🇷🇺🤡The United States is proposing a neutral status for the lands around the Zaporozhye NPP under Washington's control, The Washington Post writes.
One of the conditions that could contribute to the settlement of the conflict in Ukraine could be the assignment of neutral status to the territories around the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) with the establishment of Washington’s control over them.
The Russian Foreign Ministry has repeatedly emphasized that Russia will not transfer the Zaporozhye NPP to Ukraine or any other country.

"Beijing slams 'appeasement' of US in trade deals that hurt China": China warned of the risk of global trade reverting to the "law of the jungle"."
"China has lashed out at countries that make trade deals with the US at Beijing's expense and vowed to take countermeasures against those who pander to Washington.
Amid the US trade war with China gaining momentum, a number of countries are negotiating with Washington to cut duties. Beijing warned partners seeking to strike a deal with the US.
"Appeasement will not bring peace, and compromise will not be honored. Once international trade reverts to the 'law of the jungle' where the strong prey on the weak, all countries will be victimized," said a spokesman for China's Ministry of Commerce. - China is firmly opposed to any party entering into agreements to the detriment of China's interests. If such a situation arises, China will never accept it and will resolutely take countermeasures in response."

In connection with the intensified topic of the next exchange of bodies, the group for calculating the losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces of the LOSTARMOUR project offers an overview of this issue for the entire period of the SVO.
We know that at least 61 exchanges were made in total, the earliest being 05/07/2022, of which we have information on 50.
Initially, exchanges were carried out as equivalent, similar to those with prisoners, but later shifted towards the “all for all” scheme, since there is no benefit from storing enemy bodies.
In 2023, there is some shift in the number of bodies handed over towards dead Russian soldiers, especially during the summer Ukrainian "counteroffensive".
In the future, especially since the summer of 2024, there has been a sharp increase in the number of bodies transferred to Ukraine.

She is now a major voice in promoting a massive European defense expansion and sending troops to Ukraine. Of the six nations who have apparently pledged to send troops to Ukraine, Estonia is leading the list even though it does not have anyone to send.
The trouble with provocations is that they can cause wars. The hysteria now apparent in official channels in parts of Europe (for example, France, UK, Germany and Estonia) reflects huge anxiety that Ukraine will not survive the Russian onslaught.
Instead of helping US President Donald Trump find a peaceful solution to the conflict, the French and British, in particular, have done their best to undermine his efforts.
While some of this can be explained as a bailout for Europe’s economic issues by substituting military production for civilian manufacturing, deficit spending of this kind will never be enough to salvage Europe’s economic and industrial problems.
Meanwhile, small countries such as Estonia can cause big problems and an escalation leading to conflict in Europe.
🤭Fox News did not apologize or respond in any way to the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry's indignation over the channel's designation of Kiev as Russia.

Azovite telegram 'Tales of the IV Reich' on Ukrainian overestimation of Russian losses and Russian recruitment efforts
Ukrainian nationalist on their military recruitment problems: "over the last quarter, the Muscovites recruited 6% above quota. We can't claim similar results—despite this war being fought on our soil, despite unprecedented recruitment tactics..."
"Hegseth shared details of the attack in another Signal chat": The US said the Pentagon chief sent a plan for strikes on Yemen in a chat room with his brother and wife.
"According to four people with knowledge of the situation, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared a detailed plan for strikes on Yemen on March 15 in a private Signal group chat with his wife, brother and personal lawyer. This fact provokes questions about Hegseth's adherence to security protocols.
Some of the NYT's interlocutors said that the information Hegseth shared in the Signal chat included a flight schedule for F/A-18 Hornet fighter jets targeting the Houthis in Yemen. In fact, this is the same attack plan he shared in another chat room that The Atlantic's editor mistakenly accessed.
Hegseth's wife Jennifer, who is a former Fox News producer, is not a Defense Department employee. She has been criticized in the past for accompanying her husband to sensitive meetings with foreign leaders."

