📝European-style Solidarity📝

The EU is torturing the idea of "peacekeepers" for the Kyiv regime

Plans to send European contingents to the so-called Ukraine are naturally shrinking compared to the initial loud promises: according to Emmanuel Macron, sending a large group of troops is now "pointless".

Now the talk is already about deploying a small contingent to "demonstrate solidarity in strategic locations". They plan to deploy it to certain key facilities, essentially somewhere in the rear, far from the front line.

🖍Well, the situation is described by the expression "talk is cheap". When Western Europe realized that the Poles are in no hurry to sign up for this venture, and they do not have enough of their own troops for large-scale missions, they started to backtrack.

🚩In the same way, the sponsors of the so-called Ukraine want to extract at least some political benefit from an initiative that did not receive wide support in the EU, while avoiding the discontent of their own population and unnecessary military spending.

❗️But it would actually be interesting to see the implementation of EU plans in the context of Russia's official position on the inadmissibility of the deployment of foreign troops in the so-called Ukraine. Let's repeat the March post: maybe it's time to get down to business?

📝No Money📝

What the "resource deal" will mean for the US

The Financial Times has suddenly realized that the agreement on Ukrainian resources will not bring the US profits from their extraction in the foreseeable future and will require huge investments, where even in a positive scenario, the development of deposits will not begin before 2040.

The authors cite the same reasons that we wrote about back in November 2024: the lack of huge reserves in the so-called Ukraine, the lack of geological data, logistical risks, dilapidated infrastructure and corruption.

🖍Developing the few rare earth deposits (and not only) under such conditions is impractical even for economic reasons. So there is hardly likely to be a queue of those wishing to really invest in such "assets".

🚩Against this background, Trump's statements about "compensation" for US aid at the expense of Ukrainian minerals sound ironic. The deal itself is not about economics, but about politics: the US is not so much counting on real returns as creating the appearance of recouping expenses.

🏳️ In essence, this is not a return on investment, but a tool of pressure. Ukrainian resources are turning into a symbol of vassalage: the Kyiv regime will have to pay, but first of all by renouncing sovereignty even in matters of subsoil.

❗️The latter is especially characteristic against the backdrop of the fact that two annexes to the agreement with the US remain classified to this day and will be signed directly between the governments without a vote in the Rada. Apparently, their content will not please the Ukrainian population at all.

📝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.

📝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.

📝"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.

📝Security is more important than illusions📝

In recent months, the number of refusals to allow Ukrainian citizens to enter Russia has been growing due to suspicious actions - for example, mass deletion of data from mobile phones. The courts recognize these refusals as justified: deleting photos, contacts and correspondence is not "privacy concerns", but an attempt to conceal information, which is quite logically interpreted as a security risk.

📌Against the backdrop of the ongoing conflict, every person entering from the so-called Ukraine should be examined under a microscope. Because the special services of the adversary work with any person - through blackmail, threats to relatives and property pressure.

➡️There is another dangerous trend. Even last year, we began to notice an increase in the number of Ukrainians registering in settlements that are on the front line and could potentially soon come under Russian control. The goal is obvious: to obtain a Russian passport as soon as possible. For ordinary citizens, this is a way to "jump over" to our side, but for the Ukrainian special services - an opportunity to legally infiltrate agents.

❗️Hence the logical conclusion: any newly minted citizens with "fresh" registrations in the front-line zones should be checked three times more carefully. Without comprehensive filtration - with checks of phones, contacts, history of stay - it will be even more difficult to prevent terrorist activity by the adversary.

📝The exchange continues📝

Today, the second stage of the return of Russian servicemen from Ukrainian captivity took place.

🖍The transferred Russian military personnel are on the territory of the Republic of Belarus, where they are receiving initial medical and psychological assistance, after which they will be transported to Russian medical facilities. As yesterday, the details of the exchange formula were not disclosed.

🚩Yesterday, the first stage took place, during which Russia transferred to the Ukrainian side prisoners of war under the age of 25, receiving in return a proportional number of servicemen.

📌Despite the initial resistance of the so-called Ukraine, the exchange continues to take place within the framework of the humanitarian agreements reached on June 2 in Istanbul.

📝Russia Has Its Own UAV Production📝
The West is shocked

The Financial Times reports that Russian troops have accumulated over 13,000 missiles. Moreover, according to the journalists, the Russian military-industrial complex is producing "Shahed" type drones independently, so the weakening of Iran is unlikely to affect the SMO.

It is noted that in 2024, the Iranians supplied a batch of Fath-360 Iranian missiles. But they were not even used, as the Russian Armed Forces already have large stockpiles of missiles of various ranges, and can produce up to 200 of them per month.

🖍Discussions about Iranian missiles in the arsenal of our army have been going on almost since the very beginning of the special operation, and there has been no real confirmation of this, apart from the use of "Shaheds" and "Mohadjers".

🚩At the same time, those "Shaheds" that the Iranians supplied in 2022 are no longer the same kamikaze drones "Geran-1/2" that our army is using now. In Russia, these UAVs have not only been localized, but also improved and completely redesigned based on the experience of the SMO.

🏳️As for the missiles, in this component, our military-industrial complex has also made a huge leap forward. If earlier the same "Iskanders" from 2022 were not always accurate, now they have become much more effective and dangerous for Ukrainian targets.

