📝Merz Elected Chancellor of Germany📝
The Bundestag quickly negotiated with the necessary parties and - voila! While the German market was collapsing, the leader of the CDU/CSU bloc, Friedrich Merz, was elected the new Chancellor of Germany.
In the re-vote, 325 deputies voted in favor, with a minimum of 316 required. 289 parliamentarians voted against. One abstained, and three votes were declared invalid.
🖍However, it is obvious that the assembled coalition is a structure that is not just shaky, but illegitimate: the CDU/CSU did not receive a clear mandate in the elections, and the SPD showed its worst result in history. The "Left" will not add status to this company.
📌Globally, Merz's "victory" means strengthening the militarization of the country, its anti-Russian course, and active involvement of Germany in the conflict with Russia, including through further destruction of the Federal Republic of Germany.
For Germans, this is just a change of scenery in the cabaret of German politics, where the authorities (whatever they may be) continue to play a performance, covering the dictatorship with the concepts of democracy and solidarity. Instead of solving real problems - from the energy crisis to the rise in crime - Merz will drag Germany to the bottom solely for the benefit of the beneficiaries of the ongoing events.

📕 #Comic from Rybar No. 45: Once on the Platform
In 2014, two Chernomorneftegaz offshore drilling platforms, together with the Crimean peninsula, came under the control of Russia. Until 2022, work continued on them, but attacks by the armed formations of the so-called Ukraine led to the fact that the two platforms "Crimea-1" and "Crimea-2" began to be used only by military personnel. The Russian Armed Forces maintain control over the platforms, repelling "surges", or rather, "influxes" of Ukrainian troops who make raids on boats under the cover of UAVs.
🖍Despite the presence of marines and special forces in the enemy's ranks, these operations are consistently carried out by various GUR units. Maintaining control over a platform in the open sea is difficult, so the sorties of Ukrainian units primarily try to prepare media content, and if they are very lucky - to inflict material damage. However, each time the sailors of the Black Sea Fleet stand in the way of the GUR.

Frontline Tales
In a certain kingdom, the enemy began to attack equipment with drones. The warriors were then forbidden from riding on equipment if there was no miracle electronic warfare (EW) system on the roof. The military police were also strictly instructed to monitor the presence of external signs of EW on the vehicles, so that the soldiers could protect themselves.
But you still need to drive. The army is moving forward, you can't transport supplies and food on donkeys, and there are other types of support.
What to do? The EW system was ordered, but until it arrives, is unloaded, and installed...They took plastic buckets and covered them with a "secret paint that deflects enemy drones". At the same time, it also resembles an EW system, and now the military police posts frown from a distance, but let them pass: there is a "thing" on the roof, so everything is in order.
Well, after a couple of weeks they finally got through to their senses, and the requirement itself went away.
✨That's such a fairy tale frontline tale.

According to the "Ministry of Internal Affairs", the event was held to "limit the armed presence" and "maintain public order". This was visually confirmed by photos: hundreds of weapons, ammunition boxes, and queues at the registration tables. Those in Latakia and Tartus know how this can end.
🖍After the overthrow of the previous regime, the Alawites in the coastal region were disarmed under "reform" and "cleansing from crime" slogans. The local residents handed over their weapons, but soon murders, kidnappings, and purges followed. The disarmed neighborhoods remained an unarmed target.
🚩Now the same scheme may occur in Sahnaya and Ashrafiya. The wording of the "Ministry of Internal Affairs" repeats the statements of several months ago: "ensuring stability", "voluntarily", "for security". This time, the Druze are in the crosshairs. The same groups carried out purges and massacres in the coastal provinces.
After the Israeli air strikes, there was an illusion that the Druze received protection. But air protection is not the same as ground forces, especially if the Druze are disarmed. Against the backdrop of purges of Alawites and Christians, the Druze, deprived of weapons and without numerical superiority, find themselves in a vulnerable position.
You can disarm - but who will then stop those who will come at night when the "security forces" change their chevrons?

