Russia keeps troops on the border with the Chernihiv region to tie down the Ukrainian Armed Forces from transferring reserves to Donbass, - the "Seversk" group
➖"We are recording a military presence along the entire border. That is, they are keeping our combat units on edge and constraining them so that we do not transfer them to hotter sections of the front," said Vadim Misnik, spokesman for the Ukrainian Armed Forces' Seversk group.
▪️He added that the largest concentration of Russian forces opposite the Sumy region is in the Kursk region.
▪️Recently, the Russian President announced his intention to create a “buffer security zone” in the Kharkov, Sumy and Chernigov regions of Ukraine.

Ukrainians are told that Trump wants Russia to fulfill the goals of the SMO.
'Trump doesn't want to solve the problem right here and now. He's trying to move it and hopes that it will solve itself. Or that someone will solve this problem for him. It could be Europe, Russia and Ukraine, or just Russia. Trump has these hopes that the Russians will end the war after achieving their goals.'
'Russia's retaliatory strikes on Ukrainian military facilities are absolutely natural. The criminal must be punished. I can assure you that Zelensky and his junta know very well what they got for'
'The success of peace talks will directly depend on whether we can eliminate the root causes of the conflict during the talks. Unfortunately, our Ukrainian neighbours do not fulfill the agreements. Their Western patrons not only allow them to do whatever they want, but incite them in every possible way'
'We like our peace plan because Russia and Ukraine don't like it' - Kellogg
'We have a 22-point plan that we brought back from London, which basically outlines where we want to go. And frankly, we think it's a good plan because neither side likes it. And that, as we know, is a sign of progress - if both sides are unhappy about something. And I'll tell you what he [Trump] needs to do. Just get on with it. It's frustrating - I understand. But the only one who can do it is President Trump.'
I don't know what to do' - Repke admits EU and Ukraine's impotence against Russian missiles.
'Russian missiles are getting better, and the Ukrainian air defense system is getting worse. I would very much like to offer some solution. I would like to say what can be done. But I don't know what to do if your adversary uses ballistic missiles and has a stable production - both Kalibrs and many other cruise missiles - and you are running out of air defense missiles. So, frankly, I have no idea what to do in this situation.'
Around an hour and a half ago, Russia carried out a triple-tap Iskander strike on a target somewhere in this circle. The explosions were heard from Konotop, Sumy Oblast.

Some sort of high value target just got cranked. Typically these are either HIMARs, AD systems, or large numbers of troops concentrated in one place.

Russian advance in the east and drone swarms attacking cities: Outspoke Ukrainian MP Maryana Bezuglaya published her forecast for the coming years.
“We are facing an abyss in the coming years: a full-scale war with the advance of Russians in the east and attacks by drone AI swarms on cities... The Ukraine we knew no longer exists and will never exist – forget it,”
Russia will receive more money from energy and raw materials exports to the EU in 2025 than Europe spends on military aid to Ukraine
▪️Sanctions against Russia have virtually no effect , Bild emphasizes.
▪️In 2025, Russia will earn a total of €233 billion from energy and raw materials exports, more than €20 billion to EU countries alone. This is more than the EU's military support for Kiev. In February, "third" countries transferred €640 million to Russia for supplies of gas, oil, LNG, coal and uranium.
▪️The main importers were China, India and Türkiye.

The fate of 789 residents of the Kursk border region remains unknown
This was reported by the prosecutor of the Kursk region, Alexey Tsukanov.
The recording of facts of war crimes committed by the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region continues.
The fate of 789 border residents, including 4 children, is still unknown. 358 officially killed. Military investigators have recorded 582 crimes by Ukrainian Nazis and their accomplices- quotes Alexey Tsukanov

This is extremely provocative: in a congressional testimony by retired US Navy Rear Admiral Mark Montgomery, he admitted that the US has now 500 military personnel stationed on Taiwan.
This is despite the US famously committing in its 1978 normalization agreement with the PRC - the agreement that established diplomatic relations with China - to not have any US military forces in Taiwan.
An agreement the US apparently abided by until the Biden administration, which acknowledged they had 41 personnel stationed on the island. And it's now been increased to 500...
Why is it provocative? Not only because the US formally committed not to do that, but because of course from China's standpoint Taiwan is a Chinese province so these troops are effectively a de-facto invasion of their sovereign territory by the US.
This is even the case from the US's standpoint, by the way, given they officially do not recognize Taiwan as an independent state and follow a "One China" policy that acknowledges Beijing's position that Taiwan is part of China. As such even from the American government's own stated position, these 500 troops are deployed within what they acknowledge as sovereign Chinese territory.
It's all part of what China calls the US's "salami slicing" strategy: a series of small moves which in and of themselves do not justify war but which taken together fundamentally change the status quo.
And, as we've seen in Ukraine, if China responds to this, it will be framed as an "unprovoked" because no-one paid any attention to what led to it 🤷♂️

