Russia and Ukraine held their first direct talks in over two years and the Russians used the "peace talks" only as an opportunity to threaten Ukraine with more war. Putin is not interested in a ceasefire or in peace talks and political pressure continues to build on Trump to sanction Russia.

⚡️ Pro-European Nicușor Dan is set to become Romania’s next president. With nearly 99% in, his lead over George Simion is larger than the number of votes remaining — making his victory certain.

The key to peace in Europe is defeating the Russian invasion army and liberating the captive nations. There is no other way.

“The martyred Ukraine is finally awaiting negotiations for a just and lasting peace.” — Pope Leo XIV mentioned our country in his first address following his enthronement. President Zelenskyy and the First Lady are scheduled to hold a private meeting with Pope Leo XIV today.

1/ North Korean soldiers fighting against Ukraine in Russia are reportedly causing problems for the local people, including drunkenness, thefts and attempted rapes. It's being blamed on the unusual degree of freedom that they're experiencing fighting for Russia. ⬇️

Some good news! www.cnn.com/2025/05/18/e...

⚡️ BREAKING: Zelensky meets Pope Leo XIV at Vatican, scheduled to have private talks. The visit marked President Volodymyr Zelensky's first in-person meeting with Pope Leo XIV, formerly Cardinal Robert Prevost, who was elected head of the Catholic Church on May 8.

Romania celebrates the victory of Nicușor Dan. Pictures released by the Romanian president-elect. Congratulations!

Putin’s nuclear threats are a con. For years, Russia has threatened nukes, only to back down when confronted. It’s time we call their bluff. Receipts: youtu.be/INkJD7KLUQk?...

Alongside Russia launching its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Moscow has also ramped up its hybrid attacks across Europe. The Kyiv Independent has compiled a list of suspected sabotage incidents across Europe since February 2022, possibly involving Russia.

On russian Telegram: Russia’s migrant population falling dramatically, thanks to their cultural racism and forced conscription of migrants. 1/3

This is the moment I was invited into Delaney Hall. Nobody was kicking or shoving like the coverage suggests. We were invited in.

"We are winning the war because... intestinal parasites!" - Putin 2nd Army Reality: Video of a makeshift water collection point (puddle) the katsaps were using that is full of hookworms, tapeworms and roundworms. #OSINT

Ukrainian Magura V7 unmanned surface vessel (USV) with two US-made AIM-9 Sidewinger anti-aircraft missiles (originally air-to-air). It is believed that such naval drone with AIM-9 was used to shot down Russian Sukhoi Su-30 fighter jet(s) near Novorossiysk on May 2, 2025.

🇪🇪🇷🇺 Estonia attempted to detain Gabon-flagged JAGUAR tanker from Russian "Shadow Fleet" in Gulf of Finland. The vessel was en route to port of Primorsk. Estonian vessels, AW139 helicopter & M28 Skytruck plane can been seen maneuvering around JAGUAR. Russian Su-27 fighter jet also appears in the sky.

How it started… How it‘s going… Ob Russland weiss, dass Deutschland nicht Kriegspartei ist? 😏🤷‍♂️

A real submissive bottom, this one.

📉⛽ Russia's economy is on the brink as cheap oil sources dry up. The CEO of #Gazprom admits an unprecedented energy crisis. With dwindling resources, sanctions, and falling oil prices, their economy is in freefall. #RussiaIsCollapsing #MakeRussiaSmallAgain #StandWithUkraine

1/ Thousands of Ukrainian civilians still live in destroyed villages under Russian occupation. Their situation is less visible than those in the cities, but a Russian soldier's account gives an idea of an environment where occupiers and civilians co-exist uneasily among ruins. ⬇️

"The Americans have the bombs on planes in Belgium, Germany, Italy, Turkey," Macron said. "We are ready to open this discussion." "I will define the framework in a very specific way in the weeks and months to come," he said.

Chancellor Merz announced today that he intends to upgrade the German Army to be the strongest conventional army in Europe.  I approve that message.

