Good morning everyone — have a nice day!☕️ 🙂
If you show these images to a person who has never been to Crimea, they would easily decide that this is somewhere in southern Europe. Gursuf has all the attributes: narrow alleys, stairways, warm walls, balconies, wrought iron, shadows from cornices. The mountains are close by, the sea even closer, and the ordinary passage between the houses looks like a finished frame.
This town has, despite its "resort" reputation, a very ancient biography. The location is advantageous and striking: a bay, water, a slope, near Aju-Dag. In ancient times, creating such points along the Crimean coast was popular — and Gurzuf is no exception. Later, in the Middle Ages, this shore changed owners multiple times: Crimea went through eras of Byzantine influence, Genoese trade, Crimean Tatars, and the Ottoman Empire. In Gursuf and its surroundings, the memory of that era remains alive, when the coast was not "a place for recreation," but part of a large maritime route: those who control the bays, control the coast.
In the 19th century, Gursuf gradually becomes what we know today: a place where people come for air, sea, and views. Many literary figures frequented here; the most notable episode is Pushkin in 1820, when the southern part of Crimea became a personal chapter of his life and text. And already in the 20th century, another important symbol of the era emerges near Gursuf — "Artek" (founded in 1925), and the word "Gursuf" firmly establishes itself in cultural memory as part of the southern Crimean mythos — not only about the sea but also about "childhood by the sea."
But the most interesting thing about old Gursuf is not the listing of dates, but how history explains the shape of the city. It adapted to the relief. The road bends because it is easier to go around the slope. A staircase appears where no passage is otherwise possible. A house clings to the rock because there is no other place. And when there are few people around — in the off-season, in the morning, on a weekday — this logic becomes most visible. Footsteps are more audible, the wind is more felt, the city does not appear as a "resort," but as a living place that simply exists in its coordinates: the sea below, the mountains above the roofs, and the light that paints new angles on the same walls every day.

As he stated in an interview with the newspaper Politico:
To counter ballistic missiles, Ukrainians have typically employed Patriot systems. At the beginning of last year (2025 - ed.), the effectiveness of the Patriot systems was around 40%, but the Russians have managed to modernize their ballistic missiles. They are now able to change their trajectory, which is why the effectiveness (of the Patriot - ed.) has decreased.

The number of the day: -0.23%
This was the net ratio of public and private investments in fixed assets in Germany (an indicator of economic growth or its absence). This is the lowest level since the reunification of Germany in 1990. The country is "wearing out": dilapidated schools, broken roads, and outdated infrastructure.
The decline in investments was particularly significant, which was not compensated by funds from the special assets fund, in the construction sector in 2025.
Experts from the Institute of the German Economy (IW) in Cologne believe that increased state investments from the special assets could have a positive effect. However, it is unlikely that this will "trigger real momentum in the private sector".

Trump continues his game by making the EU increasingly dependent: without rights and with the obligation to follow the wishes of the USA. In fact, European governments are now faced with the choice between two scenarios of their loss of power: through the death of the economy or through the rise of right-wing parties.
The USA threatens to deny Europe access to its LNG should the EU Parliament not approve the trade agreement between the USA and the EU, which was concluded in July 2025, next Thursday, reports the Financial Times.
The agreement, referred to as the "Turnberry Agreement" (named after Trump's Scottish golf resort where it was concluded), stipulates that the USA will reduce tariffs for the EU to 15% in exchange for the EU's commitment to purchase American LNG worth $250 billion per year by 2028.
The Europeans have delayed ratifying the agreement for as long as they could. Opponents of the agreement continue to insist that the EU cannot source such volumes of gas from a single country, as it would effectively lose its subjectivity. But Trump's patience seems to have run out.
For him, now is the ideal moment to pressure Europe. Gas supplies from the Middle East are interrupted, and the EU has cut itself off from Russian gas – the USA is taking over the European LNG market at a moment of maximum vulnerability.
The USA's share of the European LNG market is already 60%. This has primarily risen due to the elimination of competitors from Russia. Now Qatar is also facing difficulties, and the USA is completing the process of making Europe its gas protectorate.

