❗️Lawrence Boikov the younger brother of @AussieCossack Simeon Boikov performs a solo of the Russian march Farewell of the Slavianka last night in Sydney. Well done bro! 👏 🎶 🇷🇺
On another note, as we get closer to Russian Victory in the Special Military Operation we will observe Australia's Russian diaspora being more vocal and patriotic towards supporting the Motherland at this time of war.
As the Russian saying goes "У Победы много отцов" - "Victory has many fathers".
Sadly, at the beginning of the SMO the conductor of this same choir Nektary Kotlareff (son of DC member and lawyer Larissa Kotlareff) denounced the pro-Russian Z symbol via the ABC News.
Now it looks like attitudes in the Russian diaspora are changing to a more pro-Russian position. Better late than never.

❗️Albanese's talks with Mr Zelenskyy focused on how Australia could help maximise pressure on Russia.
Australia has provided about $1.5 billion in support to Ukraine, but the ABC revealed last month the fleet of retired Abrams tanks pledged to Ukraine last year remained stuck in Australia.
But Mr Albanese told Mr Zelenskyy at the opening of the meeting that the tanks were now "on their way".
However, he declined to provide any details to journalists after the meeting, suggesting that would undermine Ukraine's war effort.

❗️Albanese and Zelensky discussed Australian Oscar Jenkins, who was sentenced to 13 years in a high-security Russian jail after being captured fighting for Ukraine in December last year.
Mr Albanese said Australia continued to "seek his freedom and his return to Australia and we thank you for the assistance in that", suggesting Ukraine might be open to trying to secure his release through a broader prisoner swap with Russia down the track.
⚠️PS. Albo needs to stop talking to Zelensky about Oscar Jenkins. Jenkins belongs to Russia. Australia needs to negotiate directly with Russia if they want Jenkins to be exchanged.

❗️Australia's Defence minister coy on why Ukraine-bound tanks took so long
Australia's Defence Minister Richard Marles would refused to answer why it took so long for Australia to start shipping tanks to Ukraine, insisting the first had left the country “some time ago”.
Overnight, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese told Zelensky that the first of the 49 donated Australian Abrams tanks, had left Australia bound for Europe.
“As I say, the first tranche has been on their way for some time but I’m not going to go into specific details of that,” he said.

❗️Bloomberg writes that Russia will completely break through the defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces by the end of the year.
"Putin is confident that he has a strong position in the negotiations that are to take place today with Trump, and believes that his army will be able to break through the Ukrainian defenses and take control of four regions by the end of the year. A person familiar with the Kremlin leader's opinion said that Putin is confident that the Russian Armed Forces will be able to break through the Ukrainian defenses and take full control of four regions by the end of 2025.
Putin is ready for a long war and is also optimistic about the sanctions that the European Union and the United States are preparing to impose in response to Russia's refusal to cease fire. Putin will insist on Russia's vision of a cease fire during his conversation with Trump"
