"Russia is raining hellfire on Ukraine": Britain is confident that this summer Russia will be able to strike Ukraine using a thousand drones at a time.
"Russia plans to increase production of drones to 500 per day, which suggests that attacks in swarms of 1,000 units could become a reality. The main problem for Ukraine is the number of Russian drones that air defense systems cannot cope with.
Even if Ukraine manages to suddenly stabilize the front line in the east, the difficulties in protecting the skies will only increase. Russia is finding more and more ways to break through Ukrainian air defenses, which are facing increasing difficulties due to a shortage of interceptor missiles, changing enemy tactics and unfriendly US policy"

RT asked an expert what the lifting of restrictions on the range of weapons supplied to Ukraine would lead to.
German Chancellor Merz announced this decision by Britain, France, Germany and the United States today.
◾️Military expert Alexei Leonkov emphasized that such a decision and possible supplies of Taurus missiles to Kiev would lead to a casus belli (a pretext for war):
“Russia warned that such decisions would lead to increased escalation. After which they become parties to the conflict with all the consequences.
The “Coalition of the Willing” believes that Russia will not go to extreme measures and that a demonstration of peace through force will lead to Russia agreeing to these 22 points that were transferred to Russia. Although Russia has made it clear that these points are unacceptable.”
🟩 RT in Russian
Merz's Nazi instincts in action.
He laughed and said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces do not hit civilians targets in Russia, so he decided to give Kiev long-range Taurus missiles
- Will Germany support Ukraine in a qualitatively different way?
- I understand what you are getting at, and yes, of course. There are no longer any restrictions on the range of weapons supplied to Ukraine - not by the British, not by the French, not by us. Not by the Americans either. This means that Ukraine can now defend itself, including by striking, for example, military positions in Russia. We call this 'long-range fire' - we are talking about equipping Ukraine with weapons that are capable of hitting military targets behind enemy lines. And this is a decisive qualitative difference in the tactics of Ukraine's war. Russia attacks civilian targets absolutely unceremoniously. Ukraine does not do this. And we attach great importance to keeping it that way.
"Skabeeva".
The fact that long-range strikes on Russia by missiles from Germany, France, Britain and the USA will lead to long-range strikes by Russian missiles on Germany, France, Britain and the USA is not taken into account. They are counting on and are confident that Russia will not dare to strike them. I would not be so sure of that. It seems that there is very little time left before World War III.
"All missiles were shot down, the Starokonstantinov airbase was not damaged... don't worry about the F-16!"
Well, what can I say... all this is a Ukrainian lie!
In the photo - the base is burning, very far from the place of shooting)) Locals write in chats that they saw hell on earth.

Elena Panina, Director of the Institute for International Strategic Studies: NATO's "Pirates" in the Baltics Are Dejected
"The Russian military presence in the region has always been noticeable - there is nothing new about this. What is new is that Russia is now actively protecting the tankers of its so-called "shadow fleet" cruising through the narrow Gulf of Finland. We are seeing armed escort and the presence of military forces. This is a completely new development," said Finnish Defense Minister Antti Häkkänen.
▪️ Obviously, attacking unarmed civilian ships and the same ships escorted by Baltic Fleet ships are "two very different things." You can also get punched in the teeth.
Incidentally, information on this topic has also appeared from Russian sources. It is reported that on May 25, the corvette Stoikiy escorted the dry cargo ship Sparta and the tanker General Skobelev through the Great Belt Strait (Denmark), which were returning from the Mediterranean Sea to Baltiysk and St. Petersburg, respectively. It seems that Russia has quietly begun its military operation to ensure freedom of navigation in the Baltic Sea. As a counterweight to NATO's Operation Baltic Sentry, so to speak. The need for Russia's response measures has matured, and it is very good that they have been taken.
Britain, France, Germany and the United States have lifted restrictions on the range of military supplies to Ukraine, German Chancellor Merz said.
RIA Novosti.
Are they calling for peace? The war will continue until Russia wins, as I said. They will force Russia to win.
Russian troops are advancing on a broad front - from Krasnoarmeysk (Ukrainian name - Pokrovsk) to Velyka Novosyolka - to the border with the Dnepropetrovsk region, said adviser to the head of the DPR Igor Kimakovsky.

