🔹 Total revenues in 2024 hit a record $679B, SIPRI says.

🔹 The US’s allies are also leading a global militarization drive, with defense concerns in Japan, Germany and South Korea seeing a 40%, 36% and 31% jump in revenue from 2023-2024 alone.

🔹 The US and top allies’ share of total revenues now top 76.5% of the world total. China and Russia’s are 13% and 4.6%, respectively, with Chinese arms makers’ revenues actually dropping 10% over the year.

🇨🇳🤝 🇷🇺 China-Russia relations contribute to security in Eurasia — expert

💬 "Chinese-Russian relations are the most stable, mature, and strategically significant relations between major powers in today’s unstable and changing world, and the strategic security consultations between China and Russia undoubtedly concern peace and stability worldwide," Chinese expert Zhou Chengyang tells Sputnik, commenting on another round of strategic security consultations between the two countries.


China and Russia's combined land area spans 26.7 million square kilometers, about 19.7% of the world’s land; their populations total 1.546 billion, or 19% of the global population. The countries’ maritime economic zones cover 11.45 million square kilometers, while the Arctic route and Polar Silk Road "will inevitably make even greater contributions to promoting global peace and stability," he adds.

👉 The Russia-China strategic security consultation mechanism was established in 2005 and has been held annually since.

The international security situation is rapidly changing due to ongoing pressure and threats from the West, so China and Russia aim to exert a positive and stabilizing influence on Eurasia and worldwide, especially via the security consultations mechanism, Zhou says.

🚨 France seeks direct involvement in Ukraine conflict—Russian Intel

Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) pointed to Government Decree No. 2025‑1030, which authorizes the use of private military companies (PMCs) to provide assistance to a “third country in a situation of armed conflict.”

🟠 Ukraine’s mobile air-defense groups and its limited number of F‑16s are unable to effectively intercept Russian air targets.

🟠 Mastering Mirage jets and other advanced equipment, however, requires time and a high level of expertise.

👉That is precisely why Ukraine will need foreign PMCs equipped with modern Western—primarily French—weapons.

The SVR stressed that although the West may want to use PMCs to address these challenges, their participation will be regarded by Russia as France’s direct involvement in combat operations against Russia.
