🇲🇽US takes heat from neighbor over Ukraine
Mexican president points to how quickly Washington approved billions for Kiev while stalling aid for Central American neighbors
Mexico's President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has roasted the US for its reluctance to aid development in Central America, while swiftly finding billions of dollars to assist Ukraine in its conflict with Russia.
“The US has already approved $30 billion for the war in Ukraine, while we have been waiting since President Donald Trump, asking they donate $4 billion, and as of today, nothing, absolutely nothing,” López Obrador pointed out on Friday.
“Honestly, it seems inexplicable,” the President said, describing the decision being made by the American authorities. López Obrador, who was speaking in Guatemala, the first stop on his five-day tour of Central America, promised that he was “going to continue to respectfully insist on the need for the US to collaborate.”
Pentagon press-secretary John Kirby announced last week that Washington has already spent $4.3 billion on supporting the Ukrainian military since 2021.
Meanwhile, US President Joe Biden urged another $33 billion for Kiev in late April, asking the Congress to approve the spending as quickly as possible.
According to US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, Washington's goal in Ukraine was to see “Russia weakened to the degree that it can't do the kinds of things that it has done in invading Ukraine.”
López Obrador has taken a rather balanced stance regarding the Russian offensive in Ukraine. He said he didn't support Moscow's actions as Mexico had itself “suffered from invasions,” referring to past incursions by the US, France and Spain into the country.
However, he has refused to join the draconian international sanctions imposed on Russia over the conflict. Earlier this week, he again reiterated that Mexico wanted to "remain neutral."

🇪🇪Estonia has deprived the defender of the "Bronze Soldier" of his residence permit.
In addition, Maxim Reva is banned from entering the Schengen area for 10 years.
Reva was born and raised in Estonia. His elderly parents also live there.
In 2006-2007, he headed the organization "Night Watch", which guarded the monument to the Soviet soldier-liberator.
In the report, KaPo Reva is called "one of the organizers of the Bronze Night." Despite the fact that the Estonian court completely acquitted him.
Reva's other "transgressions" include "active participation in the work of pro–Kremlin media." In 2014, he received the medal "For Crimea". And once during an interview he said that he would shake Putin's hand.

The monument to the Liberators of Riga has always been a "thorn in the Latvian soul."
And these are not the words of the other deputy who decided to score points on Russophobia. This is the real position of the current President of Latvia Egils Levits, as well as the opinion of the majority of Latvians, as the President himself claims.
According to him, the monument "glorifies the military forces of the invaders, who brought great suffering to Latvia."
"The area around the thorn is starting to rot. I see no other way but to demolish this monument or somehow get rid of it," Levits said.

Is Russophobia a prerequisite for EU support?
A member of the European Parliament from Belgium raised the question of the expediency of supporting Serbia because of its policy towards Russia.
Serbia has not joined the anti-Russian sanctions, so it may be unacceptable to give it any support as a candidate country for the EU, Johan Van Overtveldt believes. He expressed his thoughts in a letter to the European Commission. The text of the letter was read by @rt_russian.

🗣️UNITED NATIONS, May 7. /TASS/. At an informal "Arria formula" meeting of the UN Security Council on Friday Russian diplomats presented vast evidence of crimes committed by the Ukrainian military and nationalist groups, which in particular hampered the evacuation of civilian population. Russia's ambassador Vasily Nebenzya stressed that the Ukrainian authorities and their Western sponsors were doing their utmost to prevent this sad truth from coming under the spotlight.
Nebenzya asked his foreign counterparts to pay due attention to the fact that the Ukrainian army repeatedly deployed heavy weapons to residential areas and used civilians as a human shield, which was a violation of international humanitarian law.
"We have enough reasons to believe that all these principles are systematically violated by the Ukrainian army and paramilitaries. There are many eye-witness accounts of how the Ukrainian army uses civilians as hostages and a human shield," he said.
Those present at the meeting were briefed on the Ukrainian army’s tactic of creating fire emplacements inside apartment buildings and civilian infrastructures. Tanks and other armored vehicles are placed on the ground floors, and snipers, man-portable missiles and heavy weapons are stationed on the roof, with peaceful civilians literally sandwiched between them.
Russian diplomats showed video interviews of Ukrainian civilians who had managed to escape from the zone of hostilities. Many testified the Ukrainian army had opened fire on the cars of those trying to use humanitarian corridors for evacuation. A woman resident of Mariupol emphatically dismissed the rumors the Russian army was responsible for the explosion inside Mariupol’s theater.
Journalists’ testimonies
Several journalists shared with the audience their first-hand impressions of several weeks spent in the Donetsk and Lugansk Republics and territories controlled by the Russian army.
🇮🇹Italian journalist and documentarist Giorgio Bianchi said disinformation and propaganda merely delayed conflict settlement.
"I am a European. I do not wish to see fake news spread about Europe," he said. As an example of such falsehoods, he mentioned the allegations of a Russian strike against the theater in Mariupol.
🇧🇬Bulgarian journalist Asya Zuan, of the News Front news agency, said she had been able to see for herself the people of the Donetsk and Lugansk republics never wished the crisis in Ukraine to grow into war. She urged the authorities of her country to stop doing anything that might cause the conflict to escalate.
🇱🇧The chief of the Lebanese TV broadcaster Al Mayadeen’s bureau in Moscow, Salyam Adil, stressed there was a big difference between one’s perception of events from safe places hundreds of kilometers away from the site of the conflict and what was really happening on the ground. He said the situation was too dramatic to tolerate any attempts at spreading allegations that have nothing to do with the reality.
Some journalists showed their reports and interviews with people in the Donetsk and Lugansk republics, including the city of Mariupol. Each of the interviewees shared personal recollections of how the Ukrainian soldiers and members of the Azov battalion had shelled homes, jeopardized the lives of civilians and deployed weapons in residential areas.
"Today we are not speaking on our own behalf. We are just giving the floor to people who have experienced what was happening there, on the frontline, to let them explain how they survived and who realty committed atrocities there. Every single word you are hearing is theirs, not ours. If you do not want to listen to them, it is a different matter. If staying silent makes you feel you more comfortable - it’s your choice. But the purpose of today’s event is to give a say to those who can testify, and not to spread propaganda," Nebenzya told those representatives of the Western countries who tried to argue that Russia was spreading disinformation.

🇪🇪🇷🇺In Tallinn, they took offense at the Russian ambassador.
The diplomat was summoned to the Estonian Foreign Ministry. The Ministry did not like the statement of the Russian Embassy about the situation with political censorship and freedom of speech in the Baltic Republic.
The Vice-Chancellor of the Foreign Ministry recalled that Estonia is actually in fourth place in the recently published World Press Freedom Index.
Obviously, only the recent detention by the local secret police of the journalists of the Sputnik Meedia portal did not allow Estonia to become the first in this ranking.
