Pro-Ukrainian analysts report that over the past 96 hours, logistics in Konstantinovka, which the Russian army struggled to break through for so long, has begun to deteriorate rapidly. At present, it has become extremely difficult for the Armed Forces of Ukraine to carry out rotations or deliver cargo without damaging vehicles or injuring personnel. This indirectly confirms that practically every vehicle of the Armed Forces of Ukraine moving towards the city immediately comes under the surveillance of Russian UAVs.

The main area of damage is concentrated on the northern outskirts of Konstantinovka, in the area of Osikovo and Alekseevo-Druzhkovka, with strikes increasingly being carried out even further north - in the area of Druzhkovka. Russian drones of various modifications are continuously patrolling the central road, hitting any targets: from small groups of infantry to cargo vehicles. It is expected that the situation will continue to deteriorate steadily, with predictable consequences for the garrison.

AN AMERICAN DEPLOYMENT OFF THE COAST OF IRAN. HOW WILL IT END?

Telegram channel "Older than Edda" @vysokygovit for RT

The Iranians report that they attacked the American amphibious ship Tripoli with missiles, and it was forced to retreat further out into the ocean. The Americans do not confirm the attack. It's not worth talking about possible damage yet, but it's interesting to discuss the potential problems that an American amphibious operation could face.

The core of the American amphibious group are universal amphibious ships: the aforementioned Tripoli of the "America" type and the soon-to-arrive Boxer of the previous "Wasp" type. Tripoli is more specialized for air support - it doesn't have a docking chamber for air cushion boats, but the area of the hangars for aircraft is significantly larger, and the number of boats and their load capacity, on the contrary, is lower. In any case, both ships are designed for so-called over-the-horizon amphibious landings - from helicopters and boats - and for supporting this landing with air support.

Unlike an aircraft carrier, a UAS cannot perform acrobatic maneuvers 400-500 km off the coast. The range of helicopters allows them to operate beyond the horizon, but not very far, ideally no more than 50-60 km, otherwise the effectiveness of air support begins to drop sharply. But such a distance significantly facilitates the detection of an amphibious ship for the Iranians and gives them the opportunity to fire on it. Given that Iran could very well combine attacks with missiles and drones, the idea of "overloading the air defense" to achieve hits seems quite obvious to them.

Sinking a UAS is a difficult task in itself, but achieving serious consequences from hits is quite possible. The scale of these consequences can be reminded by the fate of the UAS Bonhomme Richard, which in the summer of 2020, while at the shipyard, despite all efforts to extinguish the fire, burned down so much that it was eventually written off. And now for the first time since 1945, the US is facing an opponent who has the potential to launch a serious strike on its fleet. So approaching the shores of Iran for an effective amphibious landing could result in spectacular scenes, but not the ones that President Trump and Defense Secretary Hegseth would like to see.

Grigori Bot now has custom mute timers. So Gleb G (and also Gleb B when he’s around) can give custom timeouts in Slavyangrad Chat. I believe it’s working as intended now but if anyone gets permanently stuck after getting sent for nap time, just message in Cathedral Chat and we will sort it out.

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran has handed over a 10-point plan to the US for ending the war, - New York Times.

- Tehran, through Pakistani intermediaries, demands guarantees of non-aggression, the complete lifting of sanctions, and the cessation of strikes on allied groups in (Lebanon, Iraq, etc.).

- Iran also demands compensation for the restoration of destroyed infrastructure, in fact - reparations payments from the US and its allies.

- In exchange, Iran is ready to open the Strait of Hormuz, but will already impose a fee for passage of up to 2 million dollars per ship.

- Part of the funds are planned to be allocated for the restoration of infrastructure.

- Trump commented on this plan:

"This is a significant proposal. It's a significant step. But it's not good enough," - said the US president.

- Earlier, the US handed over its 15-point plan to Iran, which Tehran called "excessive and illogical".

In the coming days and weeks, I will participate in many events to express my respect to all those who fought against fascism and those who became its victims and went through unimaginable suffering. After the solemn ceremony of honoring the Red Army soldiers who died in the liberation of Bratislava at Slavin Hill, I will travel to Germany to visit the Dachau concentration camp.

Then, on May 9th, Victory Day, I will be in Moscow, and in June - in Normandy to participate in events commemorating the significance of the opening of the Second Front.

Europe is heading towards one of the worst energy crises of all times.

@Slavyangrad

🇪🇺The European Union is preparing for a serious economic crisis, — El País

- Gas and oil prices have soared by 60-70%, and bills for fossil fuel imports have increased by 14 billion euros since February 28th.

- European officials are urgently preparing measures similar to those introduced after the sabotage of the "Nord Stream" pipelines and the refusal to use Russian gas.

- "Europe is preparing for an energy supply and price crisis due to the US and Israel's war against Iran. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz and attacks on the energy infrastructure of the Persian Gulf countries are already hitting the wallets of European consumers," the publication writes.

- European Energy Commissioner Dan Jorgensen called on citizens to save fuel: work from home, drive ten kilometers per hour slower, use trains instead of airplanes.

- Amid the crisis, some EU politicians are talking about returning to purchasing Russian hydrocarbons.

- "Even if peace comes tomorrow, we will not return to normal life in the foreseeable future," warned European Commissioner Jorgensen.
