Sweden has officially authorized Ukraine to use Swedish-supplied weapons, including the advanced long-range Meteor missiles, to target Russian aircraft within Russian airspace.

🇬🇧🇺🇦 The UK is considering selling oil seized from a sanctioned Russian shadow fleet tanker, with proceeds potentially supporting Ukraine.

The cargo, around 98,000 tonnes of Russian Urals crude, estimated to be worth around £35 million, was seized after the tanker was boarded by Royal Marines. UK officials reportedly believe the oil now legally belongs to the UK and are exploring options to auction it, with the proceeds potentially funding Ukraine or supplying frontline equipment.

If approved, it would mark one of the most direct examples of Russian assets being repurposed to support Ukraine.

The myth of Vladimir Putin as a geopolitical mastermind is officially dead.

His reckless war of choice in Ukraine has revealed a horrible strategist who mistook the weakness of his enemies for his own strength.

For nearly twenty years, the Russian dictator enjoyed a series of foreign policy ”wins” that made him look like a sort of strategic genius. From a Russian perspective, his aggressive moves seemed calculated and bold, but they only succeeded because Western leaders preferred appeasement over confrontation. Putin simply went further and broke more rules than anyone else was willing to tolerate at the time.

That dynamic changed completely when he launched the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Rather than collapsing in days, Ukraine stood its ground and exposed the profound incompetence of the Russian military command. Putin's complete lack of foresight has trapped his country in a brutal war of attrition that he cannot easily win or escape.

The long-term consequences for Russia are devastating. He has systematically destroyed his nation's future, isolated its economy, and turned it into a dependent junior partner to China.

Watching a supposedly smart but evil leader dismantle his own empire through pure arrogance is nothing short of pathetic. Putin is no strategic mastermind

Ukraine has launched serial assembly-line production of highly advanced supersonic missiles of its own design.

The new weapon is capable of reaching speeds several times greater than the speed of sound, making it extremely difficult for enemy air defense systems to intercept. The missile's warhead is designed to destroy heavily fortified strategic targets and command centers at long range.

According to experts, the large-scale launch of such production could significantly strengthen Ukraine's military capabilities and elevate the country's defense industry to a new technological level on the global stage.

What happens in Ukraine will shape the course of the 21st century. Either democracies prove they can defend freedom, or authoritarian regimes learn that aggression, brutality, and conquest are rewarded.

Russia has made it clear it is not interested in peace. So give Ukraine what it needs, Europe.

Zelensky was told that the Kremlin thought his open letter was “rude”.

His response: “they should’ve seen the first version “

I’ve been thinking a lot about the extraordinary outbursts of the President of the United States against female journalists... well, actually against journalists in general and journalism. But it feels like he saves his most childlike behavior and irrational language for female reporters, calling them all kinds of names that kids in kindergarten are given times out for. It’s stunning to me to witness such behavior from any leader, any CEO, any person of influence or importance. I’ve never witnessed someone like this raging, this weekend with @meetthepress host @kwelkernbc, just last week in the Oval Office with @cnn’s @kaitlancollins, calling women stupid or piggy, telling them to “smile”, calling them darling, demeaning their credibility. Every good man should denounce this behavior. Every person should be able to stand up for their colleagues and say “No more.”

Imagine this man screaming like this at your daughter, your wife, your sister, your mother... would you stand for it? No, you wouldn’t! And neither should any of us. It’s unacceptable and undignified. Period. End of story.

@BohuslavskaKate Ukraine is fighting a just war against a horrendous invader. Every Ukrainian solider is a warrior for Modern Democracy. I will write my nat'l legislators today to remind them of this.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

FREDERIKSEN: One of the things where I have disagreed with some of my colleagues is all the red lines that have been put on Ukraine, because I don't think you can win a war with red lines.

You remember in the beginning, we were willing to give away some of our F-16s. We were not allowed to do that because some allies said, "Well, we cannot put our fighter jets in Ukraine."

Then we had questions about long-range weapons. That was also red line. There have been so many red lines. It's almost like we have asked you to defend Europe with one arm behind your back.

That has not been fair. And one of the ways to get around some of these red lines is producing directly in Ukraine, because now you can produce some of the weapons that some allies have been refusing to give you.

🇺🇦💪🧐Ukraine has just deployed a battlefield technology that feels like a mix of science fiction and a game of Call of Duty.

According to The Times, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have introduced a new system that radically changes the rules of modern warfare.

A single operator can now control an entire swarm of drones in real time, see the battlefield through artificial intelligence, receive instant targeting data, and coordinate strikes with sniper-level precision.

What once required dozens of personnel and hours of planning can now reportedly happen within seconds.

Russian troops are already referring to it as “the Ukrainian digital hell.”

This is very impressive. Tyumen is so far away in northern Siberia and that is the oil capital of Russia.
Then, Ukraine can hit all Russian oil that matters.

Russians once worried about becoming a colony of the West. In fact, because of Putins war in Ukraine, Russia is becoming a colony of China.

[Ukraine News 🇺🇦 @Ukrainene]

Ukrainian long-range drones reportedly penetrated deep into Russian territory and struck facilities housing valuable MiG-31 interceptor aircraft.

Multiple hangars were destroyed, massive fires erupted across the base, and several aircraft were reportedly destroyed or severely damaged.

The MiG-31 serves as a critical launch platform for Russia's Kinzhal hypersonic missile system, making the losses particularly costly for Moscow.

The strike is expected to reduce Russia's ability to conduct long-range missile attacks and highlights Ukraine's growing capability to reach strategic military targets far behind the front lines.

Satellite imagery circulating online appears to show extensive destruction, burning infrastructure, and collapsed aircraft shelters. Russian authorities have yet to provide an official assessment of the damage.

A bold deep-strike operation that demonstrates Ukraine's expanding reach and delivers a costly setback to Russian military aviation.

@ZelenskyyUa @AmoneyResists The American people stand with Zelenskyy and Ukraine against this invasion. Sorry our leader is a Putin kiss ass who directs his cronies to support Russia.

The real adults silll be back in 2028!

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

It is time to end this war. But Russia’s ruler wants to keep fighting. That is why Ukrainian sanctions against this aggression are working. Last night, our drones covered a distance of about 1,000 kilometers to the St. Petersburg region – to the enemy navy’s arsenals and a base in Kronstadt. Our long-range sanctions also reached about 500 kilometers into the Krasnodar region – and hit an oil depot. These are important results of the joint efforts by warriors from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine, and the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine. Russia must end its war and stop its attacks on life. Any manifestation of injustice against Ukraine will receive a just response. I thank our warriors for their precision.
