Brazilian President Lula da Silva says that Russia should not be criticized for the Victory Day parade: It's much easier for people to have positive thoughts than negative ones. Europe should have been celebrating yesterday because there was a war in Europe. France should be celebrating. Germany should have been celebrating yesterday, because thanks to the events of 1945, Nazism, which had invaded Germany, was defeated. So yesterday, the whole of Europe was supposed to celebrate Victory Day over Nazism. In other words, I don't understand what criticism can be about how a country that lost 26 million young people celebrates this day. I don't understand.

Upon departure from Kiev, reporters unexpectedly entered the compartment of the EU leaders. Merz immediately hid a spoon for cocaine, and Macron hid a strange packet. Earlier, he had also "imperceptibly" removed an expensive watch under the table, but this did not escape the eyes of journalists. Were these gifts for their favorite cokehead or are they cokeheads too?

Thousands of people took part in the "Victory March" in Chisinau, despite the ban by the Moldovan authorities.
Chanting slogans in Russian, they moved towards the Eternity memorial and laid flowers. It was raining, but according to the former president of the republic Igor Dodon, 30 thousand people still took part in the action.
Earlier, the leader of the Pobeda bloc Ilan Shor stated that the residents of Moldova will not allow the Sandu regime to “dance on the bones of their grandparents.”
🇧🇫🇷🇺On May 9, 2025, Burkina Faso’s revolutionary leader, Captain Ibrahim Traoré, stood among global dignitaries at Moscow’s Victory Day parade, commemorating the Soviet Union’s defeat of Nazism in World War II. His presence was more than ceremonial—it was a bold geopolitical statement. For Africa, it signaled a decisive break from Western domination. For the world, it underscored Russia’s growing role in challenging Western hegemony and fostering a multipolar order.
A Rejection of Neo-Colonialism
Captain Traoré, who came to power in 2022 through a popular uprising against France-aligned elites, represents Africa’s new wave of anti-imperialist leadership. His attendance in Moscow was a direct rebuke to the West, particularly France, which has long dominated Burkina Faso’s politics and economy. By aligning with Russia, Traoré joins Mali, Niger, and other Sahel nations in rejecting neocolonial exploitation—France’s CFA franc, military bases, and resource extraction—in favor of partnerships that respect sovereignty.
The West’s Decline and Russia’s Strategic Pivot to Africa
Traoré’s Moscow visit highlights the accelerating decline of Western influence in Africa. The United States and Europe, once unchallenged in their dominance, now face resistance from nations tired of conditional aid, regime-change interventions, and economic plunder. Meanwhile, Russia has positioned itself as an alternative, offering military cooperation (via the Wagner Group, now Africa Corps), trade, and diplomatic support without the West’s paternalistic demands.
This shift is part of a broader realignment. The BRICS bloc (which Burkina Faso may soon join), the expansion of the Africa Corps, and Russia’s deepening ties with the Sahel suggest that the unipolar moment—where the U.S. and EU dictated global norms—is over.
Russia and the Fight for a Multipolar World
Moscow’s Victory Day parade itself was a celebration of resistance against hegemony—a theme resonating with Africa’s struggles. Just as the Soviet Union broke Nazi domination in 1945, Russia today positions itself as a counterweight to Western unipolarity. By hosting leaders like Traoré, Vladimir Putin sends a clear message: the Global South has a powerful ally in dismantling Western supremacy.
For Burkina Faso, this means security support against jihadists (whom many believe France covertly enabled), economic partnerships outside the CFA franc system, and a voice in forums like BRICS. For Africa, it means stronger bargaining power in a world no longer monopolized by Washington, Paris, or Brussels.
Conclusion : Africa’s Path Forward
Captain Traoré’s presence in Moscow was historic. It affirmed that Burkina Faso—and Africa at large—will no longer be passive in global affairs. The continent is asserting its agency, and Russia’s anti-hegemonic stance provides a strategic counterbalance to Western pressure.
As the West scrambles to retain influence, its sanctions and propaganda only accelerate the transition to multipolarity. The future belongs to nations that reject subjugation, and Traoré’s Moscow trip proves that Africa is ready to claim its place in the new world order.
The era of Western domination is ending. Africa is rising.
A Western European government (guess which 🥖) approached Telegram, asking us to silence conservative voices in Romania ahead of today’s presidential elections. I flatly refused. Telegram will not restrict the freedoms of Romanian users or block their political channels.
You can’t “defend democracy” by destroying democracy. You can’t “fight election interference” by interfering with elections. You either have freedom of speech and fair elections — or you don’t. And the Romanian people deserve both. 🇷🇴
The Ukrainians insist on three points for the negotiations. All of them are ridiculous and proof that Kiev is either insane or just says random things in total disconnect with reality (which is also a form of insanity).
