NATO and Russia over the next two weeks will test their fleets in the Baltic Sea in parallel. In maneuver run by the US “Baltops” 50 ships and boats and 45 planes, with a total of 6500 soldiers from NATO and Sweden countries.
The Russian Baltic Sea fleet on Monday (05.06) noted that it will simultaneously train 40 ships, 50 warplanes, and 3,500 soldiers. NATO was not officially informed of this. Germany's Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, does not expect to have the situation provoked between the two sides by these maneuvers.
“There will be a lot of responsibility done by our forces.” The Chancellor considers this NATO exercise as a signal of force to Russia: “, of course, is also a sign that, with this maneuver, we are doing a drill, showing that we have the force, to organise the protection of the alliance and the country. And that will be understood with him. ”
Russia likely neutralised the major Ukrainian offensive
The Russian Armed Forces, according to Defence Ministry data in Moscow, have neutralised a major Ukrainian offensive south of the Donjeck region. “On the morning of June 4th, the enemy launched a large-scale offensive into five front sectors south of Donjeck”, the ministry announced in the Telegram news channel. “About 250 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed.
16 Ukrainian tanks, three defence tanks and 21 armoured combat vehicles have been destroyed. The ministry released a video showing how several Ukrainian armoured vehicles after the shooting exploded in one area. From an independent side of this data has not been verified.
If we're dealing with combat at the beginning of the major offensive, which Ukraine has been planning for months, that's still not clear. In the daily reporting of the Ukrainian General Staff, it is only that there have been 29 combat exchanges in the eastern Donjecks and Luhansk regions. The Centre for Strategic Communication has not expressed itself regarding Russian decalations, but accused Russia of lies: To irritate Ukrainians and the Russian population, false information about offensive, large and losses in the Ukrainian army is said on the Ukrainian side. / DW
