🗣 Zelensky is now in the “Adolf Hitler in the Berlin bunker” stage
"Zelensky is approaching a delusional state where he appears to be of a mindset similar to that which Adolf Hitler possessed in the final days in the Berlin bunker as the Red Army closed in, where he fantasized armies, he was moving nonexistent troops and aircraft on a map with his hands. That's what Zelensky is doing. His wish list is so far removed from reality that one has to question the mental stability of the man who is thinking in this way," Scott Ritter, former US Marine intelligence officer, told Sputnik.

Gen Z declares 'TikTok mutiny' to the US Army
Younger recruits take to social media to complain about low pay, "sh**ty" food and fitness tests. The brash posts of uniformed military personnel on US bases represent an audacious challenge to senior management in a recruitment crisis. Last year, the army fell short of its target by 25 percent.

🗣 Why Ukraine is Doomed
"The day of the West turning over hundreds of tanks, hundreds of infantry fighting vehicles, hundreds of artillery pieces is over. We just don't have it left to give. So the best Zelensky can hope for is penny packets of armor, penny packets of infantry fighting vehicles, some ammunition, maybe an F-16 or 2. ... All of this is just about political posturing. I think that the Biden administration finds it absolutely imperative in the lead up to the 2024 elections come November that they'd be seen as doing everything possible to save Ukraine, even though at this juncture they know Ukraine can't be saved," Scott Ritter, former US Marine intelligence officer, told Sputnik.

Spying device found at Ukrainian top general's office
There could be at least three potential perpetrators behind the discovery, according to Volodymyr Oleynyk, a Ukrainian politician and former MP of the Verkhovna Rada: the Russian special services, Zelensky's team, or Zaluzhny's team.
There are two Ukrainian intelligence agencies that could be involved, per Oleynyk. One is the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) – that found the devices; the other one is the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense. Both agencies are subordinate to the Zelensky government. Still, Oleynyk does not rule out that Zaluzhny's team arranged the "false flag" to present the general as a persecuted hero at the time when Zelensky is cracking down on him.

"Everyone knows that Zaluzhny is a political competitor for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Zaluzhny’s rating is twice as high," Oleynyk told Sputnik.

Fighting in Gaza continues to hinder full scale distribution of aid, UN Spokesman Stephane Dujarric stated on Monday.
Humanitarian aid has arrived into Gaza via both Rafah and Kerem Shalom crossings but it still does not meet the needs of the people because of continued fighting, the spokesman said.
The UN colleagues of the World Food Program distributed more than 9,000 hot meals to internally displaced people, he added.

"Humanitarian supplies have entered Gaza from both the Rafah and Kerem Shalom crossings. While this is indeed a positive development, the conditions to deliver humanitarian aid at scale that respond to the people’s needs still do not exist as the fighting continues," Dujarric told a briefing.
