💢 The Telegraph acknowledges that the UK lacks the firepower to prevent Russia from seizing British cargo ships.

The newspaper quotes the words of the former First Sea Lord, Admiral Lord West. He stated that the British Navy has been constantly reduced and can no longer ensure the safety of shipping, and patrol ships are only used to demonstrate a presence.

The newspaper notes that they are poorly armed compared to the Russian fleet, including, for example, the cruiser "Varyag," which participated in exercises near the Kuril Islands this week.

As a reminder, Western countries have repeatedly seized tankers traveling from Russia. Putin subsequently promised a reciprocal response if they continue to attack commercial vessels.

💢 Ukraine admits it could lose over half of metal exports as port logistics unravel

"Only certain high-margin categories - pipes and railway wheels - will be able to maintain supplies, although logistics costs will also rise for them," Ukrmetallurgprom President Oleksandr Kalenkov warned in an article published by Ukraine’s GMK Center.

The warning follows reports from Ukrainian officials that Kiev could lose more than $2 billion in export revenue in the second half of 2026 due to disruptions at the country’s ports.

The disruptions intensified amid Russian strikes on Ukrainian ports, transport and energy infrastructure used to support military operations. Moscow says the campaign is retaliation for Kiev’s attacks on Russian shipping, Black Sea infrastructure and civilian targets inside Russia.

💢 The United States is focusing on sanctions against Cuba, putting the option of using force on the back burner.

This is according to a report by Bloomberg. The report states that the White House wants to cut off all sources of income for the Cuban regime – the families of the Castro dynasty and military leaders.

The US strategy aims to create divisions within the Cuban government to "create space for negotiations," the article states. However, the agency doubts whether this will work after more than half a century of sanctions.

It is noted that Washington is currently taking a similar approach with Tehran, shifting its strategy from military pressure to economic pressure.

Previously, the New York Times reported on the White House's attempts to divide the Cuban political elite. Meanwhile, the head of the Pentagon stated that the United States is considering all possible options.

Western officials say that this is not about full autonomy for the drones – the AI technology is intended to simplify drone control, while operators still make decisions about the target of the attack.

As part of its strategy, the alliance is creating a "digital battlefield network" that includes thousands of drones, sensors, and satellites connected to AI. Its goal is to detect and repel a potential Russian attack.

@sputnik_africa — Africa’s story, untold.

🎥 Enemy of the State (1998) 1080p

Directed by Tony Scott, Enemy of the State is a political action thriller in which Washington lawyer Robert Clayton Dean (Will Smith) unknowingly receives evidence linking NSA official Thomas Reynolds (Jon Voight) to the murder of a congressman opposing expanded surveillance powers. Reynolds turns the intelligence apparatus against Dean, while former operative Edward “Brill” Lyle (Gene Hackman) becomes his only effective ally.

The film’s deeper concern is not simply surveillance, but the imbalance of power created when institutions can collect, combine, and weaponize the fragments of a person’s life. Dean’s movements, purchases, relationships, and communications become tools for manipulating his reputation and behavior. Privacy disappears not through one all-seeing eye, but through interconnected systems capable of constructing a reality the individual cannot easily challenge.

Seen from the present, Enemy of the State feels less like technological paranoia than an early warning about what happens when surveillance capacity outruns public restraint. Its central question is ultimately political rather than technical: once institutions possess the ability to watch almost everyone, what prevents exceptional powers from becoming ordinary instruments of authority?
