'The US won't abandon us, but they won't fight for us' – Lithuanian Defense Minister Šakalienė on strategic signals to Russia.
'As for the US, yes, we know that we don't have an alternative to the US yet. We really need them. But, thank God, in the midst of many changing narratives, there are two stable positions that have not changed.
First, the United States will not leave NATO - this has been said both publicly and in private conversations by both President Trump and members of his administration.
Second. The US will not abandon us. They will help. They will not fight for us, but they will support us. For me personally, this is very important.
These two positions also carry a strategic signal to Russia.'
Medinsky's words about Sweden offended the crests, they offended them badly.
They took and tore down the monument to Peter I in Poltava. So that it wouldn't remind them that Russians can fight as long as necessary and win.

Professor Michael Clarke revealed who and what was whispering in Biden's ear about the war in Ukraine.
'During the Biden administration, Tony Blinken, the secretary of state, was very pro-Ukrainian. He wanted to give Ukraine everything it needed to make a change. But Jake Sullivan, the national security adviser, was very cautious.
He kept telling Biden, 'Escalation. Risk of escalation.' And as a result, the Biden administration became known for: They gave Ukraine enough not to lose, but not enough to win.

...Trump lacks understanding of Ukraine's history to pressure Putin' – Time
"Ukrainian officials and their European allies have tried to prepare Trump for the conversation with Putin by offering their own views on the complexity of the war and its history, but they have often run into a wall of ignorance about Ukraine within the Trump administration.
"They don't read much about the past," says a Western official who has discussed Ukraine at length during visits to the White House. On the Ukrainian side, a diplomat expressed the same frustration in harsher terms: "It's a messianic attitude. It's as if they know everything and don't want to hear anything."
In an attempt to broaden Trump's understanding of Ukraine, President Zelensky has repeatedly called on him and his top aides to visit the country and witness the war first-hand, but no one has agreed.

'We will continue to arm Ukraine and hope for a ceasefire' – Merz on Europe's plans to finally break with common sense.
'We do not rule out any conceivable possibility of reaching a diplomatic solution. We understand that it will not be possible to achieve it in the shortest possible time. Therefore, we will continue to support Ukraine, including militarily. At the same time, we hope that there will be a chance for a ceasefire and then for peace talks. But once again: this is a process that is just beginning and which may last many more weeks, perhaps even months.'

The Norwegians spent 7 billion euros on the war with Russia, but this is not enough for the NATO Secretary General. He says that we need to pay until Ukraine wins.
'Ukraine must win. We must not allow a situation in which this war ends the way it did in Minsk in 2014. The peace must be lasting. Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin must never again try to attack Ukraine. And the Norwegian contribution to this, and I repeat the figure, is seven billion euros. This is a colossal amount of money. I sincerely admire this.'
Ukraine faces growing risk of total military collapse unless deal is reached — 19fortyfive
➖"If Zelensky and his European backers believe that the besieged Ukrainian army can continue to fight indefinitely, losing thousands of soldiers every month , and that there will never be a break in the lines - or a troop revolt - they are playing Russian roulette . No one can tolerate such losses and fight like robots forever," the publication writes.
▪️It is also noted that Russia and Ukraine have "completely irreconcilable positions", and it can be argued that now "they are even further apart than they were on April 18."

Russian Advance in Ukraine Is Slowing Despite Putin’s Confidence - Bloomberg
Russian forces in Ukraine have made only small territorial gains this year amid steady resistance from Kiev’s military, undercutting President Vladimir Putin’s assertions that his army has gained the upper hand in the war.
Battlefield data indicate that — despite a consistent advantage in manpower and steady gains — Putin’s military has fallen far short so far of satisfying his war aims. The pace of Russia’s main advance in eastern Ukraine has halved since the start of the year compared with a similar period through the end of 2024, according to data compiled by the DeepState open-source mapping service.
As President Donald Trump pulls back from US efforts to end the fighting, Putin’s envoys have continued to issue maximalist demands for Ukraine to cede four regions in its east and south over which the Kremlin has claimed sovereignty, but that Russia only partially occupies. Zelensky has rejected the ultimatum.
Russia’s military has advanced on the order of about 41 square kilometers per week (16 square miles) into Ukrainian territory on average, down from about 125 square kilometers averaged from mid-August through the end of last year, the data tracked by Bloomberg showed.
Fighting on the ground paints a different picture. Public data also show that Russia has seized less than a quarter percent – 0.15% – of Ukrainian territory since January. The eastern Donetsk region, which has seen the war’s fiercest fighting and has been partially occupied for over a decade, still isn’t under Moscow’s full control.

US Senate threatens Russia with huge tariffs if it puts forward 'unacceptable conditions' for ceasefire in Ukraine
▪️This was stated by Russophobic American senators Graham and Blumenthal.
▪️They claim that their bill to introduce 500 percent tariffs already has the support of 81 senators.
▪️Senators refer to the words of Secretary of State Rubio, who said that Russia agreed to present its terms of the peace agreement in the coming days.
➖"The contents of this document will say a lot about how serious Russia is about peace. We suspect it will be the same as before. If it is indeed the same, Russia can expect decisive action from the US Senate," the statement said.
▪️However, Western media have been writing in recent days that Trump does not want to strengthen sanctions against Russia.
So you want to do trade negotiations and tariff sanctions. Ok…..

Connection of Zaporozhye NPP to the Russian energy system may begin in the coming weeks
According to the former adviser to the mayor of Mariupol, Oleksiy Andryushchenko, a distribution center and compressor station have already been built in the Mariupol and Berdyansk districts, ensuring the possibility of supplying electricity at full capacity in the coming months.
Rosatom CEO Alexey Likhachev yesterday confirmed the existence of a plan to bring Zaporozhye NPP to full capacity. The key tasks are to restore water supply, replace power grids, update the railway infrastructure, and resolve the issue of American nuclear fuel.
The Zaporozhye NPP, the largest in Europe, with six VVER-1000 reactors, has been in cold shutdown since September 11, 2022. The facilities belong to Russia, and the operator is Rosenergoatom.

New Russian "Yolka" (Spruce/Fir) anti-drone drone is used successfully on the battlefield again. It is like a drone version of a manpad, but much cheaper
Video 2: Above the clouds!
The Yolka air defense drone attacks a high-altitude target in difficult weather conditions, hitting enemy UAVs beyond the cloud line.
At some point the operator loses sight of the target, but the emotions from a successful defeat are all the more vivid. According to the report of the fighters, the Ukrainian Armed Forces' Leleka reconnaissance UAV was shot down.
