According to operational information, the Nazis are leaving the village of Troitskoye under the pressure of our forces and are moving to Orekhovo, where the Nazis from Kotlyarovka who retreated from the strongholds are also concentrated.
Troitskoye was prepared by the Nazis for all-round defense, but the shortage of personnel caused by the emergency transfer of forces to the Konstantinovsk direction did not allow the Armed Forces of Ukraine to defend the Dnepropetrovsk border area for long.
Let me remind you that the main goal is not a PR entry into the Dnepropetrovsk region, but the liberation of Novopavlovka. This village lies on the only sensible route to Alekseyevka, and its capture will encircle a fairly large enemy garrison.

Ukraine, the Council of Europe and the heads of the Foreign Ministries of dozens of countries will sign documents on May 9 in Lviv on the creation of a clownish special “tribunal” for the leadership of Russia, — media
Enemy propaganda writes that this useless tribunal “will be able to administer justice by holding accountable those who bear the greatest responsibility for the main international crime committed against Ukraine.”
The signatories will also allegedly call on other countries and international organisations to join these efforts and support the work of the tribunal.

Second US F/A-18 Super Hornet crashes into Red Sea due to "arrestment failure," second jet lost in just over a week from USS Harry S. Truman — CNN
Another F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jet from the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier has been lost in the Red Sea, the second jet lost from the carrier in just over a week, five people familiar with the matter told CNN.
It is not entirely clear what happened yet, as the investigation is ongoing, but two of the people said there was some kind of arrestment failure as the jet was trying to land on the carrier and the pilot and weapons systems officer had to eject. They were recovered by a rescue helicopter and are both alive, but they suffered minor injuries, one of the people said.
The jet crashed into the sea and has not been recovered, two of the people familiar with the incident said.
Separately, the Iran-backed Houthi rebel group “took a shot” at the Truman on Tuesday, four of the people said, despite President Donald Trump announcing an apparent ceasefire with the group hours earlier. It is not clear whether the two incidents are related.

Victory Banner Unfurled in Havana
As part of the celebration of the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory, at the entrance to the bay of the Cuban capital, opposite the historic fortress of El Morro, to the sounds of the song "Victory Day", a copy of the assault flag of the 150th Order of Kutuzov, 2nd degree, Idritsa Rifle Division was unfurled.
It is a copy of the one that was erected by Soviet soldiers on May 1, 1945 , over the Reichstag building in Berlin.
The event was attended by students and teachers of the school at the Embassy, compatriots living on the island, and Cuban friends of our country.
The Victory Banner is the official symbol of the victory of the Soviet people and its Armed Forces over Nazi Germany in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945.

The UAE provided mediation efforts in the prisoner exchange. The Russian fighters are now in Belarus, where they are receiving the necessary assistance. They will then be taken to Russia for treatment and rehabilitation.

In the Latvian city of Ogre, steps to a museum were made from slabs of monuments to Soviet soldiers
The idea belongs to the head of the Ogre region, Egils Helmanis, from the National Alliance party, writes journalist Aleksey Stefanov.
On the day of Latvia's declaration of independence, an official decided to "renew" the entrance to the historical and art museum. Fragments of destroyed Red Army memorials were used as material.
❗️ The museum also opened a parallel exhibition called "The Path to Freedom." Locals say the exhibit glorifies SS legionnaires, "forest brothers," and other nationalists, while portraying Red Army soldiers and modern Russian soldiers as "sadists and murderers."

