🇺🇦 Ex-Yanukovych Advisor Assassinated After Reported Threats to Zelensky—Ukrainian Media
Former advisor to Viktor Yanukovych, Andriy Portnov, was shot dead in Madrid on May 21—just days after visiting Ukraine and reportedly meeting with top law enforcement officials, according to Ukrainian media.
He was in the country on May 17–18, holding discussions with high-ranking figures in charge of the security apparatus. One well-known Ukrainian blogger claims that Portnov also met with Zelensky and his chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, during which he allegedly issued demands tied to compromising material on the presidential office. Shortly afterward, he was assassinated. Spanish police have stated they do not rule out a political motive behind the killing.
The incident is fueling speculation that Portnov was eliminated for challenging the Kiev regime.

🇺🇦 Zaluzhny: Ukraine Won’t Regain 1991 or 2022 Borders
Former Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and Ambassador to the UK, Valeriy Zaluzhny, said he no longer believes Ukraine will recover its 1991 or 2022 borders.
Speaking online at the "Security Export: Ukrainian Weapons in the World" forum, Zaluzhny stated:
“I hope no one here still believes in miracles—or in some 'white swan' that will bring peace and restore the 1991 or even 2022 borders. In my view, as long as the enemy has resources, strength, and the means to strike, that won't happen.”
🇺🇸Washington Prepares Grand Military Parade for U.S. Army's 250th Anniversary and Trump's 79th Birthday
On June 14, 2025, Washington, D.C., will host a major military parade to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army, coinciding with former President Donald Trump's 79th birthday. The event, estimated to cost between $25 million and $45 million, will feature over 6,600 soldiers, 150 military vehicles — including M1 Abrams tanks, Bradley Fighting Vehicles, and Strykers — and 50 aircraft such as Black Hawks and Apaches. The parade route will extend from the Pentagon to the National Mall, with heavy vehicles joining near the Lincoln Memorial to avoid infrastructure damage.
The celebration will also include historical reenactments, military demonstrations, musical performances, and a fireworks display. President Trump is scheduled to deliver remarks and participate in a reenlistment ceremony for 250 soldiers. The Army's Golden Knights parachute team will perform a demonstration, and an Army astronaut will join the festivities from the International Space Station.
While organizers emphasize the event's focus on honoring military service, some critics express concern over the parade's timing and potential politicization. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has raised issues regarding the inclusion of heavy military equipment on city streets, citing potential damage and associated repair costs.

🇵🇱🇺🇦 Poland Backs Ending Ukraine’s EU Trade Privileges Amid Farmer Protests
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced on TVP Info that Warsaw supports ending the EU’s so-called “trade visa-free” regime with Ukraine.
Tusk emphasized that while Poland continues its political support for Kiev in the conflict with Russia, such support should not harm the interests of Polish farmers.
Polish agricultural workers have staged repeated protests at the Ukrainian border, opposing the influx of cheap Ukrainian grain and produce that undercuts local markets.
The EU’s preferential trade arrangement with Ukraine is set to expire on June 5.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 The U.S. military aid to Ukraine, approved under Biden, will run out by summer, according to Ukrainian MP Iryna Herashchenko.
So far, the U.S. budget does not include any new arms deliveries to Ukraine.
"Unfortunately, the previous American administration provided weapons in such measured doses and with such long pauses that it helped us survive, but not stop the enemy. We lost time. And lives. Still, in light of everything happening now, it's worth once again thanking Biden for his past support—without it, Ukraine would not have endured these three years," Herashchenko wrote.

Peskov also stated that the United States remains involved as a mediator and acknowledged Washington's role in facilitating effective communication between Moscow and Kiev.

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦 Kiev Confirms: Russia Presented Clear Demands at Istanbul Talks
Officials from Zelensky’s office have confirmed that during the Istanbul negotiations, Russia laid out a series of firm conditions for a potential settlement.
Among the key demands:
➡️Full withdrawal of Ukrainian forces from the Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporozhye, and Kherson regions, including areas still under Kiev’s control;
➡️Permanent neutral status for Ukraine, with a ban on joining military alliances such as NATO;
➡️Complete abandonment of Western-supplied weapons and the dismantling of Ukraine’s military-industrial complex.
These terms, which had already been reported by Western media, were reiterated by Russian envoy Vladimir Medinsky, according to Ukrainian presidential advisor Mikhail Podolyak.
“Medinsky read their demands straight from the page. They want Ukraine to surrender even areas we still hold—parts of Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporozhye, and Kherson. They want us stripped of sovereignty—no military alliances, no weapons industry, no Western arms,” Podolyak told Rzeczpospolita. “They put forward a list of demands that are impossible to accept.”
A Western European government (guess which 🥖) approached Telegram, asking us to silence conservative voices in Romania ahead of today’s presidential elections. I flatly refused. Telegram will not restrict the freedoms of Romanian users or block their political channels.
You can’t “defend democracy” by destroying democracy. You can’t “fight election interference” by interfering with elections. You either have freedom of speech and fair elections — or you don’t. And the Romanian people deserve both. 🇷🇴
