Iran is negotiating to prevent the US from striking it, Trump said.
"Just ask Venezuela. Ask Venezuela, Iran. They're negotiating right now. They don't want us to strike them. You know, we have a large flotilla heading toward Iran."
Russia's patience is not limitless; it took a long time to "cut," Lavrov said in an interview with RT, commenting on examples of goodwill on Russia's part, including the energy ceasefire with Ukraine in 2025, when Kiev violated the agreement.

Russia and the United States have agreed to resume high-level military-to-military contacts, according to U.S. European Command.
This was reportedly the result of meetings in Abu Dhabi.
General Alexus Grinkevich has been authorized to conduct dialogue on the American side with Russian Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov to "provide a mechanism to prevent unintended escalation."
Six civilians were injured in Ukrainian drone attacks on civilians in the Belgorod region, according to Governor Gladkov.

US and Russia nearing deal to keep following New START limits after it expires Thursday — Axios
The arrangement wouldn't be binding but would hold both sides to the treaty's terms for at least six months while a new framework is negotiated, according to sources
Trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi have concluded, the Ukrainian side reports.

"Listen, you have seven children. Do you love children that much? - No, I enjoy the process itself."
Ukrainian Defense Minister Fedorov confirmed the launch of the first phase of "whitelisting" Starlink terminals and the shutdown of all others.
Therefore, yesterday's shutdown of most Russian Starlink terminals was related to this. Some Ukrainian terminals, whose users, for various reasons, failed to register them in recent days, also stopped working, but the lists will be updated further.
Such haste on the part of the enemy to launch whitelists, even at the cost of some of their subscribers, demonstrates the seriousness of the threat posed by Russian drones with Starlink terminals.
Furthermore, as we initially feared, not only the terminals on the drones have been disrupted, but also landline communications at the front lines. This now sets communications and combat command in the Russian Armed Forces back a couple of years, to the now-forgotten ancient technologies of wired internet, Wi-Fi, and radio communications.
It turns out that "fighting NATO" while relying on NATO's satellite internet and not developing our own equivalents in a timely manner is a pretty poor idea. Who would have thought it?
Military Informant
US Permanent Representative to NATO Matthew Whitaker stated that America will continue to send weapons to Ukraine through the alliance, including offensive systems, until a peace agreement is signed.
While participating in the war on Ukraine's side, how can the US and Trump claim that this is a war between Russia and Ukraine and that they have nothing to do with it?
Iran and the United States are scheduled to hold talks on Tehran's nuclear program on Friday at around 10:00 a.m., according to Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
According to him, the talks are scheduled to take place in Oman's capital, Muscat.
Overnight, air defense alert systems intercepted and destroyed 95 Ukrainian fixed-wing UAVs.
Early in the morning, Ukrainian UAVs attacked an apartment building in Rovenky, LPR.
Five people were injured—a family with many children. The youngest child is 5 months old, and the other two are 7 and 3 years old. All adults and children were taken to the hospital and are receiving the necessary medical care.

We are actively working with Trump administratoin to RESTORE RUSSIA-US ECONOMIC RELATIONS — Putin's special envoy Kirill Dmitriev.
RT News
Dmitriev is trying to improve economic relations with the United States—the same United States that is currently at war with Russia in Ukraine and intends to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia. One can only envy Kirill Dmitriev's optimism.
Elon Musk confirmed that for Starlink to operate in Ukraine, terminals must be registered with Ukrainian government agencies. This means the Russian Armed Forces will not be able to use Starlink communications. Musk supports Ukrainian Nazis and has entered into open war with Russia. What's next, Elon? Nuclear warheads in orbit, aimed at Russia? Don't say no, because that's what will happen. And maybe it already is.

