❗️❗️❗️ According to the Financial Times, G7 countries are discussing the possible use of strategic oil reserves amid a sharp rise in oil prices.

🛢️ Some U.S. officials consider it appropriate to release 25–30% of the 1.2 billion barrels currently held in reserve.

📌 Data from this week shows that the average gasoline price in the United States has risen to $3.45 per gallon, compared to $2.98 a week earlier. According to the FT, prices are expected to continue rising.

📌 The surge in oil prices over the past week has created the risk of a sharp increase in inflation, which could harm global economic growth. China, India, South Korea, Japan, Germany, Italy, and Spain are among the world’s largest crude oil importers, making them particularly vulnerable to price shocks.

🇺🇦 “Ukraine has received requests from 11 countries — including Iran’s neighboring states in the Persian Gulf, as well as Europe and the United States — for assistance in countering Iranian Shahed-type kamikaze drones,” President Volodymyr Zelensky said.

🟦 According to the Ukrainian president, Ukraine has already responded to some of these requests with concrete decisions and support.

📌 “There is clear and strong interest in Ukraine’s experience in protecting lives, including interceptor systems, electronic warfare capabilities, and training in the use of these complexes. Ukraine is ready to respond positively to the requests of those who themselves help us protect the lives of Ukrainians,” Zelensky said.

🇫🇷 Emmanuel Macron:

📌 “When Cyprus is attacked, it means Europe is being attacked.”

📌 “France will begin a ‘defensive’ mission together with the United States aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz.”

📌 “Hezbollah must stop all attacks from Lebanese territory… and after that, of course, Israel must also halt its military operations and strikes against Lebanon.”

🇬🇧🇺🇸 After receiving approval from the British government, several U.S. Air Force B-52 strategic bombers landed at RAF Fairford in the United Kingdom over the past two hours.

🔘 Several B-1 Lancer strategic bombers also arrived at the base yesterday.

🟦 The aircraft are expected to begin combat sorties tonight, targeting military facilities of Iran’s regime. After completing their strikes, they are likely to relocate to the British base on Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, from where they could continue routine combat missions against targets in Iran.

🔵 🇮🇷 In the Strait of Hormuz, Iranian forces struck another transport oil tanker using a Shahed-type kamikaze drone.

🇺🇦✈️ Ukrainian Air Force pilot, Colonel Oleksandr Dovhach — commander of the 39th Tactical Aviation Brigade and a Hero of Ukraine — was killed today while carrying out a combat mission on the eastern front.

🔵 According to the Ukrainian Air Force, he was operating under conditions of significant enemy air superiority and heavy pressure from hostile air defense systems.

Preliminary reports suggest that his aircraft — likely a Su-27 — may have been shot down either by a surface-to-air missile launched from an S-400 air defense system or by a long-range air-to-air missile fired from a Russian Su-35 fighter jet.

🔘 The Ukrainian pilot had completed hundreds of combat sorties, striking Russian command posts, military equipment, and communications systems.

He took part in key battles for Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Kherson regions, as well as in operations around Snake Island (Zmiinyi Island).

🇷🇺 “Our military units and formations will be slaughtered like chickens.”

Russian reserve captain 3rd rank and Maxim Klimov sharply criticized the state of logistics and communications within Putin’s army.

📌 “We are hitting a wall: beyond short distances we can’t see anything. Meanwhile, the response from there comes — and it comes very effectively. Procurement for fighters directly on the front line is literally being done with a pipette, drop by drop,” Klimov said.

🎯🇮🇷🔥 Israeli fighter jets continue systematically destroying military infrastructure of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in Tehran.
