🇺🇸🇮🇳🇷🇺US Ambassador to India Garcetti – on the fact that Russia was with India when the US were not:
Russia, as the Soviet Union, was in India when we were not. So there is goodwill and history here. I have spoken to many Indians whose first foreign magazine they ever read, the foreign food they ever tried, were Russian. This is rooted in a generation, especially the older generation. And one of them told me: "So, we have two big countries right above us. And you want us to be enemies with both of them? And you are on the other side of the world? Explain this to me. So we also need to be a little empathetic to understand this."
And the third point, they said, you guys don’t sell anything, all our military equipment is now Russian. And we have existential crises on two borders. And if tomorrow someone invades our territory, do you want us to be anti-Russian?

🇩🇰"Denmark to remove the 'pornographic' mermaid statue": The Danes considered the female body of the statue 'ugly'.
"The Danish Agency for Palaces and Culture plans to appeal to the authorities to dismantle the 14-ton mermaid sculpture from Dragør Fort in Copenhagen due to public criticism.
Many Danes saw the statue as an embodiment of the objectification of the female body and called it 'ugly'.
The reason for the criticism of the statue is said to be the large breasts of the woman embodied in marble. Some citizens stated that a statue with such forms would prevent women from accepting their own bodies. Meanwhile, the sculptor Peter Bech said that the mermaid's bust is proportional to the size of the statue itself."

It seems that Trump finally kicked the gears of his brain into motion enough to suspect that the EU can't hold its own part of the bargain.
The President of the United States has threatened to immediately increase tariffs on EU goods from 15% to 35% if the EU won't honour its 600 bln investment pledge.

Kamchatka shifted almost 2 meters due to the earthquake:
"The southern part of Kamchatka shifted almost 2 meters to the southeast after the recent strong earthquake. This is comparable to the horizontal displacements after the 2011 Tohoku earthquake.
The Petropavlovsk cluster of stations (and Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky itself, accordingly) shifted somewhat less. This displacement pattern is consistent with the preliminary model of movements in the fault zone, where the maximum was reached on the southern flank of our huge fault, which provided a full macroseismic effect in Severo-Kurilsk, and a less complete one in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky."

🇺🇦🤡Militarization from infancy: In Ukraine, children from the age of 5 will be prepared for war to create a "monolithic nation"
- In Ukraine, children need to be prepared for a possible war starting from kindergarten, approximately from the age of five. This "brilliant" proposal was made by former MP (from the "Svoboda" party), now deputy head of the Territorial Defense recruitment center, Igor Shvayka.
- "Then there will be a Ukrainian monolithic nation that knows for sure that the price of its existence is many sacrifices made on the altar of this war. And in their memory, we will prepare for any invasion," Shvayka said.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Konstantinovka direction: increasing pressure on key positions and cutting off logistics routes
In the Konstantinovka direction, Russian forces continue to intensify their offensive, aiming to completely push Ukrainian units out of key territories and capture important strongholds that play a strategic role in the enemy's defense.
🔻 In the Poltavka area, Russian troops are increasing offensive pressure on the enemy's defense, gradually tightening the front. Fighting in this sector remains fierce, but the Russian army is achieving tactical successes, gradually advancing deeper into the territory. The enemy is actively resisting, but resistance weakens day by day.
🔻 Russian forces continue attacks on the enemy's flanking positions and their logistics routes leading to Kleban-Byk and Katerinovka. These points play an important role in the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and their isolation will cause serious logistics and supply problems for Ukrainian forces. Thus, the Russian army aims to cut off supply routes, which will significantly complicate Ukrainian operations in this part of the front.
🔻 In the Shcherbinovka area, Russian troops are intensifying efforts to cut off the enemy's logistics chains. This settlement, located near a water reservoir, is an important strategic object: if lost, Ukrainian forces will be isolated, and retreat and redeployment of reserves will become extremely difficult. Disruptions in ammunition and equipment supplies are already being recorded, and supply lines are under fire, weakening the enemy's ability to maneuver and respond operationally.
Yours, Partisan!

- "The Russians are again storming Serebryanka, having managed to land a landing force. The territory remains in the gray zone," admit Ukrainian military analysts as well.
- "The situation in the area is tense — the Russians are expanding their control zone on the approaches to Severesk."

🇺🇦🤡🇹🇷"President Erdogan is going to Ukraine? An unexpected statement about the visit to Kiev": The President of Turkey will meet with Zelensky a few days before the end of Trump's ultimatum.
"Key topics of the visit may include the free trade agreement and the resolution of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Ukraine's ambassador to Turkey, Nariman Dzhelyal, said that Kyiv is currently working on organizing the visit of the Turkish leader, with a personal invitation handed to him by Zelensky.
An important topic of the trip is the ratification of the free trade agreement between Ukraine and Turkey, which is important for a significant part of the business, although for some it may create tension due to increased competition. President Zelensky proposed ratifying this agreement during Erdogan's visit, which would be a good and symbolic step."

