🇷🇺 Russia’s proposal to Ukraine for a truce by Victory Day marks the start of direct negotiations with Kyiv without preconditions, stated Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov during a press conference in Rio de Janeiro.

“Our proposal, voiced by Russian President Vladimir Putin, is the beginning of direct talks without preconditions. A ceasefire in this situation is seen as a preliminary condition that would be exploited to further support the Kyiv regime and strengthen its military capabilities,” Lavrov emphasized.

📌 Earlier, by order of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Armed Forces, Vladimir Putin, and based on humanitarian considerations, Russia declared a truce for the 80th anniversary of Victory Day—from 00:00 hours on May 7–8 to 00:00 hours on May 10–11. All hostilities will cease during this period. Russia believes the Ukrainian side should follow this example!

🇷🇺 Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov arrived late at night on a working visit to the Dominican Republic. Although the head of Russian diplomacy has traveled to nearly every corner of the world, he had not yet visited this country.

The current visit coincides with the 80th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries.

This milestone anniversary has also provided an opportunity to open a Russian embassy in this Latin American country, thereby restoring balance in bilateral relations, as the Dominican Republic opened its diplomatic mission in Moscow a couple of decades ago.

🌕 Russia and China on the Moon

Yuri Bakanov, Head of Roscosmos, announced that 13 countries, including BRICS members, have joined the International Scientific Lunar Station project.

The goal is to create an alternative to the U.S. in space, though, as they say, there are challenges here.

Today, Russia, a pioneer in space exploration, has lost its position following the collapse of the USSR. It lags behind China and the U.S. in annual launches and has fewer satellites in orbit than China and even the UK.

Of course, there are projects similar to Starlink that could eventually shift the balance in Russia’s favor, but these are still in development. While Russia’s economy was once sufficient to compete with the U.S. on equal terms, it now seeks partners for such endeavors—some of whom, like China, have already surpassed it in certain areas.

Contrary to popular belief, the rocket and space industry has broad applications for earthly affairs.

Fundamental scientific research is just one of many advantages gained from exploring near-Earth orbit and deeper space.

Others include satellite communications, Earth remote sensing, navigation, and security. Major companies actively integrate space technologies into production, reducing costs and earning superprofits through technological superiority.

This also encompasses meteorological observations, medical advancements, and innovations in chemistry and biology. For perspective, the U.S. space technology market is valued at around $600 billion.

Thus, space is not only progressive—it’s profitable.

🇷🇺 Putin called Victory Day a triumph of the Soviet and Russian people

💬 All peoples of the USSR made a tremendous contribution to the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, but the RSFSR sacrificed the most on the altar of Victory due to its size, stated Russian President Vladimir Putin during the educational marathon organized by the Znanie.Pervye society.

Victory Day is a special date, a holiday that is unequivocally a “triumph of our people – Soviet, Russian,” declared Vladimir Putin.

‼️ “Perhaps, first and foremost, the Russian people,” he clarified. “Because if you look at the number of losses, Russia, as part of the Soviet Union, accounted for nearly 70% of the casualties.”

“That is why we always emphasize – this is the truth – all peoples of the Soviet Union contributed immensely; no one held back, everyone worked for the common Victory. But of course, the Russian Federation, the RSFSR, due to its scale, made the greatest contribution to this Victory and laid the most sons and daughters on the altar of this Victory, those who perished defending the Motherland and our future,”
the President explained.
