The Sever Group of Forces' servicemen of the 126th Motorised Rifle Regiment, during the offensive actions, took control over Bochkovo in Kharkov region.

Before the assault, artillery launched an attack on AFU positions. Reconnaissance units played a significant role: UAV teams monitored enemy movements around the clock. This allowed the artillery and FPV drone operators to hit without a mistake.

The settlement was an enemy outpost from where the AFU planned to deliver strikes at positions of Russian troops.

The Sever Group of Forces' units advance in several directions continuing to create a security zone on the border of Sumy and Kharkov regions.

Russian air defenses intercepted and destroyed 203 Ukrainian drones over Russian regions overnight, the Defense Ministry reported.

"From 8:00 p.m. Moscow time on April 25 to 7:00 a.m. Moscow time on April 26, on-duty air defenses intercepted and destroyed 203 Ukrainian fixed-wing drones over the Belgorod, Bryansk, Vologda, Vladimir, Voronezh, Kaluga, Lipetsk, Novgorod, Rostov, Ryazan, Smolensk, Tambov, Tver, Yaroslavl and Moscow Regions, Crimea, and the Black Sea waters," the statement said.

Julian Röpcke, editor-in-chief of the German tabloid Bild, is emerging as a drone lobbyist in the service of Kiev. He is known as an employee of the BND (the German secret service) and was, as far as I remember, already very active in Syria supporting Al-Qeada and other terrorist groups, which until today the West (EU and US) call rebels..

Julian Röpcke, a Bild reporter and self-proclaimed "security expert" on war and peace, is not only well-known but also a familiar face. Röpcke can undoubtedly be described as an outright propagandist in favor of Kyiv. The Axel Springer employee, who was awarded the Order of Merit, Third Class, by Zelenskyy, has now announced a career change on X. According to his own statements, he is moving into lobbying for the arms industry.

Wordt Mali een tweede Syrië? Het Westen steunt Al Qaida, de wereldoorlog escaleert Wordt Mali een tweede Syrië?

Mali wordt geteisterd door een staatsgreep die door het Westen is georkestreerd; het is bekend dat Al-Qaeda wordt gefinancierd en getraind door de VS en Europa. Foto’s: Adobe Stock, Al-Jazeera, bewerking: Mirjam©Photo

Het gebeurt weer: het Westen, en in dit geval Europa, wil zijn positie versterken – we hebben het nu over Frankrijk, dat al zijn voormalige koloniën verliest. Formeel gezien hebben ze natuurlijk geen kolonie meer, maar in de praktijk bezetten ze nog steeds landen (net als Nederland) door economische belangen, meestal ten koste van de lokale bevolking, die gedwongen wordt voor een schamel loon te werken voor de grote bedrijven van Westerse landen.

De Malinese terroristische groeperingen Azawad Liberation Front en Al-Qaeda van de Islamitische Maghreb, getraind door de Franse en de Oekraïense geheime diensten, probeerden een staatsgreep te plegen in Mali met troepen van 10.000 tot 12.000 man. Op 25 april werd een poging gedaan om belangrijke gebouwen in de hoofdstad te veroveren, met name het presidentieel paleis.

Voor degenen die het afdoen als onzin dat Oekraïense huurlingen in Mali vechten (net zoals destijds in Syrië in 2024), het volgende:
“In augustus 2024 verbrak Mali de diplomatieke banden met Oekraïne nadat een Oekraïense inlichtingenofficier had gesuggereerd dat Kiev steun verleende aan Toeareg-rebellen bij een dodelijke aanval op Malinese soldaten en Russische Wagner-huurlingen. Deze aanval vond eind juli 2024 plaats in Tinzaouaten, nabij de Algerijnse grens, en veroorzaakte zware verliezen voor de Wagner-groep. Andriy Yusov, een woordvoerder van de Oekraïense militaire inlichtingendienst (HUR), verklaarde dat de rebellen “de nodige informatie” hadden ontvangen om de aanval uit te voeren.”

