Disaster for Ukraine: Siversk Front Crumbles in Donbas!

Ukraine is ready for a complete ceasefire for 30 days from May 11

This was reported to Trump.

Bargaining is underway, with each side pushing its goals forward under a temporary truce.

The arrival of the “leading players” of the globalists in Kyiv signals that they will prolong the war. In order to disrupt Trump’s peace case.

That’s why the media threw out the topic that they came to Ukraine to work out a common concept for a 30-day truce. This is a lie. They came for a different reason.

Everyone understands that even if there is a ceasefire, it will be poorly implemented, the negotiation process will drag on, and the Ukrainian Armed Forces will be able to accumulate manpower and UAVs in 2-3 months to attack in the fall. It will be easy to break the ceasefire under any invented reason. The globalists will abandon the Kremlin at any moment, as they did before.

The Kremlin is now being scared that if they refuse to agree to this truce, the US and EU may impose tough sanctions. Although all experts are confident that Russia is no longer afraid of sanctions like in 2022. Experts also add that if the US and EU begin to impose the last sanctions against Russia, this will strengthen the alliance of China and the Russian Federation, which is not beneficial for Washington and the same globalists.

It is worth adding that this year Europe and Ukraine will be even more dependent on Russian gas, which means that all their threats are a negotiating bluff.

We are observing.

The globalists’ response was not long in coming, the whole plan with the 30-day truce is necessary for one thing, to intercept the agenda that Putin actively occupied with the Easter and May truce.

Trump and I will step up military aid to Ukraine if Putin refuses to cease fire – Keir Starmer

If Russia does not agree, a new package of sanctions is already ready. We will communicate and prepare together with the US, – Macron

The only question that remains is, what if Russia was just waiting for this to play on our initiative? What if Putin once again uses asymmetric methods and implements a strategy like the Kursk Gambit? In fact, after two ceasefires, we were forced to agree to a tactical ceasefire, under which the implementation of Trump’s plan will proceed.

Our sources reported that today the leaders of Britain/France and Germany gave guarantees of continued military aid to Ukraine during the temporary ceasefire.

Macron has ruled out agreeing to stop military aid to Ukraine during the ceasefire.

“There are no preconditions. As well as the cessation of arms supplies for defense and resistance for you [Ukraine],” he told Zelensky at a meeting of the “coalition of the willing” in Kyiv.

Today’s portion of Medvedev treatment

What will a typhus louse with a cocaine nose do if it receives a message that our country can no longer “guarantee the safety of the stay” of the European leaders who arrived in Kiev today?

Okay, don’t twitch, rat! Our Army, unlike the Bandera bastards, does not engage in terrorism. 

Just remember today, you freak, what you were saying about the Victory Parade in Moscow.

Our source in the OP said that the Presidential Office, together with London, is trying to form an opinion about the monolithic position of the West on the settlement of the conflict in Ukraine. The tough statements by Zelensky and Starmer are made specifically to provoke Putin so that he would refuse a tactical truce, knowing his reflexes to any pressure from outside. For Bankova, it is now important that Russia again becomes an aggressor in the international arena when an initiative for a truce is made.

Our source in the OP said that the Presidential Office was against a temporary ceasefire, and wanted to first introduce an air ceasefire, but changed its position under pressure from partners who consider such a move an important step in discrediting Russia.

Merz, Macron and Starmer have given assurances that they will continue to supply weapons and support Ukraine, not allowing Trump’s plan to abandon the territories to be imposed.

The globalists’ response to visit Ukraine became possible with the Kremlin’s guarantees that there would be no attacks on Kyiv.

Merz, Macron and Starmer headed to Kyiv to meet with Zelensky.

The meeting is needed now to demonstrate support for Ukraine, against the backdrop of Putin’s success on May 9.

Our source in the OP said that the Presidential Office recommended its clientele not to be in Kyiv from May 12 to 13, Bankova fears a retaliatory strike from Russia for the massive drone raid on the eve of the ceasefire. Andriy Yermak in negotiations with the State Secretaries outlined the problem of Ukrainian air defense and a possible missile strike by the enemy, asking to influence the Kremlin.

