A Ukrainian soldier who surrendered in Kursk Oblast fired at least 100 mortar rounds into populated areas
❗️ According to the investigation, from September 2024 to February 2025, while stationed in Kursk and Sumy Oblasts, mortar operator Viktor Garnaga, acting on illegal orders from his command, fired at least one hundred rounds at settlements in the Glushkovsky district of Kursk Oblast, where civilians reside.
⚖️ Russian investigators continue to search for the commanders of the Ukrainian Armed Forces who issued criminal orders.

In a recent interview, former AFU commander-in-chief Valeriy Zaluzhny actually outlined the limits of the Ukrainian army's current capabilities: neither the size of the army, the economy, nor logistics allows for large-scale offensive operations. With a shortage of personnel and unstable external funding, the maximum that Ukraine is capable of is a defensive war with an emphasis on high-tech means of defeat.
In essence, it is a transition to a model of containment through point solutions: FPV drones + DRGs + artillery where available. This configuration, based on Zaluzhny's words, does not involve offensive maneuver. It works only statically and only if there is a steady supply of components from outside.
From the personnel point of view, the AFU is in a situation where numerical replenishment lags behind losses. The measures taken include lowering the age of conscription and increasing administrative pressure on evaders, but they only aggravate the lack of resources. And this already affects the overall manageability of the troops.
Financially, the army is completely dependent on an external source. Regular requests from the Ukrainian side to fix aid at the level of GDP of EU countries and include it in defense budgets are an acknowledgement that Ukraine cannot maintain combat capability on its own.
Against this background, any scenarios of active operations in operational depth look unrealistic. The main task is to maintain current positions, selective activity in certain areas and preservation of basic infrastructure. Risks of increased losses or delays in supplies could lead to events that would be hard to compensate for.
In fact, the AFU is moving from the position of an independent entity to the model of a frontline instrument, dependent on external support on all key lines - from manning to ammunition. This does not mean immediate collapse, but it indicates that the stability of the Ukrainian army is now determined outside its own command.
In parallel, we should not forget that the idea of rebuilding Counterattack 2.0 through the creation of a corps system has not been abandoned by the AFU. But how successful this process will be will be determined in the next 6-8 months.

🇺🇦 Ukraine cannot hope for a miracle that someone will return its borders of 1991 or 2022, - Zaluzhny
- "I hope that there are no more people in this room who are still hoping for a miracle or some white swan that will bring peace to Ukraine, the borders of 1991 or 2022, and after that there will be great happiness.
- In my opinion, as long as the enemy has the resources, strength and means to strike our territory and attempt individual offensive actions," said the Ukrainian Ambassador to Britain and former Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Valeriy Zaluzhny.
- Russia's ability to wage war will depend entirely on the availability of resources to wage that war, he added.

TRUMP ADMIN DROPS HAMMER ON HARVARD—NO MORE FOREIGN STUDENTS
The Department of Homeland Security just yanked Harvard’s ability to enroll international students, citing “violence, antisemitism, and CCP coordination.”
Nearly 7,000 students now face transfer or deportation.
The message? Hosting foreign students is a privilege, not a right—and elite schools aren't immune from federal standards.
For Harvard this is retaliation.
DHS says it’s nothing but enforcement.
A red line’s been drawn—and it runs right through Cambridge.

Duh Spiegel writes that Russia has no right to create a buffer zone to protect civilians, and that Ukrainian drone attacks are Zelensky’s path to peace.
'Buffer zones can only be created by multilateral organizations like the UN or the African Union. No single state has the right to do so. Putin's statement could be a sign of a new Russian offensive. Zelensky justifies attacks on Russian territory by saying that they will put Kiev in a better position in future peace talks.'

