"US President Donald Trump has asked the President of Turkey to help end the war in Ukraine.
According to those close to the Turkish leader, he was offered the role of mediator and he accepted it. Ankara has made it clear to the US administration that it is ready to provide the necessary support to establish peace and stability in the region.
At the same time, leaders of other countries in the region are also turning to Erdogan, hoping to convey their position on various issues to Washington: according to them, Erdogan is the only Muslim leader who can influence the US President"

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."

'All this happening on eve of Victory Day, despite previously declared ceasefire

The ceasefire declared by Russia has not affected the actions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces
The enemy does not abandon its attempts to capture Tyotkino in the Kursk region.
As reported by Mash, the third attempt to break through began with preliminary artillery preparation and bombardment from the Ukrainian side. The enemy, 40-50 strong, is moving on foot from the Ryzhevsky forest to take Chapayev Street, but to no avail. Our aviation has worked on the advancing forces, and a column of equipment has also been destroyed. According to the military, the Ukrainians are literally "going towards the machine gun" in Tyotkino.
In addition, the Ukrainians are trying to advance in the area of the village of Novy Put - there they deployed a tank, an engineering vehicle for obstacle clearance, and three armored fighting vehicles. As in Tyotkino, the Russian Armed Forces successfully destroyed a column of land vehicles.
🚨🪖🔥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.

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.
