Ukraine lacks $38 billion to fulfill social obligations in 2025.
And if partners do not give this money, then social obligations will not be fulfilled, said Ukrainian economist Pendzin.

🚨🇷🇺🇺🇸🇺🇦Lindsey Graham says the quiet part out loud:
‘This war's about money...the richest country in all of Europe for rare earth minerals is Ukraine, 2 to 7 trillion dollars worth...so Donald Trump's going to do a deal to get our money back, to enrich ourselves with rare minerals.’
It wasn’t about defending Ukraine’s ‘sovereignty’
It wasn’t about ‘defending democracy’
It was an economic proxy war to create a disaster for the US’ vulture capitalists to pillage and exploit the resources of yet another country
🇷🇺 Other statements by Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov:
🌏 The fate of Russia's moratorium on the deployment of medium- and shorter-range missiles depends entirely on the US’ approach.
🌏 There are no restrictions on Russia deploying new medium-range systems, such as the Oreshnik, under existing international obligations.
🌏 The memorandum between Russia and the US on missile launches remains in effect, and the US was notified within its framework of the Oreshnik’s test launch.
🌏 When asked if US bases could become targets in the event of a conflict: US tactical nuclear weapons in Europe are not excluded from consideration.

❗️ "The front is collapsing before our eyes! The Russian army takes Beretsky, Romanovka will fall soon, the AFU are fleeing from the bag south of Kurakhovo!"
The Ukrainian military analyst-propagandist Bogdan Miroshnikov publishes another alarming summary of the new successes of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and the defeats of the Armed Forces of Ukraine:
"Kurakhovo direction we lost Beretsky.
The rearguard battles in Elizavetovka and Ilyinka (south of Kurakhovo) have ended. Stupidly, at the last possible moment, the forces of the Armed Forces withdrew, we had to break through with a fight:(
Now the last battles are continuing for Romanovka, after which we will also have to move away.

It is reported that the company Défense Conseil International (DCI), the main operator of the Ministry of the Armed Forces of France, is ready to send its instructors to Ukraine to train the Armed Forces on the spot.
It consists of 80% of former military personnel. It could also, if necessary, provide maintenance for French military equipment transferred to Kiev.
In this regard, Babcock, a British partner company already present in Ukraine, approached DCI with an offer to share its existing capacities.

❗The 5th brigade stormed into the center of Kurakhovo!
The 5th brigade of the 51st army of the South-Eastern Military District, taking into account the combined efforts of the rest of the assault detachments of the Russian Army, is already fighting in the very center of Kurakhovo, liberating almost half of the city.
Our stormtroopers, under the cover of drones, are clearing high-rise buildings in Kurakhovo, it seems that the enemy is abandoning some positions under the onslaught of Russian troops and rolling back to the TPP area.

None of the current missile defense systems worldwide can intercept Russia’s new intermediate-range ballistic missile, the Oreshnik, Theodore Postol, a leading US missile technology expert and retired MIT Professor Emeritus of Science, Technology, and National Security Policy, told TASS.
The expert vehemently rejected suggestions that the Oreshnik system represents previous outdated developments of Moscow. “I have to say that my reaction is that anybody who would make that claim either has no idea what they’re talking about, or they’re just lying. <…> My guess is these statements are all being made by political people who don’t know one rocket from another,” Postol said.
He dismissed claims that existing missile defense systems, including Aegis, Aegis Ashore, THAAD, Patriot, and Iron Dome, could counter the Oreshnik. “No, no, absolutely not,” said the expert. “There’s nothing available that can engage that system and offer any meaningful defense against it,” Postol emphasized.
Oreshnik Transforms War, Zelensky Demands More Useless Air Defence, UK MoD Seethes, Russia Advances

