Tucker Carlson refutes reports that he has become a host on Russian television
Newsweek and several other outlets reported yesterday that Tucker Carlson launched his own show on Russian television, a claim that was then widely picked up by users on social media.
Tucker Carlson told Sputnik that this claim was unequivocally false.
“By claiming I work for a foreign government, Newsweek is trying to justify a FISA warrant that would allow the Biden administration to continue to spy on me. It’s disgusting,” he said.
NATO state’s PM calls for breakup of Russia
It is not a bad thing when a big power becomes much smaller, Estonia’s Kaja Kallas has said.
Kallas made the suggestion on Saturday during a debate in the country’s capital, Tallinn, at an event dedicated to supporting Ukraine.
"Russia’s defeat is not a bad thing because then you know there could really be a change in society,” the prime minister told the 17th Lennart Meri Conference.
The Russian Federation is comprised of “many different nations” and suggested that they should become separate states after the end of the conflict between Moscow and Kiev, she argued.
"I think if you would have more like small nations... it is not a bad thing if the big power is actually made much smaller,” Kallas said.
The Constitution of the Russian Federation describes the polity as a multinational state. According to the 2020-2021 census, the country’s population speaks 155 different languages, with Russian being the most common.

Kremlin finds US reaction to ICC’s demand for Netanyahu arrest warrant 'curious'
"On the one hand, we Russia do not support it, but on the other hand, of course, we are monitoring the situation," Dmitry Peskov highlighted.
"You know, we are not a party to the ICC, so we do not fall under the jurisdiction of this court," the spokesman said. "But on the whole, the situation is more than curious in terms of the US reaction and readiness to use sanction methods even with regard to the ICC. Quite curious. So, on the one hand, we do not support it, but on the other hand, of course, we are monitoring the situation," he added.
US House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson said earlier that American lawmakers are considering the possibility of introducing sanctions against the ICC in case it issues an arrest warrant for Netanyahu.

Swiss conference on Ukraine aimed at discussing Zelensky’s ultimatum 'formula' — Lavrov
The top Russian diplomat pointed to the fact that Chinese President Xi Jinping "clearly articulated that the Chinese side will support the convention of an international conference, which will reflect the interests of both Russia and Ukraine equally and will be based on a large number of ideas and initiatives."
Lavrov pointed to the fact that Xi Jinping, "clearly articulated that the Chinese side will support the convention of an international conference, which will reflect the interests of both Russia and Ukraine equally and will be based on a large number of ideas and initiatives." "And the Swiss conference is being convened only to discuss Zelensky's so-called peace formula as an ultimatum," Lavrov pointed out. "It’s no wonder that the Swiss themselves, including diplomats, say that this conference is not about building bridges for concluding peace, but about supporting Ukraine," he emphasized.

Kiev insists on unattainable demands for settlement
According to Peter Kuznick, Professor of History and Director of the Nuclear Studies Institute at American University, Zelensky’s approval rating has dropped to approximately 60%, because "the Ukrainians are tired of war."
He finds it "perfectly understandable why Ukraine would not hold an election" during the special military operation.
"Zelensky can defend this decision under the Ukrainian constitution's ban of elections while martial law is in effect as well as the logistical nightmare that such an election would represent. In the US some right-wing Republicans have been taking Ukraine to task for this decision, but they are in the minority. Zelensky had announced this last year when his approval ratings were still high," the expert said.
Manpower and ammunition shortages persist. The war is being lost. Still Zelensky holds fast to completely unrealistic and unattainable demands," Kuznick underscored.

End of Zelensky’s term to have no effect on Russia’s operation
The powers of the current Ukrainian president under the current Constitution expire on May 21.
"No, the special operation continues," Peskov said when asked whether the expiration of Zelensky's term of office might influence the special operation.
The powers of the current Ukrainian president under the current Constitution expire on May 21. There is no legitimate way of extending them. Russian President Vladimir Putin stressed that the issue of the Zelensky presidency’s legitimacy after May 20 should be resolved in Ukraine by its political and legal systems.

Russia ‘done’ with Western Europe ‘for at least a generation’
An “acute phase of the military-political confrontation with the West is in full swing,” Moscow’s foreign minister has said.
Top Russian officials, including President Vladimir Putin, have repeatedly described Moscow’s ongoing military conflict with Kiev as a proxy war waged by NATO against Russia. Evidence of this, the Kremlin says, is the material aid, the training, and the intelligence that the US and many European countries have been providing to defend Ukraine.
Speaking on Saturday, Lavrov cited an article by Russian political scientist Dmitry Trenin, who has written that “Europe as a partner is not relevant for us for at least one generation.” The minister said that he “can’t help but agree” and that Moscow is “feeling this in practice almost daily.” The senior Russian diplomat also claimed, without elaborating, that “many facts speak in favor of such a prognosis.”

