British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has invited Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky to create a new international political, economic and military alliance directed against Russia, according to Corriere Della Sera .

The model assumes the formation of a European community led by Great Britain. In addition to Ukraine, Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, it is also planned to include Turkey later.

"Johnson is proposing an alliance of nations that zealously defend national sovereignty, advocate a free economy, and are prepared to take the toughest possible stance against the Russian military threat."
So far, Kyiv has not responded to the offer. Probably, the Ukrainian side is waiting for the summit of the EU countries, at which it will come up with the issue of granting Ukraine the status of an EU candidate. The interlocutor of the publication believes that the verdict will affect the next steps of Kyiv.
Recall that Johnson stated the need for NATO to strengthen Ukraine. However, he considers a diplomatic solution to the conflict unlikely. A little later, the office of the British Prime Minister reported that the partners of London and Washington supported the idea proposed by Johnson.

NATO is not coming to save you, lets's have a mock east European NATO?

In order to move away from Russian energy, the European Commission will promote rationing by making solar panels compulsory.
Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission ‘REPowerEU’ plan would cut the EU’s reliance on Russian gas by 66% this year and eliminate it entirely by 2027.
Consumers will pay a price, however, with the EU’s plan including energy rationing and compulsory solar panels on homes.

Some of these immediate costs, however, will be covered by the consumers. According to the European Commission’s website, households and industry will be required to make “behavioral changes” – such as turning down air conditioning and switching off lights – to reduce demand for oil and gas by 5%. By 2025, all commercial and public buildings are required to have rooftop solar panels installed. These panels will also be mandatory for residential buildings by 2029.

German Economy Minister Robert Habeck intends to submit an emergency decree, according to which the country's authorities will be able to restart coal and oil-fired thermal power plants if the country does not have enough natural gas, Bloomberg writes, citing the text of the bill .
"Such a request for additional coal power generation only occurs when there is a shortage of gas or when there is a threat of a shortage and the need to reduce consumption in electricity generation."

Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev noted that the Europeans quickly forgot about "green ideals" and environmental damage, in fact giving the United States access to the European energy market. "It's amazing how, without a second's hesitation, the Europeans spit on all their 'unshakable values' of the last decades, — the new dirty energy," Medvedev wrote.


Germany is ready to sacrifice "green" policies and increase carbon emissions in order to provide the population and industry with an uninterrupted supply of energy. The capacity of the mothballed energy equipment available in the country is about six gigawatts. About three gigawatts will be provided by the energy company Uniper. RWE AG is still deciding which stations can be returned to service. At the same time, the newspaper writes, Europe purchased almost 70% of coal from Russia, and Germany was the main buyer.

Former US Ambassador To Russia Claims Washington 'was Lying To Ukraine About NATO Bid'

“In 2021 we kept reiterating that Ukraine was going to join [NATO]. We kept saying that, over and over again,” Walt noted. To this, US ambassador McFaul replied, “Did you believe that?” He then asserted “our [US] diplomats were lying when offering Ukraine NATO membership to Ukraine,” adding “Yes! Yes! That’s the real word!”

The ambassador that served in office from 2012 to 2014 claimed that diplomats in Washington have been “lying all the time” about NATO membership of Ukraine, dismissing the threat to Russian security, and sarcastically adding “yet the Russians should trust them.” Walt then questioned the US ambassador’s controversial remark, asking whether it was “a common practice” for diplomats like McFaul in Washington to lie or make casual statements. “So our diplomats are lying?” Walt asked McFaul. “That’s the real world,” the latter reiterated.

McFaul’s remarks came as NATO's Stoltenberg claimed that Alliance was “confident that we will come to a quick decision" to welcome Finland, Sweden.

Former US Ambassador to Russia, Michael Anthony McFaul on Friday, May 20 said that Washington has been “lying to Ukraine” about its NATO bid since 2021. At the semi-annual Munk Debates, Harvard international affairs professor Stephen Walt was highlighting that throughout 2021, the US was cheerleading for Ukraine to join NATO despite Russia’s concerns about the defensive Alliance's eastward expansion. Walt underscored Moscow’s Russia’s longstanding opposition to NATO expansion which he stressed poses a threat to Russia’s regional security.

Bulgarian Prime Minister Kirill Petkov said that the EU countries should form a unified position on the supply of Russian gas.
None of the EU countries can overcome the gas problem alone.

"It is necessary to have a common position, because Russia and Gazprom have the ability to provide different conditions to different countries, which implies that some countries can pay, while others can not," Petkov stressed.
"The level of solidarity and unity should be as high as possible. The European Commission made it clear that payments in rubles are a violation of sanctions. The question is whether corporations and state-owned companies should be distinguished."

Since Germany and Italy open accounts in Russian currency, it means that other countries should not balk at this issue, the head of the department believes. There is no need to refuse settlements in rubles, and this topic should be discussed with the European Commission.

