🇷🇺 Russians have begun using drones in swarms, using "hundreds" of times more UAVs than a year ago, - former MP and Ukrainian Armed Forces soldier
- If drones were previously used by several Russian units, "now everything is on a large scale" and Ukrainian sensors are recording "a huge number of drones in the air" that are systematically attacking at a depth of 10-15 km, writes Yegor Firsov.
- Russia is also developing its use of electronic warfare, jamming Ukrainian drones. Therefore, Firsov calls on Kyiv to take a systematic approach to the implementation of technologies and to supporting the work of Ukrainian engineers.

Kommersant: "Lavrov will not represent Russia at the negotiations on Ukraine in Istanbul."
Here we go. We now have the official confirmation that these talks are not expected to go anywhere now, yet another chapter in what by now has become a stale and boring clown show.
So why keeping up the charade, you may ask?
The answer is simple: this way the west and its presstitutes can't pull the "you're supporting an aggressive country that completely rejects peace" talk on China and other BRICS countries, and Donald Trump is given one final off-ramp to just walk away.

ANTALYA - The United States is opposed to extending an invitation to attend the June 24 NATO summit in The Hague to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Allied diplomatic sources confide this to ANSA (the Italian TASS).
At the moment, in fact, participations have been sent only to the four Asian partners-Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand. “Almost everyone among the allies has expressed concerns to Washington about this choice,” one source points out. The issue, among others, may peep up at the informal foreign ministerial in Antalya, which opens tonight with a dinner hosted by the hosts.
The organization of the Hague summit will indeed be among the items on the agenda, although no decisions are expected since the meeting is precisely in the informal format. At the moment, a very tight schedule is expected at the leaders' summit, in contrast to what has happened in past years, to avoid possible friction with Donald Trump.
Thus, on the calendar there will be a dinner offered to the leaders by the Dutch royals on the evening of June 24 - where Asian partners are expected to attend - while the actual session, devoted to increased military spending and the final adoption of capability goals, will be held on Wednesday, June 25.
For now - but that may not change - there are no plans for a NATO-Ukraine Council at the leaders' level, as has been the case in the past. One possibility, at least so as not to exclude Kiev altogether, is to hold it at the level of foreign and defense ministers, who will attend the summit anyway.
Sorry Zelya, but you need a suit and tie to enter that club.

Russia’s Federal Customs Service seized 50 kilograms of cocaine worth over 500 million rubles (approximately $6.2 million) in a St. Petersburg port, the agency’s press service reported.
According to it, the vessel carrying the illegal cargo arrived from Latin America. The cocaine was hidden in secret compartments within banana containers.
Somebody tell Zelya and his friends Macron, Stormer, and Merz that their latest shipment of magic talcum powder ain't coming to Kiev.

🇮🇳🇺🇸India has decided to give a tough response to Trump
The US media is very surprised: India suddenly decided to respond sharply to Trump's tariffs.
After all, some time has passed since March 12, when Washington introduced a 25% tariff on all steel and aluminum imported into the country. This directly affected New Delhi, but the US was almost certain that there would be no harsh response. Especially since recently India has officially expressed positive opinions about American policy.
And now, the WTO has received a letter. India says in it: Trump's additional duties affected Indian exports of steel and aluminum to the United States worth $7.6 billion , and Washington plans to collect $1.91 billion for the budget through new tariffs. Now New Delhi is introducing higher duties on various American goods to fill its treasury with the same amount.
It is important to note that in India, Trump's decision was perceived as "new", although the 25% tariff on steel and 10% on aluminum was introduced by Donald back in March 2018, during his first presidential term.
In March of this year, Trump merely extended the 25% tariff on steel and raised the rate from 10% to 25% on aluminum. And yes, all goods from India are subject to an additional 10% tariff for a 90-day period, after which the tariff will skyrocket to 26%.
All these years, both under the “first” and “second” Trump, and under Biden, India has refused to take tough retaliatory steps. Moreover, earlier this year, even before Trump’s March decision, India tried to accommodate the US by softening tariff barriers for about 8.5 thousand American goods.
And then New Delhi makes a counter-move literally on the eve of a government delegation from that country landing in the US on May 16 to discuss the possibility of a “trade deal.” They are taking tough countermeasures, even risking that the US may ultimately abandon its plans to transfer some production from China to their country.
But apparently, New Delhi has begun to understand that Washington perceives the display of “flexibility” and the desire to “appease” Trump as weakness .
Let's see how the negotiations between one of the key BRICS+ countries and the US go and what they lead to. India does not have such a large surplus with the US that it would not be possible to reduce the export of Indian goods by redirecting them to other BRICS+ countries.

