Chernobyl will remain uninhabitable for another 20 thousand years, — Head of the State Agency for Nuclear Safety Grigory Ishchenko

He spoke about the state of the exclusion zone, Russian threats and prospects for industrial development. Key points:

➡️ Radiation: The zone is uninhabitable due to plutonium with a half-life of 20 thousand years. Tourist routes are safe only under strict rules.

➡️ Industry: "Green" energy is being developed in the 10-km zone. A new 762 kW solar plant was opened with funds from Spain, 2 GW of generation is planned.

➡️ War: The Russian occupation in 2022 caused losses of €3 billion. Laboratories were destroyed, equipment was stolen. 65 National Guardsmen are in captivity.

➡️ Threats: A corps is located from Belarus opposite the Chernobyl NPP, which conducts training. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are monitoring the situation.

➡️ Fauna: The zone is home to Przewalski's horses, bison, and wolves, but mines and UAVs threaten the animals.

➡️ Stalkers: Due to mines and the risk of DRG, "stalking" has almost disappeared. The last violator was detained in March.

➡️ Future: The zone could become a technology park with small modular reactors and nuclear waste processing.

The UK Secretary of State for Defence (Defence Minister) John Healy has recorded a video message as he heads to NATO headquarters in Brussels for tomorrow's Ramstein meeting.

Our commitment as Britain is to put Ukraine in the strongest possible position on the battlefield, in negotiations and through the peace that we hope the negotiations will bring to Ukraine in the future. We are travelling by train to Brussels, to NATO headquarters, and it will be a busy 24 hours with two important meetings.

The first is military planning to secure peace after the talks on Ukraine's future. The second is to work to ensure that Ukraine continues to fight until Putin ends his brutal invasion. And both meetings are being hosted by the UK leadership.

Today, around 30 countries from Europe and beyond are ready to work as a coalition to secure lasting peace in Ukraine.

The Ukrainian military has captured two Chinese citizens who fought in the Russian army. This happened in the Donetsk region - President Zelenskyy.

"There are documents of these prisoners, bank cards, personal data. We have information that there are considerably more than two such Chinese citizens in the occupier's units. Now we are getting all the facts. The intelligence, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), and the relevant units of the Armed Forces are working," he wrote.

The Russian Federation has intensified its information operation against Ukraine.

That's according to Ukraine's Foreign Intelligence Service.

"During the first five days of April, a new wave of information attacks aimed at Ukraine has been observed. Russian intelligence services are focusing on promoting accusations to EU countries and the U.S. that Kyiv allegedly refuses to negotiate an end to the war. In this way, Russia is trying to shift the blame for the ongoing hostilities onto the Ukrainian side, while simultaneously presenting a false image of itself as a 'peacemaker' supposedly ready to negotiate -- but not with the current authorities," the statement reads.


According to the statement, Russian state and affiliated media are involved in this information attack. Moreover, Russia is attempting to infiltrate the global information space to create the impression that "Ukraine fatigue" is becoming a widespread trend, thereby exerting external pressure on Kyiv.

British intelligence: Russia's advance in Ukraine has slowed since the beginning of the year

The advance of Russian occupation forces in Ukraine has slowed since the beginning of 2025, and the number of attacks has decreased.

This is stated in a review by the intelligence community of the UK Ministry of Defence.

According to British intelligence estimates, in March 2025, Russian forces most likely captured 143 square kilometers of Ukrainian territory, which averages less than 5 square kilometers per day.

"The pace of Russia’s advance has been decreasing every month since November 2024, when its forces captured over 700 square kilometers," the review says.

Russian occupation forces achieved the most gains in March in the central part of Donetsk region, but they failed to improve their operational positions, British intelligence noted.

"Ukrainian forces also conducted tactical counterattacks, which helped to offset some of Russia's gains around Pokrovsk," they added.

In the Toretsk direction, a Russian column of several armored vehicles (including the Z-STS "Akhmat") was able to break through the defenses of the Defense Forces, leave Toretsk and drive almost 6 km into the rear of our defenders, reaching Pleshchiyivka.

The column was broken, but the incident is unpleasant. It reminds me of the episode when a group of Russians broke into Kupyansk in November (although it was also destroyed).

Ukraine triples its weapons production in a year – The Economist

Ultimately, regardless of the ceasefire, Ukraine must eventually turn into a "steel porcupine" equipped with everything she needs to repel any Russian attack. The Ukrainian military-industrial complex is quite capable of providing the country with most of the missiles, armored vehicles, drones, and artillery shells needed to resist the Russians.

After the Soviet era, Ukraine's military industry significantly reduced in size but retained its industrial base. Now, it is accompanied by hundreds of new productions and a dynamic process of innovation provoked by a full-scale war. While in Western Europe, it takes several years from the creation of a new development to its availability to the military, in Ukraine it takes a few months.

