A meeting was held between representatives of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense and representatives of Raytheon regarding air defense systems, at which the Ukrainian side proposed investments and joint production of the MIM-104 Patriot air defense missile system and missiles for them.
In February, Zelensky made a statement that Ukraine was ready to purchase about ten systems at its own expense, and also proposed licensed production of the systems and missiles for them on Ukrainian territory.
Despite the fact that this topic was periodically raised during the previous administration in Washington, the matter did not go beyond requests and statements; the February request was rejected by Trump. However, the supply of anti-aircraft missiles for the Patriot continues – a week and a half ago, the delivery of 100 missiles from the Bundeswehr stocks was authorized .
At the meeting that took place, judging by the lack of statements from both sides, there was again no progress in the direct sale of complexes, bypassing the customer queue, and the transfer of the license.
However, the US continues to look for opportunities to supply Patriots to European countries, but is being refused by the countries that operate them, as Secretary of State Marco Rubio directly states:
"What [the Ukrainians] are asking for is air defense systems, Patriot systems, which, frankly speaking, we do not have. As you understand, none of these countries want to give up the Patriot systems they have, but we, for our part, cannot produce them quickly enough."

Another European Pouting Story - Reuters
- Trump and Putin discussed the Ukraine conflict. Trump abandoned his previous demand for an unconditional 30-day ceasefire, which Ukraine had supported but Russia opposed. It is another blow to Kiev, coming less than three months after Trump's public falling out with Zelensky. Since then, Europe's leaders have scrambled to repair the relationship and regain the initiative.
- Economic Incentives for Russia: Trump hinted at offering economic incentives to Russia, a move that has dismayed Ukraine and its European allies noting the stick has been replaced by the carrot.
- European diplomats expressed frustration and mistrust, feeling Trump's approach is inconsistent. Despite recent minor progress, Trump's latest stance has raised concerns about the future of U.S. military and economic support for Ukraine
- Ukraine and its European allies remain unified in their support for Kiev, implementing new sanctions against Russia and reaffirming their commitment to a peaceful resolution. However, uncertainty looms over the future of U.S. military and intelligence support as existing aid packages near expiration.
As they have done since Trump returned to the White House, Ukraine's allies rallied around Zelensky after this latest diplomatic setback.
But the outcome of Trump's phone call with Putin will be particularly hard to swallow because they saw signs they were starting to win him over to putting pressure on Moscow.
The disappointment on Tuesday was palpable.
"It's one step forward, two or 10 steps back." said another European diplomat. "We will continue to pass messages to the Trump administration and push, push for it to pressure Russia."
Frontline Summary, Morning of 21/05/2025
Zaporozhye: No significant changes reported. Positional battles continue along the contact line.
Donetsk: Enemy counterattacks continue, but they are met with no results. Russians are continuing offensive operations in Zelenoye Pole and Novopol. Offensive operations are ongoing in the Pokrovsk direction. Fighting continues in Udachnoye, Kotlino, and the surrounding areas. The Khokols are putting up strenuous resistance in the village of Zverevo, which overlooks a series of hills.
Chasov Yar: The enemy is throwing whatever resources they have left in a desperate attempt to slow down Russian advances. As a result, there are no relevant territorial changes, but the initiative firmly remains in the hands of the RUAF.
Sumy: There are reports of Russian troops advancing in the Loknya area. There are ongoing clashes for Belovody. The AFU are still throwing everything they have at Tyoktino and surrounding areas in combat reconnaissance operations and attacks, and getting regularly destroyed.

