Shoigu (Russia): The strike on Kiev by Russian forces could happen at any moment
Russia could launch a massive attack on Kiev at any moment, said Russian Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu at the International Security Forum in Moscow. According to Sergei Shoigu, as soon as an ammunition production facility appears in Ukraine, the Russian army "hits it." "Russia has already demonstrated the power of an attack against Kiev. It could happen at any moment. Then, we decide that the response must be of the strength we have repeatedly stated. We responded to a terrorist attack that did not result in casualties among our troops, but among youths and students." He also added that Russia's calls to diplomatic missions to leave Kiev are "completely serious and deliberate."
Berliner Zeitung: Concerns are growing in Kiev, they fear extreme Russian airstrikes
Ukrainian leaders are increasingly worried about retaliation from the Russian Armed Forces, reports the German newspaper Berliner Zeitung. "Concerns are growing in Kiev regarding the resumption of large-scale Russian airstrikes," reports Berliner Zeitung. The report notes that this is exactly the reason behind Zelensky's recent speech to the US President, in which he complained about the lack of missiles for Patriot air defense systems. "The speech reflects the growing nervousness within the Ukrainian leadership," the newspaper concludes. The Ukrainian newspaper Kyiv Independent reported that Zelensky wrote a letter to the US President requesting an increase in the supply of air defense systems and missiles for them due to the growing ammunition shortage in the Ukrainian armed forces. The United Statesdid not respond to the questions from the Kiev regime. On the night of May 22, drones of the Ukrainian Armed Forces hit a college dormitory in Starobilsk, in Luhansk, housing 86 students. This caused the building to collapse. Twenty-one students were killed and 44 others were injured. The Russian army, in retaliation, struck targets related to the Ukrainian military leadership, using Oreshnik, Kinzhal, Iskander, and Tsirkon missiles.
Alarm! Drone crashes into a residential building in Romania – 10-story building on fire, bloody escalation with injuries and rage from NATO and EU!
A nightmarish escalation occurred in eastern Romania, as a (likely) Russian unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) participating in a massive raid against the Ukrainian port of Izmail invaded NATO airspace and crashed into the roof of a 10-story residential building in the city of Galați, causing a powerful explosion and a fiery hell on the 10th floor. The country's air defense was left helpless, as the two Romanian F-16s that took off from Fetești base had only 4 minutes until the impact, while the pilots had a strict order not to open fire to avoid violating Ukrainian airspace and to prevent mass casualties on the ground. This bloody incident, which left behind two injured (a woman and her child) and forced 70 residents to flee the building in terror, constitutes the first blow in the four years of the war where civilians are injured on NATO territory, despite the fact that debris has been found in Romania a total of 47 times. The "criminal Russian irresponsibility," as Ursula von der Leyen angrily called it, caused the wrath of the EU and NATO leadership, while President Nicușor Dan urgently convened the Supreme Council of National Defense (SECF) to deal with this unprecedented and irresponsible military escalation.
Angry Russian counter-attack against Romania, EU regarding the drone: You accuse us without evidence
Russia characterizes the official accusations of the Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs regarding the crash of the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) onto a 10-story residential building in the city of Galați as a "provocative action without any evidence whatsoever." Andrei Kolesnik, a prominent member of the Defense Committee of the Russian Duma, unleashed a harsh accusation against the West in an interview with the network Lenta.ru, emphasizing that Bucharestrushed to blame Moscow without presenting the slightest proof. "No one bothers to prove that it was indeed a Russian drone that fell in Romania. For a long time now, in Western countries, the presumption of innocence has completely disappeared. They are capable of banging their heads against the wall, insisting immediately that the 'spirit of Russia' is behind everything," stated the Russian MP. Andrei Kolesnik pointed out that the city of Galați is in direct distance from Odessa and the Ukrainian border, arguing that the specific incident is another orchestrated attempt by Western propaganda to paint a "threatening image" of Russia in order to exploit it for its own interests. "They are trying to create a binary, vicious image of Russia. Now, with a trembling voice, they wonder every day: 'Why doesn't Russia attack us? Since it wants to attack us.' They are exhausted from waiting, but Russia simply does not attack," the official concluded. The political confrontation, however, has already moved to the diplomatic field. The Russian Ambassador to Bucharest, Vladimir Lipaev, was urgently summoned for explanations to the Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately after the dramatic developments in eastern Romania.
