quote:Why and how Russia is Transferring Ukrainian Children
Action in Brussels // Voice of America
Starting in 2014 and especially since 2022, Moscow has implemented an outrageous policy of large-scale Russian state-enforced displacement and deportation of Ukrainian civilians including thousands of unaccompanied minors and teenagers. One of the Russian invasion’s aims since 2022 has been to capture and then Russify large numbers of Ukrainian citizens in order to prop up Russia’s declining population.
This aim may be as important to Moscow as the annexation of Ukrainian territory. Child displacement and deportation has been taking place in Ukraine’s occupied Crimea and Donbas since 2014. Yet, it did not become widely known until 2022 when the numbers of such illegal transfers rose sharply.
Between 24 February 2022 and today, Russia had displaced or deported at least 19,546 unaccompanied Ukrainian children. This is an official figure provided by the Ukrainian government’s “Children of War” portal. However, this statistic includes only those children on whom information has been provided to the government by relatives, witnesses or local authorities regarding a child’s deportation to Russia or forcible transfer within the Russian-occupied parts of Ukraine and where such evidence is already undergoing verification. Presumably, the real figure is considerably higher.

quote:Romanian defense minister reluctant to give Ukraine one Patriot air defense system
The decision should be taken by the Supreme Council of National Defense, Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu said
The Romanian Defense Minister Angel Tilvar has "serious reservations" about the transfer of Patriot air defense systems to Ukraine, Romanian Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu said, without clarifying why he maintains such a position, reported Digi24.
Ciolacu noted that he has not discussed the issue of strengthening Ukrainian air defense with President Klaus Iohannis, but did have such a conversation with Tilvar. The Romanian defense minister, according to Ciolacu, is "not much in favor" of transferring the Patriot air defense system to Ukraine.
Ziet er naar uit dat het steeds onwaarschijnlijker wordt dat Oekrane een Patriot systeem van hun gaat krijgen. Afwachten dus.SPOILEROm spoilers te kunnen lezen moet je zijn ingelogd. Je moet je daarvoor eerst gratis Registreren. Ook kun je spoilers niet lezen als je een ban hebt.

SPD declines assistance for Ukrainian airspace.
Key politicians from Germany's CDU, FDP, and the Greens are mulling shielding sections of Ukrainian airspace from NATO territory using Western defense systems. However, SPD parliamentary leader Rolf Mtzenich denounces the idea, calling it "highly perilous." The SPD parliamentary group won't endorse it.
Natuurlijk is "Putinversteher" Rolf Mtzenich er op tegen. Stel je voor dat wij Russische raketten en drones zouden aanvallen zeg. Alle Russische burgers en soldaten die daardoor in gevaar zouden worden gebracht....oh wacht, het zijn alleen Oekraense burgers die in gevaar zijn.SPOILEROm spoilers te kunnen lezen moet je zijn ingelogd.

• The UK Ministry of Defence declined to comment on the report.
A US commander appeared to suggest UK special forces were operating in Ukraine.
In an interview with the Associated Press, Gen. Bryan Fenton, the commander of the US Special Operations Command, spoke about plans to restructure Green Beret teams based on lessons from British special forces in Ukraine.
"A 12-person detachment might be up-gunned," Fenton said, explaining that as warfare became more high-tech, there might be a need for teams to have a cyber expert, an Air Force pilot, or a cryptologist, for example.
He said the ideas had come from "lessons learned out of the experience in Ukraine, mostly through the eyes of our UK special-operations partners, who not only have done that in their formations, but they've also learned very quickly that they needed other elements of their joint force."

Denis Kharitonov, a member of the Astrakhan Regional Duma and a Russian army soldier, shared video footage on Telegram showing the destruction of his car in an explosion in Ukraine on May 1.
Kharitonov survived a blast that destroyed the vehicle he was using for "combat operations," managing to escape and retrieve essential items and documents from the fire.
"It's been a while since my car was detonated," he said.
"A specialized unit from the brigade has taken over the situation, and an investigation is underway."
Kharitonov has been actively involved in the war against Ukraine since before Russia's full-scale invasion. He has served in the assault brigade of the Baikal unit within the "Donbas Volunteers Union" since 2023 and also holds a position in the Astrakhan Regional Duma, according to a May 13 report by Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty's Caucasus.Realities media project.

quote:Fortifications around Vovchansk were built, but not so densely due to constant bombardments
Tamaz Gambarashvili, the head of Vovchansk City Military Administration, has asserted that there were fortifications around the city on the border with Russia but that it was difficult to build them due to Russian bombardments.
Source: Gambarashvili on Radio Svoboda (Svoboda.Ranok project)
Quote: "The fortifications were built. And now they are being built and strengthened. But the situation was and is extremely difficult. Because the city itself is very close to the border. And it is very difficult to carry out any construction work right on the border. I thank the builders and everyone who worked there. It is extremely difficult. Because working under fire is very dangerous."
Details: In response to the presenter's question to clarify what work was being done before the Russian offensive, Gambarashvili replied that "perhaps the construction was not so dense".
"Everything was built. But maybe not so densely. After liberation, Vovchansk has been under constant attacks for a year and a half. Both mortars and artillery. That's why I repeat once again: Vovchansk is 4 kilometres from the border. It was extremely difficult to build fortifications. But I would like to emphasise once again that I am grateful to all the builders and military personnel who were working at these facilities. They made every effort to build the fortifications."
Background:
• On 9 April, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy inspected the construction of defences and fortifications near the border with Russia in Kharkiv Oblast.
• On 6 April, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that the construction of defensive structures on all fronts should be completed "in a couple of months". On some fronts, up to 98% of the work has now been done.
• Since the beginning of 2024, UAH 20 billion (about US$524 million) has been allocated from the state budget's reserve fund for the construction of fortifications. Other sources of funding have contributed an additional UAH 10.7 billion (US$280.5 million).
• On 30 November 2023, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a meeting with the military leadership in Zaporizhzhia, where they discussed the construction of fortifications on the contact line with the Russian forces. It was reported that in Kharkiv Oblast, this included the Kupiansk front, as well as the Kupiansk-Lyman defence line, as well as the whole of Kharkiv Oblast.