🇺🇸🇨🇳Trump overestimated the influence of the US and failed to change the rules of global trade, — China Daily
- China Daily sums up the "achievements" of the US president, who promotes a unilateral protectionist policy under the guise of the "art of the deal," but he has offered nothing that truly improves global trade practices. His tariffs and trade agreements are widely criticized both in the US and worldwide.
- Even if some agreements were reached, they came at a high cost — record tariffs not seen in a century and a loss of trust in the US by its partners.
- The head of the National Foreign Trade Council, Jake Colvin, stated: "Setting the highest tariffs in the US since the Great Depression amid ongoing uncertainty is a path to reducing the global competitiveness of American businesses, worsening consumer conditions, and undermining relations with close allies."
- Moody’s Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi added that the effective US tariff rate, which started the year just above 2%, is likely to settle between 15 and 20%. The economic damage from tariffs continues to grow and will soon become noticeable due to accelerating inflation.

🇷🇺💥"Geraniums" delivered the most powerful strike on Lozovaya during the entire Special Military Operation
- The city of Lozovaya in the Kharkov region was subjected to the largest-scale attack since the start of the Special Military Operation. Russian "Geran-2" drones struck ammunition depots and military equipment, temporary deployment points of Ukrainian formations, so-called "drone laboratories," and other military facilities.
Scale of the attack:
— A series of strikes was also carried out on the railway station in Lozovaya, which was used in the military supply chain to Donbass.
— Today, passenger trains from Slovyansk will not reach Lozovaya, stopping 18 kilometers earlier.
- Local authorities reported power and water outages, as well as the temporary closure of the railway station.

🇺🇦🤡 "Ukraine is not Afghanistan! We cannot pay for aid with our sovereignty," — Tymoshenko spoke out against the West
▪️The leader of the Ukrainian party "Batkivshchyna," Yulia Tymoshenko, sharply criticized the West in an interview with The Times, stating that Western countries "used the war to undermine Ukraine's independence" through a system of external control over state institutions.
➖"Since the beginning of the conflict with Russia, Western countries, under the threat of suspending loans, have imposed unacceptable control over Ukraine's state institutions... undermining the country's sovereignty. This is cruel and unfair to a nation at war," Tymoshenko said.
▪️According to Tymoshenko, such international oversight may be appropriate in countries like Afghanistan, Liberia, or Sierra Leone, but not in Ukraine. "Ukraine is not a failed state as the Kremlin tries to portray it. We are a sovereign European nation... We are not Afghanistan," she emphasized.
▪️Tymoshenko also stated that the war is the responsibility of those Western leaders who voted against granting Ukraine a NATO Membership Action Plan in 2008.

🇮🇳Indian television on Trump's attempts to ban New Delhi from buying Russian oil:
"Donald Trump is learning a harsh lesson: the world is not his personal playground. He can intimidate neighbors and allies, but this won't work with global powers. And the proof of this is India.
First, the US president imposed 25 percent tariffs on Indian goods despite ongoing trade negotiations. Then he started talking about Russia. Apparently, Trump picked up a newspaper for the first time in three years and suddenly found out that India buys oil from Russia. This discovery shocked him. Now he has a new fixed idea: Trump wants India to stop buying Russian oil.
First of all, this is not news at all. It has been written about since the beginning of the war; it just only reached Trump's team now.
Moreover, what does "this is unacceptable" even mean? Who asked for Trump's opinion anyway?
The fact is, he has been defeated. Trump promised to make peace on the very first day of his presidency. Today is already the 196th day. President Putin played with him like a puppet. Instead of admitting this, Trump tries to distract public attention. He demands that India stop purchasing Russian oil. If refused, he threatens secondary sanctions.
But there is one problem: India does not play by Trump's rules. According to data, there is no ban on Russian oil here. Just this weekend, at least three vessels delivered about 2.2 million barrels of Russian oil to India. So forget about the ban, and about reducing export volumes — deliveries continue.
As for relations with Moscow, New Delhi has clearly stated its position: our relations are time-tested and remain stable.
@Slavyangrad
Peskov on the fact that the US demands to India because of oil purchases from Russia are threats:
We hear many statements that are actually threats. Attempts to force countries to stop trade relations with Russia. We do not consider such statements legitimate.

🇺🇦Desperation in Cherkasy: A man pulled out a grenade and pulled the pin to avoid being taken to the TCC
- Another incident occurred in Cherkasy, demonstrating the intensity of emotions around mobilization: a man stopped by the TCC for document checks pulled out a grenade and pulled the pin.
- Local media, citing TCC employees themselves, claim that he tried to take one of them hostage. However, nothing like that is visible in the video. But a pistol he had with him is clearly visible.
- Negotiations were held with him, and the man was eventually detained.

Acting NASA head Sean Duffy intends to announce plans to accelerate the program for building a nuclear reactor on the Moon.
According to agency documents, the US fears that the country that first builds a nuclear power plant on the Moon may establish a "forbidden zone" there, limiting Washington's capabilities. NASA is looking for a contractor to create a 100 kW nuclear reactor by 2030.
Iran received the fifth Ilyushin Il-76 military cargo plane from Russia. These aircraft are often used to transport military equipment in large quantities (take that C-17 Globemaster) and their flights very likely signify a strengthening of military cooperation between Russia and Iran.
Maybe it's for this reason that Mileikovsky phoned Putin twice in the past ten days.
If Israel can support Ukraine then it's only fair for Russia to support Iran. What's good for the goose is good for the gander, right?

