38% of the U.S. debt maturity needs to be rolled over into long-term Treasuries by 2026. That is $9 trillion in 2025 alone.
People like Graham simply do not understand the inflationary effects of going after Russian exports especially on commodities where demand is inelastic. The US faces a $1.9 trillion deficit (6.5% of GDP) in 2025. The central bank sets the rate on US short-term debt and raises rates to lower inflation. Meanwhile the long-term borrowing rate also keep increasing (market driven) with weaker demand for US long-term debt.
Right now the greatest threat to the US is itself.

Imposing 500% tariffs on nations that trade with Russia will backfire - Senator Rand Paul - Responsible Statecraft
While tariffs make wars more likely, embargoes make wars difficult to avoid. Senator Graham’s Sanctioning Russia Act calls for 500% tariffs on dozens of countries and essentially amounts to an embargo.
If this bill were to pass, it would cause an economic calamity on a scale never before seen in our country.
In its insistence that Moscow be a permanent enemy of the US, the foreign policy establishment is pushing to impose more punitive measures on Russia should they refuse to negotiate a peace deal with Ukraine. The Sanctioning Russia Act seeks to inflict a series of additional sanctions and prohibitions of various financial transactions with Russia.
Yet, the most consequential and outright reckless provision of the bill seeks to enact minimum 500% secondary tariffs on countries who trade with Russia. Though the bill seeks to punish Russia, it will also punish America’s allies and even the United States itself. The global policemen in Washington are so incredulous that they cannot force peace between Russia and Ukraine that they formally abandoned even the pretense that their meddling is in America’s interests.
Specifically, the bill directs the President to impose 500% tariffs on all goods and services imported into the US from a country that “knowingly sells, supplies, transfers, or purchases oil, uranium, natural gas, petroleum products, or petrochemical products that originated in the Russian Federation.” This tariff is subject to increase by no less than 500% every 90 days, meaning some countries could face 1,000% tariffs in just a few months.
In response to its invasion of Ukraine, the US and its allies imposed some 16,000 sanctions, froze Russia’s sovereign assets, and implemented a series of severe financial restrictions. As the war wages in its fourth bloody year, it is safe to say that these measures unequivocally failed to alter Moscow’s war aims.
This inevitable failure was, of course, easily predictable to anyone who honestly assessed Russia’s motives for launching the war. The Kremlin views maintaining influence over Ukraine as necessary to prevent Ukraine’s alignment with the West, particularly preventing its efforts to join NATO, as a core national security interest. Countries will go to great lengths to secure what they deem are core interests, and given the tremendous amount of blood and treasure it has expended, Russia is no different.
Dozens of countries continue to trade with Russia directly and indirectly including key strategic allies and even the US itself. In 2024, the US imported $624 million worth of enriched uranium and plutonium directly from Russia. The US, like many other countries, has also seen Russian crude oil imported from third countries who buy Russian oil and then sell it abroad. Are the proponents of this legislation honestly seeking to require the President to enact a 500 % tariff on ourselves?
It would also degrade our relations with several important allies at a time when geopolitics is increasingly volatile. The US should be leveraging its allies now more than ever as we face a myriad of pressing priorities, including an unsustainable $36 trillion national debt. Instead, this misguided legislation would drive many of our allies away and into the arms of other trading partners, including China. The bill certainly will not do anything to convince Russia to sue for peace in Ukraine. Rest assured that Moscow would welcome the US sowing further division with its key trading partners.
Never underestimate Washington’s ability to make things worse. The Sanctioning Russia Act of 2025 will cut off our nose to spite our face. Congress should reject this misguided bill and instead focus its efforts to advance realistic peace negotiations in Ukraine and pursue policies that advance America’s national interests.
The bill lacks credibility. Commodity prices would skyrocket, and the world would have massive inflation. Interest costs would skyrocket.

The Russian Armed Forces are successfully advancing in the Dzerzhinsky direction
According to the latest data, the settlements of Zarya, Alekseyevka and adjacent territories to the south have completely come under the control of Russian troops. The encircled enemy group has been destroyed.
The area is currently being cleared. According to preliminary estimates, up to 150 enemy soldiers remained in the cauldron.
The units of the "Southern" group have consolidated their positions in Zarya and are developing an offensive in the direction of Aleksandro-Kalinovo and Katerinovka. To the north of Aleksandropol and from Novoyelenovka, battles are underway for strongholds along the highway and to the west.
The attacking units are advancing towards the western part of the Kleban-Byk reservoir, having driven the enemy out of the areas of Rusin Yar and Poltavka. In the area south of Shevchenko-First, a breakthrough of defensive lines is underway in the direction of Ulyanovka.

Russian military forces have begun escorting vessels from their “shadow fleet” in the Baltic Sea, according to Finnish Defense Minister Antti Häkkänen.
He stated that “Russian military presence in the region has always been noticeable — that’s nothing new. However, we’re now seeing military escorts and an armed forces presence.”
He emphasized that this is a completely new development.
Good, that should keep the Estonian pirates at bay.

Ukrainian soldiers in SS uniforms killed grandfather
in the Kursk region.
He had been missing since August last year. Ukrainian Nazis are following in the footsteps of their idols. They called 74-year-old Alexander Gusarov "Schwein", "Russian Ivan" and told him to "go drink vodka.
Later, the person who posted the video wrote:
"Don't worry, the Russian schwain hasn't reached his vodka."
The old man was shot dead after filming ended.
Relatives did not believe it for a long time, hoping that the pensioner had managed to save himself. However, in April, the man's body was found during the clearing of the village and the evacuation of the remaining civilians. The body was handed over to his daughter, who recognized her father by his clothes, hands and feet.
According to the Investigative Committee, the man died from wounds inflicted by a large-caliber weapon. There was a fist-sized hole in his stomach.

