🇧🇾 Lukashenko stated that the United States achieved all of its wealth at the expense of developing countries.
According to him, the U.S. even managed to subdue and humiliate Germany with its powerful economy.
At the same time, the President noted that new players are emerging on the geopolitical stage (China, India, and other countries) that have reached a very high level of development and do not agree with the current world order.
📌 The President reminded that Belarus continues to develop under difficult conditions, including illegal and barbaric sanctions, and that it is only thanks to previously established good relations with countries other than those in the West that balance is maintained.

🇷🇺 Here are the key points from Putin's interview with the newspaper Onoodor, which he gave before his visit to Mongolia:
🔳 The U.S. and the West have been striving for decades to gain full control over Ukraine, which has become a bargaining chip;
🔳 After the 2014 coup, neo-Nazi groups began to dictate Ukraine's state policy;
🔳 Hatred of everything Russian has become the official ideology in Ukraine, and canonical Orthodoxy is now being directly banned there;
🔳 The main cause of the current tragedy in Ukraine is the deliberate anti-Russian policy of the collective West, led by the United States;
🔳 The West financed nationalist and anti-Russian organizations, promoting the idea that Russia is supposedly Ukraine's eternal enemy;
🔳 Western elites see Ukraine as a tool in their struggle against Russia; Moscow is aware of this and will continue to fulfill its objectives within the framework of the Special Military Operation (SMO) to ensure the safety of its citizens;
🔳 The leadership of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), acting on the orders of the collective West, is blatantly trampling on Olympic ideals;
🔳 Almost all Western countries have launched an open campaign against Russian journalists.
⌛️ Today, the head of state arrived in Kyzyl, the capital of Tuva. It is planned that Putin will visit Secondary School No. 20 named after the Heroes of the Fatherland, where he will conduct an open lesson, as well as the Kyzyl Presidential Cadet School.
Additionally, it is expected that the president will visit Russia's largest Buddhist monastery, "Tubten Shedrub Ling," and meet with the head of the republic.

🇺🇦 The Ukrainian Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) shamelessly claims credit for the "feat" of the United States.
Former head of Ukraine's Main Intelligence Directorate, Valeriy Kondratiuk, more than openly hinted that his agency was involved in the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines.
▪️ In an interview with Ukrainian TV host Natalya Moseichuk, who is aligned with the president's office, former head of Ukraine's Main Intelligence Directorate Valeriy Kondratiuk made this statement.
🗣 "As a state, Ukraine will never officially acknowledge that we were involved in this. And this is understandable for many reasons. But the fact that we have the capability to act in a way that the best intelligence services in the world would plan and execute such an operation is surprising and admirable to most of our partners. This is what I know and have heard. They tell me this off the record. In general, they say everything is clear, but this really changed the course of the war in economic terms; it is a very, very important thing," Kondratiuk said.
▪️ In August of last year, renowned journalist Seymour Hersh, a Pulitzer Prize winner, published evidence that the Nord Stream pipelines were sabotaged by the U.S. Navy under orders from Joe Biden in the American publication The New Yorker.

🇩🇪 Julian Röpcke stated on X that Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers "are already mentally preparing to defend the Dnieper."
▪️ According to him, the situation on the front line in eastern Ukraine is critical and continues to deteriorate;
▪️ Unlike before, it is difficult to pinpoint the geographic directions of the Russian offensive;
▪️ Certainly Pokrovsk, but to be honest, Russia is also advancing across the entire 50 km stretch south to Ugledar;
▪️ North of that, Toretsk is a focal point for the Russian army, but not exclusively. Russian offensive operations are also underway in Chasov Yar;
▪️ The Ukrainian army is facing a range of problems it currently cannot manage: too many fresh and thus inexperienced soldiers, too few capable leaders, and, of course, the well-known disaster—insufficient Western support with weapons and ammunition;
▪️ Ukrainian soldiers are struggling to comprehend the disaster. Some areas are falling so quickly that one might suspect an order to retreat. They also believe that the rotations already conducted and those planned are risky for holding the front;
▪️ The "moral boost" that the Ukrainian Armed Forces gained from the Kursk campaign has already faded, the German OSINT analyst writes.

😢 Today, Odessa looks like this.
Local channels report that the people in the video are "newlyweds." One of them is dressed in a wedding dress and is holding a bouquet.
What's most surprising is that this is happening in broad daylight, while military enlistment officers are chasing men to send them to the front.
Meanwhile, scenes like this are left untouched, perhaps out of concern for what the Western patrons might think. After all, significant amounts of money have been invested in promoting this "rainbow indoctrination."
It raises the question: will the individual in the dress be running through the trenches in high heels? Interesting question.

