Italian PM Meloni:

"Italy has upheld all the commitments it has signed, it has always done so. We have done this especially within NATO; we have done it even when our direct interests were not at stake. We did it in Afghanistan, we did it in Iraq, and therefore some things that have been said about us I do not consider correct."

Russian milblogger Military Informant:

"Overall, it's telling that the real reason for the warning by Russian Defense Ministry regarding strike on Kyiv wasn't attacks with Western missiles deep into the country, nor the burned-out oil depots and refineries, nor Kursk, Bryansk, and Belgorod—but the threat of disrupting the May 9th parade.

Is there any need to comment on the level of priorities here? We don't think there is any need. The main thing is to parade tanks around Red Square once a year, and the rest is just vanity."

The ceasefire looks pretty much done, but the war isn’t... and now it seems like the president is trying to pull more countries, including China and South Korea, into a conflict he claimed was "terminated" and already won just days ago.

Trump tells Fox News Iran will be “blown off the face of the earth” if it attacks U.S. ships guiding vessels through the Strait of Hormuz. https://twitter.com/RpsAgainstTrump/status/2051347513056080088/photo/1 - Republicans against Trump
