Ukrainian defense company Fire Point chief designer Denys Shtilerman said Ukraine’s FP-2 strike drone now carries an upgraded 200 kg warhead and can hit targets up to 370 km away. The modernization gives the system heavier punch for deep strikes against Russian rear targets. #Ukraine

Politico reports Ukraine is increasingly using its Lima electronic warfare system to make Russian drones and missiles miss. The system jams and spoofs satellite navigation, pushing weapons off target and adding a cheaper air defense layer as missiles run short. #Ukraine

Commander-in-Chief Syrskyi, Air Assault Forces commander Apostol and Norwegian Army chief Gen. Eirik Kristoffersen visited the front. The Norwegian general saw the southern sector, Ukraine’s weapons progress and current battlefield capability gaps. #Ukraine

Defense Minister Fedorov said Ukraine contracted a record batch of long-range 155mm artillery rounds, saving 16% of the initial cost through competition. Six manufacturers won contracts, allowing Kyiv to buy tens of thousands more shells for the front. #Ukraine

And we should put things the way they are: should russia conventionally test the EU's defence, the involvement of the US will at best be a nuisance, and the worst case scenario will be that the US will succesfully prevent the EU from defending itself as, and solidify itself as, a united entity.

Our European Defence exhibition opened this week at @europarl.europa.eu in Strasbourg with opening words of @president.europarl.europa.eu and SEDE Chair @masz.bsky.social Now it will travel across the EU MSs presenting #EUDefence 🇪🇺achievements to our citizens.

The official, publicly disclosed prediction of the EU now is that russia will be defeated and that its regime will collapse. Wow! It took them some time. @demiurg.bsky.social Great work!

To every European politician. Stop waiting for russia to choose peace. It won't. Arm Ukraine, sanction russia harder, and use frozen russian funds for Ukraine's defense. Europe has more than enough power to end this war. Arm Ukraine to win.

🤔 An internal crisis is brewing in Russia: dissatisfaction with Putin's policies and the course of the war is growing among Russian elites and security forces, — The Guardian ➡️ Putin's inner circle is gradually losing trust in him, and the Kremlin dictator himself is becoming increasingly isolated.

❗️Hungary, the EU and Canada condemned Russia’s mass overnight attack on Kyiv and Ukraine. Anita Orbán called the strike unacceptable, von der Leyen called it Kremlin brutality, Kallas called Oreshnik nuclear intimidation, and Carney said Russia is losing the war. #Ukraine

Russia’s massive attack on Ukraine last night shows the Kremlin’s brutality and disregard for both human life and peace negotiations. Terror against civilians is not strength. It's despair. We stand firmly with Ukraine, with further support on the way to reinforce its air defence systems.

I strongly condemn this reckless escalation. It is yet another stark reminder that Russia has no interest in engaging in meaningful peace negotiations. The EU remains unwavering in its support for Ukraine.

Tonight, Russia deployed the Oreshnik missile system and launched massive attacks across Ukraine—a ruthless display of brutality aimed at civilians and civilian infrastructure.

Russia hit a dead-end on the battlefield, so it terrorizes Ukraine with deliberate strikes on city centres. These are abhorrent acts of terror meant to kill as many civilians as possible. (1/2)

5000 US soldiers and their families will now have to move to another country, because the toddler in chief does not like chancellor Merz but is very fond of Polish president Nawrocki.

Perhaps Israel should not have antagonized Syria and Turkey, because this drone equipment is coming from somewhere, and said countries have no reason not to let it pass. By and large, they somewhat understandably feel that Hezbollah is in a legitimate fight against a 'murderous colonizer'. 🤷‍♂️

According to Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence, Russian occupiers in the Zaporizhzhia region suffered mass alcohol poisoning.
