💪 Ukraine has significantly increased the number of strikes deep inside Russian territory thanks to the rapid deployment of Middle Strike UAVs, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi said.

“We have also achieved some success in suppressing Russian air defense at shorter distances, which allows us to strike logistics hubs, oil refineries, and facilities of the Russian defense-industrial complex more effectively,” he noted.

🇯🇵🇨🇳 Tokyo Demands Safety Guarantees After Shanghai Stabbing

Two Japanese nationals were injured on May 19 in a knife attack at a restaurant in Shanghai's Pudong district, where a 59-year-old suspect with a history of mental illness was detained at the scene. Japan's consulate formally requested Beijing clarify the facts, provide a full explanation, and ensure the safety of Japanese nationals across China. Tokyo also issued a consular alert to all Japanese residents in China.

The incident lands against an already strained bilateral backdrop — tensions have escalated following PM Sanae Takaichi's remarks suggesting Japan might intervene militarily if China invades Taiwan. Beijing has demanded a retraction; Tokyo has refused. China's Foreign Ministry classified the stabbing as an isolated public security case, noting the third victim was Chinese.

With diplomatic friction already elevated, the attack gives both governments an additional pressure point to manage in an already fragile relationship.

Ukrainian drones continue to terrorize Russian logistics.

🇵🇱🇺🇦 Polish Defense Minister:

"Of course, Ukraine must - and this is also being said by the military and in NATO - define targets much more precisely so as not to create threats to the security of the Alliance countries.

This can serve as Russian provocations and be used by the Russian Federation for propaganda, as well as to escalate the conflict and intensify hybrid warfare.

Therefore, Ukraine must be very careful: understanding its tactical goals in the war it is waging, it must defend the territory of NATO countries."

🇺🇦🇪🇺 Budanov: Ukraine must join the EU. We must do everything to make it happen quickly. And you all must help us, because Ukraine cannot wait decades for this event.

Of course, we will listen to your advice, but you must also not forget the realities we find ourselves in now.

None of the countries have encountered anything like this on the way to the EU. And, sorry, but we must accept Ukraine's exclusivity in this case.

Putin stated in China that they have friendly relations and are not fighting against anyone.
Of course, Russians are the friendliest people.

🇺🇸 Trump’s troop pullback in Europe is sparking backlash from Republican defense hawks, who say it weakens NATO and benefits Russia, - NOTUS

Lawmakers are considering using defense bills, funding restrictions, and even blocking Pentagon nominees to reverse or slow the withdrawals from Germany and Poland.

Some Republicans argue Congress should have been notified before the moves, while Trump allies defend the changes as pushing Europe to take more responsibility for its own defense.
