🇸🇰💥 FORGET IT, THAT’S IMPOSSIBLE: Slovakia’s PM shuts down demand to increase NATO defense spending

Robert Fico isn’t having it. Rejecting calls to boost defense spending to 5% of GDP, he said, “If anyone thinks we’ll jump from 2% to 5% tomorrow, forget it, that’s impossible.”

Instead, Fico suggested using increased defense funds for dual-purpose projects like hospitals and infrastructure.

Looks like NATO’s dream of a 5% defense hike just hit a brick wall.

"The place was well-fortified. We’ve got Azov chevrons as trophies. Mercenaries were among the dead, judging by their faces," he adds.

He also notes that the bodies found showed a mix of elite assault brigades and poorly trained territorial defense troops.

🚨 FSB FOILS ATTEMPT TO SMUGGLE HELICOPTER PARTS ABROAD

Russia's Federal Security Service has disrupted the activities of individuals involved in an attempted smuggling operation of components for Russian Mi-8 and Mi-17 helicopters.

The parts, valued at over 400 million rubles (~$5,063,000), would have been sufficient to restore the airworthiness of at least four helicopters. The plan included smuggling them to Ukraine, among other destinations.

The group consisted of 6 individuals — citizens of Russia, Ukraine, and Middle Eastern countries — and was coordinated from abroad. The components were acquired from manufacturers via a network of controlled commercial entities.

💥👍 Russia turns Ukraine’s Abrams tanks to SCRAP — only 5 remain

Russian forces have destroyed 26 out of the 31 Abrams tanks supplied to Ukraine by the US, according to Sputnik's estimates.

▪️In January 2023, then-US President Joe Biden announced the delivery of 31 M1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine.

▪️The first of these tanks was reportedly destroyed by fighters of the Tsentr Group of Forces on February 26, 2024, in the Avdeyevka sector.

Russian forces have a track record of turning NATO’s most prized armor into scrap metal.

Russian Deputy Permanent Representative to the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), Maxim Buyakevich, emphasized at the 2024 OSCE Permanent Council meeting that "over-hyped NATO military equipment burns under the pressure of Russian weapons."

"Take, for instance, the much-praised American Abrams tanks: two-thirds of the already delivered tanks have been destroyed, despite the fact that the Ukrainian Armed Forces' command only rarely uses them in action," Buyakevich noted in September.

👊💥‘Significant STRATEGIC blow’: UK press stunned by Russia’s Dnepropetrovsk push

Russia’s latest offensive has caught the British media off guard.

💬"Entering it [Dnepropetrovsk] would mark a significant symbolic and strategic blow for Ukraine," reports The Times.

💬"The pro-Ukrainian Deep State map showed forces very close to Dnepropetrovsk," echoes The Guardian.

💬The Independent, which previously ran an editorial claiming Trump was "wrong" and Ukraine "still holds some cards," now reports that Russia’s Tsentr Group of Forces is charging full throttle toward Dnepropetrovsk.

On June 8, Russia’s Ministry of Defense announced that units of the 90th Tank Division — part of the Tsentr Group — had reached the western border of the Donetsk People’s Republic and are intensifying their offensive into the Dnepropetrovsk region.