Brazil *will not* sign the WHO Pandemic Treaty. “National sovereignty is not something to be handed over to WHO or other entities and to be renounced just to join a club of seemingly advanced nations”…
The populist president reminded the media that he was one of the only world leaders who refused to impose the unscientific lockdowns.

“Moreover, I was the only statesmen that didn’t adhere to the lockdown policies,” Bolsonaro said. “I said we had to take care of the elderly and people with co-morbidities, and today studies outside of Brazil especially show that I was right.”

“And check this out, which state locked itself the most in Brazil? São Paulo. Which state had the most deaths per 100,000 people? São Paulo. That’s a sign that I was right.”

The United States does not have legal authority to seize Russian central bank assets frozen due to its invasion of Ukraine, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on Wednesday, but talks with U.S. partners over ways to make Russia foot the bill for Ukraine's post-war reconstruction are starting.
"I think it's very natural that given the enormous destruction in Ukraine, and huge rebuilding costs that they will face, that we will look to Russia to help pay at least a portion of the price that will be involved," Yellen told reporters here ahead of this week's meetings.
"While we're beginning to look at this, it would not be legal now in the United States for the government to seize those" assets, Yellen said. "It's not something that is legally permissible in the United States."

PSG and Senegal star Gueye under pressure to show support for anti-homophobia initiative

Senegalese president Macky Sall has voiced his support for Paris-Saint Germain player Idrissa Gueye, who refused to play in PSG’s match last weekend over a shirt designed to support an anti-homophobia initiative.

The midfielder boycotted the anti-homophobia campaign for the fixture away to Montpellier when teams wore a kit showing solidarity for the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia. The jerseys featured across Ligue 1, but Senegal’s head of state has now voiced his support for Gueye. “I support Idrissa Gana Gueye. His religious beliefs must be respected,” tweeted Sall.

PSG head coach Mauricio Pochettino, who wore a rainbow armband in the dugout, said Gueye was absent due to “personal reasons” but it has since been widely reported in the French media that Gueye, a devout Muslim, did not want to wear the shirt.


In a letter from its ethics council, the French Football Federation (FFF) has asked Gueye to explain why he sat out the Montpellier fixture.

“Your absence has led to many speculations that have been very widely interpreted as a refusal to take part in this operation to raise awareness of the fight against discrimination,” wrote council president Patrick Anton.

“Either these suppositions are baseless, in which case we ask you to express yourself without delay in order to stop these rumours,” Anton wrote. “We invite you, for example, to accompany your message with a photo of you wearing the jersey in question.”

In Senegal, where 95% of the population are Muslims, homosexual relationships are a criminal offence and can be punished with up to five years in prison.

Marjorie greene the racist woman. That's her opinion.

An infected resident of Stockholm received the necessary medical care, the disease is mild in him. Now the city authorities are trying to establish whether there are still carriers of monkeypox in the Swedish capital. An Italian citizen who has been diagnosed with the disease is also being treated. It is known that he recently returned from the Canary Islands.

Earlier cases of infection with this infection were recorded in the UK, Portugal, Spain and the United States. In Russia, there are no cases of the disease today, the Rospotrebnadzor indicated, and the risk of importing the infection into the country is extremely low. The agency has stepped up controls at the border due to increased cases of the disease in other countries.

The servicemen of one of the platoons of the 3rd battalion of the 115th brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine refused to defend the city of Severodonetsk in the Donbass.

The soldiers of the battalion recorded a video message to the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky and the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny. The Ukrainian servicemen said that they refuse to carry out further combat missions, as they do not have any reinforcements, which they have been waiting for for two weeks.

In addition, the battalion lacks heavy equipment and lacks ammunition.

- No equipment, no command. We were sent to certain death. In such a situation, we refuse to carry out combat missions, ” said the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Daniil Bezsonov, First Deputy Minister of Information of the DPR, posted a video message from the Ukrainian military on his Telegram channel.

- Another unit of "warriors of light" refuses to go to Donbass. They say that people die from this, ” he commented on what was h

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene compared the billions of dollars that Congress is rushing to send to Ukraine for humanitarian and military aid to a "money laundering scheme," saying that nonprofits are being funded by the "friends and families" of U.S. elected officials.

Speaking Monday on a podcast about the $40 billion package making its way through Congress, the Georgia Republican said that federal lawmakers "fund non­profits, they fund NGOs, they fund grants, grants that go to people, and if you really look into it, a lot of times it's their friends and families that operate these non­profits and NGOs, and it's basically like money laundering schemes."

While Charlatans like Bola Tinubu and others are vying to be the next President of Nigeria, Nigerians must become accustomed to the name "Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus."
Who?
Yes, he is the World Health Organization's[WHO] Director-General.
Which is the worst? Tedros or Tinubu as President?
Just thinking about it, makes me a tad bit concerned.

Tinubu will have some people voting for him, but Tedros, not so much if any.
Delegates from Nigeria will be in Switzerland from May 22 to 28 to sign "pandemic treaty"; handing over the country's sovereignty to the WHO in the event of a new pandemic.
Tedros gets to be a ruler as a result of unelected, faceless delegates signing away Nigeria's constitution.

