A major fire in Poltava. They write about arrivals at city enterprises.
@Slavyangrad
There are also drone strikes on targets on Poltava.
@Slavyangrad
Odessa was attacked again by a group of "Geraniums", which had previously gathered in a flock over the Black Sea.
The drones then swooped down on the city from a height of a couple of kilometres, out of range of the Ukrainian air defence mobile groups.

🇪🇺🤡"Von der Leyen: Amid Trump's trade war, the whole world is 'lining up' to cooperate with Europe": The EU chief said the spat with Trump is even useful - "the whole world wants to work with predictable Europeans."
"After Donald Trump's trade tarriffs shook up global markets, a host of countries expressed their willingness to cooperate with reliable trading partners from Europe, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said.
According to her, "against the backdrop of an increasingly unpredictable international environment, countries are lining up" to cooperate with the European Union. Von der Leyen emphasized that in recent weeks she had time to talk to the leaders of Iceland, New Zealand, Malaysia, the Philippines, Canada, India and the United Arab Emirates, and all of them were looking for "strong, reliable partners."
The EC chief added that the world order is undergoing such a significant change for the first time since the end of the Cold War."

In Latvia, they are planning to draft women into the army on a mandatory basis. And also sick women.
'At some point, we may have to return to the gender issue of women's participation in compulsory conscription. Since the goal is to train up to 4,000 servicemen annually, we may also have to lower the medical requirements for certain military specialties. In addition, we have a limited number of instructors, since we have to train National Guardsmen, reservists and Ukrainian soldiers,' said Kaspars Pudans, Commander of the National Armed Forces .
'It's not even up for discussion' - French FM Barrot dictates terms of Ukraine peace talks to Trump
"The only goal that concerns us is to protect the interests of France and European security. That is why, when the United States decided to act as a mediator, we made it clear to them what our 'red lines' were," Barrot said, referring to issues on which European leaders would not compromise. He did not elaborate on the 'red lines.'
What the 'conspiracy theorists' warned about has turned out to be true, as usual:
The Rothschilds control governments worldwide.
Environmental activists are not crazy, they're just paid.
Bill Gates wants to vaccinate you using mosquitoes.
The 'Childfree' movement is a form of population control.
The war in Ukraine is about quick profit.
Google was invented by the CIA.
Only four families control the US media.
The elites want to feed you insects now.

🇺🇦🇬🇧"The States will present an ultimatum in favor of Russia" : In Britain, a gloomy mood ahead of negotiations between Ukraine , the US and Europe
▪️Independent writes that the Americans have prepared a “trap” for Kiev at tomorrow’s negotiations in London.
▪️US Secretary of State Marco Rubio "is bringing his team of negotiators with him - not for negotiations, but to present an ultimatum in favor of Russia."
➖"Ukraine will have no choice but to reject proposals to freeze Russia's control over the east. Zelensky will likely be asked (or told) to recognize the Kremlin's de facto rule over Crimea, agreeing that Ukraine can never join NATO."
▪️This may explain why Zelensky will not be coming to London on Wednesday, the Independent believes. Instead, the head of the presidential office, Yermak, will be there.

'US withdrawal from peace talks is Putin's game. Definitely not Trump's game, definitely not Europe's game'
'It commands respect' - Starmer praises Ukrainian army for war with Russia
'It's amazing to see the resilience and inspiration that you show as you go from here either to the front line or perhaps to the front for the first time. I know some of you are coming back for a second or maybe even a third time to get trained and then pass that knowledge on to others back home. That's incredibly important.
Again, it's a huge honour to see so many people from so many different walks of life, from civilian professions, leave their regular jobs and now go to the front lines. You fought for your country, and in doing so, for all of us.
Now, three years later, it is imperative that we all step up our efforts in the area of defense and security. Thank you so much for being here. Thank you for what you do. Thank you for showing us how your training works.'
🇺🇸🇷🇺 U.S. to offer Wednesday to formally recognize Crimea as Russian territory and freeze front lines as part of peace deal - Washington Post
- "U.S. proposals presented to Ukraine in Paris last week include Washington formally recognizing Crimea as Russian territory and lifting sanctions against Russia as part of a future agreement.
- In exchange, Moscow would halt military action in Ukraine at a time when Russian forces have combat momentum and significant advantages in troop strength and weaponry."
❗️ The amount of pressure on Kiev is "astonishing", the publication's interlocutor among Western officials assessed.

