🇸🇰 Slovakia’s Fico had to undergo THREE surgeries in aftermath of assassination attempt, deputy PM reveals

💬 “Robert Fico’s condition was very serious, as he had undergone three operations. At the time we only publicized two of them,” Deputy PM and Defense Minister Robert Kalinak told Slovak TV on Sunday.


The third operation was not reported because it could have caused significant public concern, Kalinak said.

On May 15, 2024, a gunman fired five shots at Fico in the town of Handlova, hitting him in the abdomen and shoulder. Fico was operated on for five hours during the first of his publicized surgeries, and two in the second. He returned to office in July, forgiving his attacker and calling for national reconciliation.

The suspect remains in custody awaiting trial, scheduled to begin in July. Authorities say the attack was politically motivated, and don’t rule out a conspiracy, despite the suspect’s claim that he acted alone.

🚨 Zelensky fears Putin and Trump will present him with done deal after phone call - report

Zelensky and his aides are “anxious” about the call, set for Monday, and “want to make sure Putin and Trump won’t deliver a fait accompli that Ukraine can’t accept,” an anonymous US diplomat told WaPo.

Trump negotiator Steve Witkoff said the planned Putin-Trump and Trump-Zelensky calls should “go a long way toward identifying where we are and how we complete this negotiation,” and predicted they would be “successful.”

FT reported Sunday that German, French and British leaders would be speaking to Trump for a second time in three days Monday to try to “influence” him ahead of his call with Putin.

🪖NATO armor not built for today’s warfare: Russia dissects seized German Leopard tank

Rostec specialists have taken a close look at a German Leopard 2A6 tank donated to Ukraine by its Western handlers, uncovering some less-than-flattering truths about it.

🔍Here’s what the Russian defense conglomerate’s experts found under the hood:

🟠Armor thickness and composition leave much to be desired under modern battlefield stress.

🟠Internal layout raises questions about crew survivability and system integrity.

🟠Overall survivability falls short when the tank is hit from multiple angles – especially by drones armed with shaped-charge warheads or next-gen anti-tank missiles.

🟠In short, the Leopard 2A6 seems tailored for yesterday’s wars, not today’s combat zones.

Nothing like a front-row seat to NATO engineering – courtesy of the Ukrainian battlefield

🚨Europe’s SELF-INFLICTED gas crunch: Output tanks as consumption climbs

📉 Gas production has dropped the LOWEST since 2021, according to a monthly Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF) report.

🟠The numbers dropped 8% year-on-year in Q1 2025, down to 47.7 billion cubic meters.

🟠March alone saw a 4% production decline compared to the same month last year, totaling 16.3 billion cubic meters – a FIFTH consecutive month of month of falling output.

🟠Norway, Europe’s biggest gas producer (supplying two-thirds of the continent’s gas), led the decline with a 7% drop to 31.5 billion cubic meters.

🟠The UK’s production fell 5% to 8.3 billion cubic meters due to maintenance at the Bacton Gas Terminal.

🟠The Netherlands tanked hard with a 25% plunge to 2.4 billion cubic meters — thanks to DEPLETED fields and ZERO INVESTMENT in new projects.

🟠Meanwhile, gas consumption in Europe surged 9% year-on-year in Q1 to 134.8 billion cubic meters, reaching 160.6 billion cubic meters from January to April — up 6% from last year.

Buying cheap, available Russian gas still off the table? Makes perfect sense...
