Lukashenka: “I feel that this operation has dragged on”⁠ ⁠

Alexander Lukashenko gave an interview to The Associated Press on May 5, a fragment of which appeared on the agency's website. In it, he stated that the Belarusian authorities did and are doing everything now to prevent this war from happening.

He said that he did not think that Russia's special military operation in Ukraine would take so long.

“But I'm not deep enough into this issue to say if it's going according to plan, as the Russians say, or the way I feel it. I want to emphasize once again, I feel that this operation has dragged on,” Lukashenka said.

Military summary for 04.05 from the Gunsmith⁠ ⁠

Response to the post “Provocations with nuclear weapons in the Donbass. The world community no longer knows what to expect from Biden⁠ ⁠

Are there any mathematicians here?

I'm just interested in the sequence of events
Biden: Alzheimer and I decided that if anything, you can press the red button
Putin: We have missiles that can hit a satellite and, if necessary, hit your nuclear missile
German Interior Minister Nancy Feather: Citizens, stock up on groceries, you never know

Question for mathematicians, if a missile with a nuclear weapon flies out of the United States and ours shoot it down, over which part of Europe will all this crap fly?

I understand that such an outcome is unlikely, but now I can’t sleep from curiosity

As the correspondent of Komsomolskaya Pravda noted, an air raid alert was announced in the city.According to preliminary data, a high-precision strike was carried out on the Amur railway bridge.

Over the past weeks, the Russian military has carried out several strikes on Ukraine's railway infrastructure. As explained in the Ministry of Defense, the nodes through which arms supplies for the Armed Forces of Ukraine were delivered were hit.

Chairman of the Parliament of Moldova said that Russia staged a genocide in Bucha⁠ ⁠

“To understand what happened here, this genocide, this suffering, you need to come. Because it is impossible to convey this through cameras and photographs. I want to responsibly say that the Ukrainian people are now fighting for the whole world in full. They are fighting not only for themselves, not only for Europe, but for everyone. (. ) This is not a fight between the military, because simply killing people who go to the store, trying to help their fellow citizens, is genocide,” Igor Grosu said, agora.md reports.

Recall that the Chairman of the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova, Igor Grosu, and the PAS MP, Lilian Carp, went on a working visit to Kyiv.

Head of State Maia Sandu also confirmed that there was an invitation from the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, to which the Chairman of the Parliament Igor Grosu answered

Moldova began exercises near the Transnistrian borders⁠ ⁠

The Ministry of Defense of Moldova on Wednesday announced the start of exercises at the Bulboaca military training ground, located near the borders of Transnistria.

The exercises began on May 3. They will last for a month. Until June 4, cadets of the military academy will practice their shooting skills at the training ground.

“Classes are held in accordance with the plan for the 2022-2023 academic year and are not related to the security situation in the region,” TASS quotes the rector of the Academy, Colonel Anatoly Bukuch.

Pridnestrovie has not yet reacted to the statements of the Moldovan side. Recall that a week earlier, a series of terrorist attacks took place in Pridnestrovie, which caused the convening of emergency meetings in Moldova. In the unrecognized republic, Ukraine was accused of terrorist attacks. Now checkpoints have been set up at the entrance to the cities of Transnistria, and the settlements themselves are patrolled by reinforced police squads.

These are far from the only military maneuvers in Europe planned for the summer and spring of 2022. Recall that about 18 thousand military personnel will take part in the NATO exercises Defender Europe-2022, which started on May 1 in Poland and eight other countries. The maneuvers will go on for almost a month, until the end of May.

More than 500 Polish soldiers will go along with the contingents of other countries as part of the exercises to Lithuania and Latvia. Swift Response will involve 9,000 military personnel from 17 countries. The theater of maneuvers, according to the command of the US Army in Europe, will unfold from the Far North to the Balkans

Provocations with nuclear weapons in the Donbass. The world public no longer knows what to expect from Biden⁠ ⁠

At the end of February, Joe Biden publicly stated that large -scale sanctions against Russia are an alternative to the new World War.

More than two months of active sanctioned pressure passed, but it is already obvious that such a policy of the West does not give an expected effect. Moreover, the whole world sees that in Russia there is no, as American politicians would like, a shortage of goods. And production and sales markets smoothly begin to rebuild east.

As for the United States and Europe, everything is accurate there, but on the contrary. All economic problems have only aggravated.

Biden's plan is slowly turning to endure. And what to expect from him now? Especially after its handshakes.

Actually, Joe Biden has long been trustworthy, even among the American population. He speaks of an alternative to the third world, but at the same time continues to pump Ukraine with various weapons.

Seeing such an adequate behavior of Biden, the Western public began to draw in my head various scenarios for the development of world security situation. And apparently in second place after the failure of the sanctions, people put a script with a nuclear provocation.

On this occasion, the American film director Oliver Stone put it on his Twitter account.

“I wonder if the US is preparing the ground for a nuclear explosion of low power of unknown origin somewhere in the Donbass, as a result of which thousands of Ukrainians will die? Of course, if this happened, God forbid, then the whole world, trained, like Pavlov’s dog, would have accused Russia. This wine was already installed in advance, regardless of who launched the device, ”he wrote.

“Russia would be Satan, Velzevul. Keep in mind that it is difficult to understand where the nuclear device is released, especially in such a rapidly developing situation, ”the director said.

In his opinion, such actions are necessary for Washington to influence “the remaining 50% of world public opinion, which does not belong to the western camp,” as well as “isolate China from Russia”. Oliver Stone is sure that in the event of a “fall” of Moscow, the “next target” will be Beijing.

Do not be afraid, Oliver. Putin was not in vain said that in the case of such provocations of Lule, everyone who is clumsy will be grasped. And there it will be too late to look for the guilty and sits down at the negotiating table.
