Six Finnish companies participate in the Nato Summit Defence Industry Forum: Bittium, Forcit Group, Insta, Nokia, Patria and Sensofusion.

Finnish companies have state-of-the art expertise and products. Now time to support allies and develop joint projects.

The European defence industry is growing.

💥🔥 Confirmed: Ukrainian strikes hit two major Russian oil refineries simultaneously.

The Saratov Refinery, one of the largest in the Volga region, has been struck.

❤️‍🩹On a smoke-filled, burning street in Vyshneve, a little boy comforts his mother as explosions echo around them:

“Don’t be afraid. I’m with you. Don’t be afraid…”

No child should ever know the sounds of war. No child should have to comfort their parents while living under missile attacks.

Russia is a terrorist state, stealing the childhood of Ukrainian children every single day.

A cat trapped inside an apartment damaged by a Russian strike has been rescued and reunited with its owners.

While helping residents retrieve essential belongings from the damaged apartment, Ukrainian rescuers spotted the frightened gray cat hiding inside. They carefully brought it down from the unsafe building and returned it to its relieved family.

"For emergency workers, every life matters," Ukraine's State Emergency Service said.

Russia's attacks continue to devastate homes across Ukraine, forcing families from their homes and putting both people and animals in danger. Amid the destruction, rescue crews keep saving every life they can.

I met with Italy’s @GiorgiaMeloni for an important conversation. I informed her about the situation in Ukraine.

Russia does not stop attacking our cities and communities. Today, there were ballistic missile strikes again, and attack drones were launched as well. Sadly, there are people killed in Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Kherson. Russia has taken the lives of five people. My condolences to their families and loved ones.

We discussed the prospects for our joint work in Europe on anti-ballistic capabilities to provide greater protection for everyone – both Ukraine and every country.

We spoke about the need for additional interceptors and we are counting very much on support. Italy has always helped in a principled way to protect life. Thank you!

Trump could be a winner by backing Ukraine's victory. But Trump's fate is to go down as one of history's greatest losers due to his incredible stupidity, bottomless corruption, and blind devotion to the terrorist leader Putin.

President Zelenskyy at the NATO Summit in Ankara:

We are now eliminating around 30,000 Russian soldiers every month. Just imagine that scale.

In June alone, nearly 28,000 Russian soldiers were eliminated, and we have video confirmation for every single one of them. The overwhelming majority were struck by drones.

And frankly, we take no pride in this. We are saying this to show what modern war looks like - a war we did not start, but one we are forced to fight.

❗️Canada has announced a nearly $900 million military aid package for Ukraine, which will include military equipment, ammunition, and air defense systems. Prime Minister Mark Carney made the announcement during a meeting with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Ankara.

Zelenskyy noted that part of the aid intended to strengthen Ukraine’s air defense is already on its way to Ukraine. The two sides are also discussing joint energy projects involving Naftogaz and Canada’s continued support for Ukraine’s energy sector, reconstruction, and European integration.

[Ulf Kristersson @SwedishPM]

Great news! I am proud that NATO has chosen the Swedish platform GlobalEye as the Alliance’s new platform for airborne early warning and control.

GlobalEye will contribute greatly to core needs for our collective defense. Great for NATO and great day for Swedish jobs 🤝

Landed in Ankara for the 2026 NATO Summit.

For the first time since the fall of the Berlin Wall, Canada has met NATO’s 2% target. We’re building on that foundation, fast — to defend ourselves, secure our sovereignty, and support our Allies.

Senator Tammy Duckworth is everything Trump isn’t — a hero, a patriot, and someone who understands the cost of war ❤️‍🩹

As an Army helicopter pilot, she smelled the dust, the jet fuel, and the sweat-soaked body armor as she climbed into her Black Hawk on November 12, 2004.

It was supposed to be another routine mission north of Baghdad. It wasn't.

A rocket-propelled grenade ripped through the cockpit floor beneath her feet and exploded. It destroyed both her legs and tore into her right arm. But she didn't know. Running on pure adrenaline, she tried to press the pedals, not knowing her legs were gone. She pulled the cyclic stick. She fought to steer the helicopter toward a landing spot as black smoke filled the cockpit.

She kept trying to fly until her body gave out and she lost consciousness.

The pilot beside her, Dan Milberg, looked over and thought she was dead. Face blackened, body slumped forward, blood everywhere. He landed the shattered helicopter. Then one of her crew members noticed something. The blood in the cockpit was still moving. Her heart was still beating.

She was alive.

Duckworth was airlifted to a surgical hospital in Baghdad. She lost her right leg near the hip and her left leg below the knee. She was 36 years old and became the first female double amputee of the Iraq War. She was awarded a Purple Heart and promoted to Major while recovering at Walter Reed.

But she didn't stop. She served another ten years in the Illinois Army National Guard, retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel. Then she ran for office and became a U.S. Senator from Illinois. She was among the first handful of Army women ever to fly combat missions.

She chose helicopters because it was one of the few combat roles open to women at the time.

She once said: "I love ugly aircraft, machines that look like they shouldn't even be able to fly. The more brutal the better. And that's why I'm a helicopter pilot."

A hero.
A patriot.
Someone who understands the true cost of war — because she PAID it.

Ukrainian defenders continue to advance in the northeast of Donetsk region, pushing the russian fascist invaders back to the Zherebets' River.

The russian salient in this sector is becoming known as the "Lyman pocket." The gap at the mouth of the pocket is only 5 km wide.
