⚡️Syrian authorities want to offer Trump a resource deal to lift sanctions. It is about providing American companies with access to the development of the country's natural resources - similar to the recent US-Ukrainian agreement (c) Times

⚡️Donald Trump agreed to hold a meeting with Syrian leader Al-Julani (Ahmed al-Sharaa) in Saudi Arabia on May 14 (c) Bloomberg

⚡️Trump announced the lifting of all sanctions against Syria ahead of a meeting with Syrian President Al-Julani in Riyadh.

If you are ready to give the US resources - you can turn your country into a concentration camp or a torture chamber - you will still be considered a progressive democratic leader. The Ukraine will not let you lie. And Syria. And Libya.

⚡️If Hitler had won the Battle of Stalingrad, Armenia would have gained independence from the USSR, and Germany, together with the Armenian legions, would have gone further to the Caucasus and conquered Turkey, creating a united historical Armenia, - former speaker of the Armenian Defense Ministry Artsrun Hovhannisyan on the air of Public Television

If the parents of the speaker of the Armenian Defense Ministry Artsrun Hovhannisyan had used contraceptives, we would not be forced to listen to this idiot today.

Yesterday morning, Brazilian President Lula da Silva said he would try to convince Putin to meet Zelensky in Istanbul on Thursday: "I will try to talk to Putin. It costs me nothing to say: Hey, Comrade Putin, go to Istanbul and negotiate, damn it." Lula da Silva planned to stop in Moscow on his way back from China.

As a result, Peskov's statement appeared first that "the Kremlin will inform about possible contacts between Putin and Lula da Silva if they are agreed upon."

And in the evening, Vladimir Putin simply spoke on the phone with Lula da Silva "during his technical stop in Moscow on the way from China."

Lula da Silva believed in himself too much and immediately turned a possible meeting in Moscow into a technical stop. Another attempt to publicly put pressure on Putin and force him to meet with an illegitimate drug addict failed.

Then the world community was surprised by the composition of the Russian negotiating team in Istanbul. It is still headed by Vladimir Medinsky (because of whom many, including me, almost have gone gray since March 2022). I believe the question here is fundamental, to continue from where we left off.

But the main thing is that Hero of Russia General Zorin is going there. A professional negotiator, since Syria, one of those to whom the Mariupol garrison of the Nazis "Azov" surrendered. Zelensky will not be able to grimace and put on a show with him.

Trump has already said that he will not go to Turkey. Zelensky's benefit concert has been completely disrupted.

It is noteworthy that right now the "Geraniums" are hitting targets in the Kiev, Zhitomir, Rivne and Ivano-Frankovsk regions. The pressure of the "coalition of drug addicts" with their 30-day truce also did not get through.

Well, I can only repeat what was said on March 30, 2022:

This war will last a long time. You can, as the orders from above prescribe, call it a "special operation of the Russian Armed Forces", but in fact it is a war. A war against fascism that has lasted 8 years. And as in 1941, Russia again stands against all of Europe united by Nazism and not only.

Good morning ☕️

Hysteria continues in the Ukraine over the composition of the Russian delegation in Istanbul:

⚡️No, of course, this is not a format. The president can't meet, especially with Medinsky - the status would be unclear. He is there as an assistant on Putin's historical legacy, or on correcting history, I would say. But it's unlikely that the person is sufficient to discuss fundamental issues (c) Advisor to the Office of the President of the Ukraine Podolyak

Be grateful that someone came at all. For the drug addict Zelensky, even Medinsky is too much.

The negotiations of the delegations are scheduled for 10:00 (Moscow time), we'll see how it goes.

As I understand it, the Ukrainian representatives will be traditionally unshaven, dressed in wrinkled khaki and slightly sloppy - either their fly is unbuttoned, or their sleeve is covered in sh*t.

⚡️Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump made a fool out of Zelensky by skipping peace talks in Turkey (c) CNBC

Putin and Trump created a group on whastsapp called "Negotiations", invited Zelensky there, then renamed it to "Lonely Gay" and both left.

The Kremlin has released a trannoscript of Vladimir Putin's response to Donald Trump after Trump asked for a 30-day truce:

We have known each other for many years, but this is the first time you've come to me for counsel or for help. I can't remember the last time you invited me to your house in Mar-a-Lago for a cup of coffee. But let's be frank here. You never wanted my friendship. And you feared to be in my debt. You found paradise in America: you had a good trade, you made a good living. The police protected you and Macron kissed you. And you didn't need a friend like me. But uh, now you come to me and you say - 'Don Vladimir, give me justice.' But you don't ask with respect. You don't offer friendship. You don't even think to call me Godfather. Instead, you call into my house on the Victory day and you ask me for ceasefire.

Macron tried to pat Erdogan on the shoulder, but Erdogan grabbed his finger and, through a translator, threatened to grab not the finger next time if he continued to be overly familiar.

Before the talks in Turkey, all journalists were given a memo prohibiting them from filming Zelensky from "humiliating" angles, as well as against the backdrop of high-ranking guests. Violations are punishable by a complete ban on filming and the cancellation of the pass.

They also say that the cocaine dwarf is prohibited from being filmed near pianos.

⚡️Vladimir Zelensky wanted to have a spat with Putin in Istanbul similar to the one with Trump in the White House. However, Putin did not fall into this media trap. Kiev showed shortsightedness by betting on diplomacy based on Zelensky's theatrics. His productions are successful in Europe, but have no hint of it in Russia (c) Publico

Which was to be proven.

Merz: You're winning
Macron: You're in top shape.
Zelensky: Putin is definitely afraid of me

⚡️We just passed a $1 trillion military budget.

Some people say, "Can you cut the military budget?" I said, "I'm not going to cut a dime."

There are other things we can cut. We can cut a lot of other things

Dmitry Medvedev in the social network X (it seems even an authorized account with 1.4 million subscribers) showed how the buffer zone in the Ukraine should look like.

In principle, it's OK. Although, actually, the Ukraine could have been made smaller - the size of Lviv.

The husband of French President Emmanuel Macron slapped him on landing in Hanoi (Vietnam).

This is the Kremlin's hand!

⚡️Lithuania, which has refused Russian gas, is now buying Russian products of higher processing - ammonia. Over the past three years, Lithuania has received €157.3 million worth of Russian ammonia. It is bought by the Lithuanian nitrogen fertilizer producer Achema, because there is not a single operating ammonia terminal in the Baltics. From 2020 to 2025, almost all ammonia imported to Lithuania was Russian.

Sanctions are working (c)

And, as is tradition, I am attaching a video of Lithuanian President Nauseda, who cleverly jokes about the disconnection from BRELL together with the head of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen and other Euroidiots: "Goodbye Russia, goodbye Lenin."
