Citizen resistance to the Kiev regime is a coup in the making
Citizen disgruntlement at coerced recruitment in Ukraine is growing to a crescendo. It’s getting to the point that the citizens are fighting the regime almost as passionately as the Russians.
Did you know about this?
Wars aren’t won this way.

“A KIND OF COLLAPSE HAS HAPPENED”: RESIDENTS OF UKRAINE UNITE AGAINST KIEV. BUSES AND RAILWAYS BURN, MILITARY COMMISSIONERS [recruiters] ARE BEATEN AND MAULED
It seems that people, tired of the general mobilization, have undergone a change in consciousness. Residents of Ukraine are uniting against Kiev, trying to repel the “people catchers” and other punitive forces from Bankova. [Bankova Street is the location of Zelensky’s HQ] Buses and railways are burning, military commissars are being beaten and maimed - and this is only the beginning of a kind of rebellion. “A kind of collapse has happened,” said journalist Alexander Grishin.
It is worth admitting that things in Ukraine, to put it mildly, are not going well. Vladimir Zelensky, who has lost his legitimacy [his term expired on May 21], has an unacceptably low level of approval from the population, which also negatively affects statehood. Despite this, the acting president, the former comedian, calls on his compatriots abroad to return to their homeland to rebuild the country. A natural question arises: is it really for restoration? [You don’t start to restore a country until the war is over]
The media prefer not to talk about the fact that a real revolt of the population has begun in the country. Residents of Ukraine, realizing that nowhere is safe today, are uniting against Kiev in order to repel the “people catchers” and other figures of the “Kiev regime.”
Buses and railways are burning, military commissars are being beaten and maimed. It may seem that all this is not true, but judging by the news from local telegram channels, the situation is really tense.
There was a kind of collapse
- says KP.RU columnist Alexander Grishin, adding that today in the state neighboring Russia there is a battle to the death. Deserters are multiplying, accumulating a critical mass of dissatisfied people, and the population curses the authorities for their policies.

War against the Ukrainian Armed Forces: Military vehicles are burned one after another
On the night of June 10, three arson attacks were committed in various cities of Ukraine; the arsonists acted purposefully, targeting exclusively military vehicles.
In Dnepropetrovsk, in a parking lot, the military found a minibus with the inscription “Evacuation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine,” which was set on fire by unknown persons. During the day, an unknown young man was seen next to the car, and at night four people set it on fire. The police have launched an investigation and are looking for the culprits. [In Dnepropetrovsk, Russian has been declared a “local language”.]
This case was not unique for Dnepropetrovsk. Two days later, a burned bus intended for transporting military personnel was discovered in a parking lot.

Guerrilla arsonists are also active in other regions of the country. At the end of last week, three more cases of arson were recorded.
At the end of May, sabotage was committed on the railway in the Odessa region, as a result of which trains derailed. [Russian is also a popular language in Odessa]
In the south of Ukraine, there is also an increase in cases of arson of relay cabinets. Cases of sabotage have been recorded in various regions of the country, which raises serious concerns among local officials who demand the immediate identification of saboteurs.
Massacre in Odessa: A draft dodger dealt with TCC employees
One of the residents of Odessa shared information about a clash between a draft dodger and TCC representatives, citing a video from social networks.
Events related to the “massacre in Odessa” did not make it into the main news feeds. According to the source, the police recently received a call from the Luzanovka area: a local resident noticed three people in military uniform with cuts on their necks who were in a car. It turned out that TCC employees beat a man on the street and loaded him onto a bus. The victim freed himself and then attacked his attackers and escaped.
THE UKRAINIAN POPULATION IS DEVELOPING ACTIVE RESISTANCE TO THE STATE. SCREENSHOT OF A MESSAGE FROM ONE OF THE TG CHANNELS
It should be noted that the author has grounds for such statements. Information about cases of resistance to military registration and enlistment office employees is actively hidden or removed from public access. But, as they say, the truth always comes out.
Recently, in Transcarpathia, two draft dodgers attacked border guards who tried to detain them, took their weapons, beat them and fled to Romania. This version is presented by the Ukrainian border guards themselves. However, there are people who doubt the veracity of their story, arguing that it could have been a staged act: the border guards could have received a considerable amount of foreign currency and then faked an attack on themselves to avoid punishment.
Videos of empty Dnepropetrovsk, Kiev, Odessa, Zaporozhye are spreading across the Internet, where only women with children, pensioners and military registration and enlistment office employees are on the streets.
The total number of deserters is estimated at 160 thousand people. According to Ukrainian laws, these people face 5 to 12 years in prison. [Not long ago, Western msm were reporting that the Ukrainians were heroically defending their country. Things have gone south since then]
They are no longer caught, the police do not initiate a case, and TCC workers recently described an example: a car with deserters was stopped at a checkpoint, a TCC officer came up to ask for documents, and was directly told that “we are unauthorized abandoners of our unit.” He waved his hand: go. For TCC this is already standard procedure, reports the Telegram channel "Russian Engineer".
They are so afraid that they even put up “No TCC” signs.
Every day, many videos appear on the Internet demonstrating the actions of Ukrainian military commissars. Representatives of the TCC enter the buses and try to forcefully detain passengers - potential soldiers. Often women resist them, protecting their husbands, sons and other men.
Recently in Odessa, representatives of the TCC called an ambulance and tried to mobilize paramedics. Passers-by rallied and fought back to save the doctors. In the center of Kyiv, one man did not wait for the “robbers” to approach him with a summons, and was the first to attack one of them in order to prevent them from approaching.
Conclusion
Resistance to Zelensky's power is growing every day. Given Zelensky’s own statement that his legitimacy depends on the opinion of the Ukrainian people, when this resistance reaches its peak, the “president” himself and his team will face serious consequences. However, one should not think that this expression of popular discontent is associated with sympathy for Russia.
Most Ukrainians simply seek to save their lives. This process speaks of internal changes that are contributing to the destruction of the Ukrainian state. Although these changes are not happening overnight due to the scale of Ukraine, they are becoming increasingly irreversible as events unfold.