At least 28 tourists have been killed after suspected militants opened fire at a popular local tourist destination in Kashmir during a scheduled four-day visit to the country by the US president JD Vance.
The attack occurred in the Baisaran Valley, a picturesque meadow in Pahalgam, a well-known tourist town located 90 kilometres south of Srinagar, the region’s main city, in what officials are describing as the deadliest attack on civilians in the region in recent years.
Government officials said the dead included tourists from the Indian states of Karnataka, Odisha and Gujarat and two foreign nationals. At least six others were wounded.
India’s prime minister, Narendra Modi, decried the “heinous act” cut short a visit to Saudi Arabia.
“Those behind this heinous act will be brought to justice ... they will not be spared. Their evil agenda will never succeed. Our resolve to fight terrorism is unshakable and will only grow stronger,” said Modi, who met with Vance the day before.
Donald Trump expressed his “full support” to India in a call with Modi late on Tuesday, Delhi’s foreign ministry said.
The scene of the attack was cordoned off as police launched an operation to track down the attackers.
Sorry Indian brothers for your loss.

'The US has the tools to really put pressure on Russia. Why don't they use all the tools to really end this war?'
Zelensky's transformation from European hero to panhandler
What can Zelensky do for Ukraine to advance the negotiations?
Zelensky has little control over his own affairs. We have seen this in recent weeks. He has to constantly ensure that the Americans continue to support Ukraine, and therefore he is forced to meet American demands. If Kellogg or Rubio clearly formulate that the Americans are ready to offer something to the Russians, then Zelensky will have no influence on this decision. And we see this in the rhetoric of the White House: ultimately, it is Zelensky, and therefore President Biden, who is credited with the main responsibility for this war. Ukraine is now in a weaker position.
'The Russians are historical enemies with the Americans first and foremost. So it's a dangerous moment [if the US withdraws from the talks]. We very much hope that President Trump will support Ukraine and will put pressure on Russia. We very much believe in that.'
❗️Peskov commented publications about the conversation between Putin and Witkoff in St. Petersburg.
The Financial Times newspaper previously wrote that the Russian president allegedly voiced a proposal there to stop the Ukrainian conflict along the current front line.
"There are a lot of fakes being published now, including by respected publications, so you should only listen to the original sources ," Peskov told the agency.
Zelensky agreed to abandon Ukraine's accession to NATO if the US and Russia give something in return
'If they want to record that Ukraine is abandoning NATO, then I have a question. What will happen to Ukraine? Just a question, if America asks us to abandon NATO, I will ask: 'And what in return?' If they say that we are giving such guarantees, then this is a dialogue. And what will Russia give us for this? Or what will it refuse if we abandon NATO?'
Putin has offered to halt his invasion of Ukraine across the current front line as part of efforts to reach a peace deal with US President Donald Trump, according to people familiar with the matter.
The Russian president told Steve Witkoff, Trump’s special envoy, during a meeting in St Petersburg earlier this month that Moscow could relinquish its claims to areas of four partly occupied Ukrainian regions that remain under Kiev’s control, three of the people said.
The US has since floated ideas for a possible settlement that includes Washington recognising Russian ownership of Ukraine’s Crimean peninsula, the people added, as well as at least acknowledging the Kremlin’s de facto control over the parts of the four regions it currently holds.
The proposal is the first formal indication Putin has given since the war’s early months three years ago that Russia could step back from its maximalist demands to end the invasion.
But European officials briefed on US efforts to end the war cautioned that Putin would probably use the apparent concession as bait to lure Trump into accepting Russia’s other demands and forcing them on Ukraine as a fait accompli.
“There is a lot of pressure on Kiev right now to give up on things so Trump can claim victory,” one of them said.
The US floated ideas the White House hopes could form the outlines of a possible deal at a meeting in Paris last week with European and Ukrainian officials. Zelensky said on Tuesday that he had not received a proposal from Trump outlining specific steps towards ending Russia’s war. But he said that once a ceasefire was in place, he would be ready for direct talks with Putin.
“There are signals, ideas, discussions, but it isn’t an official proposition,” Zelensky said. If such an official proposition came, he said, “we will answer”.
Senior Ukrainian officials told the FT that they were amenable to some of the ideas floated by Trump and his team without specifying which in particular. The US proposals include deploying a European peacekeeping contingent in Ukraine as well as a separate, non-Nato military force to help monitor a ceasefire along a demilitarised zone spanning the entirety of the more than 1,000km frontline.
Under a potential deal, Ukraine would pledge not to retake Russian-occupied territory by force, while Russia would agree to halt its army’s slow advance.
Ukrainian officials are due to meet European and US officials in London on Wednesday to discuss the latest proposals. However, Witkoff and US secretary of state Marco Rubio have pulled out of the meeting. Witkoff will travel again to Moscow later this week
@Slavyangrad
If The Washington Post's leak is confirmed, the United States is preparing to officially offer Ukraine and the EU to recognize Crimea as Russian territory and freeze the current front line.
Washington actually recognizes that everything that has been returned will not be given back. All talk of "territorial integrity," "human rights," and "European values" is thrown on the scrap heap - along with thousands of dead, tens of billions, and the last vestiges of illusions.
For Zelensky, this is a direct noose on his political career: to accept means to sign a surrender, not to accept means to remain without U.S. support and wait for the Russian army to rewrite the borders on its own, and in any way it wants. Europe is left without a role in this play: its policy built on sanctions is burning. For Russia, this is a formal verification of what has been achieved. The US doesn't want war anymore. They want to get out - quietly, quickly and with what they can save. Everything else will be left to Russia.
@Slavyangrad
Zelensky will fly to the Vatican to attend the funeral of Pope Francis.
In fact, he will try to ask for an appointment with Trump. He hopes that on such a day, Don will not refuse him.
A coked out Zelensky has once again confused the Godfather movies with reality. He is still waiting for Steiner’s forces to aid him in the Donbass.