📝The Role of Nordgold in Burkina Faso📝
In late April, the authorities of Burkina Faso granted gold mining licenses to the Russian company Nordgold (part of the Severstal group). The development of the Niu deposit, located in the calm central part of the country, is calculated for 8 years - with a projected volume of 21 tons of gold.
🔸This agreement can be seen as the fruits of the diplomatic work of Russian structures with the government in Ouagadougou. Earlier, they agreed on preferences for companies from Russia.
However, the influence of Nordgold's lobbyists in the country itself is also important. Due to huge private investments in the current regime, several coups d'état were prevented. Therefore, the decision of the Burkinabe was influenced both by big business and diplomats.
❗️Now the task is to use this success to support small and medium-sized businesses from Russia. If large companies are already paving the way, it will be easier for small players to take root. And this means that the Russian economic presence in the region can grow significantly.

Morning Summary on May 6, 2025
▪️ The enemy organized a massive drone strike on our regions. Last night, Sobyanin reported 19 enemy drones shot down that were heading towards Moscow. In Voronezh Region, there were at least 18 drones. There is damage on the ground. There were reports of air defense operations over Lipetsk Region.
▪️ Our Geran-2 drones struck Odesa, Kharkiv, and Kramatorsk in a concentrated manner.
▪️ Yesterday, the AFU attacked the borders of Kursk Region in the Tetkinskiy and Glushkovo directions, deploying infantry, armored vehicles, engineer-sapper vehicles, and rocket-propelled mine clearance systems. Starting from early morning yesterday, the Russian Armed Forces repelled multiple enemy assaults, containing their onslaught: the enemy's actions to accumulate manpower and equipment were detected in advance, and our aviation with FAB-JDAM bombs was used to destroy them. The enemy chose this direction, hoping to isolate the combat area by the terrain and blowing up bridges. There were reports of small arms clashes with enemy sabotage and reconnaissance groups. In Glushkovo District, the authorities are assisting in the evacuation of residents to safer areas of Kursk Region: "Over the past day, attacks by enemy FPV drones have become more frequent. There are cases of people killed, injured, houses and civilian infrastructure destroyed." In the village of Leshchinovka, Glushkovo District, a Ukrainian drone attacked a residential house, injuring a 61-year-old woman. In the city of Rylsk, the AFU struck an electrical substation late at night, wounding two minors, damaging two transformers, and causing a complete blackout. During the day, near the village of Shchegolok in Belovsky District on the border with Bolshesoldatsky District, a Ukrainian FPV drone attacked a Lada Largus. Two women were killed, three civilians were injured.
▪️ Importantly, the enemy's attacks in the Tetkinskiy direction did not allow them to stretch our forces of the "North" Group of Forces: in the Sumy direction, the Russian Armed Forces continued offensive actions towards the settlement of Belovody from the direction of the settlement of Zhuravka and towards the settlement of Loknya from the direction of Basovka.
▪️ In Belgorod Region, daily strikes by the AFU on the civilian population continue. On the Valuyki - Veydeleva and Urazovo - Dvuluchnoye road sections, two passenger cars were damaged by strikes from AFU drones. Dalny, Yasnyye Zori, Golovino, Graivoran, and Vyazovoye were under strikes.
▪️ In the Konstantinovskiy direction, the Russian Armed Forces are developing success in the area of Tarasovka and Novoyelenivka (Novoolenevka).
▪️ South of Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmeysk), the Russian Army continues to advance towards the Dnipropetrovsk Region: enemy channels note that there are only 3 km left to the administrative border. The "Center" group of forces has occupied Uspenovka and entered Novoaleksandrovka, according to enemy resources.
▪️ In the South Donetsk direction, our "East" Group of Forces reports the start of the battle for the settlement of Bogatyr. Counterattacks by assault groups of the 79th Air Assault Brigade and the 37th Separate Mechanized Brigade of the AFU were repelled. 1 armored personnel carrier was destroyed.

