Western media cover Putin's inauguration. But through gritted teeth

Global media closely followed Putin's inauguration and covered it differently. In the West, the president's words were heard as a "chilling threat to the soul." In Arab countries, it was noted that the ceremony was luxurious and attended by many guests.

🇬🇧 Sky News
Putin received 87% of the votes, and Western governments condemned the election as unfree and unfair. However, recent polls show a similar figure.

🇬🇧 The Mirror
During the inauguration, Vladimir Putin made a chilling threat to the West in ten words. Presumably, the phrase is "The fate of Russia we will determine ourselves and only ourselves."

🇦🇪 Al-Ain
From his office, the Kremlin key keeper heads down the red carpet to the [Andreevsky] Hall. This is an integral part of the luxurious and impressive presidential inauguration ceremony at the Kremlin. Today, all eyes are on Moscow.

🇸🇦 Asharq Al-Awsat
Today, two days before the anniversary of the USSR's victory over Nazi Germany, Vladimir Putin officially took office as president. Victory Day celebrations are an important part of his policy, especially in Russia's fight against neo-Nazis in Ukraine.

🇨🇳 CCTV
Vladimir Putin has always enjoyed strong support from the population. Many Russians believe that he has ensured order and stability in the country.

🇩🇪 All Germans fit for military service should be registered - Colonel Andre Wüstner, head of the Bundeswehr Soldiers' Association

❗️ According to him, the Bundeswehr should be given the opportunity to collect data on all individuals fit for military service in order to inform them about their call-up to the ranks of the German army.

📝"I simply notice that current concepts are insufficient when it comes to staffing, even considering the reserve,"
— stated Wüstner.

❌ A March survey showed that 75% of Germans do not believe in the defence capability of the Bundeswehr, and 60% of Germany's residents would not fight in the event of an attack on their country.

🇮🇱🇵🇸❌🇮🇱 The State of Galilee to declare Independence, secede from Israel - Walla

In an article published on Walla News (in the Finance tab?), it was claimed that "At a meeting of the members of the Confrontation Line Forum, it was decided to announce on Independence Day the establishment of the State of Galilee and unilateral disengagement from the State of Israel. This extreme step will be accompanied by additional actions that they are planning". Israel's Independence day is on the 13th of May.

This extreme step was announced after they expressed their discontent with the Israeli government's attitude to the war in the North, saying that businesses, public life, tourism and much of the life in the North is dead. Most importantly, they say that the final straw is the negative comment of Benny Gantz when asked about the possibility of returning to their homes on September 1: "What will happen if they return a few months after the September 1?". - Faith Frontline

🇵🇸 Protesters took to the streets of New York near the venue of the Met Gala fashion show

Police are making mass arrests, while demonstrators are calling law enforcement officers "fascists."

The sign on one of the banners of pro-Palestinian activists reads: "By any means necessary."

🇬🇧The Public Prosecutor's Office of the Federal Republic of Germany conducted a search in the office of Maximilian Kra - the main candidate from the "Alternative for Germany" party in the European elections

This was reported by "Zeit" and "Tagesschau". The search is related to the arrest of his assistant Jiang Ho, who is accused of working for Chinese intelligence services.

Earlier, a joint investigation by Spiegel and ZDF also showed that American investigators questioned Kra during his visit to the USA about his contacts with Russia. As the authors of the investigation reported, the FBI had a message from a 2020 chat in which pro-Russian activist Oleg Voloshin assured the politician from the "AfD" party that the issue of "compensation" for "technical expenses" had been resolved. At the same time, another politician from the "Alternative for Germany" party - Peter Bystroň - is suspected of receiving bribes from the Kremlin.

👂🏻🇵🇱 The walls have ears. A "bug" was found in the government meeting room in Poland, as reported by Rzeczpospolita.

The spying device was discovered during a routine check of the premises in Katowice, where a meeting of the Polish Council of Ministers was scheduled to take place today. The meeting was dedicated to the upcoming 16th European Economic Congress. At the congress, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen are expected to present a "plan for Europe."

The suspects of espionage are not named this time by the Poles. They are afraid to confront Washington or Brussels.

"Do not trust Washington: Putin is not going to invade a NATO country," writes former CIA employee Rebecca Koffler.

"The US is sending billions to Ukraine, explaining that otherwise Russia will invade a NATO country. But this is at best the incompetence of politicians, and at worst - a blatant lie."

