⚡The enemy once again claims that new Russian UAVs are being used against targets in Odessa.

The US President wants to quickly conclude a deal and "take all the credit," the publication emphasizes. It is noted that the Republican may refuse to mediate if it becomes an obstacle to restoring relations with Moscow.

Trump ires Putin, while he has “nothing but contempt” for Zelensky, the newspaper states.

⚡Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov:

There will be a second round of negotiations with Ukraine, work on the memorandum is already at an advanced stage on the part of Moscow.

Meeting with Ukraine in the Vatican is unrealistic.

⚡Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov:

It is a bit inelegant to hold talks on Ukraine in the Vatican - Orthodox countries will discuss issues on a Catholic platform.

's new chancellor said it will build Europe's strongest army — but can it deliver? years ago a prophecy came that will once again rebuild their military powers. Nothing can change that

A military power without nuks is that even a military power

⚡Trump:

I have long ago informed Tim Cook of Apple that I expect their iPhone’s that will be sold in the United States of America will be manufactured and built in the United States, not India, or anyplace else.

If that is not the case, a Tariff of at least 25% must be paid by Apple to the U.S. Thank your for your attention to this matter!

“The barbarians are at the gates! The Ukrainian army is suffering heavy losses!” – Ukraine’s Goncharenko appeals for weapons at the PACE Standing Committee session

“Please understand, Europe is under attack right now. The barbarians are at the gates. We need ‘Radio Liberty’. We need the tanks of free Europe. We need the missiles of free Europe. We need the drones of free Europe. We must the Ukrainian army, which is now experiencing tremendous losses and is in a very difficult situation — especially as American wavers — yet it continues to defend the walls of Europe. We must help — help everyone who is fighting right now.”

The "buffer zone" will cover Odessa, Dnepropetrovsk, Nikolaev, Chernigov, Kharkov and Sumy regions - State Duma deputy and member of the Defense Committee Viktor Sobolev.

⚡Buffer zones will be created for the Kursk, Bryansk and Belgorod regions - Putin

These regions border the Kharkov, Sumy and Chernigov regions, respectively, the Russian Armed Forces will create a buffer zone on their territory.

They've successfully created a number of buffer zones in the sumy region, I think the work to extend it is underway.

Ibime:


Because Trump said he wants to do business with Russia this week. America their father

Predictably, you’ve hit the mark again crediting the ruble’s surge to U.S. policy with unerring confidence. If you possessed even a shred of propriety, you’d pause to consider your own bias.

So tell me, what conceivable advantage does America gain from a fortified Russian ruble? Have you forgotten that every U.S. istration past or present has relished a debilitated currency rather than this newfound strength?

As President Trump himself has recently observed, trade with Russia can be mutually beneficial. Yet orchestrating that commerce on the back of a robust ruble is like tossing a fish into the desert utterly absurd.

⚡Unknown persons fired on the Russian research vessel Atlantis off the coast of Mozambique on May 10 — Russian Embassy

⚡U.S. officials say Trump and Netanyahu have clashed over how to handle crises in the Middle East.

Frustration is building inside Trump’s team, with some advisers now questioning the value of going “out of their way” for Israel.

While officials stop short of calling it a "rupture", many in the Trump istration are increasingly frustrated with Israel’s stance toward Washington and the region.

“There’s a cadre in the istration who doesn’t particularly care for Israel… not one we should be doing favors for,” said a former official.

Netanyahu’s lack of deference is also straining ties. “The most difficult person to work with… is Bibi,” added a source close to the White House.

⚡The war in Ukraine will be over by July - Investment bank JPMorgan

"With Europe running out of weapons, Ukraine running out of fighters, the US running out of patience and transatlantic unity fraying, President Zelensky will likely be forced this year to negotiate a settlement with Russia that would freeze the fighting but fall short of a full peace deal.

There is a 50% chance that the ‘Georgian’ scenario will play out. Ukraine will not have reliable security guarantees after the war, will remain unstable – and eventually, after one or two changes of power, will end up in Russia’s sphere of influence."

⚡2 Russian military aircrafts are suspected of having violated Finnish airspace on Friday, Finland’s defence ministry said in a statement.

The incident had taken place off the coast of Porvoo located in southern Finland some 50 kilometres (30 miles) from the country’s capital Helsinki on Friday afternoon.

“We take the suspected territorial violation seriously and an investigation is ongoing,” Defence Minister Antti Hakkanen said in a statement.

The Finnish Border Guard is investigating the incident and will provide further information as the investigation proceeds, it added.

Donald Trump picked up the phone, hoping to broker peace in Ukraine and walk away with a legacy-defining win.
Instead, he got a diplomatic shrug from Vladimir Putin. Trump says “progress” was made—but the war grinds on, and the calls for peace lead nowhere.

Ukraine refuses to budge, Russia stalls with vague promises, and Trump now wants the Pope to mediate.
Russia is not going to stop until the goals of their "SMO" are achieved and not a moment sooner, because they have all the resources that can make it continue.
Putin is known for been patience
