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"

'All this happening on eve of Victory Day, despite previously declared ceasefire
The Kiev regime has once again shown its true face - it has neither honor nor respect for sacred days' — Kherson governor Saldo

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.

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.