Russland ehrt Nordkoreas Soldaten: "Außergewöhnliche Tapferkeit, wahre Selbstaufopferung"

Eine russische Delegation ist am Sonntag in Pjöngjang eingetroffen, um den Beitrag Nordkoreas zur Befreiung des Gebiets Kursk von ukrainischer Besatzung zu ehren. Das russische Gebiet Kursk wurde am 6. August 2024 vom Kiewer Regime angegriffen.

Dank des Beistands Nordkoreas konnte der besetzte Teil des Gebiets bis Mitte März 2025 zurückerobert werden. Um dem zu gedenken, wurde in Pjöngjang ein neues Museum eröffnet. Das Staatsoberhaupt Nordkoreas, Kim Jong-un, nahm an den Feierlichkeiten teil. Unter den Moskauer Entsandten waren der Verteidigungsminister Andrei Beloussow sowie der Sprecher der Staatsduma, Wjatscheslaw Wolodin.

In einer Rede sprach Wolodin von "außergewöhnlicher Tapferkeit und wahrer Selbstaufopferung", als er den koreanischen Soldaten und Offizieren, die "Seite an Seite mit ihren russischen Waffenbrüdern kämpften", seinen Dank aussprach.

☝🏻Russian Defence Minister Andrei Belousov inspects Russian Defence Ministry facilities in Kyrgyzstan

Russian Defence Minister Andrei Belousov, as part of a working visit to Kyrgyzstan, inspected facilities of the Russian military base deployed in the Republic.

The military base, together with the Kyrgyz armed forces, ensures protection of the sovereignty and security of Russia and Kyrgyzstan. The 999th Guards Aviation Base (Kant city), which is part of it, serves as an aviation component of the Collective Rapid Deployment Forces of the Central Asian region under the Collective Security Treaty Organisation (CSTO).

The commander of the aviation base reported to the Defence Minister on the specifics of carrying out assigned tasks in the current military-political situation, the provision of units with modern models of weapons and military equipment, as well as the development of the facility's infrastructure.

Additionally, the Russian Defence Minister inspected the organisation of combat training for personnel.
During the inspection of the administrative and residential sections of the base, Andrei Belousov inspected accommodation and living conditions of military personnel and their families, and also visited the Aleksandr Nevsky Church at the base.

✍The world is changing rapidly. Today it was announced that the UAE is leaving OPEC (Oil Producing Countries) after 60 years. Reasons given included: the country, which is also an ally of the United States, had criticized other Arab countries. They allegedly were not doing enough to protect the UAE against the numerous Iranian attacks of recent times. We do not really know if that is the real reason. But the UAE has been hit hard by Iranian drones and missiles. Many foreigners have also left Dubai. American companies, which had a large presence there, have been hit by drones and oil refineries.
Furthermore, a "dispute" with Saudi Arabia is looming; the decision appears to be a heavy blow to the oil hegemony of Saudi Arabia, which holds a leading role in OPEC. But the departure of the UAE represents a major victory for US President Donald Trump, who has accused the organization of "ripping off the rest of the world" by artificially keeping oil prices high. Russia is of course also a member of OPEC, and it is a direct threat from America to Russia as well.
Europe is charting a different course, as many say a "collision course"—everything must be green, windmills and solar energy; while solar energy is the least of the problems for southern countries, it is a major problem for the northern ones in winter. De-industrialization is in full swing, deliberately created for the so-called 4th industrial revolution, everything man-made, of course. We have arrived in the time between two world wars, or perhaps even the time before the First World War. Although the third is actually already in full swing.

Nederlands belastinggeld voor Defensie gaat in rook op.

Uitzonderlijk grote (natuur) brand op het militaire oefenterrein bij ’t Harde in Gelderland als gevolg van een fout van het Ministerie van Defensie – soldaten met explosieven-oefening, foto’s Adobe Stock, Omroep West, Ministerie van Defensie, bewerking: Mirjam©Photo

Zo begon de berichtgeving van Omroep West:

“De regio’s Haaglanden en Hollands Midden roepen alle inwoners in onze regio op om deuren en ramen te sluiten en de ventilatie uit te zetten als u last heeft van de rook. De reden hiervoor is een uitzonderlijk grote brand die sinds woensdagmiddag in Gelderland woedt en die tot in Zuid-Holland te zien en te ruiken is.”

