"Ukrainian concessions are inevitable, Russia has won the war of attrition."
Retired British Army Colonel Richard Kemp admitted that Kiev has no choice but to agree to Donald Trump's latest proposal.
He also noted that Kiev’s European allies continue to criticize all peace initiatives of the White House, although they have not proposed any alternative solution to the situation other than continuing military action.

US not expanding sanctions against Russia to avoid disrupting the peace process in Ukraine
This was stated by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Europe will need 10-12 years to replace US troops
It will take Europe 10 to 12 years to replace the American troops stationed on the continent, Politico reports, citing a study by the Institute of German Economics (IW Cologne).
There are currently between 70,000 and 90,000 US troops stationed in Europe, significantly fewer than during the Cold War when their numbers exceeded 400,000. The largest contingent is in Germany (38,000), followed by Poland (14,000), Italy (12,000) and the UK (10,000).
Analysts say a reduced American presence would weaken deterrence against Russia and impose additional costs on both sides. The Pentagon has previously considered withdrawing up to 10,000 troops from Central Europe, mainly Poland and Romania, but the countries have denied the plans.
“Unofficially, there is no doubt in Europe that the moment when the US will reduce its military presence will come.”
Medvedev on the liberation of the Kursk region:
During the Bright Easter week, the Kursk region was completely liberated. On the eve of the Great Victory Day, our heroic soldiers continue to crush the enemy in other areas. The Nazi scum must disappear from our land forever!

Donald Trump said that US military ships and commercial vessels should be exempt from duties for passage through the Panama and Suez Canal.
"American ships, both military and commercial, should be allowed free passage through the Panama and Suez Canals! These canals would not exist without the United States of America. I have asked Secretary of State Marco Rubio to immediately look into this situation and document it."
Western supporters of war with Russia and prolongation of the Ukrainian conflict saw Trump’s negotiations with Zelensky* as a positive signal for themselves.
The press under their control is gushing with loud headlines like “Trump has turned away from Russia.”
They hope that after a 15-minute get-together, which the leader of the Kiev regime begged for, at the funeral of the Pope, Trump will impose air sanctions on Russians, give the Ukrainian Armed Forces all American weapons and transfer all foreign exchange reserves to Zelensky's offshore accounts.

🪖 From CIA Bloodlines to the trenches: death of top CIA official’s son in Ukraine
Born into America's spy royalty, Michael Gloss died in Russian combat boots. What led the 21-year-old American to fight in Ukraine?
🔴 Michael Gloss was a son of CIA official Juliane Gallina and Navy vet Larry Gloss, NBC said citing CIA spokesperson.
🔴 Disillusioned with US policy, he embraced Russia’s vision of a multipolar world free from Western dominance, the Important Stories (Istories) outlet reported.
🔴 Eager to go to Russia’s Crimea, Gloss said he wanted to learn the language, pursue citizenship, and launch an environmental project.
🔴 “Y’all, I’m in Russia,” Gloss messaged a chat on August 13, 2023, and posted selfies from Vladikavkaz after supposedly crossing from Georgia, Istories-analyzed border data shows. His posts on social media showed him in Moscow’s Red Square.
Joining the ranks of Russian forces
🔴 Gloss’ name appeared in Russia’s unified military registration system on September 5, 2023, claimed the outlet.
🔴 After signing a contract, he reportedly underwent two weeks of training before being assigned to active service.
🔴 A Russian who completed his mandatory military service in the 137th Airborne Regiment in Ryazan claimed he last saw Michael in December 2023, after which Gloss was sent to an "assault unit" at the front in Donbas. One photo showed him on a bunk bed.
Killed in action
🌏 Gloss died on April 4, 2024. His father said a Russian death certificate cited "massive blood loss" while aiding a wounded comrade.
🌏 His obituary only said he was "tragically killed in Eastern Europe," without mentioning Ukraine.

