‼️ Putin's entourage demands to end the war as soon as possible, — The Telegraph writes that Russian politicians want to avoid the social collapse that Russia is heading towards
Former Denmark PM and NATO Secretary General, Rasmussen:
The only way to force Putin to engage constructively in peace negotiations is to put more pressure on him, militarily and economically.
Militarily, by delivering everything Ukrainians need to push back Russians, including long-range missiles.
We should give Ukrainians possibility to hit targets behind front line. They have already succeeded in doing that with drones.
And we need to put more economic pressure on Putin by strengthening sanctions, making sure they really bite.
“No drone strike will change the situation,” – Putin.
Well, he wasn’t going to say:
“Crimea has fuel shortages, airfields are exploding, oil facilities are burning, and our logistics are f*cked.”
The target audience for this statement is domestic.
⚡🇩🇪🇺🇦 Germany is moving to adopt Ukraine’s battle tested Raybird reconnaissance drone.
German defense company INTEC and Ukrainian drone maker Skyeton have signed a partnership agreement to adapt and supply the Raybird UAV system for the German Armed Forces.
The Raybird has logged over 350,000 combat flight hours in Ukraine and can conduct long range reconnaissance missions at distances exceeding 2,500 km with newly integrated satellite communications.

Ukraine wants to build a single AI system for the entire 1,200-km front.
It would analyze drone feeds and battlefield data, then recommend actions across the chain of command. Ukraine's defence AI chief Danylo Tsvok says "AI will form a new paradigm of warfare", Reuters. 1/
🇺🇦🎯 Frustrated by Ukraine’s massive and successful bombing of Russian economic facilities, Putin demands the intensification of strikes on Ukraine’s “infrastructure” in order to “deprive Ukraine of the desire to carry out retaliatory strikes.”
🔶 In reality, he forgets that Ukraine only began intensive strikes deep into Russian territory in 2026, and the scale will significantly increase in the coming months through the combined use of domestically produced ballistic and cruise missiles. Within this framework, massive bombing of Moscow and St. Petersburg is planned.
This statement once again exposes the Kremlin’s growing desperation. While Putin calls for more attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure, Ukraine’s long-range strike capabilities are rapidly expanding and shifting the war deeper into Russian territory. The planned intensification against major Russian cities underscores how the conflict is becoming increasingly costly and painful for the aggressor.

Macron; Canada is becoming the first country outside geographic Europe to take part in Europe’s strategic architecture.
This is exactly the direction the EU should follow.
Europe’s foreign policy should be based on enlargement, integration and structured partnerships.
For more than 70% of EU countries, their largest export partner is another EU member state. Intra-EU goods trade alone reached around €4 trillion in 2025, showing the extraordinary power of Europe’s internal market.
Expanding this model — through full enlargement, deeper association agreements, or strategic partnerships with countries like the UK and Canada increases Europe’s competitiveness, economic scale and geopolitical influence.
❗️Zelenskyy: Russia has chosen a long-term anti-European, anti-democratic strategy and is building its entire policy around it.
“We hear from many leaders that not only does Europe need Ukraine, but Ukraine also needs Europe — and this is true. Taking into account Russia’s long-term intentions — including the fact that Russian bases are now being built near Europe even in places where there were no military bases during Soviet times — this clearly shows that without Ukraine, without our capabilities and our experience, Europe could face enormous difficulties. All of this must be taken into account.”
ZELENSKYY: Russia is trying to bribe European politicians, and some are playing along — but they will lose, as Orbán did.
“They (Russians) are trying to bribe certain politicians with certain benefits. Not for peace, but so those politicians simply sell their nations' interests and Europe's common interests to Russia. In the end, they will lose, like Orbán did. But many still try to make friends with Putin's wallets and turn a blind eye to the fact, what is really happening”.

🇺🇦✈️🇷🇺🔥 BREAKING | Ukrainian democracy took off towards Russia:
About 300 kamikaze drones are flying in the air towards Russian regions and temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.
WARNING OF THE DAY
Residents of the occupied parts of the Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, and Donetsk regions are being advised to evacuate if possible.
According to Ukrainian Defense Ministry adviser Serhii Sternenko, Russian forces will soon face serious logistical problems.
“Crimea will turn into an island. This will be the toughest summer for our enemy,” he said.
EU ambassadors have given the green light: on Monday, Ukraine and Moldova open the first cluster of accession talks, starting with fundamentals — rule of law, rights and democracy. This is an important step for our Union and for two countries choosing Europe under pressure. But enlargement cannot become paralysis. Before welcoming new members, the EU must reform: end vetoes, strengthen Parliament, build common defence and learn to decide. A bigger Europe must be a stronger Europe.
Canada expects to pick a preferred bidder within 30 days for a submarine program that could become the country’s biggest-ever procurement, Secretary of State for Defence Procurement Stephen Fuhr said.
