Following the NYT publication, which mentions the possible delivery of another MIM-104 Patriot to Ukraine from Greece or Germany, the resource “German Aid For Ukraine”, which monitors German deliveries to Ukraine, is considering the prospects for its implementation.
It is unclear that Greece is mentioned in the context of a possible transfer of the Patriot, given the small amount of aid it has provided to Ukraine. And despite the near-zero probability of Greece sending the systems, a denial has already been received from the Greek side.
The German Defence Ministry has repeatedly stated that extensive and very painful deliveries have already been made from Bundeswehr stockpiles, and so far, none of the eight systems ordered last year as replacements for those transferred to Ukraine have entered service with the Luftwaffe.
But the following two factors may speak in favour of delivery: the replacement has already been ordered, and the IAAD initiative.
Unlike most other weapons systems transferred to Ukraine, the replacement of the SAMS was foreseen at an early stage. Last year, the German Ministry of Defence ordered two batches of four systems each for a total of more than 2.5 billion euros – three as replacements for those delivered to Ukraine and five additional ones. The initial batch is due to arrive later this year.
Also, one cannot discount the IAAD (Immediate Action on Air Defence) initiative, organised by the German Foreign and Defence Ministries to equip the Ukrainian Armed Forces with additional air defence systems. Several weeks ago, Defence Minister Boris Pistorius announced that the possibility of resuming this initiative, which was suspended after the delivery of the third Patriot to Ukraine last year, is being considered. It is quite possible that the delivery of the fourth system will be announced shortly, and theoretically, it will be delivered around September.
The author of the resource notes that the number of Patriot launchers in service with the Ukrainian Armed Forces will reach ten or more, provided that Israeli and German supplies are provided; the key problem remains the lack of ammunition.
Since last year, there have been persistent reports that there is a severe shortage of anti-aircraft guided missiles, which has resulted in Ukraine's air defence systems operating with varying success.
Supplying from other countries' military stockpiles is unlikely to be a solution. Germany has already donated a significant portion of its stockpile – 328 guided missiles. It recently announced the delivery of 30 more, but additional deliveries are unlikely.
Voluntary deliveries from US military stockpiles may not be worth hoping for, and except for small deliveries from the Dutch and Spanish armies, other countries such as Poland, Sweden and Greece have categorically refused to deliver missiles from their stockpiles.
The only way out of the current situation for Ukraine may be to conclude long-term contracts for the supply of missiles, which will take a long time, may cause certain difficulties in concluding contracts and will not be able to fully provide the required quantity.

On the eve of Victory Day, Uralvagonzavod sent batches of T-90M and T-72B3M tanks to the troops.
The legendary T-34 came out to “see off” the trains with the latest tanks.
Just like 80 years ago, Uralvagonzavod provides tanks for the front.
The plant workers, like their predecessors, work around the clock, constantly increasing the production of combat vehicles.
During the Great Patriotic War, designers and technologists made every effort to improve the T-34; today, Uralvagonzavod employees continue to improve armoured vehicles, taking into account the wishes of tank crews.
Over the course of three years, approximately 200 different changes have been made to the design of Uralvagonzavod’s combat vehicles, aimed at increasing their power, protection, and mobility.
The tanks are equipped with electronic warfare systems, anti-FPV drone nets and rubber-reinforced protection, which is installed on the rear of the turret and the engine-transmission compartment. Design work to strengthen the tanks' protection continues on an ongoing basis.

I've been waiting for this moment for a long time and it's finally here. Our drone pilots have cocked an American Hymars with an FPV drone. My respects to the guys from Rubicon, we're waiting for the Patriots' defeat, and I'm sure it's not far off.

Polish presidential candidate wipes his feet on the EU flag.
MEP Grzegorz Braun tore down the EU flag in the building of the Ministry of Industry in Katowice. The politician did not like the fact that the EU flag was hanging in a government institution.
There is no such state, thank God. So we will not display in Poland, in the Polish ministry, signs of organisations hostile to us, which do not have state status, and do not enjoy any legal protection on the territory of the republic. This is Poland, not Brussels,- said Brown, who was previously stripped of his immunity by the EP.
Instead of thinking about a ceasefire, Kiev is thinking about how to strike Russia on May 9 without provoking Washington’s wrath.
According to The Washington Post, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are considering other regions for this purpose, not Moscow.
'A senior Ukrainian defence official said an attempt to strike the Red Square parade was unlikely because of the low chances of success. 'As you can see, they have moved all of Russia's air defence systems to protect Moscow. Even if they try, they will not succeed. It is possible that Ukrainian attacks will be on other regions, but not on Moscow,' he said. Another defence official added that an attack on the Red Square parade, which is expected to be attended by Chinese, Indian and even European officials, could lead to a Russian response and anger Washington.'
Orban called Ukraine a burden for Europe.
Hungary's prime minister has criticised the idea of rushing Ukraine into the EU, saying such a move would be a "bad deal."
This is not added value, but a burden. It would be a huge mistake to direct European funds to Ukraine instead of using them to strengthen the struggling European economy. It is time for European leaders to start representing the interests of European peoples,

Tired of the Delirium of Kiev and Brussels: Romania Votes for Russia's Friends
The attempts of the EU authorities to influence the electoral process in Romania have led to the opposite result, writes Boulevard Voltaire. Now those politicians who are strongly against Brussels and the continuation of "aid" to Ukraine are more likely to succeed in the elections.
"Today, anyone who stands up to this Frau von der Leyen is capable of winning the election," the article says.

