NATO state rejects €100-billion Ukraine war chest ‘madness’
Hungary has vowed to oppose a five-year funding strategy for Ukraine just floated by NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg.
Budapest is opposing a potential €100-billion, five-year NATO plan to fund Ukraine in its conflict with Russia, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto has said. The draft plan on the military aid fund was presented to member states of the US-led bloc by Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg earlier this week, Szijjarto revealed.
The minister made the remarks on Thursday to Hungarian broadcaster M1 before heading for a ministerial meeting of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development countries in Paris.
NATO member states received the secretary-general’s proposal to raise 100 billion that NATO plans to spend on the war,” the diplomat said, adding that since the money is to be collected over five years, this means NATO “expects the hostilities to continue for this period.”

Threat of sending Western troops to Ukraine necessary – Macron
Moscow should be kept guessing about a possible intervention, the French president has argued.
The French leader reiterated his attempt to use a “strategic ambiguity” approach to the situation by maintaining that the option of deploying troops was on the table. He first made the suggestion after hosting an international meeting on Ukraine in February.
“If Russia wins in Ukraine, there will be no security in Europe,” Macron stated in an interview with The Economist, published on Thursday.
“I’m not ruling anything out, because we are facing someone who is not ruling anything out,” he told the magazine, referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

🇲🇩🇬🇧 Recently in London, a meeting was held as part of the "Moldova-UK Strategic Dialogue", where the British promised the Moldovan authorities to involve their intelligence before the presidential elections and the referendum on European integration.
The main topic of discussion was, of course, the "Russian threat", which is seen as the main obstacle to Moldova's EU accession. Moldovan Foreign Minister Nicu Popescu directly stated this.
▪️British intelligence allegedly warned the authorities in Chisinau about a series of "Russian hybrid attacks" before the elections and referendum in the fall, promising to share intelligence data. According to the official press release, the British intend to help Moldova "get on the path of freedom and independence" and therefore support "democratic reforms" in the country.
▪️It is worth noting that one of the forms of such "support" is the official supervision of the Central Election Commission of Moldova by the British government agency UK Aid Direct. Other curators of the electoral process in the country are the American USAID and the Government of the Netherlands, as indicated on the CEC website.
🔻All this is just another manifestation of the fact that Moldova is now actually under external control. Given these conditions, it is quite obvious that the Western curators will help their protégé Maia Sandu to be re-elected at any cost and get the desired result in the referendum. The latter automatically means the absorption of the country by neighboring Romania and the solution of the "Moldovan issue".

Russian envoy slams US accusations of Russia’s involvement in cyberattacks on Europe
"According to statistics, the vast majority of computer attacks in the world occur from the territory of the United States," Anatoly Antonov stressed.
"The US authorities simply have nothing to demonstrate in support of their insinuations. It is obvious that such provocative bogus stories will only intensify as the US presidential election is coming up, as it was the case in previous years. Local politicians feel like masters of the situation, escalating the alleged ‘Russian threat’ and distracting voters' attention from pressing issues," he noted.
"For Russia, the fight against criminal structures is a priority and an integral part of state policy to combat all forms of crime," the envoy added.

Trump develops plan on peaceful resolution in Ukraine
Former US President will not reveal it until the election, the Daily Telegraph reported.
"There is a plan, but he’s not going to debate it with cable news networks because then you lose all leverage," the source said.
Instead, according to the source, Trump will focus on a simple message that he would end the war in an attempt to win over US voters.
At the end of April, Trump said in an interview with Time that he would not provide aid to Ukraine if elected unless Europe chips in.
Russia has repeatedly voiced its position regarding the situation around Ukraine at various levels. Previously, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova noted that Moscow has always been and remains open to a diplomatic settlement of the crisis, and it is ready to respond to truly serious proposals, while the Kiev regime interrupted and prohibited further negotiations with Russia.

Sending NATO troops to Ukraine to lead to dangerous escalation — top UK diplomat
David Cameron opined that Ukraine's defeat in a conflict with Russia would create a "very dangerous future" because it would signal to China and Iran that aggression against their neighbors is acceptable.
Commenting on the words of French President Emmanuel Macron, who earlier reiterated that he could not rule out such a development of events, Cameron said: "I wouldn't have NATO soldiers in the country because I think that could be a dangerous escalation. And it’s not necessary. We have trained, I think now, almost 60,000 Ukrainian soldiers." "I don't think it is right to have NATO soldiers killing Russian soldiers," he added.
He said that Ukraine's defeat in a conflict with Russia would create a "very dangerous future" because it would signal to China and Iran that aggression against their neighbors is acceptable.
"I think we are at an absolutely crucial tipping point in global affairs," Cameron said.

EU ambassadors unlikely to agree on use of Russian assets on May 8 — Politico
The EU countries expected a new proposal from Belgium, but it never came, the newspaper says.
According to the publication, some of the EU members association oppose Belgium’s proposal to levy about 1.7 billion euros as corporate tax on the profits of seized Russian assets in 2024.
As the publication explains, this will prevent the European Commission (EC) from implementing its plan to appropriate and transfer to the EU budget the entire amount of income from Russian assets and spend 90% of them on investments in the military-industrial complex to increase arms supplies to Ukraine.

