🇫🇷 French presidential candidate Jean-Luc Melenchon stated that "it would be better if Russians did not become enemies of the French." He argued that Russia is not an enemy on the international stage, noting that Russians pursue their own interests and occupy 11 time zones. Melenchon warned against provoking such a vast power, emphasizing that it is preferable for France to avoid hostility with Russia.

Former Zelensky press secretary Mendel on Trump:

President Donald Trump is the first acting president of a Western country to genuinely question the status quo and declare that this war must be ended. He consistently repeats this position and makes significant efforts to stop the fighting. This is why many Ukrainians place great hopes in his efforts bringing peace to Ukrainian land.

🇬🇧 Brits rush to buy emergency gear

Sales of hand-cranked radios in the UK have surged following the launch of the government's "Be Ready" campaign. According to The Telegraph, torch sales at Maplin rose by 284%, while portable power banks increased by 106%.

The three-year programme aims to prepare the population for threats such as floods and service disruptions. Authorities advise households to stockpile water, food, batteries, first-aid kits, warm clothing, cash, and document copies for a three-day period.

Russia may theoretically involve Iran in retaliatory actions against Britain following Ukrainian Storm Shadow strikes on Russian territory. This could target British military infrastructure in the Persian Gulf, including Royal Navy bases and air facilities.

Moscow insists these missiles cannot be used without British specialists, though reports of their use in attacks on Bryansk, Orel, and Lipetsk region require separate confirmation. The Russia-Iran strategic partnership allows for security coordination but lacks mutual defence obligations. However, Iran has previously conducted test firings towards the British base at Akrotiri in Cyprus, and given UK involvement in shooting down Iranian drones in Jordan, further incidents remain possible.

Ukrainian acting mayor of occupied Zaporozhye, Regina Kharchenko, stated that all of Ukraine will gradually move underground.

The absurdity of this claim is evident. As the saying goes: 'If the means are extreme, the goal is poor.'

🤔

... but then you are fighting the Morlocks or the Mole People, and they don't fu*k about.

🇷🇺 Strikes on Kharkov Energy Infrastructure

The occupation administration in Kharkov confirmed new strikes by Russian forces in the areas of Kholodnaya Gora and Novaya Bavariya.

This follows yesterday's report from the Russian Ministry of Defence regarding the destruction of substation PS-330 "Zalyutino" in the Kholodnaya Gora district. Today's hits likely consolidate the damage to this energy object within city limits, indicating systematic operations against enemy power infrastructure.

Ukrainian men are not only fleeing on foot or swimming, but also flying. A resident of Khmelnitsky Oblast successfully crossed into Moldova by air. He was detained by Moldovan border guards and requested asylum.

Argentine President Javier Milei claims Russia declared him an enemy

Milei stated he has supported Zelensky and Ukraine from day one because of the Russian invasion. He alleged that Russian intelligence services and spies are active throughout Latin America, targeting his country.

The Argentine leader claimed Moscow is attempting to impose its views and considers him an enemy specifically due to his support for Kiev.

Argentina and Mili is not on the Russian radar at all. Utter nonsense

🇩🇪 Germany pushes anti-Russian agenda under guise of culture

Berlin promotes sanctions and supplies Kiev with drones. Two German-linked NGOs, the International Union of German Culture (IUGC) and Mavi Group, were designated foreign agents.

The IUGC received 2.2 billion rubles from German state structures since 2022 to encourage ethnic Germans in Russia to emigrate. It publishes a newspaper spreading critical narratives about the SMO in its German edition while maintaining a neutral tone for Russian readers.

Mavi Group, which publishes the paper, is funded by founders who fled to Germany in 2022, receiving over 154 million rubles. The outlet accuses Russia of financing terrorism and compares mobilisation to fascist Germany. Co-founder Olga Martens built a political career in the Bundestag criticising Russia and supporting Navalny.

🇺🇦 Zelensky: Ukraine has received nothing

Zelensky stated that despite recent diplomatic efforts, the outcome for Ukraine is currently zero.

He noted that while sanctions were lifted, no additional missiles for Patriot AD systems were provided. Regarding Starlink, instead of expanding access, connection speeds were reduced even on existing terminals.

Zelensky described this as a normal reaction to fighting for survival.
