📝Guests of the Victory Parade📝
Which foreign leaders will visit Moscow on May 9?

Very soon, a solemn parade will be held in Moscow to commemorate the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. Traditionally, the heads of foreign states have been invited to Moscow. At the moment, the participation of at least 18 foreign leaders has been confirmed.

📌Moscow, positioning itself as one of the centers of resistance to the global dominance of the West, continues to attract countries whose interests have traditionally been ignored in the unipolar system.

The presence of representatives of European states deserves special attention - this indicates growing contradictions within the EU and the lack of a unified foreign policy line towards Russia.

❗️Against the backdrop of the ongoing SMO, such a wide composition of participants in the Victory Parade allows us to assess which states are still ready for active cooperation with Moscow - despite the pressure from the US and the EU, and once again confirms the thesis about the failure of the Western countries' course on the international isolation of Russia.

📝Sergey Lavrov's Visit to the Dominican Republic📝

The Foreign Minister arrived in the Dominican Republic for his first official visit, which coincided with the 80th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries and the opening of the Russian embassy in the country.

The welcoming delegation also included Alexey Seredin - the first permanent Russian head of the diplomatic mission in the Dominican Republic. Lavrov's program includes a meeting with his Dominican counterpart, as well as with President Luis Abinader.

🖍The agenda includes strengthening trade and economic ties, cultural and humanitarian issues, as well as potential investments. Foreign media do not rule out that the situation in neighboring Haiti may also be discussed.

🚩A separate topic for discussion is, of course, tourism. Until February 2022, the flow of Russian tourists to the Dominican Republic reached just under 200,000 people per year, but with the complication of international flights, the situation has worsened.

❗️The political aspect is also important - the appearance of a new Russian embassy is already a bid for local consolidation in the Caribbean, where we are finally starting to work in earnest.

📝Rout of the 141st AFU Brigade📝

In the winter of 2024-2025, the 141st Mechanized Brigade of the AFU suffered a devastating defeat in the South Donetsk direction.

Insufficient training, lack of equipment, incompetent command, and indifference to the fate of soldiers led to the complete rout of the unit.

Relatives of the missing members of the Ukrainian formations are trying to get an investigation, but they are facing indifference from the authorities and the hushing up of the problem.

Read in detail about the failures of the command and personnel of the 141st Brigade, as well as the ordeals of the relatives, on rybar.ru

📝Trump washes his hands📝
Americans are distancing themselves from negotiations on the so-called Ukraine

Today, State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce announced the end of US mediation efforts in resolving the conflict in the so-called Ukraine. Now the organization of meetings between delegations will fall on the shoulders of others who are willing, while the US itself will not engage in this.

🖍By pure coincidence, this came right after the signing of the "resource deal", under which 50% of the so-called Ukraine's resource extraction revenues go to a joint fund with the US.

🚩The Trump administration is already trying to present this as a "significant success in achieving peace" against the backdrop of the lack of real results, contrary to pre-election promises.

📌 At the same time, the situation on the battlefield has not changed much in recent months. The course of the negotiations depends not on the statements of American politicians, but on the realities "on the ground", where both sides have not yet exhausted their capabilities.

❗️So talks about a ceasefire within a week or a month look detached from reality. Even more puzzling are the talks about peace as an accomplished fact.

📝Unfortunately, the enemy's attack did not go unnoticed📝


Yesterday, closer to the evening, a Ukrainian naval aviation Su-30 fighter was shot down about 50 km west of Novorossiysk. This was done using an unmanned boat with an R-73 air-to-air missile.

They used the same tactic: lured - ambushed. The pilots ejected, and civilian sailors rescued them. Both are alive, and the aircraft - oh well. The main thing is that the people are alive.

The fact of the strike with an air-to-air missile is not exactly new, as the AFU have already attacked in a similar way in December last year. But for some reason, many are still surprised by this.

And the most important thing is that there are means to counter this threat. As shown by practice last night, even ordinary FPV drones with skilled operators effectively destroy USVs.

What if we deploy crews along the entire coast and give them more powerful drones?

