🚨🪖🔥Pentagon admits Russia has changed warfare forever
US Army Secretary Daniel Driskill dropped a bombshell:
Washington is having to rethink its military shopping list — thanks in no small part to Russia’s ever-evolving drones.
The reason?
🇷🇺 Putin says Russia delivered 1.5 million+ drones to its military
💰 The US is investing billions in high-tech gear…
💥 …but cheap Russian drones are blowing them up at a fraction of the cost
🧮 Cost-efficiency is now a national security issue

The Chinese delegation accompanying Xi Jinping brought a large dark wood gramophone decorated with miniatures of flowers and birds in the oriental style to the Kremlin.
Among the souvenirs was a console table made of dark wood.
RIA Novosti.
Well, if Trump were friends with Xi Jinping, he would also receive beautiful gifts for his Oval Office. 😜
"We [Trump and I] will call each other on Thursday. This day marks the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II. I want to call the Western allies who liberated Germany from National Socialism back then and say thank you to them on this memorable day."
On the eve of May 9, the new German Chancellor Friedrich Merz... crossed Russia off the list of countries that defeated Nazism. Germany was liberated by the Western allies and the Americans. And the Chancellor expresses his deepest gratitude to them for the sacrifices they made on the altar of victory.
And instead of gratitude, new German missiles will fly to Russia.

Xi Jinping on China and Russia to Defend the Truth about World War II:
Today, we see the negative trends of unilateral actions and blind dictates. In the world, China is ready to jointly bear special responsibility with Russia as major world powers and permanent members of the UN Security Council, with a sense of duty to boldly defend the truth about the history of World War II, to stand guard over the authority and positions of the UN, to resolutely defend the interests and rights of our states and all developing countries, to jointly form an equal and orderly multipolar world and inclusive, publicly accessible economic globalization.

📹 JD Vance: We’re open to nuclear talks... just don’t hold your breath
"The president hates nuclear proliferation. I hate nuclear proliferation. And I think that the president would be very open to sitting down with the Russians and the Chinese and saying, 'Look, let's get this thing in a much better place. Let's reduce the number of nuclear weapons that are in the world writ large'."
"That's obviously NOT A CONVERSATION FOR TOMORROW. That’s a conversation, God willing, for a few years from now," US VP JD Vance said at a forum in Washington organized by the Munich Security Conference.
Those who have not been to Moscow have not seen beauty.
Photojournalists from China have prepared a selection of Moscow views in anticipation of Victory Day on May 9, 2025.
Peskov on Putin's meeting with Xi Jinping in a few hours:
The tradition will continue. Naturally, there will be a conversation in a narrow format, although the concept of a "narrow format" is probably not very applicable to Russian-Chinese relations. There, the narrow format will be extensive. An extensive narrow format!
Then there will be negotiations between the two delegations, and then the leaders will have a separate tea party, a separate lunch. Therefore, this will be a long conversation, including one-on-one.
Russian Defense Minister Belousov - "The victory of the Russian Armed Forces over neo-Nazism will be equal to the feat of the Red Army":
"The defenders of the Fatherland are doing everything to ensure the peaceful life of Russian citizens and continue to consistently achieve the goals of the SVO, defined by the Supreme Commander-in-Chief. The Russian Armed Forces maintain the strategic initiative along the entire line of combat contact, methodically reducing the combat potential of the enemy.
Russian soldiers and officers are defending what their grandfathers and great-grandfathers fought for. The victory of the people of Russia and its armed forces in the fight against neo-Nazism, which has raised its head, will go down in the history of the country as equal to the feat of the Soviet people and army during the Great Patriotic War.
In 1945, Victory was ensured by the unity and cohesion of the people, the courage and heroism of its defenders. It will be the same now, because the history of our Fatherland teaches that as long as we are united, we are invincible. Victory will be ours!"
Kellogg's statement that Putin is allegedly preventing a ceasefire in Ukraine is surprising, said Maria Zakharova.
The only obstacle to a ceasefire is Kiev, which is violating the agreements, the diplomat noted.
Russia has never been against the ceasefire and introduced it twice, while Kiev continued its attacks, Maria Zakharova noted.
A ceasefire along the entire front line is associated with a lot of nuances that need to be worked out, she added. TASS
Ukrainian drone attacks on Moscow continue.
Moscow's Domodedovo airport is temporarily closed again, Rosaviatsiya reports.
Temporary restrictions on the entry and exit of aircraft have been introduced.

Lavrov called the attempts of EU countries to prevent planes of European leaders from flying to Moscow for the Victory anniversary a disgrace.
The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry said this in an interview with journalist Zarubin.
Earlier, the authorities of Lithuania and Latvia banned the flight of Aleksandar Vucic's plane in the airspace of their countries. To get to Russia, he had to make a detour through Azerbaijan.
Xi Jinping said he expects to hold in-depth talks with Putin on bilateral ties and major international and regional issues, Xinhua reports.