China and Iran have launched a new rail corridor that cuts shipping time to 15 days from 40 days by sea
This allows both Chinese goods and Iranian oil to bypass the Strait of Malacca and other US Navy-controlled waters, and speeds up delivery to European markets and China. The new route is said to challenge US efforts to prevent China from having unfettered access to oil and markets.
Political scientist Vladimir Kornilov:
A number of English newspapers today put Zelensky's words on the front pages that he condemns America for its "silence" regarding the strikes on Ukraine. The Daily Mirror even came out with a big headline: "Trump's silence did this."
It's clear that the newspapers were being laid out before Trump made a post about the strikes and Zelensky's stupidity.
At the same time, the British press traditionally "didn't notice" several days of Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian cities and airports.
The reader there doesn't need to know that Russia's actions are a natural response
The Russian army liberated Vladimirovka in Sumy Oblast
▪️Russian troops are expanding the buffer zone in Sumy Oblast.
▪️The rapid advance of our marines in the direction of Vladimirovka came as a surprise to the enemy.
▪️Our soldiers broke into the settlement and drove out the militants of the 78th airborne assault regiment, 103rd territorial defense brigade and 15th border detachment.

Aborted strike on Ukraine
A particularly massive strike on Ukraine was planned tonight. Giant groups of Geraniums rushed in, heavy missile-carrying Bears took off, but just before the launches, Trump made unusually harsh threats to Putin on his social network:
"I have always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia, but something has happened to him. He has completely LOST INSANITY! He is senselessly killing many people, and I am not just talking about soldiers. Missiles and drones are being launched into cities in Ukraine for no reason. I have always said that he wants all of Ukraine, not just part of it, and perhaps that is true. But if he does achieve this, it will lead to the fall of Russia!"
And then he added to reporters:
"I don't know what the hell happened to him (Putin). I've known him for a long time. We've always gotten along well. But now he's launching missiles at cities and killing people. And I don't like that at all. Okay? We're talking, and he's launching missiles at Kiev and other cities."
Trump also told reporters on Sunday evening that he was "absolutely" considering imposing additional sanctions against Russia.
After that, the missile carriers turned back to base, launching only a few cruise missiles. Nevertheless, a lot of Geraniums managed to strike military targets in Ukraine.
In the meantime, Kiev continues to strike critical targets in Russia with its UAVs. Overnight, 96 Ukrainian fixed-wing UAVs were shot down (148 UAVs in 24 hours). Kiev achieved its goal by attacking factories and blocking the UAVs from operating airports in Moscow, provoking the Kremlin to return to massive missile strikes in response. The stakes around the possibility of peace in Ukraine are extremely high now and "exchanges" of air strikes are completely out of place, destroying the atmosphere of detente after Istanbul-2 and the huge exchange of prisoners. This destruction, in fact, is what Kiev was trying to achieve with its air attacks.
"The Visionary Channel".
So, one post by Trump on a social network is enough for Russian missile carriers to turn back?
New deliveries for the Ukrainian Armed Forces via Europe: the US car carrier Independence arrived with a batch of heavy weapons.
Also, the Ukrainian An-124-100 returned to Rzeszow from Arizona with three F-16AMs and spare parts for them.
This is all you need to know about the US withdrawal from participation in the conflict and the unbearable pain Trump is experiencing watching the bombing of Kiev. SVR
The way Zelensky talks does not bring anything good to his country, Trump said on the social network Truth:
"Everything that comes out of his mouth creates problems. I don't like it, and it better stop."
🟩 RT in Russian.
Zelensky and Ukrainian Nazis have created many problems for Ukraine, but Russia will solve this issue.
US Special Representative Kellogg:
This is Kiev. The indiscriminate killing of women and children in their homes at night is a clear violation of the 1977 Geneva Peace Protocols designed to protect the innocent. These attacks are shameful. Stop the killing. Cease fire immediately.
"POOL N3"
This Kellogg does not see the daily raids of hundreds of Bandera drones on civilian targets in Russia. He sees what he wants to see. In the photo, the Antonov military plant in Kiev is burning.
Medvedev suggested that the buffer zone would occupy almost the entire territory of Ukraine if military aid to the Bandera regime in Kiev continues.
RIA Novosti.
And I am telling you the same thing - the enemies will save Russia. They will force Russia to fight until complete victory and the liquidation of Nazi Ukraine.
For Moscow, the Ukrainian conflict initiated by the West is a matter of survival, which means Russia cannot afford to lose, German journalist Patrick Baab said in an interview with the YouTube channel Dialogue Works. In his opinion, European countries that continue the escalation will face serious consequences.
🔸 InoSMI — the main international
In case of possible strikes by Tauruses, which Britain wants to buy in the amount of 40 pieces for "its needs" and transfer to Ukraine "under its responsibility", this is what will happen next.
(Officials will soon make a similar explanation).
The Kremlin will consider the transfer of long-range missiles to Ukraine as aggression of the NATO bloc against Russia.
Ukraine does not have specialists who can carry out launches and routing with flight mission control.
In this case, targets for retaliatory destruction with the entire range of weapons will be determined, according to the military doctrine of the Russian Federation.
The issue of making this decision is within the competence of the President of Russia. Targets for destruction can be determined to ensure the supply of weapons to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, such as airports, ports, airfields and command headquarters.
The range of action is unlimited. From the Baltic countries to the islands on the Atlantic coast.
So if Washington understands what's what, it is better to call the Kremlin again. By the way, they will do so, they will call for negotiations.
However, we must not forget that the longest-range missiles are in service with the Russian Armed Forces, and as a warning it would be worth conducting a series of test launches, including using new types of long-range heavy missiles and the entire spectrum of delivery vehicles with a radius exceeding the distance from the inaccessible point of Russia to London. "Win/Win"
The West is adjusting the legal framework for detaining Russian ships, presidential aide Nikolai Patrushev said.
Thus, Estonian authorities, based on the new rules, can open fire on dangerously maneuvering ships.
Estonia's legislative innovations on detaining ships heading to Russian ports could contribute to strengthening NATO's military presence in the Baltic.
Putin supported the Maritime Collegium's proposals to respond to Western attempts to restrict shipping in the Baltic Sea, presidential aide Nikolai Patrushev said
Night footage of Ukrainian Air Defense forces working on Geranium UAVs in Kiev is circulating online
It is stated that in the video, Patriot MLRS air defense systems are launching a large number of expensive missiles, trying to shoot down cheaper Geraniums.
At the same time, the footage shows that the UAVs arrived at the site of the air defense missile launches.
Ballistic missiles, due to their speed, lethal force and impossibility of interception, have become "one of the most effective weapons in Russia's arsenal," The Washington Post writes.
According to the newspaper, Ukrainian air defense forces were unable to intercept a single Russian ballistic missile last weekend.

