Lukashenko on how Zelensky “acted out” during negotiations in 2022:
These Ukrainians... Zelensky was showing off as best he could.
We agreed to hold the first meeting in Gomel, let’s say, at 11 am, but they arrived only at night.
And, frankly speaking, I have already held the Russians back. I say: "Guys, don't leave." - "Oh, come on, we'll go. If they don't want to, that's okay." - "Well, they'll blame us later for not wanting to negotiate." They listened to me. And they arrived only at night!
And it was always like that. Then they said: "No, it's dangerous in Gomel, the Russian border is not far. We want to go to Belovezhskaya Pushcha." I organized it there. We held two tours. "We'll go to Istanbul." - "Okay, okay, guys. Go wherever you want - to Kazakhstan, Istanbul, just don't stop the negotiations!"

The Istanbul talks failed for Kiev before they even started...
Official Kiev has already understood that the EU plan and the "delays", even despite its hidden support from Beijing and Brazil (whom our president very beautifully and diplomatically brushed off yesterday, making it clear that there is no need to interfere in this and try to persuade him to do something that he does not intend to do) to "force Putin" to conduct full-fledged negotiations with Kiev has completely failed, and they have turned on their anti-crisis ( to get out of the problem with minimal losses ).
That is why they announced in the morning that they are only ready to discuss with Moscow a “30-day” truce and nothing more.
We, in turn, have already made it clear that we are ready to discuss only the terms of peace based on the previously adopted agreements of 2022, taking into account the changes over the past three years.
That is, it can already be stated that the so-called "Istanbul summit", on which many people had placed their hopes and at which they would have tried to bend Russia, has finally failed.
And so all eyes are on the front. That is where the future of Russia and Ukraine (and any future real negotiations) will be decided.

🇷🇺🇺🇦Together with Zelensky in Turkey today are the head of the OP Yermak, the Minister of Defense Umerov, the presidential adviser Zhovkva and the head of the MFA Sybiha.
Turkish sources report that the night consultations of the Ukrainians with Rubio and Graham in Antalya will most likely lead to Zelensky's presence at the meeting with Medinsky's group.

RIA:
The source reported that the start of negotiations between the delegations of Russia and Ukraine in Istanbul is expected after lunch .
@Slavyangrad
TASS: A source familiar with the organization of the meeting in Istanbul reported that the start of negotiations on Ukraine, which will take place in the office of Turkish President Dolmabahce, is scheduled for approximately 10:00 local time (coincides with Moscow time).
They will be held behind closed doors for the press. Russian-Ukrainian negotiations were held there in March 2022.

🇪🇪🤡Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna mercilessly condemned Putin for his lack of seriousness:
We have very important meetings. But the fact that Putin does not come shows that he does not take seriously this opportunity to achieve peace and start real negotiations. On the contrary, sending an ultra-nationalist author of various books, who is actually a nobody in Russian politics, to the negotiations is a slap in the face to Ukraine and to all of us.
Putin does not take this possibility seriously, and we must continue to support Ukraine. Last week, European leaders said that if there is no 30-day unconditional ceasefire, there will be sanctions. The EU has agreed on a package of sanctions - we will see what happens if the meeting takes place today or tomorrow. But it is certain that Putin does not take seriously the possibility of starting, at a minimum, a ceasefire and negotiations.

