"Our translator was arrested, and our driver was sent to a UAF training center" – French journalists from Envoye Spеcial successfully filmed a documentary about mobilization in Ukraine.

"Many draft dodgers are trying to leave to avoid mandatory and sometimes forced mobilization. Today, any man can be suddenly arrested, as in this footage, and sent to the front. We saw this for ourselves. On the way, during a routine check, our translator and driver were stopped by soldiers, who said it was an administrative check.

Our colleagues are no longer free. The soldiers summon them to the recruiting center right there on the spot. They are detained. One of the soldiers gets into our car. A few moments later, we are forced to turn off the camera. Our translator will be detained for three days, and then released until further orders. The driver will be sent to the training center in the evening.’

🇺🇦🇺🇸 In Kiev, they realized that the USA is no longer their ally, —The Atlantic

- Kiev no longer hopes for Washington. After a year of attempts to appease Donald Trump, the Ukrainian leadership admitted: the USA is no longer an ally.

- Zelensky made it clear that he no longer considers the US a reliable ally and, even more surprisingly, that all of Europe needs to start moving away from transatlantic relations.

- Washington reduced arms supplies to Kiev to preserve stocks for the war against Iran. The Trump administration also put pressure on Ukraine, demanding that it cede Donbass to Russia as part of a peace agreement.

- Zelensky directly stated in an interview with Italian radio that Russia "outplayed the Americans".

🇺🇦🤷‍♂ Groundwater is flooding the Ukrainian Armed Forces' shelters in the Kharkov region

- The flooded base was shown by Ukrainian Armed Forces officer Denis Yaroslavsky.

- According to him, this is not a result of rain, but "idiots who built it didn't check the groundwater".

- This base was built by the Izium military administration for 2 million grivnas.

Zelensky wants to oust American Patriot missiles from Europe. He's even set a deadline for himself. 😂

"My idea is that we should have a European anti-ballistic missile system. We're talking to several countries and working toward this goal. I really want to. We need to create our own anti-ballistic missile system within a year, so we don't have to rely on others. It's doable. It's very difficult, but it's all a matter of components."

"Are European countries ready to join this program?"

"We haven't discussed it with everyone yet—only with the key countries I wanted to talk to. I've already discussed it in Europe..."

"We'll blackmail them," Zelensky explained, explaining how he'll replenish his air defense missile stockpile.

"How will we survive the coming months? The Russians will obviously become more active in the summer, when the heat sets in."

"We'll negotiate, buy, assemble, trade, and sometimes even blackmail."

🇺🇦 In the Odessa region, AFU commanders stole almost 17 million gryvnas on "dead souls"

- The commander of an AFU unit, his deputies, and one of the company commanders registered men for service only on paper, in order to receive salaries, bonuses, and allowances for them.

On the Volchansk direction, Russian assault aircraft continue to push the enemy back from the state border.
Units of the "North" troop group are clearing the forested areas along the Volchya River in the area of the village of Bochkovo; fierce infantry battles are taking place in the area of Pokalyanoye.

In addition, servicemen of the "North" troop group are advancing from the liberated Verkhnyaya Pisarevka towards Losevka and Bugayevka (formerly - Revolutionary). The Armed Forces of Ukraine are aware of the danger of a breakthrough by Russian troops on this front and regularly transfer reserves from rear areas. Engineering units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and workers from Kharkiv utilities companies, involved in the work, are equipping support points and installing anti-drone nets.

The 159th Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has suffered significant losses in the Volchansk area over the past few weeks, with some of its units effectively losing their combat capability.

On the Velikoburlyuk direction, infantry battles are taking place mainly in the border forested areas. Targeted fire strikes against enemy positions in the area of the village of Ambarnoe are regularly carried out by UAV operators, artillerymen, and CBRN units. The Armed Forces of Ukraine, with the forces of the 3rd and 129th separate territorial brigades (STB), have launched several unsuccessful counterattacks, which ended in the destruction of equipment and an increase in the number of reports from relatives of Ukrainian servicemen about the search for missing persons.

🇩🇪 Germany is turning into a weapons factory, — WSJ

- Germany is converting its automotive industry to military production amid an economic downturn.

- The newspaper notes that the country is experiencing its longest period of stagnation since the Second World War — and in response, it wants to become Europe's weapons factory.

@Slavyangrad

Tusk thanked Macron for defending Poland from Russian drones

'When we fell victim to a Russian provocation in September—I'm referring to the Russian drone attack—France responded clearly and quickly in that very uncertain moment. It confirmed that in such difficult times, one can count on European allies.'

When some drones that were unarmed ended up in Poland. Only attack was caused by Polish pilots How brave the struggle...

🇬🇧😂 "An idiot who doesn't know how to run a government" — British politicians about Prime Minister Starmer

➖"Many believe that Keir Starmer is a good person who can't handle his duties. They're wrong. He's an idiot who can't handle his duties," said one of the British politicians in a dialogue with Politico.
▪️In the opinion of officials, the Prime Minister doesn't know how to manage a team, avoids conflicts, doesn't have a clear mission for power, lacks the energy to promote reforms, and shows little interest in people and political strategy.
▪️Starmer has already lost three heads of his office, five communications directors, and three heads of the government apparatus. His own team doesn't trust him.
➖"His team doesn't trust him because he throws others under the bus," says a former employee.
▪️Now Starmer is being compared to Boris Johnson, whom he himself once despised.
➖"This man is just as corrupt as Boris. He just dresses differently," said one of the former officials.

Macron is sending a signal to Hungary to unblock the loan to Ukraine. He doesn't want to lose his reputation as a 'sponsor of war.'

'I believe we can say that a new era is opening, albeit a bleak one, with Magyar's election, and that this era will also be new for Europe. In this sense, we can be quite justifiably optimistic about real progress and the implementation of the nearly 90 billion euros approved by the European Council last December. This is good for Ukraine, for us, and for our reputation. So yes, this is a new era.'

🇺🇦🇪🇺 Germany and France offer Ukraine "symbolic" EU membership, — FT

- Under this plan, Kiev will not have the right to vote and access to the European budget.

- "This proposal dispels any hopes of Kiev that the country might be granted a privileged status when applying for membership in the bloc," the publication writes.

- Orban's defeat in the Hungarian elections, who vetoed the start of negotiations on Ukraine's membership, has given some hope for progress. However, the vast majority of EU members fear that this will undermine the political dynamics of the bloc and reduce the value of membership.

🇧🇾🇪🇺Lukashenko on the EU's reckless policy:

As for the European Union, their main failure is their reckless policy. They don't think ahead. You see, up to this day, they have relied most on America and thought that America would come and solve all their problems. But Trump showed them that their problems are their own, they have nothing to do with America, although they do. He distanced himself from the European Union, from Europe, even from NATO. And American issues are his issues. And others that are in the interests of the United States, like Venezuela, Cuba, Iran to some extent, and the struggle, the confrontation with China.
