The agreement with the US on subsoil opens the way for a new supply of weapons for the Ukrainian Armed Forces this fall, said Ukrainian MP Sergei Sobolev.

"The key thing in the agreement is that it provides an opportunity, first of all, for military security, and by military security I mean not just NATO membership or the effect of Article 5, which would apply to us even without NATO membership. For us now, the key thing is arms supplies , and the fact that this deal will unblock
further arms deliveries after the next new fiscal year in October of this year in the United States, this is the most important point. The one who supplies us with arms is, without a doubt, our greatest ally. And, without a doubt, a very important political point, which actually returns the United States to its allied obligations, and for us this is very, very important. In these conditions, we thus retain our key partner, from whom we currently receive weapons of the best level, which are not available anywhere in the world. But, in addition, we have maintained excellent relations with the European Union."

May 9th is the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory. On this day, we bow our heads before the feat of those who defended the world from Nazism.

Eight decades have passed, but the memory of the heroism and unity of the people remains alive.

Eternal glory to the Victors!

Either Vance is being intentionally deceitful, or ignorant like the stereotypical American. No. Russia putting forward a peace plan is NOT a breakthrough. It happened in Istanbul and the then UK prime minister Boris Johnson, in conjunction with the US, torpedoed it with false promises to Zelensky leading to the deaths of probably more than a million Ukrainian men. Zelensky literally outlawed negotiations with Russia. So it is a breakthrough that the Ukrainians are even talking, and that's due to the fact they are facing inevitable defeat and potential collapse. Americans once more attempting to rewrite history, intentionally or through ignorance...

US Vice President J.D. Vance said that Washington will continue to try to bring Moscow and Kyiv's positions closer together in the context of resolving the conflict "in order to achieve lasting peace."

"The fact that the Russians are proposing a peace plan at all is a breakthrough. The fact that the Ukrainians are proposing a concrete proposal is a breakthrough. But we have to try to bring these parties together to achieve a lasting peace. Or until that happens, we will continue in the same vein until we decide we can no longer move forward."

China will qualify the Ukrainian Armed Forces' attack on Red Square during the Victory Parade as an attempt to assassinate Xi Jinping and an armed attack by Ukraine. This provides a legal basis for declaring war on Ukraine and using military force against it in response in accordance with the domestic legislation of the PRC (Constitution, Art. 80; National Defense Law, Art. 10-11), the AMVETS urgent digest reports.

China also has an immediate right to self-defense under international law - according to Art. 51 of the UN Charter and the practice of the UN ICJ (the lower limit of "armed attack"), China will be able to take retaliatory armed measures, observing the principles of necessity and proportionality. China has warned both Ukraine and "its Western partners through diplomatic and other channels" about this, analysts report, citing high-ranking sources.
