🇺🇸🇷🇺'We need to find leverage' - Former Pentagon chief Robert Gates believes that Trump is not yet ready for a personal meeting with Putin
- Would you advise President Trump not to hold this face-to-face meeting, even if Vladimir Putin was ready for it?
- I would say that you need to find leverage before meeting him. What can you do to increase the pressure on Putin, to make him believe that it is in his interests not just to conclude a truce, but in fact at least to freeze the situation at the current stage.

The butchers of the TCC begin to work "on a civilian basis". The efficiency of busification increases sharply. The "volunteer" realizes what is happening only at the very last moment.
All that remains is to wait for the mobilization of women. And then anyone can drag any woman anywhere in broad daylight. They say it's mobilization.

US-backed forces seize strategic air base in heart of Syria
The Free Syrian Army (FSA), which is supported by the United States, announced on May 17 that it had taken over a strategic air base located in the heart of Syria.
Al-Sin is located approximately 140 kilometers southwest of the ancient city of Palmyra and 90 kilometers northeast of the capital, Damascus. It contains 36 fortified airstrips and two runways, one three kilometers long and the other two and a half kilometers long.
The air base, one of the largest in the country, was home to several squadrons of the former Syrian Arab Air Force, including those using upgraded Soviet MiG-29 fighter jets.
The SFA shared several photos from Al-Sina, two showing their fighters guarding the main gate of the air base and central headquarters, and others showing them collecting ammunition.

The Russian Army liberates Romanovka, west of Dzerzhinsk (Toretsk).
This maneuver opens the path to taking down, from the rear, the stubborn Ukrainian resistance in the strongpoints of Scherbinka and Petrovka, which has been delaying the liberation of Dzerzhinsk.

The EU should lobby global partners to step up pressure on Moscow to agree to a Ukraine ceasefire, according to a letter backed by over half of its member states.
The diplomatic push follows recent truce talks in Turkey – the first face-to-face meeting between Ukraine and Russia in years – which failed to yield even a temporary ceasefire due to Moscow's unwillingness to engage at the leadership level.
"Against this backdrop, the EU has a strategic interest in ramping up global support for a ceasefire proposal," Austria’s Foreign Minister Beate Meinl-Reisinger wrote in the letter, seen by Euractiv.
The letter will be sent to the EU’s top diplomat, Kaja Kallas, on Monday and is expected to be discussed when the bloc’s foreign ministers meet in Brussels on Tuesday.
Vienna’s initiative currently has the backing of 15 other EU countries, with more expected to sign on to the call for Kallas "to lead the way in coordinating a renewed targeted and joint global diplomatic outreach effort".
"Many countries maintain close relations with Moscow, which could and should be leveraged to increase diplomatic pressure on Russia," Meinl-Reisinger wrote in the letter.
"This outreach must run in both directions and take on board the specific situation and concerns of the countries in those regions," the letter stated.
Tall order?
While the letter does not single out specific countries, several EU diplomats highlighted that heavyweights such as India, China, and Brazil are key targets for increased diplomatic outreach to sway Russia.
The signatories advocate for the EU’s 144 EU delegations around the world to take a more active role in lobbying partner countries and to lean on Moscow for a ceasefire.
Convincing key players in the Global South, however, has proved a tall order for Brussels over the past three years.
Not going to happen, EU is isolated from the world.

Nobody's favourite Baltic chihuahua Estonia is apparently ready to send a company-sized force to Ukraine, which effectively accounts for half of their entire army.
Of course, they'll do so only if the USA will join in too.

Vladimir Putin believes he has a strong hand ahead of a phone call Monday with Donald Trump and European leaders are trying to prevent the US president from rushing through a deal.
Putin is confident that his forces can break through Ukraine’s defenses by the end of the year to take full control of four regions that he has claimed for Russia, according to a person familiar with the Russian president’s thinking who asked not to named discussing private conversations.
That means the Russian president is unlikely to offer any meaningful concessions to Trump when the two leaders speak and European officials are worried that Trump may try to force through a settlement regardless.
The US president has been pushing for a quick end to a war that is now deep into its fourth year and has backed himself to unlock a deal in a direct conversation with Putin. The Russian leader, for his part, has given no indication that he’s ready to stop fighting as his troops slowly grind forward on the battlefield and that’s fueled concern in Kyiv and other European capitals that Ukraine could be pushed into giving up more ground.
“Unfortunately where we are in the war, you don’t see strong incentives for Russia to agree to a ceasefire,” Michael Kofman, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment, said at a conference in Tallinn, Estonia, Sunday.
Despite all the talk about ending the fighting, Putin is ready for a protracted war if that is what is required to achieve his goals and he is sanguine about the prospect of further US sanctions, according to two other people close to the Kremlin.
“Trump wants Putin to agree to a truce but he absolutely doesn’t want to,” said Sergei Markov, a political consultant with close ties to the Kremlin. “But Putin isn’t interested in a collapse of the talks. He’s trying to maneuver so that these negotiations continue alongside the military offensive.”
On a call Friday, Merz, Macron and Starmer tried to make it clear to Trump that Putin has been stringing him along, according to one senior European official. They are hoping that Trump will realize that he risks looking like a loser if he forces a bad deal on Ukraine, the official added.
Zelensky was also on the Friday call but he seemed despondent and exhausted by the week’s developments, the official said. Zelensky and his European allies believed they had a commitment from Trump to hit the Kremlin with fresh sanctions if Putin refused to observe a ceasefire from last Monday, but that hasn’t materialized.