🇺🇦🇺🇸Ukraine does not legally recognize Crimea as Russian, - Zelensky.
➖"There is nothing to talk about - this is outside our Constitution. This is our territory, the territory of the people of Ukraine... This will not happen," he said.
▪️Ukraine has not yet received any official proposals to exchange or renounce territories.
▪️Ukraine is ready for negotiations with Russia only after a complete ceasefire, which will become a condition for any format of dialogue with Moscow.
▪️No one except NATO countries has the right to veto Ukraine’s accession to the Alliance.
▪️Commenting on information about potential US control over the Zaporozhye NPP: only Ukraine can be the operator of the station.
▪️During the meeting in London, only those issues for which the negotiating group has a mandate will be discussed, including a partial or complete ceasefire.
▪️Subsoil agreement: legal consultations are currently ongoing, there is no information about signing the agreement (according to the Memorandum signed last week, negotiations on the subsoil deal must be completed by Saturday).

Dutch military intelligence director sees Russian threat
'We see that it is growing. The conflict in the grey zone between war and peace has become a reality. More and more state actors are trying to undermine our society with hybrid attacks. Russia in particular ... is increasingly willing to take risks. Especially after the possible end of the war against Ukraine.'
'Ukraine Lost the War' - Political History and International Security Professor Joe Siracusa Tells Australians No More Money to Support Zelensky
'The Americans are not going to invest any more money in Ukraine. Ukraine has lost the war. It will have to make the best deal it can. And now there comes a moment for Putin, I think, when he will just decide to cash in his chips. He has nothing left to win. He has four regions. He has Crimea. He has done a damn good job of making sure that Ukraine does not join NATO, but remains a neutral zone on his border. So I think Putin has got everything he wanted. And now he wants to do business with the United States.'
