Turning Point: The Bomb and the Cold War | Official Trailer | Netflix

Zeer boeiende docu vanaf het moment dat oost en west in Berlijn in 1945 tegenover elkaar komen te staan en de koude oorlog die vanaf dat moment op komt, de A-bommen, de wapenwedloop, de val van de Muur, het uiteenvallen van het Warschaupact

Ook fouten die het Westen gemaakt heeft of zaken die wellicht anders hadden gemoeten worden genoemd net als dat ze inzage geven in de Russische manier van denken, de verrijking van de Oligarchen en de opkomst van Putin, uit welk milieu en dat het voor mij steeds duidelijker wordt dat Poetin niet uit is op vrede maar terug wil naar de Sovjet Unie en dat alle voormalige staten onderdeel uitmaken van dat rijk.

Er is maar 1 manier: De stad met een enorme ring omsingelen en die ring moet eigenlijk wel minimaal 50 kilometer diep zijn.

Dan heb je echt een kans om zo'n stad letterlijk uit te hongeren en met artillerie kapot te schieten. Dus een omsingelingslijn creëren van Kramatorsk naar Poltava en dan richting de Russische grens net onder Sumy.

Lijkt me momenteel totaal onhaalbare koek. Een stadsoorlog op de Bakhmut-manier is bij zo'n grote stad ook kansloos.

This bridge was blown up during the withdrawal of Russian forces from the settlement in 2022, but was restored and used by Ukrainian forces. Now it has been destroyed again, which will significantly affect the Ukrainian army's logistics in this direction, as it will either have to build crossings higher up the river or take a 20-kilometer detour to bypass it.

Het idee lijkt me niet de stad te belegeren, maar eerder om de stad binnen artilleriebereik te brengen, zodoende de economische mogelijkheden daar te verminderen en te zorgen dat een groot deel van de bevolking vlucht.

Er gaan verder geruchten dat er ook mogelijk aanvallen zullen plaatsvinden in de Chernihiv en Sumy oblasten (de overige twee oblasten aangrenzend Rusland ten oosten van Kiiv.

Residents of Avdiivka who waited for Russians lost their initial euphoria
Vitalii Barabash, the head of the Avdiivka City Military Administration, said that approximately 700 people remain in Donetsk Oblast, which is held by Russian soldiers. The elation among those waiting for the Russians to arrive has faded after the city was captured.

Source: Barabash on the air of Espresso TV channel

Quote: "Around 700 people stayed in Avdiivka. The situation is not easy; regular checks are ongoing. The excitement of the majority of those who remained and waited for the Russians has long faded. Even those who didn't care admit now that it was far better under Ukraine’s control. Because there is no evidence of democracy or that it was 'liberators' that came to them."

Details: According to Barabash, the actual situation differs from propaganda videos; the Russians pull inhabitants out of their homes, looting occurs, even the coke plant is being looted. "That is, most people realised that they were waiting for the wrong people [to help them – ed.]," Barabash underlined.

Barabash recalled that the government and volunteers told those waiting for the Russians that nothing good would happen after the takeover, citing examples such as Sieverodonetsk, Mariupol, and Bakhmut, but they refused to believe them. "Now they are going through all of this themselves," said the head of the Avdiivka City Military Administration.

Background:
• On 17 February, Oleksandr Syrskyi, then-Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, announced the withdrawal of Ukrainian units from Avdiivka.
• President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that Russia's losses in Avdiivka were seven times higher than Ukraine's.
• Only a few days after the Russians occupied and destroyed Avdiivka, they began distributing Russian Federation passports to the population.

Dutch Eurovision 2024 representative collaborated with Russian artists after full-scale invasion
The second semifinal of the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 took place on May 9, with the Netherlands' representative Joost Klein vying for a spot in the final. Klein has collaborated on songs with Russian artists.

Klein's tracks featuring Russian artists were released after the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022.