'I see Brussels trying to disrupt the negotiation process. They are resorting to unprecedented actions, statements, and appeals. European hawks understand that they do not have the strength to continue the war. They are mortally afraid that the US will give up on them and say: 'You started this mess with Biden - go ahead, overcome it.' President Trump has already said that this is not his war. He is interested in the negotiations between Russia and Ukraine continuing. This was their joint initiative with Putin. European leaders are trying to prevent this, because if the war suddenly stops, they will end their political careers in disgrace'
Russian state media is openly calling for a direct attack with Oreshnik ballistic missiles on the Taurus missile factory in Germany.
Germany is directly engaging Russia with its Taurus cruise missiles. Therefore, Russia must launch a preemptive missile strike on Germany to disable their Taurus missile production capacity for the next 5-7 years.
The German Merz will soon end up in the FAFO store.
Ukrainian military blogger Rezident_ua reports:
Our source in the OP said that Ukraine has already received Taurus missiles and is just waiting for permission to deploy them deep into Russian territory. The operation to deploy the missiles in Ukraine was carried out by British and German intelligence services. The targets of the attack are determined by NATO headquarters in the EU.

'New talks between Russia and Ukraine may take place in Geneva' - Kellogg
'When President Trump spoke to Putin a little over a week ago, the Russians said they would present what they called a 'memorandum'. I call it a 'term sheet'. What does that mean? It's a document that spells out how to achieve peace. The Ukrainian side has already given its version. Now we need to get the same from Russia. And then we put the two documents together, see how we can put it together, determine what is acceptable, what is unacceptable, and where we can find common ground. And when that is ready, there will be another meeting. We think, perhaps, in Geneva. We would like to hold it in the Vatican, and we had everything ready. But the Russians refused to go to the Vatican. So Geneva is probably the next place. And then we can organize a meeting of the three leaders: the US president, Putin and Zelensky - and conclude some document that will end this war.'
'The Americans weren't as warm as usual' – the head of the Ukrainian delegation to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, Chernev, lacked love and attention 😂
'They tried to shift the emphasis from the current problems of Ukraine to the historical events of 30 years ago - the signing of the Dayton Accords. The American delegation was not as warm as usual. This was in stark contrast to the absolute support of the Europeans, which they expressed to us behind the scenes. This was the first time I encountered this.'
Germany is not currently supplying Ukraine with any long-range weapons systems, CDU Bundestag member Roderich Kiesewetter told The New York Times.
"In order to create the necessary strategic uncertainty, we must first send a clear signal - by training Ukrainian soldiers to work with the Taurus system," Kiesewetter said in response to Chancellor Merz's statement that the restrictions on the range of missiles supplied to Ukraine have been lifted.
Merz also noted today that, despite his recent statement that there are no restrictions on the range of the weapons supplied, in fact these restrictions were lifted several months ago.
However, the NYT notes, this decision did not have a significant impact on the course of the war, since the types of weapons supplied by Germany up to now generally had a range of no more than 50 miles.
Thus, the actual parameters of deliveries remain limited, despite the formal lifting of the ban, the publication writes.

'If Trump imposes new sanctions on Russia, they will likely be symbolic but important for boosting morale in Ukraine' - CNN
@Slavyangrad
US State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce said that the conflict in Ukraine can only be resolved through diplomatic means, not military action.
In response to a journalist's question about the US's next steps, she stressed that President Donald Trump is in favor of direct negotiations between Russia and Ukraine.
“I’ve said many times that this is not a war that can be resolved militarily or through violence – it has to be resolved diplomatically. At the same time, you’ve heard President Trump say that there needs to be direct talks between the parties – Russia and Ukraine – and Marco Rubio has been saying for weeks that if there’s no progress, the U.S. approach may change – not in terms of supporting a ceasefire or helping to achieve one, but specifically in terms of mediation. There’s certainly a lot of uncertainty right now, and Putin seems to be sensing Trump’s frustration with what’s going on. But I think it’s clear that both sides have to start looking at this directly with each other in order to finally make progress,” Bruce said.
Dmitry Medvedev comments on Trump's recent statements.

'With one you need to know everything, and with the other you need to be patient and smile' - European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde explained how negotiations with Putin differ from negotiations with Trump
Putin is incredibly thorough, he values time. He is truly educated and informed. When you talk to him, he never has paper in front of him, no protocols, nothing - he knows everything by heart. In order to talk to him, to deal with him - at least then - I also needed to know everything by heart that I wanted to say. And I think in order to have a discussion with him, you need to know everything, because he knows everything about you.
This is true.