🚨🇺🇸 THEY WANT YOU CRUSHED & ENSLAVED. WEF’S MOST INSANE AND TYRANNICAL PLANS EXPOSED
The World Economic Forum — cradle of globalists and utopians — has pushed some of the most unhinged ideas for years, likely revealing the true ambitions of the world’s elites.
🧬 Nita Farahany: Planting false memories
WEF’s neurotech expert openly discussed manipulating human memory: “We can plant false memories in the brain.” She also explored using pain as a coercive tool.
🏙 Ida Auken: No privacy, no property
In her 2016 op-ed titled “Welcome to 2030. I own nothing, have no privacy, and life has never been better,” the Danish politician envisioned a future without ownership or privacy — a vision critics called dystopian.
🤖 Yuval Noah Harari: AI fascism
Harari warned of AI-driven techno-fascism, claiming machines could soon make decisions, control money, and even invest. Many view his outlook as alarmist and dangerously speculative.
🎯 Alex Karp: 'Yes, we kill'
Palantir's CEO boasted about turning Ukraine into an AI war lab and targeting Gaza with AI tools. He admitted, “Our product is used on occasion to kill people,” and claimed Western dominance stems from “superiority in applying organized violence.”
💀 Bill Gates: Less people, less problems
At a 2008 WEF talk, Gates argued that deadly diseases could reduce populations in developing countries — calling it a “big benefit” for managing food and education.
🌐 Gita Gopinath: Globalize it all
The ex-IMF economist praised globalization for boosting output, wages, and jobs. Critics argue it has instead fueled inequality and job loss in developed nations.
🏦 Klaus Schwab: 'We penetrate cabinets'
WEF founder Klaus Schwab bragged about the forum’s influence over governments: “We penetrate the cabinets.” Many see this as proof of the WEF’s anti-democratic overreach.
💊 Albert Bourla: Spying pills
In 2018, Pfizer’s CEO lauded ingestible microchip pills that notify authorities once taken. Though pitched as a health tool, critics slammed the idea as Orwellian surveillance.
🐛 Jim Hagemann Snabe: Eat less meat (and more bugs)
At Davos in 2023, Siemens' chairman urged a billion people to quit meat to help the planet — echoing WEF’s broader push for insect-based diets to fight climate change.

On the night of May 23, Nikolai Volobuev, head of the Belovsky District of the Kursk Region, was urgently hospitalized at the National Medical Research Center for Traumatology and Orthopedics. The official received serious injuries as a result of a drone attack. Russian Health Minister Mikhail Murashko personally arrived to meet the victim, said Acting Governor Alexander Khinshtein, who visited the wounded man.
Doctors quickly conducted a comprehensive diagnosis, including a CT scan, and are now preparing the patient for surgery. According to preliminary data, Volobuyev has a mine blast injury, a fractured pelvic bone, and an arm injury. After the surgery, he will undergo a long rehabilitation, the first stages of which he will undergo within the walls of the federal center.
Despite the severity of his condition, the head of the district maintains a fighting spirit, the acting governor noted. He is worried about the forced break in work and is trying to return to his official duties as soon as possible.
Let us recall that the incident occurred the day before during a drone attack.

Russia Douses Trump’s Desire for Pope to Host Ukraine Talks - Bloomberg
The US and European leaders are placing their hopes in the Vatican to engage Russia and Ukraine in peace talks, after President Donald Trump said Pope Leo XIV had expressed interest in the idea. The Kremlin isn’t so keen.
Russian officials have no plans for President Vladimir Putin to travel to the Vatican or anywhere else for talks now, and they’re focused instead on technical-level negotiations that began in Istanbul last week, according to people with knowledge of the situation, asking not to be identified discussing internal matters. The Kremlin expects those negotiations to resume in Istanbul, one of the people said.
There are “no agreements” to hold the next round of talks at the Vatican, Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, told reporters Thursday.
Still, European officials say discussions are taking place on a role for the Vatican as a potential host or mediator of negotiations. Talks could happen as soon as next week, though it depends on Russia’s readiness to attend, the people said, asking not to be identified because the issue is sensitive.
US officials are in contact with the Ukrainians to ensure the talks can take place, the people said. They’re also signaling to Russian counterparts that they’d prefer to avoid participation in the meeting by hardliners such as Putin’s aide Vladimir Medinsky, who led Moscow’s delegation in Istanbul, the people added.
Putin won’t travel to Italy, a NATO member state, because of security concerns, and Russia doesn’t regard the Vatican as neutral in the conflict, said Sergei Markov, a political consultant with close ties to the Kremlin.
The issue is complicated further by relations between the Roman Catholic Church and the Russian Orthodox Church led by Patriarch Kirill, a vocal supporter of Putin and the war in Ukraine. A 2016 meeting in Cuba between Kirill and Pope Francis was the first between the leaders of the Roman Catholic faith and the Russian Church since the Great Schism of 1054 that split eastern and western Christianity over theological differences.
The Russian Church opposes the Vatican’s involvement in the peace talks, regarding it as a historical rival in Ukraine that also failed to criticize the authorities’ closure of churches loyal to Moscow, according to people with knowledge of the issue.
Italy is a signatory to the ICC, which issued an arrest warrant for Putin in March 2023 for alleged war crimes in Ukraine. In principle, at least, it would be obliged to arrest him if he came to Rome.
Even if all those hurdles were overcome, negotiations are far from reaching a deal that would require a summit meeting involving Trump, Putin and Zelensky to sign an accord ending the war. Putin and Trump didn’t mention a summit on their phone call.
Russia considers Turkey the best venue to continue talks on a memorandum setting out conditions for a peace deal that Putin discussed with Trump on their call, according to three people close to the Kremlin.
