Russian media report that, in a stunning display of coordination, all mobile operators in Moscow decided to take a break exactly when the Victory Day parade rehearsal was underway. One might say the networks were just paying tribute — by disappearing.

⚡️🇺🇦 Ukrainian soldiers took part in the London parade marking the 80th anniversary of Victory in WWII. As they marched past the royal box, they were greeted with applause, and King Charles III honored them with a military salute.

It doesn’t sound like Russia’s ready to end the war. One Russian paper today: “A ceasefire doesn’t mean we abandon our objectives anytime soon…it’s possible N.Korean soldiers will play a part in routing Ukraine's army.” Plus, Sergei Lavrov’s (long) list of conditions. #ReadingRussia

Meanwhile, Russian Z-channels are deeply baffled by how Trump can abruptly shift his views out of nowhere.

A Russian soldier, wounded in combat, tearfully discovers the harsh consequences of his so-called "heroism" in the "SVO." Now helpless, he urges his comrades not to go fight.

Our hero Oleh Shaman shared his thoughts about the different attitudes to the soldiers in the Ukrainian and russian armies. Our goal is to raise $110,000 for 15 drone jammers, so that Oleh and his comrades don’t have to endure the pain of losing their brothers-in-arms: dzygaspaw.com/projects/sav...

Meanwhile in Russia: state TV host Olga Skabeeva was delighted with Trump's "peace proposal." Even Russian propagandists are stunned by everything the Trump administration is willing to do for Russia. This and more in my latest article, linked below ⤵️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lvr...

🎯 72 hours of blackout. For 3+ days, Russian comms provider UIS—used by 15,000 businesses—was crippled by DDoS. Voice, CRM, analytics: offline. Clients panicked, support silent. 👏 Respect to the planners—and every volunteer who kept systems alive. That’s real pressure. #Resist #Join ✊🇺🇦

❗️Zelensky reposted a 2018 statement by former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo: “The U.S. reaffirms its policy of non-recognition of the Kremlin’s claims of sovereignty over territory seized by force.” A timeless reminder: Might doesn’t make right.

Well, just saying🤔

Explosions hit the 51st GRAU arsenal in Russia's Vladimir region, destroying 100,000 tons of ammunition. Glide bombs, artillery shells, rockets for multiple launch systems, and air defense components were lost. This depot was one of the largest in Russia. Burning nicely.

Big trouble for Russia at the 51st GRAU arsenal near Kirzhach — Ambulances are rushing in, and the local emergency service is telling people: seriously, stay out of the area. The regional governor says journalists and bloggers might get fined just for talking about it.

Russian forces are slowly retreating from the western outskirts of Pokrovsk after failing to cut off the Dnipropetrovsk–Pokrovsk highway - Viktor Tregubov, spokesperson for the Khortytsia operational-strategic group said. A turning point came when Ukrainian forces recaptured Kotlyne.

Operation: Easter cake for everyone everywhere.

Meanwhile in Russia: state TV pundits on Vladimir Solovyov's show took turns mocking Trump. They applauded the damage he is doing to the U.S. and the world order and urged him to keep going for as long as possible. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCX9...

FT: Germany is willing to send Taurus long-range missiles to Ukraine, Friedrich Merz has said. Merz also denounced a Russian attack on the Ukrainian city of Sumy on Sunday as “a serious war crime” and said that Kyiv needed help to “get ahead” in the conflict. www.ft.com/content/c8c5...
