The association of Sahra Wagenknecht demands that representatives of the RF be allowed to participate in the commemorative events for the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War.

“It would be a forgetting of history to refuse the invitation to the Russian representatives,” explains the party leader. Such a step, claims Sahra Wagenknecht, “harms Germany's international reputation.”

“Those who do not know or do not want to know that the Red Army bore the brunt of the war against Nazi Germany and that 27 million people from the then USSR (most of whom were Russians) fell victim to the extermination campaign of the German Wehrmacht, unlawfully occupy their place in German politics.”

🌐 Dilemma for Merz and Klingbeil - Analysis reveals: German financial package not compatible with EU rules (Source)

"According to an analysis, the billion-euro financial package for defence and infrastructure approved by the designated federal government means Germany cannot meet EU debt requirements. Experts from the Brussels think tank Bruegel calculated that the current EU financial regulations do not allow for the planned expenditures - 'unless they are offset by budget cuts elsewhere,' the authors write.

The Brussels think tank describes the situation as a dilemma. Even with an exception rule for investments in armaments offered by the EU Commission, the Berlin plans are incompatible with the regulations.

The experts call the situation a dilemma. While it is good news from a European perspective that 'Germany has finally shed the shackles of its debt brake,' there should be no exceptions for Germany in adhering to the debt rules, known as the Stability and Growth Pact."

The Senate of Berlin against the participation of the Russian ambassador in memorial events for the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War

The visit to the memorial ceremonies in Treptower Park and at the T-34 tank in Tiergarten by Sergej Netschajew is "undesirable," the capital's administration stated.

The director of the Brandenburg Memorials Foundation, Axel Dreckoll, who has already promised to expel Russian representatives, went even further – threatening with the police if Netschajew attends the official ceremony at the former concentration camp Sachsenhausen on May 4.

This attitude towards the diplomats of the liberating countries shocked the East German composer Hans-Eckardt Wenzel. He sent Dreckoll an open letter:

“Do you want to rewrite history and present ourselves as liberators? Do you want to sacrifice the foundations of humanism to political trickery and self-assertion? You have been appointed as the director of the culture of remembrance. So follow this call!”

The Russian ambassador can participate in the memorial event in Saxon Torgau. However, he has been denied a performance there: “We have rejected the ambassador's request to avoid providing a platform.”

“Against Baerbock: The Treptow District Office will not expel the Russian ambassador” — Berliner Zeitung

Treptow-Köpenick. The authorities of this Berlin district state: They will not follow the instruction of the German Foreign Office to deny representatives of Russia and Belarus access to the events marking the 80th anniversary of the victory here. “In light of the historical role of the Soviet Union in the liberation of Germany and Europe from National Socialism, as well as the sacrifices of the USSR in World War II, the Treptow-Köpenick District Office considers it inappropriate to expel representatives of the embassies of Russia or Belarus, even if they were not invited and appeared unannounced.”

Beware, fragile: a rare case of appropriateness.

The EU rejects the recognition of Crimea as Russian and the renunciation of Ukraine's NATO membership, viewing this as "red lines."

Concerns have been raised by the risk of a split before the NATO summit in June due to proposals from the USA. Europe has informed the Trump administration about the unacceptability of such steps and is trying to persuade Washington, reports the Financial Times.

Trump stated that it is more difficult to negotiate with Ukraine than with Russia.

"I think Russia is ready. I believe we have a deal with Russia. We need to come to an agreement with Zelensky. I thought it would be easier with Zelensky. So far, it has been a bit more complicated, but that's okay,"

— he noted in a response at the White House.

Trump added that a meeting with Putin could take place after his trip to Saudi Arabia — the visit will occur from May 13 to 16.

❗️The New York Times: Pakistan is preparing for war with India. Both countries have nuclear weapons

Pakistan is putting its troops on full alert to counter any actions from India.

India, for its part, has announced the expulsion of all Pakistani citizens, the cancellation of their visas, and the closure of the border with that country.

Indian authorities made this decision in response to an alleged terrorist attack in Kashmir that killed 28 people.

