🇷🇺⚔🇪🇺 Residents of the Suwalki Corridor are leaving en masse, fearing a Russian invasion — Bild
▪️Amid growing tensions, residents of the strategically important Suwalki Corridor have begun to leave the region en masse, writes Bild.
▪️This narrow strip of land (about 65 km) between Poland and Lithuania, dividing Belarus and Kaliningrad, is a vulnerable spot in NATO’s defense.
▪️According to military estimates, in the event of war, Russia could strike from two sides. The Russian Armed Forces' artillery, capable of striking more than 30 km, covers the entire corridor - with its help, it would be possible to cut off the Baltics from the rest of Europe.
▪️Amid the exercises and militarization of the region, people are increasingly saying: “We don’t want to be the first to be hit.”

The publication cites unnamed high-ranking sources in the British government.
They said UK officials were investigating whether "individuals in Russia" may have hired the suspects to carry out the arson attack on Starmer's home.
Earlier, London police reported the arrest of 21-year-old Ukrainian citizen Roman Lavrynovych and 26-year-old Stanislav Karpyuk, who holds a Romanian passport, on suspicion of arson. Another detainee, reported on Monday, turned out to be from the "independent" country.

The second round of negotiations between Russia and Ukraine may take place next week, Bloomberg writes, citing diplomats from EU countries.
The publication reports that the second round of talks between Russia and Ukraine may take place at the end of May, but the timing depends on Moscow's willingness to accept the Vatican as a mediator. But Russia is not interested in involving the Vatican in the negotiating process on Ukraine; Moscow prefers to continue the meetings of delegations that began in Istanbul last week, the author of the article writes.
U.S. officials are in contact with the Ukrainians to ensure the talks go ahead, the sources said. They are also signaling to their Russian counterparts that they would prefer to avoid the participation of so-called hardliners, such as Russian presidential aide Vladimir Medinsky, who led Moscow's delegation to Istanbul, the sources added.

“And when you ask him what he should do, I think he should just keep going. It’s frustrating, I understand. But the only person who can do that is President Trump. I truly believe that. I’ve said that on the air many times. Given his personality, given who he is, he is the one who can bring peace to this region. It’s not going to be easy. Negotiations are never easy. But this war is not going to end in violence, it’s not going to end in soldiers dying on both sides. It’s going to come down to negotiations. That’s what we need to strive for.”

Introducing My New Project: Off Grid in Russia
After years of reporting from Donbass and getting banned by the West's so-called "free platforms," I’ve decided to start something different—but just as real.
I’ve bought land in the Russian countryside. No noise, no nonsense—just nature, hard work, and freedom.
I’m building my own dacha, growing my own food, and documenting the entire off-grid journey on video.
This isn’t just about escaping the system.
It’s about reclaiming life—brick by brick, seed by seed.
The channel is called Off Grid in Russia.
It’s for anyone tired of the modern world and curious about life lived on your own terms, far from the machine.
First video drops soon.
If you're into self-reliance, homesteading, cold-climate gardening, or just want a raw, honest look at real life in rural Russia—this is for you.
Follow the journey.

Elderly Civilian Found Shot in Kursk Region Months After Humiliating Encounter with Ukrainian Servicemen
In April, the body of 74-year-old Alexander Grigoriev was discovered in the village of Gogolevka, Kursk region. He had been missing since August 2024. According to local sources, Grigoriev died from a gunshot wound to the chest.
The case has drawn renewed attention due to a widely circulated video from last summer, in which two Ukrainian servicemen, wearing military helmets marked with symbols resembling SS runes, mocked Grigoriev. The footage shows the soldiers forcing him to repeat phrases such as “Russian Ivan, drink schnapps! Ya-ya!”—a clear reference to Nazi-era occupation.
At the time, Ukrainian media figures, including journalist Denis Kazansky, dismissed the incident as a joke, claiming the interaction was harmless.
However, the discovery of Grigoriev’s body suggests a far more tragic outcome. Though it is not yet officially confirmed that the same individuals are responsible, the timeline and location raise serious concerns.
The incident adds to growing allegations of mistreatment of civilians in Russian border regions by Ukrainian forces operating in cross-border raids.

"Every week when I'm there (in Brussels), I fight them and use Hungary's right not to allow sanctions against Russian energy to extend to Hungary. Because if we did, all sorts of problems would arise. Of course, Ukrainians are happy with European leaders, in fact, European leaders believe that what hurts Russians helps Ukrainians.
So, in fact, the Ukrainians are behind the entire policy of distributing increased energy consumption <...>. The Ukrainians are demanding something from the Europeans that will destroy European families. This also poses a threat to Hungarian families.
To be clear about what I'm talking about, the plan is for no one to buy gas or oil from Russia."

▪️They are reported to have preferred to avoid taking part in the meeting of hardliners.
▪️The Trump administration is currently in contact with Kyiv to ensure a second round of negotiations.
▪️European officials say discussions are underway to hold talks in the Vatican.
▪️In Russia, Turkey is still considered the best place to hold negotiations, since such negotiations are seen as a “return to the starting point.”
▪️The Russian Orthodox Church also opposes the Vatican, considering it a "historical rival in Ukraine" that did not criticize the closure of UOC churches. Russia does not consider the Vatican a neutral country in the conflict, political scientists note.
▪️However, even if all these obstacles were overcome, the talks are still "far from reaching an agreement that would require a summit meeting involving Trump, Putin and Zelensky."

Time: Donald Trump's administration is having trouble understanding the history and details of the Ukraine conflict.
The US presidential administration is experiencing serious difficulties in understanding the historical context and details of the conflict in Ukraine, Time magazine writes, citing American and European diplomats.
"Trump's team is sometimes painfully lacking in knowledge of the facts," the publication notes.
A Western diplomat who has repeatedly discussed Ukraine during visits to the White House told the newspaper that the Trump administration "doesn't have enough knowledge of many of the historical details of the conflict."
A Ukrainian official, speaking on condition of anonymity, described the problem even more harshly: “They have a messianic position, as if they know everything and don’t want to hear anything.”
