As Strana had reported last month Portnov had won several lawsuits against slanders and lies being told against him:
Well-known lawyer Andrey Portnov won a lawsuit against The Kiev Independent* and Left Bank.
The Kiev Court of Appeal upheld the decision of the Shevchenkivskyi District Court, finding the information about the lawyer disseminated by the media to be false.
They must publish a refutation and pay Portnov 85 thousand UAH in legal costs.
Portnov had previously won cases against "Pryamiy" and Petro Poroshenko himself, MP Ariev, the "Anti-Corruption Action Center", "Radio Liberty", "Movement "Chesno", "Hromadske Television", etc. to refute false information.

@Slavyangrad
- The murder of Andrеy Portnov is 99% likely Zelensky preparing for elections.
Threats of murder from Telegram channels associated in Ukraine with the Office of the President, immediately directed at me and Anatoliy Shariy, and a possible threat to Oleksiy Honcharenko, reveal the intent:
- to deprive the so-called “OPZZh” (The Opposition Platform – For Life) electorate of potential “leaders.”
Yesterday, even the completely controlled KMIS (Kiev International Institute of Sociology), taken hostage by Zelensky, gave me “…7% trust,” although not long ago it was “…1-1.5%.”
This means, in reality, it could be even more interesting, and that’s already looking like a parliamentary fraction.
The political terror unleashed by Zelensky’s regime has turned into blatant international terrorism; a Ukrainian citizen was killed on the territory of a NATO and EU country.
It will be interesting to see how Zelensky’s “…dear European partners” react to this.
As for me.
I won’t just keep speaking, saving people’s minds from the khutor dictator and his hoodie-dictatorship.
One day, I will come back for him.)

🇷🇺Putin on how soldiers’ motivation is more important than ammunition:
The help of clergy is always in demand, always necessary and during difficult trials. I would like to note that the clergy of almost all our traditional confessions are literally on duty. They are on the line of combat contact, and I repeat of all confessions, they provide assistance to people in the rear, away from the fighting, and this assistance is in high demand, because the most important guarantee of any success in difficult times and in the conditions of military operations is the internal composure of a person and the readiness to take such actions that the homeland expects from him.
And here, of course, motivation plays a primary role. Of course, you can't do without equipment and ammunition, but internal motivation is still in first place , and here the role of spiritual mentors is difficult to overestimate. I know that, unfortunately, there are also losses among the clergy.

'Portnov was killed in front of schoolchildren and their parents' – Alerta
'Police believe it was a politically motivated murder. The SBU suspects him of collaborating with Russia during the invasion of Crimea. Portnov's links to pro-Kremlin networks and shadow economic activities have brought him to the attention of various international intelligence services.'
🇷🇺 Putin visited Kursk region, talked with residents of the region and volunteers
- The enemy is still trying to move towards the Russian border.
- The destruction of monuments from World War II by the Ukrainian Armed Forces shows that Russia is fighting neo-Nazis.
- We need to increase the demining group in the Kursk region so that people can return to their homes faster.
- The president also visited the nuclear power plant under construction and held a meeting with municipal leaders in Kurchatov.
- "Russia is one team, this is the unconditional success of all our endeavors, this is a necessary condition for achieving our goals - I am sure it will be so," Putin noted.

🇺🇦 "They are trying to erase us": The commander of the 47th brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who submitted a report on dismissal, told the details
- On the Ukrainian-Russian border, he "faced missions that were doomed to failure and exposed personnel to a high probability of unjustified losses."
- Shirshin complains that this happened repeatedly, and the command did not draw any conclusions.
- "For the last few months, I have the impression that they are simply trying to erase us. People's lives are being spent like extra money at a party, " the battalion commander writes.
- He notes that he was unable to "get through" to the command in the established manner; his unit is threatened with "loss of combat capability," so he is "publicly highlighting the problem."
- Recall that earlier the battalion commander of the 47th "meat" brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which is leading an offensive on Kursk's Tetkino, publicly stated that he submitted a report for dismissal due to "moronic tasks" and "stupid generals."