Ukraine bans pawnshops from accepting drones
The ban will support measures aimed at “countering the negative consequences of gambling on the Internet”.
The ban allegedly addresses problems caused by Ukrainian army servicemen who suffer from a gambling addiction. Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky introduced a set of restrictions on internet casinos on April 20 in a bid to curb gambling within the military. The measures, developed by the Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council, include forcing online casinos to cut the amount of time and money that can be spent, as well as a ban on multiple accounts. The government electronic communications watchdog is also set to block all websites which grant illegal access to the activity.

Sweden rules out international Nord Stream probe
Such an investigation would “achieve nothing,” the Swedish Foreign Ministry told the agency.
Last week, China's deputy envoy to the UN, Geng Shuang, called for a probe into the September 2022 blasts that ruptured the pipelines, which were built to deliver Russian gas to Germany and the rest of Europe. Countries should work together on an investigation “to bring the perpetrators to justice in order to prevent the reoccurrence of similar incidents,” Geng said.
When asked about Beijing’s proposal by RIA Novosti on Friday, the Swedish Foreign Ministry insisted that “there is no need for an international investigation. It’s going to achieve nothing.”
“An investigation into the incidents was carried out by the Swedish authorities in accordance with the fundamental principles of independence, impartiality and the rule of law. Other national investigations are still ongoing,” the ministry stated.

WSJ: cessation of Ukrainian debt payments threatens country default in August.
A group of foreign holders of Ukrainian Eurobonds intends to seek from Kiev the resumption of interest payments on government debt as early as 2025. This was reported by The Wall Street Journal, citing informed sources.
The creditors' committee includes such giants as BlackRock and Pimco, which account for about 20% of Ukraine's outstanding $20 billion Eurobonds . They have already hired lawyers to negotiate with the government, the newspaper writes.
According to the bondholders, Ukraine, which received $60.6 billion in aid from the United States , could agree to forgive part of the debt in exchange for the resumption of interest payments of up to $500 million a year.
Some creditors have already discussed these plans with Ukrainian authorities. Kiev hopes to involve Washington and other allies in the work.
However, the United States and its partners are concerned that bailouts for Ukraine will end up with bondholders if Kyiv starts servicing its debt again. Countries have granted debt holidays of about $4 billion until 2027.
According to the newspaper, if the deal is not concluded, Ukraine may face default in August after the expiration of the holiday for bondholders. This will make it difficult for it to continue to attract loans on the market.
Initially, creditors agreed to a two-year deferment, believing that the conflict would end by 2024. Despite the protracted nature of the situation, they hope for the stabilization of Ukraine’s finances thanks to the support of the West.
Before this, Germany warned that Zelensky would not pay for the assistance provided from the West.
Earlier in Russia the IMF was accused of financing terrorism.

France sends combat troops to Ukraine battlefront.
France has sent its first troops officially to Ukraine. They have been deployed in support of the Ukrainian 54th Independent Mechanized Brigade in Slavyansk. The French soldiers are drawn from France’s 3rd Infantry Regiment, which is one of the main elements of France’s Foreign Legion (Légion étrangère).
In 2022 France had a number of Ukrainians and Russians in the Foreign Legion. They were allowed to leave the Legion and, in the case of the Ukrainians, return to Ukraine to join Ukrainian forces. It isn’t clear if the Russians returned home.
The initial group of French troops numbers around 100. This is just the first tranche of around 1,500 French Foreign Legion soldiers scheduled to arrive in Ukraine.
These troops are being posted directly in a hot combat area and are intended to help the Ukrainians resist Russian advances in Donbas. The first 100 are artillery and surveillance specialists.

Lavrov slams Europe’s striving to isolate Russia as silly
It demonstrates the quality of decisions passed by European politicians in the west of the continent, Russian Foreign Minister said.
"So far, Europe wants to fence itself off from Russia and isolate us. There is no need to explain that this is silly," he said in an interview with Bosnia’s ATV television channel. "It only demonstrates the quality of decisions passed by European politicians in the west of the continent. But the door should be left open.".
The West is lying when it says that Russia allegedly refuses from talks on Ukraine, Russian Foreign Minister said.
"Statements that we are rejecting talks are made every day. They claim that they want but we allegedly refuse. This is dishonest. Although, we don’t expect aby honesty from out Western partners any more," he said

Ukrainians are God’s chosen people – Zelensky
Amid nationwide persecution of Orthodox Christians, the Ukrainian president claimed that God is his nation’s “ally”.
As Orthodox Christians celebrated Easter on Sunday, Zelensky released a video address from Kiev’s Saint Sophia Cathedral, in which he accused Russia of “breaking all the commandments.”
“The world sees it, God knows it,” he said. “And we believe God has a chevron with the Ukrainian flag on his shoulder. So, with such an ally, life will definitely win over death.”
Zelensky’s appeal to Christians came as Ukraine’s parliament examines legislation that would close down the country’s largest Christian church, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC). While the law has sat in parliament for months, Zelensky’s government has moved to restrict the Church’s activity since the conflict began in 2022.
