Oh well. Back to brinkmanship.

Russian authorities are considering canceling the traditional May 9 Victory Day parades in Moscow and St. Petersburg due to the alleged threat posed by Ukraine’s new long-range missiles, The Moscow Timesreported on April 8.

Pro-war Russian military bloggers have raised alarms about the vulnerability of the high-profile events. Speaking on the Russian state propaganda “Solovyov LIVE” show, prominent pro-war blogger Ilya Tumanov highlighted the disastrous optics of an air raid siren interrupting the parade on Red Square.

The anxiety stems from Ukraine’s recently unveiled long-range strike capabilities, specifically the “Flamingo” cruise missile. Introduced last August, the Flamingo boasts a staggering range of 3,000 kilometers and carries a one-ton warhead—making Moscow, which sits just 450 kilometers from the Ukrainian border, an easy target, The Moscow Times wrote.

During his visit to Hungary, U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance stated that he does not consider "bargaining" between Ukraine and Muscovy over "a few square kilometers of territory" to be expedient. He effectively signaled once again that Washington expects Kyiv to be ready to make concessions to end the war.

😳 This is how Putin's army commanders prepare their soldiers or meaty assaults and encounters with Ukrainian drones in the kill zone.

❗️Ukraine has yet to receive any of the six F-16 fighter jets pledged by Norway in 2023, with all aircraft currently in maintenance in Belgium. Two were used for pilot training, while four required disassembly, with repairs facing delays that could extend for another year.

This morning, Israeli Army temporarily detained a Spanish soldier serving with UNIFIL. The Spanish soldier was part of a UN convoy attempting to deliver supplies (food & other resources) to an Indonesian contingent (which recently suffered three casualties in Israeli attacks). Israeli forces blocked the convoy & held the Spanish soldier for less than an hour. He was finally released following direct intervention by UNIFIL command & strong protests from the Spanish Minister of Defense, who described the incident as “absolutely unacceptable.”
Today, Israeli forces also attacked an Italian UNIFIL contingent, and given their decision to intensify their offensive against Lebanon, it cannot be ruled out that more UNIFIL soldiers will be killed, including Spanish soldiers.
It is worth noting that since 2006, Israel has attacked Spanish contingents at least 50 times, resulting in the death of one Spanish soldier from a direct attack. Hezbollah zero.
Spaniards must keep in mind who the real enemy is. 🇪🇸🫂🇱🇧

After hiding it for two days,

An Israeli soldier was killed and five others were wounded during a clash with Hezbullah in southern Lebanon yesterday, the military announces.

Another offier was seriously wounded and 4-5 others injured.

The heroes who eliminated them are still alive

Netanyahu:

The ceasefire was not a surprise to us.

🇺🇦 Fedorov: A record 33,000+ enemy UAVs of various types were destroyed by interceptor drones in March - twice as many as in the previous month.

The key challenge is reactive Shaheds. Our task is to find a technological solution.

Recently, Brave1 supported 12 technologies within the framework of the joint EU4UA Defence Tech grant program with the EU — companies will receive up to 150 thousand euros for the development of high-speed interceptors (450+ km/h) and modern systems for countering air targets.

Separately, at the request of the President, systemic issues were discussed: contracting for 2026, pilot training, testing ranges, shortage of ground stations, exports, updating the criteria for assessing effectiveness in the Drone Army. Bonus. We prepare solutions for each problem.

Netanyahu:

This is not the end of the campaign - the negotiations are a stage on the way to achieving our goals.
