🇵🇱🇺🇦 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.

🇺🇸 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.

🇮🇱‼️ Harassment of Sumud Flotilla Activists by Itamar Ben-Gvir, the Zionist Regime's National Security Minister
🔺 The Zionist regime's National Security Minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, has sparked a new wave of domestic and international condemnation by releasing videos of himself at the Ashdod port. In these videos, he is seen harassing and humiliating detained activists of the Global Sumud Flotilla, who had intended to break the blockade on Gaza and deliver humanitarian aid.
— In one of the released videos, as dozens of human rights activists are seen kneeling on the ground with their eyes blindfolded, Ben-Gvir tells them: "Welcome to Israel! We are the owners of this house."
➡️ According to eyewitness accounts, Zionist forces used live and rubber ammunition when detaining the activists in international waters. The activists report that they were beaten, suffered broken noses and ribs, and had their hands bound with plastic zip ties.

Иран фактически укрепил контроль над Ормузским проливом с помощью военных контрольно-пропускных пунктов, проверок судов, дипломатических соглашений и в некоторых случаях сборов за обеспечение безопасного прохода, сообщило агентство со ссылкой на источники, включая азиатских и европейских судоходных чиновников, а также иранских и иракских официальных лиц.
КСИР играет центральную роль в новой многоуровневой транзитной системе, которая отдает предпочтение судам, связанным с союзниками, такими как Китай и Россия, в то время как другим судам могут потребоваться межправительственные соглашения или платежи для прохождения.
Два европейских источника в судоходной отрасли утверждают, что некоторые суда, не охваченные межправсоглашениями, платят иранским властям более $150 000 за обеспечение безопасного прохода через Ормузский пролив.
Иногда с судов взимается плата за безопасность и навигацию, которая варьируется в зависимости от груза.
«Не все страны подпадают под действие этих сборов», - цитирует Reuters иранских чиновников.

🇭🇺🇵🇱 Первый зарубежный визит Петера Мадьяра в Польшу выглядит как попытка перешить венгерскую внешнюю политику под новый центральноевропейский фасад. В Кракове, Варшаве и затем Гданьске венгерский премьер демонстративно обставил поездку как возвращение к «тысячелетней дружбе» с Польшей, а Дональд Туск немедленно подхватил риторику про действия «единым кулаком».
🔺 Практически это похоже на попытку реанимировать Вышеградскую группу: Мадьяр говорит о новом импульсе для V4, обещает саммит уже в конце июня и даже мечтает расширить формат за счёт скандинавов, Австрии, Румынии, Хорватии и Балкан. То есть старую центральноевропейскую платформу пытаются продать заново — уже как более широкий блок, который должен звучать весомее в Брюсселе и в вопросах безопасности.
🔺 В то же время Туск предложил Будапешту помощь и инвестиции для энергетической автономии — то есть польская сторона явно хочет превратить новый курс Венгрии в ещё один аргумент против российских энергоресурсов. Мадьяр, в свою очередь, старается показать, что его Венгрия больше не будет европейским вечным возмутителем спокойствия, но со своими правилами.
📌Проблема лишь в том, что V4 много лет жила не исторической памятью, а конфликтом интересов. Поэтому нынешний пафос о «едином фронте» пока выглядит скорее попыткой политического ребрендинга, чем уже готовой архитектурой влияния. Красиво говорить о новом блеске Вышеграда несложно; куда труднее сделать так, чтобы эта вывеска снова значила хоть что-то.

🇲🇾🇳🇴🇺🇸 US Rules May Have Killed Malaysia's $147M Missile Deal
Norway has revoked export licences for a naval missile system contracted to Malaysia in a deal worth US$147 million, with US-controlled components suspected as the decisive factor. The system contained American-origin parts, triggering re-export restrictions under US International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), which give Washington effective veto power over third-party arms transfers.
The cancellation exposes a structural vulnerability for Asian defence buyers pursuing Western equipment: procurement from NATO-aligned suppliers does not insulate buyers from US export control leverage. Malaysia, which maintains a non-aligned posture and has deepening economic ties with China, may have faced US objections on those grounds — though no official reason has been confirmed.
The episode signals that ITAR exposure is an increasingly active tool in US foreign policy, with direct consequences for Southeast Asian states seeking to diversify their defence procurement.

Did US restrictions sink Malaysia’s US$147 million Norway missile deal?
Analysts say US-controlled parts may have been a factor in Norway’s revoked export licences, underscoring risks for Asian defence buyers.

«Мы чувствовали себя заложниками двух войн, в которых невозможно победить, причем несоразмерно большая доля бойцов была родом из наших краев» — Дж. Ди Вэнс, «Элегия хиллбилли», глава 11.
Надвигается «Элегия хиллбилли 2». Бедные и забытые жители Америки будут оплачивать счета бролигархов, Даймона-демона и вашингтонских торговцев войной», - написал спикер парламента Ирана в Х, цитируя автобиографическую книгу Вэнса, изданную в 2016 году.

🇮🇱 Trump: I’m right now at 99% in Israel. I could run for prime minister, so maybe after I do this, I’ll go to Israel and run for prime minister.

🇱🇧🇱🇧 /🇮🇱 Hezbollah's Fierce Resistance Thwarts Intense Israeli Army Assault on Hadatha
➡️ For the third consecutive time, Hezbollah fighters have defeated the heavy offensive of the Israeli regime's army on the southern axis of the town of Hadatha, located in southern Lebanon.
🟡 Following several days of airstrikes and artillery shelling by the Israeli regime's army on the town of Hadatha, a Zionist armored convoy consisting of Merkava tanks, various armored vehicles, bulldozers, and other machinery launched a massive attack to enter the town. The assault began at 8:10 PM on Tuesday, May 19, with the movement of a combined armored convoy. The convoy was ambushed with rocket fire and heavy machine-gun fire from Hezbollah fighters near the sports ground at the southern entrance of Hadatha.
🟡 Subsequently, a Merkava tank on the route to the Hadatha pond, west of the town, was struck by Hezbollah fighters. The tank crew was forced to abandon it and withdrew under the cover of aircraft.
🟡 A third attack by Israeli Merkava tanks allowed them to advance as far as the intersection leading to Aita al-Jabal. However, Hezbollah fighters ultimately succeeded in destroying one Merkava tank and pushing back the Zionists.
🟡 Hezbollah fighters then targeted a third Merkava tank at the southern entrance of Hadatha with a Kornet anti-tank missile, and struck a fourth tank in the Al-Baydar area. This fierce resistance by Hezbollah forced Israeli forces to withdraw from Hadatha toward Rashaaf after seven hours of fighting.
✍️ As previously noted, Hadatha holds great strategic importance in this axis, and Hezbollah must prevent its fall at all costs. Hadatha serves as a shield for a chain of Lebanese towns. Its fall would trigger a domino effect, leading to the loss of several other towns in this axis—including Sarabin, Haris, Aita al-Jabal, Kafra, Tebnine, Beit Yahoun, and Qaoun—and would push the fighting deeper into southern Lebanon. Hezbollah enjoys strong support in this area and, leveraging the geographical conditions, can resist for an extended period and prevent Israeli infiltration into southern Lebanon. In this regard, the use of destructive and lethal FPV drones and anti-tank missiles is highly effective and can seriously impede the entry of armored convoys into the region.
