Russian Ruble Tumbles To 2-Month Lows, Stocks Drop Following "Large-Scale" Rebel Offensive In Ukraine
The Ruble just hit 54/USD - its weakest since early April - as IFX reports a "large-scale" rebel offensive in eastern Ukraine involving 10 tanks and around 1000 troops. Ukraine's military has redeployed troops to halt this rebel offensive and has informed its international partners on the re-deployment which leaves The Minsk Accord hanging by a thread. Ironically Ukraine bonds had earlier jumped to 3-month highs on optimism surrounding restructuring that haircuts would not be as severe, but the reignition of tensions in the country have taken the shine of that exuberance.
- *MICEX EXTENDS LOSSES, DROPS 1.2% AFTER IFX REPORT ON UKRAINE
- *RUBLE SINKS 2.2% AFTER IFX REPORT OF REBEL OFFENSIVE IN UKRAINE
The Ruble is tumbling...
And MICEX is being sold...
As Bloomberg notes,

Don't you mean a Blackwater/Black ops offensive? I'm confused
soros plan
Because he was in short to RUB
Of course the old Reptile Soros is short. He has to compensate for the losses he has taken on the Ukie bonds, and on previous shorts of the RUB. Instead of imploding, the Russian economy is holding it's own.
The Ukies were told by their western handlers to go active on the Donbass, to hand Russia for the implosion and IMF exploitation of their economy. So in the typical USSA fashion, they blame the victims (Donbass) and attack. It is all BS and more nations are starting to figure it out.
even Kiev news sources told UA attacked..
also new releases on MH17
ukrainian forces been pounding donetsk for the past 2-3 weeks almost daily - western news silent. when dnr/lnr forces retaliate the bells are ringing - typical.
Selective Headlines: Yesterday Assad is in bed with ISIS and today the russian backed boogeymen are on the offensive... They are really pushing the propaganda to get something heated up
The Anglo American empire is fading, and in typical British Empire fashion, wars are launched to weaken potential rivals. Notice that the US benefited greatly by WW1 and WW2. A good ol' style global war should provide the pretext for resetting the western financial system and screwing the 99.9% of everything they thought they owned.
LL - it's G7 time. Nato wants to keep war on their agenda.
Yep, there is no value to a MIC unless there are threats, real, imagined and manufactured.
I do not watch shit TV but was in a place yesterday at dinner time. NBC news was on. Some black guy named Rashid pulled a long knife and was shot dead by cops. They did not even consider wounding him or using a taser. Who knows if he even pulled a knife.
They then said Rashid may have been interested or connected to ISIS. (WTF!?!)
Then they segue into how the police state might have been hampered stopping people like Rashid if the Patriot Act had been allowed to sunset and end.
My jaw hit the floor. Goebbels would be proud. This is national NBC news.
There was a follow up meeting regarding the Minsk protocol a few days ago. Ukraine refused to implement the political reforms mandated at Minsk for autonomy in Donetsk and Lugansk. The Ukrainians stated there will be no dialog with the eastern leaders and effectively declared that hostilities will resume.
http://slavyangrad.org/2015/06/02/ukraine-will-not-engage-in-dialogue-wi...
"eastern leaders" - are you referring to putin's criminal shills instituted in those parts of Ukraine by covert warfare operations of russian army? Got it.
No, he doesn't, Poroshenko. Btw, how did your facebook-goes-Kiev initiative play out?
99.9999999999999999999999999999%
Remember: we're all in it together.
Tell that to the Banksters who think they will disappear into their underground hideyholes while the surface dwellers destroy themselves.
Well, maybe it's the bottom 80% of us vs the top 0.1% and their 19.9% enablers.
It's so hard to know exactly where to draw the line, and who exactly is on your side.
Well currently russia needs usd/rub at 50-51 so it aint that bad as shown by tyler durden this offensive was not started by rebels . Ukraine regime has been killing ukrans resulting in high casulaties . Now osce failed to stop them being a western orgntzn . And naf finally took matters in their own hand to stop them .
.
How do I block Tyler's shitty Top 10 streaming ad bullshit on FireFox? I am really getting sick up this Top 10 list crap with some guy with an robot English voice.