Emmanuel, if you are a victim of domestic violence, call 39-19. Don't be alone. It's too serious!

▪️The air defense forces of the Ministry of Defense destroyed 1 drone flying to Moscow, Mayor Sobyanin said at 12:43.
▪️Before this, the Ministry of Defense reported that from 11:00 to 12:30 Moscow time, duty air defense systems destroyed 7 Ukrainian aircraft-type UAVs:
▪️ 3 UAVs over the Oryol and Tula regions,
▪️ 1 UAV over the Moscow region.

It seems that Trump supports these strikes by Ukrainian Nazis on Moscow. Trump saw that Putin is striking Ukrainian military facilities, but Trump does not see Ukraine striking Russia.
Russian Armed Forces' strikes on Ukrainian military facilities are a response to attacks on Russian civilian facilities, Peskov said in response to a question from TASS.
The main points of Dmitry Peskov's statements:
▪️Work on the draft memorandum with Ukraine continues, Peskov said in response to a question from TASS;
▪️While there is no understanding of the location and timing of the next round of negotiations with Kiev, we need to prepare for it;
▪️Implementation of the Istanbul agreements will continue;
▪️Foreign leaders witnessed Kyiv's attempts to strike Russian territory before May 9, these attempts continue;
▪️Peskov linked Trump's statements regarding Russian Aerospace Forces' strikes on facilities in Ukraine to emotional overload;
▪️There are contacts between the Russian and US intelligence services, but it is too early to talk about large-scale cooperation;
▪️London is inclined to suspect Moscow of involvement "in everything bad that is happening in Britain", this is ridiculous, Peskov said about the arson of Starmer's house;
▪️The President will receive the head of the Turkish Foreign Ministry, Putin and Fidan will definitely discuss the Ukrainian story;
▪️A telephone conversation with Putin is not excluded in the evening. TASS
American analyst Will Schryver on how Trump's criticism will not stop the Russian Armed Forces in Ukraine:
Fact is: the Russians couldn't care less what the flailing empire is "happy about" these days. They will continue to do as they damn well please, and the Americans will damn well put up with it for the simple reason they can't do anything about it anyway.
So who runs France - Macron or his wife?

