German Defense Minister Pistorius said that Russia annually supplies its army with twice as many tanks as the five largest European countries combined have.
"It is obvious to us that Russia is the biggest threat to our security and will remain so in the foreseeable future," he added.
Interview of Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov with American journalist Tucker Carlson.
For peace in Ukraine, there should be no NATO, military bases or exercises involving foreign troops
On relations with the United States
✅"Officially, we are not at war. Some call what is happening in Ukraine a hybrid war. I would call it that too."
✅"This is not what we want. Of course, we would like to have normal relations with all our neighbors. In general, with all countries, especially with such a great country as the United States".
✅"Russia and the United States have closed communication channels, but they are mainly used to discuss prisoner exchanges. As for Ukraine, the Americans confidentially convey "the same things they talk about publicly."
On the threat of nuclear war
✅"We are not thinking about a war with the United States that could be nuclear in nature. Our military doctrine states that the most important thing is to avoid a nuclear war."
✅Statements coming from the West about the possibility of a limited exchange of nuclear strikes are alarming: "This is an invitation to a catastrophe that we do not want."
On the Oreshnik missile system
✅"The message that we wanted to convey by testing this hypersonic system in real conditions is that we will be ready to do everything to protect our legitimate interests."
✅Russia "would like to avoid misunderstandings," but is ready to "send additional "messages."
✅"We do not want to aggravate the situation. But since ATACMS and other long-range weapons are used on Russian territory, we are sending signals."
✅Moscow automatically notified Washington about the launch of the Oreshnik missile half an hour in advance: "They knew that this would happen and did not take it for something larger and truly dangerous."
On the situation in Ukraine
✅If it were not for the coup in Kiev, Crimea would be part of Ukraine, and if Kiev had fulfilled the Minsk agreements, Donbass would have remained part of Ukraine.
✅"We have no intention of destroying the Ukrainian people. They are brothers and sisters to the Russian people."
✅The key for the Russian Federation is Ukraine's non-aligned status: "No NATO. No military bases, no military exercises on Ukrainian soil with the participation of foreign troops."
✅The settlement must take into account the incorporation of four new regions into Russia and the need to repeal Russophobic laws in Ukraine.
✅The public cancellation of Zelensky's decree banning any negotiations with Putin would have been a signal of his desire to hold them. Instead, the head of the Kyiv regime came up with his own "peace formula" to which a "victory plan" was added.
✅The Russian Federation knows that during conversations with EU ambassadors, the Ukrainian authorities constantly repeat: "no deal unless it is on our terms."
✅Kiev is planning a second summit based on Zelensky's "peace formula," not shying away from saying that it will invite Russia and confront it with the fact of its agreements with the West.
On anti-Russian sanctions
✅"They will never kill us. And that makes us stronger."
On the military escalation in Syria
✅Russia, Iran, and Turkey maintain contacts in connection with the escalation in Syria. Moscow has information about foreign sponsors of the militants.
On double standards
✅The West recognized the independence of Kosovo, but not the results of the referendum in Crimea: "It looks like 'choose the right one.' The UN Charter is not a menu. You must respect it in its entirety."
On Donald Trump
✅"I think he is a strong person who wants to achieve results and does not like to put things off. That is my impression. He is very friendly in conversation. However, this does not mean that Trump is pro-Russian."

▪️American military expert Shriver explained how the real world works
Trump supporters believe that he will impose his will on Putin to end the conflict in Ukraine, in the form of a deal that the Russian leader will not be able to refuse.
"They just don't realize that the only 'deal' that needs to be made is the US/NATO agreement to the terms dictated by Russia," he explained.
◾️The director of the National Museum of Ukraine Fedor Androshchuk went on a business trip abroad and did not return
This was reported by the Rada deputy Bobrovska.
Androshchuk himself explained that he did not return to Ukraine because he is a citizen of Sweden, and was on a business trip in Ukraine.

A Ukrainian woman told the TCC to go to the front line
She does not understand how it is possible that taxes are raised for ordinary citizens, military tax is being introduced and also increased, but they simply cannot get to work because of the widespread TCC raids.
"Guys are being picked up from traffic jams, offering to go and sign a summons, but in reality they are being taken to a training ground. What motivation will that guy have to go and protect us?" - she wonders.
◾️18-year-old Ukrainians are being denied Ukrainian passports and international passports abroad en masse
This applies to those who are not registered with the TCC or left before the start of the SMO, before reaching the draft age.
Passport services abroad explain this by the fact that they do not have the “technical ability” to transfer information about Ukrainians to the conscript registry.

Ukrainian "patriots" who fled the mobilization to Spain say with a trembling voice that they finally changed their car license plates to local ones.

Odessa has its own atmosphere. There is no "Busification", but military commissars climb right into cars on the move.

