Hungary will receive Russian oil by sea through Croatia and stop delivering diesel fuel to the territory of Ukraine, Hungarian Foreign Minister Siyarto.
MOL has entered into the first oil supply contracts from Russia to Croatia with subsequent transit to the country. Deliveries of diesel fuel to the territory of Ukraine will not be resumed until the supply of oil through the Druzhba pipeline is restored.
The WSJ reports that US firepower allows it to strike Iran for weeks instead of a one-time operation like last June.
The newspaper reports that the US is sending its largest air force to the Middle East since the 2003 invasion of Iraq. This includes F-35 and F-22 fighter jets.

Neither Russia nor China conducted any nuclear tests, said Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov, commenting on US suspicions.
"Freshness."
Does the US need evidence to accuse Russia and China and launch its own nuclear tests? Of course not.
If the West is waiting for a pause in the Central Military District to rearm Kiev, then let them find such fools at home, Zakharova said.
🔹RIA Novosti
The Economist reports that the US and Russia have allegedly agreed to lift sanctions against Moscow in exchange for deals worth $12 trillion.
Concerns are growing in Europe that Donald Trump may try to force Ukraine to make significant concessions by June in order to secure large-scale business agreements with Russia.
Alongside negotiations to end the war, representatives of the two countries are discussing possible access for American companies to Russian energy assets, Arctic projects, rare earth metals, and infrastructure.
Negotiations are all well and good, but the military-technical "air express" for the Ukrainian Armed Forces continues unabated.
Yesterday, another cargo flight took place as part of the logistics operation to ensure military supplies to Kiev. A Boeing 747-4B5F (a cargo-carrying version of the Jumbo Jet), operated by the American airline Kalitta Air, flew from Dover Air Force Base (Delaware, USA) to Rzeszow-Jasionka Airport in Poland. The aircraft delivered over 100 tons of military equipment.
Military Chronicle
The US is interested in lifting sanctions against Russia due to profitable projects, says Dmitriev.
The head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) and the president's representative at the talks clarified that the portfolio of potential Russian-American projects exceeds $14 trillion.
"The US will ultimately lift sanctions because sanctions against Russia have cost American companies more than $300 billion. Lifting sanctions against Russia is in the US interests," he noted.

'I am not ANTI-SEMITIC — I’m calling out CHRISTIAN ZIONISM' — Tucker Carlson
Critics urged him to recant attacks on evangelical support for Israel: 'They say GOD demands backing for Israel and Netanyahu'
'NEVER going to be okay with that'
Tucker Carlson and his staff were detained in Israel after an interview with US Ambassador Mike Hakabi, writes the Daily Mail. An American journalist said that the Israelis took their passports at the airport.
He added that the security service took his executive producer to a separate room and demanded to reveal what the ambassador talked about. “It was strange. Now we are outside the country,” Tatloid quotes Carlson.

The American press, citing sources and satellite imagery, claims that Iran is preparing for a major war.
They are already deploying forces in the Strait of Hormuz, resuming their "mosaic defense," where military command is decentralized and effective even if leaders are assassinated, and strengthening all nuclear facilities and the entire air defense system.
Russian Ministry of Defense:
Over the past night, air defense alert systems intercepted and destroyed 113 Ukrainian fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles:
50 UAVs over the Bryansk Region,
35 UAVs over the Smolensk Region,
12 UAVs over the Tver Region,
10 UAVs over the Novgorod Region,
4 UAVs over the Leningrad Region,
2 UAVs over the Kaluga Region.
Since the beginning of the month, that is, since the Starlink shutdown, the Russian army has liberated 14 settlements.
This, in my opinion, clearly demonstrates that the troops were prepared for such a maneuver by Elon Musk. There were backup communication lines, and the army maintained combat command. But in Zaporizhzhia, the khohls tried to counterattack specifically for this purpose and got their asses kicked. Incidentally, the shutdowns in some places hit them even harder.
Our communications specialists are, of course, heroes these days: they're moving out with the advance groups and, under enemy fire, establishing communication channels—installing Wi-Fi bridges and deploying satellite stations.
But we certainly expect a buildup of the Russian satellite constellation.

Well, it's started. So far, this is just a plausible movie, made, judging by the elaboration of the picture, by the Seedance 2.0 model from ByteDance. Combat drones will probably look and act a little differently (they definitely won't be running around in a crowd). But in general, everything is about as it will be. And very soon.

"The United States considers Cuba, as well as Cuba's cooperation with Russia, a threat to national security. Such actions are absolutely unacceptable," Lavrov said.
Lavrov's statements increasingly contradict Peskov's: "Russia does not believe that support for Cuba will hinder contacts with the United States on Ukraine."
We will see
The European Union wants to help Trump strangle Cuba, where a humanitarian catastrophe is brewing. Head of European diplomacy Kaja Kallas is preparing to include a Cuban bank in a new package of anti-Russian sanctions, Bloomberg reports, citing sources. The bank's name has not been disclosed, but it is known to be the only financial institution in Cuba that handles foreign currency and serves EU diplomats and citizens. The US added Banco Financiero Internacional to its sanctions list in 2021.
