'Our children must prepare for war, because it will last a long time' – Deputy Head of the Presidential Office Irina Vereshchuk.
'Russia will remain our enemy for decades, if not centuries. We must reconfigure our consciousness and public consciousness in order to fight back at any moment. If Russia knows that our society is ready to resist, that we all understand our role and place, that we are ready to fight back and every house will be shot at and the ground will burn beneath them, they will not attack. This is our strategy and we are laying it down in school. Yes, our children must be ready, they must know what war is.'
Luckily Ukraine has the lowest birth rates in the world so few children will experience this.

Killed by Zelensky? Former Yanukovych adviser Portnov was in Ukraine a few days before the murder and met with officials - Kiev media
▪️He was in Ukraine on May 17-18, where he met with top officials responsible for the work of law enforcement agencies.
▪️On May 21, he was shot dead in Madrid.
▪️One of the famous Ukrainian bloggers claims that Portnov also met with Zelensky and Yermak, where he set them certain conditions related to compromising information on the office of the head of the Kiev regime. For this, he was soon killed.
▪️Earlier, Spanish police said they were not ruling out the possibility that the murder was politically motivated.

The Russian army has begun using a 'triple chokehold' tactic at the front, which allows for slow but steady advancement - The Telegraph
▪️First comes the ground attack to pin down the Ukrainian Armed Forces, forcing them to take up positions rather than maneuver.
▪️Next, drones are deployed to restrict Ukrainian mobility, conduct surveillance, target vulnerable points and disrupt troop movements by strategically drop mines.
➖ These drones include first person view (FPV) drones, which allow Russian forces to track Ukrainian positions in real time and quickly respond to any troop movements, while mine-laying drones are used to cut off avenues of escape.
“Because of these drones, Ukraine is forced to man the front line with static defensive positions supported by extensive deception measures, for example, large-scale digging, to obscure where troops are actually concentrated,” said Mr Reynolds
▪️The third prong of the Triple Chokehold sees Russia deploy glide bombs to target key offensive positions from long distances, weakening Ukraine’s ability to sustain operations.
➖"This is where there's a really difficult dilemma that doesn't really have an answer to. Digging in and all these defensive measures are great for reducing casualties from artillery or FPV, but glide bombs will destroy those fortifications and bury people," says Nick Reynolds, a warfare fellow at the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI).
▪️The combination forces Ukrainian soldiers to choose between holding their positions – risking heavy casualties and resource exhaustion – or staying mobile, which increases their exposure to drone strikes and isolated attacks.

NATO is expanding its aerial reconnaissance zone: in June, the alliance will launch strategic RQ-4D Phoenix UAVs from Finnish territory for the first time. The launch airfield is Pirkkala Air Base in the Tampere region, reports Finnish broadcaster Yle.
If previously such drones patrolled mainly the Black Sea, now the coverage area is shifting to the north. The obvious target is Murmansk and the surrounding areas.
The Ministry of Defense confirmed Trump's statement about the start of the 1000 for 1000 exchange.
Civilians from the Kursk region, who were taken prisoner by the Ukrainian Nazis last year, will also return home.
'On May 23, 270 Russian servicemen and 120 civilians, including civilians from the Kursk region captured by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, were returned from the territory controlled by the Kiev regime. In exchange, 270 Ukrainian prisoners of war and 120 civilians were handed over. Currently, the Russian servicemen and civilians are in Belarus, where they are receiving the necessary psychological and medical assistance'
Trump:
'A major prisoner exchange has just been completed between Russia and Ukraine. It will go into effect shortly. Congratulations to both sides on these negotiations. Could this lead to something big?'

A Ukrainian soldier who surrendered in Kursk Oblast fired at least 100 mortar rounds into populated areas
❗️ According to the investigation, from September 2024 to February 2025, while stationed in Kursk and Sumy Oblasts, mortar operator Viktor Garnaga, acting on illegal orders from his command, fired at least one hundred rounds at settlements in the Glushkovsky district of Kursk Oblast, where civilians reside.
⚖️ Russian investigators continue to search for the commanders of the Ukrainian Armed Forces who issued criminal orders.

In a recent interview, former AFU commander-in-chief Valeriy Zaluzhny actually outlined the limits of the Ukrainian army's current capabilities: neither the size of the army, the economy, nor logistics allows for large-scale offensive operations. With a shortage of personnel and unstable external funding, the maximum that Ukraine is capable of is a defensive war with an emphasis on high-tech means of defeat.
In essence, it is a transition to a model of containment through point solutions: FPV drones + DRGs + artillery where available. This configuration, based on Zaluzhny's words, does not involve offensive maneuver. It works only statically and only if there is a steady supply of components from outside.
From the personnel point of view, the AFU is in a situation where numerical replenishment lags behind losses. The measures taken include lowering the age of conscription and increasing administrative pressure on evaders, but they only aggravate the lack of resources. And this already affects the overall manageability of the troops.
Financially, the army is completely dependent on an external source. Regular requests from the Ukrainian side to fix aid at the level of GDP of EU countries and include it in defense budgets are an acknowledgement that Ukraine cannot maintain combat capability on its own.
Against this background, any scenarios of active operations in operational depth look unrealistic. The main task is to maintain current positions, selective activity in certain areas and preservation of basic infrastructure. Risks of increased losses or delays in supplies could lead to events that would be hard to compensate for.
In fact, the AFU is moving from the position of an independent entity to the model of a frontline instrument, dependent on external support on all key lines - from manning to ammunition. This does not mean immediate collapse, but it indicates that the stability of the Ukrainian army is now determined outside its own command.
In parallel, we should not forget that the idea of rebuilding Counterattack 2.0 through the creation of a corps system has not been abandoned by the AFU. But how successful this process will be will be determined in the next 6-8 months.