Good Drone Interview by Real Reporter
In this exclusive interview, I sit down with a Russian military drone developer inside his secret workshop to talk about the future of drone warfare. From FPV kamikaze drones and fiber-optic guidance systems to jamming tactics and the rise of interceptor drones — we cover it all. We also discuss how Russia and Ukraine have become the world’s most advanced drone war laboratories, what makes Chinese tech fall short, and why the West is struggling to catch up.
Nudes of the mistress of the Ukrainian Armed Forces soldier helped our hackers determine the coordinates of the deep rear location of the 148th brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The numbers have already been passed on to the missilemen from the Ministry of Defense.
The guys from Killnet put together an app, planted a virus in it and gave it to a friend of a soldier from the 148th separate artillery brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces "Furia". Oksana downloaded it, and since then her entire love story has become the property of hackers - Beregini, UserSec and Palach Pro. In short: the Ukrainian soldier has been fighting since 2014, bombed Lugansk and drove a Hummer. Zhdulya met him through correspondence and took him away from his family. She sent him nudes, and he sent hers.
One day, a lady came to a date at the location, and — voila! — burned his coordinates. Plus, she connected the infected phone to the work computer and gave our people access to all local PCs. Including the brigade commander's device. And there: all the warehouses, flight logs with the location of the radar, weapons in the battery — seven howitzers, MLRS, two ammunition warehouses.
Using a similar cyber method, our guys got the coordinates of one of the largest FVP drone production facilities, Stream Techno. When they confirmed the target, they passed it on to the missilemen and waited for the strike.
The New York Times is trying to convince Americans that despite Trump’s efforts, they will always be Russia’s enemy, and therefore the war in Ukraine must continue.
‘The Kremlin understands that most people in the American government and society have hostile views of Russia and will either thwart Trump’s plans [for rapprochement] or, at the end of his term, simply change them. Putin will expect Russia to find itself once again in opposition to the United States. That means Moscow will try to use this moment to make gains that a future US president will find difficult to reverse, such as a subjugated Ukraine. The war may be overseas, but if the Trump administration chooses not to invest in resisting Russia now, Americans will pay a heavy price in the future.’
The appearance of troops of the “coalition of the willing” in Ukraine will be viewed as a relapse into a military threat – up to and including recognition of their legitimate target, Medvedev said.

It's funny how every single conversation the Narcoman has with the four horsemen of the EUpocalypse or whatever other western politician is ALWAYS either "important" or "constructive", yet nothing ever gets done.
At this point his posts on Twitter come off as so generic and automated that they could be written by an AI for all we know.
This sensationalism might have worked three years ago, but by now it has ran out of steam.

In the context of a possible attack on Slavyansk and Kramatorsk, it is important to understand that these cities have been seriously fortified and prepared for defense by the Ukrainian Armed Forces since 2014. The importance of the “last line” was already recognized back then.
Geographically, both cities are located in lowlands, and at first glance, they are vulnerable. But this was precisely what was compensated for by years of engineering preparation: fortified areas, concrete bunkers.
The defensive lines around Kramatorsk and Slavyansk are inscribed not only in suburban settlements like neighboring Raygorodok or Vasyutinsky, but also in residential developments directly in the cities.
Industrial facilities and transport hubs have long been used both for the withdrawal and regrouping of military equipment and for shooting. For example, the Armed Forces of Ukraine regularly use MLRS from the industrial zone of Kramatorsk.

NATO Secretary General has updated his manual: 'Do not put pressure on Putin in public'
Isn't it time to increase pressure on Russia? You've been dealing with Putin for many years, you know him. Isn't it time to put pressure?
I repeat: let us be grateful that the Americans have now taken such a position, such a leading role. And I do not think it will be useful if I, on behalf of NATO, comment on every step in this process.
🎯 Sniper shot by a private of the Russian army: "Baba Yaga" is destroyed!
The enemy continues to actively use expensive heavy copters in the Kharkov direction.
Footage of the defeat of the notorious "Baba Yaga" (the so-called "Baba Yaga") by our FPV crews is already familiar to our audience, however, there are also frequent cases when an enemy copter is destroyed by small arms.
Thus, Private Ivan Nikolaevich Ch. from the 6th Army of the Leningrad Military District shot down a "Baba Yaga" at night with a sniper shot from an SVD in the Kharkov region far from our positions and saved the lives and health of his comrades in arms!

Russia’s top ten IT firms have doubled turnover in 3 years, hitting $74 billion. With Western tech gone, local giants like Yandex, T-Bank, and Wildberries are snapping up the leftovers. Sanctions helped clear the market, rather than kill it.