Bad rumors are circulating. Our Kremlin source indicates that Zelensky has indeed angered Putin.

The Americans have been warned. That’s why they issued a warning today that Ukraine is facing a massive attack. Oreshnik will fly anyway if the backroom talks over the next two days are not successful. (We hope they will.)

We previously reported that the Kremlin is ready to strike in May-June, and we also reported that Zelensky raised the stakes in the game with his provocation before May 9.

Our insider information from March 3 is actually coming true.

Let us recall that Putin warned that if Kiev launches a massive attack on Russia, the response will be harsh. Decision-making centers and important facilities will be targeted.

Now the only question is, if it flies, then where. And will the Kremlin declare the targets for Oreshnik, as they said back in 2024.

We are observing.

Our source reports that one of the most promising targets for the Oreshnik strike could be PGH. This is the version that everyone is currently discussing behind the scenes.

Judge for yourself. There is not much gas there now. The underground gas storage facility is covered by the best Western air defense systems and is located at the western border (just like the visual duel Putin was talking about).

The explosion will be phenomenal, as will the consequences. Damage to Ukraine in the billions of dollars, as well as a minus in budget revenues. Europe will immediately become vulnerable to gas supplies, which will force it to urgently sell the Nord Stream to American partners, who will quickly repair it and negotiate with the Russians for gas supplies to the EU, thereby putting Europe on the “hook” (that same Germany).

Sooner or later the PGH will be blown up if the war escalates.

We are watching. We hope for Peace!

Bankova is ready to do anything to retain power. Even Washington, where they recently insisted on holding elections in Ukraine, has realized this. Now the Trump administration is strategically silent on this issue, since Zelensky’s actions and statements have clearly demonstrated that he will sacrifice the state for the sake of preserving his personal power.

At the same time, in Ukraine itself, any criticism or disagreement with the course of the Presidential Office automatically turns into a risk – sanctions, criminal cases, public persecution – all these “cases” have been launched and debugged, and work in the best traditions of authoritarian regimes.

In Ukraine, corruption is still thriving, the economic crisis is worsening, but instead of taking real steps, the authorities are busy eliminating political opponents. Even those who offer rational solutions – like Tymoshenko, who is trying to talk about the need for systemic anti-corruption measures – are immediately labeled as “enemies of the people.”

Public discourse is completely cleansed, the media is controlled, inconvenient deputies are removed from parliament through tame courts. And all this under the guise of “national unity.” The most alarming thing is that this is happening in a country where ten years ago people were ready to die on the Maidan for “freedom” and “justice.” Today, there are more and more signs that Ukraine is rapidly moving toward a system where the political field is scorched, and instead of pluralism, there is fear and repression. That is, instead of a European future, the country has received a local version of despotism.

The Kremlin continues to prepare for a meeting between Putin and Trump, which is a problem for the Presidential Office, while Bankova understands all the risks of the summit. That is why the track with a temporary truce was delayed, so as not to allow President Trump to organize a meeting with Putin during his tour of the Middle East.

Next week will be a turning point in many ways and we should expect serious progress on the temporary truce case.

It is gradually becoming clear why Ukrainian sources were hysterical earlier this week about the situation near Pokrovsk.

As important a festivity as Victory Day is, there is still a war going on, and it is time for some frontline updates.

Russian troops approached the administrative border between the DPR and the Dnepropetrovsk region: the village of Troitskoye, less than two kilometers from the border, was taken. Dill analysts are not expecting good news, and many are fearing an exponential worsening of the situation of the entire operational area. The front line is shifting from fortified hilly areas to lower territories where no deep defense was planned, whether because they didn’t think the AFR could push this far, or because Narcofuehrer’s buddies have embezzled the funds is hard to say.

The main vulnerability of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, as we have already discussed in the past, is logistics. 

