The construction of a plant to produce solid fuel for Ukrainian missiles in Denmark under a Fire Point project has been postponed until the end of 2027, while the cost of the project has tripled, Euractiv reported.
The project was initially estimated at 50 million euros, but the cost has now risen to 150 million euros.

Denmark eliminated more than 20 legislative hurdles for Fire Point to establish a solid-fuel production site for its Flamingo cruise missiles.
But despite that regulatory fast-tracking, the Ukrainian defence company has run into an obstacle that will be harder to overcome.
The Danish Business Authority has confirmed that safety requirements are preventing the use of the initially purchased building.

Zelensky’s cannon fodder Ukranian soldiers are being handcuffed during transportation to the frontline due to high desertion rates.
This must be what winning looks like...

Ukraine Zelensky "40-day operation to force Russia to ceasefire" by targeting civilian infrastructure (oil industry, ports and shipping, supply chains, warehouses etc) has spectacularly backfired.

As a result of Russia’s retaliatory strikes, Ukrainian ports are blocked, agricultural and steel industries have huge losses, petrol stations being systematically destroyed ...

Now Ukrainian supermarkets, including Kiev, face food shortages.

China officially announces that it does not accept the US sanctions against Iran

“China rejects sanctions that have no basis in international law”

Iran has issued its first foreign investment permit in South Khorasan province to a Spanish investor for a mining and mineral-processing project.

The EU vs Russia

Harsh blow face-to-face from Belgian Europarliamentarian 🇧🇪 Marc Botenga, to Ursula von der Leyen:

"You earn 30,000 euros per month"

"But do you know that nowadays in Europe 30% of people don't have money for three meals a day, and 40% don't turn on the heating and go cold...?"

"More than 100 million Europeans are at risk of poverty..."

"While you guarantee BILLIONS to Armaments Multinationals..."

Column by Max von Kreyfelt:

The factory stands here, the war stays there

On a Dutch industrial estate, the war simply begins at half past seven.

The barrier gate lifts, the coffee machine hums, and employees step into a factory where parts for drones and rockets are made. Outside stand lease cars, in the canteen hangs the weekly menu. Only the products go to a war that our government insists we are not a party to.

We merely produce peace with an explosive payload.

Europe has made a wondrous military invention: waging war without waging war. We supply weapons, train soldiers, share intelligence, and help make targets deep in Russia reachable. But as long as no Dutch minister presses the button, this is called support from afar.

As if Moscow will first call our legal department.

Former arms dealer Viktor Bout warned on Tucker Carlson that Russia might see European arms factories as military targets. Bout is no neutral professor of international law. But even a dubious messenger can pose a legitimate question: how long can you produce attack weapons while claiming you're just a spectator?

In Brussels, the answer is that Europe remains safe as long as the war is fought in Ukraine. That's like pouring gasoline through the letterbox and trusting the fire stays on the other side.

Meanwhile, the defense industry is growing. Production lines get a new purpose, factories rise, and billions are freed up. Citizens are being prepared for a reality that yesterday was still called Russian propaganda. Even "war economy" sounds from the mouths of politicians who, when thinking of peace, mainly think of too little ammunition.

Weapons supply doesn't automatically make a country a legal target. Even in war, distinction, necessity, and proportionality apply. A factory can only be a military target under strict conditions. But for those living next door, that's cold comfort. A missile doesn't read footnotes, and an air raid siren doesn't debate Article 52.

The greatest danger may not be what Russia can do, but what Europe tells itself. Our leaders treat escalation like a thermostat: one more degree, one more delivery, a bit more range. If it gets too hot, we'll just turn it back.

Only Russia has a button too. And it doesn't have a thermostat.

Thus, the European citizen becomes a participant in a conflict over which he has no say. His tax money funds the weapons, his energy bill pays for the sanctions, and his hometown bears the risk. He himself may wave flags, stay silent, and trust leaders who call every escalation temporary and manageable.

The first strike on NATO territory will be presented as utterly unexpected.

Like every disaster that has been carefully prepared for years.

Marco Rubio in 2016: "For years to come, there are many people on the right...that are going to be having to explain and justify how they fell into this trap of supporting Donald Trump because this is not going to end well”.

Finland's plummeting economy:

from scolding southern Europe to having more unemployment than Spain and almost more debt than Portugal."

Since joining NATO, Finland has gone from bad to worse.

Finland’s economy now look rather like the invoice for a foreign policy that seemed to forget how dependent the country had been on ties to Russia.

Neutrality once turned its geography into an advantage, but confrontation seems to have made the same geography expensive.

"Using the threat from Russia as a pretext, NATO has initiated an endless arms race that will permanently undermine the economy, social fabric, and international relations."

Retired General Fabio Mini, former Chief of Staff of the NATO Southern European Command, is skeptical about the prospects of NATO and the countries within the alliance, which are burdened by debt.

'Peacemaker' Trump:

"We're actually making money off the Russia Ukraine war because NATO is buying our equipment."

From promising to end the Ukraine proxy war and bring humanity back from the brink of nuclear annihilation … to profiting off of the carnage because the neocons sold it to him like a business proposal.

A Canadian mercenary admits that Ukrainians are exploiting the moral values of Russians, and that is why they travel between cities on commuter trains with ordinary passengers, while setting up headquarters and storage facilities in churches and hospitals.

Ukraine will not produce any Storm Shadows. This is merely the UK establishing plausible deniability as it prepares to attack Russia. These warmongering lunatics are taking us to the brink of nuclear war.

EU - Russian assets.

The EU is highly reluctant to revive plans to steal more than $200 billion in frozen Russian sovereign reserves and hand them over to cash-strapped Ukraine, EurActiv reported on Tuesday, citing sources.
