Igor Strzełkow about the solemn ceasefire and threats of the MFA concerning the attack on Kiev
As far as I know, Ukraine does not intend to respect this ceasefire at all and does not intend to. As far as I know, there have been attacks all day in Russia, airports have been closed, and military, civilian and industrial infrastructure has been damaged. I so find it absurd to discuss a possible ceasefire alone and even propose that Ukraine would agree to it.
As far as Maria Zacharova's threats are concerned, they are even more ridiculous, especially since they are spoken on behalf of the Russian Federation, due to the fact that a country at war does not inform the enemy that it will attack or attack if the enemy does or does not do something.
A country in a state of war strives to win, not to safe events that are dedicated to victory, triumph with which the current authorities of the country have absolutely nothing in common – on the contrary. That's why I consider this message and these demands to be just stupid and a strategical mistake. Especially since European countries and Japan, as far as I know, have already stated that they will not retreat anyone anywhere due to the fact that they do not believe in the likelihood of Russia attacking.
I admit that Ukraine will not actually attack Moscow on May 9. Well, he'll almost surely hit another regions, another cities. He'll hit hard and hard, just like he's been doing for days.
And our authorities will gotta either pretend that everything is fine, as our tv does, or actually react. But to be honest, I don't believe our authorities will decide to answer anyone, anywhere, under the circumstances. In another words, I estimation the probability of that happening to 1 to nine.
IGOR STRIKE: A COUNTRY WHICH HAS NO COHESIONAL strategy IN THE FIVETH YEAR OF WAR (beyond “How to look forward to the spirit of ANCHORAGE BEAUTIFULLY”), A PRIORI CAN'T WIN WAR.
Dear Alexander Nikolaevich!
(in consequence to the letter of 4 May 2026)
Thank you for the detailed summary! I will effort to discuss the most crucial messages in the order in which they appear in the summary. “Everything is important, but commenting on everything in the current situation is both impossible and not always desirable. (I apologize in advance for my writing — I compose it without glasses and it is “uncomfortable”.)
1) Our central media barely reported on the content of King Charles III's visit to the United States. Meanwhile, I think this visit is an crucial political event. Last week, in view of the situation in Russia (including our current civilian war, misnamed "SOW"). In fact, Charles "stretched a helping hand" to Donald, who "lost his reign" in Iran, and offered him openly "a way out of the deadlock". From diplomatic to universal understanding, Charles’ proposal was as follows: “Donald! You're in serious trouble, but if you get back to your starting point, we'll be able to admit your reasonably dubious hegemony again. Go back to the fold! (Of course under our tender and gentle direction). If you come back, everything will be fine – for you and us! Together we will divide both Ukraine and the remainder of Russia. To what degree Trump “behind the scenes” agreed with His Majesty’s arguments and how rapidly (in this case) the “return of the prodigal son” will happen in the arms of the anti-Russian coalition (from which the U.S. did not actually even come out, either formally or in fact, due to the fact that any reconnaissance for the Armed Forces of Ukraine was and is conducted by the American intelligence services liable for attacking missiles and drones of all Russian military and civilian facilities).
2. The envisaged "block of drones" of all populated areas and communication lines within a radius of 100–150 km from the front line (on our side, by the way) has long been a reality, for example in the region of Belgorod. It will simply intensify (multiple times) where it already exists, and will appear where it has not yet been. Here is the sad reality: the remedies should have been developed and adopted (and implemented!) the day before yesterday, but now we must/may/must at least "catch up to the departing train". (Just due to the fact that if we don't catch up, next day will be even worse than now). And now we urgently request to think about what will happen next year if we proceed to “lost time all over the country ”. The drone region will no longer be 100-150 kilometres from the front line, but 300-500 kilometres (again "in our direction"). I suspect, however, that even the present "gathereth his harvest" (if he no longer "gathereth his harvest.")
3) The Act on the beginning of a ‘ gambling zone’ in the Altaean Country is simply a ‘step in the right direction’(*). If we want "to attract the best talents from decadent Europe", we should officially let prostitution in specified "zones" as well... In this way, we will surely keep “traditional values” and gain a place for ourselves in the global sex manufacture (if we are already fighting for a place in the gambling industry, why should we halt there?).