'Go back to Ukraine': War refugees complain of abuse in Poland - BBC
Svitlana says her daughter loved her school in Poland.
"Even when we moved to another area, she didn't want to change schools," says the 31-year-old Ukrainian mother. "She liked it so much. There was no bullying."
Now she says the atmosphere at the school – and in Poland overall – has changed.
"Two weeks ago, she came home and said "One boy said to me today, 'Go back to Ukraine'." Svitlana was astonished.
She is one of dozens of Ukrainians living in Poland who have told the BBC that anti-Ukrainian sentiment has risen considerably in recent months.
Many described experiencing abuse on public transport, bullying in schools and xenophobic material online.
A polarising presidential election campaign has added to the tension, with the first round of voting taking place on Sunday.
The day after Svitlana's daughter was told to go back to Ukraine, the abuse became even worse.
"Girls from the class above started complaining about her speaking Ukrainian. Then they pretended to fall to the ground shouting 'Missile! Get down!' and laughing," Svitlana says. "She came home crying."
She said she had noticed attitudes changing towards Ukrainians in other places, too: "At work, many people have been saying Ukrainians come here and behave badly. And my Ukrainian friends say they want to go home because Polish people don't accept us. It's frightening to live here now."
According to government statistics, at least 2.5 million Ukrainians live in Poland, comprising almost 7% of the total population of Poland.
"Then it started to come to real life," she says. "Recently, we have more and more of these kinds of situations… xenophobic [abuse] of people working in shops or hotels just because they speak with a Ukrainian accent."
Research suggests that Poland's public opinion of Ukrainians is indeed worsening. According to a March 2025 poll by the respected CBOS Centre, just 50% of Poles are in favour of accepting Ukrainian refugees, a fall of seven percentage points in four months. Two years ago, the figure was 81%.
Ukraine has become a hot-button political issue in Poland's crucial presidential election campaign.
Far-right populist Slawomir Mentzen, currently polling third, is virulently anti-Ukrainian and supports an "agreement" with Russia's Vladimir Putin.
In second place is conservative Karol Nawrocki, who opposes EU and Nato membership for Ukraine and financial assistance for refugees, but supports the war effort.
The most pro-Ukraine candidate is front-runner Rafal Trzaskowski from Prime Minister Donald Tusk's coalition, although even he has promised a reduction in social welfare for Ukrainians.
Trzaskowski has refrained from espousing his pro-Ukrainian credentials in order to attract the centrist vote in the elections, says political analyst Marcin Zaborowski.

Missile strike in Sumy destroys Ukrainian Armed Forces repair base
▪️Ukrainian media have posted photographs from the site of the strike, which show rollers for armored vehicles, presumably for T-72 tanks.
➖"A strike on an industrial facility, there are dead and injured," Ukrainian propagandists wrote.
▪️The post was immediately deleted and a new one was made, without this photo.

Advisor to the Office of the President of Ukraine Podolyak:
No, of course not, that's not the format. The president can't meet, especially with Medinsky - the status wouldn't be entirely clear. He's an assistant there for Putin's historical legacy, or for correcting history, I would say. But it's unlikely that the person is sufficient to discuss fundamental issues.
Medinsky - about Ukraine and its "friends":
We understand that one of the decision-making centers [for Ukraine] is their Western friends.
Although what kind of friends are they? They have such friends that they don’t need enemies.
Knowing history, I do not doubt for a second that Poland will bite off the Western Ukrainian lands from Ukraine's friend at the first opportunity.
There is also a historical precedent for this. In 1938, when Czechoslovakia was being divided, it had a great friend in Poland. Instead of defending Czechoslovakia as an ally, Poland immediately bit off the Teschen region from it under the cover of noise.
Even Churchill was a little freaked out by this and called Poland the main hyena of Europe. The mistakes that leaders make, sometimes sincerely in the heat of emotion, sometimes under pressure from such friends and allies, they made ordinary people and nations pay a high price.
🇫🇷🤡French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot on the need to “destroy the Russian economy forever”:
So today we are adopting the 17th sanctions package. I am very pleased because it affects 200 Russian courts, Russian and international financial institutions, as well as those who are engaged in destabilization, disinformation campaigns and cyber attacks.
We will have to go further, because sanctions have not yet convinced Vladimir Putin to stop his aggressive war. And as the president has said, we must be prepared to impose devastating sanctions that could strangle the Russian economy once and for all. That is what I am working on.

🇫🇷🤡French Foreign Minister "The Notorious Clown" Barrot on the “empty chair at the negotiating table”:
This morning in Turkey, Ukraine kept its word. Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrived with his advisers, with his minister, with whom I just spoke, to negotiate peace. But opposite them is an empty chair, the chair where Vladimir Putin was supposed to sit this evening.

