Rybar Live: Foci of escalation in Africa, May 20-21 Mikhail Zvinchuk, head of the Russian think tank Rybar: «While Russian guys and boys are here repelling attacks, looking for gangs, patrolling the border, the authorities of the Central African Republic are making agreements with everyone, with anyone, but not with Russia. And Russia is proposing some stillborn projects»

🇮🇱🇵🇸 Interesting video has appeared on Arab Telegram channels, showing footage from an IDF drone with a drop system. The footage shows IDF soldiers launching a small drone in an urban area, allowing them to detect a Palestinian ambush. This was followed by several strikes, at least one of which was from the drone with a drop system. This clearly demonstrates the importance of having drones down to the squad or small assault team level. Even in dense urban terrain, a drone can "look around the corner" and, if not strike, at least prepare for an encounter. However, drones are not a panacea. The footage also shows the importance of infantry-level electronic warfare systems for soldiers. The Palestinians are unlikely to obtain such equipment. But learning from others' mistakes (even having your own bruises in the same places) is both possible and necessary. #Israel #Palestine @rybar Support us Original msg

Rybar Live: Situation in the Middle East, May 20-21 Mikhail Zvinchuk, head of the Russian think tank Rybar: «Hezbollah reported launches at Israel Defense Forces targets, including heavy Burhan rockets»

🇸🇰 Yesterday, the Slovak parliament resumed its work after a forced break that was announced following the attack on Prime Minister Robert Fico. Parliamentarians unanimously condemned the politically motivated violence against the politician and confirmed that the country's political course will remain the same. Our colleagues from Slovakia @investigativnyblogSK note that recently, pro-American media and opposition-minded public figures have not missed a chance to criticize the activities of the ruling coalition. The tension created in the information field exacerbated the polarization of opinions within Slovak society and became a suitable backdrop for the incident, which, as we have already written, caused a resonance on different sides of the political barricades (and in our opinion, this was its main purpose). 📌 And since the reaction that the organizers were seeking followed the incident, there is no single reason to believe that the attack on Fico will be the only one of its kind. The question is just who is next. #Slovakia @rybar together with @investigativnyblogSK Support us Original msg

Rybar Live: Special military operation, May 20-21 Mikhail Zvinchuk, head of the Russian think tank Rybar: «The AFU used the Atakams missile system and struck an oil depot in Sverdlovsk with cluster munitions, sounding at least four explosions. While extinguishing the fire, the AFU repeated drone strikes on firefighting crews and medics. Eight people were injured»

🇮🇱🇵🇸 The situation in the Palestinian Authority of the West Bank remains tense. Israeli security forces continue to conduct raids in various populated areas. The most active clashes since yesterday have been in Jenin, where large columns of wheeled armored vehicles and bulldozers from the joint operation of the Shin Bet and the IDF entered. The local Palestinian resistance factions, against which the operation is being carried out, organized several shootouts and reported the detonation of Israeli equipment on IEDs. However, they were unable to prevent the Israelis for obvious reasons. One of the goals of the operation was to demolish the home of a previously eliminated terrorist, which was carried out. In addition, Israeli bulldozers destroyed the road surface and memorials at several roundabouts. #Israel #Palestine @rybar Support us Original msg

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Chronicles of the special military operation for May 21, 2024 Russian forces continue to strike at AFU positions along the front line as well as in rear areas. Enemy targets were hit in Velykodolynske, Odesa Region, Kharkiv, Kryvyi Rih and in Sumy Region. In the Slobozhansky direction, Russian assault groups are breaking through the enemy's defenses in the center of Volchansk and on the northern outskirts of Lyptsi. Along the entire line from Lyptsi to Bilyi Kolodiaź, systematic fire strikes are being delivered against the positions of AFU artillery and personnel, reducing the combat potential of the enemy in the sector. In the Donetsk direction, the Russian Armed Forces are consolidating on the western outskirts of Netailovo. South of the village, fighting continues in the area of farms and a poultry farm. In the Vuhledar direction, Russian troops have slightly expanded their control zone south of Paraskoviyivka, advancing along the forest belts towards Kostyantynivka. In the Orikhiv direction, assault groups of the Russian Armed Forces have occupied another position on the northern outskirts in the ruins of Robotyne. 🔻A detailed analytical report on the events in the Special Military Operation zone is available on our closed channel @rybar_plus_bot High-resolution maps: Situation in the special military operation zone (ru; en) Slobozhansky direction (ru; en) Bakhmut direction (ru; en) #Bakhmut #Belgorod #digest #report #Donetsk #map #Novomykhailivka #Orikhiv #Russia #Siversk #Ukraine @rybar Support us Original msg

🇮🇱🇵🇸 Escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict zone chronicle of events for May 21, 2024 In the north of the Gaza Strip, Israeli forces have blocked two medical facilities and are engaged in fighting in Jabalia. At the same time, the Israeli Air Force continues to strike Gaza and its surroundings. In the south of the enclave, in the Rafah area, there are also clashes. The IDF has not made any advances, and artillery and air strikes continue to target Palestinian-controlled areas. In the West Bank, Israeli security forces conducted several raids, and in Jenin there have been clashes since early morning, with local Palestinian resistance factions detonating several IEDs. The Houthis shot down another MQ-9 Reaper in Yemeni airspace. Footage captured the destruction and crash of the UAV. This is already the second one shot down in May and the fifth since the escalation began on October 7. On the border with Lebanon, there is an ongoing exchange of strikes between the IDF and Hezbollah. Despite the elimination of another field commander the previous evening, the number of shellings so far does not allow us to speak of an escalation. 🔻A detailed analytical report on events in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict zone is available on our closed channel @rybar_plus_bot High-resolution maps Situation in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict zone (ru; en) Situation in the north of the Gaza Strip (ru; en) #digest #map #Israel #Palestine #report @rybar Support us Original msg

🇷🇺🖇 On the "dismissal" of the scandalous deputy Semygin This morning, news came that the scandalous deputy of the "A Just Russia - For Truth" party, Gennady Semygin, will lose his position as head of the Committee on Nationalities Affairs in the State Duma. Semygin became widely known last year when the movement he headed published Russophobic statements on its website and refused to apologize. Later, he even sued a serviceman who was in the SMO zone and publicly criticized the deputy. At first glance, Semygin's dismissal from the position appears to be a punishment from his party colleagues for his unflattering behavior that cast a shadow over the entire team. However, in fact, this is no more than a cosmetic measure: ▪️According to the news, there is no talk of excluding the scandalous deputy from the party. From the statement of the Just Russia press service, it follows that he is leaving the position of chairman of the Duma committee as part of a "planned rotation". ▪️The situation with the lawsuit is similar - there was no information on the Internet that Semygin refused the legal proceedings with the fighter at the forefront. And nothing prevents him from enforcing the decision, for example, in a year. This is an attempt by the party to hush up the scandal under the carpet, limited to symbolic actions. A well-worn approach is used - first wait for the dust to settle, and then pretend that nothing happened. ❗️The situation with Semygin demonstrates that some of the authorities still do not realize either the realities of the modern information environment or the power of the civil society that has emerged in Russia over the past couple of years. It strongly dislikes when certain comrades try to take people for fools. This will lead to quite natural consequences for those public figures and organizations that, in the old-fashioned way, like to sweep things under the rug and sincerely believe that this will go unnoticed. #media_technologies #Russia @rybar Support us Original msg