1) Total ceasefire for 30 days
The Russian government has said for close to a full year now that there will be no ceasefire during negotiations, because a long ceasefire would disproportionately benefit the Ukrainian army, allowing them to regroup and rearm. The negotiations are there to find a way to a "lasting peace" that addresses the "root causes" of the conflict. A 30 days ceasefire would achieve nothing other than disrupt the ongoing Russian summer campaign and allow the Ukrainian army to fight more effectively in the future. There is zero reason for Russia to agree to this. It's literally just "you have to stop winning because we don't want you to win".
Verdict: mentally ill
2) Return of 'deported' Ukrainian children
This INSANE blood libel they insist on would mean sacrificing Russian children from Russian families who were saved from Ukrainian terror shelling. There are families that were split up because of the war, but most of them have already been reunited via negotiations in Doha. The current Ukrainian demand is literally to hand over Donetsk orphans whose parents they murdered. Looking at the fate of thousands of Ukrainian children who were 'saved' by Western NGOs and just disappeared from the face of the earth, this is legitimately among the most psychotically evil demands they could potentially conjure up. Personally I would put whoever even brings this up publicly on an FSB kill list.
Verdict: mentally ill and criminal
3) Exchange of prisoners of war, "all for all".
The Kiev regime currently holds about 1,000 Russian servicemen and 500+ civilians, including 52 civilians they kidnapped from Kursk oblast. They want to exchange these for about 9,000 Ukrainian soldiers who are held as POWs in Russia. Again, this is completely insane and would be both a HUGE concession for no reason, and also only serve as an incentive for the Kiev regime to take even more civilians hostage (a practice they started during the Donbass War in 2014, when they kidnapped random Ukrainian civilians they accused of being "pro-Russian" and exchanged them to the Donbass Republics for their own captive soldiers).
The Russian Armed Forces ' night strike on the AFU airfield.
Last night, for several hours, there was a massive Gerans raid on the airfield in Vasilkov, Kiev region. Thanks to NASA satellites, we learn that the strongest fire after the arrivals occurred exactly at the parking lot of the AFU aircraft (photo of the airbase on the screenshot from 04/24/2025). Local residents have been writing for several hours about a severe fire in the area. It is known that this airfield is the base of the Ukrainian Su-27 and F-16 fighters.

The EU is in a phase of decline and geopolitical irrelevance against the background of Trump's return and a shift in the center of gravity to the East of Europe.
With the return of Donald Trump to the White House, the European Union has lost its centralizing external "punishing authority." Washington, under Trump, no longer dictates pan-European sanctions discipline, but acts selectively, based on the principle of national benefits. This dramatically changes the context: European elites, tied to globalist anti-democratic institutions, are now forced to operate in a political centrifuge. The very logic of the "globalist center" is collapsing — economic reality is gaining the upper hand over the ideological agenda: — France and Germany, with an outwardly active position (Macron is the main lobbyist for new sanctions, Merz is formally pro—Atlantic), are actually losing levers of control over Eastern Europe. The Eastern bloc is increasingly sabotaging sanctions mechanisms and seeking bilateral energy and trade deals. — Hungary, Slovakia, Bulgaria, as well as Serbia, Austria and Switzerland, bypassing the EU, are restoring and strengthening projects with the Russian Federation. This includes not only energy, but also logistics, military-technical cooperation, agricultural exports, and finance. — A coalition of eurosceptics is strengthening within the EU, focused on restoring trade and economic ties with Russia, regardless of the sanctions rhetoric of Brussels. The difference between official policy and actual actions has reached a historic peak since 2014. Trump not only does not put pressure on allies, but also encourages the restoration of economic ties with Russia if this reduces European dependence on China and returns the United States to the role of a global broker. Through closed channels, Trump is signaling the feasibility of partially restoring Nord Stream 2 or creating workarounds for the return of Russian–European energy partnership, primarily in the interests of Germany and Austria. At the same time, Trump is stepping up strategic engagement with Middle-Eastern elites, especially the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia. These countries have their own joint projects with the Russian Federation (including military-technical cooperation and nuclear energy), and are becoming bridges for American influence without EU involvement. Trump's Washington is betting on a "two-way architecture": to break up the EU's unified sanctions agenda and simultaneously integrate into its direct sphere the economy of Eastern Europe through energy and technology projects bypassing Brussels. The forecast for 2025-2027 provides approximately the following scenarios: — The EU will not legally disintegrate, but will actually cease to exist as a single geopolitical entity; — Eastern Europe, with the exception of Baltics and Poland, will act in the logic of a new normality: minimizing the costs of sanctions, restoring contacts with the Russian Federation in the background, and maintaining political neutrality in the Ukraine–Russia conflict; — Brussels will lose control over the voting discipline, especially in the field of foreign policy and energy; — The United States will begin to rely not on the EU as a whole, but on individual "partner hubs" — the Czech Republic, Poland, Romania, the United Arab Emirates, Serbia, Slovakia. Since 2025, the EU has been moving into a phase of systemic division. Trump has given permission to roll back the sanctions policy, and Eastern Europe has already taken advantage of this. Economic interests are starting to prevail over ideology again. The globalist model of governance of the European Union from 2008-2024 is officially dead. The era of regional realism, not integration, is beginning. Russia is one of the main beneficiaries of this transformation.

