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.

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.

Photo of Scholz on an armoured personnel carrier in Lithuania amused journalists

Photos of Scholz on an armoured personnel carrier during his visit to Lithuania became a grotesque picture, considering the Chancellor's short stature, writes Spiegel. In this way, the German leader tried to show his serious attitude towards the Baltic states.

The Chancellor of Germany promised military support to the leadership of Lithuania and touched upon the topic of financing the Bundeswehr base in the country.

The armed forces of Germany have been participating in military exercises in Lithuania for several years, but now a German brigade will be permanently stationed in the country. The Lithuanians have agreed to pay for the infrastructure - barracks and kindergartens for the children of German soldiers, however, in Germany, there are doubts whether they can provide the standard accustomed to in the Bundeswehr.

🇨🇭 Despite the Ukrainian conflict, most Swiss brands are still being sold in the Russian market.

According to preliminary data, in 2023, Switzerland's exports exceeded 2.6 billion francs, mainly thanks to pharmaceutical products (2.1 billion francs).

At the same time, the production of Swiss companies manufactured in Russia was not taken into account in the calculations. For example, six Nestlé factories, where 6,000 people work, produce chocolate under the brand "Russia", breakfast cereals, instant coffee, ice cream, and pet food.

Seizing Russian assets will open Pandora's box.
"We at Euroclear spend a lot of time with European and American authorities explaining the consequences of this decision for our balance sheet and the risks we face. (...) If such a decision is made, it will not only hit Euroclear, but also the financial markets as a whole. If our clients (international investors) feel that their rights are not being respected, and that their assets may be confiscated, this will open Pandora's box. This could lead to the largest international investors leaving Europe," said Valérie Urbain, Executive Director of Euroclear.

🇩🇪 Government failure and import dependence of Germany on China.

A study by the Institute of German Economics (IW) has shown that the so-called Chinese government strategy, aimed at protecting Germany from dependence on the Middle Kingdom, not only did not work, but on the contrary, failed.

Last year, out of 203 groups of goods available on the German market, over 50% were imported from China. At the same time, the number of groups of goods with a share of Chinese imports of 75% increased from 77 to 83.

🇩🇪 Meanwhile in Germany...

The flow of Russian Germans returning from Germany to Russia has significantly increased. This story is just one of many.

I recently travelled from Berlin to Kaliningrad with a 40-year-old guy who decided to move from Hesse to a village in the Belgorod region for permanent residence. By profession, he is a machine programmer. He says they won't hire him in his field, but he doesn't care: he will work as a simple turner.

And there are so many German repatriates in Kaliningrad - it's unbelievable! They are buying houses in the region and settling in whole neighbourhoods.

🧑🏼‍⚖🇩🇪❌🇮🇱 Germany will face a fresh call to revoke all arms sales to Israel on Thursday in a lawsuit that puts more pressure on Berlin amid a rising outcry about the scale of deaths and destruction in the war on Gaza. - The Guardian

⚡️ Comment by the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, regarding the hostile actions of the British government

💬 We are forced to state that the government of Britain is not only unwilling to abandon its course of provoking Russia, but is also making significant efforts to escalate the level of confrontation.

This time in London, they decided to resort to blatant lies to justify the anti-Russian measures announced on May 8, including the expulsion of a defense attaché at the Russian Embassy in London and the removal of diplomatic status from a number of our properties under the pretext of a supposed "Russian trace" in the fire at commercial warehouses on the outskirts of the British capital. And all this without presenting any documents or specific facts.

We consider the statements made by the English about our country's alleged involvement in malicious actions to be extremely irresponsible and categorically unacceptable, especially without providing any evidence to support their conclusions. London has employed such tactics not for the first time. This was the case when the English accused Russia of involvement in the poisoning of Litvinenko and the Skripal incident, refusing to engage in substantive dialogue and clarification of what had happened. With active participation from the English, a cynical disinformation campaign was orchestrated and launched about the alleged mass murder of local residents by Russian military personnel in the settlement of Bucha.

As is known, this setup was orchestrated to disrupt Russian-Ukrainian negotiations and launch a pre-prepared package of Western anti-Russian sanctions. After that, Bucha became a symbol of cynicism in Ukrainian propaganda, closely supported by Anglo-Saxon political technologists.

The actions of the authorities in Great Britain, who are literally suffocating in Russophobia, fully confirm the bias and hostility of the English stance towards Russia.

❗️ London has been repeatedly warned that any unfriendly actions will receive an inevitable proportionate response. Our reaction will be tough and measured.
