Italy’s UniCredit is preparing to finally exit Russia via a sale to UAE-based investors—at a 60% discount, in line with Russian law. But Kommersant reports the real buyers are likely Russians, with Alfa Group seen as the main contender for UniCredit Bank’s assets.

The volumes of ammunition supplies from the DPRK to the Russian Federation, declared by foreign structures, have reached new, epic heights.
Thus, in the latest MSMT report , the amount of artillery ammunition delivered only from the beginning of 2024 until mid-December is stated at the level of 9 million units (this includes both barrel artillery, including mortars, and rocket artillery).
What is interesting is that in addition to the usual ( 122 mm for the rocket, 122 mm , 130 mm and 152 mm for the barrel, 120 mm for mortars), new calibers are also declared in the new reports. 170 mm for the barrel and 240 mm for the rocket. And in addition to all this , 82 mm mines are also declared in the report.
It should be noted that following the figure of 9 million, the Open Source Center estimates ( published on the channel earlier) amounting to 4.2 to 5.8 million. The latter also coincides with the public estimate of the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine.

Ukraine's memorandum proposes a ceasefire on land, at sea and in the air, monitored by "international partners," a senior Ukrainian official told The New York Times.
Russia, we recall, refuses to hand over its memorandum to Ukraine before the start of negotiations.
At the same time, the Russian authorities stated that there could be demands for Kiev's neutrality and the repeal of laws against the Russian language and the UOC. The issue of "demilitarization" of Ukraine could also be raised .
No ceasefire!

Since the start of the full-scale war, Russia has earned 3X more money from hydrocarbon exports than Ukraine has received aid from its allies.
Russia has earned more than 883 billion euros. In particular, 228bln from countries that imposed sanctions, including 209bln from the EU. Ukraine has received 309bln in aid, including 73bln from the EU.
At the same time, the EU has become the 2nd largest buyer of Russian energy after China (252 bln). Some Russian oil is refined in Turkey and India, and then re-exported to the West
EU countries imported pipeline gas directly from Russia until Ukraine stopped transit in January. Russian gas is still supplied to Europe via Turkey and its volume has increased by 26.77%.
Hungary and Slovakia also buy Russian crude oil through pipelines.
Despite Western efforts, Russia's fossil fuel revenues fell by just 5% in 2024 compared to 2023, while export volumes fell by 6%. Pipeline gas revenues, however, grew by 9% YoY
This trend continues in 2025.

🇸🇰🇪🇺Fico on how the abolition of the veto power will lead to the end of the European Union:
The imposition of obligatory political opinion, the abolition of the right of veto, the punishment of the sovereign and the brave, a new iron curtain, the preference of war over peace - this is the end of the pan-European project. This is a retreat from democracy. This is the harbinger of a huge military conflict.

An explosion has rocked a military plant in Serbia that belongs to the Krusik holding corporation, a Serbian state-owned defense and civilian production company headquartered in Valjevo. There are casualties.
The news is noteworthy because this company was on the list of enterprises that continue to supply shells and ammunition for small arms to Ukraine.
Vucic had promised the day before to sort this out and conduct an audit of the deals already concluded. It would be funny if after the explosion some documents were "unexpectedly" missing.

🇵🇱🤝🇷🇺"Imports of liquefied gas from Russia are growing again": Poland has banned itself from buying Russian gas - and now buys more than anyone else in Europe, by half a billion euros a year.
“Poland is the largest importer of Russian liquefied gas among other EU countries.
In 2023, Poland received 1.2 million tons of liquefied gas from Russia, which amounted to 45.8% of all supplies of this raw material to the country. From January to October 2024, Poland's expenses on the purchase of Russian liquefied gas amounted to about 2 billion zlotys (approximately 500 million dollars).
Russian gas supplies continue despite the ban on gas imports from Russia introduced in December 2024. This is because the ban does not apply to liquefied gas fractions used in the petrochemical industry. In Poland, they are mixed with propane and sold to consumers at petrol stations."