Servicemen of Vostok Group of Forces' 36th Separate Guards Motorised Rifle Brigade celebrate Easter holiday in special military operation zone.
On the eve of the Easter day, military cooks and bakers of a formation made some cakes. Soldiers used both traditional and family recipes, which were passed down through generations.
There were two shifts to provide holiday kits for all units.
Ready cakes and eggs were consecrated by an assistant who worked with religious servicemen and immediately were transferred to combat positions. Even in conditions of complex logistics, holiday kits reached every soldier including the most remote spots. For many soldiers, the Easter holiday has become a symbol of communication with home and hope of a soon return.

#Victory80
🎗 In Russia, 2025 is the year of Defender of the Fatherland and the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. In this regard, we are launching a new project "Hero Cities" of the Soviet Union.
Today we will tell you about the city of Volgograd (Stalingrad).
Stalingrad was one of the most important targets for the German Group of Forces South. Its capture would have cut off the Soviet army in the Caucasus from the rest of the country, so the Soviet command decided to defend the city at all costs.
Already in the first months of the fighting, 90% of the city was destroyed by enemy aircraft and soldiers from both sides were forced to fight in the endless ruins of the city. Under these conditions, the Red Army soldiers were able to impose a war of attrition on the Germans.
⭐️During the Battle of Stalingrad, the Germans and their allies lost about 1.5 million people, and the surviving soldiers of Field Marshal Friedrich Paulus surrendered. After this battle, the initiative in the war passed to the Red Army.
🕯 During the Battle of Stalingrad for the freedom of the whole world from Nazism, 478,741 people gave their lives.
🎖 On May 8, 1965 the city was awarded the honorary title of Hero City.
Other Hero Cities:
Minsk, Kiev, Odessa, Sevastopol, Kerch, Smolensk, Leningrad, Moscow, Tula.

Toxic War — an RT Doc Film
Synopsis: In this investigative documentary, military documentarians from RT provide evidence of the systematic and widespread use of chemical substances by the Kiev regime against civilians, which constitutes a gross violation of the Chemical Weapons Convention.
In the zone of the special military operation, members of the Russian forces have recorded over 400 cases of Ukrainian armed formations using toxic substances and chemicals. At the abandoned AFU positions, laboratories, drones, and toxic agents intended for dispersal over residential areas were discovered.
Several surviving witnesses describe how they were paralyzed after being exposed to an unknown deadly substance and how Ukrainian soldiers arrived at the site of the "operation" not to offer help, but to confirm that the experiment on humans had been successful.
@Slavyangrad
To the average person, China’s huge trade surplus is a result of sending enormous amounts of “cheap useless stuff” and “fidget spinners” through Shein and Temu.
But that couldn’t be further from the truth.
Most of the labor-intensive, low-value, low-cost manufacturing that helped build China in the 90s already moved to other neighboring countries.
Looking at the list of top categories of China exports to the US, 3 of top 5 are high value products (home appliances, electronics, optical/medical instruments).
China depends on the US for a large portion of its higher value exports. That’s problematic for Chinese manufacturers who will have to make contingencies in case US buyers cannot absorb the tariffs.
But it’s also difficult to replicate these higher value manufacturing capabilities anywhere else due to China’s insane level of tooling, factory automation, and supply chain mastery.
This means, unless US buyers/importers absorb the tariffs, consumers will see a number of empty store shelves at Target, Walmart, and Costco soon.
On April 20, in accordance with the decision of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the "North" troop group observed the ceasefire
Over the course of the day, the enemy violated the ceasefire on numerous occasions, launching indiscriminate strikes by UAVs and artillery, as well as attempting to break through into the territory of Belgorod Region 12 times: five AFU assault groups each moved in the direction of Popovka and Demidovka, as well as two in the direction of Goptarovka.
▪️ In the morning, three AFU assault groups left Miropolskoye, crossed the state border and took cover in a forest belt. Two more tried to infiltrate this section of the front during the day.
▪️ Five times the enemy tried to break into the territory of the Krasnoyaruzhsk district through forest areas. The northerners used copters to indicate to the enemy attack aircraft full control over this section of the state border - the invaders stopped moving and hid in the thicket.
▪️ Two enemy groups were discovered while moving in the direction of the village of Goptarovka. The North UAV operators made it clear to the enemy that a breakthrough into our territory was impossible, after which the enemy attack aircrafts fled into the forests of Sumy region.
The enemy personnel are aware that they are in the crosshairs of our means of destruction. Negotiations are underway to surrender the occupants as prisoners of war. Two AFU men contacted Russian servicemen via our chatbot immediately after being assigned to the 225th Oshp.
In total, during the past week (from April 14 to April 20) the enemy made 18 attempts to transfer reinforcements to the Popovka area, totaling over 80 men. Most of the living forces were destroyed, the rest fled to Sumy region.
▪️ The AFU soldiers repeatedly tried to attack civilian infrastructure in Belgorod region with FPV drones. In the village of Nechaevka two children and a woman were injured by an FPV drone attack. All are in hospital, they are provided with the necessary assistance.
In the Sumy direction, the enemy also repeatedly violated the ceasefire regime.
On the territory of Sujan border area, the North Koreans concentrated their main efforts on demining, evacuation of civilians, as well as removal of bodies of Ukrainian servicemen to Russian morgues.
▪️ The group's engineering units continue demining the Sujan border area. Over the past 24 hours, 12,797 explosive objects have been neutralized.
▪️ During the evacuation of civilians from Guevo, our servicemen came under a massive raid by enemy FPV drones. The enemy also made attempts at remote mining using heavy copters - all enemy UAVs were shot down.
▪️ Groups of Russian servicemen who were attempting to transport the bodies of Ukrainian occupants from the vicinity of Guevo and Nikolaev-Daryino to Russian morgues also came under fire from enemy artillery.
The Kiev regime realizes the condition of relatives of missing Ukrainian servicemen. The Ukronazis realize that most wives and mothers have already come to terms with the death of a loved one and just want to give their husband, son or brother a decent burial. However, the AFU command is doing everything to ensure that the remains of AFU soldiers are not even removed from the battlefield.
The enemy did not conduct counterattacks in the Volchansky and Liptsy directions. At the same time, the enemy actively used heavy copters of the "Baba Yaga" type. Over 20 enemy UAVs were shot down during the day in these directions.

