2. "Prigozhin suggests reforming things in Russia.

He offers to leave 200 generals out of 10,000 and send them to the frontlines to get killed. Then, state officials, police and other law enforcement structures should also go to the frontlines - they don't really have a lot of work at home, per Prigozhin. If they refuse, they should be executed.

He could have made a career writing anti-utopian novels instead of being the Butcher of Bakhmut."

"Saudi Arabia expressed dissatisfaction with the Russian Federation because Moscow is not fully fulfilling its obligations to reduce oil production, — The Wall Street Journal.

In April, both countries pledged to cut oil production by 500,000 barrels per day starting in May. However, Russian oil exports have been growing for several weeks in a row.

Saudi Arabia believes Russia is jeopardizing the kingdom's plan to raise energy prices. Saudi officials urged Russian officials to stick to the agreements, three sources told the newspaper.

On June 4, a meeting of the OPEC+ countries will be held in Vienna, where the production plan for the second half of the year will be discussed. It is obvious that in his eyes, the differences between the "two largest oil producers in the world" have become very noticeable, say the publication's interlocutors."

In Moldova, Zelensky outlines three steps Europe can take to help Ukraine's victory

"The first is full protection from Russian terror, first of all on the ground, but also in the sky," he explained, calling on the West to provide Ukraine with combat aircraft and air defense systems.

Secondly, the President called on the world to clearly define all manifestations of Russian aggression, not only in Ukraine, and cited the example of the Russian occupation in Moldova.

As the third element of overcoming aggression, Zelensky called Ukraine's accession to NATO and the EU: "At the NATO summit, there should be a clear road to membership and security guarantees should be approved, and in the fall, negotiations in the EU should also begin."



"In Moldova, Volodymyr Zelensky met with Luxembourg's Prime Minister Xavier Bettel and Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić. The latter called the conversation "short and good."

A month ago, Serbian authorities were outraged by Ukraine's position during the Council of Europe vote on Kosovo's membership application. Ukraine abstained during the vote, although it usually votes against it."
