France Orders Firms to Prioritise Anti-Air Missile Orders
A major supplier affected by the order was Aubert et Duval, which produces specialist steel for items including submarines and the barrels for Caesar truck-mounted cannons supplied to Ukraine.

France has ordered firms involved in production of Aster air defence missiles to prioritise those contracts, Defence Minister Sebastien Lecornu said Monday.

It was "the first time" he had used special powers to compel queue-jumping for defence orders, meaning "civilian orders must from now on have lower priority," Lecornu said in Calvi, Corsica, where he was meeting his Italian counterpart Guido Crosetto.

"Players in the defence industry must understand that they have to work faster, and that the country's future depends on this work," Crosetto said.

Norway to allocate over $600 million for Ukrainian air defense, ammunition
Oslo will increase aid to Ukraine by 7 billion Norwegian kroner (about $630 million), the bulk of which will support Kyiv's anti-aircraft and artillery ammunition supplies, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere told the E24 news outlet on April 30.

Stoere previously said on April 21 that Norway would direct "significant sums" to Ukraine's air defense but did not specify the exact amount.

The new funds will primarily support military aid to Ukraine, with a smaller portion allocated to civilian financial aid, Stoere said.

Norway will partner with Germany, the United States, and other allies to find anti-aircraft ammunition to better protect Ukraine's skies. According to Stoere, air defense systems have already been produced and are ready to deliver to Kyiv in the near future.

"Now it's about delivering fairly immediately on this with air defense," Stoere said.

"We get daily news that Ukrainians are waking up to apartment buildings, hospitals and power plants being hit by Russian missiles. They must be able to defend themselves against this."

The funds will also support the Czech initiative to purchase artillery shells for Ukraine's front-line troops.

Norway has recently ramped up efforts to increase defense production, both for domestic needs and for aid to Ukraine. Oslo allocated 2 billion Norwegian kroner ($190 million) in January for Ukrainian aid.

Redeeming futures
How Kadyrov’s potential successor has been using the war in Ukraine as a path to redemption

Apti Alaudinov, one of the most likely heirs to the Chechen throne in the light of leader Ramzan Kadyrov’s illness, has used the war in Ukraine to earn the Kremlin’s trust and help win back Kadyrov’s favour.

Alaudinov has managed to survive in Chechnya despite initially being on the opposing side to the Kadyrov clan, and even being banished from Chechnya five years ago. As war broke out in Ukraine, Alaudinov finally got a chance to atone for his sins and help Kadyrov save his private army from ruin.

Chashiv Yar. Russia throws soldiers into battle unarmed, forcing them to acquire weapons in battle
A spokesman for the Khortytsia Operational-Strategic Group said that the Russian military command instructs its soldiers to obtain weapons in combat

In the area of Chasiv Yar in the Donetsk Oblast, there have been instances of Russia sending its troops into battle without weapons, the spokesman for the Khortytsia Operational-Strategic Group, Nazar Voloshyn, told LIGA.net.

"In the area of Chasiv Yar, there are cases in which the enemy, regardless of the loss of personnel, sends people into battle without weapons. They may hold sticks or something else that imitates the presence of weapons. At the same time, they receive instructions that they must get weapons in the battle," he said.

Voloshyn added that the Defense Forces continue to inflict losses on the occupiers in manpower and equipment, exhausting the enemy along the entire battle line.

In April, the Russian army lost 24,156 personnel, 308 tanks, 671 combat vehicles, 15,945 drones, 10 anti-aircraft systems, and other military equipment in the area of responsibility of the Khortytsia Operational-Strategic Group.

Ik denk dat er een optie drie is die Biden heeft gekozen. Uiteraard ook omdat Rusland als permanent lid van de Veiligheidsraad gewoon het VN embargo tegen Noord-Korea en Iran schendt en waarschijnlijk ook een beetje door het gesodemieter van de GOP, namelijk: OK, als het zo moet gaan wij Oekraïne echt helpen.

Ik denk dat het wel eens een strategische blunder kan zijn geweest van China.

Nepalese mercenaries desert from the Russian army en masse

Nepalese mercenaries are deserting the Russian army en masse due to ill-treatment and heavy losses.

The press service of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine reported on this.

It is reported that the escape of mercenaries from Nepal assigned to military unit No. 29328 was caused by huge losses in ‘meat assaults’ and the brutal treatment of field commanders, including extrajudicial executions for refusing to comply with orders. In addition, mercenaries are not paid the money they were promised.

The Russians are actively searching for fugitives in the occupied Ukrainian settlements, in particular in the Luhansk region, where the personnel of the military unit No. 29328 were located, but this process usually does not yield results.

‘Putin’s Brain’ Declares Victory After Tucker Carlson Interview
Alexander Dugin thinks he has managed to get his fascist ideas across to the “American mainstream.”

A far-right Russian philosopher who’s called for Russia to expand its borders and rise up against the West says his interview with Tucker Carlson shows Americans are ready to accept his fascist ideas.