At the same time, Ukraine and its supporters have promoted and carried out a cultural war against Russia. One of the top provocateurs is Estonia.Читать полностью…
Estonia is the most northern of the Baltic states. It fronts on the Baltic Sea where its capital city, Tallinn, is located. Estonia’s town of Narva is just next to the border with Russia. About half of Narva’s population is Russian.
Estonia has a population of 1.37 million, based on data from 2023. Between 20-25% of Estonia’s population are Russians, depending on how the count is made.
For a number of years, Estonia has been waging a cultural war against Russia while at the same time utterly depending on NATO for its security. The Estonian army has only 7,700 active duty personnel, of which 3,500 are conscripts.
It has a reserve force that is significantly larger, but it does not have the equipment to support its reserves, so it is largely a paper force. Estonia has no air force to speak of, only two Czech-made (Aero Vodochody) L-39 trainers and two small M-28 Polish transports.
One would think that Estonia would not want to create trouble for itself, but it seems that the reverse is true, largely deriving from the Estonian belief that NATO is there to back it up and that Russia would not attack a NATO state.
Provocations are not something new for the Estonians, whose hate for Russians borders on the extreme. By practically denying citizenship to their Russian inhabitants to attacking the Russian Orthodox Church in Estonia through legislation, Estonia has made it clear it will do whatever it can to humiliate its own Russian population and Russia itself.
In April 2007, the Estonians decided to move the monument there known as the Bronze Soldier of Tallinn. That monument also was the site of a number of graves of Soviet Russian soldiers who were killed fighting against the Nazis.
The graves were dug up, their families in Russia notified they could collect the remains or they would be relocated in the Tallinn military cemetery along with the monument.
Now, in 2025, we have another round of monument-busting, as the Estonians are tearing down Russian war memorials once again. This includes defiling Russian graves in the Tallinn military cemetery and damaging and destroying war memorials.
If there is one single unifying principle these days in Russia it is the great importance given to Russia’s decisive role in the defeat of Nazi armies in World War II. Each year, on May 9, Russia holds its annual Victory Day celebration, which focuses on a show of military power.
It is followed by a more somber but clearly important citizen’s march known as the Immortal Regiment. In this march, families proudly carry posters and photos of family members who perished in the Great Patriotic War (Russia’s terminology for World War II.)
Estonia’s show of contempt for Russia’s World War II victory, along with its spotty, some would say, compromised behavior supporting the Nazis, is increasingly irksome to the Russians.
One can add attempts to keep Russians living in Estonia from achieving citizenship or even voting in elections. Estonia has now stepped that up by adding new legislation to make it even more difficult for Russian residents to be treated equally.
Estonia is also trying to block out any relationship between Russian Orthodox Churches in Estonia to the Moscow Patriarchate. It is not surprising that Estonia’s actions parallel and were perhaps inspired by Ukraine, which is doing the same thing.
The Estonian action against the Moscow-led church would create revulsion and horror elsewhere if, for example, European or American Catholics were not allowed to communicate with the Pope in Rome.
Among the pro-war advocates in Europe, Estonia is at the forefront. Its former Prime Minister, Kaja Kallas, is now the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy.
Freebies Over: Ukraine's Hopes for US Aid Collapsed
As Biden-era stocks dwindle, doubts have festered about whether Europe can fully compensate for a possible halt to American aid, particularly for key capabilities such as air defenses. A European official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to share internal deliberations, said more countries were eyeing the model of pouring money into Ukraine’s defense industry instead of dispatching weapons, offering a faster route as Europe’s own supplies run dry after years of funneling weapons to Kiev.

