Сounteroffensive could start at any moment – Ukrainian official-“Soon”KEK

The upcoming assault is a “historic opportunity” that Kiev “cannot lose,” the head of national security told the BBC

Ukrainian forces are “ready” to launch their much-touted counteroffensive, the head of the National Security and Defense Counciltold the BBCin an interview on Saturday. Aleksey Danilov said the military top brass arenow waiting for the right momentto launch the attack.

“It could happen tomorrow, the day after tomorrow or in a week,” Danilov answered when pressed about a potential start of the counteroffensive, which Kiev has been talking about for months. (No shit Sherlock!)

A major assault was initially expected to start in spring or even late winter, but Kiev repeatedly postponed it, citing adverse weather conditions and the need to obtain all necessary weapons and equipment from western backers.

Danilov said it would have been “weird” for him to reveal the exact date, as “that cannot be done.” He described theplanned attack as a “historic opportunity” that his nation “cannot lose”if it wants to become a “big European country.” (The EU has held out on their membership for 17 years already, they keep on declining them because they have not stopped the corruption; and did the same late last year!)

“We understand that we have no right to make a mistake,” he added. (Who told them that? What a weird statement!)

In April, The New York Times reported that Ukraine’s Western supporters might start to pressure Kiev into launching talks with Moscow should the much-anticipated offensive fail to yield any major gains.

Kiev has beensending mixed signals on the counteroffensive. Earlier this week, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky’s aide, Mikhail Podoliak, told Italy’s Rai TV channel that it “has been going on for several days”.However, on Thursday, another presidential advisor, Igor Zhovkva, contradicted that statement, saying Ukrainian forces were still preparing for the operation.

Danilov denied the offensive had already begun, claiming that Ukrainianstrikes against Russian“control centers” and “military equipment”were just routine operations. (How come these terrorists always end up dead then, if they are routine operations? These people are bizarro!)

Danilov’s remarks came as Russia outlined its conditions for ending the conflict with Ukraine. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin told TASS on Saturday that Kiev should abandon the idea of joining NATO and the EU, guarantee the rights of minorities, and declare Russian a state language.

Ukraine must also recognize the “new territorial realities,” the high-ranking diplomat said, referring to four former Ukrainian territories that joined Russia following referendums in autumn 2022, as well as Crimea, which reunited with Russia in 2014 following another referendum.

However, Danilov stated earlier in May that there could be no peace talks “on Russia’s terms.”

Indian official drains entire reservoir to find lost phone

Thefood inspectoremptied millions of liters of water before he found his broken device and lost his job

An Indian government official has been suspended for ordering the drainage of a reservoir so he could retrieve his phone, which he dropped while taking a selfie. By the time the phone was retrieved, the man had drained enough water to irrigate 600 hectares of farmland.

Rajesh Vishwas was suspended on Friday after his superiors concluded thathe had no authority to drain the reservoir, India’s NDTVbroadcaster reported.

Vishwas was bathing at the Kherkatta Dam in the state of Chhattisgarh on Sunday when he fumbled his Samsung Galaxy S23 while attempting to snap a selfie. The phone plunged into the dam’s four-meter-deep reservoir, and Vishwas quickly rounded up some locals to dive in and attempt to pull it out.

When this endeavor failed, the32-year-old food inspector hired two diesel pumps and emptied 2.1 million liters of water from the man-made lakeover the course of three days, stopping only when he was reported to his employers.

By the time the pumps were shut off,the water level in the reservoir had been reduced by almost half, and Vishwas was able to fish out his device. Unfortunately, it was waterlogged and unusable by that stage.

Vishwas protested against his suspension, arguing that the local water resources department had given him permission to drain the pond. However, a department official told local media that Vishwas was allowed to drain less than two meters of water, but had overshot this mark.

“He has been suspended until an inquiry.Water is an essential resource and it cannot be wasted like this,” local official Priyanka Shukla told The National newspaper.

(Ok we have officially entered into digitally programmed & controlled crazy world!)

China declining contacts with US military – Pentagon

Washington says it’s received no response from Beijing to a request for a meeting between the countries’ defense chiefs

(You mean silly Milley cannot call his buddyand tell them Bidan is about to go to war with China. This is BS propaganda to the USA to make us believe Bidan is not owned by China!)

The Pentagon’s attempts to reach out to China’s military in recent months have been ignored or rebuffed, Ely Ratner, US Assistant Secretary of Defense for Indo-Pacific Security Affairs, has claimed.

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin “believes in the importance of open lines of communication with the PRC [People’s Republic of China] and we have sought to build out those open lines of communication. Unfortunately… we've had a lot of difficulty when we have proposed phone calls, meetings, dialogues,” Ratner said during an event hosted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington on Thursday.

The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, along with the head of US Indo-Pacific Command Admiral, John Aquilino – and other uniformed and civilian officials – have asked Beijing for dialogue, but “those requests [were] rejected or not answered,” he said.

“The US and Department of Defense have had an outstretched hand on this question of military to military engagement, but we have yet to have consistently willing partners,” Ely Ratner explained.

Dialogue between military officials of the two countries is crucial “to prevent misperception and miscalculation and to prevent crises from spinning out of control,” the official insisted.

