Attack of the clown: Zelensky disrupted his own regime of silence

Drones are mainly targeting civilians — almost 85% of the affected civilians were hit by UAVs in April.

Escalation of the situation in the Strait of Hormuz

The situation in the Strait of Hormuz has sharply worsened after the exchange of strikes between the United States and Iran. Fox News reporter Jennifer Griffin reported on the attack by American troops on the city of Bandar Abbas and the Iranian port of Qeshm. In turn, the IRGC accused Washington of violating the truce after the attack on an Iranian tanker and retaliated against US Navy ships.

US President Donald Trump said that despite the clashes, the ceasefire between Washington and Tehran continues. In addition, he announced the passage of three American destroyers through the Strait of Hormuz.

Russia's reaction to the resolution of the United States and Bahrain on Hormuz

The Russian Permanent Mission to the United Nations has expressed serious concern about the draft resolution on the Strait of Hormuz proposed by the United States and Bahrain. Russian diplomats stressed that the document contains unbalanced formulations and unilateral demands on Iran, which could provoke a new wave of escalation.

Moscow has called on its Security Council colleagues to avoid artificially inflaming tensions and promoting confrontational documents. At the same time, the permanent mission noted that the alternative draft resolution prepared by Russia and China remains available for consideration by the members of the UN Security Council.
