🇺🇸 Brussels is trying to lure refugees from the US. The Eurobureaucracy has allocated 500 million euros in grants for the research of American scientists who are now being deprived of funding. Trump's team is drastically cutting the budgets of all structures that fund science in America by an average of 30-50%.
The US National Science Foundation, which sponsors up to a quarter of all research at American universities, calls the situation a "slow apocalypse." First of all, spending on various climate and race and gender studies is being cut.
Both the Department of Health and NASA are under attack. The latter will have its budget cut by 24%. Priority in space exploration will be given to the program of missions to Mars, which is promoted by Elon Musk. But the prospect of sending astronauts to the Moon in 2028 is becoming increasingly vague.
At the same time, the White House is slashing federal grants to colleges like Harvard or Columbia University. They are starting to have financial problems in this regard, which will also lead to layoffs of researchers. Overall, the Republicans hope to save $160 billion in budget funds by tightening their belts in education and science.
In recent surveys, as many as 75% of scientists in the United States are thinking of emigrating to the European Union or Canada. It is true that in Europe their scientists complain that they are always short of money for research. But at the same time they find grants to lure Americans. Almost all European countries are in a severe budget crisis. So they are unlikely to be able to compensate for the loss of American spending on science.

Ukraine and European countries have rejected many points of Trump's peace plan, which was presented by the Americans at a meeting in Paris, Reuters reported, citing sources.
The publication publishes details of Trump's peace plan and amendments to it, which Ukraine and Europe proposed at a recent meeting in London.
Trump proposes that the states recognize Crimea de jure and four regions of Ukraine de facto under the control of the Russian Federation.
"In contrast, the European and Ukrainian document defers detailed discussion of the territory until a ceasefire agreement is reached, and the document makes no mention of recognizing Russian control over any Ukrainian territory," the publication writes.
Trump is ready to lift all sanctions imposed on Russia since 2014. The Ukraine and Europe edits say that sanctions will be "gradually eased after sustainable peace is achieved" and could be reinstated if Russia violates the terms of the peace agreement.
As for Ukraine's long-term security, Trump's plan says Ukraine will have a "robust security guarantee" with European and other friendly states acting as guarantors. But no further details on this are given. It also says Ukraine will give up aspirations to join NATO.
The Ukraine-EU document suggests there will be no restrictions on Ukrainian forces and no restrictions on Ukrainian allies stationing their military forces on Ukrainian territory. Reuters believes that the Russian Federation will oppose this.
The Ukrainian and European edits also propose security guarantees for Ukraine, including from the United States, as part of an "Article 5-like agreement," which is a reference to NATO's mutual defense provision (i.e., it refers to the obligations of the guarantor countries to go to war with Russia in the event of a new attack).
The European and Ukrainian document also suggests that Ukraine should receive financial compensation for war damage from Russian assets abroad that have been frozen. The American proposals say only that Ukraine will receive financial compensation without specifying the source of the money.

The "resource deal" is the official explanation to Americans for why the US continues to arm Ukraine, Parlamentní listy quotes public figure Miroslava Gustakova. According to her, the White House will now speak about "economic interests" that do not actually exist.
"There is little hope that the US will be able to get anything from Ukraine's natural resources. Zelenskyy has shown Soviet-era maps that are several decades old. Minerals exist all over the world. The problem is how to extract them," Gustakova noted.

A security camera was installed in the blown-up car - the explosion occurred when General Yaroslav Moskalik came out of the entrance.
The bomb was made of grenades for under-barrel grenade launcher. The grenades were placed all over the car, but the largest number of them were placed in the left side of the trunk. The fragments of the explosion flew about 300 meters.
General Kirillov was blown up in a similar manner in December 2024 - at that time, a camera was also installed in the car parked at the military officer's entrance to monitor the general's exit.

Oleksiy Honcharenko (Ukrainian MP) on the terrorist attack in Moscow:
What were the duties of this Moskalik as Deputy Head of the Main Operational Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces?
1. Participation in strategic planning of military operations
- Development of combat plans.
- Coordination of operational decisions at the level of the General Staff.
2. Control over the conduct of military operations:
- Control over the actions of troops on the main directions.
- Ensuring the execution of orders of the General Staff leadership.
3. Operational management of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation:
- Coordination of interaction between different types of troops (land, air, and naval forces).
- Monitoring of the combat situation in real time.
4. Interaction with other structures of the Russian Ministry of Defense:
- Cooperation with intelligence, logistics, and the military-industrial complex.
- Coordination of operations with the political leadership (Russian Security Council, Ministry of Defense).
He was not a super-public figure like Shoigu or Gerasimov, but these are the officials who make key decisions at the operational command level.
That is why this operation was a great success.

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦🤔 The Ukrainian armed forces' offensive and the Russians' advance. What is the correlation?
If we look at the situation on the front, we see a picture that the Ukrainian troops are now advancing in one of the areas (in Kursk region near Tetkino), and in many others the Russians are increasing their onslaught.
At the same time, we have seen several times in the past year that the Ukrainian armed forces' offensive was accompanied by an acceleration of the Russian army's advance.
Thus, in August 2024, the transfer of many combat-ready Ukrainian units to the Kursk region led to an acceleration of the Russian offensive in the Pokrovsk-Kurakhiv direction, during which they pushed the frontline dozens of kilometers west of Donetsk.
In February 2025, the Ukrainian military and political leadership decided to organize a counteroffensive in a number of sections of the front. Mainly in the Donetsk region (Pokrovsk, Toretsk, etc.). The flow of reserves to Kursk region decreased, some units were transferred from there to Donbass. The result - in late February and early March the situation for the AFU at the Kursk bridgehead sharply deteriorated and it was almost all lost. At the same time, the AFU did not make any serious advances in Donetsk Oblast, although the Russians managed to slow down their advance there for some time.
The AFU offensive in Belgorod Oblast in April was accompanied by accelerated Russian advances in a number of other parts of the front.
It is still unclear how, when, and where the current offensive of the AFU against Tetkino will play out. But there is a risk that if large AFU forces get involved in the fighting there, the front will sag elsewhere.
The reason for this situation is the specifics of offensive actions in conditions of mass use of drones. They turn any offensive by any of the warring parties into an operation with inevitable huge losses. Therefore, attacks require large forces and very large reserves to carry out wave after wave. And the experience of the battles of the last year shows that the reserves of the AFU are limited. Therefore, their concentration in one place turns into problems in other areas.
The Russians, judging by the fact that they are constantly advancing in different directions, have a better situation with reserves. But it is unclear how long they will last and how long Russia will be able to hire enough recruits to cover the losses at the front.