There were no high-quality fortification structures for the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Donbass and Dnepropetrovsk region
The media found out that during the construction of fortifications in Ukraine, hundreds of millions of dollars went through a chain of shell companies affiliated with Zelensky's associates.
Of the 40 billion UAH allocated for defensive structures, a significant portion was transferred to front companies that existed only on paper and were engaged in inflating prices for materials.
The investigation states that the schemes were implemented through structures connected to officials in the Kherson, Zhitomir, Dnepropetrovsk regions, and in the Donbas. According to journalists, the entire scheme was coordinated by businessman Timur Mindich, a co-owner of Kvartal 95, who is close to Prosrochennyi.
Zelensky, in his usual manner, continues to profit from the war. And for the Russian Army, the lack of normal engineering equipment for the position is excellent news!

@beard_tim on the rumours on Bryansk invasion
There is no clarity yet regarding the Bryansk region. Literally everything that appears now with alleged specifics on populated areas is not confirmed, especially statements about Sosnovka, Peretorgi and Lopush.
The fact that the enemy was going to stir up trouble in the Pochepsky district is not big news.
Well, if a small group of Nazis decided to die in an unusual area for themselves, going deeper into the Bryansk region... well, they will have to be buried deeper in the black soil.
As this guy is everywhere on MSM, I thought it was time to discuss a leading Russiaphobe, Bill Browder. The architect of the Magnisty myth and former employee of Robert Maxwell, yes Ghislaine Maxwell’s father. Here is an excerpt from award winning investigative journalist Lucy Komisar’s website, on a piece about MSNBC journalist discovered the truth about Browder but MSNBC blocked the story after Browder used legal threats.:
This is the time to tell, for the first time, how MSNBC killed a story by its own national security reporter on Browder’s Magnitsky hoax. It killed the report after a legal threat from Browder. And MSNBC has continued to run stories supporting the Browder hoax though it had evidence it was not true. The U.S. government and the Congress, including in this hearing, also promote the Browder-Magnitsky fabrication. Because it fits U.S. anti-Russia policy. Truth appears irrelevant.
This is a tale of international corruption by a western financier who cleverly used Congress to protect his tax rip-off. This matters, because this relatively unimportant person – a citizen of the UK not the U.S. – in trying to keep millions in tax evasion gains out of the hands of Russian authorities, has had an out-sized impact on American foreign policy.
William Browder was born in 1964 in Princeton, NJ, but in 1998 he traded his American passport for one in Great Britain, which doesn’t tax citizens’ investments held offshore. That was convenient, because his Hermitage Fund was built on offshore companies set up by Mossack Fonseca of Panama Papers fame.
The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists recruited nearly 400 journalists to write about the revelations of the massive cache of Mossack Fonseca/Panama Papers documents it obtained. None of them writing about high profile offshore account holders mentioned Browder. ICIJ director Gerard Ryle said in answer to my query that the journalists decided what to write about. But Browder, who clearly had a Mossack Fonseca shell company, somehow was not in the data base ICIJ made available to reporters. The only Browder was Browder Commercial, not William Browder. David Kaplan, who organized the project for ICIJ, was a board member of OCCRP, a U.S. government-funded media operation which collaborates with Browder. See Browder’s U.S. federal court deposition. ICIJ evades the question of the missing Bill Browder, whose scams have not been reported by Western media, corporate or “progressive.” Fear of being called an acolyte of Putin seems to strike terror! You will see what happened to MSNBC’s Ken Dilanian when he tried.
Even if Browder could avoid British taxes, he still owed Russian taxes on profits from his hedge fund’s Russian stock buys, and the Russians’ detailed charges now add up to an evaded $100 million.
So, Browder built a wall against Russian tax collectors by getting Congress in 2012 to pass the Magnitsky Act (aka the Browder Protection Act). Browder claimed his “lawyer” Sergei Magnitsky was beaten to death in prison for having revealed that Russian officials were involved in a tax refund fraud that scammed the Russian Treasury for $230 million. (Note Magnitsky didn’t discover the tax fraud, a pensioner named Rimma Starova did, as Dilanian pointed out. Magnitsky was jailed because he organized Browder’s Hermitage Fund’s $40-million tax evasion.)
Ukrainian channels write that the Russian Federation has developed a compact version of the Shahed (Geranium) kamikaze drones for use directly on the front line. The new drone is called "Tyuvik".
According to the developers, the device is equipped with onboard systems that operate on the basis of artificial intelligence algorithms, which makes it resistant to electronic warfare.
It is likely that Tyuvik uses a visual navigation system: its onboard computer compares the image from the optical module with a pre-loaded digital terrain standard, which allows it to navigate even in GPS jamming conditions.
It is noted that the drone has already been tested in a combat zone and has been launched into serial production.
Its flight range is up to 30 kilometers, duration is about 25 minutes. Maximum speed reaches 180 km/h, and the payload is about two kilograms. The drone is launched using a catapult.