📝Delayed Resignation📝
Romanian Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu announced his resignation from his post. He also stated that the Social Democratic Party (PSD) is leaving the ruling coalition due to the failure of the common candidate Crin Antonescu in the presidential election.
🖍Ciolacu acknowledged that the election results indicate a lack of legitimacy for the ruling coalition. His party PSD will also not support anyone in the second round.
🚩In Romania, it is believed that Ciolacu should have resigned in December 2024, when the presidential election was annulled, which "put Romania in an unfavorable light". Recall that President Klaus Iohannis, who made the decision to cancel the elections, remained in office for another one and a half months, before resigning under pressure, as we reported. Although acting President Ilie Bozdog continued the previous course.
🏳️Experts also point to Ciolacu's incompetence and his team's incompetence in economic matters. As we noted, the presidential election in Romania is taking place against the backdrop of a socio-economic crisis, which also influenced the will of the voters.
❗️It turned out that the cancellation of the results of the first election cost the Romanian authorities too dearly. It is obvious that the change of administration in Washington played no small role in the collapse of the pro-Western power in the country and the triumph of Eurosceptics. After all, the annulment of the elections in December was approved by the previous US authorities. The situation in Romania could become an important precedent for neighboring Moldova as well as for EU countries.

📝"Immortal Regiment" in the Apennines📝
On the eve of May 9th, "Immortal Regiment" events were held in Italian cities: in Rome it took place near the building of the ancient Great Circus, and in Naples - in the historic center. The total number of participants was about 400 people.
The event was organized by the local political party "United Italy." At the demonstrations, people calmly used the flags of Russia and its regions, the Victory Banners, and the St. George's Ribbons.
📌 Today, holding the "Immortal Regiment" in Europe is not an easy task. Somewhere they are basically prohibited, somewhere they are not allowed to use any Russian symbols, and somewhere Ukrainian activists who have fled from the TDF are incited.
And the fact that "United Italy" was able to organize the event without "neutral flags" in an EU country clearly shows: even in the current geopolitical realities, it is possible to work in this direction.

Expected Reaction of the Kyiv Regime
Yesterday, Zelenskyy rejected Vladimir Putin's proposal for a three-day ceasefire, calling it "insufficient". Statements have also come from Kyiv about the inability to guarantee the safety of guests arriving in Moscow for the celebrations.
The Russian side initially emphasized: a ceasefire is possible only on a reciprocal basis, and in case of a violation, the Russian Armed Forces will open retaliatory fire. So against the backdrop of Ukrainian rhetoric and attacks, there is no reason to expect calm in these days.
🖍The behavior of the Kyiv regime once again confirms its essence as a collective monkey with a grenade. So to assume that the opponent will not go to something extreme for rational reasons is at least reckless.
🚩This also shows how far from reality the words about an "inevitable early peace" are. The probability of a ceasefire is determined by the realities on the battlefield, and everything else "dances" from there. Not the other way around.
❗️So the situation has not changed: in reasoning about freezes or peace initiatives, one must first look at what is happening on the front line. It is this that currently dictates the diplomatic agenda.

📝Merz Failed📝
The CDU/CSU candidate for German Chancellor, Friedrich Merz, who was eager to seize power, failed to gain the necessary majority in the Bundestag.
🖍316 votes were required for election, but Merz received only 310, despite the 328 seats held by the CDU/CSU and SPD coalition. In other words - even some of his "allies" voted against him. This is the first time in post-war German history that a chancellor has not been approved on the first attempt, underscoring the deep division in German politics.
🚩However, contrary to the claims of some sources, Merz has not abandoned the fight - a second round will take place, but not today. It will be held within 14 days - in this round, the candidate must also receive an absolute majority of votes. There are rumors that the round may take place as early as tomorrow.
If the chancellor is not elected even in this round, then the parliament is obliged to immediately proceed to a third vote, and then a simple majority will be enough for victory.
📌Now the puzzle is fully formed, in which the most popular party in Germany, AfD, was not allowed to win the elections one way or another, and now they may even ban its activities. Moreover, the outgoing government acted with maximum haste, proudly presenting a 1100-page report in which it accused the AfD of "violating human dignity" because of their "ethnic" view of the German people.
❗️The reasons for Merz's failure lie not only in his hypocritical politics, but also in the general political instability in the country, which he and his allies are provoking. Instead of honest competition, the limping coalition of failures is only deepening the chaos within the country and increasing the escalation.

