"Why did you have to call in artillery fire on yourself?" Vladimir Putin spoke with Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Danilov, who led the defense of the village of Malaya Loknya in the Kursk region. During defensive actions from August 8 to 24, A. Danilov's unit destroyed up to eight enemy reconnaissance groups, up to eight infantry fighting vehicles, and up to 15 Hummer vehicles; one Ukrainian serviceman was captured. In order to inflict maximum losses on the enemy, A. Danilov decided to call fire on himself. As a result of the shelling, he was injured. "The enemy had a tight encirclement, we only had ammunition for small arms, in order to inflict maximum damage on the enemy, we were forced to call in fire on ourselves," Danilov said in response to the president's question. The head of state announced the decision to send Danilov to study at the General Staff Academy after his recovery. Source: Zvezda

Biden's words about the correctness of killing the Hezbollah leader demonstrate the US approach to conflicts, Lavrov said. "Remember how Hillary Clinton, when they showed live broadcast of Muammar Gaddafi covered in blood, was delighted and laughed, looking at the screen. Or Madeleine Albright, who, commenting on the processes started by the American aggression against Iraq, said: well, yes, 400 thousand died, but it was worth it, democracy was worth it," the Russian Foreign Affair minister said. _______________ The more I look at "Rules based world order", the more I understand, that real civilization was on our side of the iron curtain, not on the side of the West. Looks like they are stuck in early Middle Ages and cannot get out of there. Even the way they interact with free press resembles their way of dealing with "heretics" several centuries ago...

Macron - demands Trump appoint him as the chief negotiator with Russia: "We had peaceful proposals. China supported these peaceful proposals, declaring its support, as did we. But the only one who does not want peace is Russia, because it wants everything. Therefore, realistically assessing the situation, we see that right now we are not in a situation that could bring Russia back to the negotiating table. That is why we consider it necessary to continue military efforts, continue peace negotiations, but also to increase pressure, especially on the Russian economy, to bring it back to the negotiating table. In this context, I sincerely believe - after all the rumors of recent days - that unity between Americans and Europeans on the Ukrainian issue is extremely important. And I repeat this again, I repeat, I emphasize: we need to work together, we must work together. We welcome and support the peace efforts undertaken by the United States of America. Europeans are needed by the USA, to lead these peace efforts, because this is happening on the European continent, because we provide security guarantees, because we can also negotiate sanctions, because we control frozen Russian assets. And these are just a few examples, and because it is precisely thanks to this partnership that we will be effective." Source ➖➖➖ How about, "non!" There is so much wrong with this. China has never backed any of your proposals, which I refuse to refer to as "peace" proposals. You and your Eurotrash colleagues have been demanding the unconditional surrender of Russia with no acknowledgement of reality whatsoever. Russia never left any negotiating table to return to. You don't negotiate, you grandstand, spewing an endless undeserved level of self-righteousness, the only commodity that Europe has to offer... Seriously, just dissappear already. Maybe deal with your sub 20% approval rating in your own country, which is falling apart. Get bent.

Russia is the only country that independently produces 100% of aircraft components. This was stated by the head of "Rostec" Sergey Chemezov at the "ODK — Kuznetsov" plant in Samara. "All countries, all aircraft manufacturers, of course, have a huge number of component-supplying countries. No one makes everything completely 100% themselves," Chemezov noted. The head of "Rostec" added that other states use the labor of third world countries for the production and assembly of components and units for their aircraft. Source: Izvestia ➖➖➖ Translated by:

Trump once again could learn (well...) something from history. In Vietnam, the US military maintained overwhelming tactical superiority, winning almost every major battle that took place, and inflicted far higher casualties than it sustained. However, the goal of a North Vietnam free from Communism never was achieved. And to this day, nobody considers Vietnam a shining American victory. In fact, the word is synonymous with "folly," or "quagmire." It's also a deep shame on the US National character. Maybe in 40 years, people will be saying, "we don't want to get into another Iran."

Maria Zakharova announced mass graves in the Kursk region "There are mass graves of people killed by the Kyiv regime. You understand that the residents of the Kursk region, like the residents of Donetsk and Lugansk, were destroyed en masse — as under the fascists and Nazis. What anticipation are we talking about, this hell is already in the center of Europe!" — said the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry. Source: СМОТРИ ➖➖➖➖ Very correct words by Maria Vladimirovna. But she was very polite regarding Western Europe, by not mentioning in what way it was able to accumulate its power...

