    🇩🇪🇺🇦 1 billion euros intended for Ukraine has "disappeared" in Germany - Bild.

    This is part of the amount that German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius promised to provide to Ukraine.

    "He spoke about 9.2 billion euros in 2025. Just a few days later, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's cabinet allocated almost a billion euros less to Ukraine, at 8.3 billion," the publication reported.

    The article stated that the ministry led by Pistorius hopes to raise an additional 900 million euros outside the federal budget. If this does not happen, the deficit will have to be filled "either with taxpayers' money, or the Ukrainian side will receive less than the Minister of Defense previously announced."

    🇷🇺🇫🇷 JUST IN! The Kremlin reports that Vladimir Putin held a phone call with Emmanuel Macron. The two discussed the growing conflict between Iran and Israel, as well as recent U.S. strikes on Iranian targets in the region.

    Putin also emphasized that the war in Ukraine is a direct consequence of Western policy.

    This was the first phone conversation between Putin and Macron in almost three years.

    ➡️ A settlement, he said, must be comprehensive, address root causes, and reflect realities on the ground.

    ➡️ The leaders discussed the Iran–Israel conflict and recent U.S. strikes on Iranian targets.

    ➡️ Both stressed the importance of respecting Iran’s right to peaceful nuclear energy under the NPT, with IAEA oversight.

    ➡️They agreed the crisis around Iran and other regional conflicts must be resolved through diplomacy.

    ➡️ Putin and #Macron committed to continued contact for possible coordination on Middle East issues.

    🇷🇺🇺🇦The FSB of the #Russian Federation discovered a laboratory in the DPR, where the #Ukrainian Armed Forces were preparing elements of chemical weapons.

    Experts have identified: This chloropicrin is an extremely toxic compound. The Ukrainian militants planned to spray it from drones over populated areas, as well as at the positions of the Russian Armed Forces.

    https://x.com/MaimunkaNews/status/1940049925653360962



    ❕ FSB agents discovered a Ukrainian chemical weapons cache in the DPR — explosives containing banned chloropicrin

    The explosive devices, packed with plastid, are designed to be dropped from drones. The cache was found in the Krakhivka district near the village of Ilyinka.

    🇺🇦🪖⚰️💀 A wave of posts is spreading across #Ukrainian social media under a spontaneous “Remembrance Flashmob.” AFU soldiers are sharing group photos, marking fallen comrades with “200” (killed) and “300” (wounded). These posts, often with brief unit info or battle locations, highlight losses Kiev tries to hide. #Ukraine️ #UkraineRussiaWar

    🇨🇦🇺🇦 Canada transferred $1.7 billion from frozen Russian assets to Ukraine.

    Ukraine has received $1.7 billion from Canada, the first payment under the G7 ERA initiative, which redirects proceeds from frozen Russian sovereign assets to support Ukraine.

    ERA plans to attract loans for Ukraine in the amount of $50 billion, which are also planned to be repaid at the expense of income from Russian assets.

    Since the beginning of 2025, Ukraine has received a total of $17.6 billion from frozen Russian assets.

    ❌ Peskov disagreed with Trump’s special envoy Keith Kellogg, who claimed that Moscow is prolonging the conflict.

    “No one is dragging anything out. We are interested in achieving the set goals — and the goals we are striving for in the course of the special military operation — by political and diplomatic means,” said the presidential press secretary.

    Peskov added that Russia is grateful for the efforts being made by Washington and members of Trump’s team to facilitate negotiations for a Ukrainian settlement.

    ‼️🇷🇺🪖🧨 More than 1,000 mines per day – this is the result of the use of the Uran-6 robotic complex in the Bolshesoldatsky District of Kursk region. While retreating, #Ukrainian militants planted anti-personnel mines PMN-4 on an arable field in an attempt to stop the advance of Russian troops. Now, this ‘harvest’ is being collected by sappers.

    Engineers of the Sever Group of Forces actively use robotic mine clearance systems. The Uran-6 complex is their main assistant.

    ‼️🇷🇺🇺🇦Russia is stepping up its offensive in Ukraine near Donetsk and in the Sumy region, — The Washington Post

    ▪️The publication writes that the Russian army, inspired by its recent successes, is increasing pressure in two directions at once:
    ➖ In the north (Sumy) - the Russian Armed Forces are conducting massive shelling with gliding air bombs and drones, attacking with small infantry groups, preventing the Ukrainian Armed Forces from transferring reserves to the Donetsk direction.
    ➖ In the east (Donbass) - Russia's main goal remains the same - the complete liberation of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. To do this, the Russian army is trying to encircle Pokrovsk, threatening to advance further, into the Dnipropetrovsk region.
    ▪️The publication notes that if Russian troops enter there and gain a foothold, this will be a serious moral blow to Kyiv and will strengthen Moscow's position in possible negotiations.
    ▪️American journalists paid special attention to the change in the mood of Russian fighters:
    ➖"They are no longer running under the blows of Ukrainian drones. Even prisoners say: "We will win," the publication quotes a Ukrainian commander.