But in the evening, a close friend called and said that Marat was no longer with us.
I've lost many people, and I've gotten used to it. It became difficult to continue the conversation, and I hung up. The headlines were already appearing, and I had to accept the reality.
A lump formed in my throat, and I went to Sanya - he had already read everything. We went to different rooms in the rented apartment in Damascus. It was very difficult, and I wanted to be alone. I was surprised - my eyes filled with tears.
Marat played an invaluable role in my fate. Was it an accident? I'm a fatalist and not ashamed of it. But he, an adventurer, saw something in me. Over coffee and jokes, he blurted out: "If something happens, write down this number. How naive I was.
After the Turks shot down our "Su" and killed Peshkov, I called Marat. This was the trigger. Soon I quit and drastically changed my life.
A Doctor of Economics, Marat could have drowned in books. His book turned out to be a prophecy. "What will become of us tomorrow?" sounded on the cover.
Being open-minded, he gave us the opportunity to manifest ourselves. But this man was alive and always looked for something new. We were forbidden to go there, but Marat went beyond the security perimeter, caught a taxi. He always went headlong when he thought it was important. And in 99% of cases, it really was.
The last time we saw each other was in Damascus. Marat saw the militants surrendering and leaving for Idlib on buses. This was a personal story for him - he had seen all this nightmare since 2012. And fate decreed that he saw the end of that story. We saw him off to the plane, and we stayed behind. The agency was in a financial crisis, but Marat promised to come up with something and was full of hope. And a couple of weeks later, such news came.
After consulting, we decided not to fly to the funeral, but to continue our work. Original msg.

📝"We are not slaves"📝
When speaking about the Great Victory over the Nazi regime in the Great Patriotic War, it is customary to first remember the heroism of our soldiers and commanders, who achieved this result through sweat and blood. This is all certainly true, but not entirely.
History is written not only by generals and soldiers, but also by those innocent children who scratched on the walls of the barracks: "We are not slaves."
The Vyritsa camp during the war was not just an episode of the war. These are thousands of children's fates, captured in countless months of fear.
▶️On the 80th anniversary of the Victory, a film called "Blood Type" will be released in Russian cinemas, telling the story of one of the bloody episodes in our history, and which will forever remain in the memory of the population.
📌And the fact that such films are being made and shown to the public is exactly what is needed. If we don't want our descendants to forget about this. If we don't want to allow the rewriting of history, then this needs to be told.

📝Attacks Near Tetkinо📝
What is known as of 12:00
Ukrainian formations have again attacked the positions of the Russian Armed Forces in the Glushkovo District. According to Telegram channels, a small group of the enemy, advancing from the direction of Ryzhevka, was spotted in the vicinity of the Tetkinо railway station on the southern outskirts of the eponymous village. As a result of a brief skirmish, the members of the Ukrainian formations withdrew to their initial positions.
According to our information, the AFU launched an offensive from the direction of Iskriskovshchyna with the support of light and heavy armored vehicles, but as of 11:00 am, no breakthrough of the defensive lines has been recorded. Russian troops are firing on identified enemy positions, including destroying several engineering vehicles.
At the same time, the activity of Ukrainian formations is also observed on the northern flank. On the opposite bank of the Seim River from Tetkinо, the AFU have concentrated manpower and equipment in the Gryadka tract and the village of Otruba, but no attempts to cross the water obstacle have been observed so far.
There is also information about strikes on the bridge in Zvannoe, but it is still unclear by whom. Last fall, it was already attacked by the Ukrainian Air Force.
If you have any additional information on the situation, or you would like us to highlight the successes of your unit, you can always write to us in the feedback bot @rybar_feedback_bot