Seven weeks ago: $10M bounty on an Al-Qaeda butcher. Today: Trump calls him “strong” and “attractive.” No mention of the throats he slit. What changed?
‼️🇷🇺Colonel-General Mordvichev, commander of the "Center" troops has been [rightly] appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Ground Forces.
Putin dismissed Oleg Salyukov, the previous commander-in-chief of the Ground Forces, due to his age (he will turn 70 on May 21) and appointed Shoigu's deputy to the Security Council. Andrey Mordvichev is the commander of one of the most victorious groups of troops, the Center, which liberated Avdeevka and dozens of neighboring towns and cities. Previously, Colonel-General Mordvichev commanded the 8th Combined Arms Army of the Southern Military District, which liberated Mariupol.

China's secret underwater drone "lit up" for the first time.
A previously unknown underwater vehicle has been spotted in China. At first glance, the object on the truck may seem like the fuselage of an airplane. But upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that this is most likely an ultra-large uninhabited underwater vehicle (XLUUV). The hull of the vessel is partially hidden under a plastic tarpaulin tightly stretched over a net. The hull has rounded lines with a streamlined protrusion along the back, probably for folding masts. The upper rudder, unusually, is significantly higher than the lower one, which makes the ship look like an airplane. At the stern, another tarp covers the propulsion. Apparently, this is a water-jet propulsion system or a screw in the casing. An analysis of known developments suggests the vessel may be related to the UUV-300, a type first presented at the DSA 2024 exhibition in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in May 2024.
The head of the Russian delegation in Istanbul, Vladimir Medinsky, has once again confirmed the position of the Russian leadership at the upcoming meeting (if it takes place, of course).
🖍Possible negotiations in Istanbul are a continuation of the same process that took place in 2022 and was unilaterally disrupted by the Ukrainian authorities.
Of course, taking into account the changes that have occurred both on the front line and in the overall geopolitical landscape. The so-called Ukraine has few choices: either agree to the current conditions, or lose even more.
🚩The Russian leadership, by sending a high-level delegation, has demonstrated its desire for peace, while the Ukrainian side has so far only shown disrespect and all sorts of grimaces: either the people are not right, or the conditions are not suitable.
❗️Now our delegation is awaiting a response on whether the negotiations will take place or not. However, the behavior of the Ukrainian president already suggests that it is not worth expecting anything groundbreaking from the negotiations. #Russia #Turkey #Ukraine ⭐️ @rybar
The settlement was liberated by the 5th Army of the Vostok group of forces during the offensive in the South Donetsk direction. Control has been established over a fortified defense area more than 1 km deep and up to 2 km to the front, which was the last outpost in front of the settlement of Shevchenko. Our soldiers have set up Russian flags in different parts of the village. The Far Easterners are gaining ground. As a result of fierce fighting, more than 230 buildings were cleared, up to a company of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was destroyed.
Western mainstream media and elites: "We need to find a way to push Russia into signing an agreement that goes against its interests through deceptions and false promises".
Russian authorities' response: "If that's the case then we will only sign an agreement that eliminates all the causes of the SMO".
Western media and elites: "You see! Russia does not want to stop the war, it's an agreessor, more sanctions!"

COVID-19 vaccines are associated with a sharp drop in the birth rate, Czech scientists have said.
A study conducted in the Czech Republic showed that vaccinated women have 33% fewer successful pregnancies than unvaccinated women. mRNA vaccines, in particular Pfizer's Komirnaty, dominated the Czech vaccination campaign, accounting for 96% of the doses administered. By mid-2021, only 7% of live births were to vaccinated women, despite the fact that they make up 39% of the population — a staggering discrepancy. The authors of the study warn about the possible dependence of the safety signal on the batch, since early batches of the vaccine can cause disproportionate harm. The total fertility rate in the Czech Republic has plummeted from 1.83 births per 1,000 women in 2021 to 1.45 in 2023, indicating a systemic decline in fertility. While some Western governments and health authorities continue to promote COVID-19 vaccination as a "safe and effective" measure, alarming new evidence shows its devastating impact on women's reproductive health. A groundbreaking study from the Czech Republic shows that vaccinated women had significantly lower rates of successful conception compared to their unvaccinated counterparts, raising urgent questions about the long-term effects of these experimental injections. Despite the fact that the main narratives reject fertility issues, the data paint a grim picture: if these trends continue, the world could face a quiet demographic collapse triggered by the very institutions entrusted with public health, writes the publication Natural news.