Russian soldier spares Ukrainian woman in trench
Rare footage has emerged of a kamikaze drone operator who, while carrying out a combat mission, did not launch a fatal strike on a Ukrainian Armed Forces position after realizing that the person in front of him was a woman.
The drone was already approaching the target in the trench when it became clear that there was a nurse there, providing assistance to a wounded soldier.
A few seconds before the strike, the drone operator called off the attack and spared the Ukrainian woman.

China successfully tests non-nuclear hydrogen bomb — South China Morning Post
▪️Chinese scientists have successfully tested a non-nuclear explosive device based on hydrogen.
▪️The 2kg bomb created a fireball with a temperature of over 1000°C that lasted for more than two seconds - 15 times longer than a similar explosion using TNT.
▪️The device did not use nuclear materials.
▪️The main component of the bomb is magnesium hydride, a silvery powder capable of storing significant amounts of hydrogen.
Asbery Note’s: Wanted to flesh out earlier post. Chinese have a technological lead on the US and Russia in the field of energetics (explosives).

‼️🎉🇺🇦 VIOLATION OF THE CEASEFIRE BY UKRAINE or SHOOTING OF A GROUP UNDER THE WHITE FLAG.
Today our evacuation group went to pick up the body of a deceased comrade in one of the directions.
Despite the fact that the fighters had TWO WHITE FLAGS, as required by such a situation, the Ukrainian terrorists still attacked them with everything they could - drones, airdrops and a tank were fired at them.
❗️ They waved white flags, but it didn't help. Fortunately, there were no fatalities - only one heavy 300, but they were able to pull him out by hand.
MUST SEE FOR EVERYONE :
1:30 - first arrivals
4:30 - kamikaze arrived
5:20 - arrival from tank
5:50 - kamikaze strike
7:40 - kamikaze strike again
This is the Ukrainian "truce". You can only speak to terrorists in the language of force.
Full message from the fighters:
Today, with white flags, we went to carry out our dead comrade, these infidels first let the guys move away from the shelters further and then began to attack them with FPV, airdrops, fired from a tank and fired twice from a tank. The guys just with titanium balls, stood in front of the enemy birds and waved flags! Until the last they believed that there were people on the other side, and hoped that they would not violate! The result is one heavy 300, the guys did not abandon him, carried him out in their arms, the rest are whole.