One track features Russian musician CMH (CrazyMegaHell), real name Ruslan Tushentsov, and was released on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music on March 11, 2022. Klein sings about his love for Russian women there.

“Hello, my name is Joost Klein I love Russian baby I believe without negative Russian move.”

“I want a Russian lady I want some Russian babies…”

Tushentsov performed the song at a concert in St. Petersburg in the summer of 2022.

The second song, titled "Normalje Bass," was released in February 2023 in collaboration with rave group Russian Village Boys from St. Petersburg.

Klein was chosen to represent the Netherlands at Eurovision 2024 from among 600 contenders. After his victory in the selection process, the rapper said:

"Participating in the Eurovision Song Contest is a dream come true. I watched it year after year with my parents, glued to the screen.”

“It's a great honor for me to represent the Netherlands, and I intend to do everything possible for the best result."

The Netherlands, along with nine other countries from the second semifinal, including Armenia, Austria, Estonia, Georgia, Greece, Israel, Latvia, Norway and Switzerland, advanced to the final of the song contest, which will take place on May 11.

Klein remains the front-runner in bookmakers' predictions for Eurovision 2024.

Belarus is building a military base near the border with Ukraine, where the Russian Federation is likely to store nuclear weapons, - NYT

Near the Belarusian town of Osypovichi, 190 km from the border with Ukraine, a military facility is being built where the Russians can store nuclear weapons.

As Censor.NET informs , this is reported by LIGA.net.

It is noted that The New York Times analyzed satellite images from Maxar and saw that construction has been underway at the facility since March.

In particular, there was a new three-layer fence, a covered cargo area and a shelter for underground bunkers. Construction continues — bulldozers are working there and new buildings are being erected. The reconstructions are also consistent with structures seen at other former Soviet nuclear storage sites, the NYT notes.

The base is covered by air defense, and near it there is a part with "Iskanders", which can launch missiles with nuclear charges.

As noted in the newspaper, nuclear programs are highly classified, so it is possible that there are other places in Belarus where the Russian Federation stores warheads - and the Kremlin may have even moved some of them to the facility in Osipovichi, although all indications are to the contrary.

What is known about nuclear weapons on the territory of Belarus
The self-proclaimed president of Belarus, Oleksandr Lukashenko, said that "several dozen Russian nuclear munitions" are located in his country. All of Russia's tactical nuclear weapons "must" remain in Belarus.

At the beginning of May, the troops of Belarus began a sudden "check" of non-strategic nuclear weapons carriers

In January 2024, Lukashenko flaunted the nuclear missiles transferred to Belarus for the Iskander complexes: "We got them from the Russians for their money."

Poland will build bunkers and dig trenches on the border with Russia and Belarus
Poland plans to continue strengthening its territory near the border with the Russian Federation and Belarus. This includes, in particular, the construction of bunkers.

This was stated by the Minister of Defense of Poland, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, according to Radio ZET.

The official was asked whether Poland should start building bunkers, digging ditches, and trenches on the border with Belarus and Russia.

In response, he agreed and announced that Poland's leadership is preparing a plan for building bunkers and digging trenches. He also stated that Poland is already reinforcing its border.

"We are repairing and strengthening the dam, there is a military group in the Podlaskie Voivodeship. In the Lublin, Masovian, and Warmian-Masurian voivodeships, we have the army, and there are allied forces," he said, adding that comprehensive work is underway.

After the invasion of Ukraine, the Polish leadership became concerned about its own security and announced plans to strengthen the defense of its borders with Russia and Belarus.

Last year, Poland decided to reinforce its border with Belarus, but at that time, the reason for this was the presence of Wagner PMC mercenaries.

Train car from Belarus not allowed to pass through to Lithuania due to Russian war symbol painted on it

Lithuanian border guards have denied entry to one of the wagons of a train travelling from Belarus to Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia.

Source: European Pravda, citing the press service of Lithuania's State Border Guard Service

The border guards reported that the train car marked with the Z symbol used by Russian occupation forces in the war against Ukraine had been unhooked at the Kena railway border checkpoint.

