🇵🇱 Considering Radek "Thank you USA for blowing up Nord Stream" Sikorski is married to Anne Applebaum—the schizo Russophobic hawk from an elite Jewish-American family, staff writer at The Atlantic with endless anti-Putin rants, board member at the National Endowment for Democracy, and Johns Hopkins fellow pushing regime-change fever dreams—it makes perfect sense he'd speculate Epstein was a "Russian spy."

🇷🇺🏴‍☠️Russia is ready to use its naval forces to protect its ships from being seized by Western countries and may respond to such actions with measures against shipping in Europe. This was stated by Nikolay Patrushev, an aide to President Vladimir Putin. Patrushev characterized the actions of European countries as piracy, saying that if Russia does not give a decisive response, attempts to isolate Russian ships from the seas, including the Atlantic Ocean, by the UK, France, and the Baltic countries could follow in the future.

"To ensure the safety of shipping, it is necessary to have a powerful naval fleet, which will be deployed in key maritime areas, including far from Russian shores, in order to deter Western pirates," Patrushev emphasized.

🇺🇦 Kirill Budanov, who has effectively become the new head of Ukraine’s negotiating team, supports a rapid peace deal with Russia under U.S. mediation. However, part of the delegation aligned with Andrey Yermak opposes such a move.

This was reported by The Economist, citing sources.

According to the outlet, divisions have emerged within the Ukrainian delegation. One faction, led by Budanov, believes Ukraine’s interests are best served by a swift U.S.-brokered agreement and fears the window for a deal may soon close. Another faction, still influenced by the controversial former head of the presidential office, Andrey Yermak, is far less inclined toward compromise. Zelensky is said to be balancing between the two camps while advancing his own position.

A source close to the Ukrainian team described the chances of a breakthrough as “50–50.”

Earlier, The Atlantic reported that some of Zelensky’s advisers favor a territorial compromise, including a withdrawal from Donbass, to end the war. Zelensky himself opposes this. Budanov was reportedly among those open to compromise.

At the same time, pressure from NABU has intensified against figures in Zelensky’s circle linked to Yermak. Former Energy Minister Galushchenko has been formally charged, and there are rumors that the former head of the presidential office himself could face suspicion.

According to one version, this renewed pressure may be connected to the course of negotiations to end the war. As The Economist noted, those associated with Yermak are among the main opponents of compromise.

🇪🇺 The EU has failed to reach consensus on a new sanctions package targeting foreign ports and banks that Russia uses to continue exporting oil, Bloomberg reports, citing sources.

Italy and Hungary oppose sanctions on Georgia’s Kulevi port, since it also handles Azerbaijani gas imports for Europe. Greece and Malta have raised doubts about restricting an Indonesian port.

Italy and Spain are also resisting sanctions on a Cuban bank, the only one operating in foreign currency and used by EU diplomats and citizens.

Greece and Malta have further voiced concerns over a proposal to replace the Russian oil price cap with a ban on maritime services such as insurance and transport. That move would require backing from the G7, while the U.S. position remains unclear.

Growing resistance inside the bloc threatens to derail the EU’s latest sanctions push.

🇺🇸🇷🇺🇨🇳 The U.S. State Department says Washington could return to nuclear testing on an “equal basis” with Russia and China, while ruling out megaton-class atmospheric explosions.

Officials also confirmed there is currently no agreement with Russia to continue observing New START limits.

The White House has not yet made a final decision on whether to resume full-scale nuclear tests. At the same time, the State Department did not rule out the possibility of reaching some form of understanding with Russia and China on future testing and arms control measures.

🇬🇧🇪🇺🇨🇭A British delegation reportedly led by Starmer’s security adviser Jonathan Powell was spotted in the lobby of the hotel hosting the trilateral Ukraine talks in Geneva. No official confirmation has been given about the presence of a “fourth party” on the sidelines.

At the same time, representatives of Italy, Germany, France, and Britain are in Geneva and are expected to meet separately with Ukrainian and U.S. officials after their talks with Russia, according to Russian media citing Italian sources.

European officials are not formally participating in the ongoing negotiations between Russia, the U.S., and Ukraine.

🐻 The British presence is hardly surprising, given London’s track record of undermining and derailing previous peace efforts.

🇷🇺 “Yolka”: The Drone That Hunts on Its Own

The Moscow-made “Yolka” interceptor is a fully autonomous system that detects a target, locks on, and destroys it without operator input.

No piloting skills or lengthy training are needed — deploy, launch, and the system takes over. Built-in AI assesses the situation, identifies threats, and strikes at the optimal moment, removing human error in critical conditions.

Its key advantage is total independence from communication channels, making it highly resistant to electronic warfare. Where drones once had to be taken down with small arms or complex interception systems, “Yolka” offers a new, streamlined solution.

With production scaling up, it is set for mass deployment — an effective answer to modern NATO UAV threats.