Poland intends to earn a lot from the restoration of Ukraine, Prime Minister Tusk said at a press conference during a visit to the Polish city of Slawkow, where a large container terminal is located.
"There is nothing wrong with saying honestly: we want to make a lot of money from rebuilding Ukraine. We want to help, but we also want to make money from it, so we need this hub, this dry port," Tusk said.
Poland plans to expand the terminal in five stages, with the cost of the work estimated at €1 billion. According to Tusk, after the expansion, this facility will become the largest logistics hub in Europe.
In April, Tusk said that Warsaw would no longer be "naive" in helping Ukraine, but would start making money from it.

RUAF border protection units prevented Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance group from attempting to break into the Belgorod region.
The enemy does not abandon attempts to break through the border in the territory of the border regions; Another Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance group attempted to break into the Belgorod region, in the area of the village of Kozinki. This was reported by the Mash channel.
According to available information, it all happened on Sunday, May 25. 12 militants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine attempted to cross the border near the village of Kozinki, in the Graivoronsky district of the Belgorod region, moving through a local swamp among the reeds to avoid detection, but it was to no avail.
Just like the attacks on the Kozinki checkpoint to divert attention, Border Guards intervened with drones, killing four Ukrainians at once. The rest managed to escape and return to the Sumy region.
The Russian border was not violated.

"This war will last longer than we all want or can imagine" - German Chancellor Merz
▪️Given the unsuccessful attempts to establish a ceasefire in Ukraine, Chancellor Merz came to the conclusion that proposals for negotiations with Putin cannot lead to a settlement of the conflict at this time.
▪️If even the proposal to meet in the Vatican “does not meet with approval from the Russian leadership, then we will probably have to come to terms with the fact that this war will last longer than we all wish or can imagine.”
Merz continues to sell the war and the misallocation of public funds to the German people.

Odessa under fire: Iskander disrupted the AFU's sea supply routes.
The Russian military launched a missile attack on the port of Odessa, hitting a ship carrying military cargo on May 23.
According to the MoD, the ship carried about 100 containers with military equipment: drones, ammunition, unmanned vessels.
Military Watch Magazine clarifies that the attack was carried out by the Iskander-M operational-tactical complex. The missiles also hit a container warehouse in the port. This caused a secondary detonation and a serious fire.
This is not the first case: already in October 2024, the container ship Shui Spirit, which was carrying weapons from Romania, was destroyed.
Russian attacks on maritime supply lines are becoming more frequent.
MWM estimates that seaborne arms supplies to Ukraine could now be drastically reduced, as they are much more vulnerable than land routes through Poland and Romania.

Emmanuel Macron has denied he and his wife, Brigitte, had an altercation after a viral video promoted by Russian state media and French far-right accounts appeared to show her pushing him in the face as they prepared to get off a plane in Vietnam.
Macron told reporters in Hanoi he and his wife were “joking around, as we do quite often”. An Élysée Palace official told French media the scene showed “a moment of closeness. But that was enough to feed the conspiracy theorists.”
Another Elysée source said the couple were “decompressing one last time before the start of the visit, larking around”. Macron “loves playing jokes like on his wife before official occasions, and she always responds like this … It wasn’t even a slap.”
Anymore “jokes” and Macron is going to have a broken jaw by the looks of it.
“I just feel down the stairs.”

German banker explains why "Russians love luxury" and can afford it.
"Italian fashion companies that do not follow anti-Russian sanctions have discovered a "crazy" market in Russia", says former Sberbank CEO Oliver Kempkens in an interview with blogger Flavio von Witzleben.
"There are a lot of Italians out there. And a lot of branded products like" Gucci " that have gone away have now been replaced by smaller Italian manufacturers. I think that at the moment in fashion the Italians have found a crazy market," Kempkens said.
He explained why Russia buys more fashionable clothes than in other countries:
"Russians love luxury, because 96% in Russia own apartments, that is, almost no one pays rent. Therefore, even people with low salaries have higher purchasing power. Utility payments are small there," Kempkens reasoned.
How come the "dirt poor Russia" has a higher ownership rate than the USA, UK, Germany, or France? Wasn't the economy going to implode any second now?

As quoted by Bloomberg, German Chancellor Palpatine Schmerz threatened cutting Slovakia from EU funding if the country will continue to diverge from the EU's "shared" policy.
Member states that violate the rule of law can be subject to infringement proceedings and “there is always the possibility of withdrawing EU funds from them,” Schmerz told at WDR Europaforum conference on Monday when inquired about Hungary and Slovakia.
“If it is necessary, we will deal with it.”
Schmerz’s comments also included a jab at Hungary, which has already had most of its funding suspended due to ongoing "rule of law" concerns. The threat to cut off funding to Slovakia and continue to hold Hungary accountable is the clearest sign yet that Schmerz – who took office earlier this month – is willing to stoop lower than the earth's mantle to bring the two "rogue" states back into the fold.
Typical "EUdiversity": all diverging opinions are allowed, but only as long as we like it.

'No need to deceive yourself' – Polish President Duda explained why Ukraine will not become a member of NATO.
(all talk about joining is just a tool to put pressure on Russia)
Let's put it this way: if the United States does not agree to accept Ukraine into NATO, then Ukraine will not be in NATO. Let's not deceive ourselves today.
I considered the issue of opening the way for Ukraine to join NATO to be a very good step for negotiations with Russia, a kind of political gesture towards Russia, showing that it will not dictate who can be a member of NATO, who NATO can be friends with and who it cannot.