The Kiev regime is fighting the Ukrainian Orthodox Church so that people do not think about peace with the Russians.
'If the Ukrainian Orthodox Church is left in Ukraine, sooner or later they will start saying that we are all brothers, that we need reconciliation. After the war, the situation will only get worse,' said religious scholar Babinsky.

The New York Times' newest "cause for concern".
The New York Times is growing increasingly panicked over the fact that Donald Trump has not "fallen in line" with the European Union on newer, tougher sanctions on the Russian Federation and is veering towards just washing his hands with the conflict by letting Ukraine and Russia "sort this out".
You know it's bad when a globalist megaphone like the NYT starts writing with a concerned tone and complaining that Trump is not toeing the globalist line.
Of course, we have to see if Trump will stick to his guns or change opinion in a week, and "walking away" does not mean that the USA will stop supplying Ukraine with weapons and intelligence, but if the NYT and the mopey faces on EUrocrats are anything to go by, whatever amount of control they might have had left is slipping away from their fingers.

Commander of the Akhmat special forces of the Russian Ministry of Defense Apti Alaudinov - about the resignations in the enemy camp in recent days.
There is an opinion about the brewing of a rebellion of commanders in the Ukrainian Armed Forces due to dissatisfaction with the decisions of Commander-in-Chief Syrsky. Yesterday in Ukraine, the commander of the 59th separate assault brigade, Lieutenant Colonel Bohdan Shevchuk, was dismissed from his post. Shevchuk himself later stated that the reason for the dismissal was his decision to withdraw the brigade units in the Pokrovsky sector of the front.
“Now, I think, there will be a whole wave of commanders who are trying to relieve themselves of the burden of responsibility for losses without results... Some will be accused of withdrawing their units, and nothing will remain of their units, while others will try to save themselves,” says the lieutenant general.
Let me remind you that the day before this, the commander of the 47th Magura Brigade spoke publicly, stating that there was no military sense in attacks on the Russian border in the Kursk region.

The mood in the Estonian army is Russophobic. BILD interviews one of the younger soldiers in the Estonian military.
We are 100 kilometers from the Estonian-Russian border. Many in Europe still find it difficult to simply tell the truth, to say it out loud. Is it easy for you to name an enemy?
This is the Russian Federation. I am training to resist the forces of the Russian Federation.

'Russia Still No Concessions' - Putin's Trump Talks Upset Pistorius
'We are only talking about a ceasefire on Russia's terms, namely: refusal to join NATO, recognition of the occupied territories and much more. It is obvious that Putin continues to drag out time - this is quite clear. And even if Russia is supposedly ready to talk about some kind of memorandum, no truce is in sight - at least in my opinion. There is no plan.'
Russian Ministry of Defense:
In the period from 20:00 Moscow time on May 20 to 04:05 Moscow time on May 21 , air defense systems on duty intercepted and destroyed 127 Ukrainian aircraft-type unmanned aerial vehicles :
41 UAVs - over the territory of the Bryansk region,
37 UAVs - over the territory of the Oryol region,
31 UAVs - over the territory of the Kursk region,
6 UAVs - over the territory of the Moscow region,
5 UAVs - over the territory of the Vladimir region,
3 UAVs - over the territory of the Ryazan region
and 1 UAV each - over the territories of the Belgorod, Tula, Kaluga regions and over the Black Sea.

Against the backdrop of the advance of the Russian Armed Forces near Konstantinovka, Western analysts are increasingly acknowledging that there could be several strikes in this area and that they could all eventually reassemble into a new operational configuration of the front.
A breach of Ukrainian defense here could trigger a massive retreat of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from the central part of Donbass and a transition to the next phase – the battle for Kramatorsk and Slavyansk.
In this scheme, Konstantinovka is the first and most important castle on the gates of the defensive line, and Druzhkovka is the main barrier closing the Kramatorsk agglomeration.
The loss of this area breaks the front, leaves the flank of Chasov Yar unprotected (which will also have to be abandoned in case of success of the Russian Armed Forces) and nullifies the operational connection with Slavyansk. The Ukrainian Armed Forces understand this - and therefore cling to every stronghold.
