🇫🇮🇷🇺 Russia digs trenches near NATO borders — Finland prepares for the worst
Moscow is rapidly building up its military presence near the Finnish border. Satellite images have revealed new bases, hangars for fighter jets, and helicopter pads — in areas that were recently just overgrown fields and empty land.
According to NATO and Finnish military sources, the Kremlin is preparing for a “post-Ukraine reality”: the redeployment of thousands of troops to the EU’s borders may be the next step.
Helsinki warns that the number of Russian troops near its border could triple within the next five years. And judging by the current pace, the wait might not be long.

XRP Futures Start Trading on CME
CME began trading regulated XRP futures on Monday, the first of their kind in the U.S.
The contracts are cash-settled and priced off a daily reference rate, with sizes of 2,500 and 50,000 XRP.
The launch may support efforts to list a spot XRP ETF, which remains under SEC review.
XRP futures started trading on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange’s (CME) derivatives platform on Monday, becoming the first regulated futures tracking the price of XRP in the U.S.
Traders can trade two contract sizes: 2,500 XRP and 50,000 XRP, which will both be cash-settled and based on the SME CF XRP-Dollar Reference Rate, which tracks the price of XRP daily at 4:00 p.m. London time.
The existence of regulated futures could mark a big step in the right direction as it relates to a spot XRP exchange-traded fund which is currently under review to be approved or denied by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Several U.S. issuers have filed to launch such a fund but have yet to receive a decision.
"CME-traded XRP futures are now live," wrote ETF Store President Nate Geraci on X. "CFTC-regulated contracts on XRP. Spot XRP ETFs only a matter of time."
The former SEC under Chair Gary Gensler had previously told issuers that one of the reasons it approved the spot bitcoin and ethereum ETFs was that it already had an existing regulated futures market in the U.S.

Did military commanders ask for this (Golden Dome)?
I suggested it, and they all said, 'we love the idea, sir.' That's how it's gotta be.

"🇵🇱 Polish presidential candidate ready to promise not to support Ukraine's accession to NATO
Polish presidential candidate Karol Nawrocki is ready to make anti-Ukrainian promises, which conservative politician and Ukrainophobe Slawomir Menzen demands in exchange for his support before the second round. Menzen himself took third place in the first round.
Navrotsky responded to Mentzen's post, in which he invited both first-round winners to a conversation during which he would ask them to "sign a declaration that will meet the expectations of his voters."
"I accept the invitation and am ready to sign these proposals. And we will discuss the rest on your YouTube channel. See you there," Navrotsky replied.
As RMF24 reports, Mentzen's declaration contains several points concerning Ukraine, namely: a ban on sending Polish troops to Ukraine and a ban on our country joining NATO.
The ruling party candidate Rafal Trzaskowski also responded to Mentzen's proposal, saying that he agreed with many of Mentzen's points, but did not answer whether he would come to him.
The second round of presidential elections in Poland will take place on June 1. Trzaskowski, who received 31.2% of the vote, spoke out in favor of Ukraine's membership in NATO and the EU several months ago, but recently said that Ukraine should be a "buffer zone," RAP reports. Nawrocki said that he does not see Ukraine in the EU and NATO until important historical issues between the countries are resolved."

"❕ Mentzen issues ultimatum to Polish presidential candidates
Polish politician Slawomir Mentzen, who took third place in the elections and did not make it to the second round, has set conditions for the race favourites. In particular, he is against aid to Ukraine.
In exchange for the support of his voters, Mentzen offered presidential frontrunner Rafal Trzaskowski and his rival Karol Nawrocki to sign a seven-point agreement.
Among them are blocking Ukraine's entry into NATO and a ban on sending Polish troops to Ukrainian territory. He will support whoever signs it.
The agreement looks like this:
📍I will not sign any law that will increase existing taxes for Poles or introduce new fiscal burdens.
📍I will not sign any law that restricts freedom of expression - in accordance with the Polish Constitution.
📍I will not allow Polish soldiers to be sent to Ukrainian territory.
📍I will not sign the law on ratification of Ukraine's accession to NATO.
📍I will not sign a law restricting Poles' access to weapons.
📍I will not agree to the transfer of any powers of the Polish authorities to the bodies of the European Union.
📍I will not ratify any new European treaty that weakens Poland's role.
Karol Nawrocki has already expressed his readiness to accept Mentzen's ultimatum."