UA has been pounding civilian areas for days now. They do this to force rebels into a defensive response, which can be called an offensive. The Minsk 2 is simply cover for the rebuilding of the UA and preparation for a major offensive sometime soon. Problem is that moral amoung the UA is so low that offensives are nearly impossible. They simply will not fight if it means heavy combat, they were conscripted into the army, many of last years veterans are now released from service, aming troops largely green. While the rebels have increasing numbers of volunteers, the rebels are all volunteer, and moral is no problem. The only time rebel moral has suffered is when they have been caught outnumbered 20 to 1 in some fights last year.
Moreover, the longer the war drags on, the less enthusiam that the Ukies have for fighting against the Donbass. They never really wanted or expected to fight against the eastern Ukrainians, much less Russia.
The grave miscalculation made by the USSA was their belief/delusion that the average Ukie was willing to fight against their brethren in the Donbass and Russia. It was well known in Lvov, for example, that you could earn a good daily wage carrying a sign denouncing Russia. No need to work hard, breaking your back or actually learning useful skills. Essentially the USSA State Dept became an unofficial part of the Kiev welfare state. Many of the western Ukies took advantage of the naivete of the US 'observers', telling them anything they wanted to hear as long as they got paid for essentially doing nothing.
However, given the numerous defeats suffered by the Ukie military, poor equipment, failure to pay death benefits by declaring dead soldiers to be 'missing' and then burying them in unmarked graves, etc, the average western Ukie would rather compete with the Polish for cleaning european toilets than actually fight in the Donbass.
That is some industrial grade bullshit brother. Some bizzare mixture of russian propaganda, stereotypes and outright lies/misinformation.
ZATO and Soros are such liars. The Ukies and their stupid Mercs are breaking the ceasefire like the scum they are.
I hope Zivi and Motorola get them in another cauldron (encirclement) so the Ukies can hand over the rest of their equipment to NovoRussia.
Endless war from the Neo Cons and Neo Libs. Endless mass murder in the Ukraine and Syria plus other places. Plus endless bankster murder in greece and other places.
That's right - all russian media outlets were talking about "rebels" offensive last morning (like in rebels taking on UA army held positions) anticipating quick victory of "miners and machinsts" (actually not - Russia's infamous GRU/Specnaz covert units) until it didn't work out as well as planned, and the tune has been changed later on to Ukraine attacking positions they already held (?!)- typical putin media schizophrenia. These russians just made it a criminal offence to seek information about russian army casualties (too much investigations were coming up) - just in time to cover up losses they have been suffering in this covert war against Ukraine. Claiming that Ukraine (approx. size of state of Texas with an army of about 251 000 active personnel and just conventional weapons) is fueling and escalating this conflict and taking on Russia (approx. size of 24.6 states size of Texas with army of about 771 000 active personnel and nukes) is totally fucking delusional. Ukrainians are not suicidal and all there are doing is protecting their own land.
More fantasy, more empty talking.
FWIW: That's an AKS-74U and a PKM
The AKS stock folds on the left side
Those are good old 7.62x54R(ussian) rounds in the PKM belt
That's some heavy old weaponry but it still runs!
I was wondering what that belt fed was. Like to add one to my "cache".
Here ya go:
http://www.forgottenweapons.com/medium-machine-guns/pk-pkm/
Cool video, thanks for the link <g>
Novorussia (DPR) was using old 1930s recoiless rifles and old weapons they had in museums at the start of the Kiev genocide. Old WW2 stuff and pre-WW2 stuff because that was all they had.
These NovoRussian miners and farmers kicked ass with that old stuff too. Most of the Ukie conscripts also do not want to fight for scum like Porky, Yats and their boss Soros-McCain.
They still use WWII era single round anti-tank rifles. The reccoil is seriously impressive.
Nah man, these novorussia men (aka. russian military on "vacation") kicked some ass with sticks and stones - all alone against ukrainian army with fairly modern weaponry. They got those sticks and stone hatchets right from the local area Natural history museum, prehistoric people section, I swear. Best part about those weapons – no recoil whatsoever and no need in ammo either. Those guys are just that awesome. </sarc> Time turn your brain on.
Upper one looks like an underfolder to me.
Maybe
But I made a mistake nobody caught
It's 7.62x54 RIMMED, not Russian.
I think the coup scum are being attacked by the media, Russia aint rolling tanks anywhere, rolling tanks gets the tanks annihilated, this is 21century war, missiles and manpads rule, tank are out. The nationstate that doesnt go bankrupt first wins (that would not be the EU).
All FIFA's fault.