Alexander Dugin, dubbed “Putin’s brain” for supposedly influencing the Russian leader’s geopolitical crusades, took to Telegram in the wake of his interview with the former Fox News host to note that he’d made it into the “American mainstream” by sitting down with Carlson, and that the “American public is a little ready for my ideas.”

He claimed there’d been a “defamation” campaign against him hatched by “globalists” and “left-wing liberals” who portrayed him as “Dr. Evil” and “the most dangerous philosopher in the world.” Of course, Carlson himself used precisely those descriptors in trying to hype the 20-minute interview on X, falsely claiming Dugin’s ideas are “so dangerous” that “Amazon won’t sell his books.” (In fact, several of his books are currently available for purchase on Amazon in Russian.)

Dugin’s interview with Carlson—whom he describes as the “number one journalist in the world”—was the first time he was able to appeal directly to Americans on such a scale, Dugin said.

He went on to share a roundup of praise for his interview said to be from “ordinary American” YouTube commentators, including the likes of, “What a wonderful, wise person! I love Russia!” Kremlin-controlled media and Kremlin-friendly bloggers have also pushed the narrative that the interview somehow marks a win for Moscow vs. Western liberalism.

Dugin, whose ideas are believed to have influenced Moscow’s genocidal war against Ukraine, was sanctioned by the U.S. government in 2015 for his role in the conflict, which included peddling disinformation and recruiting volunteers to fight alongside pro-Russian forces in eastern Ukraine.

In his interview with Carlson released this week, Dugin blamed the “Anglo-Saxon world” for the rise of liberalism, claimed films like The Terminator and The Matrix will become a reality in the West, and declared that Vladimir Putin is the one man who can save the world from such horror.

US imposes major sanctions on Russia's defense sector and allies
Among the targeted entities is one of Russia's largest airlines, Pobeda LCC

The U.S. Treasury Department has imposed sanctions on nearly 200 individuals and entities that support Russia's military-industrial base and help it evade restrictions, according to a department press release.

The sanctions package targets Russia's military-industrial base, as well as individuals and entities in third countries that assist Russia in purchasing components for the production of weapons or defense products.

Regarding countries that have helped Russia circumvent Western sanctions, the U.S. has imposed restrictions on companies from Turkey, China, Slovakia, Belgium, and Kyrgyzstan, as they may have helped Russia evade Western sanctions.

The U.S. Department of the Treasury has imposed restrictions on two Russian companies involved in the construction of gas infrastructure in Russia: Neftegazstroy and Aktsionernoe Obshchestvo Vnipigazdobycha.

The list also includes:
→ Ural Automotive Plant;
→ Bryansk Automobile Plant;
→ Aktsionernoe Obshchestvo Zavod Proton;
→ 48th Central Scientific and Research Institute of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation;
→ Tomsk Electrotechnical Plant;
→ Pobeda LCC, one of the largest airlines.

A fire in a country house on a site in Lower Saxony was recorded by the fire service on the morning of April 30. Hours later, left-wing extremists posted on the Indymedia platform claiming responsibility for the incident.

The report claims they left a petrol bomb at Armin Papperger's summer house on the night of April 29.

The State Security Police are currently investigating. They are studying the authenticity of the message and finding out the circumstances of the incident.

Earlier, an explosion occurred at a military plant in Britain . An explosion occurred at a facility where explosives were being filled into artillery shells.

Let us remind you that German law enforcement agencies suspect the Russian special services of an attack on railways, as a result of which trains stopped in northern Germany for several hours.

Also, unknown persons in northern Germany damaged a gas pipeline under construction for an LNG terminal .

Slovak ministry offers temporary protection to alleged pro-Russian operative

The Slovak Interior Ministry has granted temporary protection to Artom Marchevsky, a Ukrainian-Israeli citizen who is accused of running a pro-Russian influence campaign and who has already been sanctioned by the Czech government, Reuters reported on Wednesday, citing the Czech newspaper Deník N.

The Slovak Interior Ministry issued a communiqué saying that it was looking into the Marchevsky’s case with its intelligence services and would provide further information once the investigation was completed.

Reuters reported, citing the “Deník N” text, that when Marchevsky was sanctioned by the Czech Republic, he traveled to Slovakia, where the new cabinet of Prime Minister Robert Fico has adopted a policy of improving relations with Russia.

The Czech government put Marchevsky on the sanctions list when security services there linked him to a Russian-organized network designed to influence European Parliament elections.

Restrictions were also extended to the pro-Russian ‘Voice of Europe’ internet platform, registered in the Czech Republic. The Czech government justified the restrictions, calling the website’s activities as “promoting the foreign policy interests of the Russian Federation and political and propaganda activities directed against the territorial integrity, independence, stability and security of Ukraine.”

“Deník N” wrote in March that money was transferred in Prague to politicians of the anti-establishment German AfD, as well as from other European countries, including France, Poland, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Hungary.

It is not clear what role Marchevsky played in these transfers.
