In Russian-occupied Crimea, there are huge lines at gas stations. Gasoline is being delivered by ferries. The ferry fleet has suffered significant losses, which is why tankers have to wait in line for the ferry for an average of 4–5 days. Tankers are currently not allowed on the Kerch Bridge, as authorities fear it could be blown up. Ferries carrying tankers also look interesting. Even more interesting for the Ukrainian Defense Forces are the holding areas before the ferry - tens of thousands of fuel-loaded tank trucks are accumulating there.

Putin was shown a fragment of a pipeline through which Russian soldiers tried to infiltrate into Sudzha and were crushed by Ukrainian forces about a year ago. "Z-bloggers" said the operation was a huge failure of the Russian military.

Maduro declares a state of emergency and calls for mobilization, according to Venezuela’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Russia’s war has opened Pandora’s box. Conflicts are now waged through military means. A struggle for control over Venezuelan oil is underway. Will strikes on Venezuela affect Russia’s shadow fleet? Undoubtedly. "Venezuelan oil" plays a major role for the so-called shadow fleet. At one point, Rosneft (Sechin) invested large sums in Venezuela’s oil sector. In fact, the shadow transfer of part of the oil industry to the Russians was the price paid for preserving Maduro’s regime. Today, Russians mix Russian oil with Venezuelan oil, which is also sold through the shadow fleet, and market it as oil from third countries. If Trump succeeds in a rapid change of the Maduro regime, it will not stop but will complicate the operations of Russia’s shadow fleet. Everyone also remembers, after the defeats in Syria and Iran, that Russia does not really help its "partners." The only thing it can offer is asylum for those fleeing.

NATO has reacted to a Russian drone striking a residential building in Romania. "Early this morning, an apartment building in Romania was struck by a drone as Russia attacked Ukrainian infrastructure near the border. NATO Secretary General is in contact with the Romanian authorities. We condemn Russia’s recklessness, and NATO will continue to strengthen our defences against all threats, including drones," NATO Spokesperson Allison Hart said. Meanwhile, Romania's Ministry of National Defence stated that it had identified the drone as a Russian Geran-2. "The Ministry of National Defence strongly condemns the irresponsible actions of the Russian Federation and emphasizes that they represent yet another challenge to regional security and stability in the Black Sea region. Such incidents demonstrate Russia’s disregard for the norms of international law and endanger not only the security of Romanian citizens, but also NATO’s collective security."

⚡️ Putin said the Poles forced Hitler to attack them in 1939. Hitler just wanted to "realize his plans" and Poland was "uncooperative" and "forced" Hitler to attack and start World War II, Putin said. So, 1939, late August. Hitler: Poland, we want to annex you, agree! Poland: We don't agree, we are a sovereign state and will remain so. Hitler: You force me to conquer you by force. I declare war against you. God knows, it's your fault! And Putin says: Hitler had no choice but to start with Poland. What do you think of this interview, dear Polish followers?

In Russian Samara, the May 9th parade was officially canceled due to possible drone strikes. The stage and other arrangements were already installed but now are being dismantled. Looks like it's Ukraine that makes decisions about Russian parades now 😁

Putin spoke to the Russian security council. He made his usual remarks about the West being "destructive" for "dialogue between nuclear countries," promised that Russia is ready to respond to any "strategic threats" etc. But what is happening to his shoulders?

Russian propagandist Simonyan talks about the great sacred war that is not being fought against Ukraine. Take a listen. Putin and his inner circle have stopped talking about peace and negotiations and are raising the stakes. They speak of a "great and sacred war" against Europe and NATO. Why is this happening? It is a consequence of Russia’s failures on the Ukrainian front, where Russians are not advancing and are losing more and more soldiers - over 35,000 every month, more than they recruit - while Ukrainians are expanding the kill zone. It is the growing economic problems and the realization that Russia is heading toward collapse. It is the realization that everyone involved in the war will be punished after it ends, which means they cannot allow the war to end. Putin’s inner circle is aware of this dead-end situation. But Putin himself does not know the real picture, because people are afraid to tell him the truth. Therefore, Putin is convinced that he is winning the war. In addition, he sees that the United States is currently focused on the war in Iran and is no longer reacting to massive attacks on Ukraine and hybrid attacks in Europe. By the way, it is quite possible that the latest attack on Kyiv was organized personally for Putin - to give him the satisfaction of seeing Kyiv burning, especially after the humiliating May 9 parade in Moscow - but in reality, this attack achieved no military objectives and was a waste of millions. In this situation, with no real military successes in Ukraine, Putin’s inner circle, out of fear, may develop a desire to continue the war in a new direction - for example against the Baltic states - so that Putin stops asking about Donbas and Mala Tokmachka. The greater the defeat, the higher the stakes.
