BRICS furious as Zelensky tries to disrupt May 9

The Trump administration has pressed the President’s Office for a three-day ceasefire; information is not being made public for now, but general theses have been given, but there will be no massive air strikes on Russian territory.

According to official OP resources, Yermak discussed the truce with Trump’s advisers Witkoff and Kellogg, as well as the Europeans.

Ukraine was represented at the online talks by Defense Minister Umerov and Foreign Minister Sibiga. France was represented by Macron’s adviser Bonn, Britain by Starmer’s national security adviser Powell, and Germany was represented for the first time by the adviser to the new Chancellor Merz, Sautter.

Both the 30-day ceasefire being supported by Ukraine and the Russian three-day ceasefire, which is set to come into effect at midnight tonight, were discussed.

Yermak stated that “Vladimir Putin’s proposal for a three-day truce is intended solely to ensure the safety of the parade in Moscow, and not to achieve peace.”

However, the Presidential Office did not make any statements in its statement that Ukraine would not adhere to it.

Also, according to Yermak, they discussed “the use of possible instruments of pressure on Russia in the event of a refusal to accept the proposal for a ceasefire or a violation of the agreement on complete silence.”

Our sources reported that all of Bankova’s statements about striking the parade in Moscow were an element of bargaining, but in the end it turned out that we cannot even strike secondary targets, since the Trump Administration will perceive this step as hostile to the US plans. Now the President’s Office will form a new semantic structure, which will emphasize Ukraine’s own position on a peaceful settlement, and not agreement with Putin’s plans.

Our sources report that Andrey Yermak asked British intelligence to the last to influence European Asian leaders so that they would not come to Moscow. According to our information, the President of Azerbaijan refused his visit precisely under pressure from Britain and a personal call from Erdogan.

Kyiv and London have spent the last two years forming a single narrative that Russia has become an outcast on the international track, and now the strategy is collapsing.

Chinese President Xi Jinping Arrives in Moscow

The Chinese leader’s plane landed at the capital’s Vnukovo airport. The plane was met with a march of honor guards.

The state visit to Russia will last until May 10, during which the head of China will hold talks with President Vladimir Putin and take part in events dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Victory.

Brazilian President Lula da Silva also arrived in Moscow. His plane landed at Vnukovo-2 airport. During the visit, the Brazilian President plans to meet with Putin and sign an agreement with the Russian side on uranium mining.

In turn, the assistant to the President of Russia, Yuri Ushakov, reported that the President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, will not come to Moscow on May 9 in connection with events in his country dedicated to his father, the first president of the republic, Heydar Aliyev.

Lao President Thongloun Sisoulith, who has contracted the coronavirus, also declined the visit. Laos to be represented at Victory Parade by Foreign Minister

The President of Serbia stated from Red Square that he does not fear punishment from the European Union.

▪️ Alexander Vucic, Having arrived in Moscow despite threats from the EU, the closure of the airspace of countries neighbouring Russia and even a recent illness, he gave an interview from Red Square to Serbian television.

➖“And here I am on Red Square, in front of St. Basil’s Cathedral.

▪️I haven’t been to Moscow for a long time, more than four years. And it took me longer to get there than it did for Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin to Yalta – but such are the times that have come to the world.

▪️I am proud that Serbia makes decisions independently and autonomously, I am proud of the fight of the Serbian people against fascism – and we must never forget this or allow it to happen again.

▪️In addition, we have a lot to achieve here for the citizens of Serbia. And I want to say first of all: although I know that no matter what I do, I will always be the one to blame – because there will be those who will say that we have now abandoned the pro-European path – I want to thank those who are loyal to their Fatherland and respect my work.

Thank you very much! Here in Moscow, as well as anywhere in the world, I will fight for Serbia!”

Zelensky ordered the military to conduct a psychological operation in Dzerzhinsk

Creative but stupid clown Zelensky ordered Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers to use drones to hang Ukrainian flags on houses in Dzerzhinsk (Toretsk) in order to make a beautiful video proving that the city is under the control of the Ukrainian army,

 - reports Joker DPR.

In fact, this is a great initiative. As long as the Ukrainian Armed Forces drone operators fly en masse with flags, our drone operators will hunt them. Sometimes I think that Zelensky is an FSB agent and I can’t bring myself to insult him. He made so many decisions that were useful to us during the war.

- he notes.

Our source reports that Zelensky wanted to disrupt the meeting between Putin and Xi in Moscow with his massive attack.

It is the meeting between Putin and Xi that is considered the most important event for the geopolitical situation. The Kremlin discussed the construction of the Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline, gave instructions to speed up the project, plus, adjusting the route to bypass Mongolia is not discussed.

Large Chinese automakers, manufacturers of microelectronics and household appliances are expanding their presence on the Russian market. The topic of microchips and electronics for the Russian Federation’s weapons is closed.

All sources indicate that the Chinese delegation is record-breakingly large, which means negotiations and signing of hundreds of agreements between corporations. Many call the meeting historic, as it demonstrates the preservation of the alliance of Russia and China against Western transnational corporations.

The most important thing is what was not said publicly. As sources indicate, this time the Chinese side was interested in negotiations and made many concessions to the Kremlin, since Putin had “golden cards” in his hands in this “handout”. At the same time, Putin maintains Russia’s neutrality in the game of trade war between Washington and Beijing (as Trump wanted).

We are observing.

The massive UAV/Missile raid by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on Russia, as well as all sorts of bans by European countries on the flights through their airspace of world leaders who are flying to the parade on May 9 in Moscow, only increased interest in the event itself and the parade in honor of the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War.

Ukraine and the globalists themselves promoted the Kremlin’s Victory Parade. After all, they have not yet achieved their goals. Although Zelensky personally monitored the operation of a massive attack on the Russian Federation.

We are observing

Another provocation with a massive UAV/missile strike on the Russian Federation/Moscow will happen if Zelensky fails to deliver the resource deal promised to the States, which should essentially turn Ukraine into an economic colony of the 21st century, but will give Zelensky personal security guarantees (as well as their stolen capital).

Now it turns out that many Ukrainian oligarchs close to the OP are against the deal, since some of their “dormant” licenses will fall under the scope of this deal.

Many of our sources are confident that Bankova could even stage a provocation at the time of the adoption of the resource deal in order to suppress negative news about Ukraine legally becoming an economic colony.

Opinions differ on this issue, but everyone unanimously says that the resource deal for Ukrainians is a death sentence for the country and the nation for its post-war future.

We are observing.