The Independent convinces readers that the terrorist attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on Russian territory are not crimes, but a clear plan for Ukraine’s victory.
'Drone attacks on Russia are part of a campaign of pressure on logistics, air defense systems and public morale. Russians must pay for this war. Sleeping in tents at the airport is not the highest price, but it affects morale' - Ukrainian Volunteer Army spokesman Bratchuk.
Remember Russian strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure only increases Ukrainian support for the war, but Ukrainian strikes reduce Russian support for the war.

'Barbarians at the gates! Ukrainian army suffers heavy losses!' – Ukraine’s Goncharenko begs for weapons at PACE Standing Committee meeting
'Please understand, Europe is under attack now. The barbarians are at the gates. We need Radio Liberty. We need the tanks of a free Europe. We need the missiles of a free Europe. We need the drones of a free Europe. We need to support the Ukrainian army, which now, with huge losses, in a very difficult situation, especially when American support is wavering, continues to defend the walls of Europe. We must help - help everyone who is fighting now.'
The condition of the head of the Belovsky district of the Kursk region Volobuev is stable.
This was reported by the director of the Central Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics Nazarenko on the air of the TV channel "Russia-24".
The head of the Belovsky district of the Kursk region, Nikolai Volobuyev, was injured as a result of a drone strike on his car. He was hospitalized, reported Alexander Khinshtein.
The acting head of the region noted that Volobuyev has come under attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces for the fourth time.

The main points from Sergey Lavrov’s statements:
▫️There will be a second round of negotiations with Ukraine; work on the memorandum is already at an advanced stage on the part of Moscow;
▫️The Russian Federation will draw up a memorandum on Ukraine based on the most fundamental issues;
▫️The most important thing now is to prepare a peace treaty with Ukraine that can be reliable and sustainable;
▫️Ukraine confirmed that there will be a second round of negotiations with Russia;
▫️The timing and location of the second round of negotiations with Ukraine have not yet been determined;
▫️The root causes of the Ukrainian crisis must be completely removed "like a cancerous tumor";
▫️Lavrov called the meeting with Ukraine in the Vatican unrealistic;
▫️Lavrov considers it uncomfortable for the Vatican to host negotiations between two Orthodox countries – Russia and Ukraine;
▫️The US is already openly saying that the solution to the “territorial issue” of Ukraine is inevitable;
▫️Ukraine expected that the West would forever allow it to do whatever it wanted, but Trump demonstrated a different understanding of the situation;
▫️ Trump clearly emphasizes that the war in Ukraine is "not his war";
▫️It is useless to talk to Russia from a position of strength.
▫️Holding elections in Ukraine would be the "optimal option" when deciding who from Kiev could sign the peace agreement.

France has become the enemy N. 1 for the Russians
A VTSIOM survey commissioned by the Kremlin conducted on May 19, 2025 found that 48% of Russians consider France the most hostile country. It is a significant increase compared to 21% in 2022.
The survey interviewed 1,600 Russians from age or over 18 years of age, with a margin of error not exceeding 2.5%. Among the other countries considered hostile, the United Kingdom (42%) and Germany (41%) appear in second place.
Congratulations to Macron for having finally become number one in something I guess.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Russia has overtaken Ukraine in terms of innovations on the battlefield — former commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Zaluzhny
- "Ukraine fails to continuously generate and scale innovations even in those areas where we were ahead yesterday. We are lagging behind - and this must be honestly said," complains the current Ukrainian ambassador to Britain.
- He did not specify what he meant, but it is obvious that he is talking about drones, the production of which in Russia has seen a significant breakthrough recently.
- He also notes that Ukrainian technological achievements are limited, sectoral in nature and do not cover the entire spectrum necessary for the implementation of the “survival strategy”.
- At the same time, Ukraine is experiencing a “shortage of human resources and a catastrophic economic situation.”

🇺🇸🤡🇺🇦Former US Ambassador to Ukraine Brink called for even more sanctions against Russia:
To achieve the goal of ending the war, what we need to do as an administration, and that's my advice to Trump, is to impose more sanctions on Russia immediately. The Europeans have only recently increased sanctions, especially on energy, oil and its sales, which is what feeds the war machine.
There are other sanctions, for example, in the banking sector, and other things that we can do to put pressure on Russia, to bring Putin to the negotiating table. We also need to get $300 billion of frozen Russian assets in Europe and use them to help Ukraine defend itself. With this money we can buy weapons from America and replenish the budget of our military bases.

Duh Spiegel writes that Russia has no right to create a buffer zone to protect civilians, and that Ukrainian drone attacks are Zelensky’s path to peace.
'Buffer zones can only be created by multilateral organizations like the UN or the African Union. No single state has the right to do so. Putin's statement could be a sign of a new Russian offensive. Zelensky justifies attacks on Russian territory by saying that they will put Kiev in a better position in future peace talks.'