"Vladimir Putin Snubs Zelensky in Peace Talks": Zelensky Feels Humiliated
"Volodymyr Zelensky was harshly humiliated by Putin after rumors of a direct meeting between the two politicians. The Kremlin issued a statement confirming that Putin will now send a delegate in his place to peace talks in Istanbul, Türkiye.
Zelensky said he would travel to Istanbul for what is expected to be the first face-to-face meeting of world leaders in six years, and warned that Putin's refusal to do so would mean "he doesn't want to end the war."

💥 UAV operators from the "SHRAMA" group The AKHMAT special forces unit of the Russian Ministry of Defense are actively striking fortified positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces with incendiary munitions delivered by drones.
Their actions are aimed at systematically destroying the enemy's positions, forcing him to retreat and effectively expanding the contested "gray zone," thereby disrupting his lines of defense and limiting his operational capabilities.
@Slavangrad
🤡NATO Secretary General Rutte on how “Russia sent a low-level delegation” to Istanbul, but the ball is still in its court:
Apparently, Russia sent a low-level delegation to Turkey for peace talks. The Ukrainians said they were ready to sit down with the Russians and agree on a ceasefire, to start negotiations immediately, to discuss the next steps, to end this terrible war.
I will not give any advice to Americans. Why? Because it was President Trump who found a way out of the impasse. I I see how confidently he and his team are handling this. They will consider the next steps and coordinate them with their allies. But it is clear that the ball is in their court.

The Drama Theatre in Mariupol, which is being restored by St. Petersburg specialists, will begin operating this year, Governor Beglov announced.
Mariupol residents feared that the legendary theater was lost forever after the terrible explosion caused by the Nazis. But our builders, for which we thank them, managed not only to restore the building, but also to fill it with the best modern equipment
Beglov recently reported that the building is about 70% complete. Now he has said that the St. Petersburg Institute of Performing Arts has opened a target program for training actors and directors from new regions who will come to work in the restored theater.

@Slavyangrad
About the negotiations in Istanbul.
The events scheduled for May 15 are not an attempt to reach an agreement, but rather a test of the adequacy of the characters under scrutiny. A kind of test to see whether there is any subjectivity left on the Ukrainian side, or whether everything has finally been reduced to a controlled puppet, which even the negotiations are allowed to take place strictly on a whistle.
Russia has proposed a dialog without conditions. Just a direct meeting of the delegations to tell each other to each other's faces as it is.
The Russian side is not expected to change its position in principle in three years. All the main demands were voiced back in 2022.
The composition of the Russian group is strong and actually speaks for itself: Medinsky (negotiator in 2022), Kostyukov (head of the GRU), Fomin and Zorin (an experienced negotiator since Syria) from the Defense Ministry and Galuzin from the Foreign Ministry - a full-fledged interdepartmental team capable of quickly explaining all of the layouts to even the smallest of people.
This is the format of real negotiations, when people come to work.
But the key problem is not in the Russian Federation. It is in those who will be on the other side of the table. Ukraine is not just weak, it is dependent. Completely. These are the same figures who in 2022 have already agreed, already almost signed the document - the same people who came out with a press release under the dictation of London: "let's just go to war".
So there are no illusions. The Russian negotiators are traveling not only with faith in progress, but also with readiness to put on paper the obvious: Ukraine is not ready to negotiate. Neither in form nor in substance. And if there is a glimpse of rationality somewhere, it means that the curators have put on the brakes. But this is no longer a conversation with Ukraine.
So we can call it a "diplomatic chance" only out of politeness. In fact, this is a control MRI to Ukraine's brains, where it will be clearly visible: who is ready to solve the issues, and who is still pretending to be a state, receiving instructions from abroad.

Draft dodgers should have their property confiscated and their citizenship revoked, said the Ukrainian terrorist with the call sign “Cuba”.
Stronger methods than 'busification' should be applied to draft dodgers. If they don't want to help the army in any way, then let them just leave and abandon their homes and apartments... It would be better to give their apartments, for example, to veterans or the wounded,