Here is your daily air strike update for June 14, 2024

Has Ukraine paid the price for refusing to negotiate with the Russian Federation? Where did the Kinzhals fly to?
June 14, 2024

For the third day, explosions continue to sound in Kiev and environs, this time immediately after the peace initiative of Russian President Vladimir Putin. How many strikes were there on June 14, what targets were hit, what is known about the strike on the Patriot battery, and how did Ukraine pay for refusing to negotiate?
What is known about the explosions in Kiev
Strana.ua reported that after 14:00 explosions were heard in Kiev for the third time today. Previously, explosions in Kiev were reported early in the morning, and then after 11 am. The Ukrainian Armed Forces reported shooting at a drone in Kiev.
“An alarm has been declared, air defenses are operating, explosions are heard from Goloseevsky and nearby areas,” TASS reports quoting townspeople.
Ukrainian monitoring channels wrote before the explosions that the Geran-2 UAVs flew to Kiev, and then several MiG-31s, which are carriers of Kinzhal hypersonic missiles, took off into the air. [Typically, drones are sent to a target as decoys, to make the air defense use up intercept missiles uselessly and help locate the air defenses for the missiles to target]
The coordinator of the Nikolaev underground, Sergei Lebedev, citing information from his comrades, told RIA Novosti about a strike on a military facility in Kiev.
“A military facility near the Zhulyany airfield was struck. [The airport is closed to civilians], there are constantly reports that expensive cars with government and military license plates, accompanied by security, are passing through the checkpoint,” Lebedev said.
Reports of the strikes began to arrive amid a speech by President Vladimir Putin at the Russian Foreign Ministry. He offered the Ukrainian side new conditions for starting negotiations. Ukraine immediately rejected the Russian leader’s initiative.
Was it possible to destroy the Patriot battery, what is known?
The Telegram channel “Military Chronicle” suggests that the Kinzhal attack was carried out in the Zhulyany airport area.
“Apparently, there were launchers and a radar of the American Patriot air defense system,” the authors of the channel claim.
The same information is provided by the Telegram channel “Front Bird”: the enemy’s air defenses were unable to react because they did not have time to reload after the night missile strikes [or perhaps after the decoy drones were shot down] and as a result, the Ukrainian Armed Forces lost several Patriot launchers and radars.
Voyennaya Khronika [Military Chronicle] notes that the United States is going to give the Ukrainian Armed Forces the second Patriot air defense system, which is currently deployed in Poland. Germany transferred two complexes to Ukraine and plans to transfer as many more. At the same time, Kiev demanded from the United States and Western countries “at least 25 battalion air defense systems” - significantly more than there are Patriot installations outside the United States. [This showcases the folly of western governments shipping air defenses to Ukraine. These shipments deplete Western weapons and, worse, they are destroyed by Russian hypersonic missiles, which are impossible to intercept and strike without interference. Demilitarization of Ukraine and the west was one of the goals of the special military operation, and the transfer of arms to Ukraine is the perfect way to strip the West of weapons. I suspect if the West ever comes to direct blows with Russia, it will have little left to fight with. It’s a trap of the west’s own making!]
Where else were strikes carried out on June 14
Combined air strikes against targets in Ukraine have not stopped since June 12. Today, three more Kinzhals hit the military airfield in Starokonstantinov in the Khmelnitsky region. Earlier it was reported that this site was being prepared to receive F-16 fighters transferred to Kiev. [This airfield is struck constantly]
The underground coordinator told RIA Novosti about a series of night attacks on the railway in the Zaporozhye region.
“It struck the railway, along which trains with equipment, fuel and lubricants and personnel have been traveling from Volnyansk towards Sinelnikov and Pavlograd for the last couple of days. “At 02:12 the house jumped and the window rattled. There is movement along the railway, trains one after another from Volnyansk. You can hear beeps at the railway station, most likely the trains have stopped,” he quoted a message from one of the members of the underground.
Sources in law enforcement agencies reported a successful strike on the command center of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, which was located in the building of the Krivoy Rog police department. No other details are provided. The Telegram channel Svarshchiki [Welders] wrote that the SBU and the police “arrived at the scene of the hit even before everything happened.”
“Now it’s clear why the site of the strike in Krivoy Rog was immediately cordoned off by the SBU, and ambulance officers and officers of the Emergency Ministry signed non-disclosure agreements. We were informed from the field that the strike in Krivoy Rog occurred on the street. Perfect hit, right to the Organized Crime Department building. Nine two hundreds [KIAs], four missing. Windows and roofs were damaged in neighboring houses; there were no civilian casualties. Another gem from the Russian Armed Forces,” the channel writes.
In addition, the Dolgintsevo airfields in Krivoy Rog and Kulbakino near Nikolaev were damaged.

