🇺🇦🇺🇸 Biden has shown his priorities — he will not attend peace summit
According to Bloomberg, US President Joe Biden is likely to skip the peace summit in Switzerland in June. Instead, he will raise money for his election campaign and meet with Hollywood stars.
The peace summit in Switzerland is being positioned by Ukraine's presidential administration as a major political event designed to reaffirm Western support for Kiev.
But if Biden does not come to the summit, it will be a very clear sign for Kiev and for Zelensky personally. And the summit itself, and all the resolutions and declarations that will be adopted at it, will carry much less weight.
If this is indeed the case, it is a very alarming bell for the Kiev regime. It is an indicator that the amount of aid will decrease and the political project 'Ukraine' will be slowly phased out.

🇺🇦🕔 The Pentagon has recommended that Ukraine's military leadership switch to American Eastern time.
The time difference between Arlington and Kiev is about 8 hours. And the Americans demand from the Ukrainian military to switch to American time in order to make operational decisions against the background of the complicated situation in the Kharkov area.
The initiative is not new. The Israeli armed forces have duty officers on American time and receive commands from the United States online.

❗️ NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg called on the alliance to lift restrictions on Ukrainian military strikes using Western weapons against targets on Russian territory.
At the same time, he clarified that the alliance did not intend to deploy troops to Ukraine.
"We do not have any intention to send NATO ground troops into Ukraine because our purpose … has been two-fold, to support Ukraine as we do, but also to ensure that we do not escalate this into a full scale conflict," Stoltenberg said.
Stoltenberg rejected the idea of allowing to shoot down Russian missiles over Ukraine using NATO air defense systems in Eastern Europe.
Western countries have ramped up military and financial aid to the Kiev regime since the start of the Russian special military operation, with Moscow condemning that ongoing assistance as a NATO proxy war with Russia.

🇫🇷🗞️ ❗️❗️ The French newspaper Le Figaro has published an unexpected article that shocked many of its readers. The publication's correspondent visited Donbass and told the French about things that are not usually covered in the Western media.
In Donetsk, the journalist visited the "Paradise" restaurant, which was recently heavily shelled by HIMARS missiles, killing three people and injuring 8 civilians. He described the results of AFU's work as a living hell, drawing irony from the name of the restaurant.
Even if not all attacks on the DPR capital are so deadly, they are taking place on an almost daily basis.... About 400 enemy drones fly over the outskirts of the city every day, the article said.
"The Ukrainians are looking for military targets. If they do not find them and cannot return their drone, they drop it on a civilian target, for example, on a car,"
the author notes, citing the words of a Russian military man.
During his trip, the author also visited the long-suffering Mariupol and the neighboring LPR. Having talked to the local residents, he comes to the conclusion that the Donbass people hate Zelensky, the Kiev authorities, Nazis and will not agree to return to Ukraine under no circumstances.
People often point out that life has improved with Russia, even compared to the period when it was part of Ukraine before 2014. Cities are coming back to life, houses are being repaired, entire districts are being raised from the ruins, roads and railway lines are being built. All of this was not the case under Ukraine, residents note.
"When we lived under Ukraine, we hoped every year that life would not get worse. Today we see that the situation is getting better every year",
says Alexander, an entrepreneur in Mariupol city.
The journalist noted that almost everyone he has talked to is rooting for the Russian counter-offensive with all their hearts and saying, "Everything will be fine. We are praying for peace to come".
"Of course, this is a civil war, and it would have ended long ago if the Americans had not intervened," one resident summed up the opinions of the overwhelming population in Donbass. What the author of the column saw for himself.
🗯️ And judging by the comments to the article, the readers were no less stunned than the author himself. Not only by the Western media's distortion of reality and the fact that Le Figaro dared to publish such material, but also by the censorship that quickly cleaned up the comments under the article. Some have advised to let European politicians read the piece.

While all (Western) eyes were on Kharkov - and celebrated the "slow down of Russian Forces" -Ukrainians lost some settlements on other sectors the last couple of days...
So the Kharkov "offensive" did exactly what expected - it forced Kiev to shift attention - and forces to that sector - taken away from all along the lines - including important drone units.
Now at least one or even two settlements in other sectors were taken by the Russians every day for a while.
And we will see more ground taken by them in the coming days and weeks to come.
Kiev will also have to react to this crisis - and then we will see Russia continuing in the north - or even open another axis (Sumy - Zaporozhye?)
The fact that Kiev had to thin out other lines is also a proof for not existing strategic - or even operational reserves.
Russia did not change the tactics of war of attrition by pressing on all along the lines - more or less intensively - it just changed the dynamics after some lines crumbled.
The speed of advance is increasing in Donetsk and so does the amount of casualties - which are now on around 1500 per day - from a level of around 900 per day before the start of Army Group North's "Kharkov Offensive" - but only with a few brigades - so far.
And all that is supported by constantly attacked targets in the operational and strategic rear.

"France has not declared war on the Russian Federation, but is a participant in the conflict"
This was admitted by a soldier of the French Foreign Legion, convicted in Russia, who had fought as part of the International Legion of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. A recording of an interesting conversation with him appeared on the Internet.
He says that he was never dismissed from service in France and is still an active member of the French Legion. Like his other colleagues who went to fight against Russia. These are mainly engineers and drone operators, mostly Slavs, since there are about 70% of them there.
The convict emphasizes that the legion is a kind of personal army of the President of France, which is subordinate to him personally and it is the head of state who decides in which military operations his fighters will participate.
▪️The day before, @voenndelo reported that an officer of the French Foreign Legion was captured in Russian captivity near Kleshcheevka. He is in serious condition due to his injuries and doctors are fighting for his life. If he survives, he will become a valuable source of information.