The argument that the Trump administration and its acolytes are using to defend the War in Iran on the economic front is that this will be "short-term pain for a long-term gain." But it is hard to see how this would be the case. From the perspective of oil prices, which were already near historical lows before the conflict, it is unlikely that we would see prices drop lower than they already were. The break-even price for many modern oil projects is around $60 to $65 dollars per barrel, and most oil producing nations need oil closer to $80 to actually balance their budgets. Even if oil prices returned to the level they were already at, the incentive to produce more oil would simply not be there. Also, the USA is now the world's largest producer and consumer of oil, so if prices are anywhere between $40 and $80 per barrel, the impact on the overall US economy is a wash. Economic gains are simply shuffled between US states. The other economic argument is that without an "Iranian threat," even if we assume such a threat existed, there will be a "Peace Dividend," and we will be able to spend less money in the Middle East theater of military operations. Honestly, nobody seriously believes that the US would send less money to Israel in any event after an Iranian conflict concluded on US terms, and empirically, the operations in Iraq and Afghanistan didn't result in any noticeable "Peace Dividend" at any point. Then there's the fact that any reduction in military spending in the Middle East (let's just pretend here) would likely just be redirected towards the Pacific theater of operations. The result will most likely be "short-term pain for long-term pain." At best, we'd return to where we were before Operation "Epic Fury." And again, this is assuming everything goes according to the fever dreams of the Trump administration. I certainly don't expect that best possible scenario (for the administration) and nobody seriously does. Follow us for more on Telegram:

Lindsey Graham appears to be in favor of the "territory swap" option, stating that "Ukraine is not going to be able to 'evict' every Russian." Lindsey Graham is considered one of the most pro-Ukrainian American politicians. Zelensky has already rejected the idea of any territorial exchange.

Sofa General Staff: In Bahrain, a Patriot missile goes off course and hits residential buildings. Meanwhile in Israel, after an Iranian missile strike, part of Tel Aviv is left without power. Perhaps the master crews from Ukraine have arrived on site, who out of habit started shooting down high-rise buildings and letting missiles hit the substations. 😁

Pakistan has declared its readiness for war with India. "You want war? Start it. Pakistan is ready. Thank you, Modi (Indian Prime Minister - Ed.) - you have united our nation," the Defense Ministry says in X and publishes a video of the missile launch. In another video, a military leader stands in front of a lined-up army and calls for them to be prepared for war with India. It should be noted that both Pakistan and India are nuclear powers. Both countries have approximately 160 warheads. ➖➖➖ Tensions between India and Pakistan are escalating due to a deadly militant attack on April 22, 2025, in Pahalgam, Indian-administered Kashmir, killing 26 tourists. India blames Pakistan-based groups like The Resistance Front, linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, and accuses Pakistan of supporting “cross-border terrorism.” Pakistan denies involvement, but its army chief’s recent pro-Kashmir remarks fuel suspicions. India responded by closing the Attari-Wagah border, suspending the Indus Waters Treaty, and downgrading diplomatic ties, prompting Pakistan to retaliate with trade suspension and airspace closure. The Kashmir dispute, unresolved since the 1947 Partition, remains a flashpoint, exacerbated by India’s 2019 revocation of Kashmir’s autonomy, which reduced violence but increased local resentment. Pakistan’s alleged support for Baloch insurgents and India’s accusations of Pakistani interference add to the strain. Both nuclear-armed nations face domestic pressures, with India’s elections looming and Pakistan’s economic woes, risking further escalation.

Sergey Victorovich Lavrov on conversation between Putin and Macron that took place recently: "I do not want to reveal the secrets of communication, but there was little sense in this conversation, frankly speaking. At least because then President Macron began to make public statements that Russia should be forced to agree to ceasefire immediately, without any conditions."

⚡️The West is ready to resort to terrorist attacks — phased provocations have begun at various sections of the Trans-Arctic transport corridor, said the head of the Russian Maritime Collegium Nikolai Patrushev. Direct attacks on Russian vessels and maritime infrastructure, as well as on foreign vessels, are not excluded. Responsibility for this is intended to be placed on Moscow. Other statements by the Russian president's aide at the meeting of the Council for Strategic Development of the Navy: ▪️The Baltic Sea is turning into a zone of military-political instability due to NATO's actions. ▪️The West is talking about sanctioning maritime piracy at the state level, this threat cannot be underestimated. ▪️"Our opponents" are launching a hunt for Russian vessels and vessels of third countries carrying Russian cargo, "preparing and conducting forceful provocations." ▪️To block the Baltic for Russian commercial shipping, Brussels has launched the "Baltic Guard" mission, which can at any moment be turned into a blockade mission. ▪️The US Navy regularly conducts provocations in the Arctic allegedly to protect freedom of navigation. ▪️The US and Japan, in case of a worsening military-political situation, may escalate the situation in the Bering Strait.