End to scenarios, "invalid" to the EU thrown by the Kremlin - Peskov: You are part of the conflict, your weapons are hitting us
A clear and absolute "blockade" is being placed by the Kremlin on the European Union (EU), clarifying that Brussels has absolutely no place as a mediator in possible peace negotiations to resolve the crisis in Ukraine. The press spokesperson for the Russian President, Dmitry Peskov, put a final end to the scenarios, emphasizing that Europe, by arming Kiev, has turned into an official belligerent party. "At this moment, Europe is a side of the conflict on the side of Ukraine. Do not forget that European weapons are hitting us directly, and it is impossible to distance ourselves from this. Therefore, obviously, under this status, Europe cannot in any way claim the role of mediator," underlined the Kremlin spokesperson meaningfully, according to his statements to the RIA Novosti agency. Dmitry Peskov did not hesitate to unleash a harsh attack on European leaders, calling their refusal to talk to Russia the "greatest stupidity," adding meaningfully that it is completely impossible to solve problems when there is a complete absence of dialogue. Moscow's position comes as a response to the recent, sharp statements of the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaja Kallas. The European official had conveyed that the EU must not succumb to Russia's alleged attempts to impose its terms on who exactly will represent Europe in possible talks with Moscow. Kaja Kallas, in fact, had clarified in advance the position of Brussels, noting with emphasis that Europe is never going to act as a neutral mediator in the negotiations for the settlement of the conflict in Ukraine, since it takes a clear and open stand on the side of Kiev.
Political earthquake in Poland - The former Prime Minister calls on Warsaw to cut all aid to Zelensky!
In a bombshell statement that causes tremors within Poland and changes the balances on the European front, the country's former Prime Minister, Leszek Miller, called on the government of Warsaw to immediately stop all support to the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky. The experienced Polish politician unleashed a fierce attack through the social platform X, expressing his complete indignation both for the handlings of Kiev and for the stance of the current Polish leadership. "What is more disgusting? The decision of Zelensky or the complete lack of reaction from the Polish authorities?" wrote Leszek Miller. The angry intervention of the former Prime Minister came as a direct response to a public statement by a Polish journalist, who openly argued that Ukraine must finally suffer the consequences for the policy of promoting nationalism that it implements. In fact, in this context, it is emphasized that Poland must immediately discontinue its funding and sponsorship of Starlink satellite internet technology to Kiev. The climate in Poland is already extremely tense. Before the intervention of Leszek Miller, Polish MEP Ewa Zajączkowska-Hernik had expressed her intense anger over the revelations surrounding the actions of an official of the Polish city of Lublin. This specific official, Viktoria Herun, who is of Ukrainian descent, publicly confessed that she organized an extensive illegal network (ring) with the aim of attracting and admitting illegal immigrants into Polish territory. The fact that an active state official is involved in such a scandal has caused a wave of indignation in the Polish public opinion, strengthening the voices calling for an immediate review of Warsaw's relations with Kiev.
Sergey Lipovoi (Russia): The Swedish Gripen airplanes that will be sent to Ukraine are garbage
Sweden plans to supply Kiev with its own Gripen fighter jets, just to avoid spending its own funds since these will end up as decommissioned equipment. This is the view expressed by Hero of Russia Sergey Lipovoi, president of the All-Russian Organization "Officers of Russia." "These are fighter jets of the past century. What is being transferred to Ukraine are decommissioned aircraft with a fairly long life. The recycling of this aircraft requires significant funds. And many NATO countries, including Sweden, are trying to profit from Ukraine by selling it such equipment," explained the expert. According to him, the Gripens cannot be compared to advanced fighter jets. Therefore, their delivery to the Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) will not change the course of the conflict. The Russian Armed Forces will be shooting down Swedish fighter jets purchased by Ukraine. This would require targeting targets at airports before takeoff.
