🇪🇺😡 Ukrainian cyber gangs could go legit in EU — Orban

80% of cybercrimes in Hungary in recent years were committed by Ukrainians, with 169 suspects identified, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban told Kossuth Radio.

“Ukraine is a dangerous country,” Orban added.


🔸If Ukraine joins the EU, Ukrainian fraudsters will get legal protection as the bloc’s “financial providers.”

🔸Taking action against them would be “much more difficult.”

Ukrainian scammers recently stole $22.5 million from Hungarian citizens. Police and banks have recovered about $4.2 million so far, according to the head of the PM’s office, Gergely Gulyas.

🗣 For Zelensky, a meeting with Putin and Trump would mean legitimization through their authority — Medvedev

Additionally, Kiev has other objectives, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council believes:

🔸The desire to postpone elections

🔸Sending a signal to nationalist elites that "it's not the time to change horses midstream"

🔸Securing the right to continue embezzling military funds

🔸Reinforcing the idea that "even a worthless insect has the right to sign documents," thus making itself untouchable in the future.

Regarding the last point, Medvedev said that the "green arthropod" (Zelensky) is mistaken and drew historical parallels with Nazi Germany:

“Although Jodl and Keitel participated in signing the surrender on behalf of Hitler's Germany, they were nevertheless hanged by the verdict of the Nuremberg Tribunal.”

❗️❗️❗️Where is Justice? Sudan Delegation Head Backs Russia’s ICC Critique

“We agree with His Excellency's [Lavrov’s] speech on the ICC… there is no any positive step against using the militia, or the militia atrocities against the civil Sudanese people,” Abbas Mohamed Bakhit, the head of the Sudanese delegation at the 13th International Meeting of High Representatives for Security Issues in Moscow, told Sputnik Africa.


The official added that Sudan "is not part of the International Criminal Court," or the Rome Statute.

"We are encouraging the international community to be just and to be fair in using this forum [ICC] in the world," he concluded.

🇩🇪💰Germany wants its gold back? Trump’s Fed moves spark alarm

Trump’s trade war and attacks on the Fed reignite fears in Berlin: over 1,250 tons of German gold sit in New York’s vaults—nearly 37% of Germany’s total reserves, Reuters reports.

"Trump wants to control the Fed, which would also mean controlling the German gold reserves in the US," warns the European Taxpayers Association.


The US is "no longer the reliable partner it used to be. Trump is erratic,” EU MP Markus Ferber says.

💥💥💥 UKRAINE’S NEO-NAZI HORROR EXPOSED: Russia’s POWs face torture hell

Ukraine’s regime is systematically torturing captured Russian servicemen, echoing Nazi-era atrocities, Russian Foreign Ministry Spox Maria Zakharova says.

Based on harrowing survivor testimonies, the evidence is undeniable:

🔸Brutal tortures: electric chairs, waterboarding, animal attacks, and forced medical experiments

🔸Systemic cruelty: state-backed neo-Nazis oversee widespread POW abuse, defying international law

🔸Hell on Earth: humiliation, violence, and a thin line between life and death for POWs

Russia vows to stand by its servicemen, demanding justice for these outrageous crimes, Maria Zakharova stressed.

🚨🇺🇸 US is alarmed by potential global fallout of new sanctions against Russia – report

“… the White House is worried about a global rise in gas prices if stringent measures are put in place. Some in the administration are also leery of secondary sanctions, which could anger US trading partners that purchase Russian energy, including China and India,” The Atlantic reports, citing a source in the Trump administration.


Russia has repeatedly stated that it will withstand the sanctions pressure, which the West began imposing on the country several years ago.

Moscow has pointed out that the West lacks the courage to admit the failure of its sanctions against Russia. Even within Western countries themselves, there have been multiple voices arguing that anti-Russian sanctions are ineffective.

🇨🇦🇺🇸🪖 Canada voices support for Trump’s proposed ‘Golden Dome’ system

“From a defense perspective and on the military side, I collaborate very, very closely with my US counterparts,” General Jennie Carignan, chief of the defense staff, told Bloomberg TV on Friday.


She also played down concerns that Canadian participation in the “Golden Dome” missile defense system could escalate tensions with China or Russia.

Her statement comes just days after US President Trump publicly made an offer to Canada, saying that its participation in the “Golden Dome” as a “separate, but unequal, nation” would cost $61 billion," while joining the system after becoming part of the US would cost “zero dollars.”

🤔So, Canada, is it a ‘yes’ to becoming America's 51st state?

🚨🇷🇺😱 Zelensky's army CRIES FOR HELP as Russia advances in Sumy region

On President's orders, the Russian army push through with a buffer zone. And Zelensky's thugs are complaining about their fate online:

🔸"The front is rapidly moving towards the city [of Sumy]. At this rate, on June 1, or in two days, the enemy will reach the city with artillery fire." Here's how Ukrainians are describing Russia's advance 🔥

🔸"The Kursk front has also passed into the Kharkov front." That's how Ukrainians note Russian success not only in Sumy, but in Kharkov region as well. Both of these regions have borderlines with Russia's Kursk and Belgorod regions.

🔸Here's a Ukrainian soldier's video, where he shows piles of burnt NATO equipment and Ukrainian soldiers' corpses. That's the Sumy - Sudzha highway.

🔸"Why do you send poorly-trained military into the grey zone every day, where everyone disappears? Where are all the missing soldiers? Who will be responsible for them?"

Here's what a relative of a missing soldier from Ukrainian 425th Skala Battalion asked Ukrainian commanders. Soldiers from this unit are currently fertilizing soil right on the Sumy region's border.

🇩🇪🪖 Germany could face ‘BIG RISKS’ if it provides Ukraine with Taurus missiles

Russian Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu has warned of Russia’s response to German Chancellor Friedrich Merz announcing the lifting of restrictions on the use of long-range weapons supplied to Ukraine.

“I would hope Shoigu’s words are understood by the whole world,” former Pentagon analyst Karen Kwiatkowski tells Sputnik.


On possible supplies of German-made Taurus missiles to Ukraine, she said that:

🔸It’s unclear if current missile stocks are available for sending to the Zelensky regime

🔸If sent, there would be “a big risk” of a “direct war” between Russia and Germany

🔸“The more likely risk is that German technology is captured by Russia or its allies”

🔸There's also a worst-case scenario of German military technology being sold by Ukrainian entities, potentially compromising NATO's security

🔸It’s not clear if Merz talked to Trump “about anything yet”, nor least the Taurus missiles