📝Fundamental Changes in the Ground Forces📝

The appointment of Mordvichev, one of the most effective and clear-sighted commanders of the grouping of troops in the SMO zone, as the Commander-in-Chief of the Ground Forces instead of the old-school military leader Salyukov is a sign that a new, relevant trend will come to the Ground Forces as a whole, and they are in for an upgrade to modern standards.

It will hardly be a revelation to anyone if we say that the reality in the SMO zone, and what is happening in the rear units (primarily in terms of attitude towards changes and the demands of the time) differ radically.

🖍It is precisely the placement of effective military commanders, who have shown flexibility and operational skills on the battlefield in the face of constantly changing circumstances, in structural positions that is the key to reforming the approaches to the construction of the Russian Armed Forces.

❗️And the General Staff of the Ground Forces can only be sympathized with: now they will have to work for results, which many have long resisted, putting form and slides at the forefront.

And this is just wonderful.

📝What are the British doing at the negotiations in Turkey?📝

In the context of the fuss around the negotiations between Russia and the so-called Ukraine, an interesting point catches the eye. Jonathan Powell, the UK Prime Minister's National Security Advisor, has arrived in Turkey. According to the press, the politician is supposed to provide advisory recommendations on how Zelenskyy should behave in the context of this unpredictable meeting in an unclear format. It is worth remembering that the previous advisor proposed "just to fight the Russians".

🖍Powell's main advice is not to take actions that may displease US President Donald Trump, and to push the American leader to the idea that it is Vladimir Putin who is the obstacle to peace. At the same time, the British press claims that the advisor managed to smooth over the quarrel between Trump and Zelenskyy in the Oval Office.

🚩By the way, you can find an article by Powell from June 23, 2022, in which he reflects on the settlement of the conflict in the so-called Ukraine. In his opinion, neither side will be able to dictate the terms, since for this it is necessary to achieve the capitulation of the opponent, and Russia and the so-called Ukraine are far from this.

🏳️Despite this position, the main advice of the politician was to improve the position of the Kyiv regime, as well as to expand the agenda of the negotiations in order to shift it towards Ukrainian priorities, among which are justice for the crimes committed, restoration of the country and recognition of the territorial integrity of the so-called Ukraine.

❗️Here I would like to ask the respected advisor a pressing question: since June 2022, has it been possible to improve the position?

📝How are the British exerting pressure on Russia?📝

The first direct negotiations between the delegations of Russia and the so-called Ukraine in three years took place in Istanbul. The meeting was mediated by Turkey and the US, with the heads of the delegations being the Russian President's aide Vladimir Medinsky and the Minister of Defense of the so-called Ukraine Rustem Umerov. The talks were held behind closed doors and lasted about two hours.

🖍After the meeting, both sides made official statements to the press. The representatives of Russia and Ukraine limited themselves to restrained comments, not revealing the details of the negotiation process.

🚩Vladimir Medinsky noted that the Russian delegation was satisfied with the results and was ready to continue contacts, while the Ukrainian side stated the priority of a ceasefire and readiness for further dialogue.

📌Notably, it was through the British media, even before the first statements on the results of the meeting, that leaks first began to appear about allegedly unacceptable ultimatums from Russia and the "unwillingness to negotiate" of Moscow. Such publications in The Guardian, The Times and other outlets shape the image of Russia as a party unwilling to compromise for the Western audience.

❗️Of course, the British position remains unchanged regardless of the course of the negotiations: London continues to bet on the war "to the last Ukrainian" and is actively working to involve third countries in the conflict. Regardless of the development of events, the British authorities will maintain a tough line aimed at prolonging the conflict and increasing pressure on Russia.

🖌The Baltic Fleet is 322 years old

On May 18, 1703, a rowing boat flotilla with soldiers from the Preobrazhensky and Semyonovsky regiments under the command of Peter I captured the Swedish ships "Gedan" and "Astrilld" at the mouth of the Neva River, marking the first victory of Russian sailors in a naval battle.