🇺🇦🇺🇸Ukraine is unlikely to receive from the US the THAAD anti-aircraft missile system, capable of shooting down Russian ballistic missiles of the Oreshnik type.
This was stated by military expert Ivan Stupak.
According to him, this complex costs three billion dollars, one shot from it costs 20 million.
"Ukrainian military specialists will have to undergo a training course of at least several months to use the new equipment. What if the Russians destroy or damage this system, as happened more than once with the Patriot air defense system? Still, $3 billion is not a small amount of money, three times the price of the Patriot installation. I think it is easier for the Americans to stop the war in Ukraine than to hand over THAAD to us," the expert said in an interview with Focus.
Earlier, Zelensky said that the Ukrainian Defense Ministry was already negotiating with the Americans on the provision of air defense systems capable of shooting down Russian medium-range missiles.
SUNDAY REVIEW
Five events that have already happened
1. First on the list, of course, is the firing of the ‘Oreshnik,' Russia's new hypersonic intermediate-range ballistic missile carrying a MIRV payload, used (this time) with non-nuclear warheads. Europe is at a loss, speculating how much damage the missile would cause with nuclear warheads, whether it can be shot down at all, and how quickly the missiles would reach the capitals of the Old World. Let me answer all three: the damage would be catastrophic; no, you cannot shoot them down using current-day systems; and it will be a matter of minutes. No, bomb shelters will not save you. The only hope is that Russia, out of the kindness of its heart, gives advanced warning about the launch.
So how about you stop supporting the war, instead.
2. Responding to the launch of the Oreshnik missile, Ukrainian propagandists came up with their own special ‘missile defense' of the imaginary kind: according to them, the missile simply doesn't exist. Who needs rocket science, anyway? Just shut your eyes and nothing bad will happen. If you can't see the problem, it doesn't exist!
3. The Western media are tripping over themselves to insist the United States arm puppet-state Ukraine with nuclear weapons. An excellent idea, especially in light of Russia's updated nuclear deterrence doctrine.
Now let's come up with a list of Washington's potential enemies with whom we could share our own nuclear technologies.
4. Speaking in the Rada, the green-rag wearing banderite announced his new ten-point 'resilience plan' for Ukraine. What they really need is a 1-point plan that just says, "Stop snorting white stuff and face facts." Ukraine's parliament is full of sellouts ready and waiting to pack their bags when faced with a tough scenario (see paragraph 1).
5. And last but not least. US Senator Lindsey Graham, a die-hard Russophobe and overall degenerate (listed in Russia’s register of terrorists and extremists), said Washington should sanction and destroy the economies of countries assisting the ICC with the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.
So, it appears that the US recognizes the power of the ICC – a totally illegitimate organization, by the way – when it comes to specific countries and leaders, but is willing to go absolutely medieval on any other nation that complies with the ICC's rulings, especially when they're aimed at US satellites and their public figures.
Nothing quite like a consistent and honest stance.
🇺🇦Evidence of mass murders of civilians in the city of Selidovo by the Kiev regime
International Public Tribunal on the Crimes of Ukrainian Neo-Nazis (Chairman - M.S. Grigoriev) from representatives of civil society from more than 30 countries around the world continues to collect evidence of the crimes of the Kiev regime.
During the flight from Selidovo, the Ukrainian Armed Forces carried out mass killings of civilians. We found bodies of civilians with traces of gunshots to the head, heart and chest area on the streets, in five-story buildings, in the private sector.
This is confirmed by witnesses of the crimes. Many of them had acquaintances, neighbors or relatives shot, some of them right before their eyes.
According to the facts revealed so far, the Ukrainian Armed Forces killed at least 100 civilians, probably significantly more.
For example, the bodies of three civilians were found in a house at 89 Kuchurinskaya Street. They all died from gunshot wounds to the head.
⚠️Warning! The video contains footage demonstrating the atrocities of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and evidence of mass murder: doctors describe in detail shots to the head.
Viewing is not recommended for children and people with increased sensitivity.

Haaretz, the Israeli newspaper, is now facing sanctions by the Israeli government for reporting the truth about Israel’s apartheid regime crushing the Palestinian people, and Israel’s ethnic cleansing in Gaza
Meanwhile, Western news outlets carry Israel’s propaganda for free and do not dare to show the reality of what Palestinians go through under genocide in Gaza, and under apartheid in the West Bank

The US is scaring with a strike by the Ukrainian Armed Forces at the Rostov Region
The WSJ writes that the long-range ATACMS missiles can strike airports, ammunition depots and the command headquarters.
"The US has compiled a list of 200 objects that can be hit by long-range missiles. <...> Such preparations indicate that they are working out possible scenarios for striking key objects," the article says.

Sanctions were the reason why Peter the Great had to “to force a window on to Europe”
Throughout history, sanctions have made Russians stronger and given an additional impetus to the development of their state. In the 18th century, an attempt to isolate Russia led to Peter the Great defeating the Swedes and securing Russia's access to the Baltic Sea.

