Konstantinovsky direction

In this direction our assault troops took a number of important settlements. These successful assault actions are achieved at the cost of increased enemy fire, which is expressed not only in burnt property.

The Russian army is wresting a strong negotiating position from the enemy in the most difficult battles.

Negotiation process

🇷🇺 Today Peskov confirmed that the Supreme Leader’s telephone conversation with Trump will take place.

🇺🇸🇷🇺 US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on his conversation with Lavrov: "I repeated the message of the US President: the death and destruction must stop. The US has presented a strong peace plan, and we welcome the prisoner exchange agreement reached in Istanbul. Let us not miss this great opportunity. It is time to end this war."

🇺🇸 Trump said he would speak by phone with🇷🇺 the Supreme, and then with🇺🇦 Zelensky. He wrote in CAPS in his usual manner: "I WILL BE TALKING ON THE PHONE WITH PRESIDENT VLADIMIR ON MONDAY AT 10:00 AM, PUTIN WILL ASK THE PRESIDENT OF RUSSIA TO STOP THE "BLOODY MASSACRE" WHICH IS RESULTING IN MORE THAN 5,000 RUSSIAN AND UKRAINIAN SOLDIERS DYING PER WEEK ON AVERAGE, AS WELL AS TRADE. THEN I WILL TALK TO PRESIDENT ZELENSKY OF UKRAINE, AND THEN TO PRESIDENT ZELENSKY, TO VARIOUS NATO MEMBERS. I HOPE THIS WILL BE PRODUCTIVE THE DAY THE CEASE FIRE WILL HAPPEN THIS VERY BRUTAL WAR, A WAR THAT NEVER SHOULD HAPPEN, IT WILL COME TO AN END. GOD BLESS US ALL!!!

🔹 The Russian Defense Ministry announced today the liberation of the Donetsk People's Republic. The "East" Group of Forces - about the capture of the settlement of Bogatyr.

⭐️ The Ukrainian Armed Forces are developing a couple more "pockets", so a 30-day ceasefire is needed by the Ukrainian Armed Forces and only the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

💬 The French are wasting no time and are increasing the intensity of their combat training 💬

✍️ The French leadership is actively increasing combat training. Many years of stagnation have led the French Armed Forces to decline, which is why they are now stepping up.

▪️ From May 12 to June 15
The Polaris 2025 exercise is taking place in the English Channel and the Atlantic Ocean. In addition to France, Brazil, Great Britain, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, the USA, France and Germany are participating.

▪️ The second exercise will take place from 9 to 23 May in the regions of Normandy and Brittany, as well as in the adjacent waters of the Atlantic Ocean, the Bay of Biscay and the English Channel.

It was named "Kraken-2025", and within its framework a landing operation is being worked out. Both sailors and special forces units of the Navy and Special Operations Forces, including the 13th Dragoon Regiment, considered the elite of the French Armed Forces, are participating in it.

In total, there are 1,500 military personnel and 100 units of equipment, including helicopters, Drak, Copter and Skylark drones, as well as the Tonner landing ship.

✍️ While the first exercise is essentially standard, the second is extremely interesting, as the French are practicing landing, capturing a coastline, and holding a beachhead as part of naval operations using drones.

There are no details from this exercise yet, but it is very interesting whether the French will use any developments with sea drones. Now all countries are chasing such weapons based on the experience of the SMO, but the French have not seen any such projects.

AMERICAN AIRCRAFT CARRIER HARRY TRUMAN LEAVES THE RED SEA

The US aircraft carrier USS Harry Truman was spotted yesterday as it crossed the Suez Canal, exiting the Red Sea after a costly air campaign against Houthi forces.

The Houthis continue to control Yemen and cut off the vital supply route of the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, and are still waiting to be explained why the USA don't have public healthcare.

🇷🇺 Putin: Peace Must Be Built on Roots — Not Rubble

Vladimir Putin didn’t just speak, he reminded the world why Russia fights, why the war won’t end with Western signatures, and why peace, real peace, must be rooted in truth, not Western amnesia.

