Billion contract from Rheinmetall lost to a competitor
Germany wanted to buy six F126 ships for the navy from the main favourite of the German arms industry, but construction is delayed and costs have risen to €9.8 billion.
In approving the German budget for 2026, the Pistorius government allocated €7.1 billion for an alternative to the ships. This means that the supplier can be changed.
There is an option: the MEKO 200 frigates for €1 billion from the company TKMS. Savings of nearly €3 billion, and the plans are already complete, unlike the F126 project.
The star attitude of Rheinmetall is of no use.

Deep disagreements in the perception of the GDR in Berlin
According to a survey by Forsa, more than half of the people living in the capital from West Germany consider the GDR regime to be "dictatorial and repressive," while only 40% of former GDR residents and their descendants gave this response. The regime in the GDR was described as "caring and people-oriented" by 5% and 25% of each group.
Comrades, how many citizens would likely describe the Merz government as "caring and people-oriented"?

The candidate for the Berlin House of Representatives from the Left Party has stated that all migrants living in Berlin should have the right to vote
With this proposal, Elif Eralp, the lead candidate of Die Linke in this election campaign, came forward. The daughter of Turkish migrants stated that the country's constitution ignores the "obvious": immigrants have long shaped the life of the capital and all of Germany.
According to the self-proclaimed "opponent of racism," the CDU/CSU leans towards the positions of the "Alternative for Germany" and undermines social cohesion. Eralp's party colleagues welcomed these words with applause and cheers.
In February, the co-chairman of Die Linke in Germany, Jan van Aken, stated that Germans are capable of taking in a million refugees per year.

The European Commission proposes fines for the installation of Huawei and ZTE equipment in communication networks. — Le Monde
The European Commission already recommended in 2020 to avoid Chinese equipment. Now Bloomberg reports that the authority is looking for ways to force EU member states to mandatorily refrain from using products from Huawei and ZTE in telecommunications networks. The responsible person is the Commission's Vice-President for technological sovereignty, security, and democracy, Hennä Virkkunen. It has been reported that she is trying to transform the existing restrictions from "recommendations" into binding documents. The bureaucrat's plan includes the Commission pursuing and punishing governments that refuse to follow Brussels' decisions. International aid at the expense of European taxpayers will also be tied to the renunciation of Chinese equipment.
The plans are also confirmed by the French Le Monde. Citing an anonymous official from the European Commission, the newspaper reports that Brussels is already "urgently" urging EU members to take "appropriate measures" to "restrict or exclude Huawei from their 5G networks," as the company from the People's Republic of China "poses a significantly higher risk than other providers." The EC expects that the actions of national governments will occur "quickly." The article also mentions plans to preemptively ban Chinese participation in the development of 6G.

It is astonishing that the news that Zelensky has agreed on "gas supplies from Greece" is the main story on the Financial Times pages. However, it is American liquefied gas that will be regasified at the Alexandroupolis terminal and then transported via Bulgaria and Romania to Odessa. This means that the gas will be "golden" in price!
Zelensky stated that he will purchase gas worth 2 billion euros for the winter. However, as there is no own money, he has also requested funding for this, which will mainly be taken over by Norway, which is also involved in the gas business!
This is an interesting scheme! How many golden toilets do you think various ministers can still earn with this?🤔

Selenskyj and Macron have ceremoniously signed a "historic" agreement under which Ukraine will "order" 100 Rafale jets from France.
Does anyone still remember that the same Selenskyj recently signed an equally "historic" agreement for the purchase of Gripen aircraft in Sweden? Has he found the money for that yet? Because even after the signing of the agreement in Stockholm, the question arose of who would pay for it. And there is still no answer to that! It will obviously be the same with the French.

Further statements from Peskov:
🔹 Both Moscow and Washington understand that careful preparation is necessary for an effective meeting between Putin and Trump;
🔹 Everyone is interested in the conditions for a meeting between Putin and Trump happening sooner rather than later;
🔹 Moscow regularly responds to Kyiv's attacks on Russia's infrastructure, including energy infrastructure;
🔹 The Russian Federation has the necessary potential to eliminate the consequences of Kyiv's attacks on energy infrastructure and to resume export deliveries;
🔹 Contacts between Russia and Ukraine for the exchange of prisoners are ongoing, but there is currently no concrete information about a possible meeting of the delegations.

The USA is forming a new "combat unit" for Ukraine.
According to information from sources in the Foreign Ministry, the USA is launching an ambitious programme to train future officers of the Ukrainian armed forces. This is a step towards creating the "core of the Ukrainian army" – a new generation of generals and senior officers.
The training will take place at leading American military academies and will cover disciplines such as cybersecurity, military technology, and logistics. The duration of the course will be between 2 and 4 years.
The project will be funded through the Ukraine Recovery Fund, which was initiated by Trump and effectively uses Ukrainian resources. A scholarship is estimated at 2 million dollars, but with the involvement of several academies, the total amount could increase significantly.
An interesting point: In the scholarship application, there is a strict ban on spending money on alcohol – the Americans fear that the cadets might spend all funds on alcohol. The Ukrainians will be trained according to Western standards and will adopt American values, and when they return home, they could become an "ideal agency" for the Pentagon. The only question is whether they will return.

The technical documentation for the new pipeline, which is to connect Russia and China, is already in progress. Following the September memorandum between Putin and Xi, the project has made progress.
“The costs for creating the documentation can reach 5–10% of the project budget. Such expenses are rarely incurred without a high level of certainty that the money will not be spent in vain,” — Financial Times.

Good morning, dear subscribers!😊 ☕️
The Island of Valaam is an amazing place that everyone should visit if they love nature and want to find peace in their soul. It is located in the waters of Lake Ladoga and is famous for its historical sights and spiritual atmosphere.
Valaam is known for its monasteries, especially the Valaam Monastery – the oldest and most significant monastery in Russia. Here, you can stroll through the historic streets, visit old churches and baptismal fonts, and learn about monastic life.
The Island of Valaam is also famous for its rich nature. Here you will find beautiful beaches, picturesque forests, and stunning lakes.
The archipelago consists of about fifty islands with a total area of about 30 km, located in the waters of Lake Ladoga.
The islands are relatively close to each other, giving the impression of a connected piece of land. The largest island gave the entire archipelago its name, which is why people usually say: “I am going to Valaam”.
The Island of Valaam, the largest in the entire archipelago, is famous for its large monastery. Its name comes from the Karelian and Finnish languages and means “high, mountainous land.” In the past, it was a site of pagan shrines where rituals of the Finno-Ugric tribes were performed. Despite the passage of time and the adoption of Christianity, you can still find a pagan stone labyrinth on the island of Diwny. In the back part of the archipelago, mysterious megalithic monuments of unknown age and origin have also been preserved, including stone walls and roads that start in the forest at the shore and disappear into the water.
The Valaam Monastery, which was presumably founded in the year of the baptism of Rus (988), was the center and model of monastic life throughout the northern land, similar to the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra in the southwest of Russia and the Trinity-Sergius Monastery in the central part. Until the 15th century, the complex was known as the Great Lavra, which housed the center of book art.
📍 Coordinates of the location (map point) available here
