🇫🇷🗞️ ❗️❗️ The French newspaper Le Figaro has published an unexpected article that shocked many of its readers. The publication's correspondent visited Donbass and told the French about things that are not usually covered in the Western media. In Donetsk, the journalist visited the "Paradise" restaurant, which was recently heavily shelled by HIMARS missiles, killing three people and injuring 8 civilians. He described the results of AFU's work as a living hell, drawing irony from the name of the restaurant. Even if not all attacks on the DPR capital are so deadly, they are taking place on an almost daily basis.... About 400 enemy drones fly over the outskirts of the city every day, the article said.

"The Ukrainians are looking for military targets. If they do not find them and cannot return their drone, they drop it on a civilian target, for example, on a car,"

the author notes, citing the words of a Russian military man. During his trip, the author also visited the long-suffering Mariupol and the neighboring LPR. Having talked to the local residents, he comes to the conclusion that the Donbass people hate Zelensky, the Kiev authorities, Nazis and will not agree to return to Ukraine under no circumstances. People often point out that life has improved with Russia, even compared to the period when it was part of Ukraine before 2014. Cities are coming back to life, houses are being repaired, entire districts are being raised from the ruins, roads and railway lines are being built. All of this was not the case under Ukraine, residents note.

"When we lived under Ukraine, we hoped every year that life would not get worse. Today we see that the situation is getting better every year",

says Alexander, an entrepreneur in Mariupol city. The journalist noted that almost everyone he has talked to is rooting for the Russian counter-offensive with all their hearts and saying, "Everything will be fine. We are praying for peace to come". "Of course, this is a civil war, and it would have ended long ago if the Americans had not intervened," one resident summed up the opinions of the overwhelming population in Donbass. What the author of the column saw for himself. 🗯️ And judging by the comments to the article, the readers were no less stunned than the author himself. Not only by the Western media's distortion of reality and the fact that Le Figaro dared to publish such material, but also by the censorship that quickly cleaned up the comments under the article. Some have advised to let European politicians read the piece. 🇷🇺 Follow!

West uneasy about budding relations between Moscow, Beijing Sergey Ryabkov is confident that "everyone is now assessing the political messages that were sent" during Russian President Vladimir Putin’s visit to China. Our opponents, including the US and its satellites, are undoubtedly concerned about increasingly close ties between China and Russia," the senior diplomat pointed out. "This is very important because it is the major stabilizing factor in today’s international politics and international life," Ryabkov noted. The deputy foreign minister said that Putin’s China visit was, without exaggeration, a historic event. "A big step was taken towards expanding our cooperation with regard to almost the entire range of work we are doing," he concluded. t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

Idea of using US weapons for strikes on Russia comes from hotheads in Congress — Kremlin According to Dmitry Peskov, the general fairway of Washington's foreign policy is aimed at "provoking war to the last Ukrainian" "There are many hotheads in Congress who would like to further provoke tensions and who follow the general fairway of Washington's foreign policy aimed at provoking war to the last Ukrainian," Peskov said. On Tuesday, the Politico newspaper cited a letter by lawmakers from both parties in the US House of Representatives demanding the Joe Biden administration allowed Ukraine to strike Russian territory using US weapons. The letter called on US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin to authorize "the use of US-provided weapons to strike strategic targets within Russian territory under certain circumstances". According to the congressmen, "It is essential the Biden Administration allows Ukraine's military leaders the ability to conduct a full spectrum of operations necessary." t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

EU won’t transfer income from frozen assets to Russia even after sanctions are lifted According to the document, "the rules protecting sovereign assets are not applicable to these revenues" "Unexpected and extraordinary revenues do not have to be made available to the Central Bank of Russia under applicable rules, even after the discontinuation of the transaction prohibition. Thus, they do not constitute sovereign assets. Therefore, the rules protecting sovereign assets are not applicable to these revenues," as stated in the resolution on the expropriation of income from the reinvestment of Russian assets to finance arms supplies to Kiev. Earlier, experts in the banking sector repeatedly explained the complete inconsistency of Brussels’ logic, which, in fact, is equivalent to the statement that income from a bank deposit does not belong to its owner. t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

🇺🇸 🪖 Founder of the largest American PMC Blackwater Erik Prince: [Why are we sending another 60 billion dollars to Ukraine].