Tech billionaire Elon Musk has warned that unless the United States tackles inflation, it will end up like socialist Venezuela.Musk told a virtual conference that he believes the government has printed too much money in recent years.

“I mean, the obvious reason for inflation is that the government printed a zillion amount of more money than it had, obviously,” Musk said, likely referring to COVID-19 relief stimulus packages worth trillions of dollars that were passed in recent years.
“So it’s like the government can’t … issue checks far in excess of revenue without there being inflation, you know, velocity of money held constant,” the Tesla CEO said.
“If the federal government writes checks, they never bounce," Musk added.
"So that is effectively creation of more dollars. And if there are more dollars created, than the increase in the goods and services across the economy, then you have inflation, again, velocity of money held constant," Musk continued.If governments could merely “issue massive amounts of money and deficits didn’t matter, then, well, why don’t we just make the deficit 100 times bigger?
“The answer is, you can’t, because it will basically turn the dollar into something that is worthless," the Tesla CEO declared.“Various countries have tried this experiment multiple times.“Have you seen Venezuela?
"Like the poor, poor people of Venezuela are, you know, have been just run roughshod by their government."

Elon Musk: "The Real President Is Whoever Controls The Teleprompter," Biden Would Read Anything Like "Anchorman"

"I have voted overwhelmingly for Democrats, historically. Like I'm not sure, I might never have voted for a Republican, just to be clear," Musk said.

"Now this election I will," Musk added. It was unclear if Musk was talking about voting for a GOP candidate in November's midterms, or in the 2024 presidential election.

Musk also assured people that if he does purchase Twitter, it will not be a "right-wing takeover as people on the left may fear" and he plans on making it a "moderate wing takeover."

There had been concerns that Musk's vow to make Twitter a "digital town square" where content is not be as strictly moderated and all speech encouraged could lead to an increase in hate speech or harassment.

Discussing the importance of free speech at the conference, Musk said: "I get trashed by the media all the time. That's fine. I don't care, good. Do it twice as much, I couldn't care less.

"But it's indicative of the fact that, even though I have a lot of resources, I do not actually have the ability to stop the media from trashing me," Musk added. "And that's a good thing."

Previously, Kuleba believed that "NATO is strong and can act," while the EU, in turn, only "expresses various levels of concern." However, in the course of the special operation of the Russian Federation, the attitude of official Kyiv towards these blocs changed.

“It is NATO as an alliance, as an institution that can do very little, if anything, the participants have helped a lot. But NATO as an alliance has not done anything. From the European Union - sanctions, strong political statements, economic assistance, funding for military assistance to Ukraine. The EU is back on the right path as someone who can shape the future of Europe," the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said.

Dmitry Kuleba threatened the European Union with a response if Ukraine does not receive the status of an EU candidate. The minister said that Ukraine is the only place in Europe where people "are dying for the values ​​on which the European Union is based."

Reports from Ukraine indicate that as many as 1,000 fighters remain inside the Azovstal steel factory - living in a labyrinth of deep tunnels initially designed as nuclear shelters.
Of those, at least three are former British soldiers with previous combat experience in Afghanistan. Two are former infantry corporals while the third is said to be a former combat medic.

BRITISH mercenaries are among the hundreds of soldiers trapped in the Ukrainian port city of Mariupol as they continue to mount a desperate last stand against Russian forces.
And Chechen troops, have been offered a financial bounty by Russian commanders to kill or capture any Briton who volunteered to fight, sources revealed last night. “They see Boris Johnson as the number one figure of hate and they are desperate to hit back at the UK for the help it has given to Ukraine.”

Macron proposed on Monday a "new European political community" open to non-member states like Ukraine, adding that it may take "several decades" for Kyiv to fully realize its EU ambitions.
Ukraine isn’t ready for EU membership — the EU isn’t ready for it either
Macron's Monday address came on the same day as Zelensky's government completed the second part of its EU membership questionnaire, and prompted frustration in Ukraine.

Oleksandr Merezhko, a member of Ukraine's Rada parliament and the current chair of its foreign policy committee, told Newsweek that Macron's proposal is "unacceptable to Ukraine."

"Ukraine needs fully-fledged membership in the EU," Merezhko explained. "We have fully deserved to be an EU member due to our fight for European values and Europe.

US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin urged Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu on Friday to move immediately to implement a ceasefire in Ukraine.
It is the first time Mr Austin has spoken with Mr Shoigu since February 18, six days before Russian forces invaded Ukraine, said Pentagon spokesman John Kirby.

The call came as the two sides battle along a long front line in eastern and southern Ukraine, with the Pentagon maintaining that Russia is weeks behind goals set in its war plan.
But Moscow has shown no indication of pulling back and is believed by western intelligence to want to take control of a swathe of southern Ukraine stretching along the Black Sea to Moldova.