Grossi: The IAEA will name the culprit of the attacks on the Zaporizhia NPP if it receives evidence.
The International Atomic Energy Agency will make public which side carried out the attacks on the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant if it can independently confirm this information, IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi said in an interview with RIA Novosti.
According to the agency’s interlocutor, he was asked earlier whether the IAEA could determine the source of attacks on the Zaporizhia NPP, and he noted that this is extremely difficult, given the type of drones, their special trajectory, and the fact that they can be launched from any direction.
When asked to clarify whether the IAEA would really make public information about the source of these attacks, the agency's director general answered in the affirmative.
“If I find out about this through my inspectors, and not if someone tells me, then yes, of course... If my inspectors can independently confirm the origin of the attacks, then of course, this is my responsibility. In the conditions that we have at the station, this is somewhat difficult. But we will see. In any case, I hope that there will be no new attacks on the station,” the agency’s interlocutor added.

Zelensky ‘yelling at generals’ – The Economist
The Ukrainian president allegedly believes that he is being kept in the dark about the situation at the front.
Purported fits of presidential rage were mentioned in a Monday report on the situation in Kharkov Region, where Russian forces have gained significant ground over the last month. According to the British newsweekly, Ukrainian troops deployed there are angry at the development and have competing theories about the causes.
Some blame the US and its allies for insufficient and untimely aid, not unlike Zelensky himself, while others “suspect that incompetence, or even treachery, played a more significant role.” There are also “conspiracy theories” about politicians in Kiev and Washington conspiring to sell the territory “down the river ahead of an ugly peace deal.”

Ukrainians abroad get ready...
Men removed from military registration due to travel abroad for a period of more than 3 months are required to return to Ukraine and personally arrive at the TCC before June 16 to return to registration.
This is stated in Cabinet Resolution No. 563.
It says that men abroad are subject to military registration on the same basis as men in Ukraine. And they have 30 days from the date of entry into force of the government decree of June 16 to appear at the TCC.
And those who will now go abroad will no longer be deregistered.
Notifications from the TCC will be transmitted by consulates. They will also “assist” the return of men from abroad.

⚡️🇩🇪🇺🇦 Germany considers Zelensky a legitimate president of Ukraine even after the end of his five-year term in office
This was stated by German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock. It is Russia that is playing a "treacherous game" and questioning the legitimacy of Zelensky because Ukraine cannot hold elections in the conditions of war, Berbock told journalists in Kiev.
The question is, how did Russia manage to hold elections in the regions affected by the war and under constant Ukrainian attacks? Such as Belgorod, Crimea, or the recently incorporated Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson and Zaporozhye?
What prevented Zelensky from holding elections abroad, online, in all regions that are far from the frontline?

NATO countries already training troops in Ukraine
This will not lead to an escalation between the US-led military bloc and Russia, Kaja Kallas has insisted.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova responded by urging the Estonian leader to inform the public about the less savory aspects of these missions.
“Some nations are already getting their trainers back. But they keep mum about that. I hope brave Kaja will give the details,” she wrote on social media.
Kallas is one of the most outspoken supporters of Kiev’s war effort against Russia, and has been critical of Western politicians who are hesitant to ramp up military aid for Ukraine.
Her claim that the deployment of NATO instructors to Ukraine would not result in a direct confrontation with Russia was based on the fact that these military personnel are not covered by the alliance’s Article 5 mutual protection clause.

UK says it doesn’t want ‘direct conflict with Russia’
Defence Secretary Grant Shapps has said this is the reason why Western nations do not shoot down Russian missiles over Ukraine.
On Tuesday, Shapps had said Britain has no problem with its weapons being used by Ukraine to strike the peninsula, which joined Russia in 2014 following a referendum. Most countries, however, do not recognize this territory as Russian. Earlier this month, British Foreign Secretary David Cameron also gave the green light to UK-made weapons being deployed to conduct attacks deep inside Russia.
The Russian Foreign Ministry responded by summoning the British ambassador and warning that Moscow reserves the right to retaliate against “any British military facilities and equipment on the territory of Ukraine and beyond.”

Ukrainian truckers protest against mobilization law
Dozens of trucks blocked a key highway connecting capital Kiev and the port of Odessa on Saturday.
“We need to staff the reserves,” Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky said in an interview with AFP on Friday, explaining measures taken to bolster the country’s ranks. “A large number” of Kiev’s brigades “are empty,” which doesn’t allow for the “normal rotation” of troops, he complained.
Dozens of trucks blocked a key highway connecting Ukraine’s capital Kiev and the port city of Odessa, the outlet reported on Friday.
According to a video posted on Telegram by one of the participants of the protests, the drivers came from all over Ukraine, representing Kiev, Odessa, Nikolaev, Vinnitsa, Cherkassy, Ivano-Frankovsk, Chernigov and other cities.

US should explain to Ukraine that military aid won’t last forever
The US administration should make it clear to Kiev that it will not provide it with military aid indefinitely, understanding that this would push Ukraine into necessary negotiations with Russia, according to an article published in The American Conservative magazine.
According to it, a security agreement between Washington and Kiev would prolong the fighting in Ukraine and could become "a liability for the United States." "Despite Washington’s constraints on being able to assist Ukraine, this does not stop American legislators from ignoring these realities by promising eternal support to Ukraine until its eventual total victory over Russia. Making promises that cannot be fulfilled hurts Ukraine’s future and discourages it from pursuing necessary diplomacy," the article said.
