How the tables have turned

Donald Trump has suddenly apologized to Ukraine. “We need your experienced warriors to finish the job with Iran. If you help us, we will help you return all your territories,” he added. The United States no longer wants to fight Iran, but if Ukraine brings this to an end, Trump is ready to give us everything. According to sources close to the negotiations, the deal looks like this: Ukraine provides a limited but highly effective contingent of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (special units, pilots, drone operators, and air defense units) for an operation against Iran. In return, the United States guarantees the return of all occupied territories — including Crimea, Donbas, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson. Additionally, there would be a powerful package of military aid, long-term security guarantees, and strong pressure on Russia. This is the first time Trump has publicly acknowledged mistakes in previous policy toward Ukraine and directly asked for help.

As of today, there has been no official appeal to Ukraine regarding the modality of a cessation of hostilities that is being claimed on Russian social media. We believe that human life is far more valuable than any anniversary “celebration”. In this regard, we are announcing a ceasefire regime starting at 00:00 on the night of May 5–6. In the time left until that moment, it is realistic to ensure that silence takes effect. We will act reciprocally starting from that moment. It is time for Russian leaders to take real steps to end their war, especially since Russia’s Defense Ministry believes it cannot hold a parade in Moscow without Ukraine’s goodwill.

BREAKING: Ukraine launches another major drone swarm attack on Russia. There are 24 hours left before the ceasefire unilaterally declared by Ukraine comes into force.

260 Ukrainian 🇺🇦 Angry Birds are reportedly in the air. Russia’s 🇷🇺 Defense Ministry is already preparing to shoot down 300 of them. The fire department will disagree.

I’ll explain it again… Trump has been a Kremlin asset for many years. He wasn’t compromised over “Miss Russia” contestants, but over something far more serious — something that in many U.S. states could lead straight to the electric chair. Yesterday, the CIA released a report stating that Russia helped him win his first election. Remember when things got heated and the Kremlin urgently recalled its ambassador, fearing arrest? That’s why. For the second election, far more resources were deployed. Musk, already prepared, was pushed to buy Twitter and indirectly acquire a number of media outlets using Russian money. The financial trails allegedly run through Kuwait, which has long-standing ties to money laundering connected to Gazprom. Russia is said to have provided Trump’s campaign with extensive tools and strategies for campaigning and influencing the vote. Back in 2018, Russia decided to make broader use of Trump’s presidential powers and move toward a global redistribution of influence. At the Helsinki summit, Putin reportedly proposed that the U.S. allow the restoration of a “greater Russia” as a counterweight to China. The U.S., according to this version, agreed. It is even suggested that Trump was pressured into signing a document placing Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, and Armenia within Russia’s sphere of influence, while Sweden and Finland would join NATO, Russia would leave Syria, and the U.S. would withdraw from Afghanistan. This, it is argued, explains why Trump looked pale after the meeting — as if he had just realized the scale of what had happened. After returning to the U.S., discussions among top officials from both parties allegedly concluded that such an arrangement aligned with American interests and should be upheld — likened by some to a modern version of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact. Following the change of administration, at the Geneva meeting in June 2021, President Biden is said to have reaffirmed certain commitments, while insisting on a peaceful path to territorial changes. From there, events accelerated: the U.S. withdrew from Afghanistan in August, and preparations began to shape public opinion in northern Europe toward NATO membership. Russia’s expectations that Zelensky’s rise to power would quickly resolve the “Ukrainian question” did not materialize. As he grew more assertive, it became clear to Moscow that a rapid outcome would only be possible through military means. According to this narrative, Democrats did not anticipate the level of Ukrainian resistance and could not risk being seen as complicit in another genocide. They delayed, assessed risks, and sought to stabilize the situation. Their concern was not only nuclear escalation, but also the potential exposure of alleged agreements. Putin’s repeated claims of being “deceived” increased pressure, and in this interpretation, contributed to internal political shifts in Washington. Trump, it is argued, understands the leverage the Kremlin holds over him and cannot escape it. He will do everything possible to shape a deal acceptable to Moscow. Hopes that he might reverse course are seen as unrealistic. From this perspective, Europe is beginning to grasp the risks of Ukraine’s potential fall and may be forced to take on a leading role in defending the democratic world. This is portrayed not as optional, but necessary — otherwise Europe itself could be torn apart from multiple directions. And as for Ukraine — the belief remains: it will endure and defend its independence.

