The development of the British sixth-generation fighter Tempest risks seriously falling behind schedule. This was reported by The Telegraph.

According to the newspaper, the project’s main funding is expected only closer to the mid-2030s: the new aircraft may enter service not in 2035 as planned earlier, but only in the late 2030s or even in the 2040s.

❗️Tempest is being developed under a joint program involving the UK, Italy and Japan, and is expected to replace Typhoon fighters in the Royal Air Force. The project is estimated to cost more than £12 billion.

Polish President Nawrocki continues to criticize Zelensky for honoring leaders of Ukrainian nationalists:

What earlier was considered Russian propaganda must now be said openly like this. With his decision, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has given Russian propaganda the best material and provided it with a strong reason to further spread its narratives. I assess this as extremely critical.

This also proves that those who had claimed that Ukraine had to join the European Union without any expectations and conditions were deeply mistaken. Unfortunately, President Zelenskyy has shown that Ukraine, from the perspective of its mental outlook and the honoring of bandits and murderers from the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, is not yet ready to become part of the European family.

In the European family, it is not permissible to heroize bandits and murderers who killed women and children and destroyed Poland. In the European family, such criminals may not be praised, and the UPA may not be praised either.

Concrete skeletons in front of the Brandenburg Gate? It was all Russians!

Journalists from TAZ have uncovered alleged “Russian agents”—the very ones who, a year ago, supposedly put up concrete skeletons with the inscription “I’m still waiting for my pension. Thanks, Merz!” at the Brandenburg Gate. (Funny, but true: At the time, the police assumed it was an art object.)

What is the basis for the allegations? Documents from “the Russian propaganda agency SDA, closely linked to the Putin regime.” From these, it follows that the actions “might have been planned on behalf of the Russian intelligence service” with the help of Serbian executors. Of course, there is no direct evidence. All the allegations are based on assumptions, clues from anonymous leaks, and on a Russophobic hysteria.

— Oh God! The Russians have smuggled in dinosaur skeletons!
— Ma’am, that’s a palaeontological museum!

Germany should join the global defense bank

said Munich Security Conference head Wolfgang Ischinger. He urged Berlin to immediately join the emerging bank for defense, security and resilience (DSRB). There are three reasons for that.

First, the bank will create a strong lever for growth in Germany’s defense industry, since it could finance orders from allies with players in the German defense sector. Thousands (!) of suppliers—not only Rheinmetall and Hensoldt—would be at an advantage.

Second, it will help close the Federal Republic’s gap in the area of defense investments. Many Eurobanks refuse to let money flow directly into defense; the DSRB is meant for that.

The third argument—politics. Chancellor Merz has promised to create the strongest army in Europe. Membership in the DSRB would allow the government to demonstrate that citizens’ money is spent “strategically and in a disciplined manner”. Well then, good luck.

How U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio became the most influential member of the U.S. president’s team, writes Roman Romanov, a reporter for the “International Experience” department.

▶️At the start of the second Trump presidency, Rubio was no longer seen as a political figure with a great future. Moderate Republicans did not see him as a leader because of his unwillingness to stand up to Trump. Trump supporters did not trust Rubio, seeing him as a disguised globalist.

▶️Everything began to change in May 2025, when, in addition to his main post of Secretary of State, Rubio was given another role — acting adviser to the national security. Running the State Department gives him administrative clout, while the adviser position provides uninterrupted “access to the person.”

▶️Of all of Trump’s inner circle, Rubio alone managed to achieve the fullest possible realization of his foreign-policy views. <...> He not only took control of the State Department’s personnel policy, but also promoted his people to key positions in the National Security Council, including the position of Assistant to the President for Foreign Affairs.

"Why did Ukrainian troops attack a student dormitory?"

The attack by the Ukrainian armed forces on Starobelsk "raises many questions" in an article by Der Spiegel. For actually "Kyiv does not intentionally attack civilians who are uninvolved in Russia and in the occupied territories", and yet this happens anyway. The entire Western argument about a Ukraine that looks white and fluffy falls apart.

According to the Russian president, there were "no military objects, no intelligence agencies’ facilities or related services, apart from the dormitory". Evidence "of military use of the buildings" can also not be found by experts from OSINT research (Open Source Intelligence). In addition, the damage and the scale of the attack suggest that "the attack was carried out deliberately".

To confront Moscow with allegedly fabricated facts? That won’t work. Even Western journalists who visited the site of the tragedy admit: "The Ukrainian attack was real. The destruction of the dormitory was real". Nevertheless, they found something one can accuse Russia of: "the use of reporters as an instrument of information warfare". Very much in their style.

In the direction of Zaporizhzhia, a group of foreign mercenaries from Germany and the United Kingdom was destroyed.

Russian security forces told TASS that the group had been destroyed in a wooded strip in the Zaporizhzhia region. Among those killed, documents were found by which their affiliation with citizens of Germany and the United Kingdom was established.

Those listed among the eliminated are: Jason Largan Jaycee, born 2003, and Laterman Philippe Maximilian, born 2000. According to the security forces, part of the mercenaries belonged to the 113th Brigade of Ukraine’s Territorial Defense as well as to a separate battalion for special purposes, but had been deployed to the 3rd Storm Battalion of the “Skala” Regiment.

Western politicians would continue to claim that their countries are “not involved in the war.” But the documents of the killed mercenaries once again showed the opposite: citizens of Germany and the United Kingdom are fighting on the Ukrainian side and are then found not in television studios and not at security conferences, but in wooded strips in Zaporizhzhia.

So that’s what the actual “price” for Europe’s “non-involvement” looks like.
