say the hell with the structural damage. As things stand Russia has a weak hold on Crimea, and it is astonishing for it to even possibly be in play.
Russia in this war has been amazingly obtuse. And they keep doubling down on that.

I keep thinking about those two sea drones that struck a shadow fleet vessel off the Turkish coast last week and failed to explode. Video showed them floating next to the targeted vessels after striking them. What happened to those drones...?

The Orban flushing continues to provide dividends.

GOOD NEWS| Hungary has unblocked €6.6 billion from EU funds intended for Ukraine’s defense.
The amount, which Viktor Orbán had blocked for two years, will be released from the European Peace Facility. Its exact allocation is still being finalized, but it is expected to be used primarily to strengthen Ukraine’s air defense.
?
This marks a significant breakthrough. After prolonged delays caused by Hungary, the release of these funds provides a major boost to Ukraine’s defense capabilities, particularly in air defense, at a critical stage of the war.

Ok, this one was not hit in the bridge. They may have abandoned already. I wouldn't have to be asked twice...

Ukraine’s Defense Forces struck high-value military and logistics targets deep inside Russia.
Among those hit were the Kronstadt naval base supporting Russia’s Baltic Fleet, a missile and ammunition arsenal, and key fuel infrastructure in Leningrad Oblast.
Explosions, fires, and secondary detonations were reported. Pressure on Russia’s war machine continues.

The 15th Arsenal is the primary munitions logistics node for the Baltic Fleet. It stores, repairs, services, and disposes of naval ordnance, torpedoes, and missile weapons.
