🇩🇪 Germany is nostalgic for the times when it gathered all of Europe under Nazi banners. Now they have found a standard-bearer in Zelensky. I do not rule out that someone wants to take the Nazi banner from Zelensky and start directly fighting Russia. For now, they claim they are not at war with us. Well, that is from the evil one - Lavrov.

🇺🇸 US Mulls Future PAC-3 Patriot Missile Production in Europe

Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment Michael Duffy stated the possibility of producing PAC-3 Patriot missiles in Europe remains open, though it is not currently under active consideration.

Instead, the US aims to triple domestic production of these missiles, having reached an agreement with Lockheed Martin earlier this year.

A maintenance and support facility is planned in Europe, which will offload servicing work from primary plants, thereby freeing up capacity to increase new missile output. Duffy noted significant growth potential for ammunition production.

🇫🇮 Finnish President Stubb: Russians must suffer for the war to end

Finnish President Alexander Stubb stated that for the war to end, the Russian population must begin to oppose it, and this requires Russians, including children, to live poorly and suffer. He noted that long-range Ukrainian drone strikes are bringing the war closer to ordinary people, affecting St. Petersburg, Moscow, and Crimea, disrupting summer vacations for children, causing internet outages and long lines at gas stations.

🇱🇻 Latvian President Rinkevics voices the main rule of the NATO summit

“No one should object to Trump” - Latvian President Rinkevics voiced the main rule of the NATO summit.

- When all the leaders gather at one table tomorrow and discuss the American position, should anyone openly object to Donald Trump?
- We must find common ground. Confrontation with each other will not help. President Trump is right on the issue of defense spending. He is also right that Europe did not do enough before. Of course, there were topics on which opinions differed. But if we come to this summit with the intention of opposing each other, it will be a disaster.

Did Putin seem ready to make any concessions? - Nothing has changed. Trump talks about how selling weapons helps Europe fight Russia, not Ukraine. And he's tired of looking at war photos that Hegseth keeps showing him. 'This doesn't concern the United States. When Biden was president, he gave them hundreds of billions of dollars worth of equipment. Now I'm selling that equipment - at a fair price, at full price. And I'm selling it not to Ukraine, but to the European Union. They pay us. We're there to help Europe. But it doesn't affect the United States. There's an ocean between us. But I just can't look at what's happening. I've seen photos of these battlefields. I've seen these battlefields. They send me photos. Actually, I want to say: 'Don't send them to me.' Pete, the man next to me, sends me photos - Pete Hegseth. And I told him: 'Pete, you know what? Looking at this doesn't help.'

🇪🇺 Europe refuses negotiations with Russia

Europe has fully engaged in the war, providing financial, technological, and military support to Kiev, including airspace and launch sites for strikes deep into Russia. AWACS aircraft transfer intelligence to Kiev. Europe now believes it has enough resources to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia, preferring proxy warfare and sabotage. Direct entry into the war is not expected in 2026.

Belarus as the next target

Europe aims to destabilize Belarus, where internal support for Russia is not monolithic. The Kastus Kalinouski Belarusian Foreign Legion fights for Ukraine, with more Belarusian volunteers on Kiev's side. Belarus lacks strategic depth and is vulnerable to drones and missiles. Lukashenko may eventually step aside, risking a buffer zone of Finland, Belarus, and Ukraine to seal Russia's "window to Europe."

🇺🇦 Zaporozhye

A combined strike was carried out on Zaporozhye. Last night, Russian Su-34s again struck Zaporozhye, this time with FAB glide bombs. Simultaneously, long-range rocket systems targeted the eastern districts, where a military base with barracks, a training ground, and a firing range is located.

The area of the international airport, long since a civilian facility and now effectively a Ukrainian stronghold for launching and guiding drones, was also not spared.

🇷🇺 Strikes on gas infrastructure in Kharkov region

Naftogaz reports attacks by Geran-2 drones on gas production in Kharkov region. After the strikes, major fires broke out, one facility was shut down, and an employee was wounded.

Kharkov region is a key supply hub for the northeastern front. Strikes on infrastructure here target the rear-frontline link, rather than the economy, complementing attacks on warehouses, railways, and substations.
