The Kremlin and the White House do not consider Zelensky a key participant in the negotiations to resolve the conflict — Publico
▪️The dominant role of the United States in the negotiation process between Russia and Ukraine and the possible meeting between Trump and Putin again put Kiev in the position of an observer.
▪️The talks in Istanbul did not produce tangible results, but they underscored the growing importance of the United States as a mediator.
▪️Trump and Secretary of State Rubio have made it clear that progress toward peace is only possible through direct dialogue between Washington and Moscow.
▪️Ukraine plays a secondary role in this formula and is forced to act under pressure from its European allies.

I heavily hinted that you all will miss Jorge Bergoglio. Here you have Leo. At least the handshake suggests that he is not long for his post.
Even the mottos are telling:
“Miserando atque eligendo (“By having mercy and by choosing")
vs.
In illo Uno unum ("In the One, [we are] one")
One is human, the other—decadent. A Pope is human, first and foremost. To pretend otherwise is heresy. The lack of humility will be his undoing.
Merz wants to speak with Trump before his conversation with Putin
Berlin, May 18-Ria Novosti. The German chancellor Friedrich Mertz plans to speak again with the President of the United States Donald Trump on the eve of a possible telephone conversation of the American leader with the Russian president Vladimir Putin, writes the German newspaper Bild, citing Mietz's comment on journalists. Trump said the day before on Monday he plans to keep a telephone conversation with the Russian president.
"We have agreed that, in preparation for this dialogue, we will talk once again - four heads of state and government - with the President of the United States", cites the daily comment of Mertz to journalists in Rome. The German Chancellor added that it can only be hoped that further progress will now be accomplished.
According to him, he has already discussed with the American secretary of state Marco Rubio a possible telephone conversation between Trump and Putin, announced by the President of the United States.
On Friday, the edition of "Ukrainskaya Pravda", citing the spokesman for Vladimir Zelensky Sergei Nikiforov, wrote that Zelensky, Merz, the French president Emmanuel Macron, the British Prime Minister Kir Starmer and the Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk had a telephone conversation with Trump during a meeting in Albania.
Previously, the spokesman for the president of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov told journalists that a meeting is necessary between the presidents of Russia and the United States, a serious conversation on international issues is needed, including the Ukrainian crisis. He observed that the meeting at the top should be prepared and effective, and this is always preceded by interviews of experts, consultations, "a long preparation tense".
The four horsemen of the EUpocalypse trying to sabotage the peace process again. How predictable.

Merz stated the EU is not discussing sending troops to Ukraine - it is "beyond political reality."
According to the German Chancellor, there is no need to talk about this topic at this stage, writes the Italian agency Agenzia Nova.
Earlier, Trump's envoy Kellogg stated that the US, as part of the Ukrainian settlement, is discussing the deployment of forces from Great Britain, France, Germany and Poland to the west of the Dnepr.
After this, the Polish Foreign Ministry said that Warsaw would not send its troops to Ukraine, even if Western countries did so.

EUROPEANS SCRAMBLE TO TALK TO TRUMP BEFORE HE CALLS PUTIN
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz says Europe’s top leaders—Germany, Britain, France, and Poland—are rushing to brief Trump before he talks to Putin on Monday.
Merz announced the plan after chatting with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio at Pope Leo XIV’s inauguration in the Vatican, because apparently even papal masses double as geopolitical strategy sessions now.
The concern?
Europe wants a united front before Trump dials Moscow.
Merz also had a long talk with Zelensky, who probably doesn’t love the idea of Trump and Putin having a one-on-one call without a little context first.
This comes just as the war in Ukraine grinds on into its 3rd year, with U.S. support wavering and Europe deeply invested—militarily, politically, and financially.
Translation: the stakes are high, and nobody wants any surprises from Trump’s next phone call.

I do not think there is a united front. European leaders are clearly in a panic and are desperate to get a ceasefire.