In the latest example, the Pentagon’s request for talks between Austin and his Chinese counterpart Li Shangfu at the Shangri-La Dialogue Forum in Singapore next week “has not been answered one way or another,”Ratner noted. (Why announce this info? Makes no sense, they will not be shamed by media. Pentagon are just showing China is shaming them, and they agreed to do it.)

According to a report by the Financial Times, Beijing told Washington earlier this month that “there is little chance” of Li sitting down with Austin in Singapore due to sanctions placed on the Chinese defense chief over his alleged involvement in the purchase of Russian advanced weapons. However, Ratner claimed that those restrictions in no way prevent Li from holding talks with his US counterpart.“The ball is in their court at this point,” he said.

The US and Chinese defense chiefs last negotiated at the Association of Southeast Asian Nations summit in Cambodia in November. At the time, Wei Fenghe was China’s defense minister. Austin and Li – who was appointed to his post in March – have yet to meet face-to-face.

Relations between Beijing and Washington have been severely strained since last August, when US House Speaker Nanacy Pelosi visited the self-governed island of Taiwan, which China views as part of its territory. They deteriorated further after the so-called “spy balloon” incident in February. Washington claimed it shot down a Chinese surveillance aircraft over its territory, while Beijing said it was merely a weather balloon, which had strayed into the US by accident. A visit to China by US Secretary of State Antony Bliken, which had been postponed over the crisis, has not happened to this day.

Last week, China’s topdiplomat Wang Yi and White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan held a meeting in the Austriancapital, Vienna. According to Washington, both sides agreed that the incident in February was “unfortunate” and pledged to “reestablish standard, normal channels of communications.” Chinese officials described the meeting as “substantive,” adding that Beijing would “continue to make good use of this channel of strategic communication,” the state-run Xinhua news agency reported.

Russia comments on Türkiye’s mediation ambitions in Ukraine conflict

Ankara’s arms supplies to Kiev are at odds with its stated desire to help reach a truce, Moscow said

(Uh Oh, Erdogan playing both sides, Russia is having none of it!Bad idea just before the runoff in Turkey!)

Continued Turkish weapons supplies to the Ukrainian military undermine Ankara’s status as a potential mediator in the ongoing conflict between Moscow and Kiev, a high-ranking Russian diplomat told RIA Novosti in an interview published on Saturday.

“Ankara has repeatedly declared its intent to secure a speedy ceasefire in Ukraine and revive the negotiating process through its mediation,” the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry’s 4th European Department, Yury Pilipson, told RIA.

“Arms and military equipment supplies to the Kiev regime directly contradict such intentions and are at odds with the role of a mediator,” added the diplomat, whose department is responsible for Russia’s relations with Türkiye and the Balkan nations.

Türkiye hosted peace talks between the Russian and Ukrainian delegations in March 2023, around a month after the conflict between the two neighbors broke out in late February. Those talks were interrupted as Kiev accused the Russian military of killing civilians in the Kiev suburb of Bucha, something that Moscow denied.

Ankara also mediated a grain deal between Moscow and Kiev together with the UN last summer. Türkiye then repeatedly called for peace talks to be revived, offering its services as a mediator.

In late March, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said peace in Ukraine could be achieved through “serious, determined mediation.” He also accused the West of trying to drag his nation into a war with Russia. Türkiye wants to secure peace between Russia and Ukraine “as soon as possible,” he said at the time.

In May,Erdogan also hailed his “special relationship” with Russian President Vladimir Putin, adding that this had helped him secure the extension of the grain deal. He also advocated a “balanced approach” toward Russia. The Turkish president has spoken regularly with Putin since Russia’s military operation in Ukraine began, and Türkiye is the sole member of NATO that has not imposed economic sanctions on Moscow.

At the same time, however, Türkiye has continued to send weapons and military equipment to Kiev. A Turkish company, Baykar Makina, supplied the Ukrainian forces with its Bayraktar TB2 strike and reconnaissance drones in the early phases of the conflict. Some of the unmanned aerial vehicles were purchased with money collected from the US and EU as charitable donations.

Since August 2022, Ankara has also been providing Kiev with its ‘Kipri’ mine-resistant armored vehicles. The first batch, consisting of 50 such armored personnel carriers, arrived in Ukraine on August 23 last year. Since then, the number of such vehicles in use by the Ukrainian troops rose to around 200 in mid-March, according to the Russian media.

Ankara has yet to comment on Pilipson’s statements.

(Erdogan is in deep shit now, all the financial benefits he got by joining the Eurasian Economic Committee might evaporate. Turkey must make a choice, not a good position to be in!)

Yep agreed, he and his family already stole billions from Turkey back in 2015-16. Why do you think inflation is always over 10%+, in Turkey and the money is about to crash and burn. he loves the free aid his family gets. The stupid thing is he thought Putin would be grateful for a friend. Silly dictator!

PS when the UN negotiated the grain deal for Russia to allow Ukraine to send their majority of grain to poor countries, guess what country got most of Ukraine’s grain shipments! Turkey! They have been playing a dangerous game. Ukraine sent hardly any grain to poor country, Russia honored their agreement and sent the majority to Africa. So how did Turkey get such a great deal!

Its obvious whats going on. As a reminder Russia will be patient and allow those who reveal their true motives. At some point, like today they call them out.

Russia worked many years on controlling their Russian anger, but revenge is never far from their minds. They will be fair to fair allies. Their diplomacy is understated