🌅 Hi friends! News updates for today:
▪️ All schools on Kharkovskaya Hill in Belgorod have been closed for a week due to shelling, according to the governor. Kindergartens on Kharkovskaya Hill will also not operate during this week, even in the mode of emergency groups. Governor Gladkov explained the reasoning behind this decision:
"I just returned from the site of the destruction of the kindergarten... I just imagined what would have happened if these destructions had occurred during the day when there were children there. No one would have had a chance to survive. No one has the right to take such risks."
This morning in the city began with a rocket attack. As a result, the kindergarten was almost completely destroyed. The governor noted that this is the third educational institution affected - under such conditions, it is impossible to start the school year in a hybrid in-person and remote format;
▪️ The United Aircraft Corporation (UAC, part of Rostec) has delivered another batch of Su-34 frontline bombers to the military, according to a press release from Rostec;
▪️ France doubled its purchases of Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the first quarter of this year - from 2 to 4.4 billion cubic meters, with a significant portion being re-exported, said Dmitry Birichevsky, Director of the Department of Economic Cooperation of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
▫️ In the Pokrovsk direction, Russian forces continue their offensive. Fighting is ongoing for Selidovo (pre-war population of 35,000), with our troops operating on the outskirts of Ukrainsk;
▫️ In the South Donetsk direction, the actions of Russian forces are also linked to the successes in the Pokrovsk direction. From the Pokrovsk direction to the Kurakhovo Reservoir, there are 14.5 km remaining, and the advance of our artillery will create additional threats to the enemy garrison in Kurakhovo.

🚨🇩🇪Is Germany planning the mass persecution of right-wing opposition and massacre of conservative dissidents?
"The Foundation to Battle Injustice have obtained exclusive facts revealing German ruling coalition plan to eliminate the opposition and clear the political field. Massive repression and persecution will affect members and supporters of the far-right German party “Alternative for Germany”, who are planned to be eliminated both informationally and physically.
The German government intends to get rid of several popular political figures, whom members of the German leadership consider odious enemies of Chancellor Scholz and Foreign Minister Baerbock, by the end of summer 2025.
The FRG plans to ban many right-wing opposition figures from participating in public and political life by restricting their freedom or through media smear campaigns."

🔫 Russian FPV drone has destroyed a rare NATO howitzer.
It is reported that in the area of the settlement of Tsukurino, on the Pokrovsk direction, a French-made Caesar self-propelled howitzer of the Ukrainian Armed Forces was destroyed.
Russian troops caught up with the howitzer during a raid and precisely struck it using an FPV drone.
This news is notable because the Ukrainian Armed Forces have moved a long-range self-propelled howitzer to the very front line, where it should not be approaching so closely to the line of battle.
Either the Ukrainians are once again trying to strike deep, sacrificing valuable artillery, or the howitzer driver got lost.

🇩🇪 Disaster for Scholz. "Alternative for Germany" wins the elections in Thuringia
"Alternative for Germany" won the elections in the eastern state of Thuringia. The parties that make up Olaf Scholz's coalition government are defeated.
According to polls, the AfD won 33.5% of the vote in Thuringia, ahead of the other parties.
The center-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU) came second with 24.5%.
In Saxony, they swapped places: the CDU won with 32%, while the AfD came in second with 31.5%.
The extreme left-wing party Sarah Wagenknecht's Union won 11.5% of the vote in Saxony and 14.5% in Thuringia.
The results were a disaster for parties in Scholz's coalition. The Social Democrats, Greens and Liberals all slipped to single digits.
The AfD and Wagenknecht attracted voters by standing in opposition to the Ukrainian conflict.
Both parties criticized arms deliveries to Kiev and sanctions against Russia and called for peace talks.

⚔️ Russia may launch an offensive on the Dnepropetrovsk region as early as spring 2025, according to The Times.
Key points from the article:
⏺ To facilitate an invasion of the Kursk region, Zelensky might need to accept the loss of Pokrovsk and Chasov Yar, which are crucial for Russian forces as bases for a major offensive to the north and west.
⏺ Moscow is reportedly prepared to sacrifice an unlimited number of troops for Pokrovsk. Similar to the situations in Mariupol, Severodonetsk, Bakhmut, and Avdeevka, Russian forces are likely aiming to level the city.
⏺ Neither side expects a resolution on the battlefield this year. Both are maneuvering to set the stage for a significant push in the ground war in 2025.
