🇺🇦 Budanov: “Wars cannot be won without people”
According to Budanov, you can win a war only if you have people, but without them you can lose.
“Guys on the front line also need to be replaced by someone”: Budanov on mobilization
Separately, Budanov emphasized that the army needs not only infantry, but also air defense, logistics, etc., so people must fulfill their civic duty.

🇨🇳🇹🇼 China Naval Presence Doubles Near Taiwan
Two Taiwanese security officials told Reuters that China has deployed nearly 100 vessels — naval and coast guard — in and around the South and East China Seas this week, up from a typical deployment of 50–60 ships. Intelligence reports reviewed by Reuters corroborated the figures, showing the increase progressed from roughly 70 vessels at the end of March.
Taiwan's Defence Minister Wellington Koo told lawmakers that China is continuously expanding its military capabilities and that the threat to Taiwan is becoming increasingly severe. Koo also stated that Taiwan must demonstrate its resolve to defend itself to the United States and other partners, citing risks if that resolve were doubted.
China also declared reserved airspace off its eastern coast from March 27 to May 5, roughly a week before a planned Trump-Xi meeting. Taiwan's National Security Bureau head Tsai Ming-yen said the measure may be intended to test the frequency of US aircraft operations in the Indo-Pacific ahead of that summit.

Zelensky says Ukraine’s decision to give up nuclear weapons was a “deception,” arguing NATO membership should have been the minimum guarantee, and criticizes signatories for failing to provide security as Russia now uses transferred assets in war.

❗️ Due to a personnel shortage, the Russians have begun forcing mentally ill homeless people without fingers to sign contracts.
☠️ GUR: In Russia, problems with those willing to fight are growing — the regions are forming lists of “volunteers” from debtors and students.
If the debtor is a woman, her husband or adult relatives — sons, brothers and even parents — are added to the lists.
In the future, these lists are planned to be used as a pressure tool to force them to sign “voluntary” contracts, offering to write off debts for communal services as a “reward”.
At the same time, the Minister of Higher Education of the aggressor country, Valery Falkov, instructed to prepare at least 2% of the total number of students to sign contracts.

🇺🇦 Zelensky: When Ukraine agreed to give up its nuclear weapons, the price the other side had to pay should have been fair.
I believe that NATO membership is the least Ukraine’s leaders should have gotten in exchange for a nuclear arsenal. What did we get? Nothing. It was a foul play and a big mistake.
If they asked you to give up your nuclear weapons, they should have given you a security umbrella. Maybe a nuclear umbrella.
In the end, it was all a sham. A significant portion of our nuclear weapons were transferred to Russia. For example, the strategic aircraft that Russia is now using against us in this war.

В Truth Social он фактически призвал венгров идти и голосовать за действующего премьера, рассыпался в комплиментах его «силе», «результатам», борьбе с нелегальной миграцией и любви к своей стране, а заодно дал понять, что остается с Орбаном «до конца».
Не уточнил, правда, до чьего.
Когда «вмешивается» кто-то не тот (например, поляки), это немедленно превращается в экзистенциальную угрозу; когда же американский президент и его команда почти в прямом эфире агитируют за удобного союзника в стране ЕС, это проходит уже по категории допустимой трансатлантической теплоты.

❗️👀 Zelensky: I think Putin understands that he cannot completely occupy Ukraine. He just sometimes shares messages with our partners that do not correspond to his real thoughts.
He has huge losses and does not have enough well-trained people on the battlefield. He is trying to find a way out of the situation that would look like a victory. That is why he is trying to push us out of Donbas diplomatically - through dialogue with the United States.
Because to completely occupy Donbas he would have to sacrifice from 300 thousand to 1 million people - depending on how many years they would plan this operation for. This is a huge price even for Putin.

🇺🇸🇳🇬 US Orders Non-Emergency Staff to Leave Abuja, Cancels All Visa Appointments
The United States has authorised non-emergency embassy staff to depart Abuja on security grounds and cancelled all visa appointments at its Nigerian mission, directing applicants to check their emails for information on rescheduled dates. The State Department also issued a travel advisory urging American citizens to reconsider travel to Nigeria.
The measures come amid heightened security concerns in Nigeria, where jihadist attacks in the northeast have intensified, including a recent assault that killed a senior army officer.

❗️Zelensky says Putin rejected proposals to test his intentions, including leader-level talks on territory and deploying US and European troops along the front line. He adds Moscow downplays land demands while targeting Donbas, warning this signals plans for further advances deeper into Ukraine.

💯 Zelensky: The Russians know that if we withdraw our troops from Donbas, it will divide our nation. Many people will oppose this. If the unity of Ukraine is undermined, Putin will come up with a new “blitzkrieg” to occupy Ukraine very quickly.
Even if this does not happen, he will use the further pause to recruit more people, train them, build up the military-industrial base and achieve the lifting of sanctions.
Therefore, a ceasefire in the format of “standing where we stand” is not only our desire, it is also in the interests of our partners.

🇺🇦🇺🇸 Zelensky: I told our American partners that they can tell if Putin wants peace by answering these questions.
First, try to arrange a meeting at the leadership level to discuss territories. Putin refused.
Second, if he does not want to continue the aggression after the ceasefire, offer to deploy American and European troops along the contact line. Putin’s answer was, “No, no foreign troops.” Why? That can only mean that he wants to move on.
Third, he has about 17 million square kilometers of territory. Yet he tells the Americans, “Look, what’s the problem? It’s only 6,000 square kilometers.” Can you imagine someone who has millions of square kilometers, 70% of which is underdeveloped and has no proper infrastructure, asking for more? Do we really believe that all he needs is an additional 5,800 square kilometers?
That is not his goal. Donbas is a strategic place in Ukraine. Once he gets our industrial cities and fortifications in that region, all that will be left is open fields and direct roads to our regional centers. I mean, we understand why he wants Donbas.
