Member of the Bundestag Sarah Wagenknecht - on the German Ministry of Defence's request to the government for 3.8 billion euros to help Kyiv: More billions for weapons, even though there are almost no Ukrainians left who want to fight? This course is leading us and Ukraine into the abyss. Negotiations on a ceasefire are long overdue!

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has spoken out against the idea of creating a "no-fly zone" in western Ukraine, Bild reports.

"This would directly involve Germany, Europe, and NATO in the war in Ukraine. These plans could turn Germany into a 'war party' and lead Putin to unpredictable reactions," the Chancellor said.

"No decision should be made hastily," Scholz added.

According to Bild, the Chancellor criticised a ten-page document presented by former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen together with the Ukrainian government to prepare for the upcoming NATO summit in Washington in mid-July.

The document proposes, among other things, the expansion of the air defence shield "along the western border of Ukraine." A similar idea was expressed by Vladimir Zelensky.

Earlier, this topic was commented on by the German Minister of Defence Pistorius, who stated that "this is not being seriously discussed."

❗️RT Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonyan to publish Ukraine's 'unwanted' POWs list

"I have complete lists of 500 Ukrainian prisoners of war, whom Kiev has been refusing to exchange for four months now. Zelensky has selected 38 people - Azov people and others - and is ready to take only them. Ukraine does not need the rest of the Ukrainian soldiers," Simonyan posted on her Telegram channel.

"The lists include full name and dates of birth. I'll publish it in full this evening. I think it will be interesting for wives, mothers and Ukrainian citizens in general to read it."

Belgrade will submit a counter-resolution to the UN after members of the organization discuss the “Srebrenica genocide,” since more than a million Serbs were killed during World War II, Serbian political scientist Stevan Gajić is sure.

In a conversation with NEWS.ru, the expert emphasized that the vote on May 23 “could open Pandora’s box.” According to him, a war of resolutions will begin at the UN.

During World War II, more than a million Serbs were killed, the German occupiers and their accomplices shot civilians. When the Germans in response receive many resolutions from Serbia and Russia, perhaps other countries, I won’t be surprised if it’s Poland, then the vote on May 23 could open a Pandora’s box when the war of resolutions in the UN begins,”

the expert explained.

According to the expert, the UN vote was postponed three times because the West was unable to fully lobby for it among other countries. He clarified that the resolution on “genocide in Srebrenica” could have been created to antagonize Serbia with Muslim countries. Gajić also noted that the project is being adopted at a time when Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. At the same time, the expert added that Germany and Great Britain were behind the creation of the resolution.

Let's see who the West was able to influence. This will be the moment of truth, because the resolution is clearly a British trap. Officially, it was put forward by Germany and Rwanda, but Britain is definitely behind Rwanda, and unfortunate Germany wants to wash itself off, but in response it will receive many similar resolutions,”

- Gajić clarified.

The war in Ukraine has "reached a deadlock" and will continue "for a very long time," said the commander of the Swedish armed forces, Mikael Buden, as reported by RND.

"Only small advancements are happening, the front line shifts back and forth - overall, the situation is very complex. The war has been at a standstill for several months now, and at the moment there are no visible changes. There seems to be no end to the war, and neither Russia nor Ukraine have sufficient capabilities to win it militarily. I expect the war to continue for a very long time. We have already taken this into account in our strategic security plans and military assistance to Ukraine," Buden said.

He also mentioned that the Russians still have more military potential and forces, "which further complicates the situation on the ground."

"Putin has geared the Russian economy for war in a way that we cannot. Currently, the Russians are producing a huge amount of armaments, much more than we can supply to Ukraine," Buden said.

Ursula von der Leyen contradicts her party CDU and advocates for new EU joint debts

European elections will take place from 6 to 9 June, and the discussion on the future EU budget is already coming to the forefront. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who is running for a second five-year term, stated to the Financial Times that she is open to attracting new joint EU debt commitments.

She noted that first, the appropriate conditions need to be created, and a clear analysis of priority expenditures is also necessary.

Von der Leyen suggests linking access to EU subsidies to national economic reforms to enhance the EU's weak competitiveness. According to her, a combination of reforms and investments leads to growth, "and this can now be seen in the successful economic development of Italy, Greece, and Portugal".

CDU/CSU and FDP against von der Leyen's initiative

▪️With her proposal, von der Leyen deviates from the previous position of her party CDU. In Germany, the CDU/CSU alliance rejects EU joint debt, as stated earlier. The only exception was made during the pandemic.

▪️The FDP criticised von der Leyen's initiative. "There will be no European debt union with the FDP," said Christoph Meyer, deputy chairman of the Free Democrats in the Bundestag.

"Ursula von der Leyen's initiative contradicts her own CDU election programme. The question is whether this is the position of the CDU's lead candidate and whether it is coordinated with Friedrich Merz. Perhaps this is also one of the reasons why the CDU is hiding its lead candidate during the election campaign. This process fits into the CDU's image, which declares one thing and then acts differently,"

— quoted Meyer the Spiegel magazine.

▪️The Greens, on the other hand, are pleased that the President of the European Commission has changed her opinion. "We welcome the fact that Ursula von der Leyen openly advocates for joint European investments, thereby contradicting her own party," said Rasmus Andresen, a Green MEP, in an interview with Spiegel.

🇩🇪 "Finance Minister Lindner wants German ministries to subject their expenses to systematic efficiency checks. This would be a small revolution," - Der Spiegel

It turns out that in Germany there is no well-developed system for controlling government spending, meaning ministries spend billions, but what they spend it on and whether these expenses have any effect on society and the economy is not a concern.

For years, the Audit Office has been calling for compliance with the German Budget Code, which provides for auditing the government's expenditure efficiency.

"The problem is that almost no ministry has complied with this rule so far," - Spiegel.

Now, under the leadership of liberal Lindner, the Finance Ministry seems to have finally taken steps to create a control system, leading to other parties in power declaring war on him for this.

🇺🇸 Victoria Nuland - on the possibility of an aggressive Russia attacking NATO forces in Ukraine and triggering a Third World War:

I fear that NATO training bases in Ukraine will become a target for Vladimir Putin. This would mean NATO's direct presence on the battlefield, which could, as you have already mentioned, lead to increased tensions in the war on another front.