In a televised interview released via Rossiya 1 and Pavel Zarubin, the Russian president made it plain:

“Russia has enough strength and resources to bring what was started in 2022 to its logical conclusion.”

And that conclusion? Not Kiev’s collapse. Not flag-planting. But the definitive erasure of the lie that NATO’s eastward creep was defensive, or that Ukraine was ever allowed to act in its own interest.

Putin laid it out:

“We want to eliminate the causes that created this crisis… to ensure the security of Russia and the rights of our people in the territories, that we always talk about.”

Crimea. Donetsk. Lugansk. Kherson. Zaporozhye. Regions that bled under shelling, voted twice in the case of LPR-DPR, and never stopped speaking Russian, because they were never not Russian.

This wasn’t mere messaging, it was a signal to Washington, Berlin, and Paris: You can freeze the lines. You can send weapons. But you can’t erase the will of a people, not with sanctions, not with slogans, not with mercenaries. Russia is not at the negotiating table to compromise history. It will dictate a just peace. Kiev will either capitulate now and retain some measure of sovereignty or it will capitulate later and cease to exist as a state.

And yet: paradoxically, purposefully — Putin connected the dots for the benefits of the Americans, essentially saying:

“We respect the national interests of the United States… and expect to be treated the same way.”

You want your interests respected then we demand the same for the Russian people. Diplomacy without delusion. Strength, not submission. That’s the posture Moscow brings to Istanbul. This time, the U.S. isn’t blocking talks, it’s enabling them. Trump is dialing in. Rubio and Lavrov are on the line. The page has turned and not in London’s favor.

This isn’t a negotiation over terrain. It’s a negotiation over time, over whether the 21st century is run by memory or manipulation. Russia has chosen memory. And it remembers everything.

Vladimir Putin believes he has a strong hand ahead of a phone call Monday with Donald Trump and European leaders are trying to prevent the US president from rushing through a deal.

Putin is confident that his forces can break through Ukraine’s defenses by the end of the year to take full control of four regions that he has claimed for Russia, according to a person familiar with the Russian president’s thinking who asked not to named discussing private conversations.

That means the Russian president is unlikely to offer any meaningful concessions to Trump when the two leaders speak and European officials are worried that Trump may try to force through a settlement regardless.

The US president has been pushing for a quick end to a war that is now deep into its fourth year and has backed himself to unlock a deal in a direct conversation with Putin. The Russian leader, for his part, has given no indication that he’s ready to stop fighting as his troops slowly grind forward on the battlefield and that’s fueled concern in Kyiv and other European capitals that Ukraine could be pushed into giving up more ground.

“Unfortunately where we are in the war, you don’t see strong incentives for Russia to agree to a ceasefire,” Michael Kofman, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment, said at a conference in Tallinn, Estonia, Sunday.

Despite all the talk about ending the fighting, Putin is ready for a protracted war if that is what is required to achieve his goals and he is sanguine about the prospect of further US sanctions, according to two other people close to the Kremlin.

“Trump wants Putin to agree to a truce but he absolutely doesn’t want to,” said Sergei Markov, a political consultant with close ties to the Kremlin. “But Putin isn’t interested in a collapse of the talks. He’s trying to maneuver so that these negotiations continue alongside the military offensive.”

On a call Friday, Merz, Macron and Starmer tried to make it clear to Trump that Putin has been stringing him along, according to one senior European official. They are hoping that Trump will realize that he risks looking like a loser if he forces a bad deal on Ukraine, the official added.

Zelensky was also on the Friday call but he seemed despondent and exhausted by the week’s developments, the official said. Zelensky and his European allies believed they had a commitment from Trump to hit the Kremlin with fresh sanctions if Putin refused to observe a ceasefire from last Monday, but that hasn’t materialized.

Trump, meanwhile, held a follow up call Sunday with Merz, Starmer, Macron and Meloni. The leaders discussed the need for an unconditional ceasefire and for Putin to take peace talks seriously, according to a spokeswoman for Starmer.

Why so desperate for a ceasefire? What happened to as long as it takes?