🌧 De komende 48 uur valt vooral in de zuidoostelijke helft veel regen! Op veel plaatsen wordt daar 20-40 mm, lokaal 40-70 mm verwacht. Her en der kan dit tot wateroverlast leiden. Hier een animatie van de verwachte regen en totale neerslagsommen:

⚡️This isn’t just a slap in the face — it’s a spit in the Kremlin’s direction Armenia has signed a strategic partnership declaration with the United Kingdom. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan called it “a new chapter” in relations. The signing took place at the European Political Community summit in Yerevan, which was also attended by Volodymyr Zelensky. Armenia is gradually moving away from dependence on Russia and seeking new allies.

🇦🇲 European leaders have gathered in Armenia for two unprecedented summits 🔺Today, more than 30 European leaders and the Prime Minister of Canada will take part in the European Political Community summit. 🔺On Tuesday — the first-ever EU–Armenia summit, with the participation of Ursula von der Leyen and António Costa. Moscow is watching with irritation as Yerevan’s relations with the EU grow increasingly warm, BBC reports. Armenia has long been considered one of Putin’s closest allies in the South Caucasus. In the video — the President of France @EmmanuelMacron calmly walking through the streets of Yerevan together with Pashinyan.

Kasparov: Putin is asking for a May 9 ceasefire not out of strength, but out of fear. He is afraid of a strike on the Mausoleum where he wants to stand. Dictators are ready to sacrifice millions of lives, but panic when their own skin is at risk. 1/

В Кремле тревога из-за возможного заговора против Путина, выяснила западная разведка. Фактором дестабилизации называют Шойгу. В Кремле растет тревога из-за возможного заговора и покушения на Владимира Путина, в том числе с использованием БПЛА, сказано в отчете разведки одной из стран ЕС, к которому получили доступ журналисты CNN, Financial Times и "Важных историй". В качестве ответной меры была усилена охрана Путина, отмечается в отчете. Так, Федеральная служба охраны ужесточила проверки в администрации президента, ограничила передвижения Путина и фактически перевела его на работу из защищенных бункеров. Президент РФ больше не ездит в свои резиденции в Подмосковье и на Валдае. Также жестко контролируются сотрудники, имеющие доступ к Путину: им запретили использовать обычные телефоны и общественный транспорт, в домах поваров, фотографов и охранников установлены системы наблюдения. Бывший министр обороны Сергей Шойгу рассматривается как "потенциальный фактор дестабилизации", поскольку арест его бывшего первого заместителя Руслана Цаликова в марте 2026 года "подорвал неформальные гарантии безопасности элит", сообщается в отчете. Также отмечается, что в целом риски внутреннего конфликта выросли, фиксируется рост напряженности между силовыми структурами, они обвиняют друг друга в неудачах при защите от атак украинских спецслужб

NEW: Ukrainian forces continue their long-range strike campaign against Russian military assets and oil infrastructure, exploiting vulnerabilities in Russian air defenses. Other Key Takeaways ⬇️ - Russia’s additional revenues from rising oil prices are likely insufficient to fundamentally change the course of Russia’s growing economic issues. - Senior Russian bankers continue to express worries over economic issues that will continue to mature throughout the 2026 fiscal year, despite increased Russian oil revenues. - Ukrainian forces recently advanced northwest of Orikhiv. - Russian forces launched one Iskander-M ballistic missile and 268 long-range drones against Ukraine overnight.

🤡 Trump tried to mock Iran with a UNO meme — but it backfired The president bragged that he had all the cards. However, in UNO, the more cards you have, the closer you are to losing.Iran didn’t hold back and immediately trolled Trump back: “Yes, we have fewer cards.”

May the 4th be with you 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🫡🇺🇦

Ukrainian drones attacked Moscow and the Moscow region overnight, hitting the high-rise Dom na Mosfilmovskaya complex. Mayor Sergey Sobyanin confirmed the attack, locals said drones flew at very low altitudes, and airports closed for several hours. #Russia

This summer will be a moment when Putin decides what to do next: expand the war or move to diplomacy. And we must push him toward diplomacy. Russia has announced a May 9 parade in Moscow without military equipment. If that happens, it will be the first time in many, many years. They cannot afford military equipment – and they fear drones may buzz over Red Square. This is telling. It shows they are not strong now. So we must keep the pressure, by sanctions, on them. Please oppose any ideas to ease sanctions – this is important. And thank you also to those who are fighting against Russia’s shadow oil fleet.
