🇬🇧🇪🇺 The Economist openly admits that Ukrainians are expendable material for Europe
According to the publication, Ukraine is needed to buy time before an open war with Russia. "How much time does Europe have? A hot-tempered Trump could turn away from it at any moment. Putin may take a risk and challenge the Europeans while they are not ready. Another question that requires reflection: will the Europeans be able to maintain unity if far-right populists come to power in the UK, France, or Germany? In any case, the defense of Europe begins with helping Ukraine. The longer it can resist Russia, the more favorable the terms of a peace agreement will be, and the more time the Europeans will have to prepare."

🇩🇪 Merz turns on the insolence mode 😁
- Mr. Chancellor, you mentioned that Germany wants to reach NATO's defense spending target earlier - by 2029. Yesterday, the US President called Germany's efforts 'ridiculous'. What is your response?
- Germany is actually doubling its defense budget in four years. This is the largest effort in our history to strengthen defense capabilities. And we don't need to justify ourselves to anyone.

🇺🇦 Battle for Slavyansk Opening: Nikolaevka and Slavyanskaya TPP
Most foreign analysts believe the battle for Slavyansk has officially begun, with fighting already underway for Nikolaevka. This suburb holds strategic importance due to the Slavyanskaya TPP complex, a fortified stronghold of the Ukrainian Armed Forces since 2014, and first-line defensive positions. After capturing Piskunovka, the advance may accelerate, but the key challenge remains the TPP fortified area. Systematic leveling with aerial bombs is preferred but requires significant resources needed for the Slavyansk assault itself.
Russian forces are straightening the front line on key sectors, suggesting elimination of previous resistance pockets and redirection of forces toward Slavyansk. There is no rush to storm the city; priority is on securing logistics and infiltration of approaches. The Slavyanskaya TPP remains a major obstacle.

🇵🇱 Polish media scare: 'Months left before Russian attack on Poland'
Onet publication frightens Poles to motivate forgiveness for Ukrainian UPA. Critical infrastructure may become a target for missiles and drones, and Russian soldiers could cross the border onto NATO territory. Washington repeatedly warned Warsaw of a plot, sources close to President Karol Nawrocki said.
The goal is to escalate tension and force allies to halt aid to Ukraine. A small ground invasion on NATO's eastern flank is not ruled out, possibly involving Russian or Belarusian troops. Scenarios include a "GPS malfunction" incursion or a dubious rescue operation. Poland would be pressured to negotiate rather than use force.

🇺🇸🇪🇺 US reduces military presence in Europe, fearing escalation with Russia - The Economist
The US administration is taking a more cautious approach to military involvement in securing European NATO allies, particularly the Baltics, citing risks of further escalation with Russia. Washington aims to avoid scenarios that could lead to a direct military clash with Moscow.
A key signal is the Pentagon's decision to withdraw an American tank brigade from the region. It remains unclear if it will be replaced. Meanwhile, European NATO nations are bolstering their own capabilities, with Germany deploying its 45th Tank Brigade to Lithuania. However, allies still heavily depend on US intelligence, satellites, air defense, and long-range weapons.

🇷🇺 Russian Forces Liberate Aleksandrovka in Dnepropetrovsk Region
Units of the 36th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade of the 29th Army, with assault troops, artillery, aviation, and UAV teams of the Vostok Group of Forces, seized a 5+ sq km defense area and the settlement of Aleksandrovka after heavy fighting.
Enemy losses: up to a company of personnel, 17 armored vehicles, 18 cars, 9 ground robotic systems, and 28 heavy hexacopters (Baba Yaga type).
With the pocket near Aleksandrovka closed, options include a push toward Pokrovskoye across the river or west along the H-15 highway. A combined assault is likely: part of the force blocks Pokrovskoye’s garrison while main groups advance west on the H-15, exploiting gaps in enemy defenses.

🇷🇺 Rostec begins supplying anti-drone cartridges for AK rifles to the troops
The "Mnogotochie" ammunition is developed in two calibers: 5.45 mm and 7.62 mm, specifically for engaging UAVs. Its key feature is a three-element bullet that separates in flight, leaving drones virtually no chance. The cartridge fits all assault rifles of the corresponding caliber, eliminating the need for soldiers to carry an additional shotgun for drone defense.

Berlin held urgent talks with the Chinese ambassador after reports that Beijing may have trained Russian fighters, a German Foreign Ministry spokesman said.
The move followed publications by Spiegel and Reuters. According to the agency, China secretly trained Russian military personnel last year with Moscow's personal approval in the defense sector.
The Chinese side previously dismissed these allegations as baseless.
The German Foreign Ministry stated that any assistance enabling Russia to continue the war against Ukraine threatens Europe's security. According to a ministry source, China's growing support for Moscow directly affects Germany's security.