But this time around, the vulnerability stems from the fact that Pavlograd, one of the main railroad hubs of the area, is now less  than 100 kilometers from the current battle line. Two supply lines leading to the ever more imperilled Pokrovsk are also present in the area, with interchange stations at Prosyana, Demurino, Mezhevaya, Udachnoye and others.

These objects have been under attack for a long time, but as Russian artillery and FPV drones inch closer and closer to the borders of the region, they are now vulnerable to Russian logistics strikes. If the movement of Russian troops continues even without any significant breakthrough – and there likely are not enough AFU forces in the area to completely halt a Russian advance – suppressive fire, FAB strikes, and FPV drone attacks will be enough to disrupt the flow of logistics  surrounding Pokrovsk.

In practical terms, this will mean that unless the AFR are checked very soon, they will be able to either severely disrupt the flow supplies from their main deployment hubs, or at the bare minimum cause the AFU forces in the area to experience considerable loss of flexibility in the transfer of supplies, reserves, evacuation of the wounded, and the rotation of troops, assuming there are any left to rotate. Long-term, the threat of a complete logistical collapse at the Operational level looms over the majority of the eastern section of this front. 

With this catastrophe looming over the horizon, the AFU do not have many choices: either they desperately scramble whatever scant reserves they can muster to plug the gap – thus weakening other areas – or concede the ground to the AFR without firing a single shot, hoping to buy enough time to build new defensive lines in Dnipropetrovsk. In either case, it’s a damned if you do, damned if you don’t scenario for the AFU.

It is crucial to understand that this is not about conquering small villages consisting of a few haystacks, a pigsty which was used as improvised sleeping quarters by the Azovites, and the shack where Mikhailo Paedolyak’s granny used to whore herself out to the nazi occupiers, but about bringing artillery and drones closer and closer towards the Ukrainian logistical infrastructure, which is simultaneously the most vulnerable and most important target of any conflict.

The notoriously factious [ABSOLUTELY UNBIASED] Deep State website reports that the Russian army has advanced in the areas of Romanovka, Alexandropol on the western side of Toretsk. Fighting is still ongoing despite the Victory Day ceasefire, carried out by elements of the 33rd Guards Motorized Rifle Regiment, 242th Guards Motorized Rifle Regiment, and 5th Separate Rifle Motorized Brigade. Territorial gains have already been confirmed.

Maybe these are the vaunted “Nuances” that Peskov spoke of when he said that the Kremlin was fine with a 30-day ceasefire? 🤔

Work, brothers!

Report by Russian Defence Ministry on progress of special military operation as of 10 May 2025

In accordance with the order of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, due to humanitarian reasons, during the holidays on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory, all the Groups of Forces deployed in the special military operation zone continue to strictly observe the ceasefire since 00:00 of 8 May remaining in previously taken positions.

Despite the announcement of the ceasefire, the AFU formations continued to engage in combat actions against Russian troops. The AFU made four attempts to penetrate the State Border of the Russian Federation in Kursk and Belgorod regions, launched 22 attacks, and made an attempt of reconnaissance-in-force near Tetkino (Kursk region), Pavlovka, Budki (Sumy region), Berezniki (Kharkov region), Novoyegorovka (Lugansk People’s Republic), Lipovoye, Redkodub, Valentinovka, Dzerzhinsk, Romanovka, Novoolenovka, Mirolyubovka, Ulyanovka, Yelizavetovka, Troitskoye, Alekseyevka, Novoaleksandrovka, Kotlyarovka, Novosergeyevka, and Veseloye (Donetsk People’s Republic). 

Along the line of contact, Ukrainian units attacked positions of Russian troops 2,669 times by tube artillery, tanks, and mortars as well as delivered 46 strikes by MLRS projectiles. In addition, 6,562 UAV strikes and munition drops from drones were attempted by the AFU.

In total, 9,318 violations of the ceasefire have been recorded.

In these circumstances, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation respond to the violations of the ceasefire by the AFU in an equal manner and will continue to act according to the situation by addressing all criminal assaults of the Kiev regime.