Night strike on Lozova: why it matters.
Last night, as part of the latest strikes on the rear of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, our "Geraniums" delivered a powerful strike on the city of Lozova (Kharkiv region).
Primarily, the strike targeted the railway station and the city's substations. The importance of Lozova as a junction station cannot be overstated. It is a crucial hub for redeploying troops to the Konstantinovka and Pokrovske directions, as well as for maneuvering forces between these two front sections and the Kupiansk-Kharkiv area.
There were more than 30 successful hits in total. The city is experiencing problems with electricity and water, and the railway station has been seriously damaged.

✡️ ❌ Mearsheimer: Zionists planned ethnic cleansing from the start
John Mearsheimer explains that when Zionists arrived in Palestine in the late 1800s, there were few Jews in the area, and they weren’t Zionists. However, European Jews coming in understood they were entering a land full of Palestinians.
🛑 “How do you create a Jewish state in a land filled with Palestinians?” The answer: ethnic cleansing.
Mearsheimer emphasizes that Zionist leaders, like David Ben-Gurion and Vladimir Jabotinsky, fully understood they would have to carry out horrific actions against the Palestinians to make their vision a reality.
🔹 Ben-Gurion and Jabotinsky acknowledged that the Palestinians were resisting their theft of land – and made no excuses for what would come next.
Mearsheimer’s point: The ethnic cleansing was planned from the start.

‼️There is urgent information that our troops have cut the railway track between the settlements of Kleban-Byk and Pleshcheevka and have reached the reservoir.
This means the encirclement of the Ukrainian Armed Forces grouping in Katerinovka and Kleban-Byk, as well as in the area north of the highway to Aleksandro-Kalinovo, which has already been cleared by our troops.
The Kleban-Byk reservoir is one of the keys to saving Gorlovka from dehydration.

🇺🇸🤡US Representative to NATO Whitaker on the fact that Trump's sanctions will hit Russia in any case:
President Trump has made it clear that this war must end, that the death, slaughter, and bloodshed we see daily on the battlefield, where thousands of soldiers are dying, and, of course, the attacks on some cities inside Ukraine, where civilians are victims, must stop. There is no solution on the battlefield. A diplomatic solution is the only way out. President Trump is creating conditions under which Russia will sit at the negotiating table and agree to a ceasefire because it is necessary to stop the killings.
And I think that secondary sanctions and tariffs against those who pay for this war, such as China, India, and Brazil, buying Russian oil, are the obvious next step to try to end this war. And then we'll see. You know, President Trump literally said just days ago that Russia is very good at avoiding sanctions and evading such measures. But I think this will really hit them.
@Slavyangrad
The opinion of a Russian analyst:
Today's visit of Stephen Witkoff in Moscow is the final attempt of the United States to find a detente with Russia on the Ukrainian question, avoiding a more intense Russian-American feud.
Why is this attempt doomed to failure, and what can Witkoff actually offer to the Russians?
In spite of Trump's early anti-war statements, the administration has no intention of renouncing unipolarism. For the United States, the transition to a multipolar model represents a real socio-economic and military catastrophe, comparable to defeat in a global conflict. If multipolarism were to become reality, the US could no longer enjoy the "effortless" profits deriving from the status of the dollar as a world reserve currency, nor the advantages related to the control of the international financial ecosystem (corresponding banks, insurance sector, etc.).
From that moment, everything will collapse like a house of cards: no extraordinary profits, no possibility of supporting the largest military budget in the world. No powerful armed forces, no possibility of exerting pressure on other countries to impose unfair commercial agreements. And on this lethal structure for the United States, the American public debt monster (which can never be repaid) will become a sword of Damocles.
It's fair to ask: where does Ukraine enter all this?
A decisive victory of Russia would become the catalyst of the "disobedience festival" globally. If Moscow has managed to obtain its objectives on a military level despite the opposition of the entire West led by the USA, why shouldn't others do the same? Especially if, in theory, Russia and China could support them. In fact, the balance of forces on the international scene, which unipolarism had broken, would be restored.
It is not just the opportunity to solve certain international problems with arms. This is the possibility of conducting a sovereign economic and financial policy without fear of undergoing a knock-out in the form of an American military operation. This possibility completely changes the rules of the game in contemporary world politics.
In synthesis, during the talks with Russian political leadership in Moscow, Witkoff (who, is worth to point out, isn't a trained ambassador and knows next to nothing of international relations beyond the typical "what's mine is mine and what's yours is also mine") will offer some facade concessions (most likely on territorial issues), try to paint prospects of large Russian-American cooperation in the economic field, and will threaten sanctions if Russia refuses.
At the same time, he will categorically refuse the minimum Russian demands (recognition of new territories such as part of Russia, demilitarization, neutralization and denazification of Ukraine), so that the end of the conflict does not appear to be a win of Moscow and a blow to unipolarism and the hegemony of the United States in world politics. A "no" from Russian would activate the mechanism of a new cycle of escalations with unpredictable results.