The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the expiration of the Russian-American START Treaty.
"Under the current circumstances, we proceed from the assumption that the parties to the START Treaty are no longer bound by any obligations or symmetrical declarations in the context of the Treaty, including its central provisions, and are, in principle, free to choose their next steps."
Is a new nuclear arms race beginning?
Regarding reports of widespread outages of Starlink terminals along the entire front line and in border areas.
There is simply no alternative to this satellite internet in the Russian Armed Forces, and much, including combat command and control, was tied to it and taken for granted.
Military Informant
The US Congressional Judiciary Committee found that the European Commission grossly interfered in eight election campaigns in six European countries between 2023 and 2025, with the aim of altering the vote results and preventing "conservative and populist political parties" from gaining power.
I'd like to add: in all these cases, the same European Commission was the loudest voice of "Russian interference" and imposed sanctions against Russia for it!
Political scientist Vladimir Kornilov
China's answer to Trump's discombobulator.
⚡️Chinese scientists have created the world's first 20-GW microwave weapon, capable of generating pulses for a minute.
According to the South China Morning Post, this compact ground-based system is capable of disrupting or damaging satellites in low-Earth orbit, including Starlink satellites. The publication reports that the device, called TPG1000Cs, was developed at the Northwest Institute of Nuclear Technology in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province.
This device is four meters long and weighs five tons, allowing it to be mounted on trucks, warships, aircraft, and even satellites. Previously, similar systems could operate continuously for no more than three seconds and were much more cumbersome, the newspaper notes. The TPG1000Cs is capable of generating up to 3,000 high-energy pulses in a single session – significantly outperforming similar systems currently available.
If China eventually deploys the TPG1000C in space, "its stealth strikes will become even more lethal and harder to detect," notes the publication.
Zelensky responded to Russia's demand that all parties to the negotiations recognize Donbas as Russian territory: "Our territories are ours, despite their temporary status as temporarily occupied."
I think someone recently said they were almost at an agreement?
Trump claims that the parties are very close to resolving the conflict in Ukraine, almost there.
✔ TASS
I don't know who's telling Trump this, but Trump doesn't understand anything about what's going on in Ukraine.
When they bring up security guarantees for Ukraine, what country are they talking about? — Lavrov exclusively to RT
Ukraine has banned the Russian language, culture, media and the Orthodox Church — something unheard of elsewhere
‘This is not about territory, it’s about people’.
RT News
That's all true, but in order to return all this to the people, Russia will have to return the territories of Ukraine to its territory.
And here's Zelenskyy's "resonant" statement about 55,000 Ukrainian fighters killed. Notice how the clown is playing to the camera. He deserves to be held up as a standard of scum. To lie so brazenly, you have to be a professional 🤡

Russia has returned 157 soldiers from Ukrainian captivity and, in exchange, handed over 157 Ukrainian prisoners of war, the Russian Ministry of Defense reports.
The Russian soldiers are currently in Belarus, where they are receiving the necessary assistance. They will later be transported to Russia for treatment and rehabilitation.
Three residents of the Kursk region, who were illegally held by the Kiev regime, have been returned, the Russian Ministry of Defense reports.
The UAE acted as an intermediary in the return of the Russian soldiers from captivity.
Trump will make a decision on nuclear arms control and clarify it when he deems it necessary, Bloomberg reports, citing a White House official.
The New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) expired on Thursday.

Trump has a discombobulator that will defeat everyone.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk arrived in Kiev.
🟩 RT in Russian
Who said there was a war in Ukraine?
Trump claimed he coined the word "Discombobulator":
[You were talking about the weapon—the "Discombobulator."]
The Discombobulator... Well, actually, I'm not allowed to talk about it. I'll just say one thing: do you know what it does? All their equipment stops working. That's what it does. Everything just breaks down.
That was my name—and I'm very proud of it. Everything was completely disorganized, "dismantled." It was almost like a gunshot—although, strictly speaking, there was no gunshot. You see, they were ready, right? But when we arrived, they couldn't do anything.
[You saw it on video; it was obvious. It disorganized absolutely everything. Nothing worked—not even the people.]
Yes, it disabled people. We didn't lose a single piece of equipment and we operated under extremely harsh conditions. And they are good fighters, excellent fighters, but in a very hostile environment. It was a military base, the largest in South America, located in extremely difficult conditions. We didn't lose a single man or piece of equipment.
I think we'll soon see the consequences of blocking Starlink for Russia in Ukraine. I think Ukraine will gain a key advantage from this.
However, Russia won't fight Elon Musk. Russia won't destroy Starlink satellites. Russia will be forced to destroy Ukraine. Perhaps using "retaliatory weapons."
But what does Elon Musk care about Ukraine? It's far beyond the great and beautiful ocean...
Zelensky: 'Russia wants us to leave Donbass — because they HAVEN'T won any victories'.
RT News
Zelensky knows that the US and NATO are still fighting against Russia on his side. Trump is fighting against Russia. Elon Musk is fighting against Russia. Most of the Russian soldiers killed in Ukraine were killed by American weapons, using American military technology. The US is taking a huge risk by entering this war with Russia. This war is too big, and Russia is fighting for its very existence. Think about it.

"US-Iran talks scheduled for Friday have been canceled due to Iran's refusal to discuss non-nuclear issues."
Reuters reports this. At the same time, Axios, a publication close to the Trump administration, indirectly confirms the cancellation of the talks:
Planned nuclear talks between the United States and Iran are close to collapse due to a dispute over where and how to hold them.
Both sides agreed to meet in Istanbul on Friday in the presence of representatives from regional countries.
However, Iran requested that the talks be moved to Oman and made strictly bilateral, focusing only on nuclear issues, not missiles or regional security.
A senior US official told Axios:
We told them, 'It's either this or nothing,' and they said, 'Okay, then nothing.'
If the Iranians are ready to return to the original format, the US is ready to meet this week or next.
We want to quickly reach a real deal, otherwise other options will begin to be considered.
Starlink terminals in Ukraine have stopped working, both on the Russian and Ukrainian sides.