Last year, Ukraine produced $10 billion worth of weapons, which is ten times more than in 2022 and three times more than in 2023, the publication writes, citing a report by the Ukrainian Institute for the Future (UIF). This includes more than 800 private and state-owned companies and more than 300,000 employees. This year, production volumes are expected to reach $15 billion – but in total, companies are capable of producing $35 billion worth of weapons. The constraint is simply lack of money, which Kyiv hopes allies will assist with, the publication says.

Ukraine is already covering about half of its arms needs, former Defense Minister Andrii Zahorodniuk. And Russia's strikes do not seem to be affecting this progress. "Some facilities have been hit five times or more, but they survive," Mr Zahorodniuk says.

This year, Ukraine expects to produce 5 million FPV drones that dominate the battlefield, compared with 2 million last year. Also, 30,000 bigger long-range drones, 3,000 cruise missiles, such as the new Long Neptune, and "missile-drones", such as the turbojet-powered Palianytsia. Ukraine is also testing her own ballistic missiles on Russian targets. These are extremely fast and thus harder to intercept. Although Fabian Hoffmann, a missile expert, reckons those numbers for big missiles may be ambitious.

The Economist calls Ukraine's electronic-warfare technology one of the most advanced in the world and definitely better than Russian and European ones. In particular, it refers to the Lima jammer, which scrambles the guidance system of the Russian glide bombs.

The key problem of the Ukrainian defense industry is the lack of air defense systems. The need for them is so great that even imports cannot cope with it. However, in January, Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi announced confirmed that Ukraine is developing a system that can shoot down ballistic missiles. Ukraine has also established a joint venture with the French firm Thales, one of the manufacturers of the SAMP-T air-defense system.

Some European partners understand that investing in Ukrainian arms production is the fastest and most effective way to maintain our defense capabilities. However, the amount of money allocated so far amounts to hundreds of millions of euros, not billions, as the situation requires, the publication says.

Uzbekistani citizen Kirill Zagorodnikov claims he always considered Russia as his homeland. He has decided to volunteer to fight against Ukraine in early 2024. The reason, he says, is that he does not want Russian people to bear the same humiliation from "Ukrainian Nazis" he bore from "Nazis in Uzbekistan."

In September 2024, his group was hit by Ukrainian drones, causing him to lose an arm and a leg. After being discharged from the hospital, he applied for Russian citizenship, but he still hasn't been granted it. He has also not received payment for his injuries and promised prosthetics.

Colby Badhwar on X reports that the 🇩🇪 Rheinmetall concern is acquiring Hagedorn-NC GmbH, which produces nitrocellulose for civilian needs at its plant in Lingen, Lower Saxony.

Nitrocellulose is used to produce single-, two- and three-component powder charges for artillery shells. Rheinmetall therefore plans to repurpose production in Lingen from civilian to military use.

ℹ️ It is nice to see how European production is slowly but surely reorienting civilian capacities to military needs. The Germans, of course, are setting the pace here.

For example, Volkswagen, which is considering repurposing one of its plants for military production. Or Porsche, which will invest in the production of drones for military needs. And this is the news of the last few weeks.

The trend is good.

US neo-Nazi group offers rewards for attacks in Ukraine

The American neo-Nazi group The Base is offering rewards for attacks in Ukraine. The organization is offering money for assassinations of Ukrainian politicians and attacks on power stations and military vehicles, according to the British newspaper
The Guardian.

The group, which was founded in the US in 2018 and has openly pro-Russian sympathies, has branches in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Croatia, among other countries. The Base's leader, Rinaldo Nazzaro, is an ex-military man and a former analyst for the US Federal Security Service FBI. He lives in the Russian city of St. Petersburg, where he does not have to fear US prosecution. Sympathisers of The Base have been arrested in several countries.

Nazzaro is said to have offered US ex-military personnel $1,200 a month to train new members. The organisation is preparing for the collapse of the world order and wants to profit from the chaos that will then ensue. With attacks, mass shootings and other actions, they want to accelerate the end of ‘the system’.

Neo-Nazis

Now The Base has called on its followers to focus on Ukraine. The British newspaper The Guardian has verified internet reports that prove that the neo-Nazis have put their logo on the walls of Ukrainian cities. The organisation is said to aim to create a white nationalist enclave in the mountainous Ukrainian province of Zakarpathia, located on the Hungarian border.

On Telegram, the group writes: ‘What is left of the Ukrainian authorities realise how weak they are. We understand their weakness. The time to do something has come.’

Last month, a lawsuit was filed against one of the followers of the Dutch branch of The Base, an underage boy with a penchant for camouflage clothing and neo-Nazi paraphernalia. Chats between sympathizers of the organization paint a picture of glorification of violence and xenophobia, particularly directed against Muslims and Jews.

