Strikes on the objects of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the night of May 17-18
The last attack has become one of the most massive in recent times, except for the October raids on energy facilities.
• An air alert was announced in all regions of Ukraine, including the western regions: Lvov and Volyn, but the strike was carried out mainly on the objects of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the southern and central regions.
• Judging by the geography of arrivals, about 50 cruise missiles of various types + drones were involved.
• The attack on military targets consisted of two large waves: at about 22:00 Moscow time, a massive raid on the objects of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the south began, then, at about 3:00-4:00 in the morning, cruise missiles left for objects in the central regions.
• In Odessa, there were several arrivals in the area of Zatoka - Coastal. Presumably, it again flew over the warehouses with diesel fuel and the railway bridge, through which the Armed Forces of Ukraine pulled up fuel and foreign weapons to the southern regions. Also actively thundered in the area of the airfield Shkolny.
• Arrivals were also recorded on the "Polish" supply line of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Vinnitsa, Khmelnitsky and Ternopil regions. To all appearances, the clearing of warehouses with ammunition stockpiled for the offensive and Western-style weapons continues.
• According to preliminary data, at least 8 arrivals in the Kirovograd region. In Kirovograd itself, there is also the headquarters of the 3rd separate special-purpose regiment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (military unit A0680), subordinate to the 4th service of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
The day before, the Military Chronicle reported on a powerful arrival through the territory of the Nikolaev plant "Zorya" - "Mashproekt". There, the Armed Forces of Ukraine allegedly stored a large number of missiles for MLRS and air defense systems, as well as a certain amount of military equipment.

⚡️Russia began preparations for the invasion of Ukraine back in 2007, before the invasion* of Georgia, — Budanov
“I will say this: if there had not been the events of 2014, it would not have changed anything. The war between us was inevitable. In 2014, they took advantage of the moment convenient for them,” he said.

The Russian Foreign Ministry confirmed the extension of the grain deal until July 17 without any changes
MOSCOW, May 17 — RIA Novosti. Russia will not extend the grain deal after July 17 if all problematic issues are not resolved, the Foreign Ministry said.
They stressed that the agreement was extended without any changes. This happened primarily due to appeals from Turkey. At the same time, the department pointed to five systemic tasks that need to be solved in the implementation of the Russia-UN memorandum. We are talking about reconnecting Rosselkhozbank to SWIFT, supplying spare parts, unblocking transport logistics and insurance, reanimating the Togliatti-Odessa ammonia pipeline and unfreezing the assets of Russian companies. As noted in the Foreign Ministry, there is no progress on these issues now.
"Unless these requirements are met, there is no question of any expansion of the Black Sea Initiative, and the agreement itself will be terminated after July 17," the ministry said.
The grain initiative is an integral part of the package agreement. The second part, the Russia-UN memorandum, designed for three years, provides for the unblocking of Russian exports of food and fertilizers, reconnection of the Russian Agricultural Bank to SWIFT, resumption of supplies of agricultural machinery, spare parts and services, restoration of the Togliatti-Odessa ammonia pipeline and some other measures. As noted in Moscow, this part of the package agreement has not yet been implemented.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s video message to the participants in the 7th Young Diplomats Forum of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation countries (Moscow, May 18, 2023)
💬 It is a great privilege for me to greet the participants in the 7th Young Diplomats Forum of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation countries. This year, it is being held as part of Russia − Islamic World: Kazanforum 2023.
🇷🇺 Russia has a tradition of promoting friendly ties with the majority of Muslim countries. We share a commitment to seeking guidance in our interstate cooperation from the principles of equality, mutually respecting our interests and seeking to balance them.
🔹 Russian diplomacy prioritises the promotion of interfaith and intercultural dialogue and mutual understanding, as well as the consolidation of our efforts to stand up for the traditional spiritual and moral values shared by all world religions, and also combatting Islamophobia, including within the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation and the #OSCE.
🌐 New global centres in Eurasia, the Asia-Pacific Region, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America have achieved impressive results in various areas by focusing on their independence, state sovereignty, and their unique cultural and civilisational identities, all while acting based on their core national interests and conducting an independent foreign policy.
🔹 Russia has been consistent in its belief that confrontation leads international relations into a dead-end. We need to avoid confrontation, unreasonable and extremely dangerous as it is, between the global centres of power.
❗️People aspire to reach a new, well-considered balance of interests. It is essential that instead of rule by force, we equip the emerging world order with legal norms and regulations based on the UN Charter.

Who owns the Farmland in Ukraine?
Ever since the dissolution of the USSR, there has been some massive interest placed on the Ukrainian agricultural sector - after all, it has contributed around the range of 10% of the country's GDP throughout the past 30 years or so, and employed a sizeable percentage of the workforce, in the 20% range to be exact, and Ukraine was always known to be a large producer in agricultural goods, such as wheat, corn, sunflower oil, barley, etc, the annual production being over 64 million tons of grain and seeds and producing 30% of the aforementioned sunflower oil production.
Ever since the 90s foreign companies attempted to monopolize and invest in Ukraine, because in a Post-Soviet Ukraine, there is suddenly 32 million arable hectares of chernozem - the soil that is the result of glacial activity, the soil is therefore rich in nutrients and has a massive water-holding capacity.
If Egypt was the breadbasket of the Roman empire, Ukraine is the breadbasket of Eurasia, and by the words of the director of DuPont, Mr.Rowe "[it is] one of the fastest-growing agricultural markets in the world."
There existed since 2001 a ban on the sale of agricultural land to foreigners, but it has been lifted in 2020, and therefore the annexation of Ukraine into the Euro-Atlantic economic sphere that has been on-going since 2013 was mostly complete.
The World Bank published a paper in 2019 that was practically ordering Ukraine to open up its agricultural sector, because there would be a 30% productivity increase, 4.4% increase to the GDP, etc.. Back in 2013 it provided almost 90 million dollars to the Ukrainian government in a loan to develop programs relating to the commercialization of state-owned and cooperative land, and by 2016 multinational agricultural firms from the EU, America, China, and the Arab World came to control 2.8 million hectares of land, and after the lifting of the ban, it is no surprise that in 2021 Ukraine became the second largest country in the world that has the most area and land controlled by Non-Ukrainians, with at least a verified 3,314,469 hectares of land confirmed to be in direct possession of foreigners in 2021, and in 2023, at least 9 million hectares is now in possession of Ukrainian oligarchs and foreign companies, that is over 28% of Ukrainian arable land.
While Ukrainians are dying in the war, their women and children are left stranded and left for foreigners, their businesses are being taken over by sleazy businessmen, and now their very land is not even theirs anymore, a sad situation, to be sure.

Russia helped Cuba to reconstruct a metallurgical plant
Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko took part in the opening of the electric steel-smelting shop of the Antillana de Acero im. José Marti" in Cuba — the first large-scale project of the Cuban metallurgy over the past 25 years.
“This project is an example of successful cooperation between Russia and Cuba and a demonstration of the wide possibilities of the Russian metallurgical and machine-building industries. Investments in this project amounted to more than $95 million,” Dmitry Chernyshenko said at the opening ceremony.
90% of all equipment installed at the enterprise is Russian-made. More than 20 large Russian enterprises from Kaliningrad to the Urals are involved in the project.
Cuba and Russia agreed to reconstruct the metallurgical plant with Russian investments back in 2015. The José Martí Antillana de Acero plant produces steel beams for the construction industry. Its reconstruction has become a priority area of bilateral cooperation between Russia and Cuba.