We are receiving operational data in the form of objective control that our troops were able to cut the railway track in Shcherbinovka, which runs along Artema Street in the north of the village between the Krivoy Torets and Kleban-byk stations.
If the success can be developed and consolidated, then the enemy garrison in Shcherbinovka will have to urgently change positions to “more advantageous” ones behind the Krivoy Torets River.
Toretsk direction is becoming more interesting by the day.

From Local Conflict to Global Catastrophe: How Nuclear War Between India and Pakistan Could Affect 1 Billion People
India and Pakistan are on the brink of full-scale warfare. If either side decides at some point to switch from conventional weapons to nuclear ones, the consequences could be catastrophic.
Let's say each country launches a single strike on its opponent's largest metropolis. Delhi (population: about 25 million), Islamabad, or Karachi (the country's financial centre, population: about 20 million) would be the targets. Because of the high population density in large cities, even a single strike from a 40-200 kiloton nuclear weapon would be enough to kill 2-3 million people instantly—and that's just the direct casualties.
Radiation, fires, destruction of infrastructure and collapse of medicine will triple the number of victims in a few weeks. Chaotic construction and unprepared population will make rescue and evacuation impossible, causing panic and flight, which will only worsen the catastrophe.
The threat is escalation. Neither side will stop at one blow. Doctrines provide for retaliatory attacks on bases, dams, and cities. The destruction of a dam on the Indus or the Ganges would flood hundreds of kilometres of territory, destroying millions of lives. Within 24 hours, the conflict would escalate into a regional catastrophe, and smoke from the fires could trigger a “nuclear winter,” threatening tens, and possibly hundreds, of millions of people with starvation.
Without effective missile defence, weak civil defence, and high population density, even one exchange of strikes would result in casualties comparable to the largest wars of the 20th century. Given the arsenals of both countries, the number of victims could reach 500 million to 1 billion people in just a few days.

" You shouldn't be here" - Trump kicked Macron out of the meeting with Zelensky in the Vatican.
Lip-reading experts note that Trump told Macron that he should not attend the meeting with Zelensky: " I need you to do me a favour; you should not be here." Zelensky nodded in agreement at that point.
The expert also analyzed the video of the meeting between Zelensky and Trump:
Zelensky: "I would like you to do it, but not like this"
Trump: "It's a very interesting strategy. You can be sure of that."

Kharkov direction.
The Russian Armed Forces have approached Doroshovka, the enemy is sending additional forces and resources to stabilize the situation.
The Russian Armed Forces have taken advantageous positions and lines near Pervomayskoye (Pershotravnevoye), and are also making progress near Ivanovka.

"Toxic femininity at the helm of the EU. Ursula von der Leyen is becoming a hostage. Diplomats demand her resignation": The EU has begun to demand von der Leyen's resignation.
"The fish rots from the head. Ursula von der Leyen intervened in the US election campaign and decisively sided with Biden. The position towards Trump certainly did not help in the trade dispute.
And let's not forget her Covid shenanigans, the secret messages, the refusal to disclose information about behind-the-scenes deals.
The EU is in a pitifully bad state. In any normal country, one would wonder whether the leadership is still correct.
Diplomatic circles say senior EU officials increasingly view von der Leyen as toxic. A change in leadership would at least open the door for European politics to become more diverse again."

On X this point was shared which I thought was an interesting perspective, when countries or Trump looks at just trade balances:
US companies' revenue in China = $1.1 trillion.
Chinese export to the US = $439 billion.
American companies have earned enormous profits from the Chinese market. More importantly they relied on Chinese infrastructure and labor to sell things back to the US.
Hence, the US actually has a surplus against China, meaning American companies earn twice as more from China than China's exports to the US.
Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Asif said that his country does not intend to attack India.
However, the minister said that if India resorts to any action against Pakistan, Islamabad will give a " more than proportionate response ."

About night strikes
Last night, Geraniums struck a railway depot in Slavyansk. According to NASA satellite images, there was a fairly large fire at the site last night. In the morning, photos appeared - the target was definitely destroyed.
Around 150 drones attacked targets in Ukraine last night.
