German Defense Minister Pistorius on Germany's support for Ukraine even if the US stops:
[Germany has always said: We will support Ukraine as long as it takes. Is it time for Germany to say: "Sorry, but we can't go on like this"?]
I repeat again and again: If Ukraine falls, if Putin wins this war - in the sense that he occupies all of Ukraine or a significant part of it - this will be a major threat to NATO territory and, by the way, to neighboring countries such as Moldova and Georgia. Therefore, we must all be clear: this is not just about solidarity with Ukraine, but also about our own security and peace in Europe.
[However, I will emphasize once again: even if the US can no longer provide support, including in the area of military technology and satellite data - will we still continue to help?]
This is clearly stated in our coalition agreement: we will continue to support. And I know that other European partners hold the same position.
Kim Jong-un promised that the DPRK army will continue to help Russia.
Korean Central Telegraph Agency:
"Pyongyang will continue to consistently and fully support the sacred cause of the army and people of Russia, and will always remain committed to any actions based on the spirit of the interstate treaty between the DPRK and the Russian Federation.
The Central Military Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea expresses confidence that the invincible military partnership between the two countries, confirmed by blood in the fire of war, will continue to make a great contribution to the expansion and development of Korean-Russian relations.
The decision to involve DPRK units in the liberation of the Kursk region was made by the country's leader Kim Jong-un. On his order, Article 4 of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Treaty between the Russian Federation and the DPRK was put into effect."
Lavrov spoke with US Secretary of State Rubio by phone:
"The main focus was on the Ukrainian crisis. In the follow-up to Putin's conversation with Witkoff on April 25, they emphasized the importance of consolidating the emerging prerequisites for starting negotiations in order to agree on a reliable path to long-term sustainable peace.
It was agreed to continue contacts at all levels."
Wonderful, and at the same time Trump promised to give Zelensky more weapons.
Russian Ministry of Defense:
From 20:50 Moscow time on April 27 to 04:35 Moscow time on April 28, air defense alert systems intercepted and destroyed 115 Ukrainian aircraft-type unmanned aerial vehicles:
▪️ 102 UAVs over the territory of the Bryansk region,
▪️ nine UAVs over the territory of the Republic of Crimea,
▪️ two UAVs over the territory of the Kursk region,
▪️ one UAV over the territory of the Belgorod region,
▪️ one UAV over the Black Sea.
✨In the Bryansk region, the governor reported a civilian killed and wounded, as well as damage on the ground

🇺🇸🇰🇵 Team Trump explores rapprochement options with North Korea – report
The White House is holding discussions and consulting outside experts to consider various diplomatic options regarding the DPRK, Axios reports.
🔸The Swedish ambassador, who de-facto represents US interests in North Korea due to the absence of official diplomatic ties between Washington and Pyongyang, visited American soil last week for consultations.
🔸Since the last Trump-Kim meeting in 2019, North Korea is believed to have significantly boosted its nuclear capabilities.
🔸However, the de-nuclearization of the Korean Peninsula would be a non-starter for Trump, as nuclear status is enshrined in North Korea’s constitution, according to undisclosed US officials.

'I have been emphasizing readiness to seek BALANCE of interests'
Lavrov needs infinite patience to deal with CBS’s Brennan.
She says Russia hasn’t offered any concessions for ceasefire.
'My brief answer is you are wrong'.
#Russia #Ukraine RT News.
Russia is ready to make concessions. As Donald Trump correctly explained, Russia refused to take all of Ukraine. This is indeed a very big concession. But the question arises - will Ukraine demilitarize and denazify itself? Or will Russia refuse to achieve the goals of SMO? I just asked.

Death toll from Bandar Abbas port blast in southern Iran rises to 25, over 1,100 injured — media
The disaster was reportedly caused by the detonation of sodium perchlorate, a key component of solid rocket fuel. Initially, local authorities linked the incident to a fuel tank fire.
The shock wave was so strong that it was heard 20 km away on Qeshm Island, and windows were blown out within a radius of several kilometers.
Iranian authorities continue to investigate the incident, emphasizing that the explosion did not affect the region's oil infrastructure.