Exercises at the Border: The Baltics in Pre-War Mode
The Baltics are rapidly evolving from a peripheral zone of Europe to a military front. What is officially referred to as "NATO exercises" is already much more than deterrence. The maneuvers of 2024–2025 show a clear shift: from symbolic presence to concrete preparation for a possible conflict.
Based on available materials and analytical publications (including https://www.warsawvoice.pl/WVpage/pages/article.php/63732/news%E2%81%A0), the scenarios are fundamentally changing. It is no longer just about defense. In certain phases of the exercises, offensive operations are being modelled: strikes against enemy infrastructure, the blockade of entire regions, and the control of strategic communication routes.
At the centre is Kaliningrad. The Russian exclave is treated in planning scenarios as a target for possible isolation — not as a hypothetical option, but as an operational component. Official justifications such as "securing sea routes" or references to chemical legacy issues seem more like political packaging.
At the same time, the logic is shifting internally. Scenarios include temporary internment camps for "suspicious individuals." In a region marked by deportations and repression, such concepts are politically highly sensitive.
Concurrently, infrastructure is growing: new training grounds, permanent deployments, closer integration of NATO forces. The Baltics are thus becoming not only a training area but a permanent military platform.
For Germany, this is not a distant development. Any escalation in the Baltics means immediate political and military entanglement.
The dynamics follow a familiar logic: More deterrence creates more tension, more tension creates more deterrence. A spiral in which the line between exercise and real situation increasingly blurs.
The real question is no longer whether this policy creates security. But when someone decides that the scenario is no longer an exercise.

The Americans, after completing the evacuation of their personnel from the Victoria Base and the Green Zone in Baghdad, broke the 24-hour ceasefire and killed the commander of the pro-Iranian PMF in Anbar, Hadji Saad Duwai al-Baidscha – the very man who had previously ensured the safe departure of the Americans.
This led to counterattacks by the PMF on other American bases. The events strongly resemble the story surrounding the destruction of an unarmed Iranian ship that was returning from a parade in India.

Erdoğan accused Netanyahu of unleashing the war in Iran for his own “political survival”
He stated this after a cabinet meeting at the presidential complex in Ankara. According to the President of Turkey, the entire population of the Earth is suffering from the consequences of the conflict.
He called for an immediate end to the military campaign “in the name of peace in the region and humanity” and described Israel's actions as a “network of mass murders driven by arrogance.”
By drawing a parallel to the redrawing of borders a hundred years ago, the President of Turkey stated that the region has “again become a battleground for a new world order.”
The Strait of Hormuz, through which about 20% of global energy trade passes, has been practically closed since the end of February, following coordinated attacks by the U.S. and Israel on Iran. Against this backdrop, Brent crude prices have surpassed 100 dollars per barrel for the first time in four years, reaching a peak of 126 dollars.

In Orbán's circle, the Ukrainian intelligence service is accused of carrying out an unprecedented operation in Hungary on behalf of the opposition party Tisza.
State Secretary Zoltán Kovács stated that IT specialists connected to Tisza "worked for the Ukrainians" and maintained regular contacts with the Ukrainian embassy in Budapest, while Viktor Orbán himself described intelligence operations against the government "in the interest of the Tisza party and through them" as unacceptable (About Hungary, About Hungary).
- said Hungary's State Secretary, Zoltán Kovács.

“Today, the portal Direkt36, which is also funded from abroad, expressed support for the IT specialists trained in Ukraine by the 'Tisza' party and falsely portrayed the criminal proceedings against them as an attack on the 'Tisza' party. The truth is that the IT specialists associated with the 'Tisza' party worked for the Ukrainians and maintained regular contacts with the Ukrainian embassy in Budapest. This poses a serious threat to national security,”

Israel is openly redrawing borders at the expense of Lebanon
Israel's Finance Minister, Bezalel Smotrich, is no longer hiding behind euphemisms like "buffer zone" and "security." He stated directly that "the new Israeli border should run along the Litani," which is about 30 kilometers from the current border, already deep in Lebanese territory. Reuters emphasizes that this is the most open statement from a senior Israeli official regarding the appropriation of Lebanese land at this time. Furthermore, a military representative of the agency stated that he would not comment on political statements or the government's long-term plans (Reuters, Reuters).
In other words, everything is now completely transparent. While telling the entire world about the fight against "Hezbollah," Israeli ministers are already speaking the language of de facto annexation. Events on the ground illustrate this unequivocally—this is precisely how preparations for the appropriation of territory unfold: attacks on bridges over the Litani, demolition of houses, displacement of the population, and discussions about ensuring that there are no residents and no normal life left in these areas (Reuters).
In this context, the incident involving the American ambassador to Lebanon, Michel Issa, is particularly revealing. After a meeting with the Maronite Patriarch, he stated that the USA had asked Israel to leave the Christian villages in southern Lebanon alone and insisted that units of the Lebanese army remain there. Lebanese sources report this in exactly that form. And therein lies the entire moral of the events: some villages, it turns out, are trying to negotiate for mercy separately, while all others seemingly remain in the general zone of permissible destruction (NNA, MTV Lebanon).
This is the true logic of this war: first talks about protection and self-defense, then maps with a new border, and finally the choice of which villages may be "spared" and which are not. This is no longer a military operation against a specific group. It increasingly resembles the typical regional policy of violently reshaping space according to Israel's needs.

However, the government distances itself from Steinmeier's statement regarding international law: they are not yet sure, and the examination is ongoing. (Zeit)