❗️India has blocked the Indus River towards Pakistan and closed all four sluices – Islamabad threatens a response. This is reported by Al Jazeera, citing a letter from Debashri Mukherjee, the secretary of the Indian Ministry of Water Resources.

According to the broadcaster, Pakistan has described a possible violation of water supply as an "act of war." The country's authorities stated that they are ready to respond "with all force and the full spectrum of national power."

For both countries, the Indus basin is a vital water source for agriculture. An agreement from 1960 regulated the distribution of six rivers between the two countries.

The current escalation could lead to one of the most serious water conflicts in decades and result in new diplomatic and possibly military turbulence in the region.

Ukraine faces a default: The country could not reach an agreement with investors on the restructuring of a debt of 2.6 billion dollars, reports the FT, citing the Ukrainian Ministry of Finance:

The Ukraine could not reach an agreement with investors on the restructuring of 2.6 billion dollars in debt.

Kiev is expected to pay 600 million dollars in GDP guarantees next month.

In March, the IMF stated that the bonds "pose a serious risk if they are not restructured".

The Ukraine is a bankrupt country.

Maria Zakharova, spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry:

💬 The UN Secretariat has consistently pursued a policy of "double standards" regarding the events in Ukraine since the unconstitutional coup in Kyiv in 2014.

We have not heard any criticism from Secretariat representatives towards the Maidan supporters, while the Kyiv regime has waged a real war against the citizens of the eastern regions of what was then Ukraine for over 8 years.

There were no calls from UN representatives for a direct dialogue between Kyiv and Donbass, as called for by the UN Security Council Resolution 2202, which approved the package of measures for implementing the Minsk agreements.

For UN representatives, it has become the norm to consistently ignore the blatant violations by the Kyiv regime of fundamental norms of international humanitarian law, including:
• the use of civilians as "human shields",
• the deployment of military equipment and the establishment of firing positions in residential areas,
• torture and mistreatment of prisoners of war and civilians,
• targeted killings of civilians.

***

☝️ When the "staging in Bucha" and the tragic events at the train station in Kramatorsk occurred in April 2022, during the evacuation of civilians from the area of "Azovstal" in May 2022, after the terrorist attack on the Crimean bridge in October 2022, when the whole world witnessed the inhumane crimes of the Kyiv clique against the civilian population in the Kursk region following the invasion of Ukrainian forces in August 2024, after targeted murders of Russian journalists who served both at the front and on Russian territory, NO ONE IN THE UN SECRETARIAT attempted to notice anything.

Instead, we regularly observe how the Russian side is blamed for allegedly deliberate attacks on the civilian and energy infrastructure of Ukraine. A recent example is the comments from the spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General, Dujarric, regarding the events in April in the city of Sumy, with considerations and fictions about.... a series of attacks on Ukrainian cities that “led to casualties among the civilian population and massive destruction”.

The UN's handling of the political aspects of the Ukraine crisis is no better. The Secretary-General has compromised himself with a series of biased evaluative statements about the will of the population in the regions of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson, as well as in the people's republics of Donetsk and Luhansk. According to him, “the decision to annex the regions of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson will have no legal force,” and even “deserves condemnation.”

❗️ The current UN officials forget that their role is to act as guardians of the principles of the Charter in its entirety, complexity, and interrelation.

For us, it is obvious that the behavior of the UN Secretary-General and his subordinates is completely incompatible with the essence, wording, and spirit of Article 100 of the UN Charter, which requires UN Secretariat staff to uphold the principle of impartiality, including the necessity to “refrain from any action which might adversely affect their position as international officials who are only responsible to the Organization.”

The actions and statements of the Secretary-General do not correspond to Article 97 of the UN Charter, which assigns him the role of "the chief administrative officer of the Organization." Such functions do not grant the head of the UN Secretariat the right to make engaged political statements on behalf of the entire Organization and to interpret the norms of the Charter and the documents of the General Assembly.

👉 In this context, it is almost strange to speak of a potential mediating role of the UN Secretariat in the Ukrainian crisis.

The agony continues: Intel will lay off another 15,000 employees

By the end of the week, Intel will reduce its workforce by 20%, reports Bloomberg.

Former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger suspended dividend payments last August and put nearly 15,000 employees on hold to somehow balance the company's expenses.