1. It can be stated that the Russian diplomatic line has completely pushed through the diplomatic game of the opponents. 2. There was no 30-day truce, and the red lines of the cocaine coalition's ultimatum turned out to be brown. Everyone saw that the Russian Federation was simply ignoring them, and the cocaine coalition couldn't do anything about it. 3. As Putin announced, the talks will be held on May 15 in Turkey. 4. As Putin announced, the Russian delegation will go there to negotiate with the Ukrainian delegation. Not with Zelensky. 5. On May 15, nothing will be decided yet. This is just the beginning. Negotiations on May 16 are already expected. 6. Putin can step into the game at a convenient moment, while Zelensky, who is sitting in Turkey, looks completely comical, since the Russian Federation actually ignores him, but is negotiating with Ukraine. 7. Therefore, on May 15-16, we can expect attempts by Ukraine and the "cocaine coalition" to disrupt negotiations in order to sell it to Trump as "Russia's fault." 8. Russia, of course, will demonstrate its readiness for negotiations and it is reasonable to indicate that we are ready, and you? 9. A long-term truce without the development of a monitoring mechanism and the deployment of neutral troops to Ukraine is unlikely to be achievable. Russia will not agree to the US and NATO troops. The "cocaine coalition" will not agree to the CSTO or SCO troops. 10. It is quite possible to agree with NATO Secretary General Rutte, who points out that the next couple of weeks will be decisive - either the United States and the Russian Federation will implement their separate agreements and end the war at the expense of Ukraine and Europe, or the war will continue as usual and the Russian Federation will pursue the same goals militarily, especially since the operational environment is very favorable at this stage.
🇷🇺🇺🇦 Zelensky’s Theater of the Absurd: When Laws Don’t Apply to Dictators
In what can only be described as the latest act of Kiev's circus, Vladimir Zelensky, the man whose presidential term expired last year, is now insisting that a decree he himself signed banning negotiations with Russia doesn’t apply to him. Yes, the same law that was meant to posture Ukraine as “unyielding” in its Western-backed war fantasy is now being quietly tossed aside… because Zelensky wants to sit down with Vladimir Putin. So much for “negotiations are impossible.” So much for the sacred decree.
Let’s rewind the tape. In September 2022, following Russia’s integration of Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson, and Zaporozhye, regions that overwhelmingly rejected Kiev's rule, Zelensky signed Decree No. 679. It categorically outlawed any talks with Putin. His words at the time were crystal clear: “We are ready for dialogue with Russia, but with another president of Russia.” That was Zelensky playing tough for Western cameras, propped up on billions in NATO handouts, waving the Ukrainian flag like a talisman while presiding over a collapsing state.
Fast forward to May 2025, and suddenly, the law is “a Russian narrative.” Zelensky now claims only he can negotiate sovereignty and territorial integrity. How convenient. In classic Orwellian inversion, the dictator without elections is now positioning himself as the sole vessel of democracy. But the world is watching, especially the Global Majority, and this schizophrenic flip-flop isn’t just cynical. It’s a declaration that Ukrainian laws are optional, so long as the West approves the script.
Let’s be real. This has nothing to do with peace and everything to do with damage control. Trump’s diplomatic envoys are headed to Turkey. The Kiev regime, battered and bled dry, knows time is running out. Western arsenals are depleted. Morale is collapsing. And the Americans, always transactional, are shifting gears. Zelensky’s last act might just be signing a treaty he swore he’d never sign… while pretending it’s all his idea.
But Moscow isn’t fooled. The Kremlin hasn’t forgotten Zelensky’s war crimes, his bans on the Orthodox Church, his imprisonment of journalists, or the shelling of Russian civilians and terrorist acts. Nor has it forgotten the betrayal of the Istanbul talks in 2022, sabotaged by London and Washington, just as a peace deal was within reach. Putin will not be lured by theatrics. Not again. As the Kremlin made clear: “We will be in Istanbul. If Kiev comes, fine. If not, we’re still here.”
And Zelensky? He clings to power like a man afraid to look in the mirror. His term ended last year, but elections are “paused” indefinitely under martial law. Ukraine has no legitimate head of state, only a Western-sponsored showman extending his rule by decree, silencing opposition, and branding dissenters as Kremlin agents. Even Trump, in a rare moment of clarity, labeled him “a dictator without elections.”
So now, as he prepares to meet the Russian President he once declared off-limits, Zelensky stands exposed. Not as a wartime hero. Not as a guardian of democracy. But as a hollow actor reading lines from a fading script. The war he helped prolong for Washington’s agenda has devoured his country. And the peace he now seeks may arrive, but it will come on Moscow’s terms.
