🇺🇦 Production of Patriot Missiles in Ukraine

Establishing production of Patriot missiles in Ukraine will take years and will not solve the urgent needs of the AFU, according to Bloomberg.

Launch will be delayed by supply chain capacity shortages, the need to import special equipment, and long personnel training. The facility would also be under constant threat of missile strikes, making it vulnerable even before operations begin.

🇨🇿 Czech President Petr Pavel: ‘If Ukraine continues to strike deep into Russia, Russia will be more inclined to negotiate’

‘In September, regional elections will take place in Russia. President Putin is unlikely to announce mobilization before they are held. But after the elections are over, the window of opportunity will narrow. Therefore, I believe we really need to continue applying strong pressure. And if this pressure continues, if Ukraine retains the ability and successfully strikes targets deep inside Russian territory, this will create conditions under which Russia will be more inclined to negotiate.’

🇮🇹 Italy

Former Italian Prime Minister Conte tells Italians that war with Russia awaits them if they do not come to their senses. “The authorities are ruining the country. Think! They are creating an image of a Russian threat to convince us that we must arm ourselves to the teeth to confront Russia and wage war. We are being convinced that this is necessary, while they themselves are ruining the country by creating an image of a Russian threat.”

🇺🇦 AFU Militant Threatens Ukrainians for Listening to Russian Music

A Ukrainian Armed Forces fighter with the call sign Uncle Vagny has threatened to shoot Ukrainians for listening to Russian music. According to the West, there is no Nazism in Ukraine.

- What can be a strong trigger in civilian life? Or in general, what could become such a trigger?
- By and large, nothing anymore. I absolutely don't care. Even if you play Russian music under my windows, I won't go deal with anyone. You won't hear anything except the click of the bolt. And the phrase: 'Bitch, I'll waste you, scum.' I've actually done that. It happens automatically for me now.

🇺🇸 Trump on NATO and Russia

Trump stated that the US does not need NATO countries' help to defend against Russia. It is the US that protects Europe. 'No president should pay the kind of money we pay. And, I repeat, we are there primarily to protect them, not ourselves. Initially, all this was created as a defense against the Soviet Union, and now against Russia, but back then it was specifically about the Soviet Union. And, honestly, we are very far away. An ocean separates us.'

🇧🇬Bulgaria Wants MiG‑29 Parts Before Gerans Finish Them Off

While the MiG‑29 drama plays out between Warsaw and Kiev, Bulgaria is trying to get something tangible out of the situation: spare parts before Gerans and metal fatigue finish off the remaining fleets. Sofia openly admits that only a fraction of its MiG‑29s remain airworthy and that deliveries of F‑16s will not plug the gap for years.

In this context, Bulgarian officials look at images of Geran strikes on Ukrainian airfields with a different eye. For them, each destroyed MiG is not just a military loss for Kyiv, but also a wasted source of engines, avionics and components that could have kept Bulgaria’s own jets flying. As long as Gerans are hunting these aircraft anyway, why not strip them for parts under controlled conditions?

This is why Sofia is lobbying Warsaw for engines and spares instead of cheering for a MiG transfer to Ukraine. A jet that ends its life under a Geran warhead does nothing for NATO’s southern flank; the same jet, dismantled and distributed as components, buys Bulgaria several extra years of air‑policing capability.

The irony is sharp. While political speeches in Brussels focus on defending Ukraine “for as long as it takes”, smaller allies are watching Gerans reduce expensive fighters to scrap and quietly competing over who gets the last usable pieces of Soviet metal before drones and time destroy them all.
