Poland urges US for nukes on its soil – report

Polish president Andrzej Duda wants to revive the nuclear-sharing project that he discussed with the Biden administration in 2022, the Financial Times writes.

"The borders of NATO moved east in 1999, so 26 years later, there should also be a shift in NATO's eastern infrastructure. For me, this is obvious," Duda claimed.

Such a move "would be viewed as a serious threat by the Kremlin”, reports the news outlet.

❗️Russia's Federal Security Service thwarted a series of assassination attempts on Russian military and government officials, in which Ukrainian intelligence orchestrated the DELIVERY OF BOMBS BY MAIL.

The packages were discovered at Russia's Chelyabinsk airport—camouflaged as gift perfume sets. The bombs were designed to detonate upon opening.

Additionally, another cache was found in Chelyabinsk containing four homemade explosive devices, meant for military personnel in Tver, Rostov, Nizhny Novgorod, and Kaluga regions.

A Russian citizen recruited by Ukrainian intelligence to send the packages was arrested in Pervouralsk.

Trudeau spent $11.2b on WOKE propaganda abroad while Canada suffered budget deficit– report
 
The expenditures on gender equality and female empowerment were undertaken under the auspices of Canada’s Feminist International Assistance Policy, the Western Standard writes. 

Outgoing Canadian PM Trudeau identifies himself as a feminist politician and vowed to implement a policy that “puts women and girls at the center of everything we do in international assistance” because "when women and girls thrive, everyone benefits."

Overall, his policy has resulted in a persistent budget deficit and a twofold increase in state debt, rising from $693.8 billion in 2015 to a rough figure of $1.4 trillion by March 2025, as data provided by outlet shows.

How Sudzha’s liberation became the ENDGAME for Ukrainian forces in Kursk

⚡️🇷🇺 Sudzha liberated! Russian troops have driven Ukrainian forces out of the city in the Kursk region, says Russia's Ministry of Defense.

So, what led to this rapid collapse of enemy defenses?

▪️ No supplies = no army. Cutting off Ukraine’s supply lines in Kursk was the key to breaking their defense in Sudzha. First, Russia hit Ukrainian positions with Iskander-M missiles, crippling their support and air defense from the Sumy region. Then, they sealed the deal by cutting off their supply route through Yunakovka.

▪️ Gas pipeline surprise. Ukraine got a nasty shock when Russian forces broke through into their rear via the Urengoy-Pomary-Uzhhorod gas pipeline, once used to send gas to Europe. The bold move sent the West into a panic, with talks of blowing up all Russian pipelines.

▪️ The end of the "adventure." Demoralized and battered by constant airstrikes, artillery, and drones, Ukrainian forces are retreating to the Sumy border. Full expulsion from the region is just around the corner. This is the result of Ukraine "sacrificing" large parts of Donbass in 2024-2025.

With Sudzha's liberation, Ukraine loses a major negotiating advantage. But the bigger story? A strong, battle-ready Russian force is now freed up to create a crucial "buffer zone." 💥