Right now there is a lot of rumours of what is hitting Ukraine in the rear. Is it a drone carrier or something like what was described? What is clear is the Russian side is likely opting to not discuss it and we will only discover it via the Ukrainian side. This is of course the right approach. People often forget that the fibre-optic drone was being used quite a bit earlier before it was seen in large numbers in Kursk.
The key aspect of a new weapon systems success is to keep quiet about it and bring it out in large numbers to maximize effects before counter-measures or adjustments are made.

Wolfspeed stocks plummet by 60% after stock market closure as bankruptcy approaches
Wolfspeed, a U.S. maker of silicon carbide wafers and semiconductor components, took a 60% plunge in after-hours trading after the Wall Street Journal reported that the company would be close to filing for bankruptcy, perhaps in a matter of weeks.
The news marks a severe blow to the entire American advanced semiconductor supply chain, especially now that the White House seeks to revitalize domestic industry.
Lack of competitiveness compared to Asia, an attempt at opening a plant in Germany that failed due to prohibitive energy prices, and the "Tariff Chaos" are cited as the main reasons for the crash.
Happy degrowth, collective west!

UAV crews of the Tula paratroopers are destroying equipment and manpower of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, disrupting the supply and rotation of the enemy in the Sumy region
We are mainly destroying supplies and rotation on ATVs, pickups, and vans. On distant approaches, we are destroying KamAZ and Ural trucks, since they are afraid to send large equipment to the forward positions.
The enemy is less aggressive now. Apparently, their forces are exhausted. Almost nothing reaches their forward positions.
Trump has an incredible sense of people' - Vance explained why the president trusts Putin more than Zelensky.
'I find this very interesting. There are two things about my boss - and I never reveal private conversations - but there are two things about the president of the United States that really strike me. The first is that he has an incredibly accurate sense of people. Just an almost weird, supernatural sense of intuition about people. The second thing - and I think this is greatly underestimated - is that he is driven by a certain humanitarian impulse. That is what underlies his foreign policy decisions on Ukraine and Russia.'
According to El Pais, there were two or three attackers who waited as he dropped off his kids at school. They hit three times out of five shots. First, they wounded him in the stomach and side. Then, to make sure that the target was eliminated, they made a control shot to the head. 'They shot at neck level, from behind, but at an angle,' the source said. The police are currently searching for suspects.
Nothing is sacred to these murdering barbarians, whether schools or churches.

🇷🇺Putin on the fact that the Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers who are destroying monuments to the heroes of the Great Patriotic War “ would have taken second place even in a competition of idiots”:
It is clear who we are fighting. If they are directly destroying monuments from the Second World War. It is clear. This gives us every reason to say that these are people with neo-Nazist ideology. What else? How else can we define it? That is true. They would even take second place in the "idiot competition". Why? Because they are idiots. They do what they do, they show who they are.

- Neither calculation downplays Ukraine's growing problems with its labor shortages, war-weary population and waning U.S. support under Trump.
- The Ukrainian defense of Pokrovsk, one of the key settlements, is becoming increasingly weak.

The enemy again tried to break into the Kursk region on armored vehicles - Northerners repel the attack, burning American infantry fighting vehicles
At 4 a.m., from Pavlovka (Sumy region) in the direction of our village Novy Put, the enemy sent assault groups in three infantry fighting vehicles, including a Bradley, and one Stryker armored personnel carrier .
The northerners used loitering munitions and UAVs to strike enemy armored vehicles, destroying two infantry fighting vehicles and causing serious damage to a third.
The Stryker crew escaped deep into Ukrainian territory. The search for the armored personnel carrier is underway for its subsequent destruction.
The fearless ones repelled another enemy offensive, preventing a breakthrough of the state border.