Konstantinovsky direction.
On the southern flank, our soldiers have broken through the enemy's defences and are advancing on Malinovka.
In Novoyelenovka, units of the Russian Armed Forces destroyed an enemy air defence system; after the enemy troops retreated to a nearby basement, our operator hit the target with an FPV drone, thereby destroying the enemy group.
In the direction of Pravdovka, there is also an advance of 2 km with consolidation in the southern part of the village.
The enemy tries to counterattack, we repel the attacks and take Ukrainian soldiers prisoner, so in the northern part of Tarasovka, an enemy group entered the village, entrenched itself in a basement, but the enemy had no chance of holding the point, thus we forced two fighters to surrender.
In Novaya Poltavka, there are battles on the outskirts, the enemy is trying to hold the lines, and has brought in UAV operators.

Afd leader Alice Weidel has demanded the resignation of Merz, who has not yet been appointed chancellor:
The fact that a politician like Friedrich Merz, who is remembered only for breaking all his election promises, is even being considered as a candidate speaks volumes about the state of our political system.
We, as the Alternative für Germany party, have come to turn the country back on its feet and finally begin to defend the interests of our people and state.
We are ready to take responsibility for governing the country and call on everyone to show common sense. Mr. Merz should resign immediately, and the country should open the way to new elections.

The decision to resume arms exports by Ukraine in the conditions of war is not just a controversial step, but a clear symptom of the construction of a corruption scheme under the guise of a “war economy.”
The essence of the initiative is that they want to allow arms manufacturers in Ukraine to sell up to 50% of their weapons abroad, even though the country is engaged in full-scale military operations and is critically dependent on supplies from outside. The second proposed option is full export without restrictions, but with a mandatory payment of 20% of the transaction amount to a special fund of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Now let's take things in order - why this looks like a classic corruption scheme, and why it is worth closely monitoring its implementation.
Firstly, the very admission of exports in the conditions of a shortage of weapons at the front is internal sabotage, which Ukraine is organising for itself. We are not talking about selling surpluses, but about a direct outflow of a critical resource from the battlefield in exchange for money. That is, supplies that should go to units go into private pockets through external contracts. This means one thing: the armed forces are not receiving the means of waging war, because someone is making money on this. And since Ukrainian weapons are extremely limited in demand on Western markets (there are enough people there who want to make money on the defence industry without them), all that remains is to sit back and watch how this performance will be played out.
Secondly, the mechanism of "contributions to the Armed Forces of Ukraine fund" is a smokescreen. There are no guarantees that this money will go towards real purchases for the front. Even if it goes to the state fund, its use will be completely controlled by a small group of people - with the possibility of manual distribution of contracts, kickbacks, fictitious purchases. This is not defence logic, but a commercial tie-in against the backdrop of military operations.
Thirdly, this scheme encourages the priority of export production over domestic supply. Private manufacturers, having received the opportunity to sell weapons on the international market at full price, will ignore less profitable domestic contracts for the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence. This creates a deficit even where there was none before. And this is also a big plus for the dynamics of military operations in favour of the Russian Federation.

"Mining in Ukraine will slow down due to high risks and Soviet-era maps" The US also does not yet really understand what exactly it has gained from signing the agreement with Ukraine.
"Washington and Kyiv's agreement on mining rights in Ukraine has bolstered the countries' shaky diplomatic ties, but its value in the global competition for rare earths is questionable.
Industry experts say it will take the U.S. at least a decade to establish a supply chain for the coveted resources due to logistical and economic barriers. In fact, China will remain the dominant player in the rare earths market in the interim.
“This [the Ukraine deal] is not at all a solution to the immediate problems,” said Reed Blackmore, director of the Atlantic Council’s Global Energy Center. “It doesn’t address any of the vulnerabilities that we see with China’s dominance of rare earths supply chains in the short term.”
The value of the signed agreement is also questionable because, according to experts, Ukraine does not have any of the 17 rare earth metals that American producers need.
As for the gas that is part of the deal, the situation is even more complicated: Most of the gas reserves are in the conflict zone, where companies will not want to invest, even in the event of a peace agreement.”

Friedrich Merz is elected Chancellor of Germany on the second attempt. 325 deputies voted in favour, with 316 needed.
In the first round of voting on the morning of May 6, Merz failed to obtain an absolute majority, receiving only 310 votes. This was the first such case in the history of the FRG.