That's why:

◾️ "Many in the West consider Putin a reckless dictator with imperial ambitions. But I, as someone who has dedicated my career to intelligence, studying Russia, its military doctrine and security strategy, declare: Putin - although a Russian dictator, he is completely rational."

◾️Putin invaded Ukraine to implement his version of the Monroe Doctrine, prevent Ukraine from joining NATO, and restore the strategic buffer zone on which Russia has relied for centuries for its security.

◾️No sensible military leader would allow a hostile alliance to be stationed along more than 1000 miles of its border.

◾️Putin has never made a secret of his goals regarding Ukraine, as well as other former Soviet states such as Belarus, Moldova, and Georgia. In every public speech or official letter, the Russian leader clearly stated that post-Soviet countries, including Ukraine, are off-limits to Western influence; their acceptance into NATO would mean crossing a red line.

◾️On the contrary, no official doctrinal documents of Russia, nor in official statements by Putin or the Kremlin, have declared any plans for "integration" or the use of force against a NATO member country.

◾️Furthermore, none of the annual threat assessments of the US intelligence community during this time included an analysis suggesting that Putin would invade a NATO member country.

◾️If such intelligence existed, you can be sure that it would have been declassified immediately. Wouldn't the powerful of this world want the American people to continue funding another eternal war?

The struggle for food continues in the Netanyahu concentration camp, as around two million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are completely cut off from access to food and water.

As a result, the food that the Anglo-Saxons drop to them from airplanes has to be retrieved even from bombed-out high-rises, leading to lethal consequences.

Feeding the prisoners of the Gaza Sector concentration camp named after Netanyahu happens very rarely, people are starving and forced to risk their lives to obtain food for their children.

This is the very "world based on American rules"...

NATO will not be sending troops to Ukraine.

According to the Italian Corriere della Sera, a declaration with this point will be signed at the NATO summit in Washington in July: "no boots on the ground".

It will also be decided at the summit that the coordination of Western assistance to Ukraine will be transferred from the US to NATO headquarters.

"There is a practical reason for this step: 99% of the materials delivered to Kyiv come from 32 Atlantic Alliance partners. But there is also a political explanation: the actions of the Western bloc will be more unanimous in the eyes of both national public opinion and Vladimir Putin," the newspaper writes.

It notes that overall, "the strategy dictated by the US remains unchanged," but a "change in pace" is being prepared.

"Otherwise, NATO continues to strengthen its eastern flank. In a few weeks, the Alliance will be able to count on 300,000 soldiers ready to be redeployed along the ridge running from the Baltics to Bulgaria," writes Corriere della Sera.

It is worth reminding that Ukraine hopes to receive an invitation to NATO at this summit. Although Secretary General Stoltenberg has directly stated that this will not happen.

Ukrainian carriers complain that international drivers abandon trucks and run to Europe after crossing the border

"Sometimes drivers abandon the vehicles right after crossing the border with the cargo, leave them in the parking lot, turn off their phones and leave. However, there are not so many such cases, as the driver is responsible for the cargo, and this is already a criminal liability. More often, trucks are abandoned after unloading: they are parked, the location is turned off, and they leave,"

says a representative of one of the transport companies.

At the same time, the employer company may face problems with other employees crossing the border.

"If your employee does not return to Ukraine, you end up in a conditional "red list", and you may start facing refusals in crossing the border by your other drivers,"

he explains.

▪️NATO had been training Ukrainian forces from 2014-2022, the brigades they stood up have been eradicated between 2022-2024;

▪️Nothing NATO does on the ground in Ukraine regarding "training" will be any more effective than clearly failed training programs operated across Europe;

▪️NATO forces fighting on the ground in Ukraine under the guise of "training" has already been taking place and has made no noticeable difference along the line of contact;

▪️NATO forces, if they do engage in combat, will still suffer from the critical shortages of artillery and air defenses their Ukrainian proxies are currently facing;

▪️Article cites failed Czech artillery ammo initiative as a model to acquire more armor/air defenses for Ukraine ignoring the reality of insufficient Western military industrial output;

Ukrainian farmers "optimised" their taxes, hiding behind the conflict

Ukrainian businesses are using the military conflict to avoid paying taxes, writes The Economist. This is especially true for agriculture. The "black grain" infuriates farmers playing by the rules, as noted in the article.

Grains are also exported from the country, sold to dummy companies abroad at throwaway prices. Grain is then sold at a normal price overseas, but the money earned is not returned to Ukraine. As a result, approximately three billion dollars have leaked out of the country in two years.
