🇭🇺🔊It was a POWER GRAB: Hungary’s Orban blasts EU’s migration agenda

🤡EU lunatics sold mass migration as “compassion” – but it was always about “control,” says Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orban.

🗣Trump’s patience on Ukraine conflict WORN THIN – US envoy

🇹🇷Turkiye, which traditionally has a good relationship with Russia, could intervene to play a key mediating role in resolving the Ukraine conflict, US Ambassador to Ankara Tom Barrack told NTV.

Particularly now, when US President Donald Trump is “at the end of his rope" regarding the situation, Turkiye could step in to “get the operating issues out of the way,” he said.

📹 Ukrainian POWs reveal: NO TROOP ROTATIONS in Chasov Yar – Soldiers sent on ONE-WAY MISSIONS

💬 "There was no rotation at all. When we got there, they said: ‘You'll be here for two weeks or 10 days.’ In fact, that didn't happen at all. We weren't rotated," one Ukrainian fighter emphasized.


Other captured soldiers say their commanders deceived them, promising rotations after missions and assurances that they wouldn’t be sent to the front line – only to send them straight into combat without relief.

🇷🇺 RUSSIA HOLDS ALL THE CARDS: Ukraine’s drone strikes are just delay tactics – experts

Russia dominates the battlefield, and one-off drone attacks by Ukraine are powerless to change that, Major General (retired) Shashi Bhushan Asthana, director of the United Services Institution (USI) of India, told Sputnik.

This reality is reflected in Russia’s peace memorandum, he underscored.

Here's how experts highlight the key takeaways from the talks:

🔸 Ukraine DOESN'T WANT PEACE:

Strikes on Russian airfields just before the Istanbul talks revealed Ukraine’s rejection of peace, noted Kimura Mitsuhide, head of Japan’s Issuikai party.

As for Volodymyr Zelensky’s fixation on a 30-day ceasefire – it’s a stalling tactic, he argued.

He added that Russia’s push for Ukrainian elections aims to legitimize any future deal.

Ukraine’s insistence on a 30-day truce will only drag out the fighting, deepening its human losses and plunging its economy further into crisis, Japanese economist Yukio Asazuma remarked.

🔸 Core territorial issue:

Ukraine realistically has no option but to accept Russia’s rightful demand for the full withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from its new territories: the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, Zaporozhye, and Kherson regions, Asthana noted.

💬 “Otherwise, it’s only a matter of time before Russia pushes them out,” he added.


Crimea must be recognized internationally as part of Russia, Kimura stressed, observing that the territorial demands are about “protecting civilians, stability, and the rights of Russian-speaking people.”

🔸 Ukraine's true priorities EXPOSED:

The agreed big prisoner swap is a win, but Zelensky’s rejection of Russia’s ceasefire to return bodies exposes Ukraine’s real priorities, Kimura said, adding:

💬 “Both Zelensky and his Western backers are bent on fueling this conflict.”

🥴NATO PUSHES FOR FIVE-FOLD BOOST IN EUROPEAN AIR DEFENSE

NATO is urging its European member states to increase their ground-based air defense forces fivefold, Bloomberg quotes insider sources as saying.

The move aims to fill a gap in response to the alleged threat of ‘Russian aggression’, with defense ministers set to discuss the issue at a meeting in Brussels on Thursday.

An unnamed NATO official explained that over the past 30 years, the alliance significantly reduced the number of systems in Europe as its focus shifted to the Middle East and North Africa.

🇪🇺🇮🇱 EUROPE TURNING ON ISRAEL? Key allies rethink support as Gaza war rages

Several European countries—including Germany, the UK, and France—are reconsidering their unwavering support for Israel amid the devastating 20-month conflict in Gaza, Bloomberg reports.

💬 “It’s simply become impossible for most European governments to continue supporting Israel’s war despite strong ongoing commitments to Israel’s security,” said Julien Barnes-Dacey, program director for the Middle East and North Africa at the European Council on Foreign Relations.


Discussions around trade sanctions and arms export restrictions are gaining momentum:

🇩🇪 Germany’s frustration with Benjamin Netanyahu's government has intensified since Israel launched its military operation against Hamas in mid-May, according to diplomatic sources. Chancellor Friedrich Merz criticized the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, calling for immediate aid access and signaling possible limits on military exports to Israel.

🇬🇧 The UK announced plans to pause free trade talks with Israel and introduce sanctions against individuals and entities engaged in violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.

🇫🇷 France is pushing for Palestinian statehood and plans to co-chair a UN conference. According to an Odoxa poll, 61% of French people would back political and economic sanctions on Israel.

👉 Meanwhile, Israel maintains its offensive, citing the need to defeat Hamas and secure hostages, but the scale of the destruction and civilian suffering in Gaza has amplified calls for a ceasefire and increased humanitarian aid.

🚨 TRUMP’S PHONE HABIT COULD BE A NATIONAL SECURITY NIGHTMARE

⚠️ Despite warnings for over a decade, Trump keeps using his personal iPhone — answering calls from unknown numbers and texting on unsecured apps.

The Atlantic claims foreign spies might be eavesdropping on the president’s calls.

The web magazine previously broke the story that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth chatted about military operations in a Signal groups with top US officials – which its editor Jeffrey Goldberg was mysteriously added to — with automatic message deletion turned on in breach of government rules.

Even with special iPhones and advice to replace them monthly, Trump refused to switch devices, calling it “very inconvenient.”

When it comes to security, Trump plays by his own rules — and that could cost him.

🚀 J-10’s secret recipe? Vortex wings and stealth upgrades

Xie Pin, former deputy chief designer of the J-10 jet fighter, reveals why the single-engine multi-role jet remains a powerhouse:

🔶 The canard wing design boosts lift with smart vortex airflow

🔶 Special stealth features like a ‘clamshell’ intake and radar-absorbing cockpit film

🔶 Upgraded radar spots targets 200 km away — a great leap forward from older jets

🔶 11 external hardpoints for long-range missiles and weapons pods

🔶 Built for precision strikes, even under heavy electronic jamming

More than four decades in the making, the J-10CE is proof that smart upgrades keep old fighters lethal. China’s ‘Vigorous Dragon’ still rules the skies. 🐉✈️