🔥 DAMN! — @benniegthompson to @kristinoem: “I’m glad you found time among your many photo ops and costume changes to testify.”

What we’re watching this week is the President of the United States using his public office to personally enrich himself. He’s using the office we put him in to take bribes from foreign governments. It’s everything our Founders feared. And we’re letting it all happen right before our eyes.

And of course one must assume that the Chinese and Russians as well as the Qataris will have bugged that plane to within an inch of its life.

🔥🔥 Rep. Thompson: “Secretary Noem, I’m glad you found time among your many photo ops and costume changes to testify.”

"Before and after" Russia's "help" in Toretsk, Donetsk region.

⚡️Update: 3 killed, 9 injured in a Russian missile strike on city of Sumy. The number of victims killed rose to three, Sumy Oblast Governor Oleh Hryhorov reported in a post to Facebook at 8:42 p.m.

‼️ Putin is not interested in real peace, but only wants to buy time and avoid new sanctions. 🇺🇦 Zelenskyy is demonstrating a willingness to engage in dialogue – to expose the true essence of Russia’s position to the world community. Read more 👀⬇️ theukrainianreview.info/direct-negot...

One hundred billion pounds every year. Every year. Time to cancel our self-imposed Brexit tariffs and taxes and charges, and rejoin the European Union.

The katsaps are seen performing the combat recovery of a damaged light-blue Moskvich 412 open-air MRAP. Ruzzkiy will go to any lengths to prevent the technology from falling into Ukrainian hands. #OSINT

DeLAURO: Are you planning to break the law by impounding appropriated funds? RFK Jr: If you appropriate the funds, I'm going to spend them D: We have! You're cutting the NIH by $18b. Congress appropriated those funds. How can you justify cutting billions from the biomedical research budget?

Was ich hier mache, mache ich freiwillig, ohne auch nur einen müden Cent zu bekommen. Ich will auch keinen Cent dafür. Wenn ich dann aber für das was ich tue, Klugscheisser-Kommentare bekomme, dann frag ich mich schon, wofür ich das eigentlich mache. 🤨

"Finland is very russian in a lot of ways," says MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk, attempting to justify why Finland shouldn’t have been accepted into NATO. Even Trump wouldn’t say that. This is the level of disinformation and ignorance we are dealing with

Good morning to everyone but the most corrupt president to ever exist, who is at this moment selling out his nation to the funders of terrorism so his boy can sign another $2 billion deal. Oh and Tom Holman

Priorities.

In Russia, a mural costing 1.6 million rubles was painted featuring a soldier from an ad for the Azov Regiment and contract service in the UAF. After an outcry from locals, the image was hastily painted over, even though the contract had included plans for two more murals on nearby buildings.

Secretary Noem appears to not want to say if the picture of Abrego Garcia’s hand is doctored Swalwell: I have a 7 year old, a 6 year old, and 3 year old. I have a bullshit detector. I’m just asking you a question

‼️ Russia: “JSC Rosgeologia has defaulted on the 17th coupon of series 001P-02 floating-coupon bonds in the amount of 115.92 million rubles, the state-owned company reported on its information disclosure feed.” 🍿 Oh dear… www.interfax.ru/russia/1025594

In West & Central Africa, Russian paramilitaries have raped & slaughtered women, kidnapped kids and tortured young men, some of whom were eventually killed. We can’t continue to be quiet about these crimes. African leaders who welcome these mercenaries should also be held liable.

🇪🇺🚫🇷🇺 Ursula von der Leyen: I welcome the agreement on our 17th sanctions package against Russia. We have listed an additional 189 (!) shadow fleet vessels to target Russia's energy exports. This war has to end. We will keep the pressure high on the Kremlin.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com Three Yale professors who have written extensively on authoritarianism are leaving the U.S. “We’re like people on the Titanic saying our ship can’t sink,” Marci Shore said. “And what you know as a historian is that there is no such thing as a ship that can’t sink.”

Yeah, that tracks. @nbcnews.com