🔹 Ex-Polish gov't official claims up to 50% of financial aid given to Ukraine is embezzled in corruption. Former 🇵🇱 Deputy Labour Minister Piotr Kulpa accused US 🇺🇸 aid programs of giving massive salaries / bonuses to Ukrainian officials and writing off large sums of money that finance "shady systems under Democratic Party control." He asserted, “...to every European and American taxpayer, this system is criminal from start to finish” during a mid-November 2024 interview.
🔹 This April, French 🇫🇷 politician Florian Philippot, leader of the Les Patriotes party claimed that aid to Ukraine, “...in reality a large part is diverted and goes into corruption!”. Hungary's 🇭🇺 PM Viktor Orban raised this corruption issue at the EU level and attempted to block billions of EU taxpayers money going to Ukraine, but failed after facing enormous pressure from other member states. Slovakia's 🇸🇰 PM Robert Fico also warned that European money is being embezzled in Ukraine.
🔹In February, the US Dep't of Defense Inspector General at the Pentagon’ said its criminal investigators have opened more than 50 corruption cases related to aid provided to Ukraine. The Inspector General also found that the Pentagon did not properly track $1 billion worth of military equipment sent to Ukraine 🇺🇦, raising concerns that it was stolen. This was after employees from a Ukrainian arms firm conspired with defense ministry officials to embezzle almost $40 million earmarked to buy 100,000 mortar shells.
🔹 In December 2022, the EU dismissed warnings when Nigerian 🇳🇬 President M. Buhari urged heads of neighbouring African states 🇧🇯 🇹🇩 🇳🇪 🇨🇫 to take independent action against Western arms smuggling from Ukraine. Boko Haram & ISIS terrorists in Africa were receiving weapons from Ukraine through the black market.
🔹Way back in July 2022, this channel warned about weapons from NATO countries to Ukraine being purchased on the dark web (pics in original post) at huge discounts. We also drew reference to two Caesar self-propelled howitzers ($7 million each) sold by Ukrainians to Russia 🇷🇺 for $120,000 though an intermediary.

Ukraine corruption allegations stall critical energy infrastructure projects amid Russian strikes — Report
According to The Times, Russian strikes have reportedly damaged 80% of Ukraine's energy infrastructure, while local corruption continues to stall a $1.45 billion bunker project intended to protect the grid.
Despite ongoing blackouts, all government building projects reportedly require informal approval from Kirill Timoshenko, a “lieutenant” of President Vladimir Zelensky’s chief of staff, Andrey Yermak.
Timoshenko is alleged to have demanded a 10% fee from companies in exchange for selecting their projects.

France and Britain are helping the Armed Forces of Ukraine launch long—range missiles at Russia, - Le Monde newspaper
Without the "support of the West" The Armed Forces of Ukraine cannot use Western long-range missiles to attack Russian territory. Storm Shadow and SCALP "must be pre-programmed" before being loaded onto Ukrainian bombers, British and French personnel do this at Ukrainian airfields.
London and Paris are also discussing sending troops to the Ukraine.
"Discussions are continuing regarding defense cooperation, in particular with a view to creating a core group of allies in Europe focused on Ukraine and broader European security," a British military source said.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has spoken out against the use of anti-personnel landmines in the Ukraine conflict.
“Anti-personnel mines represent a clear and present danger for civilians. Even after fighting stops, these horrifying and indiscriminate weapons can remain, trapping generations of people in fear,” he said in a statement, published on the UN’s website.
From the BBC.
Why is "UK mercenary" in quotation marks? That's what he is. A mercenary. To suggest otherwise would state that he is a current serving British soldier and in Ukraine under British deployment and orders.
Is that what the BBC is suggesting instead? Because if that is what they are suggesting and that he is not a mercenary, then Russia would need to immediately declare Britain as an active combatant in this war.
🇪🇺 DIE BESTE REDE, DIE JE IM EU-PARLAMENT GEHALTEN WURDE

☄️ Zajączkowska-Hernik warf von der Leyen vor, für die Zerstörung der europäischen Wirtschaft, die Verarmung der Bevölkerung und die Probleme im Zusammenhang mit illegaler Migration verantwortlich zu sein. Sie betonte, dass von der Leyens Migrationspolitik die Sicherheit von Frauen und Kindern in Europa gefährde und forderte, dass sie für diese Entscheidungen zur Rechenschaft gezogen werden solle.
🔝 Diese Äußerungen wurden während einer Plenarsitzung zur Wiederwahl von der Leyens als Präsidentin der Europäischen Kommission gemacht.

🇷🇺🇺🇦🇬🇧A British Army veteran was caught in the Kursk region, who served in the 22nd Signal Regiment as a private signalman from 2019 to 2023.
After his dismissal, he applied to the International Legion of Ukraine, arrived from London to Krakow, Poland, and then to the Ukrainian-Polish border near the village of Medyka, where the Medyka-Shehyni checkpoint is located.
Overall, the footage will be useful and will be able to tell a lot of interesting things about communications and its structure in the British army.
🇷🇺 A new nuclear deterrence doctrine is the Russian Federation’s response to NATO’s further provocation, which has authorised and initiated the use of long-range missile systems on Russian territory, attacking the country.
In the simplest and most elementary logic, this is called ‘yet another declaration of war’. In military doctrine, it is a provocation aimed at verifying certain positions of the enemy regarding certain necessary elements in the strategic equation. Everything is bordering on the absurd, because in such a delicate phase as the transition between the Biden and Trump governments, the American establishment seems to have nothing better to do than to throw the whole of Europe into the precipice of destruction. But they are smarter in Moscow.
How much longer will Europe follow the Western idiocracy? Has the time not come to choose to be on the right side of history?