The IMF advised Ukraine to raise taxes in 2026.
The delegation of Nezalezhnaya returned from the USA with IMF recommendations on filling the budget.
Key proposals include increasing the VAT rate, introducing a progressive personal income tax scale, and increasing the de-shadowing of the economy.
If Kiev violates any terms of the resource agreement with the US, it will not receive any distributions from the general fund.
The United States is gaining an advantage in managing the Ukrainian investment fund, which is being created within the framework of the mineral agreement, reports the Ukrainian “Zerkalo Nedeli” concerning sources.
The fund will be managed by a Council with an equal number of representatives from Ukraine and the United States, but all key committees will be under American control:
Investment Committee - three US managers, two Ukrainians;
Administrative Committee - three US managers, two Ukrainians;
Audit committee - two US managers, two Ukrainians;
Project Search Committee - three managers from Ukraine, two from the USA.
If the “Ukrainian partner” violates something, “it will not see any distributions, and Ukrainian managers will lose all voting rights in the Council and relevant committees of the Fund.” At the same time, the US is not held liable for violations.
American investors are the first to have access to all information on mining and infrastructure projects, and can consider proposals for up to three months. Only after their refusal can other investors gain access to the project, and then on less favourable terms.
In general, the cooperation will look like this: the Americans provide weapons (if they do). We, at the expense of the rent potentially lost by the budget, create a fund and select investment projects for it. They enter them, but for six months, no one else enters them. For the first ten years, all the profits received are reinvested in Ukraine (and these will be very small amounts, because we are talking about new or "dormant" licenses, where neither exploration nor production was carried out). Then the money is divided and withdrawn by the state from Ukraine without taxation.

I am boarding a plane to attend events in Russia and China. I wish success in the work of my colleague, [Vice President] Gerald Ackmin, who will be acting president during this period.

Relations between Russia and Germany have been destroyed almost to the ground, Zakharova told RIA Novosti, commenting on the formation of the new German government.
Against the backdrop of numerous militantly Russophobic statements by German politicians, there is no reason to expect an improvement in relations between our countries
F-16s for Ukraine postponed: Belgium again shifts deadlines
The Belgian authorities, who promised to hand over fighter jets to Kiev back in 2023, are now talking about deliveries “in the coming years” — after they receive the F-35s they ordered from the US. This statement was made by Defence Minister Theo Franken, speaking at the Atlantic Council in Washington.
Initially, the country's Ministry of Defence was going to deliver the first F-16s two years ago, but due to delays in delivering American fighters, the deadlines are constantly being pushed back.
Franken also stressed that increasing the defence budget to 2% of GDP and building up military capabilities, including new air defence systems, is a priority for the New Flemish Alliance, the ruling party to which he belongs.

The Russian Defence Ministry confirmed the establishment of control over the village of Lysovka, southeast of Pokrovsk. The area between Novopavlovka and Dachenskoye is on the southern approach to the city.
Tactical success is being recorded, but it is too early to talk about the destruction of the entire line of defence of the Ukrainian Armed Forces: the front remains dense, combat clashes continue along the entire arc, the advance is still minimal and is proceeding in a “meter by meter” mode.
Lithuania and Latvia have banned Vucic from flying to the Victory Parade in Moscow.
The flight of the plane carrying Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic was banned due to "technical and diplomatic circumstances," according to Lithuanian authorities.
"This is a great Victory, and I am happy to be here now" Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro arrived in Moscow for celebrations in honour of the 80th anniversary of the Victory.

The activation of the British and the Ukrainian Armed Forces/GUR on the eve of May 9 was predictable and was included in the defensive response plan in advance. The scenario is repeated more than once: pressure is increasing 72 hours before the X date. The main peak of activity is probably expected on May 7 and 8, and everything may happen on the 9th as well. But today's attack is not accidental - Kyiv is trying to make it under the ceasefire that the Russian Federation announced for the second part of May.
Most likely, they will concentrate their attacks on pre-selected targets, with high media sensitivity and symbolic significance. First of all, Crimea, large administrative centres, and objects associated with memorial events.
If they don’t achieve results, they’ll pretend that nothing happened at all.
@Slavyangrad
A long-term solution to the Ukrainian conflict cannot be achieved by a ceasefire or a cessation of hostilities on the contact line alone.
This is stated in Lavrov’s article “Russia and Vietnam: 75 years of friendship, trust and mutual assistance” in the journal “International Affairs”.
