NATO's Rutte:

Europe, with the UK and Türkiye and with Norway, is over 500 million people.

We are facing an adversary in Russia of about 120 to 140 million people.

And we are now overly dependent on one ally with about 350 million people making sure that we can defend ourselves against Russia.

That's not sustainable long term.

Damaged and destroyed U.S. aircraft:
- 4 F-15E Strike Eagle fighter aircraft. 3 were lost to friendly fire over Kuwait and 1 during combat operations over Iran.

- 1 F-35A Lightning II fighter aircraft. Damaged due to Iranian ground fire but returned to base safely.

- 1 A-10 Thunderbolt II ground-attack aircraft. Downed during CSAR operations for the pilot and WSO of the downed F-15E.

- 7 KC-135 Stratotanker aerial refueling aircraft. 2 KC-135s were involved in a mid-air incident over Iraqi airspace, resulting in 1 crashing, while the other was damaged and safely returned to base. 6 aircrew were killed in the incident.

- 1 E-3 Sentry airborne early warning-and-control system aircraft (AWACS). Reported damaged at Saudi Arabia’s Prince Sultan Airbase following an Iranian ballistic missile attack. However, subsequent commercial satellite taskings and reported photos of the aircraft indicate it is a total loss.

- 2 MC-130J Commando II special operations aircraft. Both were intentionally destroyed on the ground in Iran during CSAR operations to recover the pilot and WSO of the downed F-15E.

- 1 HH-60W Jolly Green II combat search-and-rescue helicopter. Sustained damage from small arms fire during CSAR operations to recover the pilot and WSO of the downed F-15E.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov comments on the statement of Lithuanian Foreign Minister Kęstutis Budrys about NATO's capability to destroy all Russian bases in Kaliningrad Oblast:

"Who is he? I think he has already been answered. You know, it is necessary to leave it behind the boundaries of attention and to pay less attention and stop looking for any meaning. So I stopped reading them. Well, they need to somehow confirm that they exist. Only in contrast to the famous philosopher who said: 'I think, so I exist,' they just exist."
