🇷🇺Fightercoper confirmed a Russian (Mi-8?) down. Experts will correct me if I’m wrong

There seems to be a pretty massive non contiguous convoy of Russians and FAMa personnel from Tessalit and Aguelhoc on the move to Anefis right now

Russians and FAMa are dragging out their evacuations, likely to buy their comrades further south more time to prepare

It does however not seem like they will withdraw from Anefis without a fight as the local commander seems very motivated and not ready to surrender

Likely once the convoy reaches Anefis the Russians will talk to the local FAMa commander and we'll have to see what happens next

Anefis is geographically in a position which could be defended and also vital for any potential reconquest of the north so a must hold

🇺🇦🇺🇸The State Department has approved the sale of 1,532 JDAM-ER guided bombs to Ukraine for $373.6 million under the FMS program.

FMS is a separate program for direct arms sales; it is not PURL, and deliveries are managed by the State Department (Rubio).

In total, under the FMS program during the Trump administration (Thanks to Rubio) in 2025–26, $2.832 billion worth of arms were sold to Ukraine.

(+PURL, but it’s hard to calculate there, since NATO stopped publishing data in 2026; roughly $4–4.5 billion in 2025 and $10–15 billion in 2026).

🇩🇪🇹🇷 German-Turkish athlete Arda Saatci is currently trying to run over 600 kilometers starting at Death Valley and finishing in Santa Monica California in just 96 hours.

Some of his previous achievements include a 3000 kilometer ultra marathon from Berlin to New York in 74 days back in 2024 and another 3000 kilometer ultra marathon in just 43 days back in 2025, running the entire length of Japan

🇺🇦🇷🇺Will Putin swallow it?

Ukraine will declare a ceasefire on May 6; if Russia wants a ceasefire on May 9, they will start it earlier—Zelenskyy.

Up to five UAVs are flying over Ukraine, with most of them in frontline regions. In effect, Russia might have accepted Ukraine’s proposed ceasefire.

There have been some incidents, but activity is much lower than usual. No repeat launches have been recorded so far.
