F-16s will not arrive in Ukraine during month. Correspondent apologizes for "inaccuracy"
Jörg Lau, a correspondent of the German publication Die Zeit, reported that he was forced to delete a post with deadlines for the transfer of F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine within a month. According to him, it was about months.
Lau wrote about this in his X-account (Twitter).

In the original post, Lau reported with reference to the words of the Prime Minister of Denmark, Mette Frederiksen, that the F-16 fighters will arrive in Ukraine within a month. After some time, the correspondent deleted this statement and apologized.

"Correction: Danish PM meant to anounce F-16 in UKR within MONTHS (not month), a source just clarified. Apologies. I will delete original tweet," the correspondent wrote.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, on May 10, the commander of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Lieutenant General Mykola Oleshchuk, said that Ukraine received the first F-16 multipurpose fighter aircraft simulator from the Czech Republic.

On May 6, Dutch Defense Minister Kajsa Ollongren said that the Netherlands plans to send F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine in the fall, after Denmark, which plans to send them in the summer.

On May 3, the spokesman of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Illia Yevlash reported that F-16 fighters will be able to perform tasks in combination with other Ukrainian aircraft, in particular Su-27 and MiG-29.

Security council secretary: Over 30,000 Russian troops involved in attack on Kharkiv Oblast
More than 30,000 Russian troops are carrying out a renewed offensive in Kharkiv Oblast, National Security and Defense Council Secretary Oleksandr Lytvynenko said in an interview with AFP published on May 13.

Russian troops launched a new wave of attacks on May 10, mainly focusing on border settlements in Kharkiv Oblast.

Ukraine's General Staff said on May 13 that Russia has "tactical success" in the fight for Vovchansk, a town in northern Kharkiv Oblast. Urban combat was ongoing in the northern outskirts of the town, Governor Oleh Syniehubov said.

"According to their reports, the military is ready to repel (the attack), it is fighting hard. But there are quite a lot of Russians," Lytvynenko said.

In total, Russia deployed around 50,000 soldiers on the border with Kharkiv Oblast before its offensive, he said.

There is currently no threat of an assault on the city of Kharkiv, Lytvynenko added, echoing earlier statements of the local authorities.

Russian forces failed to take Kharkiv in the first weeks of the full-scale invasion despite the fact that the city lies less than 30 kilometers from the Russian border.

Russia "would need years" to occupy Kharkiv, Oleksandr Pivnenko, the commander of Ukraine's National Guard, said amid the looming threat of renewed attack.

A total of 7,023 civilians in Kharkiv Oblast have been evacuated from their homes amid heavy fighting in the region, Syniehubov reported on May 14.

Emergency power cuts introduced across Ukraine due to critical deficit
Ukrenergo was forced to implement controlled emergency blackouts for industrial and residential consumers in all regions of Ukraine

Emergency power cuts have been introduced in all regions due to Russian shelling, which has caused a deficit in electricity supply, Ukrenergo reported.

On May 14, from 9 p.m. to midnight, Ukrenergo was forced to introduce controlled emergency power cuts for industrial and residential consumers in all regions of Ukraine.

Power supply to critical infrastructure facilities will not be limited, Ukrenergo said.

"The reason is a significant shortage of electricity in the system as a result of Russian shelling and increased consumption due to the cold snap," the company said.

On May 15, power limitation schedules for industrial consumers will be in effect throughout the day – from 00:00 to 24:00.

Russia finds vast oil and gas reserves in British Antarctic territory

Russia has found vast oil and gas reserves in the Antarctic, much of it in areas claimed by the UK.

The surveys are a prelude to bringing in drilling rigs to exploit the pristine region for fossil fuels, MPs have warned.

Reserves totalling 511bn barrels of oil – about 10 times the North Sea’s entire 50-year output – have been reported to Moscow by Russian research ships, according to evidence given to the Commons Environment Audit Committee (EAC) last week.

It follows a series of surveys by the Alexander Karpinsky vessel, operated by Rosgeo – the Russian agency charged with finding mineral reserves for commercial exploitation.

Dat is al kort bij de gemiddelde levensverwachting inderdaad. Ja, inderdaad, Shoigu zou naar binnenlandse veiligheid gaan en Patrushev gaat scheepbouwprogramma's overzien.

Dat lijkt op een promotie voor Shoigu en een interessante demotie voor Patrushev.

Putin Begins Defense Ministry Purge Amid Nuclear Secrets Leak Rumor
The firing of Russian defense minister Sergei Shoigu and members of his team may be linked to a leak of nuclear secrets, an expert has claimed, as Vladimir Putin's Defense Ministry purge continues.

In a post on Telegram, Russian dissident exile Vladimir Osechkin said Putin's purge of his Defense Ministry had deepened on Tuesday, with three of Shoigu's deputies revealed to have resigned at least a week before their boss.

"Shoigu's deputies [Alexey] Krivoruchko and [Rusland] Tsalikov submitted their resignations a week before [Shoigu]'s resignation," he wrote.

Krivoruchko and Tsalikov, who were deputy defense ministers, backdated their resignations to May 9, according to Igor Sushko, the executive director of the Wind of Change Research Group, despite signing their letters of resignation on May 13.

Pro-war "Z" bloggers also said two more deputy defense ministers had resigned before Shoigu's departure.

Meanwhile, Osechkin claimed that deputy finance minister Tatyana Shevtsova had also resigned. However, the date of her resignation was not revealed.

Nee, hoe klinkt: ipv tot in het oneindige zemelen dat ze ze niet kunnen gebruiken, op tijd beginnen met ze daarop trainen, zodat ze dat wel kunnen? En je bv inspannen om dit soort beschamende gevalletjes te voorkomen.