Verder meldde ze dat de brand was ontstaan op een militair oefen- en schietterrein in de buurt van ’t Harde, vlakbij Epe in Gelderland (Veluwe). De rook is (terwijl ik dit artikel een dag later schrijf) nog steeds zichtbaar tot in Leiden en Alphen aan den Rijn, en is te ruiken in Den Haag en omgeving. Wat ze echter niet vermelden, is dat de brand zich zelfs tot in Engeland heeft verspreid.

Terwijl Nederlandse burgers compleet gek worden van al het gepraat en propganda over ‘groene energie’, natuurbehoud en vandaag alweer een opruiend artikel over watertekorten – bizar, trouwens, in het waterrijkste land van Europa – dat nota bene onder zeeniveau ligt en waar ingenieur Lely land heeft teruggewonnen uit het water. Maar natuurlijk heeft dat allemaal te maken met die datacenters van Google e.a., die de drijvende kracht achter AI zijn en de absolute grootste water- en energieverbruikers! Die datacentres zijn bovendien slecht voor de natuur, net als defensie, al die wapens en munitie, die, zoals we nu zien, in vlammen opgaan in t’Harde.

Nederlanders trekken al massaal naar het buitenland, omdat de meesten vrezen dat Nederland volkomen onleefbaar zal worden, of in veel gevallen al onleefbaar is. Een politiek systeem dat burgers al jaren geen echte hulp biedt, besluiteloos door de vele partijen en verdeeld door oorlogen. Een nieuwe premier wiens ‘vriend’ graag TikTok-video’s maakt en zelf ook graag vliegt, en die, net als zijn voorgangers, Oekraïne en anti-Russische sentimenten boven binnenlandse zaken stelt en het woord diplomatie als een vies woord beschouwt….

🇷🇺🎙Comment by the Russian Embassy in the Netherlands to RIA Novosti (30 April 2026)

Has the Embassy seen reports about militants from the terrorist organization “Russian Volunteer Corps” (RVC) using weapons supplied by the Netherlands to Ukraine?

🔹 Yes, we are, of course, aware of these reports. We have taken note of the evasive responses from officials in The Hague, seen the photos of "RVC" militants posing with Dutch C7NLD rifles, and observed their use of Nazi salutes.

🔹 The crimes committed by the "RVC" against civilians are well known internationally. Judging by the reaction, however, the Dutch authorities appear to be the only ones unwilling to acknowledge this.

🔹 We have repeatedly warned the Dutch authorities about the risks associated with uncontrolled arms transfers to the Kiev regime, which maintains links with various radical groups. The Embassy has consistently pointed to the danger of such weapons being diverted and falling into the hands of openly neo-Nazi elements.

🔹 The current situation is a direct consequence of the Kingdom’s irresponsible policy. By allowing its weapons, including C7NLD assault rifles, to end up in the possession of individuals who openly glorify Nazi criminals and incite hatred, the Dutch authorities are, in effect, complicit in these crimes.

🔹 The designation of the “Russian Volunteer Corps” as a terrorist organization is well founded: it bears responsibility for war crimes, including the killing of civilians in Russia.

🔹 Claims by the Dutch authorities that they are not involved, based on assurances from Kiev regarding compliance with international law, are unconvincing and appear to be an attempt to avoid responsibility.

🔹 Lame excuses about “end-user certificates” and the “right to self-defence” do not withstand scrutiny when Dutch-supplied weapons are found in the hands of an organization that openly promotes neo-Nazi ideology and carries out terrorist acts.

❗️These developments are, of course, being taken into account by Russia in its military and political planning.

Which war would end first? I don't know. Maybe they're on a similar timetable. I think Ukraine, militarily they're defeated, okay? Militarily. You wouldn't know that by reading the fake news, but militarily, look, their navy... So they had 159 ships. Every ship is right now underwater. Typically, that's pretty good. What do you think, Jared? I mean..