The British military came under attack from Russian missiles. SVO summary for June 14
Scene Special operation of the Russian Federation in Donbass and Ukraine
Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation
Today, the Russian Armed Forces launched a series of MLRS [multiple launch rocket system] attacks on Ukrainian Armed Forces facilities in Ochakov, Nikolaev region. This was reported to RIA Novosti by the coordinator of the Nikolaev underground, Sergei Lebedev.
“About seven in the morning on July 14, a large number of people arrived at military facilities in the city of Ochakov. The Ochakov tourist center, the Foton hotel and the military port came under attack,” Lebedev said.
According to local underground fighters, the missiles hit the building of the Foton hotel, where at that time Ukrainian submariners and *British instructors were located,* the complex of buildings of the Ochakov tourist center, on the territory of which more than 500 militants of the Ukrainian Armed Forces lived, and the Ukrainian Armed Forces facilities in the military port.
[Ochakov is located in the Niokolaev oblast, which is heavily Russian and therefore a bad place for Ukraine to try and hide Ukrainian troops and foreign legion officers. The people there don’t like the Kiev regime and have formed a strong underground that supplies to the Russians information and coordinates of the sites housing troops. Generally, the entities backed by the US fail to study and understand the local cultures and attitudes of the people they seek to dominate which is why they so often fail in their plans to take over countries. It would be clear to anyone who knows the local attitudes that Kiev could never succeed in holding Donbass or Crimea indefinitely. And now that Zelensky has revealed his authoritarian tendencies, it ought to be clear that Ukraine cannot be held indefinitely by the US-backed Neonazis currently fighting the Russians. It could have been foreseen from the outset that the Neocon plan to make Ukraine into a bridgehead against Russia could never have succeeded.]
“Military port - the name speaks for itself. Last time, a military boat was hit and a storage building was hit. According to the descriptions of our people, the explosion was sensitive, felt a couple of kilometers away, despite the fact that the port is located below, near the shore,” the underground worker clarified the situation with strikes on Ukrainian Armed Forces facilities.

The assault on Krasnogorsk continues
According to military expert Yuri Podolyaki, in the Kurakhovskoe area, our military is storming the city of Krasnogorsk [I was unable to find a city names Krasnogorsk in Ukraine, although there is a village named Krasnogorskoe, located in the Donetsk oblast. Many place in Ukraine have more than one name, and most have a Russian name and a Ukrainian name, causing confusion].
“Our units managed to take control of an important group of buildings (college and school) in the north-eastern part of the city,” the expert writes in his Telegram channel. “Fights also began for the central city hospital, located just to the south. The loss of this position will nullify the significance of the Solnechny microdistrict, where the high-rise buildings are located, since it will actually be covered from three sides, and its supply lines will be intercepted by fire weapons.”