‘Useful idiots’

The US and the EU have put The Base on the list of terrorist organisations. In America, the FBI had been on the trail of the group for years. That stopped when the service was relieved of that task by the Trump administration, writes The Guardian. According to the newspaper, the neo-Nazis in the US have been emphatically regrouping since they were left alone.

The Guardian calls it striking that Russia, which has always tried to portray Ukraine as a stronghold of neo-Nazis, has itself taken a neo-Nazi militia under its wing. The British newspaper quotes researcher Colin Clarke, director of the American think tank Soufan Center. He dismisses the movement as ‘no more than a new tool in the Kremlin’s war toolbox’.

According to Clarke, Russia ‘collects’ ‘useful idiots’ like Nazzaro, because they might be useful. However, the secret services take the organisation seriously enough to keep a close eye on it.

Espionage

Nazzaro has been suspected of spying for Russia for years. The Base has always openly identified itself with the military and political goals of the Kremlin. Clarke thinks there is a good chance that Nazzaro does indeed have ties to the Russian secret service. The latter denied this to The Guardian: ‘I have never had any contact with the Russian secret service.’

Europe should have digital payments under its control and reduce dependence on foreign payment platforms, The President of the European Central Bank, Christine Lagarde, has said several days ago.

"Whether you use a card or a phone, typically it goes through Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, Alipay. Where are all those coming from? Well, either the US or China. The whole infrastructure mechanism that allows for the payment, credit and debit, is not a European solution," Christine Lagarde said in an interview with Newstalk radio station.

According to her, although these companies operate in accordance with European regulations, Brussels should still "make sure that there is a European offer, just in case."

Putin will not be tried in The Hague while he is in power, — Euronews

The same applies to Prime Minister Mishustin and Foreign Minister Lavrov. The trial is possible only after their resignation and on condition of their physical presence — which is unlikely, since Russia does not recognize war as a crime and does not cooperate with the ICC.

President Trump said the tariffs on China were imposed so that it doesn't spend its "massive surplus" on the military.

"China is a massive surplus. That they take and they spend on their military. We don't want that. I don't want them to take $500 billion, $600 billion a year and spend it on their military. I don't want them spending money on their military. We shouldn't have to spend that either. I said this to President Xi hopefully it's the money we are never going to use."

Meanwhile, it is reported that China is selling $50 billion in US treasuries in response to the tariffs.

Ukraine will send a delegation to Washington this week to begin negotiations on a new draft agreement on access to Ukraine’s valuable mineral resources, Economy Minister Yulia Svyrydenko told The Associated Press.

💬 The new draft agreement from the United States shows that the intention to create a fund or invest jointly remains, Svyrydenko said.

It is not yet known why the United States decided to bypass signing the framework agreement and instead move to a more comprehensive draft that would require ratification by the Ukrainian parliament. However, Ukrainian officials are cautious about commenting on the content of the draft, emphasizing that at present it reflects only the position of one side.

💬 What we have now is a document that reflects the position of the U.S. Treasury Department’s legal team. This is not the final version, this is not a common position, Svyrydenko said.

She noted that Ukraine’s task now is to assemble a technical team for negotiations, define its “red lines” and basic principles, and send a delegation to Washington for technical talks next week. Legal, investment and financial advisors are currently being selected, she said.

Svyrydenko declined to publicly detail the official assessment of the new project proposed by the United States, but noted that there is now a detailed document describing the creation of the fund. And while the initial project focused mainly on the intention to create the fund, the latest version demonstrates how the Americans imagine its structure and functioning.

It remains unclear what role Ukraine will play in managing the fund under the new project. However, analysts noted that Kyiv’s participation is likely to be minimal — a point that Ukraine hopes to challenge in future negotiations.

"💬 We are very focused on ensuring that the final draft agreement after the negotiations fully meets our strategic interests. I believe that the work on the preliminary memorandum has shown that both teams are able to achieve these goals and agree on terms acceptable to both parties," Svyridenko said.

The Russian military is trying to avoid a new forcing of the Dnieper in the Kherson region

ATESH agents report that with the arrival of heat, the Russian occupiers are preparing for a new demand to force the Dnieper in the Kherson region. Orders were issued to prepare vessels, move personnel and equipment.

Soldiers remember how the last such assaults ended in December 2024 and January 2025. Then the losses in the units of the 28th SME of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation amounted to 90% of the personnel, and the task was not completed. And everyone understands that the situation has not changed and such an order is a one-way street. Therefore, many people try to avoid being sent by any means, including deliberately breaking boats and equipment.

We call on Russian military personnel to sabotage such operations. How to do it easily and imperceptibly.

Write to us and we will give more detailed instructions. Save yourself and your colleagues!