Video of a Su-34E in desert camouflage has arrived. And it's more red than brown.
A large batch of aircraft is being prepared for delivery to one of the African countries.
The Su-34E differs from the latest Su-34 modifications supplied to the VKS by its improved electronic countermeasures system. The main systems remain unchanged.
And, of course, the export modification cannot use weapons with SBC.

🇵🇱🤡"Polish Foreign Minister - China can end the war": Sikorski accused Beijing of not wanting to end the conflict.
"Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski has called on China to advocate an end to Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine and to pressure Russia to that end.
"The country that could end the war and put Putin on the spot is China," Sikorski told the Tagesspiegel newspaper. According to the minister, Russia is "China's economic vassal."
"If China threatened a trade embargo, Russia would be forced to comply." However, Russian President Vladimir Putin is playing it safe and is serious about his intention to subjugate all of Ukraine, Sikorski said. "He remains convinced that he can win."

▪️Coordinated work of assault groups, artillery crews and UAV operators destroyed enemy fortifications, defensive structures and fire weapons.
▪️Air support and precise strikes on identified targets made it possible to significantly weaken the defense of Ukrainian militants.
▪️After suppressing the main centers of resistance, our fighters cleared the territory and established full control over the settlement.
@Slavyangrad
To be clear:
This is where things actually stand but given what we’ve seen and Romania’s critical location for EU/NATO there is a giant hand at work to rig this.
Similar story with Moldova, Simion is winning in Romania by 5% but overseas ballots is losing by a good margin. Much easier to rig elections with poorly monitored election booths in the rest of Europe.

Russia plans to launch Yars intercontinental ballistic missile tonight to intimidate Kiev and NATO, - GUR of Ukraine
▪️This will be a training and combat launch of the RS-24 from the Yars complex. 😱The goal is to pressure and intimidate Ukraine, as well as EU and NATO member states, - Ukrainian intelligence says.
▪️Launch location - area near the settlement of Svobodny, Sverdlovsk region.
▪️The flight range of such a missile is more than 10,000 km.
▪️The GUR does not specify the target for which the launch will be carried out. But, given that the intelligence service characterizes the launch not as a training one, but as a training and combat one, it is possible that they mean a launch against Ukraine, Kiev media write.
Tests of ICBMs occur on a regular basis, for example a “Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile is scheduled between 12:01 to 5:01 a.m. Pacific Time, May 21, from north Vandenberg.” It has noting to do with intimidation or Ukraine.

LEADING PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE DIRECTLY ACCUSES MACRON OF ELECTION INTERFERENCE!
In my interview with Presidential Candidate George Simion, he unleashed a groundbreaking allegation:
"Any business related to French investment is pressured to threaten the employees that, if they do not vote for the pro-LGBT mayor of Bucharest, they will be fired.
They tried to meddle with our currency, to weaponize the justice system, they disguise themselves as democrats.
I feel sorry for Emmanuel [Macron]."
And hours ago, Telegram’s founder claimed that a Western European Government — hints that it's France — asked it to block conservative voices in Romania ahead of today’s presidential election.
Let that sink in.

✍️ Inside Soros’ forgotten 1993 plan to breath new life into NATO at Russia’s expense
In his piece ‘Toward a New World Order: The Future of NATO’, Soros admitted that the USSR’s demise deprived the Western bloc of its reason for being. So he came up with a new one: a NATO world policeman acting through a combo of soft power and military might.
💬 “There is no direct threat” from ex-Eastern Bloc nations to NATO, Soros wrote. “The danger is within the region, and it concerns conditions within states as much as relationships between states. Therefore, if NATO has any mission at all, it is to project its power and influence into the region, and the mission is best defined in terms of open and closed societies.”
💬 “Incidentally, the combination of manpower from Eastern Europe with the technical capabilities of NATO could greatly enhance the military potential of the Partnership because it would reduce the risk of body bags for NATO countries, which is the main constraint on their willingness to act,” Soros wrote.
