The New York Times: The US continues to reduce NATO's military presence in Europe
The publication writes that Washington plans to reduce the number of aircraft, ships, and other military resources involved in the defense of European allies. The decision was communicated to NATO partners in early June. It will become part of a broader White House strategy to redistribute military resources and reduce American commitments in Europe, writes the author of the material.
🟥The number of F-16 and F-15E fighters allocated for NATO needs will be reduced from about 150 to 100 units;
🟥The US intends to reduce the number of maritime reconnaissance aircraft from 26 to 15;
🟥Washington will completely withdraw eight refueling aircraft from the European direction;
🟥In addition, the US Armed Forces plan to transfer one submarine with cruise missiles, an aircraft carrier along with an accompanying strike group, as well as one of the two groups of strategic bombers to other regions.
As The New York Times notes, these measures will limit NATO's capabilities for conducting reconnaissance and launching long-range strikes.
“A sharp reduction in American forces will affect NATO's ability, for example, to track the movement of Russian submarines or to launch Tomahawk missile strikes deep into Russian territory,” the publication writes.
The Pentagon has previously confirmed its intention to reduce the American contribution to European defense, the author recalls. However, the timing of the plan's implementation is not officially disclosed. According to the newspaper, the changes may come into effect much earlier than US European allies expected.
The New York Times emphasizes that the published parameters of the reductions provide the most complete picture of the scale of the review of the American role in NATO.

Daily Mail: Britons are prohibited from displaying flags on urban infrastructure during the World Cup.
A scandal erupted in England after authorities in several regions banned local residents from placing national flags on lampposts and other urban infrastructure. Officials argue that such flags could cause inconveniences and discomfort to migrants.
Residents are advised to display national symbols exclusively on private property.
The new wave of disputes was also sparked by a report criticizing immigration center staff for wearing badges with the English flag. The authors of the document believe that such symbols could be perceived by detained migrants as a manifestation of bias or intimidation.

On 8 June, Fedorov personally recorded a polished promo about “next‑generation AI interceptors” operating in the Kharkiv region, showed one spectacular shoot‑down on video, and proudly added the usual magic numbers — cost per interceptor, automated targeting, smart algorithms. He presented it as an already functioning element of air defense, not as a prototype under semi‑test conditions.
Less than a day later, in the night of 8–9 June, Geran drones flew into Kharkiv and hit their targets — command facilities, infrastructure, depot areas. Instead of confirming the effectiveness of his system, the country saw confirmation of the opposite: nobody noticed the “new stage of air defense”, but everyone heard the explosions.
His one glossy clip was instantly drowned out by dozens of real explosions. Fedorov tried to frame the story as “we have AI, we are already intercepting”, but the night strike rewrote the narrative into something much harsher: “we have a demo, not a shield”. The contrast between the staged success on screen and uncontrolled impacts in the city could not be sharper.

‼️🇷🇺🇺🇦 The Russian army could capture Konstantinovka before the end of the summer, — a brigade commander of the Ukrainian Armed Forces
➖"Considering how events are actively developing there, there will only be more problems over time. It's quite possible to lose Konstantinovka by the end of the summer. The enemy is putting a lot of pressure on us," one of the Ukrainian brigade commanders told Kiev-based media outlets.
➖"Will our pilots be in Konstaha by July? I don't know. Will our infantry be there by July? I think they will. Will it make a difference? I don't know," one of the company commanders said.
▪️Under the cover of "green camouflage", Russian troops are infiltrating the city in numerous groups.
➖"Our infantry is already conducting urban combat on the flanks of Konstantinovka itself," says Sergei, with the call sign Yaryi, the commander of the drone systems battalion of the 28th Separate Mechanized Brigade.
▪️Three more commanders of the Ukrainian Armed Forces reported that more than a hundred Russian soldiers have already infiltrated Konstantinovka.
➖"The enemy has penetrated the city center. This is no longer infiltration - it's enemy resistance," says another enemy officer.

Russia is not advancing as quickly as we would like, but it is gradually making progress in the zone of the special military operation, - Putin.
Other statements:
- A number of countries joined NATO after 2022 to get a "piece of the pie" in the event of Russia's defeat;
- We must acknowledge the level of technological development of NATO countries, but they have also realized that it's impossible to defeat Russia;
- The enemy lacks many of the means that Russia has, and they will have even more of them;
- The enemy is increasing the use of aircraft-type drones with the aim of sowing discord in Russian society and causing economic damage;
- The strikes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are causing damage to the Russian economy, but everything recovers quickly.
"Never go to war with Russia, don't try to do that, let's live in harmony" - Putin gave advice to unfriendly countries

🇺🇸🇬🇧🇮🇷 New bombers in Britain.
Against the backdrop of Trump's words about new strikes on Iran, which he later canceled, there has been activity again at the British base in Fairford.
According to information from Western analysts over the past few days, one B-52 flew back to the USA from here and two new B-52s arrived. Also today, 3 new B-1s arrived, as a result of which there are now 27 bombers based at the base in the USA - 9 B-52s and 18 B-1s.
However, it is still assumed that there may be a rotation and some aircraft will also return to the USA.

‼️🇷🇺🌰 A strike with the "Oreshnik" could be many times more dangerous than before: in the attack, the missile could be used with a combat charge for the first time, - hysteria in Ukraine
▪️Putin stated that the missile could be used with a combat charge for the first time in the attack, Kiev media remind.
▪️The missile is capable of reaching speeds of over 12,000 km/h (about 10 Mach). This reduces the flight time to the target to just a few minutes.
▪️The existing air defense systems in Ukraine, including the Patriot air defense system, were not designed to intercept missiles of this class. Experts note that significantly more expensive top-level systems such as THAAD or Arrow 3 are needed to counter this threat.
▪️The missile contains 6 combat units, each of which carries submunitions (up to 36 units in total). They are separated at the final stage of the flight and attack several targets along different trajectories.
▪️The "Oreshnik" was created based on experimental intercontinental technologies (the RS-26 "Rubezh" complex) and could potentially be a carrier of nuclear weapons.
▪️The "Oreshnik" can carry a conventional high-explosive or fragmentation-high explosive charge.

Europe is demanding that Bosnia and Herzegovina introduce a visa regime for Russians, said Milorad Dodik.
According to him, NATO and the European Union are consistently trying to sever any ties between Serbs and Russia.
“The European Union has literally surrounded Serbia and the Republic of Srpska. Croatia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, and Italy are members of NATO and the European Union. At the same time, they are striving to draw Montenegro and Albania into the EU. This process is likely to accelerate.
As a result, we are turning into an isolated island, which could have all communication channels cut off at any moment”