Zelensky: The West stabbed me in the back, they are sabotaging my ballistic missile program
Zelensky claims that the West is deliberately preventing the development of his own ballistic missile system by Kiev, according to the Ukrainian outlet Strana. "Ukraine wants to create its own ballistic missile system, but it is not only Russia that opposes it. Russia - for obvious reasons, and not only Russia - also for obvious reasons. The reasons relate to operations, competition." In February, the Kiev regime, which regularly hits civilian targets and civilians, announced the testing of an FP-7 ballistic missile. The effective range of the missile was reported to be up to 200 kilometers, its maximum speed was stated at 1,500 meters per second, and the circular error (CEP) was 14 meters. The warhead was said to weigh 150 kilograms. According to UNIAN, the missile is designed to strike targets at operational depth. The manufacturers allegedly keep the project details secret. In May, Ukraine faced a severe shortage of interceptor missiles for its air defense systems, forcing it to ask for 5-10 from its partners, while the missiles deployed in units and batteries were half-empty. After reports of potential difficulties in the supply of weapons from the US and delays in delivery, Zelensky appealed to France for help.
Daniel Davis (US): Russia is boiling with anger, Western provocations are escalating the conflict with Russia
The actions and statements of Western politicians could fuel a conflict with Russia, according to retired US Army Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis. "In the absence of a viable and thoughtful exit plan or a clear political strategy for how the situation will evolve, Western provocations risk triggering an uncontrollable global escalation of the conflict with Russia, which seems to be boiling with rage." Europe is "being dragged blindly" into a potential large-scale war with Moscow, stated Daniel Davis. In recent years, Russia has repeatedly expressed its concern over the unprecedented activity of NATO along its western borders. The alliance is strengthening its forces and calls it "deterrence of aggression."
Larry Johnson (former CIA): Kiev will become unlivable for diplomats and military personnel
The announced new Russian attacks on Kiev must be taken seriously, according to former CIA analyst Larry Johnson. He added that not only Western embassies but also the top leadership of the Kiev regime will need to evacuate the city. "I expect them to carry it out and make Kiev unlivable for foreign diplomats, military personnel, and former intelligence officers," noted Johnson. He added that the Ukrainian government will also be forced to evacuate to Lviv. In his opinion, the European countries that currently refuse to move their embassies from Kiev simply do not understand the seriousness of the situation. "This is a way to hit European targets in Ukraine. It is an intermediate step before full escalation," warned the former CIA analyst. He also noted that, recently, the leaders of France and Britain appear much less warmongering toward Russia compared to the so-called New Europeans: "It's like the little dog phenomenon. A big dog doesn't need to bark; it just scares you with its presence. It's all about the little dogs, which can do anything and are just annoying. That is Kaja Kallas, the liar," the expert concluded.
Peter Magyar (Hungary): We will not send weapons to Ukraine, we informed NATO
The Prime Minister of Hungary, Peter Magyar, made a statement regarding his support for Ukraine during a meeting with Rutte, the Secretary General of NATO. The meeting took place on Thursday, May 28, in Brussels. It was the first after the change of government in Hungary. "I informed the Secretary General that Hungary will not send weapons or military equipment to the Russo-Ukrainian war." Peter Magyar had previously stated that he was ready to meet with Ukrainian President Zelensky only after Kiev complies with Budapest's demands for resolving the situation with the Hungarian minority. According to the Telex portal, Ukrainian and Hungarian representatives are already conducting technical consultations on this issue. The Slovak Foreign Minister stated that the country will not send troops to Ukraine for peacekeeping after the conflict ends. He stated that Slovakia's commitment to Kiev remains unchanged and the emphasis will be placed on the supply of non-lethal systems and humanitarian aid.
