🇨🇭🇦🇹🇷🇺🇺🇦"The Russians feel like they did in April 1945: they believe that victory is within their grasp." This was stated by Austrian military expert Markus Reisner in an interview with the Swiss newspaper Neue Zürcher Zeitung. He believes that the West should either significantly increase its support for Ukraine or end the war as soon as possible. According to Reisner, it is a mistake to consider Russia's slow progress as evidence that it will not be able to achieve success. "The main error in logic is to measure military success by territorial gains. This is a war of attrition. Success is not determined by the captured territories, but by the expenditure of resources. As soon as one of the sides runs out of resources, events can begin to unfold very quickly," he said, agreeing with the statement that "time is on Russia's side." "The important question is not how long Russia will hold out, but how long Ukraine will be able to hold out," the expert added. He stated that after the collapse of its quick war strategy, Russia switched to a war of attrition. "We are shaped by the Anglo-Saxon military doctrine, which arose from the experience of World War II and is based on the desire to break the enemy with quick strikes. In the wars against Iraq, the United States began with a massive first strike, followed by a rapid offensive. The same was expected from the Russian invasion of Ukraine. When Russia failed to quickly take Kyiv, they hastily declared Moscow's failure. But both Russian and earlier Soviet military doctrine provide for: in the event of an unsuccessful offensive, immediately switch to a war of attrition," Reisner said. At the same time, he believes that "the Trump administration has no leverage over Putin," making a breakthrough in negotiations unlikely. "The United States has made it clear that it wants calm in Europe so it can focus on China. In this situation, Russia is waiting to see what concessions the Americans will offer," Reisner says. He believes that Putin now "looks much more confident." "Also notable is the announcement of a record call-up of 160,000 people this spring. In other words, the Russians feel like they were on the Seelow Heights in April 1945, looking at Berlin - they believe that victory is within their grasp," says Reisner He believes that Moscow can fight for another two or three years, since China supplies important components, Iran - drones, North Korea - millions of artillery shells. And India, buying raw materials, replenishes the Russian treasury. According to Reisner, it is necessary to either urgently end the war in Ukraine, or "go all the way" in the confrontation between the West and Russia. "The fundamental problem is that the Kremlin is ready to go all the way for its goals in Ukraine, and the West is not. If Europe and America do not want to give Ukraine everything it needs to win, then the war must be ended as soon as possible. Anything else is immoral. Either we accept that we have become hostages of Russia, and we tell this to the Ukrainians directly. Or we tell Moscow: "Enough" - and we go to the end. But then the question arises: will Putin give in, or will there be an escalation, because Russia will also go to the end? No one knows the answer, because we are just one-day historical figures. We are entering uncharted territory," says the expert. At the same time, he does not foresee a large-scale attack by Russia on Europe, as European and Ukrainian politicians are talking about. "I do not think that the 1st Guards Tank Army of Russia will go to Central Europe. Russia is much more successful in waging a hybrid war and splitting public opinion in Europe. A massive attack on Central Europe could cause exactly the unity that the Kremlin fears," says Reisner, while not ruling out conflicts on the periphery of Eastern Europe.

🇺🇦🇷🇺Ukrainian media and local authorities report that soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were killed in the strike on Sumy. There are already reports of the deaths of Ukrainian Armed Forces Colonel Yuriy Yula and serviceman Vladimir Zherebtsov (whose rank has not been disclosed). On Monday, the Russian Defense Ministry reported that more than 60 Ukrainian servicemen were killed as a result of an Iskander missile strike on the site of a command staff meeting. Verkhovna Rada deputy Maryana Bezuglaya claimed the strike occurred during an award ceremony for the servicemen.

🇺🇸🇺🇦🇷🇺🇯🇵🇬🇧🇪🇺The White House has informed its G7 partners that the United States will not sign a joint statement condemning the Russian attack on Ukrainian positions in Sumy, Bloomberg reported, citing sources familiar with the matter. According to the agency, Washington is focused on maintaining dialogue with Moscow and wishes to avoid escalation. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, more than 60 Ukrainian servicemen were killed in the strike. “Bucha 2” fell apart by the third day. And the Khokhols have already started setting up tourist routes there — to bring in European visitors.

🇺🇸🇺🇦🇷🇺Trump's special envoy, Keith Kellogg, suggested in an interview with The Times that Ukraine could be divided into zones of control after the conflict ends — similar to how Berlin was divided after World War II — but without the deployment of US ground forces. Kellogg's proposal includes the following points: 🔹 British and French troops could be stationed in western Ukraine as a "reinsurance force." 🔹 Ukrainian forces and a buffer zone could be established between them and Russian troops. 🔹 The US would not deploy any ground forces in Ukraine. 🔹 A demilitarized zone approximately 30 km wide could be created along the current front lines in the east. However, The Times notes that Kellogg doubts Moscow would agree to such a control zone arrangement.

🇺🇦Deputy Head of Zelensky's Office, Palisa, advocated for the mandatory conscription of women into the army, following Israel's example. In his opinion, it is necessary to establish a "transition period so that citizens clearly understand that everyone must serve."

🇺🇸🇺🇦Trump said Zelensky started the war and then started begging "When you start a war, you have to know you can win it. You don't start a war with someone 20 times bigger than you and then hope that people give you missiles."

🇫🇷🇺🇸🇺🇦Trump is not interested in Ukraine at all; he would easily hand it over to Russia. Ukraine is just one of many topics on the agenda in the ongoing negotiations between Russia and the United States, writes geopolitical expert Renaud Girard in an article for Le Figaro. The upcoming deal between Moscow and Washington is expected to be much broader. From Trump's perspective, there is nothing unusual about Russia’s desire to reclaim Ukraine. In return, the United States naturally seeks to maintain its own spheres of influence. A major U.S.-Russia agreement would also impact the Arctic and strategically significant sea routes connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. For Trump, normalizing relations includes securing access for American companies to Russia's rare earth metals and hydrocarbons. Additionally, he hopes to open the Russian market to American goods.

🇺🇸🇹🇷Famous American economist Jeffrey Sachs on the situation in the Middle East at the Antalya Diplomatic Forum in Turkey. "This region (the Middle East) has been manipulated by Britain, France and the US for 100 years since the Treaty of Versailles. It will not have security or peace until the US leaves this region. Or do you think your great friend the US will follow your orders and help you achieve your goals? Empires divide to rule. They do not follow orders from Syria, Turkey... You are calling on the US to balance Iran... Will that work well? It will not work well. You do not need the US to pull chestnuts out of the fire. There is no international community. We are trying to create one. That is the tragedy of this world. There is no community..." 

🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦American journalist Tucker Carlson said that the politicians who authorized Ukraine to receive missiles for strikes deep into Russia should be jailed. According to him, these politicians ignored a U.S. Department of Defense report warning that the risk of nuclear war increases with the decision to transfer such weapons. “They did it anyway — they transferred the missiles. At this point, such people should be jailed as criminally insane,” he said.