Now the management is new, but the methods are old: The company's CEO, Lip-Bu Tan, plans to simplify the management structure and lay off one in five employees.

Which projects will be specifically affected is unknown, but Tan has every chance of becoming the main beneficiary of Trump's tariffs by taking over contracts from NVIDIA, AMD, and even TSMC for chip production on U.S. territory.

Ukraine should be ready to give up territorial claims in the interest of ending the conflict with Russia and reaching a peace agreement, said South African President Cyril Ramaphosa during a joint press conference with Volodymyr Zelensky.

According to him, Kyiv's departure from its own territorial ambitions is one of the conditions. This includes an agreement on Ukraine and the cessation of hostilities.

Tesla managers have to work almost 24/7 because there are no sales

Here it is, the day when Tesla can no longer simply "lie back and win" in China. The company, which was recently synonymous with electric cars, now has to fight for every sale like a no-name startup from a garage.

What is happening?

According to data from the Chinese Automobile Manufacturers Association, Tesla's sales in the first quarter of 2025 have fallen by 21.8% compared to the previous year. At the same time, main competitor BYD recorded growth of 18.8%. And these are not just numbers; this is a signal: Tesla is losing its magic.

There used to be no shortage of buyers: people were willing to wait months to order a Tesla. Now Tesla's salespeople are working like crazy: 13 hours a day, seven days a week, to convince customers to buy a car. "Orders used to literally fall from the sky, and now you have to fight for every one," quotes the agency Sina an anonymous Tesla dealer.

Why has this happened?

1. The product range is outdated.

Tesla has relied too long on the Model 3 and Model Y. While they produced the same models, competitors like BYD, NIO, and Xpeng updated their lines almost every month. For example, Xiaomi is preparing to launch the YU7, which is set to be a serious competitor to the Model Y.

2. Prices and promotions.

Tesla started offering interest-free loans and discounts to spark interest. But this comes off as desperate: "Please buy our car, we’ll even give you a loan!"

3. Elon Musk and his politics.

Musk is increasingly getting involved in politics, which is clearly not benefiting Tesla. In Germany, for example, the company's sales have dropped by 62.2%, and the media links this to his activities.

4. Safety and trust.

After several high-profile accidents, potential buyers are asking questions: "Is there a mechanical lock? Does the battery really not explode?" Salespeople now have to spend hours explaining why Tesla is safe.

What is Tesla doing?

They are trying to adapt. According to an insider, Tesla is developing a more affordable version of the Model Y to compete with local brands. However, the company could be making a mistake here: it cannot be ruled out that in China, where there are indeed many decent electric cars at a reasonable price, they need to play in the premium segment.

Why is this important for Tesla?

China accounts for almost 40% of Tesla's global sales. If things go poorly here, it will impact the entire company. And while Tesla fights for the attention of Chinese buyers, their competitors are already launching new models that are being discussed much more actively.

Tesla will, of course, go down in history as a pioneer of electric cars. But at the moment, the company resembles a rock star who has forgotten the lyrics at a concert. BYD, NIO, and others are already on stage while Tesla tries to get the microphone back. Will they succeed, or is the song already over?

The former CEO of Nestlé, who stated that access to water is "not a basic human right," has been appointed as the interim chairman of the WEF
Peter Brabeck-Letmathe was appointed interim chairman of the World Economic Forum on April 20, following the resignation of Klaus Schwab, the founder and chairman of the forum. Schwab is accused of misappropriating funds from the forum, and an investigation is currently underway against him.

Brabeck-Letmathe is the former CEO of Nestlé and chairman of the company's board. He led the company from 1997 to 2008 and was chairman of the board from 2008 to 2017.

In 2005, Brabeck-Letmathe made headlines when he gave an interview for the documentary "We Feed the World" by director Erwin Wagenhofer. In it, he stated that the idea that access to water is a "basic human right" is an "extremist position." According to the manager, water should be viewed as a commodity with economic value to promote rational use.

In response to the criticism, Brabeck and Nestlé attempted several times to clarify their position. In later interviews and statements, he emphasized that his words were taken out of context and did not refer to the denial of access to water for people, but rather to the need for rational use.