Trump on meeting Zelensky at the Pope's funeral:
"We had a good meeting, it was a nice meeting, it was a great meeting. But he was very, you know, passionate, he wants to do something good for his country, I think he's doing a good job and he's working hard. We'll see what happens, it's a great job, a great idea. He told me he needs more weapons, but he's just been saying that for 3 years now. He needs more weapons, and we'll see what happens."
Donald, our dear Trump, don't you know what will happen? I'll tell you that the only thing that can happen from the war between the US and Russia that you're fomenting is a global nuclear war. @realDonaldTrump
Trump - to the question of what he wants from Putin:
"I want him to stop shooting, sit down and sign a deal. We have all the terms of the deal. I would like to sign it, get it over with and just get back to life."
It is the height of cynicism to fight Russia and at the same time accuse Russia of fighting and not surrendering. Donald, America will have to surrender, Russia is winning in Ukraine. @realDonaldTrump

📰🤔 Western media debunks WEST’S ‘CLOUD OF LIES’ about Ukraine and 'Russian threat.' Wait, what?
Daily Mail columnist Peter Hitchens has scolded the West for spreading “propaganda rubbish about an invented Russian menace.”
Hitchens said that it was NATO’s eastward expansion that triggered the Ukrainian conflict.
He also reproached the UK government for NEVER explaining why “crime-blighted, rubbish-strewn and decrepit” Britain had to get involved in Ukraine.

Former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kuleba:
"Ukraine is no closer to real negotiations to end the war - we are at the same point as last fall."
I hope this does not surprise you? The fact is that there are no common points in the negotiations between Russia and Ukraine. What suits Russia does not suit Ukraine. And vice versa, what suits Ukraine does not suit Russia. Even if some kind of deal is concluded between them, it will not stop the war. If the deal is not concluded, then Trump promises to "leave the peace process." The question is, will the United States leave the war with Russia after this? If so, then Russia will have a chance to return Ukraine to its ranks. If the United States does not leave the war with Russia in Ukraine, this will mean an escalation of the war. I cannot tell you which option is more likely.

A ceasefire is closer than ever, but it will not be a victory for Ukraine — The Telegraph
▪️At this point, Ukraine will inevitably have to make concessions. Russia clearly has the advantage in a protracted campaign of attrition.
▪️The West is short of ammunition. For decades, it has shown no will to defend even its own citizens, let alone "faraway Ukraine".
▪️Ukraine will not be able to stand up to Russia alone.
➖"There seems to be no choice but to negotiate on the basis of Trump's latest peace proposals or something similar. This includes effectively ceding a significant amount of territory that Ukraine has already lost to the Russian onslaught," the publication concludes.
▪️If Zelensky agrees to a ceasefire and the loss of huge swathes of territory, it is difficult to imagine that he will remain president for long.
▪️The future of Ukraine and the entire West looks very bleak. NATO has shown itself to be a "paper tiger".
"RVvoenkor".
I can't say anything about the future of the entire West, but Ukraine has a peaceful future only as part of Russia.

"New Hope at the Pope's Funeral": The main photo from the farewell ceremony with the Pope is on all Western covers.
Our hopes are that Zelensky and Ukraine in general are incapable of reaching an agreement. And therefore, the US will be forced to withdraw from the "peace process" and from the war with Russia. This will save the world from a nuclear war, and Russia will save Ukraine from the Nazis and bring it home.
🗣Russia’s unconditional talks offer exposes Zelensky’s diplomatic machinations — former Pentagon analyst
💬 “The unconditional nature offered by Russia is smart, and it places the onus on Zelensky to come forward similarly — but because Zelensky cannot do this and remain in power, he increasingly appears weak and not interested in peace. If this continues, US aid to Ukraine will dry up completely, including intelligence support — and Zelensky understands this, but politically he is in a vise. Because not to engage directly in the face of an unconditional peace talk is to sabotage the chance of peace for Ukraine” Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski, retired US Air Force, said.
💬 “The Ukrainian conditions are unrealistic given the balance of power between Russia and the NATO alliance over the case of Ukraine. But to save face among the remaining few Ukrainians who trust Zelensky and Zelensky’s own government backers who are driven by emotion rather than reality, to talk peace unconditionally is in fact very similar to an unconditional surrender,” Kwiatkowski added.
Trump promises everyone everything they ask of him?
Trump promised the Estonian president not to withdraw from the Ukraine talks
➖"I asked how the peace process was going and asked him to do everything to ensure that the process continued, so that the US did not withdraw [from the role of mediator]. He promised to do this and said that we are quite close to a solution," the Estonian president says.