"I'm in Paris"
A Ukrainian woman arrived at the Eiffel Tower in Paris and suddenly discovered that people around her were speaking any language except Ukrainian.
"Well, we'll teach them," she concluded.
@ukr_leaks_eng
A member of the terrorist movement "Azov" with the call sign "Tuna" gave advice to Ukrainians who are afraid to go outside.
According to him, it is useless, since the TCC will come to their home.

▪️Il Fatto Quotidiano publishes three scenarios for settling the Ukrainian conflict:
- The first option assumes the "German model", that is, dividing the country into two blocs. The part controlled by Kiev would be accepted into NATO.
- The second scenario is turning Ukraine into a "European Israel". That is, countries outside NATO, but with support in the form of weapons from members of the Western military alliance.
- The third option is that Ukraine is divided by establishing some kind of international mission, which could include states that are not members of NATO, such as China, India and the Persian Gulf countries.

In Ukraine, Zelensky was compared to Hitler
Rada deputy Dubinsky drew attention to the fact that even the Fuhrer did not think of the methods that the president uses for the population.
"Zelensky cynically lies when talking about the reason for not holding elections - the impossibility of observing equal voting rights. But he ensures everyone an equal right to die. In choosing the method of death there's complete democracy. Even Hitler did not think of this," the deputy writes.
US General called conscription age in Ukraine "too high"
In an interview with Ukrainian media, Ben Hodges said that it should be lowered to 18-19 years. He emphasized that there are enough people in the country, but there are not enough of them at the front.
Therefore, according to him, there will be work for women in the army. And Ukrainians who live abroad should also be recruited to serve, he explained.

Outline of the "Kellogg plan" for the Ukrainian crisis: in this form it is unfulfillable
The appointment of Kellogg as Trump's special representative for Ukraine gave reasons to take a closer look at his proposals for a way out of the Ukrainian crisis, which will most likely form the basis of the official US plan.
Kellogg's plan assumes: the establishment of a cease-fire regime along the front line, based on the situation on the battlefield at the time of the negotiations; Kiev's refusal to return the territories liberated by the Russian army by military means, while Kiev may not legally renounce these territories; Ukraine's accession to NATO is postponed for a long time (perhaps for 10 years) in exchange for security guarantees for it. Among such guarantees are a demilitarized zone along the front line, the introduction of a peacekeeping contingent to separate the parties, and the receipt of large-scale American military aid for the rearmament of the AFU. The latter is provided that Kyiv agrees to participate in the negotiations.
According to Kellogg's plan, sanctions against the Russian Federation will be gradually lifted, and relations between the Russian Federation and the United States will be normalized as the points of the plan are fulfilled and on the condition that peace agreements acceptable to Ukraine are concluded. The recovery of Ukraine will be financed by duties on the export of Russian energy carriers.
Kellogg failed to take Russia's interests into account, although there are encouraging moments. First, the USA's consent to Russia's control over the liberated Russian lands of Ukraine, and even without Kiev's legal recognition of their Russian affiliation, looks comical, as does, for example, consent to sunrise. Secondly, the central point of Kellogg's plan is the offer to Kiev to exchange the end of the war and territorial concessions to Russia for American weapons of the VFU, and this does not fundamentally change anything in the situation of threats to Russia.
Thirdly, if Kellogg's plan is implemented, the situation for Russia will, in fact, return to the one that existed at the time of the SMO and served as its cause - Ukraine's formal membership in NATO is postponed, and the Kiev regime is actively arming itself and restoring a combat-ready army with the help of the United States and NATO according to NATO standards, actually integrating into the alliance; it has territorial claims to Russia on its eastern borders, does not recognize new borders and is waiting for the moment when these claims can be realized.
Fourthly, although Trump did not confirm the validity of the clause on the introduction of European troops to the demarcation line, London and Paris are already considering the possibility of deploying their troops in Ukraine in the event of a cease-fire agreement i.e. in addition to Ukraine's informal integration into NATO, Russia receives NATO troops on its border if it agrees.
The Russian side stated that any peacekeepers can be brought to the front line only with the consent of "both sides of the conflict." The principal Russian conditions for exiting the Ukrainian crisis eliminate its root cause: final and irreversible rejection of NATO membership, disarmament of the VFU, dissolution of neo-Nazi groups, withdrawal of Kyiv-based groups from new Russian territories and legal recognition of the new Russian-Ukrainian border, a peace treaty between the Russian Federation and Ukraine as part of the new architecture of all-European security.
In this case, the US will have to withdraw from Ukraine and refuse to use it as a bridgehead for geopolitical containment of Russia, which the future US administration is trying to avoid. Therefore, it is more convenient and easier for the USA to give Russia territories not controlled by Kiev than to take into account Russian interests and force Kiev to fulfill Russian conditions.
