🇷🇺🇫🇮 Russia Expands Military Presence Near Finnish Border
Fresh satellite imagery published by Western outlets shows that Russia is constructing a new military complex near the Finnish border — a clear sign of long-term troop reinforcement in the region.
Significant earthworks and new facilities have appeared at the Lupche-Savino garrison, part of the city of Kandalaksha in Murmansk Region, roughly 110 km from Finland. According to reports, two brigades have already been relocated to this area.
Satellite photos also reveal expansion at the Sapyornoye garrison on the Karelian Isthmus, located about 70 km from the Finnish border.
Russia is simultaneously continuing preparations in Petrozavodsk, the capital of Karelia. The city houses the command of a mixed aviation division, which oversees the Besovets airbase nearby.
Notably, Russia is forming a completely new 44th Army Corps in the Republic of Karelia — a move that effectively adds around 15,000 troops to NATO’s eastern frontier.

🇮🇹 In Italy, since the current ruling coalition, composed of the center-right, right-wing, and national right-wing with Salvini's Northern League, won the elections, the coalition has maintained steady support at a level of 46 to 48 percent. The Northern League has dropped a few percentage points compared to the last elections, from about 13 percent to 8-9 percent, but this electorate has been taken over by the Prime Minister's party, so it balanced out. It is a very interesting situation that a government, which started with international pressure and was described as a revival of fascism, has not lost the trust of voters or public support over three years, in the midst of a governance that was more moderate than expected.
🇺🇸🇮🇷 U.S. intelligence assesses that a single strike with the GBU-57 “Massive Ordnance Penetrator” could potentially destroy Iran’s heavily protected Fordow nuclear site, located deep within a mountain near Qom.
Fordow is Iran’s most secure uranium enrichment facility, buried around 80 to 90 meters underground, specifically engineered to resist conventional airstrikes.
Due to its massive size and weight of 30,000 pounds only the U.S. Air Force’s B-2 stealth bombers can deliver the GBU-57.
Israeli aircrafts are not equipped to carry such a payload.
