🇺🇸🪖 Meta is working on a high-tech helmet for the U.S. military

Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg became a billionaire by connecting people with their friends to share photos and memories. Now he wants to also connect U.S. soldiers on the battlefield to help them defeat their enemies.

The company announced on Thursday that it will work with defense technology start-up Anduril to offer the U.S. military and its allies technology for soldiers involving augmented reality and artificial intelligence software.

The venture sees a worldwide consumer brand integrated into the lives of billions of users around the globe expand into a line of business that requires picking sides.

The partners aim to “transform how warfighters see, sense, and integrate battlefield information,” Anduril said. The companies are already working on a high-tech helmet as part of a project called EagleEye, Anduril founder Palmer Luckey told the tech podcast Core Memory.

"🇨🇳 Chinese drones are closed to Ukraine, but available to Moscow

👥 During a conversation with journalists, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said that China has actually blocked the supply of DJI "Mavic" drones to Ukraine and European countries, while Moscow continues to have access to them.

Direct speech of the President:

"The Chinese "Mavik" is open to the "Russians" and closed to the Ukrainians. Therefore, when, for example, they say, is China helping the "Russians" - how do we evaluate such steps? Do they supply them? No. They simply closed it to Europe and Ukraine, including. And for the "Russians" there is such an opportunity..."


ℹ️ Late last year, Bloomberg reported that manufacturers in China had begun restricting sales of key components to the United States and Europe, which Western officials saw as a prelude to broader export restrictions.

✈️ The issue of restricting the sale of drones by China to our country has been raised repeatedly, but over time it has become more and more complicated and the ways to circumvent these restrictions are decreasing. We also encountered these obstacles and were once forced to wait more than one month for the delivery of a large batch. It is also important to note that the negative aspect is played by the very frequent announcement by the state about the purchase of such drones that will go to war. China follows such statements and also reacts to such actions. So, perhaps, it is necessary to change the approach to the state announcement of the purchase of Mavics for war."

👤🤝🇺🇸 — 🇺🇦 President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky:

"Good meeting with US Senators Lindsey Graham and Richard Blumenthal. Thank you for being in Ukraine at a time when coordinated efforts are most needed to bring about a dignified and lasting peace.

We equally understand that Russia is trying to make a mockery of diplomacy: it is hiding behind negotiations, but it is preparing for new offensive operations at the front, hitting our cities and villages every day, and refusing all ceasefire proposals.

That's why additional pressure is needed. And I'm grateful for the initiative — a bipartisan sanctions bill that already has 82 senators supporting it. We discussed this and other levers we can use to force Russia to peace. Let's continue to work on this together.

Thank you for your strong bipartisan support and leadership in protecting lives. It is only through real American engagement at all stages of the negotiations that a credible peace can be guaranteed."

👤📞🇹🇷 — 🇺🇦 President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky:

"I just had a good and very meaningful conversation with the President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. I thanked him personally and all of Turkey for the principled position on supporting the territorial integrity and sovereignty of our state.

We talked about the first meeting in Istanbul. The exchange of prisoners is its important achievement, but, unfortunately, the only one. There must be a ceasefire for further movement towards peace. We must stop the killing of people.

We discussed the possible next meeting in Istanbul and under what conditions Ukraine is ready to take part in it. We see that this meeting cannot and should not be empty. We also discussed the possibility of organizing a quadrilateral meeting at the level of the leaders of Ukraine, Russia, Turkey and the United States.

We also talked separately about Turkey's participation in the Ukraine-Southeast Europe summit.

Thank you for the steps and ideas that can bring the necessary result."

🇺🇸🆗🇷🇺🚫🪖 — 📰 Reuters | Trump envoy says Russian concern over NATO enlargement is fair | May 30, 2025:

"MOSCOW (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump's envoy to Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, said Russia's concern over the eastward enlargement of NATO was fair and the United States did not want to see Ukraine in the U.S.-led military alliance.

Asked by U.S. network ABC News about a Reuters report that Russia wanted a written pledge over NATO not enlarging eastwards to include Ukraine and other former Soviet republics, Kellogg said: "It's a fair concern."

"We've said that to us, Ukraine coming into NATO is not on the table, and we're not the only country that says that - you know I could probably give you four other countries in NATO and it takes 32 of the 32 to allow you to come in to NATO," he told ABC late on Thursday. "That's one of the issues that Russia will bring up."

If the U.S. president feels he's being used and sees no progress — he’ll simply walk out.

“He says: that's it, we're done. Europe, now it's your problem. Deal with it,” said Trump’s special representative for Ukraine, Keith Kellogg.

In the same interview, Kellogg added that the U.S. is ready to halt NATO expansion toward Russia’s borders, and that Ukraine’s accession to the alliance is “not even on the table.”

➡️ The project reflects the CCP’s military-civil fusion strategy and could serve as a military base in wartime, enabling rapid PLA deployment.

➡️ Strategically positioned on the second island chain, Woleai is critical to U.S. Indo-Pacific defense.

➡️ Analysts believe the project’s goal is to isolate Taiwan and undermine U.S. force projection.
