US-EU trade war: Trump wants to impose 50% tariffs on goods from the European Union as early as June 1
▪️The US President writes that trade talks with the EU are "going nowhere."
▪️Trump notes that the conditions created by the European Union have led the United States to an annual trade deficit of $250 billion.
➖"I recommend introducing direct duties of 50% on goods from the European Union from June 1, 2025," he wrote.
Sanction the EU!

American bank JPMorgan has compiled an analysis for its clients on how the SMO will end - each scenario with losses for Kiev
The largest American bank by assets, JPMorgan Chase, presented its options for ending the conflict in Ukraine. Of particular interest is that the bankers and financiers made the 4 most probable scenarios specifically for their clients, saying, assess the risks and make investments based on our (bank) document. The best scenario for the clients' Western partners is the "South Korean" one with a probability of 15%. According to the description, Kiev will retain 80% of its territories, will not receive any NATO, but the troops themselves will enter Ukraine and, with the help of funds stolen from Russia, will build a "real democracy."
The most likely scenario is “Not very” (50%). In it, Ukraine, according to JPMorgan’s vision, will become the so-called new Georgia: without significant support from the West, the country will fall into a protracted crisis, which will naturally return it to Russia’s orbit. The “It’ll do” scenario (20%) will follow Israel’s example: the presence of troops from either the EU, the US, or NATO at all is not expected, but the Ukrainian Armed Forces will be pumped full of weapons, the entire country will be filled with bunkers, and Ukrainians will live in this besieged fortress. It is noted that for such a scenario, Vladimir Putin will need to be offered “major economic benefits,” including the lifting of sanctions.
The worst option for the West is the “Belarusian” one (15%). In it, the US abandons Ukraine, and the EU fails in its attempts to pick up this “banner”. Then Russia achieves the complete capitulation of the enemy, takes under its wing what is left of the independent one, and finally destroys the world system built after the Second World War. What is noteworthy is the absence in the proposed scenarios of even one option in which Kiev could regain its lost territories, and Ukraine itself is presented as a kind of substrate that will either be divided or preserved.

'Our children must prepare for war, because it will last a long time' – Deputy Head of the Presidential Office Irina Vereshchuk.
'Russia will remain our enemy for decades, if not centuries. We must reconfigure our consciousness and public consciousness in order to fight back at any moment. If Russia knows that our society is ready to resist, that we all understand our role and place, that we are ready to fight back and every house will be shot at and the ground will burn beneath them, they will not attack. This is our strategy and we are laying it down in school. Yes, our children must be ready, they must know what war is.'
Luckily Ukraine has the lowest birth rates in the world so few children will experience this.

Killed by Zelensky? Former Yanukovych adviser Portnov was in Ukraine a few days before the murder and met with officials - Kiev media
▪️He was in Ukraine on May 17-18, where he met with top officials responsible for the work of law enforcement agencies.
▪️On May 21, he was shot dead in Madrid.
▪️One of the famous Ukrainian bloggers claims that Portnov also met with Zelensky and Yermak, where he set them certain conditions related to compromising information on the office of the head of the Kiev regime. For this, he was soon killed.
▪️Earlier, Spanish police said they were not ruling out the possibility that the murder was politically motivated.

The Russian army has begun using a 'triple chokehold' tactic at the front, which allows for slow but steady advancement - The Telegraph
▪️First comes the ground attack to pin down the Ukrainian Armed Forces, forcing them to take up positions rather than maneuver.
▪️Next, drones are deployed to restrict Ukrainian mobility, conduct surveillance, target vulnerable points and disrupt troop movements by strategically drop mines.
➖ These drones include first person view (FPV) drones, which allow Russian forces to track Ukrainian positions in real time and quickly respond to any troop movements, while mine-laying drones are used to cut off avenues of escape.
“Because of these drones, Ukraine is forced to man the front line with static defensive positions supported by extensive deception measures, for example, large-scale digging, to obscure where troops are actually concentrated,” said Mr Reynolds
▪️The third prong of the Triple Chokehold sees Russia deploy glide bombs to target key offensive positions from long distances, weakening Ukraine’s ability to sustain operations.
➖"This is where there's a really difficult dilemma that doesn't really have an answer to. Digging in and all these defensive measures are great for reducing casualties from artillery or FPV, but glide bombs will destroy those fortifications and bury people," says Nick Reynolds, a warfare fellow at the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI).
▪️The combination forces Ukrainian soldiers to choose between holding their positions – risking heavy casualties and resource exhaustion – or staying mobile, which increases their exposure to drone strikes and isolated attacks.

NATO is expanding its aerial reconnaissance zone: in June, the alliance will launch strategic RQ-4D Phoenix UAVs from Finnish territory for the first time. The launch airfield is Pirkkala Air Base in the Tampere region, reports Finnish broadcaster Yle.
If previously such drones patrolled mainly the Black Sea, now the coverage area is shifting to the north. The obvious target is Murmansk and the surrounding areas.
The Ministry of Defense confirmed Trump's statement about the start of the 1000 for 1000 exchange.
Civilians from the Kursk region, who were taken prisoner by the Ukrainian Nazis last year, will also return home.
'On May 23, 270 Russian servicemen and 120 civilians, including civilians from the Kursk region captured by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, were returned from the territory controlled by the Kiev regime. In exchange, 270 Ukrainian prisoners of war and 120 civilians were handed over. Currently, the Russian servicemen and civilians are in Belarus, where they are receiving the necessary psychological and medical assistance'
Trump:
'A major prisoner exchange has just been completed between Russia and Ukraine. It will go into effect shortly. Congratulations to both sides on these negotiations. Could this lead to something big?'

