🇺🇦 Zelensky: A good meeting with the leaders of the communities of Kyiv and Chernihiv regions.

We discussed protection from potential Russian threats and strengthening air defense and protection against drones in northern Ukraine. The Ministry of Defense has a corresponding task.

The threats that have existed since the first days of the full-scale war are not decreasing now. Everyone understands perfectly well that Ukraine cannot allow even a percent repetition of such risks for our people as existed then, on February 22.

📉 Russia's Central Bank is selling off its gold reserves at a 25-year record pace, - Bloomberg

Since the beginning of the year, the Central Bank of Russia has sold nearly 28 tons of gold for approximately $4.3 billion. This is the largest reduction in the country's gold reserves since 2002.

By May 1, Russian reserves had fallen to 2,298 tons—the lowest level since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Bloomberg notes that the Central Bank began reducing its gold reserves last year to help cover the budget deficit amid falling oil and gas revenues and support the ruble.

Russia used to be one of the world's largest gold buyers, buying up almost all domestic production

🚁 A helicopter was spotted in Belarus near the border with Ukraine. An air alert was declared in the Chernihiv region because of this.

Новый украинский дрон-камикадзе средней дальности "Бегемот", разработанный компаниями Culver Aerospace и GLEFA.

Противником заявляется, что БПЛА способен поражать цели на расстоянии до 300 км, несет БЧ массой 75 кг и летит с крейсерской скоростью 170-180 км/ч.

Связь обеспечивается через Statlink, что дает иммунитет к подавлению РЭБ и позволяет управлять дронов при помощи оператора.

In a major event in Lebanon

❗️The U.S. is sanctioning the Iranian ambassador to Lebanon, Hezbullah MPs, at least one adviser affiliated with the Amal Movement which is headed by the Lebanese Parliament Speaker Berrim

The big major news is sanctioning also the Lebanese State Department of General Secuituy's National Security Department Chief Brigadier General Khattar Nasser Eldin

And the sanctioning of the Lebanese army telligence Directorate Dahiyah Branch Chief Colonel Samir Hamadi.

Traitors in Lebanon lobbied for this for years and here it is

Sanctioning Lebanese and eventually Lebanon is a death sentence to all of us, especially out dollar based cash economy

LF, Kataeb, and many Sunnis and Druze and even some Shia opposition are rejoicing not knowing how bad their screwed us

Sanctioning Lebanese State figures will not destroy Hezbullah, it will destroy Lebanon and the segregation of paths that was there for decades is eroded.

🥔☢️ The footage shows Lukashenko giving the order to launch nuclear weapons during exercises.

👀🚫 Lukoil's Nizhegorodnefteorgsintez, one of Russia's top five largest refineries, has shut down half its capacity after a drone attack on Wednesday, - Reuters

The attack shut down AVT-6 primary processing unit, which accounts for 53% of the plant's capacity—25,700 tons per day.

The refinery, with a capacity of 15 million tons per year and Lukoil's largest refinery, has stopped dispensing small-scale motor fuel shipments since Wednesday and has also suspended gasoline sales on the exchange.

A Russian in Crimea complains that there is no gas at gas stations and prices are rising in stores. This is happening in various corners of the RF, but they aren't given any explanation as to what on earth is going on. Indeed, what is going on? Truly a mystery.

🇺🇸🇮🇱 WP: The U.S. fired far more advanced missile interceptors than Israel while defending Israel during recent fighting with Iran.

American forces launched over 200 THAAD interceptors — about half the U.S. stockpile — plus more than 100 naval missiles, while Israel used fewer than 200 of its own high-end interceptors combined.

The imbalance highlights how heavily Washington carried Israel’s defense burden.
