Operation “Spider Web” [took down 34% of Russian strategic aviation] started one month late because the recruited Russian drivers got drunk during Easter, May holidays, and May 9th — Head of the Security Service of Ukraine, Malyuk.

We couldn't reach anyone. All unavailable.

1/

Malyuk: Today, our country must transform into a steel porcupine.

This includes increasing the number of personnel, their training, boosting air defense, UAV systems, ground robotic complexes, and all possible counterintelligence measures.

2/

Malyuk: Sea Baby drones [hit frigate “Admiral Makarov” and much more] are now multipurpose, with FPV systems, machine guns, and capabilities for combat, mining, and underwater missions.

We're constantly improving them. 3/

Malyuk: The Ukrainian Security Service engages renowned plastic surgeons to ensure the safety of its undercover agents after completing missions.

We also prepare cover documents for a fresh start.

4/

Malyuk: We won’t officially acknowledge anything, but Kirillov, the Russian chemical general, ordered over 45,000 chemical attacks on our troops.

He also repeatedly commanded the killing of our soldiers.

The 800 grams of explosive mixture did its job, and we "thanked" him.

5/

Malyuk: Russia spent $4.6В on information warfare against Ukraine last year.

It’s hard to imagine where that money went.

Probably, half of it was stolen.

6/

Q: Can we strike further than 700 km?

Malyuk: Our priority is to target objects that support military tasks along the front line. First and foremost, we focus on how to best assist our soldiers on the front lines and ensure they are supported.

7/

Malyuk: Our war is a battle between good and evil.

Good always wins.

And we are the good in this situation.

8/

Malyuk: Medvedchuk and Marchievsky [pro-Russian] created the Voice of Europe movement to promote the "Russian peace" under the guise of European values.

Thanks to Czech counterintelligence and our team, they were documented, sanctioned, and their operation was shut down. 9X

Yuliia Dvornychenko from Ukraine’s Donetsk region spent two years in Russian captivity. Her two sons waited the entire time.

Yuliia: I was tortured: electric shocks, stripped, beaten. They threatened to send my kids to an orphanage. I signed anything to stop it. — DW.

1/

Yuliia: People traveled from occupied areas to Ukraine-controlled territory to buy basics, collect pensions, get medicine. Everyone needed to get out; for some, just to breathe.

We’d go with the kids to see the difference between life under occupation and outside it.

1/

Yuliia: The unit that captured me got 500,000 rubles($6,500) for taking Ukrainian “spies.” My younger son slept, the older saw everything.

Then the kids were alone for a month, the occupation security service banned neighbors from helping.

The EU may give Ukraine EU-level protections before full membership

The EU is weighing a peace-deal formula that grants Kyiv early access to EU membership rights and safeguards, locking in a time-bound path to full accession, possibly by 2027 — Bloomberg.

1/

One option would grant Ukraine up-front accession protections, legal, economic, and regulatory safeguards, plus immediate access to selected EU rights, before formal membership.

2/

At the same time, the EU would lock in a time-bound accession roadmap, fixed steps and deadlines, replacing today’s open-ended process that can stall for years.

Shot and bleeding in a dugout, Ukrainian soldier convinced his Russian captors to surrender.

Volodymyr Aleksandrov lay wounded in hand and pelvis as an FPV mine blocked the entrance and drones hunted above. “If I was going to die, I would take them with me” — Hromadske. 1/

Russian troops ambushed Aleksandrov and his partner while they collected food dropped by drone.

Russians fired from a house, wounded him, argued over killing him, then kept him alive to register a live prisoner for money. 2/

Russians carried Aleksandrov into the dugout and stepped on their own FPV mine.

The blast tore off part of one soldier’s leg, wounded another, and hit Aleksandrov again — shrapnel wounded his shoulder and ear and left him concussed. 3/

Russia gave its main security agency legal power to shut down internet and phone service nationwide. Like in Iran: cut the web when protests erupt.

If crowds fill Moscow’s streets, the switch is ready — United24.

1/

The State Duma passed the law on Jan. 27.

The UK Ministry of Defence says it lets the FSB order total communication blackouts for vaguely defined “security threats,” with no clear limits and no oversight.

2/

The order takes effect immediately.

Telecom operators must cut internet, mobile, landline, and messaging services the moment the FSB demands it — no court order, no appeal.

Kallas: We haven’t seen any concessions on the Russian side. We only have seen what Ukrainians are willing to concede to end this war.

Russia is the problem that has been attacking its neighbors. To prevent war from expanding, we should have concessions on the Russian side. 1/

Kallas: There will always be people in the West who will offer you something so that you walk away with more than you had.

The size of the Ukrainian army is not the problem. The size of the Russian army and military budget is a problem for all its neighbors. 2X

Beevor, British historian: We are seeing a fresh conflict developing, a second Cold war, with Putin and the rise of China and the threat from Xi.

It is an extension of the Cold War, but also a new era of geopolitics, a split between authoritarianism and democracy. 1/

Beevor: In second Cold War, geopolitics are changing so rapidly. Russian and Chinese leaders used to stick with agreements. We’re not seeing that anymore. We cannot trust Putin to stick to anything he says. It will be seen as one of the greatest self-inflicted disasters in history. 2/

Beevor: We are not going to see a 1917 February revolution in the streets. That’s impossible because a revolution depends on the collapse of willpower of the ruling elite. They know they’ve got nowhere to go except perhaps for Qatar or Dubai into exile. 3X