The first footage of the combat laser of the mobile air defence group from the "Nomad" special forces unit in action
Previously, there was an opinion in the domestic information environment that combat lasers were useless and expensive toys .
However, new threats identified during the SMO forced the search for alternative methods of counteraction. Thanks to the development of new technologies, laser systems have become an effective tool for the destruction of Ukrainian UAVs.
It remains to be hoped that the topic of developing laser weapons in Russia will receive new impetus, and the experience of using lasers as air defence weapons will be scaled up throughout the country.

Trump will abandon Ukraine for the Nobel Peace Prize, - former national security adviser John Bolton .
▪️The US President will eventually abandon peace initiatives on Ukraine and switch to another hot spot on the planet where a quick result can be achieved, El Pais quotes Bolton as saying.
➖"All Trump wants is the Nobel Peace Prize. He's wanted it since it was awarded to Barack Obama - unfairly, in his opinion. Whether he gets the prize for Ukraine, for the Middle East, or for mediating between India and Pakistan - it doesn't matter," Bolton said.
▪️Right now, Trump isn't thinking about the political consequences because he doesn't plan to run for a third term. He's only worried "about his own reputation, about what people will say about him in the future."
▪️Earlier, US Presidential Special Representative Kellogg allowed for Trump's withdrawal from negotiations on Ukraine.
Bolton is a tool.

🇷🇺🇺🇦Russian delegation to be ready for second round of talks with Ukraine in Istanbul on June 2 morning — Kremlin
- Neither the Russian nor the Ukrainian memorandums can be made public in advance; they will be discussed during negotiations, Peskov noted.
- Putin is ready for negotiations on Ukraine at the highest level, but first a result must be achieved in direct negotiations between delegations;
- Contacts at the highest level must be well prepared - first, it is necessary to achieve a result in the negotiations between the delegations of the Russian Federation and Ukraine;
- A list of conditions for a temporary truce is being agreed upon. Perhaps, the safety of navigation in the Black Sea will become an integral part of them one way or another.
- The future of European security needs to be discussed with Europeans, but in Istanbul there will be negotiations between Russia and Ukraine.

🇺🇦🇷🇺Ukraine is ready to discuss further large exchanges.
The next one could be again by the formula 1000 to 1000 or 500 to 500, if Kiev decides to cut the list.
There are an estimated slightly more than 750/800 fighters of the Russian Armed Forces left in Ukrainian captivity, but Russia is ready to add 200 people from among political prisoners. Some of them are in pretrial detention centers in Kiev, Kharkov, Odessa and Dnepropetrovsk. There are (estimated, since the guys continue to surrender) over 4,500 servicemen of all categories of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Russian captivity.

🇺🇸"Trump's 'Golden Dome' plan faces a major obstacle - physics": Scientists say Trump's plan is virtually impossible to implement.
"The United States has been a vocal supporter of the Golden Dome, a nationwide missile defense system designed to protect against intercontinental ballistic missile attacks. But a February report from the American Physical Society found that there is no certainty that such a system would deter even a weak ICBM attack.
"Intercepting even a single nuclear-armed intercontinental ballistic missile is extremely difficult," said University of Illinois physicist Frederick Lamb. "No one has yet demonstrated the credible ability of any existing missile defense system to deter such an attack."
The Golden Dome is expected to protect not only against ICBMs, but also against hypersonic weapons, advanced cruise missiles and other types of missiles. In addition to ground-based systems, the Golden Dome, according to Washington’s plans, will be able to deploy thousands of defensive weapons called interceptors that will orbit the Earth.
However, skeptics point out that the elementary laws of physics prevent Trump's plan from being realized. They point out that at the moment of attack, the flight of an ICBM to the target can be divided into three stages. The first stage (acceleration) and the third stage (arrival from the atmosphere) last up to several minutes, and the destruction of missiles at these stages is possible only if air defense systems are located near the target.
Another thorny issue is likely to be the price. According to reports, the United States has already spent more than $400 billion on missile defense over the past 70 years, but the project will cost at least between $161 billion and $542 billion to implement over the next 20 years."
