"A three-hour conversation took place. It was constructive and very useful," the Kremlin official.
This marks their second meeting in the past two weeks and the fourth since the start of the year. The previous encounter took place in St. Petersburg on April 11 and lasted for more than four hours.

‼️🇷🇺🇺🇸 On the front line, the son of CIA Deputy Director Michael Gloss, who fought in the Russian Airborne Forces, was killed.
▪️His mother, Julian Gallina Gloss, graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy, worked in intelligence for more than 30 years, served in the U.S. Navy, held various positions in the military, and for the last 6 years worked at the CIA, where in February 2024, she became Deputy Director for Digital Innovation. His father, Larry Gloss, is also a U.S. Navy veteran, participated in the Iraq invasion, and now heads an organization that develops software for the security of the U.S. government and other NATO countries.
▪️His family reported in an obituary that the 21-year-old American became a hippie, traveled the world, built homes in Honduras, restored buildings in Turkey destroyed by earthquakes, was an eco-activist, and publicly supported Ukraine.
❗️However, his views changed. In 2023, he decided to go to Crimea to meet the “Rainbow Family” hippie movement. He wrote on social media that he wanted to obtain Russian citizenship and applied for a Russian visa.
➖”I am an ecologist. I want to help create infrastructure in Russia and neighboring countries that grow food year-round. This will help stabilize food prices throughout the year. And overall, reduce food price inflation,” said Gloss.
▪️He then acquired a Soviet flag, created a VK account, subscribed to groups about Lenin, Stalin, and communism, and posted videos with Putin.
▪️He ended up in Vladikavkaz, and later in Moscow, where he attended a music festival.
▪️A record with his data appeared in the EMIAS (Unified Medical Information and Analytical System of Moscow), where his address was listed as a recruitment point for contracts on Yablochkova Street, and his “apartment” was listed as a medical examination room number 302.
▪️He began living in the “Avangard” training center in the Moscow region. About 14 days later, he was stationed in a military unit in Ryazan.
▪️He wrote that he was “working” in Russia to save money, get a passport, and travel to Africa. Shortly thereafter, he found himself on the front line as part of the 137th Airborne Regiment, and on April 4, 2024, he was killed during an assault near Razdolovka and Vesely, as reported by his family in the obituary.

“Ukrainians and Europeans Warn Trump: China May Invade Taiwan” — The Telegraph Reveals Document on U.S. President’s Desk
A new document presented to Donald Trump, as reported by The Telegraph, outlines a familiar playbook of Western alarmism. Crafted by Ukrainian and European officials, it mixes local frustrations with global fear tactics — all aimed at keeping the West locked into their agenda.
The first two points emphasize that any future peace deal must not be seen as Ukraine capitulating — a puzzling demand given the battlefield realities. In an unexpected twist, the document also includes a warning about a possible Chinese invasion of Taiwan, suggesting a broader strategy of invoking global instability to ensure U.S. commitment.
The third point tries to reposition Ukraine at the heart of the peace process, despite its decreasing influence and military setbacks. It’s a move clearly designed to keep Kyiv’s voice artificially elevated, even as real leverage shifts elsewhere.
The fourth point warns that letting Russia keep Crimea could pose a threat to NATO allies around the Black Sea, such as Turkey, Romania, and Bulgaria. This claim rings hollow considering Crimea has been under stable Russian control since 2014, with no aggression shown toward neighboring states.
Finally, the fifth point insists that Russia must not be allowed to limit Ukraine’s military or defense industry — a demand that conveniently ignores the fact that Ukraine has become heavily reliant on foreign support and has little room to dictate the terms of peace.

Crimea to remain Russian — Trump
According to the US president, "everybody understands" that Crimea has long been part of Russia
NEW YORK, April 25. /TASS/. Vladimir Zelensky realizes that Crimea will remain under Russian ownership, US President Donald Trump said in an interview with Time magazine.
"Crimea will stay with Russia. And Zelensky understands that," he said.
According to Trump, "everybody understands" that Crimea has long been part of Russia. He noted that most people in Crimea speak Russian. Meanwhile, the US president declined to answer the magazine's question about whether he recognizes the Donetsk People's Republic, the Lugansk People's Republic, the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions as Russian under the final settlement. "We have to only talk about Crimea because that's the one that always gets mentioned," the president noted.

Japan’s secret satellite weapon now in Ukraine’s ‘war hands’ Apr 24, 2025
On April 21, 2025, Japan announced it would share these images—produced by synthetic aperture radar [SAR] satellites operated by the Institute for Q-shu Pioneers of Space [iQPS]—with Ukraine’s military intelligence agency, known as the GUR. This marks the first time Japan has ever shared such geospatial intelligence with any foreign nation, a decision that could reshape how Ukraine conducts surveillance in its ongoing conflict.
The significance of this development lies in the unique capabilities of SAR technology. Unlike optical satellites, which require clear skies and daylight to capture usable images, SAR satellites emit microwave pulses that bounce off the Earth’s surface and return to the satellite, creating detailed two- or three-dimensional maps.
The technical specifications of the QPS-SAR satellites are worth examining in detail, as they form the backbone of Japan’s contribution to Ukraine. Each satellite operates in low Earth orbit, approximately 600 kilometers above the surface, and uses an X-band radar system to transmit and receive microwave signals.
