Жуткие кадры взрыва московского НПЗ в Капотне федеральные каналы, конечно, не показали

Зато Первый канал сообщил:
«Свыше 190 украинских беспилотников сбили сегодня на подлете к Москве. Мэр Собянин сообщает в мессенджере МАКС, что средства ПВО продолжают работать»
(упоминается, что до НПЗ дроны долетели, но без подробностей — может, их тоже сбили на месте)

Россия-1:
«Столичный мэр Сергей Собянин сообщил, что в общей сложности силы ПВО сбили почти 200 дронов»
(на нефтезаводе тоже че-то случилось, но непонятно)

и так далее

В целом порядок такой:
сообщать прежде всего о том, как ПВО успешно справляются со сбитыми дронами, а о судьбе несбитых дронов – по возможности вообще не говорить или короткой строкой, без фото и видео

Ну Соловьев вообще требует, чтоб об ударах по РФ российские СМИ ничего не говорили, а рассказывали, только об успешных ударах по Украине — чтоб создавалось ощущение, что СВО идет по плану, война выигрывается)) А если такое впечатление будет создаваться по телевизору, когда у зрителя за окном горит НПЗ и не работает интернет, то значит информационная война уже выиграна!

Серьезно, так и рассуждает в прямом эфире, а не на совещании в АП, как будто его никто не слышит

In June 2014, after Russia annexed Crimea and began its military aggression against Ukraine, it was decided to hold the G7 summit in Brussels instead of Sochi and without Russia’s participation. Russia’s membership was suspended until it "changes its political course."

Today, in June 2026, Ukraine has been invited to the G7 summit. Ukraine is now present along the world’s leading powers, and Russia is not part of it.

The leaders of the G7 countries have agreed to tighten sanctions against Russian oil and gas exports.

Very emotional moment from the interview with Zelenskyy. You should watch this.

JOURNALIST: Do you miss being an actor?

ZELENSKYY:?I miss being a good father.

JOURNALIST: When your children were little, what did you tell them the most? What was the thing that you told them the most when they were small?

ZELENSKYY: I love you.

JOURNALIST: And what do you tell them now that they're older?

ZELENSKYY: Oh, I miss you.

JOURNALIST: When was the last time you cried?

ZELENSKYY: I will try to do it after our interview. No, I mean this, between us. I'm a normal man and then there are a lot of different moments, between us, almost each day, a lot of losses on the battlefield and civilians, and there are absolutely crazy attacks on our people.

And I'm just, it's… I mean, It's very difficult really, when I give orders (medals). I said about it. It's always difficult for me when I give orders (medals) to the mothers and fathers, who lost their children. In such moments, really, I often cry.

JOURNALIST: Are you a hero?

ZELENSKYY: No.

JOURNALIST: So who is your hero?

ZELENSKYY:?My hero? My children, my army, our army, and Ukrainian people. So I'm a part… I'm also a Ukrainian, so I'm a part of our nation. But now our nation, I think, that our nation is absolutely heroic.

My interview with President Trump on Friday afternoon was unfortunately complicated by weather issues. In spite of those challenges, we still had a substantial conversation on issues from the Iran war to the economy to the so-called “anti-weaponization” fund. Tune in for the full interview this morning on @MeetThePress.

[Open Source Intel @Osint613]

Oh Wow.

Trump ended an interview with NBC's Kristen Welker mid-conversation in Wisconsin, calling her a liar to her face before walking off.

Trump: "The elections are like a 3rd world country. You're Crooked...let's call it Quits . I've had enough."

Welker asked him to stay, saying she had traveled to Wisconsin for the sit-down.

Trump: "I've sat in the rain with you for an Hour! I've given you enough time. You ought to straighten out your press. You know what? A country can never be great with a dishonest press. Let's GO."

Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.

They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.

France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend

The moment of one of today’s Russian strikes on Kyiv.

I can see that fewer and fewer people are reading news from Ukraine. I understand that on a Sunday morning, people don’t want to read about war. They want to sleep a little longer, drink good coffee, and sit in the sun. I understand that. The algorithms on X limit content about war, destruction, and suffering. You have to make an effort to even see this information.

All of this is understandable on a human level. But unfortunately, if you remove Putin and the war from your information feed, they do not disappear from reality.

Putin is a sadist and a maniac. He is a threat to all of humanity.

There needs to be active resistance. News from Ukraine needs to be shared. People need to keep their focus.

Despite a sleepless night, I’m still here. And I’m grateful to everyone who continues to stand with us.

One day, we’ll drink morning coffee together in a beautiful, peaceful Kyiv.