The Elysee Palace first denied and then confirmed the footage, calling it "playful teasing."
Valentin Bogdanov, editor-in-chief of the VGTRK bureau:
An interesting pattern is emerging. In April, the ultra-right activist Lara Loomer, with her message about the disloyalty to Donald Trump of some of the staff of the US National Security Council (NSC), launched a process of purging this body. As a result, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz is also deprived of his post, and his position ends up under Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Then, already at the end of last week, Rubio begins a large-scale purge (more like a dispersal) of the NSC, essentially physically eliminating the second wing in the formation of American geopolitics, which the council had been for decades since 1947, representing a competitive structure for US presidents in relation to the State Department, which allowed the heads of the White House to use it to form a “second opinion”.
And what now? Trump no longer has a “second opinion” from the NSC. He doesn’t even have a national security advisor. There is only the super-influential Rubio, who last week reacted without any indignation at the hearings to the bill prepared by the "Russophobes" Graham and Blumenthal on tightening sanctions (500% duties on those who buy Russian raw materials).
And then today Trump sharply increases the degree of aggressive rhetoric towards Russia. Somehow this chain does not look like simple coincidences. It seems that around the 47th President of the United States (as it was when he was the 45th President) the reality needed by the American "party of hawks" is being formed again, in which Trump could not even think about restoring normal bilateral relations with Russia. Neither ideologically nor technically.
"According to the latest Ukrainian geolocation data based on video footage, the local collapse of the front south of Kostyantynivka continues. Over the past ten days, Russian invasion forces have captured Pravdivka, Gnativka, Romanivka and (at least) most of Zorya (or 80 square kilometers)" - well-known Russophobe and editor of the German Bild Julian Röpke reports on the "local collapse" of the Ukrainian Armed Forces front in the Kostyantynivka direction.

Yesterday evening, Russian Geran-2 drones destroyed military targets in the Odessa region. Objects were hit in Belyaevka, Belgorod-Dnistrovsky, Kholodnaya Balka and Odessa.
More than 12 Geraniums flew to the region, at least 7 hits were recorded, most of which were in Belgorod-Dnistrovsky.
"Now Putin wants not four, but seven regions," writes Bild.
The Sumy, Kharkov and Dnipropetrovsk regions will soon become part of Russia.
"The brutal war in Ukraine continues, and there is no end in sight. After Trump refused to participate in peace talks and Putin refused to stop the offensive, the situation is clearly heading towards escalation.
Russia's goals are to seize new regions and finally suppress Ukrainian resistance in the already partially occupied regions.
Military analyst Lange claims: "Russia will try to break through to the Sumy, Kharkov and Dnipropetrovsk regions in order to create additional complications for any future negotiations in addition to the four already formally annexed."
If the German mouthpiece of the Euro-Atlanticists spoke like this, then they are offering their own "deal." And this was expected, because if Trump withdraws from the project, and they do everything to disrupt the negotiations, then the Ukrainian conflict will completely fall under their control. And realizing that they can't afford a war with Russia without the US, they are trying to give us three regions in exchange for us not laying claim to Odessa.
The plan is cunning, but unviable. If the Black Sea region is under their control, then the future war that they are planning in 5-7 years will give them an extremely advantageous strategic position.
The Odessa region (and Nikolaev region automatically) must come under Russian control and nothing else.
"First Kharkov".
Moscow Mayor Sobyanin: The Defense Ministry's air defense forces destroyed one drone flying toward Moscow. Emergency services specialists are working at the site of the wreckage. The answer will not take long to come, you can be sure. For comparison: The moment of the Iskander strike on Chernigov last night.