Oh hell, we've got tons more than that going into Texas and Utah.
No problem, we've got the Texas National Guard on it.
Why? You let russian immigrants to settle there?
"Ukraine A History" Orest Subtelney
please fix your ignorance
You are not living in Texas or Utah. Are you?
Time to "punish" Russia again with a cheaper RUB which helps pad their nominal growth figures.
These economic warfare strategies are so cliche, so old, so predictable now. What a joke.
Just hot money getting the F out. Stop it with the conspiracy shit ALL the time.
Hot money is a conspiracy in and of itself. Thank you for confirming.
If the newz was twittered from Kiev then we know the opposite is the real newz.
http://fortruss.blogspot.ca/2015/06/heavy-fighting-resumes-around-donets...
Just one word missing.It was a counter attack.The rebels would have to be attacking themselves
in Donetsk.The MSM will lap it up anyway,even though it defies logic.
I'm sure the ukroppen are claiming that the "rebels" are attacking themselves. Which is why Kiev is being forced to attack Transnistria.
Opposite exactly rely on bloomberg lies

Nice link. Volkodav, thanks for posting. (And good luck)
DPR PM Zakarchenko said there will be NO Minsk 3 this time. Minsk 2 was to let the mercs, Zato spec ops, Xe, Blackwater, Acedemie and other scum out of the last cauldron. Zakarchenko said they will not let them out next time.
Givi, Motorola and Zakarchenko at the Victory Parade. Go get em boys. These miners and farmers in NovoRussia do not make threats. They don't start fights - they finish them.

Much of the armor was donated by the Ukrainian Army. Kudos to Ukrainian men who do NOT want to fight for the dual shit-i-Zen scum in Kiev like Yats and Porky (aka Waltzman). How many passports and names do Yats and Porky have. Yats is Soros boy in the Ukraine.
What is interesting is DPR (NovoRussia) can refurbish and fix tanks and BMPs and other weapons quickly. They can take a beat to shit tank or BMP and clean it up and get it ready for battle quickly.
In Kiev/Ukraine - they cannot fix shit. Any parts or donated crap like those British Saxons is stolen or sold to another country. They cannot repair anything. Most of the people do not want to do anything for corrupt Kiev.
Kiev is so corrupt like Washington DC.
Tell me again, which Russian security service do you work for?
I work for the McCain klan.
Johnny almost sunk the USS forrestal and killed hundreds of sailors. He an dKerry also sold out US POWs and MIAs in Vietnam. His pappy, who was my old boss, sold out the sailors on the USS Liberty who were mass murdered.
Old man McCain, Johnny's pa, recalled F-4 Phantoms sent to protect the USS Liberty sailors from being murdered by non-christians. Then he told the Navy ships to slowly sail to the Liberty hoping all the sailors and witnesses were dead.
Who showed up first trying to help and save those dying AMERICAN sailors on the USS Liberty? The (Christian & white) Russians. So F U!
Tell Putin to mail me my check. Go back to your (police) State Dept job - douchebag. F off.
Funny how McCain, Kerry and CFR Newt dumped thier wives for wealthier spouses. Newt just wanted a bimbo.
Funny how Putin has never called McCain out on any of this. He has had many direct opportunities to do so.
I find that peculiar. Perhaps Putin is saving a PR expose for later.

Crimea/LNR/DNR/Nanorussia circus, parade and the whole invasion & war in Ukraine – courtesy of Russian taxpayers and result of covert invasion and special operations of Russian army conducting covert warfare on sovereign territory of Ukraine. Fairy tales about clueless/lazy/”nazy” Ukrainians and their government, “workers & farmers” “rebels” armed by WWII weaponry taken from local museums and UA army – products of massive scale Russian propaganda information warfare conducted to support their land operations and to facilitate the protection of corporate interests of Russia Inc. (Putin and Friends Corp.). Freddie is a misinformed lost soul OR information warfare soldier representing Mr. Putin’s totalitarian hydrocarbon super-profits nuclear state trying to assert their interests by all means possible in new growing Europe.
Ummmm. Quite a lot of fantasy.
Kiev TV actually told UA attacked
bloomberg lies more than any
Disagree. Once in a great while Bloomberg will let some truth slip, while the New York Times always prints disinfo and lies about Russia and the Ukraine.
both lie, they wallow in believe their own version...
i agree nyt...but it not so much out there in your face where I see
The Guardian and BBC the same.
Bloomberg reported the Russians were using "mobile crematoriums" to hide their dead soldiers in the East Ukraine.
Sounds like crazy talk to me, can't be true, can it?
They lie even when they're telling the truth.
It is the "why" of the lie that carries the message.

