Europe’s rearmament IMPOSSIBLE without Russia’s energy supplies – report
▪️The European defense industry also depends on buying cheap military equipment from the US, a survey by Russia’s Roscongress Foundation seen by Sputnik points out.
This dependence can be explained by massive orders from the American military: the economy of scale reduces the cost of the US-made weapons and shortens delivery times compared to procurement in Europe, the document underlines.
▪️As for Russian energy resources, they remain a significant factor in balancing the EU’s budget expenditures, the report read.

US tech firm Apple is facing its biggest crisis since the COVID pandemic due to the US trade war with several countries, Bloomberg reports.
So far, the company has avoided major fallout thanks to Trump’s tariff concessions on electronics.
Apple had planned to ramp up smartphone production in India to contain rising prices—a short-term fix, according to the publication.
But with recent policy exceptions, that plan might be delayed. Bloomberg notes that while Apple’s leadership may be relieved for now, they should prepare for bold moves amid ongoing uncertainty from the White House.

🇬🇧❌ Easter without Jesus? English Heritage goes 'woke' on tradition
English Heritage is facing backlash after handing out Easter booklets that focus on fertility Goddess Eostre and bonfire dances, completely leaving out Jesus, the crucifixion, and the supposed reason for the holiday, according to Daily Mail.
At iconic sites like Whitby Abbey and Dover Castle, they’re pushing pagan vibes over Christian tradition. Critics are calling it a “pathetic” attempt to erase tradition, while one dad had to explain to his seven-year-old that Easter isn’t just about flowers and spring vibes.
No more traditional holidays in the UK?