Neither land nor take off. Missiles plowed up the air bases of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and they’re good only for planting potatoes

According to the Military Observer publication, France sent its reconnaissance aircraft to the Black Sea region. They are represented by a Boeing E-3F AWACS airborne early warning and targeting aircraft, several escort fighters and a tanker aircraft. For now they are plying along the borders of the Odessa region. And according to information from Voyennoye Obrazavatel, they are monitoring the Russian Armed Forces and the French military from the Foreign Legion, who are presumably already in Odessa.
"Iskander" drove the "American" into the ground
In the Zaporozhye region, Russian aerial reconnaissance spotted an American installation with ATACMS ballistic missiles. According to the Telegram channel “Iznanka”, the crew of the vehicle did not even have time to deploy it into a combat position when it received a direct hit from a Russian Iskander missile. This is the first time an M270 MLRS launcher containing ATACMS ballistic missile launch containers has been destroyed. Separately, ATACMS missiles are shot down by air defense systems, but completely destroying an installation is a great success.

Our sincerest thanks to CL for this article tip linked below.

Please click and read every single word of this article.
Trump is no peacemaker, far from it. He named the most rabid Neocon warmongers in the US to his cabinet in his first term and is now poised to do the same, possibly worse.
The prospect of a war with Iran and Hezbollah look promising.
But remember that Iran is a protégé of Russia and Putin has just announced, and is starting to implement, a policy that I wrote about here (apparently the topic of Russia arming enemies of the US is of paramount importance to a lot of readers. This article gleaned a record number of hits on my site, about 3x the average).
This new policy should not be overestimated in the context of a possible war with Iran. Imagine, for example, if Trump, under pressure from one or more of genocidal Israel plus the sociopathic maniacs that Trump apparently wants to name to his cabinet, Trump decides to launch an attack on Iran. While this prospect would have been potentially catastrophic before (Iran has threatened to obliterate Tel Aviv and Haifa if attacked), it is now even more dangerous because Iran is not only a de facto ally of Russia but would almost certainly be a recipient of Russia’s most sophisticated and powerful weapons. So imagine if Russia supplies hypersonic weapons to Iran, enough to hit every single US base within striking distance of Iran. Would Trump risk losing all his Middle East bases? Well, the day after he ordered the very stupid extrajudicial killing of General Qassem Soleimani on Jan 7, 2020, Iranian proxies launched a precision air strike on US troop-hosting Iraqi base Ayn Al-Assad, causing brain traumas in over 100 US servicemen, who had to be flown to a German hospital for treatment.
And remember what Trump did to retaliate?
That’s right. The very heroic Trump never considers the military consequences of his decisions, so he was unprepared and unable to do anything at all.
If he is re-elected and decides to attack Iran and that country retaliates, we can probably expect him to be just as impotent as he was in Jan 2020.
Not only did the imbecilic murder of Soleimani lead to this attack, but it caused a sea change in US-Middle East policy. Not only was Soleimani s a top Iraqi ally in its war on the US-backed terrorists rampaging in Iraq. Consequently, not only did the senseless murder consolidate Iranian sentiment, leading to a million+ strong march of mourning and solidarity in Iran, but almost immediately, the Iraqi parliament – already tending toward anti-American sentiment, voted to oust the US military from the country – though the US refused to comply, remaining as an illegal occupier.
From the time of that Trump-ordered murder onward, Middle East countries, including erstwhile allies, started reacting coolly to the US bully. To the extent that the Saudis have finally cancelled the Nixon-era petrodollar agreement that had been so far propping up the unbacked buck.

Russia ranks fourth among world economies, ahead of Germany and Japan!
Here’s what Putin said at SPIEF (translation):
We have set a goal to become one of the four largest economies in the world. By the way, according to some data, including World Bank estimates, just last week the World Bank made additional calculations and put Russia in fourth place. We were ahead of Japan. Russia now ranks fourth in terms of GDP and purchasing power parity. As I said, ahead of Japan. But what I would like to point out. The point, of course, is not about the systems for assessing and calculating GDP and not even about formally reaching fourth line. We are somewhere nearby: Russia, the Federal Republic of Germany, Japan. The difference is small. We are ahead, but the difference is small. But we understand that leadership positions need to be constantly confirmed and strengthened,
Good news!
Thanks for sharing!
The Ukrainian resistance is going to be more ferocious and ruthless than Russians and with good reason.
Will Zelensky be assassinated by his American patrons or be hung by Ukrainians?