In any war, the first casualty is truth. Wasn't Soros preparing Ukraine for a major war with Russia?
Yup, and for years, too. But the Ukraine army is not cooperating with Soros - soldiers running away, citizens dodging the draft, conscripts calling journalists to complain about the lack of equipment, etc.. Could be that future historians will say the real heroes in the Ukraine army were the ones who refused to fight.
The Russian strongman needs to be removed and a more responsible leader installed. The world will thank us.
" a more responsible leader installed " like Obongo ? Can you imagine if this more responsible leader start using drones to bomb the EU and act as a warmonger just like Obongo ? We would be in real trouble !
Go ahead, FraudStooging, lead by example and take out Putin yourself. Let us know how that works out for you, LOL>
Bot, panting and wiping the sweat from his forehead, greasy sticky fingers knocking furiously on the keyboard, denouncing the treachery of the Russians. Clearly in his possession the towering intellect of Kiev.

Don't bother responding, its just software.
"Responsible" is a euphemism for "compliant client."

Well the world thanks you for Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen, and the American Special forces also known as ISIS for it,
Why should we pay any attention to you? You can't even be bothered to come up with your own screen name.
sounds like a bot
Reports I see is that the Ukr Nazis started an offensive, not the NAF.
Just nuke downtown Kiev and cut the head off this snake.
Would have to nuke Tel Aviv for that.
...but they have that Samson Option so its a no go either.
If true, then the Kiev forces have won the "waiting game" by enticing the Donbass forces to make the first military advance of significant size. The MSM will be running with this for the rest of the summer. If Ukraine has been attacked and Donbass is the aggressor, it will be a lot easier for NATO/US to justify increased military support and increased financial aid for Ukraine to those who have argued against both.
Unless , of course , the Novorussian forces take Kiev . If the do so they should shell with tanks the USA embassy ! That would make my day !
I will believe the Novorussian forces want Kiev only after they take Kharkiv and Odessa. Even then I would have doubts. Who needs a Kiev headache? There are many pro-Novorussian people living in both Kharkiv and Odessa who would be easier to govern.
It would not matter who started it. The western media would still report that the NAF attacked. Reference the fighting last year as exhibit A of this behavior.
"If Ukraine has been attacked and Donbass is the aggressor"
In Donetsk? Donbass would have launched a "large-scale offensive" AGAINST ITSELF?
Don't be any more of an idiot than you absolutely have to.
The giveaway is that each claim begins with "UKRAINE SAYS". Empirically, this indicates that the words which follow are the exact opposite of reality.
The UKI think that shelling every day areas in Novorussia is compatible to the Minsk 2 accord !
Interesting that Moscow's IFX is one of the first to report a "large scale rebel offensive", although they're just echoing Kiev's rhetoric which is usually as trustworthy as a love child shat out of a homosexual union between Benedict Arnold and Vidkun Quisling. I'll have to wait and see on this one. Interesting just the same.

The real story is how Brian Williams jumped in front of Kerry, and took the bullet for him. That is why is taking a 6 month break from broadcasting.
A little off topic but Boston was related to Russia as the Russian warned about the pasty brothers.

After all, Soros owns the US Treasury

"Ukraine's military has redeployed troops..."
That's a euphemism for throwing clueless conscripts into the meat grinder.
The Ukies are forcibly conscripting workers whilst they are on their way to work by bus. Sensible Ukrainian males have moved to Russia for the duration.

Large-scale ?
Come on, even a ISIL small attack is bigger than this.
That is all they need vs Soros's NAZI AZOV pudwhackers.
Azov. What a joke. The only true believers owned by the non-Christian oligarchs.
These Azov cowards never go to the front lines. They send all the conscripts up there.

If some Nazi SOB was shelling my home I would do the same.
Kiev really misses Donetsk airport. What do they hope to land there in those craters.
for artillery position to shell Donetsk city
Porkyschenko wants the Donetsk Airport back so that he can build a monument to the Ukie Cyborgs. The real reason is to shell Donetsk. But I predict that the only monument to Porky will be the headstone placed upon his tomb.