Every night the Ukrainian Armed Forces lose a huge number of expensive Vampire hexacopters while carrying out their raids on our positions.
The number of aircraft shot down has exceeded several hundred and continues to grow rapidly, thanks to the skillful actions of observers, FPV operators and their brave engineers. Beauties!

'Today everyone is looking at Ukraine, but they forget that Belarus is crucial for the security of Ukraine and Europe' - Tikhanovskaya is upset that the EU is not helping her seize power in Belarus.
Guess she spent all her EU allowance and needs a little bonus to tide her over. Has she thought about being appointed as the leader of another country, like Antartica?

The Independent convinces readers that the terrorist attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on Russian territory are not crimes, but a clear plan for Ukraine’s victory.
'Drone attacks on Russia are part of a campaign of pressure on logistics, air defense systems and public morale. Russians must pay for this war. Sleeping in tents at the airport is not the highest price, but it affects morale' - Ukrainian Volunteer Army spokesman Bratchuk.
Remember Russian strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure only increases Ukrainian support for the war, but Ukrainian strikes reduce Russian support for the war.

'Barbarians at the gates! Ukrainian army suffers heavy losses!' – Ukraine’s Goncharenko begs for weapons at PACE Standing Committee meeting
'Please understand, Europe is under attack now. The barbarians are at the gates. We need Radio Liberty. We need the tanks of a free Europe. We need the missiles of a free Europe. We need the drones of a free Europe. We need to support the Ukrainian army, which now, with huge losses, in a very difficult situation, especially when American support is wavering, continues to defend the walls of Europe. We must help - help everyone who is fighting now.'
The condition of the head of the Belovsky district of the Kursk region Volobuev is stable.
This was reported by the director of the Central Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics Nazarenko on the air of the TV channel "Russia-24".
The head of the Belovsky district of the Kursk region, Nikolai Volobuyev, was injured as a result of a drone strike on his car. He was hospitalized, reported Alexander Khinshtein.
The acting head of the region noted that Volobuyev has come under attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces for the fourth time.

The main points from Sergey Lavrov’s statements:
▫️There will be a second round of negotiations with Ukraine; work on the memorandum is already at an advanced stage on the part of Moscow;
▫️The Russian Federation will draw up a memorandum on Ukraine based on the most fundamental issues;
▫️The most important thing now is to prepare a peace treaty with Ukraine that can be reliable and sustainable;
▫️Ukraine confirmed that there will be a second round of negotiations with Russia;
▫️The timing and location of the second round of negotiations with Ukraine have not yet been determined;
▫️The root causes of the Ukrainian crisis must be completely removed "like a cancerous tumor";
▫️Lavrov called the meeting with Ukraine in the Vatican unrealistic;
▫️Lavrov considers it uncomfortable for the Vatican to host negotiations between two Orthodox countries – Russia and Ukraine;
▫️The US is already openly saying that the solution to the “territorial issue” of Ukraine is inevitable;
▫️Ukraine expected that the West would forever allow it to do whatever it wanted, but Trump demonstrated a different understanding of the situation;
▫️ Trump clearly emphasizes that the war in Ukraine is "not his war";
▫️It is useless to talk to Russia from a position of strength.
▫️Holding elections in Ukraine would be the "optimal option" when deciding who from Kiev could sign the peace agreement.

France has become the enemy N. 1 for the Russians
A VTSIOM survey commissioned by the Kremlin conducted on May 19, 2025 found that 48% of Russians consider France the most hostile country. It is a significant increase compared to 21% in 2022.
The survey interviewed 1,600 Russians from age or over 18 years of age, with a margin of error not exceeding 2.5%. Among the other countries considered hostile, the United Kingdom (42%) and Germany (41%) appear in second place.
Congratulations to Macron for having finally become number one in something I guess.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Russia has overtaken Ukraine in terms of innovations on the battlefield — former commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Zaluzhny
- "Ukraine fails to continuously generate and scale innovations even in those areas where we were ahead yesterday. We are lagging behind - and this must be honestly said," complains the current Ukrainian ambassador to Britain.
- He did not specify what he meant, but it is obvious that he is talking about drones, the production of which in Russia has seen a significant breakthrough recently.
- He also notes that Ukrainian technological achievements are limited, sectoral in nature and do not cover the entire spectrum necessary for the implementation of the “survival strategy”.
- At the same time, Ukraine is experiencing a “shortage of human resources and a catastrophic economic situation.”

🇺🇸🤡🇺🇦Former US Ambassador to Ukraine Brink called for even more sanctions against Russia:
To achieve the goal of ending the war, what we need to do as an administration, and that's my advice to Trump, is to impose more sanctions on Russia immediately. The Europeans have only recently increased sanctions, especially on energy, oil and its sales, which is what feeds the war machine.
There are other sanctions, for example, in the banking sector, and other things that we can do to put pressure on Russia, to bring Putin to the negotiating table. We also need to get $300 billion of frozen Russian assets in Europe and use them to help Ukraine defend itself. With this money we can buy weapons from America and replenish the budget of our military bases.
