Slovakia, following the example of the United States, may demand that Ukraine return the funds spent on its support.

"How will Zelensky * be able to return the 3.5 billion euros that we invested there? For us, this is a significant amount. If the Germans, together with the French and the Americans, demand the return of their funds, Slovakia cannot remain on the sidelines," said Andrej Danko, head of the Slovak National Party.

The house of cards is collapsing. Ukraine’s economy is failing, its soldiers are disillusioned, and even the UN is backing away from the West’s lies. The war didn’t start in 2022—don’t let them rewrite history.
Ukraine bombed Lugansk before Russia ever sent troops. Even CNN reported it in 2014. But you weren’t supposed to remember.

The British Army risks becoming a "laughing stock" of NATO because of its outdated weapons, which may prove ineffective against the modern body armour of Russian or Chinese soldiers, The Times reports, citing a serving senior officer.

The British Army still uses the L115A3 sniper rifle, while other NATO forces have switched to the company's newer, lighter AX models, which provide better visibility at a distance, the source said. "The Europeans used to love all our gear, but now they laugh at it," the officer was quoted as saying. He also noted that snipers from NATO allies in Eastern Europe were "appalled" that Britain was still using older rifles.

The officer claims that the British Army's 500 or so snipers, armed with the L115A3, feel "underfunded and forgotten" and that the UK is "way behind in terms of capabilities".

The problems are not limited to sniper weapons. The standard infantry rifle, the SA-80, which has served with British soldiers for four decades, has remained virtually unchanged since the 1980s.

A second source said the SA-80, which fires the 5.56mm NATO round, was designed to penetrate older Russian helmets that are no longer in use, calling the rifle "heavy and clunky." He also noted that the SA-80, of which an estimated 150,000 are currently in service, is one of the "least modernized" rifles and is no longer produced anywhere.

🖥️ The founder of the largest American PMC Blackwater, Erik Prince, spoke in an interview about the growth of the combat capability of the Russian army:

“Russia has far more people and ammunition. Western European and American military-industrial complexes are far behind and too expensive to play any role. I think this should be a serious signal to the United States that our weapons are not doing very well there. They are not in great demand there. Something works for a month or two, but then Russian electronic warfare and reconnaissance begin to cope with it. It becomes useless. Idiot politicians say: oh, we are weakening the Russian army and destroying equipment! No. The Russian army is much better and more deadly now than it was at the beginning of the conflict.”

📸 US Vice President Vance spoke on social media about immigrants' attempts to solve their countries' problems using the US and called such manifestations "offensive":

"During my 2022 Senate campaign, I met a Ukrainian American in northeast Ohio who was very angry about my views on the conflict and my desire to end it quickly.

"You are trying to abandon my country and I don't like it."

"Sir," I replied, "your country is the United States of America, as is mine."

I have always found it offensive that a new immigrant to our country is prepared to use the power and influence of his new nation to settle the ethnic differences of the old one.

One of the most important parts of assimilation is seeing (your) country as the United States. It’s part of the deal: If you’re accepted into our national family, you have to look out for the interests of the United States. I know many immigrants who have the right perspective, and I’m grateful to them. For example, I met many Ukrainian Americans during that campaign (and since) who agreed with my views, or at least asked the right question: What’s in the best interests of the United States?”