Looks like the Polish Army is once again on the move, invading and taking over peaceful radio stations in the Fatherland.
no, it is not Polish army, it is Azov (Ukranian Nazis) plus some radical islamist batallion the USA sent there. I am not joking! These are reports directly from Donbass. On the other hand, the good news seem to be that they have more and more trouble to get normal Western Ukrainain population to fight, almost NONE of them wants to fight anymore. They will need more and more mercenaries, but that is still not enough to defeat the Donbass people. Besides, the USA is used to fighting mostly with planes and they cannot here! Why? Because the Russian air-defense covers Donbass. Americans cannot send any planes there to drop bombs, as those planes would be quickly eliminated. So the only thing they can do is to send mercenaries and fight on the ground - which means they CANNOT win. The USA was never able to win anything without air superiority, not even with mercenaries.
No shit I know it's not the Polish invading Ukraine, it was a historical reference to the supposed trigger that Germany claimed to justify their invasion of Poland. Same strategy in play in the Ukraine it seems, just different actors. Good analysis, however, you are correct. US will send in busloads of Blackwater or Xi mercenaries to destabilize the region until Pooty pushes the big red button. Just the thought of that makes them have to change their underwear. They could then claim the "moral high ground" and justify any action towards Russia and any other "rogue" nation under that causus beli. It would be like 9/11 times a million, but I bet they would squander it in about as much time as Bush did.

I think I agree, but it's not surprising that your laptop is smoking.
Be reminded that in the night from June 2 to June 3 several localities of thre DPR (Donetsk, Gorlovka, Staromikhailovka, Yenakiyevo) had been subjected to massive Ukrainian shelling, and on June 3 at about 4:00 AM the DPR Army resorted to an assault on the position of Kiev forces n the area of settlement Maryinka.
http://novorossia.today/dpr-army-liberated-locality-maryinka-to-the-west...
This is obviously an act of American aggression designed to undermine the mighty Russian bear.
The ruble and stock devaluations may be a normal reaction to increased violence in Ukraine or they may be manipulations to "punish" Russia again for actions by her friends in Donbass. Whatever. The real news is that the Novorussians announced they kept Ukraine army out of Maryinka and the false news (from Ukraine govt.) is that the rebels attacked first.

THE SANCTIONS ON RUSSIA EXPIRE AT THE END OF JUNE, BEGINNING OF JULY
THE US/EU HAVE BEEN TRYING TO PROVOKE PUTIN INTO A RESPONSE WITH ALL HIS RUSSIAN TROOPS IN DONBAS s/ TO GET THE SANCTIONS EXTENDED
UKRAINE'S RATCHETING THINGS UP NOW IS NO SURPRISE
EXPECT RUSSIA TO ANNOUNCE THAT IT CAN'T DELIVER MORE ASTRONAUTS TO THE ISS AND THAT IT WILL MAKE AN ATTEMPT TO RETURN TO EARTH THE THREE UP THERE NOW.
**** Bringing down the crew does not involve blasting off a rocket with people on board while sending more up does.
**** We'll have to see what kind of hardball Obama plays with Sovakia, Hungary, Greece, etc.
No one in Russia realistically expects the sanctions to be removed this July. But give it another year when the costs of sanctions continue to rise in the EU, or if Greece votes no.
For sure the US sanctions will not expire. Whether or not the EU's ssanctions do, depends on just ONE no vote out of 28.
Slovakia, Czech Republic, Greece, Turkey, Hungary. Even France and Germany have made end-of-sanctions noise.
the horse trading (or threats) begin
Not only will the sanctions NOT be lifted, whatever dirt Emperor Peace Prize had on Sepp Blatter means that quite soon Russia will lose it's 2018 World Cup to the "rightful" selection: the UK
Obysmal and the American Neocunts are stupid enough to think that boycotting the World Cup is just like boycotting the Olympics. They will be held in Russia or they won't be held at all. The foreign fans and players wioll not tolerate Obama's bullshit.
The Olympics are held once every four years and nations are duly proud of their champions. But its not the same as watching games and following the scores of football.
Football is played day in and day out all around the world and seen by hundreds of millions of fans. Fans who want to see their teams in the playoffs and if they don't, know who is responsible.
Let our Black Hole try to boycott the games and hold them elsewhere. Let the English, German and Dutch teams not show up.
THE 2018 WORLD CUP WILL BE HELD IN RUSSIA.
PERIOD.
There is only one Russian whose opinion counts about the expectation of the removal of sanctions.
I, for one, don't underestimate his ability to have them removed.