Trump, meanwhile, held a follow up call Sunday with Merz, Starmer, Macron and Meloni. The leaders discussed the need for an unconditional ceasefire and for Putin to take peace talks seriously, according to a spokeswoman for Starmer.
Why so desperate for a ceasefire? What happened to as long as it takes?

The Guardian: Stubb tried to prove to Trump that Russia is not a great power.
Finnish President Alexander Stubb, during a telephone conversation with American leader Donald Trump, tried to prove that Russia had ceased to be a great power. This was reported by The Guardian.
"This is not a country that can still be considered as a major power," the newspaper quoted the politician as saying.
In addition, the head of the Finnish state stated that the perception of the world of the leader of the United States is supposedly at the level of concepts of the 19th century.
In early 2024, Finnish journalist Kostya Heiskanen told REN TV that Finland was suffering from Russophobia. According to him, residents of the country working at defense enterprises are staging mass strikes.
In turn, Russian presidential aide Nikolai Patrushev drew attention to the fact that Finland is once again becoming a springboard for potential Western aggression, but now under the auspices of NATO.
Finland itself denies the fact of Russophobia, moreover, Finns seek to restore their ties with Russians in the future. For example, President Alexander Stubb said that Helsinki needs to mentally prepare for the restoration of relations with Moscow, since Russia has always been and will always be a neighbor for the Finns.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, commenting on Stubb's statement, noted that Finland needs to take concrete steps and actions to restore relations. The diplomat recalled that the Russian side perfectly remembers the statements of the Finnish authorities that the Russian government allegedly understands only the language of force.
SLG note: Schroedinger's Russia. On one hand it has the most nuclear warheads of the world, on the other it's a has-been remnant of a superpower.

'The tanks have finally begun their long sea voyage to the battlefield. Australian officials have not said when the Abrams will arrive in Ukraine for security reasons.

VP Vance: "We want to see Russia put their real peace proposal on the table."
That's funny Vance, they've been putting their proposal for peace on the table since 2024 minimum. By now I would forgive the guys at the Kremlin for having lost their patience at how often they've reiterated themselves.
Mister eyeliner then goes on to say that Russia "would benefit greatly from thawing relations with the rest of the world", perhaps ignoring that only the USA and Europe are sanctioning Russia. The rest of the word isn't, especially the other BRICS countries.
I don't know why, but I have the feeling that the leadership in Washington still hasn't come to terms with the reality, and that this phone call between Trump and Putin won't go very far beyond some generic platitudes.

Hillary was among those who ignited the “superpredator” hysteria that resulted in the wave of incarceration against African-American youths.
Now she is suggesting that it is the job of economic migrants (documented and undocumented alike) to make babies for the US.
There is nothing inconsistent here. Hillary always was a sociopath who does not feel social boundaries. This is just her racist attitude toward non-White groups coming through, yet again, just couched in different language convenient for the political zeitgeist.
Everything to promote the Hillary brand. Everyone else, but primarily people who look different that she does, is fair game.

Trump is open to a possible meeting with Putin, but it is better to wait for the results of their conversation, the White House stated.
As well, they specified that Trump will call Zelensky as soon as his phone conversation with Putin ends.
Trump is also expected to make public statements following his call with Putin and subsequent call with Zelensky.

Zelensky was going to create a scandal similar to the one in the White House at the summit with Putin — Publico
▪️Moscow did not fall into this "media trap".
▪️Kiev has shown shortsightedness in betting on diplomacy based on Zelensky's theatrics. His productions are successful in Europe, but have no chance in Russia.
▪️Zelensky's plan to meet with Putin was doomed from the start. He ignored the rules of any peace process that require initial contacts between lower-level teams, especially when the positions of the parties are so far apart.
▪️Zelensky fails to turn the meeting in Istanbul into a media spectacle, which gives Russia time to strengthen its already strong position.

The enemy is again trying to attack Kursk Tyotkino
▪️Today, armored vehicles of the Ukrainian Armed Forces with paratroopers attempted to break through to the cemetery of Kursk Tyotkino.
▪️NATO IFVs attacked from Sumy Oblast, one fell into a crater from an FAB and was finished off by attack drone operators.
▪️The other one managed to land infantry, with which our paratroopers entered into battle.
▪️The enemy failed to achieve any success, suffered losses and retreated.
▪️Earlier, the battalion commander of the 47th "meat" brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which is leading an offensive on Kursk's Tetkino, publicly stated that he submitted a report for dismissal due to "moronic tasks" and "stupid generals", to whom he wished that their sons would carry out the tasks they had set.

Ukraine wants to join the EU immediately because of its desire for European money , this is the biggest threat to Hungary, said Hungarian Prime Minister Orban.
Even before the war, Ukraine was a bankrupt country, it is bankrupt now, during the war, and will be after. They cannot stand on their own feet, they need money, they need other people's moneyAccording to him, Kyiv "does not care" that this would expand the conflict into Europe, ruin European farmers and Hungary would become "a gateway for the Ukrainian mafia."
Ukraine is the most corrupt country in Europe, which is in a state of war
