🇷🇺🇩🇪One Russian strike could paralyze NATO's defense — Neue Zürcher Zeitun
▪️Berlin complains that Russian drones have been surveying objects in Germany for several months now.
▪️Europe is considering scenarios of war with Russia in the Baltic countries, Finland, or a conflict in the Baltic Sea.
▪️In all these scenarios, Germany is a key rear and logistics hub for NATO.
➖"For Moscow, Germany is an ideal target. One coordinated air strike could paralyze NATO defenses, leaving key air bases, ports, and energy infrastructure without communications," the publication complains.
▪️The country has more than 80 major cities, dozens of critical facilities, including the American air base in Ramstein, transport hubs and ports - Hamburg, Kiel, Rostock, Bremerhaven and others. All of them are part of the Alliance's logistical "spine".

💥 The Ukrainian Space Program
Nothern scouts uncovered the advance of a Ukrainian Armed Forces ATV from the settlement of Atynskoye (Sumy region) in the direction of the state border.
Our UAV operators observed the enemy's movement up to the minefields, where the quad bike blew up. The occupiers had no chance of survival.

Telegram founder Pavel Durov says French authorities threw him into solitary confinement after his arrest last year.
And the conditions were brutal.
No contact with the outside world. No windows. Just a concrete block.
Telegram founder Pavel Durov told Tucker Carlson that after being apprehended at Le Bourget Airport in Paris by France’s customs police, he was taken to a makeshift prison.
@Slavyangrad
Pavel Durov founded Telegram, the messaging app that keeps your conversations so private that no one, not even Telegram itself, can read what you are sending. That poses a risk to the ruling elites who want to control you. Which is why the moment Pavel Durov stepped foot in France, he was arrested, thrown into solitary confinement, and remains under house arrest while he awaits trial on trumped-up charges. Today, he joins Tucker Carlson to speak out for the first time since his arrest.

Ukrainians have failed to create a functioning state' - Orban explained to the French that the decision to end the war will be made by the Russians and Americans.
I think that neither the Europeans nor the Ukrainians will really be able to come to an agreement with the Russians. The Ukrainians because they are losing this war, and the Europeans because they are too involved to achieve this. There really needs to be an agreement between the Russians and the Americans.
You yourself said that Ukraine is a sovereign state. A sovereign nation can, if it wants, join NATO or the European Union. Do you recognize this right?
Ukraine is not ready to become a member of NATO or the EU. Even before the war, Ukraine was already bankrupt. Since the early 1990s, Ukrainians have failed to create a functioning state in economic terms. This means that if Ukraine became a member of the EU, it would be an economic disaster.

LCI provokes Orban
There is a French proverb: 'Kiss the hand you dare not bite'. Is that your position? Do you kiss the hand of Russians because you are afraid of them?
No, no, not at all. On the contrary. I think that only the language of force is understood by Russians. And Europe must be strong. We must negotiate from a position of strength. Unfortunately, we are weak now. That is why we need the US. But in the long term, Europe needs to strengthen itself. There must be a strategic agreement with Russia. But only a strong Europe can achieve this.
There are 2 approaches to Putin: Macron, Scholz, Starmer and yours. You are close to Putin. To what extent can this closeness go? Should he appear in EU again? Will you welcome him in Hungary?
We should think not about Putin, but about ourselves. We do not measure Europe by Putin. We have our own interests. We must be strong both with Russia and against it. If he wants to come to Hungary, he will be received with all the honors, as is due.