Border guards observed a grey-painted wagon bearing the Z war symbol.

"In accordance with a warning about possible violations of public order and provocations related to Russia's military aggression against Ukraine in February 2022, this wagon has been detached from the train and denied entry to Lithuania," the statement said.

Background:
• In April, the Czech police launched an investigation into the case of a man who walked down a street in the city of Pardubice wearing clothes with a symbol of Russian aggression.
• Last year, a law enforcement officer in Vienna, Austria, who was patrolling on Christmas Day wearing a helmet with the letter Z, caused a stir in the city, forcing the police to provide explanations.

An AfD MP who secretly visited Russia was expelled from the Hamburg parliament

Born in Omsk in 1982, Petersen received German citizenship in 2020 and joined the far-right Alternative for Germany party, becoming a member of the Hamburg parliament. During her mandate, she visited the Russian Federation twice: in September 2021 and March 2024.

In March 2024, Petersen took part in observing the Russian elections and openly called them "open, democratic and free."

Petersen's party comrades, according to the publication, were not informed about her travels and positions.

As a result, this week she was expelled from the Alternative for Germany faction in the Hamburg parliament.

It was previously reported that the AfD had begun the process of expelling Hamburg MP Olga Petersen from the party . The regional association pointed out incorrect information provided by a 41-year-old woman about her trip to the Russian Federation. Petersen said in advance that her trip was personal, but she was actually serving there as an "election observer," the parliamentary group said.

Earlier it was also reported that a deputy from the pro-Russian AfD hid a business in Belarus .

In addition, it became known that the office of an AfD deputy involved in a spy scandal was searched in the European Parliament.

Zelensky vows to quash new Russian offensive in Ukraine's Kharkiv region
Ukraine vowed Friday to quash a surprise Russian ground offensive, after troops launched a major cross-border assault in the Kharkiv region, looking to chalk up fresh battlefield gains with Ukraine on the back foot.

Russian forces made small advances in the border zone it was pushed back from nearly two years ago. President Volodymyr Zelensky said a "fierce battle" was underway for control of the area.

Civilians were told to flee and heavy fighting was reported as Ukraine's outgunned army rushed in reinforcements to defend the region, which has been mostly under Ukrainian control since September 2022.

"Russia launched a new wave of counter-offensive actions in this area. Ukraine met them there with our troops, brigades and artillery ... Now there is a fierce battle under way," Zelensky told a press conference in Kyiv.

In a later social media post after meeting his commander-in-chief, Zelensky reported "heavy battles along the entire front line" and promised a forceful response.

"Along our state border and along our front line, we will invariably destroy the occupier in such a way as to thwart any Russian offensive intentions," Zelensky said.

Russia has remained silent on the assault, which would be its largest land operation in that part of the battlefield since it sent thousands of troops across the border in February 2022.

Poland and Finland join the Baltic states in joint sanctions against Russia
At a meeting in Vilnius on May 9, the heads of the customs services of Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Finland and Poland signed an agreement on the application of uniform control measures to comply with sanctions against the Russian Federation. Source: press service of Lithuanian customs

The five customs authorities will strengthen control over goods subject to export bans and restrictions, and will also use joint measures, such as requiring the provision of documentation from the manufacturer for goods exported or re-exported.

Customs officers will also request other documents that exclude the possibility of illegal export of goods to the Russian Federation or other ways to circumvent sanctions, the press service of the Lithuanian customs said.

Statistics show that since mid-2023, exports from Lithuania to Central Asian countries have been declining. This indicates that the measures taken by Lithuanian customs to prevent circumvention of sanctions are effective, noted Darius Zivonas, Director General of the Customs Department under the Ministry of Finance of Lithuania.

Let us recall that earlier the management of the Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian customs services agreed on unified control during the implementation of European Union sanctions against the Russian Federation and Belarus.