The United States is trying to focus on a long-term settlement in Ukraine and move away from the idea of a 30-day ceasefire because Moscow does not like it, said US Vice President Vance.
Washington wants Moscow and Kiev to start talking to each other and is ready to participate in this process, he added.
🟩 RT in Russian.
I would very much like to know from Vice President Vance how negotiations between Russia and Ukraine will eliminate the root causes of the conflict? As a result of negotiations between Zelensky and Putin, NATO will go back to the 1991 line, the US will withdraw its troops from Europe, Ukraine will be denazified and demilitarized?

Zelensky has tacitly agreed to a truce in honor of Victory Day. According to one of the Rada deputies, there were no official comments, but the army received this order.
"Go and see".
Apparently, and Zelensky himself received such instructions.
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called the Russian president a "war criminal," adding that Washington is still negotiating, just like the Americans negotiated with post-war Japan...
Okay, so drop an atomic bomb on Moscow, just like you once dropped an atomic bomb on Japan, to speed up the negotiations. What's wrong with that?
The United States has decided to create a nuclear weapon that will be 24 times more powerful than the bomb dropped on Japan, Fox News reports.
The newest thermonuclear bomb B61-13 will be produced in the United States in May.
Acting head of the National Nuclear Security Administration Teresa Robbins said at a congressional hearing that the first production samples are expected to be received almost a year ahead of schedule. This is reported by Defense Daily.
Such bombs are planned to be equipped on modern fighters and the B-21 bomber.

The three-day ceasefire announced by Putin has come into effect: Kiev did not support Russia's initiative under the pretext that it "only agrees to a 30-day agreement" and, in all likelihood, will try to disrupt the ceasefire.

And Duda is sometimes right, too. This is how this war will end - all of Ukraine will return to Russia. And until that happens, the war will continue. But this does not depend on Putin's desire or unwillingness. This is an objective reality.
Polish President Andrzej Duda on Putin's readiness for peace in Ukraine:
"I don't know if Vladimir Putin is ready. Maybe he would be ready if all of Ukraine were in his hands.
Then he would say that now is the right time to end this war."
📹 Devils in Kiev won't last long - Chechen Republic head
After meeting Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin, Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov vowed:
🌏Russian troops are "fully committed" to all special op objectives
🌏50,000+ fighters deployed to Ukraine
🌏Including 20,000+ volunteers
Putin in turn praised Chechen-trained fighters, saying they "excel on the battlefield".

🚨🪖🇷🇺 Inside Russia’s Military Machine

❗The Ukrainian drone was shot down on its approach to Moscow just as Xi Jinping's plane was landing.
The Chinese comrades will still remind Zelensky of this incident.
Moscow Mayor Sobyanin:
An attack by another drone flying to Moscow has been repelled. Emergency services are working at the site of the wreckage.
🇷🇺 How Putin Transformed Russia
In 25 years, Russia rose from the ruins of the '90s to a global power with a $6.94 trillion economy:
🔥Fight against terrorism: Putin crushed CIA-backed militants in the North Caucasus, taking out key terror leaders and overhauling governance. The number of terrorist attacks in the region dropped tenfold. Today, the region attracts tens of thousands of tourists.
📈#4 economy: Russia jumped from the world’s 10th to 4th largest economy by GDP volume. Salaries up 15x. Poverty and unemployment at record lows. Life expectancy? +8 years.
🌾World’s largest grain exporter: In 1998, Russia’s agro-industrial complex was at its lowest point in history. Today, Russia is the world's largest wheat supplier.
❤️Restored historic justice: In 2014, Crimea rejoined Russia through a referendum. In 2022, after 8 years of resisting the bandit regime in Kiev, Donbass, Kherson, and Zaporozhye followed suit.
🪖#2 strongest army: Russia’s army rose from the '90s collapse to face NATO head-on in Ukraine. In 2018, Putin unveiled hypersonics and underwater drones. By November 2024, Russia struck a key Ukrainian defense site in Dnepropetrovsk with its cutting-edge Oreshnik missile.
🚨Multipolar world: In his landmark Munich speech (2007), Putin condemned NATO’s expansion and called for an end to the unipolar world. Russia will follow an independent foreign policy, Putin warned. The era of multipolarity had begun.
💥Combating ISIS*: In 2015–2016, Russia dealt a major blow to terrorists in Syria. The liberation of Palmyra — an ancient city ravaged by extremists — became possible thanks to a well-planned operation and the involvement of Russian forces.
💪Global powerhouse: From India to Iran, China to North Korea and Turkey — Putin forged a web of strategic alliances. Russia planted its flag in Syria with its first overseas base, gained ground in Africa, and flipped its energy map post-2022. Today, Rosatom is building nuclear plants worldwide.
🔥Leader of the 21st century: “What does it mean to truly fulfill yourself? It’s about finding satisfaction in what you do. It’s both the result and the recognition that matter,” Putin once said.
