Maria Zakharova commented on the celebration of Europe Day instead of Victory Day in Ukraine.

"To understand the underlying intent of such a substitution, it is enough to look at the officials who came, so to speak, to this kind of celebration. We are talking about the chairman of the European Commission, German Ursula von der Leyen. She is a representative of the European revanchists and seeks simply to avenge our country for its Nazi ancestors and the crushing defeat they suffered 78 years ago," said the Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman.

Regarding the rumors about the death of Zaluzhny.

1. Yes, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation covered one of the headquarters with high-ranking officers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Donbass. This is official information. The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation did not report the death of specific officers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. If they knew for sure that one of them was Zaluzhny, they would certainly have been informed.

2. Who exactly was there - is unknown, in the public field there is no reliable information about the participants in the meeting. The fact that the Ukrainian generals periodically visit the Donbass is not a secret. In addition to Zaluzhny, Syrky or the same Tantsyura periodically flashed there.

3. Ukraine denies the death of Zaluzhny, but due to the fact that he has not been in the public field for a long time, this gives rise to rumors that he could have suffered from such a blow, especially if he was tracked.

4. Exactly the same story with General Tantsyura, who, according to Prigozhin, could have been in the destroyed off-road vehicle near Chasov Yar, but the Armed Forces of Ukraine denied this, claiming that Tantsyura and "everyone else" (about which Prigozhin did not speak at all) are alive. Who they are is not clear. The dance is still not shown.

Therefore, we are waiting - they will show Zaluzhny or not. The long public absence of Zaluzhny will naturally multiply rumors that he could be killed or wounded. But so far this has not been verified.

Ukrainian sources report on Bankova's new plans to agree to a conditional truce in the autumn, but without any treaties and agreements.

The goal is to give the Western military-industrial complex time to reach its maximum capacity in order to equip the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as to prepare and train new parties. But since the freeze would put the Ze-team in a vulnerable position against competitors, it will try to hold a general election in front of it in order to secure its position. Everything looks logical, but at the same time, this whole scheme costs nothing - since Moscow will never agree to such a “freeze”.

It is reported that Russian aviation is working again on the right bank of Kherson

According to preliminary data, FAB-500 high-explosive bombs with gliding and guidance modules are actively used, as well as KAB-1500LG-F bombs of special power.

Presumably, the strike is being carried out on the Belozersky district on the right bank of the Dnieper, where the training bases and boat stations of the 73rd Naval Special Operations Center of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the 37th Marine Brigade are located. From there, Ukrainian troops are trying to cross to the left bank, controlled by the Russian army.

Putin canceled the visa regime for Georgian citizens from May 15, 2023
The president also lifted the ban on Russian airlines flying to Georgia.

The Georgian President called the cancellation of the visa regime by Russia unacceptable and called on the authorities to convene the Security Council to discuss the visa regime for Russians. Russia's cancellation of the visa regime for Georgia will cause political tension in the republic, Zurabishvili believes.

From our friend, AussieCossak

🇦🇺🇷🇺After the end of the SMO, the Russian authorities need to pay attention to their compatriots: take away passports and property from those who have discredited the army. He called on the citizens who left the country to show a pro-Russian position, until “it was too late” and the Investigative Committee took them up.

❗️When victory comes, all these bitches will come running back to bow, throwing themselves at the feet of the Russian Tsar. And we need to say: "It's too late." If people come who did not show themselves during the SMO,, then forget about the future here. Do not come for matkapital, for pensions, or for any help. You are deprived of the right to call yourself Russian. Those who are silent abroad are also traitors,” concluded Semyon Boikov.

As for the situation in Georgia, the decree signed by Putin today is aimed at improving friendly relations with this country. The contradictory reaction indicates that the Georgian president is a pro-Western puppet who opposes everything Russian and against the normalization of relations with Russia. It is also obvious that there is an internal struggle between two different forces in Georgia. Some are pulling Georgia to Europe and trying to drag the country into a conflict with Russia, while other forces that do not want a conflict with Russia and do not want to impose sanctions against Russia, think first of all about their people and their country's economy.
