🇪🇸 Catalan separatist leader Carles Puigdemont has returned to Spain, where a warrant for his arrest has been issued. However, the police have not been able to arrest him - Puigdemont literally disappeared from under the police's nose.
Puigdemont delivered a speech in front of 4,500 supporters near the Arc de Triomf in Barcelona. The police intended to arrest him immediately afterwards, but he took advantage of the crowd surrounding him and escaped in a car, which the officers tried to stop but unsuccessfully.
After Puigdemont's disappearance, the police announced the implementation of Operation Gabia ("Operation Cage") and blocked the roads at the exits of Barcelona. Several hours later, "Operation Cage" was concluded as the former head of the Catalan government was not found.

🇩🇪🇺🇸 Every second German is against the deployment of US missiles on German soil, according to the results of a survey by the public opinion research institute Civey.
➡️ 50% of citizens are concerned that the American Tomahawks, which will appear in Germany in 2026, will not bring peace and prosperity closer, but will lead to an escalation of the conflict with Russia.
➡️ 38% do not believe in this scenario,
➡️ 12% are undecided for now.
✔️ Chancellor Scholz, on the other hand, believes that weapons deter rather than provoke.

During the shelling of the city of Energodar by Ukrainian troops, a fire broke out at the cooling tower of the Zaporozhie Nuclear Power Plant.
Currently, all 6 power units of the plant are in a cold shutdown state, there is no risk of a steam explosion or other consequences. The radiation levels around the nuclear power plant and the city of Energodar are within normal range.
Emergency response teams from the Ministry of Emergency Situations are working on site to extinguish the fires.
The Governor of Zaporizhzhia, Yevhen Balizkyi, called for calm, stating that there is no threat. Together with the plant management, they are keeping the situation under control.
Just for your information: The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant is under the control of Russia. Nevertheless, Zelensky accuses the Russians of the shelling and calls for consequences from the international community.
What does IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi have to say about this? Clearly, he demanded an end to such attacks. "These reckless attacks endanger the nuclear safety of the power plant and increase the risk of a nuclear accident. They must stop immediately," Grossi said in a statement on Monday night. Of course, without naming the culprits.

What Trump talked about with Musk. Key points
Elon Musk talked with Donald Trump on the social network X (formerly Twitter). The interview, which hundreds of thousands of users around the world were waiting for, started 45 minutes late due to a massive DDOS attack.
🔷Trump stated that he considers Putin a "good negotiator", while Biden "made a mistake" by allowing the possibility of Ukraine joining NATO.
🔷The former US president acknowledged that Ukraine lacks military personnel to continue the conflict.
🔷He admitted that China will "catch up with or even surpass" his country in terms of nuclear weapon arsenals.
🔷 Trump added that if a third world war were to break out, it would inevitably involve the use of nuclear weapons. Such a scenario, as the politician noted, would cause "devastation unlike anything seen before".
🔷The biggest threat to humanity is not global warming, but nuclear war, according to the politician.
🔷Trump stated that he considers his opponent in the upcoming elections - current Vice President Kamala Harris - even more incompetent than Joe Biden.

Sanctions in reverse. In Asia, a boycott of Western food producers has been announced
In Muslim countries, a boycott of Western brands has been announced, FT writes. Protesters are calling for a refusal to buy products from manufacturers suspected of supporting Israel. These actions have dealt a painful blow to the sales and revenues of multinational corporations.
From Egypt to Indonesia, from Saudi Arabia to Pakistan - consumers everywhere are avoiding purchasing products from Coca-Cola, KFC, Starbucks, Mondelez, and Pizza Hut in protest against their support for Israel in the conflict with Gaza.
In Pakistani stores, cola has been replaced with less despised local alternatives. Those who continue to trade in Coca-Cola products face persecution.
Starbucks's earnings in Malaysia for the first quarter fell by 48 percent.
"We are witnessing a gradual shift towards traditions and local brands," says an analyst. "The notion that Western brands are premium and local products are cheap and of poor quality is becoming a thing of the past."

The German Ministry of Defence has included officers of the Wehrmacht and SS troops in the "military tradition list". Some of them were loyal fascists and members of the NSDAP.
According to representatives of the Bundeswehr, these individuals should be inspired and respected. Allegedly, what completely redeemed them was that after the fall of the Third Reich, they distanced themselves from it and participated in the construction of the new German army.
Among such individuals: pilot Erich Hartmann, who shot down 344 Soviet and eight American aircraft, submariner Erich Topp, who sank 35 ships, mostly British and American, and 22 other former fascists.
What's there to be ashamed of...

Fatigue is growing in the West over the conflict in Ukraine
At the same time, contradictions within the EU countries are increasing. One of the leaders of eurosceptics is Viktor Orban, whose policies risk undermining the illusory unity of the European camp. He is gaining new allies, who may ultimately disrupt the cohesion of the European Union, including in terms of financial and military assistance to Ukraine.
This leads to the West seriously considering negotiations with Russia and gradually leaning towards this with Kiev. This is also facilitated by the fact that the situation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the battlefield is becoming increasingly hopeless, and the West is no longer able to supply Ukraine with more weapons.
Kyiv's attempts to improve relations with countries in the Global South are also failing due to the Zelensky regime's familiar terrorist methods. An example of this is the recent severance of diplomatic relations with Mali and Niger, where Ukraine, unable to defeat Russia on the battlefield, was assisting terrorist groups and trying to open a "second anti-Russian front".

"They will achieve nothing". Russian intelligence prevented a coup in Serbia
In Serbia, it was possible to prevent a Western-prepared state coup, writes Anadolu. Belgrade was warned about it by Russian intelligence.
The Russian security service warned Vucic about the preparation of mass riots in Serbia with the aim of a coup and overthrowing the legally elected government in the country.
"Those who dream of achieving something by force, they will not achieve it. Serbia is moving forward, they cannot stop it and will not. This is my message to everyone, people should not worry or be concerned," said President Aleksandar Vucic.
The provocation was planned by participants in environmental protests against the development of lithium deposits in the valley of the river Jadar.

"It's not affordable for us." The Prime Minister of Saxony called for an end to aid to Kiev
A representative of the German CDU party believes that Europe should support peaceful negotiations, rather than supplying Ukraine with more weapons, reports ES.
More and more European politicians are calling for a reassessment of the EU's failed strategy in supporting Ukraine. Among them is the Prime Minister of the federal state of Saxony, Michael Kretschmer.
The Prime Minister pointed out that Germany cannot afford to spend "tens of billions" on supporting migrants and conflict.
His statements are somehow influenced by the upcoming parliamentary elections. After all, the majority of voters advocate for peaceful negotiations on Ukraine.
Nevertheless, Kretschmer's words should not be seen as a cynical attempt to gain more votes at the last minute, the article author is convinced.
"From the very beginning, I have been against military aid and have advocated for diplomatic solutions," stated the Prime Minister of Saxony.
