An elite Russian military unit is now rushing full steam ahead to capture Ukrainian positions. And the crutches? They're just for covering their tracks — nothing else.

"Russia wants Ukraine to lift the ban on negotiations with Putin in order to discuss Zelenskyy's proposal to cease strikes on civilian targets." - said Peskov.

Peskov claims that the Russian dictator is, as always, allegedly ready for talks, but everything Russia does is present its own ultimatums and seeks to "negotiate" solely on its own terms.

Since October 4, 2022, by decision of Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council, any direct negotiations with Putin have been prohibited.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot stated that the temporary "Easter truce" announced by dictator Vladimir Putin on Saturday was merely for show.

"The Easter truce, which he (Putin) announced somewhat unexpectedly, was a marketing operation, a bait operation aimed at preventing the escalation of impatience and anger from President Trump." Barrot said in an interview with FranceInfo.

Powerful explosions rocked the 51st GRAU arsenal of the Russian Ministry of Defense in the Vladimir region — 100,000 tons of ammunition went up in the air.

Among the destroyed items were glide bombs, artillery shells, rockets for multiple launch rocket systems, and components for air defense systems.
It was one of the largest depots in Russia.

Burning nicely.

The moment of the explosion at the occupiers’ arsenal in the Vladimir region. With excellent comments. As always.

A warehouse in Saint Petersburg also suddenly caught fire, covering 500 square meters.
Residents are filming a large column of smoke from various locations.

The Russian Ministry of Defense reports that the detonation of ammunition at a military base in the Vladimir region occurred due to a fire on the premises.

Probably just someone was smoking carelessly.

Russian occupiers know no bounds in their cynicism. They walk through war-torn Ukrainian Bakhmut — destroyed by their own hands — where they’ve already hung posters celebrating their so-called “great holiday” and flags bearing Soviet symbols.

Orban demonstratively voted against Ukraine's EU membership in a survey for Hungarians.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban shared a photo of his participation in the national consultation on Ukraine's EU membership. In one of the shots, it's visible that he marked the "against" box on the ballot.

Zelenskyy offered a new partnership model to the United States.

The draft for the Special Tribunal for the Crime of Aggression by the Russian Federation against Ukraine is ready and awaits political approval. It is unofficially referred to as the "tribunal for Putin."

The contents of the documents concerning the tribunal’s establishment under the Council of Europe framework remain classified for now. It is known, however, that Putin will not be prosecuted as long as he remains President of the Russian Federation. The same applies to Mikhail Mishustin (Prime Minister of the RF) and Sergey Lavrov (RF Minister).

According to the Financial Times, Putin is reportedly willing to give up full control over Donbas and the South if the United States recognizes the occupation of Crimea and bans Ukraine from joining NATO.

“I have instructed the SBU to share information with China about Chinese citizens working at drone factories in Russia. It may be that Russia stole drone technology from Beijing, as the information describes Chinese technologies.” Zelenskyy noted.

Forests caught fire near the 51st GRAU arsenal.
Detonation is still ongoing.

Odesa was once again under attack by Russian drones. Civilian infrastructure has been damaged. Multiple fires have broken out in residential buildings and private businesses across the city.

Yermak, Sybiga, and Umerov are already in London, where a meeting with representatives of the USA and Europe will take place.

"Today, we will discuss ways to achieve a complete and unconditional ceasefire as the first step towards a full-fledged settlement process and achieving a fair and sustainable peace." said the Head of the Office of the President, Yermak.

J.D. Vance stated that the U.S. expects territorial concessions from both Ukraine and Russia.

"There needs to be some territorial exchange. Both sides should lay down their arms, freeze the situation, and start building a better Russia and a better Ukraine." he said.

Vance added that if the American peace proposal is not accepted, the U.S. will withdraw from the negotiations.

Negotiations have begun in London. Without the Americans. They are in Moscow.

Unknown friendly drones are striking Yelabuga in Tatarstan, where Iranian-Russian drones are being assembled.