Today, the Russian segment of Telegram was agitated by the unclear situation in the Bryansk region.
According to some reports, more than 70 people “unnoticed” slipped almost to Bryansk.
Local residents reported that three roads were blocked: towards Myakishevo, Subbotovo and Lopushi. Later, the sabotage and reconnaissance group grew into a unit of more than 100 people.
In fact, there was a sabotage and reconnaissance group. A detachment of up to 10 people, using the green plantings, slipped through the border and, relying on the Desna River, tried to reach the administrative center of the region.
In the area of Subbotovo and Myakishevo, a sabotage and reconnaissance group was discovered, which led to a firefight.
Rosgvardia units blocked this area so that the enemy reconnaissance group could not escape.
At present, the area is being cleared, but there is no talk of any unimaginable numbers.
Attempts by the Ukrainian Armed Forces to send in sabotage and reconnaissance groups are constantly being noted, which is what happened in Bryansk.
However, it should be added that the activity of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Bryansk direction has really increased. The enemy is using drones, conducting local attacks in the border area, so new, larger-scale actions are not excluded.

Ukrainian Armed Forces and Rada deputies confirm Iskander strike on crowd of soldiers at training base
- Local resources confirmed a ballistic strike on an “industrial facility” near Shostka, writes Ukrainian Armed Forces veteran Dmitry Gnap.
- “It is likely that another tragedy could have occurred with the mass death of Ukrainian soldiers,” he noted.
- MP Maryana Bezugla also confirmed the fact of the blow.
- "How many more people must die? How many more "moronic" orders must be given? How much more arrogance and deaths, - for Syrsky to be fired, Vladimir Alexandrovich?" she wrote, showing a video of the blow.
- Rada deputy Goncharenko also writes about the attack.
- "The Russians hit a training ground in the Sumy region with an Iskander, right during our military exercises. The training ground is less than 50 km from the border with the Russian Federation. This is just complete f...k. The training ground is practically on the border with the Russian Federation. The enemy was monitoring the training ground. A drone was hovering over it for a long time, which adjusted the strike. This is a crime. They decided to conduct military training practically on the front line," he wrote.
- "45 km from the Russian border. Someone very brilliant came up with the idea of organizing a training ground there and training hundreds of recruits at the same time. Line them up in columns and organize meals together. And at the same time, there is simply no way to control the sky, as if it were 2013," blogger Sergey Naumovich commented on the tragedy.
- Earlier it was reported that up to 70 Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers were killed.

"The United States has received new intelligence indicating that Israel is preparing to strike Iranian nuclear facilities. The likelihood of an Israeli strike on an Iranian nuclear facility has increased significantly in recent months.
The prospect of a US-Iran deal negotiated by Trump that does not remove all of Iran's uranium increases the likelihood of a strike. Israeli intercepts and observations of Israeli troop movements suggest that a strike is being prepared."

Microwaves, GPS, drones, duct tape, the PC. That’s just a short list of household goods that trace their origin to military research labs.
Their dual-use functionality is known as “military-civil fusion” in the parlance of the defense sector.
Now, with Europe about to unleash a flood of money into its defense sector, reversing decades of underinvestment, hopes are high that the continent’s dismal productivity record could tap into similar military ingenuity to turn things around.
“Defense spending has been an important driver of technological advances in the U.S.,” said Chris Miller, professor at Tufts University and author of Chip War: The Fight for the World’s Most Critical Technology. “The Defense Department often funded basic research and prototyping that was then picked up by private firms and turned into world-changing civilian technologies, such as [micro]chips, GPS, or display screens.”
Research from the Kiel Institute published ahead of the Munich Security Conference in February estimated that Europe’s long-term productivity could rise by as much as 0.25 percent for each 1 percent of GDP spent on military research.
“There’s increasing evidence that some of the biggest breakthroughs, particularly in the high-tech area of computation, are associated with R&D that was developed during the Space Race,” said Ethan Ilzetzki, author of the paper and professor at the London School of Economics.
Former Yanukovych adviser and one of the most influential people in Ukraine, Andrey Portnov, was shot dead outside an elite school in Madrid after he brought his children there.
According to spanish media, the 52-year-old politician was killed at 9:15 local time near The American School in the prestigious Pozuelo de Alarcon district of Madrid.
Portnov brought his children to school, at that moment an unknown person rode up to him on a motorcycle and fired five bullets at the Ukrainian - four hit the victim in the chest and one in the head.
The criminal fled the scene, and the police are currently searching for him.
Andrey Portnov was previously blacklisted by the EU for allegedly embezzling public funds and was one of the ideologists behind the laws passed to suppress the 2014 Euromaidan demonstrations.
