⚡An increase in Russian military transport aircraft flights to Engels-2 Air Base has been observed. At least three IL-76MD aircraft landed there between April 9 and April 11, with their cargo likely containing Kh-101 cruise missiles. The unloading process is very fast, it takes only around 1.5 hours on average. The higher activity of flights could suggest that the warehouses that store these cruise missiles (and KAB glide-bombs) have been partially or fully restored. 1 Like |

Lol... Checkout where these tankers were registered. They aren't Russian owned. They're owned by foreign entities. Private businessmen going around sanctions to trade Russian oil. There's a reason why they are called shadow fleet. 9 Likes 3 Shares |

⚡Germany cannot yet provide Ukraine with new Patriot air defense systems, as it itself is awaiting deliveries, the Defense Minister claims. "As you know, Germany has already provided four full-fledged Patriot systems. At the moment, we cannot provide more, because we are waiting for deliveries from Raytheon in the coming years. They will not be until 2027," Boris Pistorius explained. 1 Like

⚡President Volodymyr Zelensky said Friday that Ukraine needs more air defence systems to protect civilians, speaking from the site of a recent Russian missile attack that killed several children. “You know that Ukraine has a shortage of air defence systems. You know that Patriot systems can effectively protect against ballistic threats. I ask you to focus first of all on air defence for Ukraine. We truly need it. Ten Patriot systems -– the free world has them,” Zelensky said in a video address from Kryvyi Rig, his home city, where a Russian strike last week killed 19 people, including nine children. 1 Like |

⚡United States and Ukraine have reopened the talks on minerals deal, NYT reports. The new proposal reverts to Trump’s initial demand that Ukraine repay the US for the billions it has received in military and financial aid since Russia’s invasion three years ago. Ukraine will have to contribute half its revenue from natural resource projects to a U.S.-controlled investment fund. Washington will claim all profit from the fund until Kyiv repaid at least the equivalent of the U.S. aid received during the war plus 4 percent annual interest. The new draft omits any mention of security guarantees for Ukraine. 2 Likes |

⚡US President Donald Trump threatened Mexico on Thursday with “escalating consequences” on trade unless it provides more water to Texas under a contentious decades-old treaty. “Mexico has been stealing the water from Texas Farmers” and “last year the only Sugar Mill in Texas closed” for lack of water, Trump posted to his Truth Social platform. He claimed that Mexico was violating a 1944 pact under which the United States shares water from the Colorado River in exchange for flows from the Rio Grande, which forms part of the border between the two countries. “We will keep escalating consequences, including TARIFFS and, maybe even SANCTIONS, until Mexico honors the Treaty,” Trump wrote. The current treaty cycle expires in October and Mexico owes the United States more than 1.55 billion cubic meters, according to the two countries’ boundary and water commission. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Thursday her government has been complying with the treaty under ongoing drought conditions, “to the extent of water availability.” She said in a post on social media platform X that her government had sent a “comprehensive proposal” to the US State Department. |

⚡US fires Greenland military base chief for 'undermining' Vance. The commander of the US military base in Greenland has been fired after she reportedly sent an email distancing herself from Vice-President JD Vance's criticism of Denmark. The US military's Space Operations Command said Colonel Susannah Meyers had been removed from her duties at Pituffik Space Base due to a "loss of confidence in her ability to lead". Last month, Vance used a trip to the Arctic island to criticise Denmark - of which Greenland is a territory - for not spending more on security in the region, claiming it had "not done a good job" for Greenlanders. The alleged email, released by a US military news site, told personnel that Vance's comments were "not reflective" of the base. Following the trip, on 31 March, Col Meyers is reported to have written: "I do not presume to understand current politics, but what I do know is the concerns of the US administration discussed by Vice-President Vance on Friday are not reflective of Pituffik Space Base." Military.com - which published the email - said the contents had been confirmed as accurate to them by the US Space Force. Appearing to confirm this was the reason for her firing, chief Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell linked to the Military.com article in a post on X, writing: "Actions [that] undermine the chain of command or to subvert President [Donald] Trump's agenda will not be tolerated at the Department of Defense." The Space Force's statement announcing Col Meyers' removal on Thursday said that Col Shawn Lee was replacing her. It added: "Commanders are expected to adhere to the highest standards of conduct, especially as it relates to remaining nonpartisan in the performance of their duties." |
