The US Treasury Secretary has agreed that Putin is a war criminal.

During a speech before Congress, Scott Bessent was asked a direct question about whether he considers the head of the Kremlin a war criminal.

The American minister gave an affirmative answer to this, saying, “Yes.”

The 46th President of the United States Joe Biden was diagnosed with prostate cancer with metastases in the bones.

This is written by American journalists with reference to the message of Biden's representatives, which came to them by e-mail.

The diagnosis was made on Friday. The form of cancer is aggressive; however, doctors believe that it is treatable.

Biden's family members are now considering therapy options.

Trump said Monday he will talk on the phone with Putin and then with Zelensky. They will discuss a cease-fire.

Hopefully it will be a productive day, a ceasefire will be reached, and this very brutal war, a war that should never have started, will end. God bless us all, Trump wrote.

Starting tomorrow, we await a ceasefire – this proposal is on the table. A full and unconditional ceasefire, one that lasts long enough to provide a necessary foundation for diplomacy, could significantly bring peace closer.

Ukraine has long proposed this, our partners are proposing it, and the whole world is calling for it. We await a clear response from Russia. Russia will have to end this war anyway.

The killings must stop. Ukrainian forces will be ready to respond symmetrically – to ensure fairness.

We have repeatedly heard from our partners that they are prepared to strengthen sanctions against Russia if Putin rejects a ceasefire. Time will tell.

Here in Ukraine, we have absolutely no problem engaging in negotiations – we are ready for any format. I will be in Türkiye this Thursday, May 15, and I expect Putin to come to Türkiye as well. Personally.

And I hope that this time, Putin won’t be looking for excuses as to why he “can’t” make it. We are ready to talk, to end this war. Thursday. Türkiye.

Due to the huge losses of armored vehicles on the battlefield, the Russian army has begun to transfer to horses and donkeys.

It is noted that the losses of Russian equipment in Ukraine exceeded 15,000 units.

At the same time, the production of new equipment lagged behind, and the stock of old Cold War equipment ran out at the end of 2024.

This is what forced the Russian troops to eventually switch to horse-drawn transport.

A video was also published on social media. It shows two Russian soldiers riding horses.

Activist Alexander Klevitov, who went out in the center of the Russian capital Moscow on May 9 with a poster reading "No to war. Fascism will not pass," was beaten by police.

A protocol was drawn up against the guy for allegedly "discrediting" the Russian army.

The activist was detained for an anti-war poster and taken to the Moscow police department.

It is known that the activist was held all night, and lawyers were not even allowed to see him.
