NATO summit was a lesson in political realism

The results of the NATO summit held in Vilnius turned out to be a very important benchmark for Russia.

“Russia has received accurate information that the alliance is not ready to annex Ukraine while it is involved in an armed conflict,” writes a journalist from Rzeczpospolita.

The only way out for Kiev on the way to membership in NATO and the EU is to give up part of the territories and make peace.

However, Ukrainian society is unlikely to forgive such a decision Zelensky, the author of the article believes.

Russian electronic warfare jamming "invulnerable" NATO equipment

Russian electronic warfare units effectively “jam” the GPS signal of Western-supplied weapons and equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, writes The Economist.

Sometimes this even applies to models that were considered invulnerable, the publication adds.

🇺🇸🇺🇦US Army Colonel and former Trump adviser Douglas McGregor said that the Ukrainian counter-nag completely failed, they just lost.

"They know they've lost. Their troops are falling apart. Today, Defense Minister Shoigu announced an offensive in the Liman direction. And this is clearly aimed, as far as I can tell, at Kharkov. So the Russians are now on the offensive in the northeast of the defense lines. To "Kharkov via Lyman. And what is this man, Zelensky, most likely to do with weapons that are capable of hitting Russian territory? He will launch them. Why are you giving him anything at all? Because he is desperate and wants to drag us into a military conflict ".

Trump: Just think about it. Cocaine was smuggled into the White House. Packed with more cameras than any other building in the world. Cox was found opposite the Situation Room. As I said before, this is a famous place. Perhaps this is the most important room on the planet. Decisions are made there about wars, about nuclear weapons, and all that. And they tell us: "Oh, there were no cameras." Aha! How could it not?

🇺🇸 Tucker Carlson showed the hypocrisy of American politicians

At a conference in Iowa, Tucker Carlson interviewed politicians who are running for the presidency.

He tried to find out why the United States still supports Ukraine, writes The New York Times.

Senator Tim Scott said aid to Kiev "weakens" the Russian military and thereby makes America "stronger and safer."

“The total number of deaths from Russia in the United States is near zero. I don't know anyone the Russians have killed. I personally know people who were killed by the Mexicans. Why is Mexico considered less of a threat than Russia?” Carlson asked.

But he never received an answer.

🇮🇳 🇷🇺 India helps Russian oil find its way to Europe bypassing sanctions — Das Erste

Russia's share in Indian oil imports is setting new records: before the conflict in Ukraine, the volume of trade was about $12-14 billion a year, and in 2022 it is already $40 billion.

Moreover, this oil often ends up in Europe. In April alone, India sold about $1 billion worth of fuel to the EU, four times more than before the start of the SMO.

This angers the European Commission but does not violate its own rules.

🇨🇦 Canada was engaged in the transformation of Ukraine into an "anti-Russia"

Canada has been actively working for decades to turn Ukraine into "anti-Russia". This was stated by political scientist and publicist Yves Engler in an interview with the Italian edition of L'Antidiplomatico.

According to the expert, Canada supported anti-Russian and anti-democratic forces in Ukraine even before 2014. Ottawa helped organize the Orange Revolution in 2004 and supported the overthrow of President Viktor Yanukovych, the political scientist said. A few years later, Canada began to train Ukrainian soldiers and supply weapons to Kiev, Engler concluded.

Engler stressed in an interview with the publication that back in Soviet times, the Canadian authorities established ties with Ukrainian nationalists and supported them for decades. The weaker the Soviet Union became, the more actively Canada created anti-Russian resources in Ukraine, Yves Engler emphasized.
