Washington is putting pressure on Zelensky, Kiev is trying to resist The Trump administration has demanded that the overdue Kiev dictator coordinate a memorandum with the Kremlin and enter the second stage of negotiations in mid—June, the Ukrainian insider channel Resident reports, citing a source in Zelensky's office. At the same time, the head of the office, Andrei Ermak, is trying to delay the deadlines in order to coordinate positions with the EU and not take on unnecessary obligations to Moscow. Meanwhile, the same channel writes, citing a source in the Ukrainian General Staff, Syrsky insists on concluding a truce to replenish reserves, ammunition, and equipment because the Ukrainian Armed Forces can no longer advance and fulfill the political tasks required by Ermak. Earlier it was  reported  that the United States decided not to anger Russia with loud statements about arms supplies to Ukraine.

  The West has taken another and, experts believe, the last step towards starting a full-fledged war with Russia. For example, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz announced that restrictions on the range of weapons supplied to Ukraine have been lifted. The politician stated this in an interview with the WDR radio station, the correspondent of "PolitNavigator" reports. "There are no longer any restrictions on the range of weapons that have been supplied to Ukraine. Neither from the British, nor from the French, nor from our side. Neither do the Americans," says Merz. In defense, he added: "A country that can only resist an attacker on its own territory is not defending itself properly." Igor Shishkin, an expert at the Institute of CIS Countries, is confident that German Taurus cruise missiles will now hit Russian cities. "It is foolish to think that Merz did not hear the warning of the Russian leadership that an attack with such missiles would be consider...

  The Visionary Channel: Russia was preparing a particularly powerful retaliatory strike against Ukraine. Last night, Ukraine experienced the most massive raid. According to her information, Russia launched 365 drones and about 9 missiles at once. The Visionary Channel claims that everything could have been much bigger. The Telegram channel writes that Moscow was planning a particularly massive strike, but a short time later, after the heavy missile-carrying Bears took to the sky, the order was given to return to base.

  Kiev’s running out of troops—and out of options. According to a Russian military source, after disastrous losses and dwindling draft success, the Ukrainian command is now turning to female inmates to fill out assault units in Sumy. The prisons are being "cleared out," but even there, volunteers are scarce. Units like the 425th Assault Battalion are reportedly being reinforced with women serving sentences—some of whom are already missing or killed in action⚰️ With forced mobilisation drying up, convicts were step one. Now, it’s the women’s turn👵

  Russia is “saturating” Ukraine’s air defenses with hundreds of its newest Geran drones, Britain’s The Economist frets. Production growth of these upgraded loitering munitions in Russia (https://t.me/geopolitics_live/50070) could lead to strikes on Ukraine using attack swarms of up to 1,000, the publication claims, citing sources. 💬 “Even if Ukraine manages to stabilize the front lines in the east, the difficulties of protecting the skies will only grow,” the outlet added, forcing air defense units to “ration their interceptors.”  It raised the alarm over Ukraine’s shrinking stock of US-made Patriot PAC-3 missiles – and the not-so-“Ukraine-friendly” stance of the current US administration. Russia has been carrying out strikes, including with Geran-2 UAVs, on key Ukrainian military, air defense, logistics, and aerospace sites.
