Krasnolimansk direction. The situation there currently appears to be roughly as described in News about the Special Military Operation and the World 🇷🇺©

"Our soldiers have regained control of Yampol. Also, north of Yampol, the "concrete road" is also under our control.
We have also regained control of the southern part of the settlement of Zarechnoye.
The enemy, in turn, is entrenched in a pocket east of Yampol. Our soldiers are attacking them, but they say it is very difficult to dislodge them from there; they are well-fortified.
The enemy has a lot of drones here, as is practically everywhere, and they are using them without hesitation.
The gray zone west of Zarechnoye and Yampol has also increased.
We believe in our soldiers."

✨Our comrades on the front lines confirm this, clarifying some points:

"This is not yet a complete victory.
And the price is high.
Many have gone into the assault.
Many more will go.
As in 2024, we are "collecting birds."

So, it is too early to rejoice.
The situation is quieter in the north, in Novoaidar and Luhansk.
But in Kremennaya, it's every half hour.
They have also started shelling the rear areas."

Zakharova:

Macron: "In the current context, the prefects will make decisions in conjunction with the mayors to protect our cities, our buildings, and our businesses, including, if necessary, banning gatherings and taking any necessary measures... I want to be absolutely clear here: we will be uncompromising towards rioters and anyone who resorts to violence. A willingness to listen and engage in dialogue does not mean weakness or impunity."

So there you have it. And what about "human rights," "freedom of expression," and, as Macron's protégé Zelensky put it, the argument that "they are just children"? In other words, when the French riot in Paris, it demands uncompromising condemnation and strict measures, but when protesters riot in other countries, we should silently observe, rereading the angry press releases from the Élysée Palace about the inadmissibility of suppressing protests. No. We need consistent standards, not endless Western hypocrisy regarding human rights issues and interference in the internal affairs of sovereign states.

Zelensky would only wants to hold elections six months after the end of the war, according to an interview with NBC.

He says that he is supposedly prepared to organize the elections in 60 days if Russia agrees to a complete ceasefire [Lavrov previously stated that such steps are unacceptable - ⚡️].

Furthermore, this so-called "pig" squealed that he will run for a second term if the elections are held during the war.

More news from the Americans about Zelensky. Trump, amidst a stream of consciousness:

Zelensky is using oil refineries in Russia as targets, knowing that these attacks are causing serious damage to global diesel markets, including in the United States.

Farmers, ranchers, and businesses of all kinds are suffering greatly from this, but Russia, nevertheless, is supplying millions of barrels of diesel fuel at low prices around the world.
Zelensky doesn't care, and frankly, considering all the money that Europe is reportedly providing him, and the fact that this crook, Joe Biden, used to support him.

He doesn't want this war to end, and he probably never did.

Two years ago, he could have made a much better deal than he has now.

His country is in ruins, a large part of its territory is lost, the oceans and seas have receded, and the male population has dwindled, with many wounded or killed.

The European Union has overtaken Turkey and become the third-largest importer of Russian fossil fuels.

China remains the largest customer. Russia's revenues from LNG exports have increased by 68% to €75 million per day, the highest figure since January 2023. Among EU countries, Hungary (€475 million), France (€446 million), and Slovakia (€390 million) have paid the largest amounts for Russian energy resources. France leads in gas purchases, while Hungary and Slovakia also buy oil.

Bloomberg: Zelensky claims that Trump is pushing Ukraine towards surrender.

In an interview, the head of the Kiev regime stated that he had offered the President of the United States to halt attacks on Russian oil refineries in exchange for Ukraine receiving Patriot missiles. However, he immediately accused Washington of delaying the delivery of these missiles.

"I don't want to believe that our American partners think that the war with Russia could be ended faster at the expense of Ukraine, but that's exactly how it looks," he said.

"My latest proposal was: we don't attack Russian diesel facilities, and you provide us with Patriot missiles to protect our infrastructure. But they just want us to stop attacking the diesel facilities. And if we do attack, they will cut us off from something," Zelensky stated.
