The US decision to allow Ukraine to strike military targets in Russia with US weapons does not apply to long-range ATACMS missiles.
Source: Michael Carpenter, Senior Director for European Affairs at the US National Security Council, in an exclusive interview with TSN on the national joint 24/7 newscast on the evening of 31 May, European Pravda reports
The White House spokesperson confirmed that the US authorisation is already in place and is intended to enable Ukrainians to counter Russian fire with US weapons.
Quote: "This does not apply to ATACMS or long-range strikes, but it is designed to enable Ukraine to defend itself," he said.
Carpenter recalled that as the full-scale Russian invasion progressed, the United States tried to provide Ukraine with priority equipment, from Javelin anti-tank missiles to air defence systems.
Background:
• The Wall Street Journal previously reported that the permission does not apply to ATACMS missiles.
• As European Pravda previously reported, Ukraine received confirmation authorising limited strikes on Russian territory with US-supplied weapons. However, President Zelenskyy was careful to comment on how this would be implemented in practice..
• Michael Carpenter clarified that the permission to strike with US weapons applies to the border not only in Kharkiv but also in Sumy Oblast.

Parliament’s deputy speaker documented the number of children killed or missing in the conflict, along with nearly 20,000 taken away to Russia, according to Ukrainian government figures.
Moldova’s parliament on Thursday (30 May) denounced Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as “genocide” in connection with Moscow’s treatment of children in occupied areas, but the assembly’s Moscow-friendly opposition parties refused to take part in the vote.
Sixty deputies in the 101-seat assembly backed the declaration, joining several national parliaments in adopting similar documents and also offering to continue extending assistance to Ukrainians fleeing the conflict.
The more than two-year-old invasion, denounced by pro-European President Maia Sandu, has buffeted the country lying between Ukraine and Moldova, with a large number of drone and missile fragments falling on its territory.
Parliament’s deputy speaker, Doina Gherman, documented the numbers of children killed or missing in the conflict, along with nearly 20,000 taken away to Russia, according to Ukrainian government figures.
Opposition member Reghina Apostolova accused Sandu’s Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS) of double standards, saying the chamber should also denounce sufferings of children in the former Yugoslavia. Communist Deputy Oleg Reidman urged caution, saying genocide was a legal term with criteria to be met.
Radu Marian of the ruling PAS rejected opposition objections, saying “These are our neighbours. Thousands of Ukrainian children, the children of refugees, have been housed here.”
Russia rejected allegations that it has abducted or deported Ukrainian children, saying they have been taken to safe areas, away from the conflict.
The International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant in March 2023 for Russian President Vladimir Putin, citing the forced transfer of children to Russia.

‘THEY WRONGED OUR DONALD’
Kremlin state TV propagandists couldn’t hide their dismay over Trump’s conviction, but they confirmed that Russia is still desperate for him to win back the White House.
Russian state-controlled media apparatus closely followed the legal troubles of former U.S. President Donald J. Trump, spicing up most of their coverage with pro-Trump clips from Fox News and Tucker Carlson. Russian propagandists were openly hoping for a hung jury and were visibly disappointed when Trump became a convicted felon on all 34 charges he was facing.
On Friday morning, Dmitry Kulikov, host of Solovyov Live, the self-described “most patriotic channel” in Russia, said on-air, “They wronged our Donald Trump!” Malek Dudakov, a political scientist who specializes in America, said that the hope for a miracle—meaning a hung jury—was extinguished. He said, with Russia’s affectionate middle name usage, “The miracle did not happen. Our Donald Fredovych was found guilty on all 34 counts.” For that, Dudakov blamed the judge and the jury and baselessly claimed that all of them were prejudiced against Trump. “Now, he is a felon,” he surmised, while also noting that the former president’s incarceration as a result of this conviction is unlikely.
Dudakov expressed hope that despite his legal troubles, Trump would still win in the upcoming presidential election. Kulikov and Dudakov jointly echoed Tucker Carlson’s assertions that their preferred candidate will prevail, “unless desperately panicked Democrats will organize an assassination of Donald Fredovych.” They expressed hope that Biden—not Trump—would die before the elections.

quote:China says it won’t join Swiss peace conference on Ukraine
Beijing said the talks next month did not meet its expectations, which include both Russia and Ukraine taking part.
BEIJING — China will not attend a Ukraine peace conference in Switzerland next month because it does not meet its expectations, which include both Russia and Ukraine taking part, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said on Friday.
Switzerland is seeking a broad-based turnout from different parts of the world for the summit in mid-June, which Bern hopes will lay the groundwork for a peace process in Ukraine.
Moscow was not invited and dismissed the talks as meaningless without its participation.
“The arrangements for the meeting still fall far short of China’s requests and the general expectations of the international community, making it difficult for China to participate,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said at a routine briefing.
“China has always insisted that an international peace conference should be endorsed by both Russia and Ukraine, with the equal participation of all parties, and that all peace proposals should be discussed in a fair and equal manner. Otherwise, it will be difficult for it to play a substantive role in restoring peace.”
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov suggested on Thursday that China could arrange a peace conference in which Russia and Ukraine take part.
En daar komt de aap uit de mouw. China wil helemaal geen vrede. Tenzij het onder de voorwaarden van Rusland is. Maar ja dat was al duidelijk met China's vredesplan natuurlijk. Waarin Rusland bijna alles zou krijgen waar ze op hopen.SPOILEROm spoilers te kunnen lezen moet je zijn ingelogd. Je moet je daarvoor eerst gratis Registreren.

An overnight Ukrainian drone strike in southern Russia’s Krasnodar region sparked a large fire and injured at least two workers at an oil depot, regional authorities said Friday.
Russia’s Defense Ministry said its air defense systems destroyed 29 Ukrainian drones and five missiles over the region.
Krasnodar region Governor Venyamin Kondratyev said an aerial attack set three tanks filled with petroleum products on fire in the Temryuk district, which lies just east of annexed Crimea.
“The fire has been assigned a high category of complexity,” Kondratyev wrote on Telegram.
Two workers sustained minor injuries and the blaze was eventually put out, Temryuk district head Fyodor Babenkov said Friday morning.
Babenkov released a photo showing a charred industrial site with pipes and tankers covered in firefighting foam.
Ukraine has stepped up attacks on Russia’s energy infrastructure since the start of the year. Previous attacks on oil refineries inside Russia led to a slump in the country’s gasoline production earlier this spring.
quote:German chocolate brand Ritter Sport defends business in Russia
The boss of German chocolate manufacturer Ritter Sport, Andreas Ronken, has defended his company's decision to remain active on the Russian market despite the country's ongoing invasion of Ukraine.
"Russian children also like to eat chocolate," he told Focus magazine on Thursday.
Many Western companies pulled out of the Russian market after Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
Ritter Sport, however, has continued to do business in Russia despite occasionally sharp criticism. Russia remains the company's second-largest market.

Geen idee hoe betrouwbaar deze "onafhankelijke" organisatie is, en of hij berhaupt wel onafhankelijk is. Maar met zulke cijfers, als ze waar zijn, kun je de Russische bevolking niet geheel onschuldig meer noemen.

Ik denk niet dat Oekrane een staakt-het-vuren moedwillig schend. Dus als Rusland zich koest houdt, zijn de Russen daar veilig. Oekraine heeft er niks aan om Rusland te provoceren. Die hebben al moeite zat met de verdediging.quote:
