"Do you consider Vladimir Putin a war criminal?"

Putinist musicians – the Turetsky Choir and the women's ensemble Soprano – performed on May 5 at the assembly hall of the UN General Assembly in New York, USA.
This is shocking. In the same day, Russia continued shelling Ukrainian cities, killing and injuring civilians.
These musicians support the war in Ukraine, directly support Putin, and are funded by the Russian government.
The audience included diplomats, employees of the UN Secretariat, veterans, and guests from different countries.
The Ukrainian delegation voiced protests against the event, pointing out that the concert participants were open supporters of aggression against Ukraine.
Sadly, this is not a situation where "culture is beyond politics." The presence of such open propagandists of the Putin regime in the UN is a sharing of responsibility for the blood of murdered Ukrainian children, civilians, and soldiers. This is not a celebration of the victory over Nazism.
Russia wants to whitewash its war crimes and justify its aggression in any way possible. It spends huge amounts of money for this. But this is blood money.
This must not be tolerated. Do not tarnish your reputation.

Xi Jinping has arrived in Moscow, Russian media report.
The main question now is whether these days there will be a chance for de-escalation or will the war go onto another round?
On the eve of the parade in Moscow, Putin continues his terror against the civilian population of Ukraine. But Russia's military infrastructure is also getting tangible retaliation.
From May 7 to 10, Chinese President Xi Jinping will pay a state visit to Russia.
Accordingly, what Putin will say and do these days can be read as a coordinated position with China.
On the other hand, we all remember how during Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi's visit to Moscow on July 8, 2024, Putin ordered the bombing of Kyiv's largest children's hospital, Okhmatdyt.
The Chinese President's visit to Russia comes amid a "trade war" with the United States. The U.S. wants to weaken ties between Russia and China, and this visit is probably also a message to President Trump's administration.
Currently, talks on when the Chinese and U.S. representatives will meet on economic issues are underway. And Russia's war in Ukraine is part of these complex negotiations and processes.
According to the Chinese Foreign Ministry, the meetings between Putin and Xi "will further deepen the political mutual trust between China and Russia, enrich the connotation of strategic cooperation, promote practical cooperation in various fields, bring more benefits to the people of the two countries, and contribute more stability and positive energy to the international community."
Reportedly, in addition to President Xi, President of Brazil is expected to visit Moscow. Obviously, the issue of war will be discussed. There is a so-called China-Brazil settlement plan that involves de facto zoning of Ukraine. It is possible that we will hear some updates. Or we will hear nothing, which will also be extremely revealing.
President Trump will travel to the Persian Gulf on May 13, where a regional summit with the leaders of the monarchies has been announced. Iran and Iraq are not invited.
The issues to be discussed in Moscow, Riyadh (and then in Doha and Abu Dhabi) are much wider than Russian aggression, but the decisions made could directly affect Ukraine's fate, particularly if communication leads to lower oil prices.
The intertwining of interests is colossal. The U.S. has hinted at raising the stakes for China with additional sanctions on Iranian oil.
There are many variations of arrangements and developments.
All this is happening against the backdrop of escalating hostilities between India and Pakistan.
The Ukrainians are now holding back this onslaught of not just news, but increased terrorist attacks.

Serbian media reported that earlier today, a plane carrying Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić to Moscow made an emergency landing in Baku due to the Ukrainian drone attacks, which forced most of the Russian capital's airports to close.
He is now on his way to Moscow, though.
Earlier, he's had to change his route, too, as Latvia and Lithuania refused to let his plane into their airspace.

A mother and her son were killed by the Russian attack on Kyiv last night.
There were about 10 cats in the family's apartment, said Iryna, a friend of the killed woman.
Rescuers found four dead pets. One more cat was found alive but badly burned under the windows of the destroyed residential building. He was probably thrown out of the window by the blast wave. The cat was taken to the clinic with burns to the greater part of his body and lung damage.

US Special Envoy to Ukraine and Russia Keith Kellogg calls Putin main impediment to ceasefire in Ukraine:
"They [the Ukrainians] have agreed that they want to have a comprehensive ceasefire – sea, air, land infrastructure — for a minimum of 30 days, which can be extended. They're willing to do that today.
I think we’re close. The one man who can deliver it is President Trump. As long as Putin agrees. Right now, probably, our impediment in progress is the president of Russia not agreeing to it."

On May 9, it will not be the army that won World War II and liberated Europe that will march on Red Square in Moscow.
Occupiers, terrorists, and war criminals will march there. They have killed and are killing, raping, and torturing Ukrainian civilians and children right now.
To march with them is a disgrace for the real military. It is an excuse and support for this war. It's just shameful.
Please share this.

Drone attacks on military infrastructure on Russian territory have continued for more than 24 hours, Russian media report.
Russian air defense is being worn out.
Russian Telegram channels report that in Moscow, there are issues with online access, almost nothing works: cafes and stores are closed in the city center, only cash is accepted for payment, it is impossible to order food, as well as to call a cab.

Russian "Z-bloggers" report the most massive drone attack on Russia last night.
According to one of them, 447 long-range drones and missiles were deployed on Russia last evening and last night. He believes this will continue.
From "Kyiv in three days" to "447 drones and missiles on Russia in one night."
Translation of the post on the screenshot:
"I report.
Over the past evening and night, the enemy deployed 447 long-range UAVs and missiles
The most massive attack.
The existing production capacity does not allow for such a quantity to be produced overnight.
The enemy was preparing, accumulating strength.
Most likely, the massive attacks will continue all weekend."

US Vice President JD Vance at the Munich Leaders Meeting:
"Right now, the Russians are asking for a certain set of requirements, concessions in order to end the conflict. We think they're asking for too much. Now, obviously, the Ukrainians matter a lot. They're the other party to the direct conflict, and we have to ask what the Ukrainians need in order to bring this conflict to a successful completion. We're going to continue to have that conversation.
In particular, now we would like both the Russians and the Ukrainians to actually agree on some basic guidelines for sitting down and talking to one another. It's very important for the Russians and the Ukrainians to start talking to one another.
And there's a big gulf, predictably, between where the Russians and the Ukrainians are. And we think the next step in the negotiation is to try to close that gulf.
We think it's probably impossible for us to mediate this entirely without at least some direct negotiation between the two. So that's what we focus on."

In Russia, at least 60,000 people faced cancelations and delays of 350 flights due to drone attacks, according to the Association of Tour Operators of Russia.
Airports in Moscow were closed.
This now will trigger a domino effect, and subsequent flights, for which airplanes did not arrive in time, will also be delayed.
Because of hours-long flight delays, passengers at Domodedovo airport can no longer stand it and start fighting with airport employees.