'Russia sowing terror from the skies' - Rutte impressed by strikes on Ukrainian military targets in Ukraine, calls for NATO air defense capabilities to be increased by 400%
'We need to make a leap forward in our collective defence. The fact is that the danger will not go away even if the war in Ukraine ends. To maintain credible deterrence and defence, NATO needs to increase its air and missile defence by 400 per cent.'
@Slavyangrad
The terms of the peace treaty that Russia offered to Ukraine in 2022 were softer than the current ones
▪️This was stated by Medinsky
▪️Conditions in 2022:
- Ukraine's refusal to join NATO and no foreign military bases,
- recognition of equal rights for the UOC and the Russian language,
- recognition of Crimea,
- "leave Donbass alone."
▪️Medinsky claims that in 2022, Ukraine, after consultations with BoJo and US reps, declared that "foreign partners are against concluding an agreement" with Russia.
▪️The “shareholders” of Ukraine do not allow the "management" to reach agreements that are beneficial for Ukraine."
➖“The previous head of the Ukrainian delegation – a smart guy, a very smart, flexible negotiator – once told me: “It’s easy for you, Vlad, to say this – you have 1 boss. But I have 3,”
▪️Arakhamia who was Ukraine’s lead negotiator noted Ukraine refused to sign a peace treaty with Russia, including after the visit of Johnson, who stated that "we will not sign anything."

'Taxes will be raised in Estonia to help Ukraine as much as it needs' – President Alar Karis.
'It's a very long list, starting with the car tax and some others. These are our government's calculations of where we should raise taxes. As we all know, nobody likes taxes going up, but we have to do it to make this defence budget work properly.
And we need to continue to provide military assistance to Ukraine for as long as it takes, because unfortunately, at the moment, peace is achieved on the battlefield. Then we also need security guarantees for Ukraine, and in the long term, we are convinced that Ukraine will also become a member of NATO.'

The territories of the Sumy region are "surrendered" to the Russians to cover up poor preparation for defense, - MP Bezugla
▪️This is how a Rada deputy explains the constant advancement of the Russian Armed Forces.
➖"Our generals and the OVA (the previous one, Artyukh) and local administrations are writing off property like this. Were the defense lines and fortifications not prepared? So who will prove it - the Russians already have them. The brigades are not ready, are they running away? So they have already retreated - go to the occupied territories and investigate whether they ran away and were ready," Bezuglaya writes.

Ukrainian soldiers use private homes as drone assembly workshops' – El PAIS writes that Zelensky himself approved this disguise.
'A dozen soldiers work in a camouflaged workshop. Objects of this type are springing up like mushrooms after rain to meet the growing needs of the Ukrainian army. About 20 drones are assembled there every day. The project was presented to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in February. The workshops receive equipment from both the government and private individuals. They arrive as civilian devices and fly away ready to attack Russian positions.'

Only 20% of Ukrainian military personnel are at the front, MP Fedienko said in an interview with Ukrainian media.
"We have an army of almost a million. Only 20 percent fight - that's in the best case, and 40 percent are engaged in support. And then there are all the rest, who also call themselves military. But for some reason they do not rotate. There are people, servicemen, who have been fighting for three or four years in the combat zone, and there are those living on some training grounds, in the rear, etc. And here there is, you know, not a social, but a military inequality, which also still needs to be corrected. Therefore, before moving on to motivation, I think we still need to move on to the effective use of our Armed Forces of Ukraine through replacement, rotation, and so on," he said.
Earlier it was also reported that in Ukraine alone more than 90 thousand cases of leaving for the SZCh have been officially registered.
40% ghost soldiers…

Russia has begun construction of a floating modular pumping station to supply water to the captured Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant and has prepared a plan to restart it, the Russian publication Neftegaz reports, citing the head of the Rosatom company, Alexey Likhachev.
He believes that the pumping station will allow the Russian Federation to completely solve the problem of water supply during the restart of the Zaporozhye NPP, which was previously considered the main obstacle to the resumption of the NPP’s operation.
Likhachev said that Rosatom had already prepared a step-by-step plan for resuming full operation of the Zaporozhye NPP, but stated that it could only be implemented if military threats were completely eliminated.