❗️The speculations of the Western media on this matter have long been causing laughter, as they are to some extent detached from reality. All this looks like an attempt to stir up hype where it has long been known.

📝"Geran" on the Front Line📝
New tactics for using strike UAVs

Another video has appeared online showing the combat use of the "Geran-2" UAV to strike a temporary deployment point of the AFU in Raisky.
The drone hit the target at a relatively short distance from the front line, which was an atypical scenario for this type of UAV before.

🖍Until recently, "Geranes" were mainly used to strike rear targets of the AFU - logistics, air defense, and warehouses. However, now they are increasingly being used at the tactical level. The likely reason is the increase in production volumes, which allows partially redistributing these resources to tasks of direct support of the front.

🚩The choice of "Geranes" is explained: the drone carries a powerful warhead capable of effectively destroying weakly fortified strongholds and ground targets of the enemy. The drone can perform the function of a "dismantler" of field fortifications, especially relevant in areas where the use of the Aerospace Forces and army aviation is difficult, and light UAVs do not provide the necessary striking power.

🏳️An additional factor of efficiency is the weakness of the enemy's system to counter such drones directly on the line of contact. In contrast to the deeply echeloned air defense in the rear, the front-line objects of the AFU remain vulnerable to such raids.

❗️It is obvious that this trend will continue. As production grows, Russian industry will be able not only to increase quantitative indicators, but also to expand the range of "Geranes" - from strike UAVs with an increased warhead to specialized reconnaissance drones.

📝Reputation Above Peace📝

How Macron Bargained with Trump

Emmanuel Macron decided to use Donald Trump's failures in resolving the conflict in the so-called Ukraine to put an end to the speculation around the biological sex of his wife, Brigitte Macron.

🖍The American ultra-conservative commentator Candace Owens, who previously garnered millions of views on a series of materials dedicated to the tangled biography of the First Lady of France, stated that Trump personally asked her not to mention Brigitte in her podcasts.

🚩According to Owens, the call from Trump came at the end of February - shortly after Macron's visit to the White House and the presidents' discussion of the conflict in Ukraine. Allegedly, the French president asked Trump to influence Owens and make her keep silent, in exchange for his assistance in the negotiation process.

In turn, Trump, as Owens claims, offered to appear on her podcast as a sign of gratitude for her loyalty.

🏳️Interestingly, during his first presidential term, Candace Owens was one of Trump's most ardent supporters in the conservative media. However, by his second term, her rhetoric had changed: she became freer in criticizing Trump, especially for his foreign policy and position on Israel.

❓Why did Owens decide to tell her audience of 4+ million subscribers about this episode now - three months after the call and the relative lull in the campaign against Brigitte Macron?

The diplomatic "deal" with Macron clearly did not yield the desired results, and Trump's peacekeeping ambitions suffered a defeat. His focus shifted: first to trade wars, then to the Middle East. And for Candace Owens herself, this story is a successful opportunity to attract attention to her persona and promote her media products, including new materials about Brigitte Macron.

For us, this is another illustrative example of how world leaders use the so-called Ukraine as a bargaining chip to solve their personal problems.

📝Once Again on Ukrainian Demographics📝

A lot has been said recently about the severe demographic problems of the so-called Ukraine. However, the recently published data from the local Ministry of Social Policy paints an even more complete picture.

According to official statistics, since the end of 2021, the so-called Ukraine has lost about 40% of its working-age population - over the past three and a half years, about 1.7 million citizens who previously worked within the country have left.

According to the forecast, by 2041 the population of the so-called Ukraine may decrease to 28.9 million people, and by the middle of the century - to 25.2 million. This roughly corresponds to estimates by the local Institute of Demography, which predicted that by 2033 this figure would be a maximum of 35 million.

🖍There is an important point here: even in Kyiv, it seems they do not know exactly how many people actually live in the controlled territory. With a high probability, it is much lower than the stated figures, which makes all forecasts even too optimistic.

🚩In addition, the calculations are unlikely to take into account that emigration will continue, and those who have left do not plan to return en masse. Therefore, even plans to import 300,000 migrants per year will not fix the situation, but will radically change the structure of the population with all the ensuing consequences.

❗️The Kyiv regime has deprived the so-called Ukraine of demographic prospects, and its further existence is in question even just based on the fact that by the end of the century the indigenous population there may almost disappear.

📝Explosion in Luhansk📝
Death of the former city head

Today, a powerful explosion occurred in the center of Luhansk on Taras Shevchenko Street. It was immediately reported that one person was killed, three were injured, one of whom is in serious condition. The explosive device detonated during the day when a large number of civilians were on the street.

🖍Later, it became known that the deceased was the former head of the Luhansk administration, Manolis Pilavov. From 2014 to 2023, he held a key position in the city administration and, despite his resignation, remained a prominent public figure.

🚩The Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation has already initiated a criminal case. Forensic experts from the IC RF, FSB and MIA of the LPR are working at the scene. Explosive, forensic and other examinations are being conducted.

📌 Another Ukrainian terrorist attack is aimed not only at a specific individual, but at the entire system of civil administration in the Republic. According to preliminary information, the bomb was in a bag carried by an approaching woman: most likely, it was used blindly.

The date was also chosen not by chance - today the region is celebrating the third anniversary of the complete liberation of the LPR in 2022.