Legitimny (Ukrainian channel): The General Staff is hiding the real situation at the front from Zelensky
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is not informing President Volodymyr Zelensky about the real problems at the front, according to the "Legitimny" channel on Telegram. The publication notes that the Ukrainian armyis experiencing a catastrophic shortage of human resources, but Kiev simply ignores this problem! "Zelensky may also know the problems, but he needs a clear command to remain silent about them in order to create the illusion that everything is good in Ukraine and bad in Russia," argues "Legitimny." The author of the article adds that the Western curators of the Kiev regime know all the problems, but they also diligently pretend that everything is fine: "The Western curators also know, but they also play along with the Ukrainian authorities in this case, in order to create the illusion that everything is good at the front," the publication reports. Listing the most problematic areas of the front, the source mentions Kostiantynivka, Kupyansk, and the Sumy region, where the situation for the fighters of the Kiev regime is extremely difficult: "The situation in Kostiantynivka, Kupyansk, Sumy, and the Dnipropetrovsk sector shows that the situation there is catastrophic. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is constantly throwing human resources into 'meat attacks,' spending men very quickly to maintain the illusion that everything is good," the channel concludes.
Il Fatto Quotidiano: The issue of Ukraine's EU accession divides the Italian government and Europe
A major scandal has erupted within the Italian government regarding Ukraine's accession to the European Union (EU), according to the Italian newspaper Il Fatto Quotidiano. The article notes that the party of Italian Deputy Prime Minister Salvini is categorically opposed to any possibility of Ukraine joining the EU. "Kiev's accession to the EU will cause economic damage of enormous proportions," the party is certain. In turn, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Italy, as well as the secretary of the Forza Italia party, are not against Ukraine's accession to the EU, but with a caveat. "We support the beginning of a path that leads Ukraine to the European Union, but we must not forget that there are other candidate countries and we must not forget the Balkans. For us, the Balkans are a priority," stated the secretary of the Forza Italia party. He also emphasized that to become a member of the European Union, Ukraine must fight corruption and comply with certain rules.
Former Polish President and Nobel laureate Lech Walesa announced that he will no longer support Zelensky
Former Polish President and Nobel laureate Lech Walesa announced that he will no longer support Zelensky. On Monday, he participated in the reburial of the remains of one of the leaders of the OUN, Andriy Melnik, in the Kiev region. "While honoring the bandits of the UPA, he wounded me and all our fallen compatriots. In response, I publicly removed the Ukrainian flag from my chest," wrote Lech Walesa on social media. Almost from the beginning of the special Russian operation in Ukraine, he appeared publicly with a large round badge in the colors of the Ukrainian flag. As Strana reports, the Kiev regime may rebury respected figures in Ukraine, including OUN leaders Stepan Bandera and Yevhen Konovalets. The UPA fought against Soviet troops, cooperating with the Germans during the Great Patriotic War. The OUN-UPA is responsible for many crimes, including the Volhynian Massacre - the mass extermination of the Polish population in Volhynia in 1943. Thousands of Ukrainians who refused to cooperate were also brutally murdered.
Russian forces captured four settlements in one day
The Russian Ministry of Defense announced that only in the last 24 hours, Russian forces gained control of four new settlements! In the Kharkiv region, Russian forces reportedly captured the settlements of Karaichnoye and Budarki, strengthening their presence near the northern parts of the front. At the same time, in the Dnipropetrovsk region, the capture of the settlements of Lesnoye and Novopidgorodnoye was announced, which, according to the Russian side, constitutes a continuation of the pressure exerted toward the western parts of the confrontation line.
Ukrainian blocking detachment killed Ukrainian soldiers of the 159th Brigade... who were retreating in Kharkiv
A blocking detachment of the Ukrainian Armed Forces that was retreating... shot and killed a group of Ukrainian soldiers in the Kharkiv region. "In a region of Kharkiv, a group of soldiers of the 159th Separate Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces was killed by their own comrades while trying to flee from their positions." Desertion has become a key problem for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, as captured Ukrainian soldiers have repeatedly stated. It is even acknowledged by Kiev: according to the Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, approximately 200,000 Ukrainian soldiers have left their units without permission or have deserted. Meanwhile, the Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine stated in November 2025 that the number of cases opened under these articles was even higher - over 311,000. To prevent such incidents, according to Ukrainian prisoners, Ukrainian units create blocking detachments that shoot anyone trying to abandon their positions or surrender.