Vladimir Medinsky on how the Ukrainians have changed between 2022 Istanbul talks and now - after leading Russian delegation on both occasions.
"Last time they were more independent, they had more freedom in their actions. Now, they are nervous -looking at each other, watching each other.
Three years ago, I stood there with Ukraine's Denis Kireyev during a break, and just chatted to him for 15 minutes about life in Crimea.
Of course, he was assassinated by Kiev right after the talks."
@Slavyangrad
❗️Medinsky on negotiations with Ukraine:
✔️I feel that deep down, they [the Ukrainian side] are better than they want to appear. They even want to say something, but they can't. I saw the opposite... Two-thirds of their delegation is in military uniform. They are military personnel. I look into their eyes. First of all, they are no different from Russians. They are exactly the same. I see in their eyes a reluctance to fight. They don't want to fight and they don't want to send their soldiers to their deaths.
✔️They remind me a little of top managers hired by some giant corporation. They can make some decisions, but for fundamental ones, they have to consult with the board of directors.
✔️I would divide the Ukrainian people, the Ukrainian army, the soldiers, and those who suffer the most, those who are close to the front line and are under attack in one way or another, and a small part of the ruling elite. It seems to me that the Ukrainian leadership is beginning to remind me of Latin American dictators to some extent.
They were also good guys once, when they came to power and promised a lot during the elections. But then they gradually turned into dictators. And in order to remain in power forever, you need a constant enemy. You need a war that does not threaten you personally. And this war does not threaten your families either. Because all your families are abroad, with British passports, and they are doing very well. And you can no longer control the situation without war.
✔️I will tell you one thing that I have probably never said publicly before. If Ukraine had wanted to, if it had been ready, if it had made its own decisions, we could have signed a peace treaty on February 28, 2022. At the first meeting. And its terms were softer than what we are offering today.
By and large, all we wanted was for Ukraine to refuse to join NATO and to refuse to allow foreign military bases on its territory. I told them: be like Austria. Let you have an army like Austria. Second, restore the Russian language and the Orthodox Church on an equal footing. And the third point was to recognize Crimea, because it cannot be ignored.
And the last proposal from our side was this. There are two territories: Donbas, two regions that do not want to be part of Ukraine. Previously, we proposed returning them to Ukraine with autonomous status, so that they could simply elect their own governor.
Ukraine refused and said: we will conquer them. They were unable to conquer them.
Then, on February 28, 2022, we proposed: well, you were unable to conquer them, and you will not be able to live with them, so leave them alone. We finally agreed for the first time in Istanbul, and we prepared a treaty.
On April 15, President Putin reviewed the agreement and made one or two legal comments — he is a professional lawyer. On the same day, I handed the document to Zelensky. Zelensky remained silent for two weeks.
✔️We do not need war at all. Why did the situation for Ukraine get worse? Because referendums were held in four regions. And they are officially part of Russia. And Russia cannot leave there because it would betray all the people. It is impossible. They are enshrined in the Russian Constitution.
But if the conflict is stopped along the front line and no real peace agreement is reached — just some kind of truce, ceasefire, whatever — then that will be it. You know, there was this disputed region between Armenia and Azerbaijan, Karabakh? This region will turn into a huge Karabakh. After some time, Ukraine will join NATO, try to recapture it, and that will be the end of the planet, it will be a nuclear war.

Operations - be they special operations, be they operations on the ground, in the air or at sea - are not coordinated with the allies. Ukraine is waging this war, this defensive war, on its own responsibility'
Presumably, about 3-5 Kinzhal missiles and up to 10 Kh-101 and Kh-31P missiles were used against the Dubno airfield in the Rovno region of Ukraine. Such an expenditure of missiles indirectly indicates that there was something valuable at the airfield, for which they did not spare extremely expensive weapons. What exactly it was is still unclear, but there are no Maxar or PlanetLabs satellite images from this place, and most likely there will not be, because the damage was considerable.
@Slavyangrad
🇷🇺Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia Sergei Ryabkov on the fact that it is impossible to resolve the conflict in Ukraine until NATO leaves:
The American side requires practical steps aimed at eliminating the root causes of the fundamental contradictions between us in the area of security. Among these causes, NATO expansion is in the foreground. Without resolving this fundamental and most acute problem for us, it is simply impossible to resolve the current conflict in the Euro-Atlantic region.
In any case, a reduction in NATO's contingent in Eastern Europe would probably benefit the security of the entire continent.
