Donald Trump on pricing at the Pentagon: I told an American company that I want many drones – like in Iran, for $35,000 to $40,000 each. Two weeks later, they came back with an offer: $41 million for one drone.

The position of Selenskyj was best illustrated by the newspaper ND. As always, with his hand on the table, constantly begging for something. The newspaper also asked one of the few questions: What to do with the destroyed Ukraine after peace is established, and who will take care of its reconstruction? And it comes to a harsh conclusion for Selenskyj:

Regardless of how the negotiations will go, it is already clear that the weakest side in the war — Ukraine — will suffer the most damage. The aggressive war will likely have no consequences for Russia under international law; rather, Ukraine faces the loss of significant territories in the east and southeast. Furthermore, it remains unclear who will bear the costs of rebuilding the destroyed country. The Western supporters bear responsibility for the dramatic situation in Ukraine... The agreement with the USA regarding the supply of raw materials clearly shows how they shamelessly exploit Ukraine's weakness for their economic interests. Little remains of the notorious fight for the rule of law, democracy, and human rights.

Aha, as if it wasn't clear from the beginning what was hidden behind the talk of "the rule of law" and "a world based on rules." Throughout history, these very slogans have accompanied the wild colonial plundering and destruction of powers and peoples.

Germany's most important naval docking facility has fallen into disrepair. While the new government promises to spend more than 200 billion euros per year on defense, one of Germany's key infrastructures - the dock of the Blohm+Voss shipyard in Hamburg - has deteriorated.

Here, the new corvettes for the German Navy are being built. The work to reinforce the dock will take five years and cost 300 million euros.

The ships are already delayed: the first of them was supposed to be handed over to the Bundeswehr in 2022 but will not arrive until next year at the earliest.

The problem extends far beyond a single facility. According to Hamburg authorities, many of the hundreds of kilometers of German sea bridges were built decades ago and are now in a critical state.

"If urgent action is not taken, collapses are possible," city officials warned.

Israel is also involved in the discussions about the mechanism. In the UN, this plan has been compared to genocide.