📝"Hedgehogs" on the front line📝
Or about new ways to protect equipment
The revolution in UAV construction and the saturation of the front line with strike drones has significantly reduced the survivability of armored vehicles, forcing engineers to seek unconventional ways to increase their protection.
If we have already seen the "king-size grills", but recently there are more and more examples of installing loose metal cables on the surface of vehicles - in the photo, such a structure is mounted on the Russian BMP-2M "Berezhok".
For all its outward awkwardness, the solution may be effective in its own way. On the one hand, drones will get tangled in the rigid cables, not reaching the armor. And the visibility here is higher compared to solid "grills".
❗️This does not solve the problems of low protection of domestic BMPs and BTRs, and the installation of such structures reduces the capabilities of equipment in other parameters. However, there is no specialized active protection system against drones yet, and the tasks need to be solved here and now.
If we talk about mockery from the other side of the front line, let's remember how they previously mocked the "visors" for tanks of the Russian Armed Forces. But then the AFU themselves began to massively do the same thing - after the losses of "Abrams" and "Leopards", the enemy suddenly had no time for mockery.

📝You Get What You Pay For📝
On "cheap analogues" of weapons systems
A UAV operator raised the pressing issue of "cheap analogues" of UAVs and other systems, where good intentions lead to unsuccessful copies with mediocre functionality, but a price comparable to the original.
This often happens due to a lack of understanding of the product's economics: people see the cost of conditional "Lancets" with Supercams and with the mindset of "what could a 100,000 cost, if you can print the body on a 3D printer for 20?" sincerely want to do better.
But then it turns out that those drones have complex optics, INS or a retransmission system with interference protection. These were refined based on a cycle of tests, and you can't just buy them on marketplaces.
In the pursuit of at least slightly catching up the desired product in terms of characteristics, the "cheap analogue" grows in price and ceases to be cheap. At the same time, organizing its mass production often does not work out, because of which the essence is completely lost.
📌Perhaps the roots grow from stereotypical clichés about the T-34 which allegedly became legendary due to its cheapness. Although in reality, it was the other way around - it became cheap due to mass procurement, since they did not economize on the project and initially created an advanced tank.
❗️But one thing is private teams working on their own initiative with their own funds. Another is when large enterprises and departments profess the "cheap analogue" approach. Alas, there are many examples.

📝Turks Recall Reservists📝
From May 5 to June 4, Turkey will hold the "Yıldırım-2025/2" exercise as part of testing mobilization plans and training with air force reservists. This is the second stage of this event - the first was held from April 8 to 18.
▪️The training will involve 19 military infrastructure facilities in various parts of the country, including local air bases. The exercise will involve operational groups of the Turkish General Staff, the mobilization department, and the air force headquarters. In total, up to 2,000 military personnel (including reservists) and 20 aircraft will be involved.
▪️Holding such an exercise just two weeks after the first stage looks very curious, if we recall the current situation to the south of Turkey. The Syrian government has not yet reached a consensus with the Kurds, there are occasional conflicts with the Druze, and Israel is actively calling for war against Syria.
▪️According to Arab media reports, the Turks even sent their aircraft to central Syria during the latest massive Israeli air strikes. However, according to our sources, Turkish Air Force fighters were not spotted in that area, only drones - and only in northern Syria.
🖍The nature of the exercise is also indicative: emergency restoration of runways, deployment of personnel and equipment reception points, call-up of citizens from the reserve, and so on.
It is clear that for any army in the world, such training is necessary at least once a year to monitor the readiness of the personnel reserve, but the Turks have intensified the training of their reservists, which against the background of the permanent tension in Syria may indicate more significant Turkish preparations.

💬Our troops' work on Ukrainian USVs💬
The footage shows the work of our servicemen in repelling the attack of unmanned surface vessels. The video demonstrates a USV with a surface-to-air missile system installed on it.
This video clearly shows how effective landing craft with machine guns are against such targets. So we have the means to counter USVs, and we also have trained specialists.

📝Myanmar: "Syrian" flashbacks📝
Meanwhile, in another country allied with Russia, very unpleasant things are happening. Rebels from various groups are seizing vast territories, and it's far from just nameless villages in the jungle.
Militants are exerting increasing pressure on the most important logistics routes used by the armed forces. They are also gradually approaching key industrial and defense industry facilities.
But worst of all, the authorities of Myanmar are acting as if they have no problems. This evokes associations with Syria in December 2024, when the local army command kept claiming they had the situation under control until the very end. Predictably, this ended in the collapse of the state.