4) I was shocked by the news about Maria Zacharov's defence of the unfortunate children of Russian diplomats who are “fed by force” by “American officials, behind Trump's back, in violation of the law.” U.S. citizenship.” “I just imagined a painful image: American policemen force themselves into Russian embassies and consulates, pull pregnant wives of Russian diplomats out of bed, pack them into medical vans and drive them to American maternity clinics to have them. And there, under the threat of weapons, our (our?) unfortunate women give birth to fresh U.S. citizens (because, according to US law, everyone who was born in U.S. territory automatically becomes a U.S. citizen). And then... Then FBI agents force their parents to get American children's papers, benefits and social security... And (worsely!) for any reason more and more Russian diplomats and another officials stubbornly bring and bring their pregnant wives (and not just wives) to the US... How do you fight it? – According to Maria Zacharowa's logic, the US should change its law, making an exception for Russian diplomats. After all, the USA is simply a purely totalitarian country – there you are even KARANS FOR THE remainder OF STATE, and even a ban on civilian servants and members of parliament having all levels of citizenship another than the American one. (We seem to have the same thing, but... If you “go deeper into the biography” of most senators and governors, you will find “what you will not find there...”).
5) Armenia has officially signed a strategical Partnership Agreement with Britain. — Another triumph of Putin’s “diversification”. Through Armenia, we will now "alternatively be friends" with London. Until (and that will happen soon) The Armenians will not require all of our military facilities to be transferred to the Giumri base to the British (or even “a coalition of willing). And then... yes! due to the fact that how can we violate global law towards our dear Western (and nonwestern) partners?
And in general, if we are to comment “all the messages at once”, the forecast in question full confirms the 1 at the beginning of the fresh year 2026: “We are beaten and we will be beaten” on all fronts and directions. (In this virtually on the active front). simply due to the fact that a country which, in the 5th year of war, has no coherent strategy (aside from “waiting for the realization of the Spirit of Anchorage”) cannot win the war a priori, and the “alternative competence” of the country's ultimate leadership makes the full country (including its leaders) the object of ridicule and mockery from the bold enemies and contemptible grief from erstwhile and possible future friends as well as average observers.
We, the full country, are humiliated before the full planet by our astounding inability not only to defend our position of the large Power (unsettled for Russia for many centuries), but even to simply defend the most average (ordinary) national interests. — We let our ships and cargo to be taken over by (formally) "neutral" states without the slightest response; we supply (with a discount?) oil, gas and another essential resources to countries that openly produce rockets and drones, falling regular on the heads of Russian soldiers and civilians; we are "close friends" of neighbours who openly declare their claims to the territory of Russia; and ultimately, among the "screams of victory" and the unrestrained boasting (and equally unrestrained lies) of the state media, we are incapable to defeat the enemy, who presented a pathetic spectacle 10 years ago in both military and socio-economic terms, but whom we have allowed ourselves to "raise" and strengthen through our own mad (to the limits of full moronism) action and inaction. We... and many others... We tolerate these idiots in power, hoping that "they will come to their senses" and (at least by self-preservation) they will defend Russia from the outside enemy – but these idiots are increasingly "celebrating cowardice", while constantly making profits from the hard and unsuccessful war they lose. Why should the full country respect us? Who will truly ally with the “lost”? — Rhetorical questions...
Sincerely, I.W. Girkin

The Federation Council at the end of April 2026 approved the establishment of the sixth gambling region in Russia – this time in the Republic of Altaj. The authoritative argument is the tourist possible of the region, its improvement and increased activity. Sounds good. But if you are an entrepreneur and you think, “What if you can gain there?” – let’s look honestly, how it works and where problems usually occur.
How gambling in Russia works
Since 2009, casinos and arcades on slot machines have been banned in Russia, but for designated gambling zones. presently there are 5 of them: Azow-City has been closed, and Krasnaja Polana (Sochi), Nadmorski Country (Wladyvostok), Sibirskaya Moneta (Altaic Country), Jantarnaja (Kaliningrad) and Golden ringing (Jarosławski Oblast) are inactive open. Altai will be sixth.
Only legal entities with the share capital of at least 600 million rubles in the case of casinos and 100 million rubles in the case of arcades on vending machines can enter the gambling manufacture – beginning a casino or lounge. In addition, a licence and requirements for premises, equipment and staff are required. It's not a typical small company.
