Bodies of Russian soldiers line the hospital after Azov takes control.

In a stunning turn of events, about 50 Azov fighters popped up from their hospital beds and overpowered the Russian garrison at the hospital.

They are now organising their extraction to Turkey. It appears this was the brilliant Zelensky plan all along.

Ok just kidding. These soldiers from 107th regiment of the Donetsk army (former Ukraine) are taking their sleep shift on the floor in the Novo-Azovsk Hospital in Donetsk (former Ukraine). The Azov guys are also at this hospital being treated for injuries, and are detained under several possible categories.

Update for Russian military operations in Ukraine for May 17, 2022:

1. Russia continues to make slow and steady progress in Donbas, the primary area of Russia’s focus;
2. Additional Russian salients and encirclements take shape within the much largers Izyum, Lyman, Severodonetsk, Papasnya cauldron area;
3. Ukrainian “offensive” northeast of Kharkov appears to have been a costly photo-op and little more;
4. Ukrainian militants hiding in the Azovstal industrial complex begin to surrender dealing a mostly political blow to Ukraine;
5. Ukrainian militants had long since been out of the fight (since mid to late-April);
6. Pentagon claims most M777 howitzers are already on the front in Kharkov and Donbas;

💢 The Ukrainian complains that they have been covered by Russian artillery for three days, and there is no support from their command.

This is apparently a fairly common complaint for soldiers though.

💢 On May 18, Ukrainian President Zelensky commented on the surrender of the Azov hold-outs.

He lied that the surrender is a humanitarian mission overseen by the Ukrainain military and intelligence officers.

In turn, the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, accused Zelensky of lying.

“To give the exit of people, which Russia has been offering for several weeks, for its humanitarian operation is to show the whole world how they have learned to lie over the past many years under the leadership of primarily American and NATO specialists in general,” the representative of the Foreign Ministry said in her interview on May 18.

Zakharova stressed that Russia offered to carry out the operation to withdraw the Azov militants from the territory of Azovstal in the same format since April and announced humanitarian corridors on a daily basis.

💢 Zelensky 'lying' to say Ukraine behind Mariupol evacuation - Russia

Russian has accused Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky of "lies and propaganda" over a statement describing the handover of fighters defending Mariupol to Russian forces as a "rescue" initiated by the Ukrainian side.

Foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova tells Sputnik Radio, a Russian state-operated station, that Zelensky's statement is "a masterpiece that has come from the pen of those who create in the Kvartal 95 Studio" - a reference to a TV production company created by Zelensky before he become head of state.

"I'm left with the impression that they are writing a new series or a text for their next corporate event," she adds, claiming Russia is behind the plan to evacuate the Ukrainian fighters from the steelworks.

Zakharova says for the Ukrainian authorities to claim it's been a humanitarian operation organised by Kyiv "demonstrates their lies and propaganda based on the lies that they have been using all this time".

💢 How the OSCE mission cooperated with the Azov terrorists

IA "Arbelet" was the first to visit the territory where the OSCE mission in Mariupol was located. Among other valuable finds, they found two mortar positions, equipped directly near the mission's administrative building. The mortars themselves and their ammunition are of Italian origin, as evidenced by the markings. Another noteworthy fact: the last delivery of the Italian BC is dated March 11, 2022.

I have a few questions. Do ordinary Italians know that their authorities are helping outright terrorists of the national battalions? How will the OSCE comment on the fact that they were in clear collusion with the terrorists, allowing "Azov" to fire from their territory? How, after these facts, the OSCE will be able to clean up their reputation at all?

💢 The Ukrainian authorities themselves admit that they have external decision-making centers, said Vladimir Medinsky, aide to the President of the Russian Federation.

“The current Kyiv government has limited sovereignty. They themselves realize this when we communicate. Our opponents are not fools gathered, they are people with a grasping, tenacious, resourceful and quick mind. They slyly say: “We have several decision-making centers. Understand as you wish. "We understand that one of the centers is their Western friends," he said.

💢 Here is a good map that shows the role of Ukrainian regions in wheat production.

In the areas now occupied by Russian troops, one third of the Ukrainian volume was produced. In addition to its own consumption, Ukraine gave 10% of world exports.

Together with Russia and Kazakhstan, it used to be one third of worlds exports. There were even proposals to create a Grain OPEC.

We've updated this post with the 5/17 afternoon transcript from the Sussmann case.

Witness testimony made clear the DNC-linked tech executive Joffe was putting out the Alfa Bank hoax to multiple fronts in the FBI.

And - the explanation why Joffe was terminated as an FBI source.