Much of this money goes to five major defense contractors to replace the five times more expensive weapons we have already sent to the Ukrainians. So, you know, if we send them something that was built ten years ago, it will now cost four or five times more. So, again, this is a massive scam, paid for by the Pentagon, which doesn't know how to buy things cheaply. It won't change the outcome of the battle. ... You know, the maps move depending on military victories, diplomatic breakthroughs. And now the Russians are winning, and they will have a very good summer.

Deploying Western troops to Ukraine to trigger world war — top Hungarian diplomat Peter Szijjarto stressed that Hungarians grew "tired of the attempts to drag all of Europe and even the entire world into the war". He noted that the Hungarians "have already grown weary of these dangerous statements" which continue to be voiced over the Ukrainian conflict. "We’ve grown tired of the attempts to drag all of Europe and even the entire world into the war. We are tired of the talk about deploying ground troops and using nuclear arms in Ukraine," the top Hungarian diplomat said. In relation to this, he expressed hope that at elections to the European Parliament on June 6-9 voters will be able to "send a signal to European politicians who are talking nonsense." The Hungarian government is essentially saying that the issue of war and peace will be resolved at these elections and asking to support those political parties that oppose the continuation of the armed conflict in Ukraine. t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

“Pro-Pedophile” Activist Group Celebrates As Germany Decriminalizes Child Porn Possession. Germany’s Parliament (Bundestag) has received the votes necessary to remove a section of the Criminal Code which made the possession of child sexual abuse materials a felony crime. Once the bill, passed last Thursday, comes into effect, minimum sentences for the possession of child pornography will be reduced, and the offense will be downgraded to a misdemeanor. According to the Bundestag, the bill stipulates that “possession and acquisition should be punishable with a minimum penalty of three months’ imprisonment, and distribution with a minimum penalty of six months’ imprisonment, and distribution with a minimum penalty of six months’ imprisonment. The offenses regulated in Section 184b of the Criminal Code are therefore classified as misdemeanors and not as crimes.” Read more from the source. t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

❗️EXCLUSIVE❗️ Tucker Carlson refutes reports that he has become a host on Russian television Newsweek and several other outlets reported yesterday that Tucker Carlson launched his own show on Russian television, a claim that was then widely picked up by users on social media. Tucker Carlson told Sputnik that this claim was unequivocally false.

“By claiming I work for a foreign government, Newsweek is trying to justify a FISA warrant that would allow the Biden administration to continue to spy on me. It’s disgusting,” he said.

Zelensky ‘yelling at generals’ – The Economist The Ukrainian president allegedly believes that he is being kept in the dark about the situation at the front. Purported fits of presidential rage were mentioned in a Monday report on the situation in Kharkov Region, where Russian forces have gained significant ground over the last month. According to the British newsweekly, Ukrainian troops deployed there are angry at the development and have competing theories about the causes. Some blame the US and its allies for insufficient and untimely aid, not unlike Zelensky himself, while others “suspect that incompetence, or even treachery, played a more significant role.” There are also “conspiracy theories” about politicians in Kiev and Washington conspiring to sell the territory “down the river ahead of an ugly peace deal.” t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

NATO state’s PM calls for breakup of Russia It is not a bad thing when a big power becomes much smaller, Estonia’s Kaja Kallas has said. Kallas made the suggestion on Saturday during a debate in the country’s capital, Tallinn, at an event dedicated to supporting Ukraine. "Russia’s defeat is not a bad thing because then you know there could really be a change in society,” the prime minister told the 17th Lennart Meri Conference. The Russian Federation is comprised of “many different nations” and suggested that they should become separate states after the end of the conflict between Moscow and Kiev, she argued. "I think if you would have more like small nations... it is not a bad thing if the big power is actually made much smaller,” Kallas said. The Constitution of the Russian Federation describes the polity as a multinational state. According to the 2020-2021 census, the country’s population speaks 155 different languages, with Russian being the most common. t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

Kremlin finds US reaction to ICC’s demand for Netanyahu arrest warrant 'curious' "On the one hand, we Russia do not support it, but on the other hand, of course, we are monitoring the situation," Dmitry Peskov highlighted. "You know, we are not a party to the ICC, so we do not fall under the jurisdiction of this court," the spokesman said. "But on the whole, the situation is more than curious in terms of the US reaction and readiness to use sanction methods even with regard to the ICC. Quite curious. So, on the one hand, we do not support it, but on the other hand, of course, we are monitoring the situation," he added. US House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson said earlier that American lawmakers are considering the possibility of introducing sanctions against the ICC in case it issues an arrest warrant for Netanyahu. t.me/ForeignAgentIntel
