Zelensky on the day of Victory over Nazism published a photo of a Ukrainian military with a chevron of the SS division "Death's Head".

After some time, the team of the Ukrainian president remembered that "there is no Nazism in Ukraine" and edited the post, replacing the photo.

However, in those channels that managed to repost the message, the photo remained the same.

It's disrespectful of BBC to talk over the minute of silence for those that gave their lives in WW2, regards of what people think about Russia at the moment. Poor from BBC

So disrespectful of people in Poland to treat an ambassador of Russia paying respect at the war memorial.

Kiev, with the participation of American and British advisers, planned to seize the island of Zmeiny in the Black Sea.

The plans were thwarted, according to the Russian Defense Ministry.

On the night of May 8, the APU tried to land troops. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation destroyed three armored Ukrainian boats of project 58181 "Centaur" with servicemen of the Ukrainian Navy.

Four Ukrainian planes were shot down in the air, including three Su-24 and one Su-27.

29 Ukrainian UAVs were shot down in the air, including 8 Bayraktar TB-2 attack aircraft. Four of them this afternoon.

Three Ukrainian Mi-8 helicopters with troops on board were destroyed. Plus another Mi-24 helicopter.

During the landing and attempts to consolidate on the island, more than 50 Ukrainian saboteurs were destroyed at sea and on the coast. 24 bodies of dead servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine remained on the shore of the island of Zmeiny.

https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202205/1265192.shtml Shen Yi, a professor at the School of International Relations and Public Affairs of Fudan University, told the Global Times that Friedman had delivered the message clearly that Ukraine should serve US interests, not the other way round, and all those who want to latch on to the US and believe the US can be hijacked, be it today's Ukraine or the island of Taiwan in the future, are only having fond dreams.

"The US has no guts. It fans the flames, but dares not shoulder responsibilities. The US' strategic calculations in the Ukraine crisis shows that it is outwardly strong but inwardly weak," remarked Shen.

Ukraine should realize that it is the victim of the geopolitical game in which Washington is indulged. Ukraine is paving a bloody path for Washington's geopolitical interests at the cost of its own national development and people's livelihood, but wild-minded Washington is taking full advantage of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. It is spilling the conflict to the Indo-Pacific region and creating wars and chaos across the globe. Ukraine should wake up to this cruel reality.

American journalist Robert D Kaplan: "Ukraine itself for many years has been a weak, corrupt, institutionally underdeveloped basket case of a democracy." Reporters Without Borders ranked it 97th out of 180 in its 2021 World Press Freedom Index.

Estonia. The bronze soldier.

A lot of flowers were brought by people to the monument to the heroes who fell during the liberation of Tallinn.

Videos from social networks.

53% of Americans believe that the US anti-Russian sanctions are more harmful to America than to Russia.

Such results were shown by a poll conducted jointly by the American-British Democracy Institute and the British Daily Express.

The media has already called the results of the study "shocking.

It is noteworthy that the vast majority of Americans do not consider Russia the worst of evils.

42% consider China to be the main threat to the United States, 20% — Iran, 18% — North Korea and only 16% — Russia.

🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡As many as three "Daggers" hypersonic missile were fired at Odessa on a "tourist site"

We give a hint: the tourist site was probably called “Apartments by the Sea”, and foreign operators of M777 howitzers were stationed there, which were planned to be transferred to the south of the region in order to hit the Snake Island
