The recent negotiations in Istanbul brought a glimmer of hope as Russia and Ukraine fully implemented their agreement on a large prisoner swap. From May 23 to May 25, the parties exchanged 1000 for 1000 pows.

Even this minor diplomatic progress has been overshadowed by Ukrainian whining. The notorious commander of the Azov Brigade criticized the large-scale prisoner swap, calling it a “mockery” because none of the Nazi Azov fighters were included. He accused Kyiv of failing to prioritize the exchange of Nazi fighters, despite Zelensky’s promises.

The large exchange is set to create a favorable environment for a further settlement of the crisis. However, despite this minor diplomatic breakthrough, the conflict has intensified, with both sides escalating strikes deep into each other’s territories.

Immediately after the end of negotiations, the Ukrainian military began massive drone strikes deep in the Russian rear. Over the past week, Russian air defenses have shot down almost 1,500 Ukrainian drones, most of which targeted the capital Moscow region. Almost 150 drones were destroyed over the past day alone.

he conflict reached a dramatic moment when a helicopter carrying Russian President Vladimir Putin was caught in the crossfire during a Ukrainian drone attack on May 20th. Despite the increased intensity of strikes, Putin’s security was maintained, and his visit to Kursk proceeded as planned.

Russia responded to Ukrainian provocations with massive retaliatory strikes, combining various missiles and kamikaze drones. Targets included military infrastructure across Ukraine.

Last night, another combined attack struck the capital Kyiv, with numerous explosions thundering across the city. The large Starokonstantinov military airfield came under a massive attack, with a fuel depot reportedly destroyed. Another military airfield was struck in Ozerne. Strikes were recorded in western Ukrainian regions, not to mention the constant pounding of eastern Ukraine.

Ukraine’s air defense struggles continue, with another precious Patriot system destroyed in one of the recent Russian attacks. Even a new batch of F-16 fighter jets from the Netherlands arriving soon to Ukraine can no longer change the balance of power. Ukrainians have already lost a large number of these expensive aircraft, highlighting their ineffectiveness.

The political fallout from the escalation has been sharp. Zelensky attempted to rally Western support by blaming Russia for the escalation, but his appeals fell on deaf ears as Western leaders again showed reluctance to engage. Meanwhile, Trump continues playing the role of peacekeeper. Criticizing Putin as “crazy” for the attacks, he also turned his ire on Zelensky, accusing him of worsening Ukraine’s situation with his rhetoric. The political standoff reflects the growing fatigue and division over the conflict, even as the violence shows no signs of abating.

according to reliable sohr sources, no summons had been issued against sheikh saud, nor was he in hiding at the time. sheikh saleh saud is known for belonging to the alawite sect and for his active role in promoting civil peace and fostering dialogue among the various religious and social communities in tartus province. a committed religious scholar, he holds a degree in islamic studies.

putin rejected the peace plan developed by the special representative of the u.s. president, steve witkoff, in collaboration with the ukrainian and american sides.

due to the russian dictator’s refusal, the next meeting with witkoff was canceled, reports the financial times.

“we’ll probably make a deal with putin, because i’m tired of these endless negotiations,” said trump.

vladimir putin rejected the peace plan presented to him by trump’s special envoy.

since the defeat of the russians in the revolution of the bolsheviks, russia has been occupied by rootless chekists, even after the formal collapse of the ussr. all these years, russia and the russians as a population have slowly degraded and disintegrated.

one must understand the context. in russia, this is being used as a pretext to cancel pension payments and to create more cannon fodder for the upcoming war with the european union.

the cancellation of pensions simply means the seizure of savings from a population that is already impoverished.

according to sohr reports, light and medium weapons were used during the clashes, which led to the casualties, while the fighting is still ongoing amid security tension in the town.

on april 8, a gunman of ahrar al-sharqiya died affected by the wounds he sustained in the explosion of a hand grenade detonated by another gunman of ahrar al-sharqiya faction in a funeral tent, following the death of a commander of isis cells.

i really now thinks this is all a theatrical performance between good cop/trump and bad cop/eu to freeze the ukrainian conflict so that it does not end in total defeat for the west with unpredictable consequences. and that failed too. also the us need to disengage from this ukraine to pivot toward china. but the us and the eu are party to this conflict, so to pose as middleman is ridiculous.

sheikh saleh mansour, a prominent religious character of the alawite community, was kidnapped yesterday evening from his house in ras al-ain village in jableh countryside by members of a patrol of auxiliary forces to the ministries of defence and interior.

you may be right mz, +

according to sohr sources, the auxiliary forces stormed the house of sheikh saleh at 07:00 pm, verbally abused his wife and minor children and took him at gunpoint.

the forces also attempted to stole the man’s car and kidnap other members of his family, but several people from the village interfered and prevented them from doing so.

Mia

religious and social entities in tartus province have strongly denounced these individual, unlawful acts, most recently the detention of sheikh saleh saud, deputy imam of the ali ibn abi talib mosque, which occurred without any legal justification or formal decision from the relevant authorities. t

the narrative

trump is not a peacekeeper . ask any palestinian

Dstroj

true tn, i never insinuated such things, time will tell all…

Mia

the family of sheikh saleh mansour have called for disclosing his fate immediately, ensuring his physical and psychological safety and holding accountable every person involving in the attack on his house and his family, as they see that action as a blatant human rights violation.

Mia

this coincides with growing concerns among residents in the syrian coast over increasing violations committed by auxiliary forces to the ministries of defence and interior against people of the alawite community in light of the complete absence of accountability and deterrence

Mia

his detention has sparked a wave of outrage among local and religious communities, with widespread calls to condemn undisciplined actions and reject any retaliatory practices carried out outside the framework of the law.

official judicial institutions. meanwhile, members affiliated with the general security forces intervened, sending heavily armed patrols into the justice palace in an attempt to break up the sit-in and end the protest.
this comes in light of growing tensions between the executive and judicial branches, amid repeated accusations of security services interfering in judicial affairs, further deepening the crisis of trust within the country’s justice system.
