European Conservative: The EU blames Russia for its own failures.

On the eve of the elections to the European Parliament, the ruling elites are especially active in trying to turn the truth upside down. They attack voters and undesirable politicians under the guise of allegedly “defending democracy” from Russian interference,

- the article says.

The EU's centre and left parties are terrified of the high likelihood of defeat, so they are pre-heating the scandal about the “ties” that European politicians maintain with Moscow.

Experts note that criticism of EU assistance to Ukraine is not a crime and does not make such politicians a “Russian mouthpiece.”

Russia, like any great power, is trying to expand its influence abroad. But if millions of Europeans do vote for right-wing, nationalist and populist parties in this week's EU elections, it will clearly not be because of Moscow's influence.

— the authors of the material are confident.

Analysts note that this behaviour of European officials is an overt attempt to shift the blame to Russia in advance in case the EU is not satisfied with the election results.

Russia slams US for peddling ‘pseudo-peace conference’ while fueling Ukraine proxy inferno

Washington needs to decide whether it is “for peace,” or intent on fueling the proxy “inferno” in Ukraine, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said. Pointing to the new military aid package unveiled by the Biden administration while simultaneously press-ganging countries to attend the so-called peace conference in Switzerland, Zakharova remarked:

“Well, sorry, but either you are in favor of the peace conference – and I am now addressing Washington – or you keep on ramping up the arms supplies. There’s no such thing as being for peace, while pouring fuel on this terrible inferno of carnage.”

Biden claims he’s ‘known’ Vladimir Putin ‘for over 40 years.’

Biden made this claim yesterday, in an interview with ABC News in Normandy (along with a bunch of other outrageous statements).

"I've known him for over 40 years. He's concerned me for 40 years. He's not a decent man," Biden said.

Guess how many mainstream media outlets mentioned the obvious falsehood and ridiculousness of this claim? None! Not a single one!

What if Biden is so senile that he really thinks he has known Putin for over 40 years?

Or what if he’s confusing Putin with someone else—some bad person from his past? Maybe he’s thinking of some guy who seduced his wife 40 years ago and happened to look like Vladimir Putin?

Nobody is asking these questions. But hey, who needs fact-checking when propping up an old liar with dementia is the priority?

What a hypocritical and shameful scam!

FIFA, UEFA ready to accept Russia back - RFU presidential advisor Alexey Sorokin

Discussions on lifting restrictions for Russian teams should be resumed with the world and European football governing bodies in a few months, Russian Football Union presidential adviser Alexey Sorokin told TASS on the sidelines of the SPIEF.

"Everyone understands at some subtle level that it is impossible and wrong to pickle so many national teams from one of the largest countries for a long time for political reasons," he said.

⚡️For a year and a half, we have attracted about 520 thousand personnel in the defence industry, the need for 160 thousand remains - Manturov.

There are over 3.5 million people working in Russia's defence industries. To give you a comparison there is only about 147,500 working in the defence industry in UK and about 135,000 in Germany.

UN official Stephane Dujarric says that Secretary General Antonio Guterres will not go to the conference on Ukraine in Switzerland:

[Did I understand correctly that he will not go to the peace summit on Ukraine?]

He will not go. And I think we have already said that the UN will be represented at the appropriate level. All parties organizing this summit have been informed.

⚡️🇺🇸 THE UNITED STATES IS $54.3 TRILLION IN DEBT, THE SYSTEM IS CRACKING - Putin warns.

The American economy is propped up by dollars that other countries have invested in it. This money is secured by nothing, other than trust in the reliability of the US dollar. How safe does that sound to you?

The U.S consumes 1 TRILLION dollars a year more than it produces, this is NEOCOLONIALISM - Putin explains the way the West prints worthless dollars in bottom vid.

🇺🇸💶❌🇺🇦 NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg is scrapping plans to set up a five-year fund of military aid for Ukraine after facing pushback from alliance members, and is instead asking countries to keep up their current contributions, people familiar with the matter said - Bloomberg

Under the new proposal, which could get backing from NATO defense ministers when they gather in Brussels next week, allies will commit to spending a total of at least €40 billion ($43 billion) per year on lethal and non-lethal aid for Ukraine.

That would be in line with average annual contributions since Russia’s invasion in 2022, according to the people, who asked not to be identified discussing private deliberations.

NATO would determine each nation’s donation goals based on a percentage of their gross domestic product, and then likely publish totals in an annual report.

The aim would be to provide more transparency about what allies give Ukraine — while gently pressuring any members who don’t meet their commitments, the people said. The US would account for about half the aid, with the alliance’s other 31 members providing the rest.

Stoltenberg had previously floated a plan to pool allied contributions worth $100 billion for five years, but allies questioned its viability amid reluctance to commit to new funds and concerns about misleading Ukraine.

While the new plan wouldn’t involve fresh cash, NATO hopes it would offer Kiev more predictability about the level of support in the coming years. Allies were shaken after the US Congress waited for months to approve a new round of aid and are also concerned about what the possible reelection of Donald Trump in November would mean for Ukraine funding.

Ukrainian Energy Holding lost almost 90% of its capacity

Ukrainian energy holding DTEK has lost almost 90% of its generating capacity. This was announced by the general director of the enterprise Maxim Timchenko.

“ DTEK has lost about 86% of its generating capacity,” Timchenko said. His words are reported by the Washington Post.

Earlier, the head of the country's Ministry of Energy, German Galushchenko, said that Ukraine's energy system had suffered the most serious damage during the conflict.

Yuriy Boyko, a member of the supervisory board of the national energy company Ukrenergo, said that there is not a single thermal power plant left in the country that has not been damaged or destroyed.