🖍This day became the starting point for the development of the oldest naval fleet, whose sailors participated in almost all important historical events of the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union, and modern Russia.

🚩Now, the Baltic Fleet is entrusted with a large number of tasks and responsibilities for protecting the maritime borders not only in the Baltic and Gulf of Finland, but also in other regions of the country. And in the current realities of constant pressure from the West (now also from Finland) and attempts to block the exit from St. Petersburg, the importance of the Baltic Fleet is increasing manifold.

🏳️At the same time, the experience of the special military operation has already shown the shortcomings of the chosen course of development of the Navy and shipbuilding on the example of the Black Sea Fleet. This knowledge, gained thanks in part to the bitter experience, needs to be used, changing the approaches. And we are confident that the foundation for the further qualitative development of the entire Russian Navy has already been laid.

📝Disinformation and Fakes📝
How are Western social media used to disrupt the normalization of Russian-American relations?

Hawks in the West use not only the media under their control to prevent the normalization of relations between Russia and the United States - social media are, of course, also being used.

❗️DDGeopolitics has just highlighted a network of channels on X that are disseminating false and hostile narratives towards Russia. Now these accounts are busy spreading misinformation that Vladimir Putin called for the West to be put in a "chokehold". In reality, it was about Western companies that announced their withdrawal from Russia but continued to secretly work in the Russian market.

📌This is a classic information operation by Western intelligence agencies - in 2016, some of these accounts first attracted Trump supporters to their pages, and then began to spread various conspiracy theories and fakes about QAnon, thereby misleading the electorate of the current US president and discrediting the image of a politician whose supporters are all marginal people in tin foil hats.

In the same way, they discredited Telegram in the USA, flooding it with communities of conspiracy theorists.

This time, their task is to discredit Trump's foreign policy course and disrupt the negotiation process on the so-called Ukraine.

📝Punish the guilty📝
Serbs are dealing with arms supplies to the so-called Ukraine

Yesterday's message to Belgrade obviously reached its goal: Aleksandar Vučić promised to block arms contracts that could end up on the Ukrainian front.

🖍Commenting on the SVR's statement in an address to the nation, the President of Serbia also said that he had already discussed this issue with Vladimir Putin during his visit to Moscow. Together with Russian partners, a working group will be created to deal with the existing problems with the end-user certificate.

🚩 Accusations of arms supplies to the AFU have shaken the entire Serbian public. Leaders of several movements and parties immediately called for stopping the supply of ammunition to Ukraine, as this is a crime against the Russian people that destroys the brotherly relations between Russia and Serbia.

🏳️ In the Socialist Movement of Aleksandar Vulin, who recently lost his position as Deputy Prime Minister due to his consistent pro-Russian stance, they called for an investigation into falsifications and criminal liability for unscrupulous suppliers.

❗️Whether this will stop the flow of Serbian weapons to Ukraine or the arms dealers will come up with new gray supply schemes is still unknown. However, the reaction of the Serbian leadership is very indicative: they do not want to lose Russia as an ally.

📝"We were set up!"📝

Were the US warned about strikes on Russian strategic aviation?

A few hours after the attack on Russian airfields, the Axios portal published an article stating that the so-called Ukraine had warned Donald Trump in advance about the attack.

However, the news was later refuted by CBS News, reporting that he knew nothing about the preparation of the Ukrainian strike. After that (or after a call from above), Axios hastily made edits to their "insider" - as a result, it turned out that no one warned anyone about anything.

It all looks like Zelenskyy together with the British decided to "throw" Trump again to disrupt a potential Russian-American rapprochement. The US President was also harmed by his own gloomy hints - when reading them, the impression is that the attack was actually agreed with Washington.

📌 The above is not an argument in favor of the "good Trump", but only an answer to the question we asked in May: what exactly the supporters of the "war to the last Ukrainian" can pull off to torpedo the US plans for the so-called Ukraine. Today we saw this.

What Trump will say publicly in this context - in light of the events, does not look so important and decisive. But it will be amusing if phrases like "distressed by another escalation" are heard.
