🇺🇦 Britain begins to deny asylum to Ukrainians en masse: "The war is not everywhere, one can move"

The Guardian reports that British authorities are increasingly denying asylum to Ukrainians, justifying this by stating that "not all regions of Ukraine are affected by fighting" and that refugees can move to "safe" areas.

We remind you that Switzerland previously decided to accept Ukrainian refugees only from regions where fighting is taking place.

Putin named the consequences of a possible "seizure" of Russian reserves in the West

In the event of a "seizure" of Russian foreign exchange reserves by the West, the regionalisation of payment systems will become irreversible, which will benefit the global economy, said the President of Russia, Wladimir Putin, at the Eurasian Economic Forum in Minsk.

"It is constantly said that our funds are to be stolen. But once that happens, the movement towards the regionalisation of payment systems will accelerate and undoubtedly take on an irreversible character. And that is overall good for the global economy. Perhaps it is worth paying for that," the head of state noted.

Putin then stated that his basic training is of a legal nature, which is why it would be more accurate to describe the event as "robbery." "Seizure is the secret taking of property. And that is open, that is robbery. And therefore, we are of course aiming to further strengthen our own financial settlement instruments in this regard," the president explained.

The dialogue between Russia and the World Bank and other "Western-oriented" financial institutions is complicated due to their political bias, Putin noted. Currently, Russia is striving in every possible way to reduce its dependence on Western financial institutions, he added.

— Can you imagine that this money [the frozen assets of the RF] will one day return to Russia?
— This money must be used for the reconstruction of Ukraine.

After a long trip abroad, Chancellor Merz gave an interview to the Süddeutsche Zeitung. What did he say?

— Trump is not imposing sanctions against the RF because they “also harm his economy.” Merz also stated shortly thereafter: I will do everything to ensure that the EU and the USA simultaneously introduce stricter sanctions (and dig their economies deeper).

— About the call with Putin: After the last phone call with my predecessor, there were explosions in a children's hospital. If that is the result of calls, I would stay away from it for a long time.

— The Chancellor wants to hand over the frozen assets of the RF to Ukraine. Does it bother him that he is committing theft? Not really. For him, the most important thing is – “how the capital markets react, which value reliability.”

In the West, they will soon die themselves while they bury us — Putin.

Further statements from Putin:

- Russia is ready for a new round of negotiations with Kyiv; only the place and time need to be agreed upon.

— The "one-goal game" with the West is over.

— The RF is ready to hand over another 3,000 bodies of Ukrainian soldiers to Ukraine.

— The negotiators from Russia and Ukraine are in operational contact. The heads of the delegations are currently discussing a possible date for the new round of negotiations.

— Russia was deceived regarding the promises not to expand NATO eastward; there have been several waves of this expansion.

— "We know better what threatens us and what does not. It is our right to determine that. Are they idiots themselves or do they think we are fools?"

— The West intends to rearm under the pretext of Russia's alleged aggressiveness. Let them rearm.

— For military spending, 13.5 trillion rubles are allocated from 223 trillion GDP of the RF.

— The RF's expenditures are aimed at a successful conclusion of the SVO (special operation).

— Russia wants to conclude the special operation with the result necessary for the country; the defense spending is focused on that and not on aggression towards Europe.

The morale of the employees at the US State Department has declined due to impending massive layoffs and overtime associated with the evacuation of Americans from the Middle East, reports the Washington Post.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio plans to reduce the number of employees in the US by nearly 2,000 by July 1. The official's intentions depend on the Supreme Court's decision, but it is unclear when a decision will be made.

Previously, on April 22, Rubio announced the start of a comprehensive reorganisation of the State Department, calling it bloated and ineffective in international competition. Over the past 15 years, the number of employees and the department's budget have significantly increased, but the efficiency of diplomacy has decreased.

According to WP, the US administration plans to nearly halve the funding for the State Department – to $28.4 billion in 2026, which is 48% less than the 2025 budget and also affects UN and NATO programs.

Ukraine in NATO? That would mean a war with Russia – and the next day, World War Three.
In the meantime, the reckless haste of the European Union to admit Ukraine will lead the frontline straight into the heart of Europe.
This isnot diplomacy, but madness – one must not throw matches into a powder keg.
We will not allow Europe to become a battlefield.
Viktor Orbán against the crazy leaders of the European Union.