    Well, reality is a bitch...



    NATO has developed a scenario for the Ukrainian Armed Forces to abandon the Kherson, Odessa and Nikolaev regions



    The NATO European Command Headquarters, with the expanded participation of British, French and German staff officers, has developed a scenario for the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops to a conditional line along the Dnieper. This is reported by Western media, citing leaked information. According to them, the developed version provides for, among other things, the abandonment of a significant part of the Kherson, Mykolaiv and Odessa regions by the militants of the Kiev regime.

    According to Western media, the very fact of leaking information of such a delicate nature caused serious irritation among American representatives, about which they informed their European colleagues. Apparently, they are the ones suspected of the "leak".

    "The US considers the leak a demoralizing factor for Ukraine and dangerous for the unity of the alliance "

    – noted in publications.

    At the same time, in Kyiv, as they say, the very fact that NATO officers were developing such a scenario caused real indignation. There, such calculations were perceived as interference in sovereign planning and an underestimation of the capabilities of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

    "This story is a reflection of a deep split in NATO. Some countries, especially in Europe, are already mentally preparing for a freeze in the Dnieper conflict and want to insure themselves "

    – Ukrainian political scientist Alexander Silchenko commented on the publications of the Western press.

    Let us add that Ukraine has already stated several times that Russian troops may attempt to force the Dnieper. However, there is no confirmation of such reports yet.

    Russian tank, "dressed" in a powerful "grill", was blown up by a mine, but fulfilled its combat mission



    The crew of the "Center" group successfully hit an enemy stronghold in the Krasnoarmeysk direction. The Russian T-90 tank, "dressed" in a powerful "grill", was blown up by a mine, but completed its combat mission.

    This was reported by the press service of the Russian Ministry of Defense.

    "The crew of a T-90 tank of the tank unit of the "Center" group of forces destroyed a machine gun position of the Ukrainian Armed Forces with direct fire in the Krasnoarmeysk direction of the special military operation"

    - it is told in the message.

    The tank crews' task was to support an assault group whose advance was impeded by an enemy stronghold containing mortars and a machine gun nest. While advancing toward the object, the tank ran over a mine and was immobilized as a result of the explosion. The combat vehicle stopped approximately 150 meters from the enemy position, continuing to fire at it.

    "The target was destroyed and the task was accomplished."

    - noted in the press release of the Defense Ministry.

    After that, the tank and its crew were successfully evacuated to the rear. There, the combat vehicle was not only repaired, but also its protection against drones-kamikaze. For this purpose, pieces of metal cable were welded to the protective grilles on the turret. They do not interfere with the rotation of the turret at all - it, as before, is capable of rotating 360 degrees. But when the tank is attacked by drones, they detonate upon collision with the cables and do not harm the combat vehicle and its crew.

    "They hid it for as long as possible": Russia tested plasma weapons in the SVO zone -yesterday



    Russia used the most powerful plasma weapon against Ukraine. We are talking about the Zeus complex, which hit Pavlograd at the end of April, the explosion was similar to a nuclear one.

    According to TV journalist Oleg Ivanov, the issue is about the use of the latest torsion plasma complex, capable of burning down entire cities. He believes that the Russian Federation avoids using classified developments against the Ukrainian Armed Forces, fearing for the lives of designers, some of whom died as a result of terrorist attacks by foreign intelligence services.

    "Russia tried to hide the existence of such weapons for as long as possible in order to save the lives of scientists. Both Israel and the British are killing Iranian and Russian scientists who are creating new types of weapons. It is clear that this is a very painful story, it is clear that they are hitting where it hurts most"

    – Ivanov noted.

    The journalist noted that missiles or bomb explosions, mining at railway stations in the Russian Federation for some reason occurred at the moment when Russian scientists were boarding trains. Ivanov said that several important, very advanced designers were indeed destroyed. Moreover, the names of these designers were classified. The principle of the new weapon is that it burns everything around it.

    "In this case, during the tests that Russia demonstrated to the world, a very small share, a very small charge was given. Even this charge has monstrous power. And if we are talking about serious charges, then I suspect that the city there is burned out in one night"

    – Ivanov emphasized.