Dat is het punt niet. Juichen om dode Russen kan me niet veel boeien, maar ik heb het gevoel dat hier vaak een beetje een lollig sfeertje hangt.

quote:Russian Bombs Continue to Rain Down in Belgorod Oblast, House Destroyed
Russian bombers once again dropped bombs on the territory of a settlement in the Belgorod oblast.
This was reported by the Russian Astra news agency.
On the night of May 12, a Russian air bomb fell on the village of Razumne, located 6 kilometers from Belgorod city. The unexploded ammunition was found in a parking area on Vereskova Street.
According to local information, later, on May 13, at 6:00, another air bomb fell near the site of the first hit.
According to Astra reports, in the past 4 days, 5 additional aircraft bombs of FAB-250 and FAB-500 have landed on the territory of the Belgorod oblast, in addition to those mentioned earlier. In total, since March of this year alone, the publication has counted 32 confirmed instances of air bomb discharges in the region.
Such a number of incidents is attributed to abnormal activations of modified Russian bombs equipped with UMPK kits. Their deployment in this area is linked to the high volume of tactical aircraft missions, with their routes passing through it.

quote:Poland calls for investigation into Russia's involvement in mass fires
A member of the Polish parliament, speaking at the National Defense Committee on Monday, called on intelligence agencies to investigate Sunday's fires in Warsaw. Witold Ziembaczynski, a deputy from the ruling Civic Coalition, stressed the need for a detailed analysis of such cases, since every major fire could be part of Russian sabotage activities. Source: Anadolu
In Warsaw on Sunday, a fire broke out in a shopping center on Marywilska Street, destroying a significant part of the building. Arsons were also reported in other suburbs of Warsaw . Particularly noteworthy is the speed of fire spread, which raises questions among local authorities and experts.
Several media outlets and public figures have reported a possible connection between the fires and the political situation in the region. Journalist Tomas Piatek drew attention to the proximity of the burning hall to the Technology Center of the Interdisciplinary Center for Mathematical and Computer Modeling.

quote:Outstanding mediocrity
Mikhail Mishustin’s future briefly looked uncertain last week until Putin recalled just how useless he was
If there was ever any truth to the rumours that a new prime minister was about to be appointed last week, all intrigue was rapidly put to an end when Putin once again nominated Mikhail Mishustin for the position.
An assessment of Mishustin’s first term in the job by experts at The Bell gave him a surprisingly positive appraisal overall. I can’t say I agree; for my part, Mishustin is the worst prime minister in Russian history. Praising a prime minister for the way in which he handled various duties that were often simply technical and in some cases even secretarial in nature is to humiliate Russia.
Dat is n voordeel van de Russische regering. Loyaliteit en het volgen van orders zijn belangrijker dan hun ervaring en bekwaamheid.SPOILEROm spoilers te kunnen lezen moet je zijn ingelogd. Je moet je daarvoor eerst gratis Registreren. Ook kun je spoilers niet lezen als je een ban hebt.

Defense of the Netherlands starts with the Baltic states, said Dutch Defense Minister Kajsa Ollongren in an interview in Tallinn. Dutch stealth fighters will come to Estonia for three months from December, and the Patriot air defense system will go to Lithuania for a couple of weeks in the summer.
Above all, according to the Dutch defense minister, efforts must be made to support Ukraine, and in this regard, fighter jets donated by Denmark and the Netherlands will arrive in Ukraine in the summer.
"We are currently on schedule for the first Danish planes to arrive in Ukraine this summer. We will start sending the Dutch planes in batches, hopefully we can start this in the fall," said Ollongren.
Together with the planes, spare parts and weapons must be sent to Ukraine, and Ukrainian infrastructure must be prepared. Currently, the Netherlands plans to donate 24 fighter jets.
"We have a few more that we need to make a decision on. Our air force is currently replacing them. This number is certain, but maybe we have a few more," said the minister.24 F-16s staan op de planning om dit najaar geleverd te gaan worden in batches.

“They hit me with a bottle on the head because I am a SVOshnik. That’s what they said, taking off their watch: “for the veteran,” Ura.ru quotes the words of a beaten and robbed man.
A participant in the “special operation” was attacked when he allegedly tried to protect a drunken friend who had started a showdown with his ex-wife’s lover. “I didn’t have conflicts with anyone, I was sober.
