President Zelensky visits Snake Island as Ukraine war enters 500th day – BBC News
President Volodymyr Zelensky has visited Snake Island where Ukrainian soldiers defied a Russian warship at the beginning of the invasion.
He also thanked the US after Washington agreed to supply cluster bombs to Ukraine.
The weapon, which Russia has been using since the start of the war, has been banned by more than 100 countries around the world.
Despite this, Ukraine has been pressing for the artillery shells, which drop multiple explosives, to help with their counter offensive against Russian forces.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

Fake, because it really is a "double in fear".
However, let's assume the truth of the event, that is, a "mole" or an unspecified job of the intelligence and/or counterintelligence service, already the same at least 10 times.
Then it would be too lightly missed an opportunity by the head of Russia to end the war, i.e. people die.
But the question is also:
– Does he want to end the war, and does he like it when true opportunists come to visit him as fake peacemakers ?
– Maybe he changed his mind about what the goal is (ie "denazification and demilitarization") ? So now it is a growth of 0.5 of the social product, or that "something" is lost without knowing the culprit, such as: "change in the consciousness of the people", "they are one folk and we are another folk",… historical or liberated territory .
Wouldn't that ruin his authority as commander-in-chief ?
+ I know of the infamous end of some "bankers" who did this.

The BBC giving such prevalence to the war-mongering words of Sir Richard Shirriff as a devotee of Biden's genocidal intervention by proxy, shows the BBC to be increasingly operating as a propaganda tool to condone or overlook deaths amongst civilians in this regional conflict…
The paramount need to bring the war to a conclusive peaceful settlement, which is what the majority of ordinary Ukrainians want, remains shamelessly unreported or overlooked…

I don't think Zelenska cares about the threat they pose to the civilian population, he'd have negotiated peace by now for one thing if he did…

BBC is very well versed on the apocalyptic destruction if ever America and its puppies NATO gets directly involved in the Russia and Ukrain conflict, yet it is still doing their biddings .
TALKS AND MORE TALKS is the best Americans can do.

Did America give the due it promised to Ukrain?
If America is to fulfill all the promises due for Ukrain, World War would have been started and ended a long time ago.
Yet Ukrain that knows the devastating consequences it would befall had America openly joined in, still fell for the trick.
PUTIN only seeks for the world to have a good night sleep by keeping away the Americans at bay from placing every destructive weapons pointing right to his kitchen and Russia from a very close station at Ukrain. Nobody wants an enemy as a neighbors.

Cluster bombs are the best alternative if Ukraine can't have jets in time to support their counter-offensive. The reality is that cluster bombs are the most effective artillery weapon for counter-battery fire.