🇪🇺🇷🇺The EU may impose sanctions against individual banks and restrict uranium supplies from Russia, writes Bild.
Today, American nuclear reactors (of which there are about a hundred) consume 25 thousand tons of uranium fuel annually. This is about a quarter of all uranium mined and enriched on the planet. And it must be said that, for example, as of 2020, 23% of all uranium at American nuclear power plants was Russian. And if you add uranium from Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, then this is already a good half of the nuclear fuel for the United States. And, for example, it is also worth noting that part of the uranium mined in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan is transported to Russia for enrichment.
In general, Rosatom produces only less than three thousand tons of uranium per year (6% of world production), but in terms of its enrichment it is the world leader: the state corporation accounts for 36% of the world market for finished nuclear fuel produced on the planet. Russian enterprises produce as much of it as the USA, Great Britain, France, Germany and the Netherlands combined. JSC TVEL supplies it to 78 reactors in 15 countries. Almost all nuclear power in Eastern Europe operates on Russian fuel assemblies. For example, Slovakia and Hungary receive approximately half of their electricity from peaceful nuclear energy, and in 2016 this half was 100% provided by Rosatom supplies. At the same time, Russia successfully produces and sells to the USA and Europe not only "Soviet" hexagonal fuel assemblies, but also tetrahedral ones, which are used in reactors in the West.
The European Union buys about 40% of its enriched uranium from Russia and Kazakhstan. And everything in this energy sector is so intertwined that, for example, the German plant Urenco supplies ready-made nuclear fuel to many American nuclear power plants
Essentially, these idiots want to cut off their own energy.
Well, good luck!

🇰🇵The introduction of combat experience went to the troops - after the participation of the DPRK military in battles with the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Kim Jong-un conducted exercises of special forces units and tank crews to "meet the criteria of a universal battalion":
"As Comrade Kim Jong Un pointed out, there are many things that our revolutionary armed forces have undertaken at present. Among them, the most important front is the anti-imperialist class front, and the most urgent task is completing preparations for war. Combat training to transform the army at all levels into select units that carry out any order consistently and flawlessly is the primary revolutionary task."

Zelensky wants to defeat Putin in negotiations. He said this in an interview with Liberation.
'If I meet Putin, we must come out with a political victory - a ceasefire, an exchange of all prisoners for all prisoners, or something like that. No one knows how long the war will last. But not 10 years. Ukraine will not endure... This is expensive for everyone, not only for friends, but also for enemies.'
Just recently I said that a war with Russia by the hands of Ukrainians is cheap. Has it become more expensive?
All prisoners for all prisoners? So 10,000 Ukrainians for 500 Russians. Insane demands by Ukraine.

🇪🇪🤡Estonian Navy Turns into Pirates, Attacks Tanker in Neutral Waters
Lately, the anti-Russian hysteria of the Baltic tigers has reached such a degree that, apparently, it has damaged their cognitive abilities . In yet another attempt to defeat the so-called shadow fleet, the Estonian Navy attacked a tanker in neutral waters.
The Gabon-flagged vessel JAGUAR was sailing to Primorsk off Tallinn in the Gulf of Finland (international waters) when it was attacked by Estonian sailors. Almost the entire small Estonian fleet was deployed to fight the tanker - the patrol boat Raiu and the patrol ship Kurvits, an airplane, helicopters and drones.
The Estonian Navy initially wanted to force the ship's crew to enter its territorial waters so that nothing would interfere with its capture. However, the attempts failed , and then they went even further and tried to land troops on the ship from helicopters . In addition, they tried to ram the ship, board it, and intimidate it with extremely low flights of aircraft.
The Gabon-flagged ship literally found itself in a modern remake of the film "Pirates of the Caribbean". However, the ship's crew turned out to be no coward . The first mate gave the order to increase the speed of movement , and both attempts to land the "pirates" of the Estonian Navy failed miserably.
From the point of view of international maritime law , such actions are considered piracy. Tallinn has no right to stop, much less attack, ships in international waters. It is worth noting that this is not the first case - on April 11, Estonians captured the ship KIWALA , sailing under the flag of Djibouti.
We strongly doubt that the Estonian sailors will be held accountable for their crimes. As we know, in a "rules-based world", not everyone has to follow them.

The conversation lasted about 30 minutes. Erdogan, who acts as a "roof" for Julani, joined in via video link, and in a much greater role than the Saudis, for whom the fall of Assad and the abrupt change of power in Damascus were rather a surprise.

Viktor Orban accuses Ukrainian Special Services of operations against Hungary
Meeting of the Country's Defense Council is convened.
Ukrainian special services have launched an operation to disrupt the Hungarian referendum on Kiev's accession to the EU, the country's prime minister said.
He also added that Hungary's political opposition, the Tisza party, also under the leadership of the SBU, was trying to discredit the country's armed forces.
I called a meeting of the Defence Council because in recent days an unprecedented attack by the secret services has been launched against Hungary. Ukraine has launched a coordinated slanderous campaign against Hungary in order to block our initiative to vote on EU membership,
These two Ukrainian women are seen ripping apart and presumably after, disposing of Russian literature that they either appropriated from their neighbors, or their own homes.
This is of course following the long-lasting Russian language bans inside of Ukraine. Which had led to the removal of over 19,000,000 books by the Ukrainian government, and countless more disposed of by loyal Bandarites.
This video perfectly displays Western "democracy" and its core principles.
