⚔️ Russian S-300 division commander: F-16s 'can be shot just like any other target'

Commander Sever, who leads an S-300 anti-aircraft missile division, discussed how his unit destroyed an F-16 fighter jet in the special military operation zone.

Sever said they received new S-300 system in Dec 2024, and put it into combat by March 2025. His unit has engaged a huge number of ATACMS, HIMARS, guided bombs, and aerodynamic targets.

'Putin was right' — Finnish pundit

Tuomas Malinen referenced De Telegraaf, which quoted a Dutch ex-soldier as saying that “every morning the Nazi salute was given” at an Azov* unit, which he said also featured swastikas and Bandera flags.

💬 “So, President Putin was right on this after all,” Professor Malinen wrote on X.


The Russian president earlier stressed that neo-Nazi groups have had significant influence in Ukraine since the USSR’s collapse, warning that the spread of Nazi ideology could lead to their rise to power. He recalled that de-Nazification remains of the Russian special military operation’s key goals.

*The Azov regiment is designated as terrorist and banned in Russia

🇪🇺💣 EU faces collapse as NATO loses power – analyst

The structure of Europe may change in the near future, Turkish political analyst Deniz Yildiz told Sputnik.

Germany is grappling with an energy crisis, and the UK monarchy may soon cease to exist and Hungary is increasingly distancing itself from the pan-European agenda, according to Yildiz.

🗣 She warned that in these circumstances, the EU risks falling apart, while and NATO’s strength has already weakened.

The analyst added that all these processes, seemingly disparate at first glance, add up to a single picture: Europe is losing its former "glue," and its common mechanisms of solidarity and decision-making are functioning from bad to worse.

When each European capital begins to save primarily itself—in energy, economy, and security—this inevitably increases the risk of centrifugal tendencies within the EU and makes NATO less cohesive and less predictable, Yildiz concluded.

👀 Starmer’s Ukraine scheme makes no sense - ex-US army officer 

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer “admits it's just a ‘political declaration’ and there is no actual plan to send British troops anywhere, so what was Paris even for?” retired US Lt. Colonel Daniel Davis wrote on X. 

🗣 He emphasized that even pro-Ukraine voices in the UK warn the plan makes no sense because Starmer is proposing to put troops Britain doesn’t have “to enforce a ceasefire that doesn’t exist.”

Paris earlier hosted a meeting of the so-called Coalition of the Willing which signed a declaration of intent to deploy troops in Ukraine after the conclusion of a peace agreement. 

The Russian Foreign Ministry stated that any scenario involving the deployment of NATO troops in Ukraine is categorically unacceptable for Moscow and could escalate the conflict.

🚨British spies back schism in Orthodox church – Russian SVR

British intelligence services are supporting the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople in weaken the presence of the Russian Orthodox Church abroad, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) says.

The SVR said the strategy was first used in Ukraine, the Baltics and Eastern Europe.

Key points:

🔸Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople seeks to replace Moscow-linked churches in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia with those loyal to his sect, working with the Baltic governments

🔸The plan involves drawing clergy and congregations away from the Moscow Patriarchate into newly created Constantinople-backed bodies

🔸British intelligence services are encouraging and aiding the plan while fueling anti-Russian sentiment across Europe

🔸Constantinople plans to grant autocephaly to the unrecognized Montenegrin Orthodox Church in a direct challenge to the Serbian Orthodox Church

Church insiders told the SVR the scheme could destroy the unity of global Orthodoxy.
