⚡US Said to Deny Air Cover to Europe Force in Postwar Ukraine. The US is refusing to provide air defenses to back the “reassurance force” the UK and France are planning in a postwar Ukraine, people familiar with the matter said. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has insisted a US so-called backstop is essential to deter Russia from breaching any future ceasefire deal. But European allies have concluded during discussions with their American counterparts that President Donald Trump won’t provide the guarantees they have sought to back the Europe-led ‘coalition of the willing,’ according to the people, who requested anonymity disclosing private discussions.

⚡The war in Ukraine won’t end until China pays for helping Russia - Senator Graham ‘What Trump is doing to get Putin to the negotiating table is “charm diplomacy.” I once told Trump, “I don’t care if you go on vacation with Putin.” We need to end this war — honorably and fairly — so we don’t reward the aggressor. All these “carrot tactics” won’t work. I am working with the Trump administration on tough sanctions against Russia and China. I have always believed that this war will not end until China pays for helping Putin. My sanctions package will pass the Senate next week: 500 percent tariffs on all countries that buy Russian oil, gas and other goods. I think it will be very painful. And I expect President Trump to act differently now, because it is clear that Putin does not want peace.’

⚡Washington Backs Terrorist Merger into Syrian Army. Reuters reports that the U.S. administration has approved a Syrian government plan to integrate foreign militants into the ranks of a new Syrian army unit. According to three officials from Syria’s Ministry of Defense, the plan will bring roughly 3,500 foreign fighters—primarily Uyghurs from China and neighboring countries—into the newly formed 84th Syrian Army Division, alongside Syrian personnel. A representative of the Turkistan Islamic Party’s political wing, Osman Bugra, told Reuters in a written statement that the group has officially disbanded and is now integrated into Syria’s security apparatus. The Turkistan Islamic Party was folded into the 84th Division about three weeks ago.

⚡Turkish aerospace company BAYKAR’s CEO Haluk Bayraktar: There are about 13,000 manned fighters worldwide—Russian, Chinese, US, and others combined. We believe all those platforms will eventually be unmanned, though that can’t be proven yet. But the field is clearly headed that way. To be clear, they may not be replaced one for one. It may take 3–5 unmanned platforms to replace each manned fighter. Unmanned systems will be everywhere—fighters, FPV drones, loitering munitions—in a crowded airspace. For nations to defend themselves, this is necessary—like making bullets. Potential customers know we deliver fast: 250 TB2s/year, 50 AKINCI UCAVs/year, and we’re ramping up as TB3 and KIZILELMA move into production. We don’t see KIZILELMA as a loyal wingman, though it can be used with manned fighters. We envision it operating solo with a fleet control system. It features aggressive maneuvering, autonomous operation, and control by few operators. KIZILELMA will also integrate AI to assist with command delegation and operations.

Almost 48hrs and not a single word from the Kremlin regarding Ukranian drone strikes. Even Medvedev has been awfully silent. I really hope the drone strike got to Putin. Cuz if he keeps playing the gentleman, it'll embolden Ukraine and NATO. They're testing to see how much they can get away with. And maybe one day they'll be bold enough to attack the Kremlin or Putin. 4 Likes 1 Share |

⚡Artem Timofeev, 37, suspected of organizing drone strikes on Russian airbases, became a Russian citizen years ago, registered as a private entrepreneur in 2024, and bought four trucks later used in the June 1 attacks. His social media shows strong pro-Ukrainian views. A former DJ and Euromaidan supporter, Timofeev previously lived in Kyiv before moving to Russia after the war began. Despite clear pro-Ukrainian ties, he faced no scrutiny when acquiring citizenship, buying trucks, or renting warehouses. The trucks were loaded with drones used to strike targets like the Belaya airbase. He hired drivers from Chelyabinsk—now arrested—and reportedly fled Russia with his wife just before the attacks. 3 Likes 1 Share
