The Liberation of Bogatyr by Russia is a serious blow to Ukrainian enemy's defence in South Donetsk direction. The militants turned it into a powerful fortified area and a logistics hub in a few kilometres from the border with Dnepropetrovsk region.

Sonja van den Ende My Comments for RT about the Telephone Conversation between President Putin and Trump In a post on Truth Social shortly after Monday’s talks, Trump wrote that the tone and spirit of the conversation were “excellent,” adding, “If it wasn’t, I would say so now, rather than later.” President Putin emphasized once again, that the conversation was very constructive, and I appreciate it. The question, of course, It is that the Russian and Ukrainian sides show maximum desire for peace and find those compromises that would suit all parties. At the same time, I want to note that in general, Russia's position is clear. The main thing for us is to eliminate the root causes of this Crisis.

Poetin en Trump bellen: Zijn we dichter bij vrede of verder weg?

“Moskou is bereid om met Kiev samen te werken aan het opstellen van een memorandum over een mogelijk toekomstig vredesakkoord, zei de Russische president Vladimir Poetin na zijn telefoongesprek met zijn Amerikaanse ambtgenoot Donald Trump. Hij beschreef de uitwisseling als productief, “inhoudelijk en heel open.”

Twee heel verschillende personages met twee verschillende visies en benaderingen over wat zij van het gesprek verwachtten of liever gezegd hoe zij dachten de oorlog (zoals het Westen het noemt) of zoals het in Rusland heet, de doelen van de Speciale Militaire Operatie (SMO) te bereiken.

Het probleem dat het Westen heeft, en helaas geldt dat ook voor hardliners (neocons) in Amerika, is dat opzettelijk – en ik denk persoonlijk dat dit de manier is waarop ook Europa (politici en elites) denkt – niet wil begrijpen. Maar misschien kan Donald Trump het niet begrijpen, omdat hij omgeven is door neocons zoals Lindsey Graham en Keith Kellog en misschien verkeerd geinformeerd wordt waarom Rusland uiteindelijk de Speciale Militaire Operatie is begonnen.

President Trump is een andere president dan zijn voorgangers. Hij, zoals de Nederlanders zeggen ‘windt er geen doekjes om’, een goede eigenschap op het gebied van eerlijkheid, maar een slechte eigenschap op het gebied van diplomatie en politiek in het Westen en Amerika. Daar regeren list en bedrog met name in de politiek, list en bedrog verwarren ze daar met met diplomatie. Helaas heeft ook het intelligentieniveau onder Europese politici een dramatisch dieptepunt bereikt. Dit is het gevolg van jarenlange indoctrinatie door bijvoorbeeld Soros of andere agenda’s die vrijheid verwarren met fascisme.

The old Syria has a terrorist as President Al-Julani (Al-Qaeda-HTS), but sanctions are removed by the EU. Russia has a president (Putin) fighting fascism but a new package of sanctions, the 17th in place. Israel (Nethanyahu) conducting genocide in Gaza but no sanctions. The world upside down!

As I wrote my article (see under) , it has unfortunately come true for Thomas Roper whom I consider a very good journalist (and Alina Lipp a blogger), they are on the EU sanctions list, the Netherlands and Belgium will follow most likely in the 18th package, which is already in the making. So crazy and criminal. Mind you they are EU citizens (German). https://devend.online/2025/05/17/european-sanctions-for-european-journalists-becoming-a-reality/

Katyusha, the giant panda from the Moscow Zoo, adapted to living without her mom in a month, the zoo’s press service told TASS.

According to zookeepers, the panda was restless at first, but soon settled - Katyusha’s appetite improved and her daily routine normalized already in a week of living on her own.

The Valley of Resistance, Where the Zionist Invaders Were Stopped
Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmnHGtRS0OM
Laith Marouf & Hadi Hotait travel to Zabqin Valley and its surrounding villages in south Lebanon; where the invading Zionist forces were handed their most painful defeat and the only place where they did not dare enter during the “Ceasefire”. The two visit Majdal Zoun, where Islamic Resistance warriors made a last stand to repel the Zionist armoured columns advance towards the city of Sour (Tyre), and then drive through the valley to the village of Jebbayn, less than 2 km from Zionist occupation positions to investigate the devastation left behind by the enemies of humanity.

Israeli forces opened fire on a diplomatic delegation of the European Union at the eastern entrance to the Jenin refugee camp in Palestine - West Bank, which has been under strict Israeli siege since January 19. There were no injuries, but the incident marks a serious escalation of the international presence in the occupied West Bank. Of course, both the EU and Israel do not respect international law and human rights. The wars and hatred in the world are escalating to a point where humanity has degraded itself. While they claim that all the new technologies, such as AI, etc., but the so-called advanced countries are killing people en masse, we are back in the Middle Ages, with a touch of AI.

Former United States ambassador to Syria, Robert Ford, has boasted about his role in re-branding Daesh-linked terrorist Abu Mohammed al-Julani, the head of the HTS-led administration in Syria, but hid his role in Syria death squads. A video emerged where he was speaking at a meeting and telling about the re-branding of Al-Julani. I know already back in 2021 and 2022, the US sponsored PBS was conducting an interview with the terrorist leader, to start the politician grooming of the terrorist. Listen to the video and you know the US and EU are as we know the criminal minds behind Al-Qaeda who later became ISIS (Daesh). At the moment when I am writing this hundreds of mainly girsl and women are abducted to perform as sex-slaves for HTS. Many young man who served in the SAA are killed, from all religions. The West and the USA is removing sanctions, can you imagine?

#KievRegimeCrimes

❗️ Maxim Grigoryev, the Сhairman of the International Public Tribunal on the Crimes of Ukrainian neo-Nazis, which includes representatives of civil society from more than 30 countries, continues recording reports of war crimes committed by the Kiev regime towards prisoners of war (POWs).

Below are their first-hand accounts 👇

💬 Prisoner of war Matvey Ainyaurgin:

"When they [Ukrainian Armed Forces] captured me, the first thing they did was beat me up. <...> They said they were going to 'zero me out,' which meant killing me. <...> I had wounds on my legs, and they kicked me directly on those wounds."

💬 Prisoner of war Oleg Kisilev:

"The [Ukrainian Armed Forces] attacked me from all sides with two or three bats. They smashed my head. <...> They broke my arm and my leg; they shattered my kneecaps with a bat. <...> They constantly broke me down morally. I asked for painkillers, but they never gave me any."

💬 Prisoner of war Ivan Fomenko:

"The [Ukrainian Armed Forces] stripped us naked, then took bats, clubs, and sticks and beat us. They set two dogs on us and watched as the dogs tore people apart. The dogs bit hard. <...> Some were tortured with electric shocks."