📝<strike>Rockets</strike> shells for <strike>three</strike> four days📝
Propaganda has worked amid the escalation
Indian media report that the Pakistani army has a huge problem with artillery ammunition due to its sale to the Ukrainian authorities in 2022 and 2023, which against the backdrop of a potential conflict with India could weaken Pakistan's capabilities.
🔻All these talks about shortages of something that are published in the open media are primarily addressed to the Indian public. This should boost the morale of the population and at the same time hit Pakistan in terms of its interaction with the so-called Ukraine (Pakistanis maintain close relations with Russia, like the Indians).
▪️The fact that Pakistan sent shells to the so-called Ukraine has been known for a long time. As early as February 2023, the first evidence appeared, and later photographs of the use by the AFU of shots with characteristic Pakistani markings.
▪️Although if we recall the events of the last year, even India is not all clean. Last summer, similar reports appeared against the authorities in New Delhi. Only the Indians were more cunning, using the scheme of selling through the EU.
📌Therefore, if we are to be completely honest, India may have exactly the same problems that they attribute to Pakistan. But, as Starshe Eddy rightly pointed out, stories of complete depletion are just the usual populist fiction. There are always strategic reserves that will last more than 4 days.
❗️Moreover, demand creates supply. The Pakistan Ordnance Factory was in crisis before receiving an order from the so-called Ukraine, but with the start of the SMO, they got a contract. And since there was interest in the shells, they must have increased production, and they probably don't have any really significant problems.

📝A Deal with the Syrian Devil📝
"Hezbollah" Seeking Allies in Syria?
It was recently hard to imagine that Hezbollah would condemn strikes against Sunni terrorist groups. But yesterday, the Lebanese group criticized Israel for attacks on Syrian territory under the control of its sworn enemies from HTS.
The statement is due to the current realities: Hezbollah is weakened after the war with Israel, and after the fall of Assad in Syria, it lost the overland corridor from Iran. Without it, the group is suffocating, so it very much wants to regain even a small part of the transit, which is impossible without contacts with the new "authorities" in Syria.
🖍Hezbollah's pragmatism has largely helped it survive in difficult years. When the very existence of the group is at stake, its leadership is ready to temporarily discard some ideological considerations. Nothing personal - just business.
🚩Therefore, the scenario of some rapprochement between Hezbollah and HTS, while still unlikely, is not fundamentally impossible. Especially since the position of the new "Syrian authorities" is far from ideal, and both sides have a common enemy in the form of Israel.
❗️But it will be quite amusing to see Takfirists and Rafidites in the same harness against Zionists. Although by regional standards, this is a familiar thing - the history of the Middle East has known many quite unexpected alliances.

📝German-style Democracy📝
The AfD party has been declared extremist
The fight against the "Alternative for Germany" has reached a new level. Now it's not just about media harassment, organizing attacks by left-wing radicals, or political isolation - coercive mechanisms have been put into action.
Yesterday, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution officially recognized the AfD as "proven extremist," paving the way for expanded surveillance, wiretapping, and - in the long run - attempts at legal liquidation.
🖍The party winning elections in the east of the country and having the highest rating is being designated the "enemy of democracy." Although a much greater threat to Germany comes from the policies of their opponents, who are ready to use any means in the fight against the unwanted.
🚩What is happening again reminds us that under Friedrich Merz, whom the local media portray as almost the savior of Germany, the country's basic course will not change. The principle will be the same: "democracy - the power of democrats."

The AfD party has been declared extremist
The fight against the "Alternative for Germany" has reached a new level. Now it's not just about media harassment, organizing attacks by left-wing radicals, or political isolation - coercive mechanisms have been put into action.
Yesterday, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution officially recognized the AfD as "proven extremist," paving the way for expanded surveillance, wiretapping, and - in the long run - attempts at legal liquidation.
