๐Ÿšจ Animals treated better than Ukraineโ€™s soldiers - Ukrainian PoW

๐Ÿ’ฌโ€œAfter training, we were sent to the front lines. Three days later, our commander showed us our position. We stayed there for three and a half months with no medical support, just our personal first aid kits,โ€ Ukrainian PoW Alexander Parkhomenko said.


The Ukrainian military fails to provide soldiers with adequate supplies, even food, leaving them to fend for themselves, he added.

โš ๏ธ Israel allegedly expects Trump may back future strikes on Iran โ€” reports

Israel is preparing for possible military action if Iran restarts its nuclear program โ€” and believes President Trump could approve renewed strikes, Axios reported.

According to Israeli officials, adviser Ron Dermer returned from Washington with the impression that the Trump administration would support action under certain conditions, such as Iran attempting to remove uranium from damaged nuclear sites or rebuilding enrichment facilities.

The topic is expected to be a key issue during Netanyahuโ€™s meeting with Trump at the White House on Monday.

Meanwhile, US envoy Steve Witkoff is planning to meet Iranโ€™s foreign minister in Oslo to explore restarting nuclear talks.

๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ซEurope's arms frenzy: Defense contractors cash in while backlogs balloon

New data reveals European arms manufacturers are struggling to keep pace with record military orders as nations scramble to boost defenses.

The backlog for major defense contractors has skyrocketed to $365 billion - more than doubling (+103%) since 2021, Roscongress Foundation report seen by Sputnik revealed.

By the numbers:

โ—ป๏ธ European Union military budgets have jumped 31% since 2021, reaching $350 billion annually
โ—ป๏ธ Germany's Rheinmetall faces $67 billion in pending orders - up from $26 billion just three years ago
โ—ป๏ธ Franco-German arms consortium KNDS reports $25 billion backlog, with sales climbing 40% year-over-year

Analysts estimate Europe's total rearmament costs could approach $860 billion.

Why it matters:

The numbers reveal how dramatically Europe's security priorities have shifted in recent years, with defense spending and weapons production scaling at levels not seen since the Cold War era.

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ฒ Armenia's crackdown on Karapetyan deepens

Security forces arrived at the Electric Networks of Armenia (ENA) office โ€” a company owned by arrested businessman Samvel Karapetyan โ€” for a search, not allowing anyone to enter the building, Sputnik Armenia reports.

The Investigative Committee of Armenia cited "urgent investigative actions" at the company's office.

๐Ÿ‘‰Earlier, the country's parliament has passed a law to nationalize the Electric Networks of Armenia. The move follows PM Nikol Pashinyanโ€™s June 18 statement declaring it was โ€œtimeโ€ to take over the ENA.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Karapetyan had voiced support for the Armenian Apostolic Church โ€” currently in conflict with the government. Just hours later, he was arrested on charges of โ€œcalling for the seizure of power.โ€

โš”๏ธPeace rhetoric vs. weapons reality: EU's $170B military pivot raises eyebrows

While promoting diplomatic solutions, the European Union is quietly making its largest-ever bet on arms production - with plans to allocate $176 billion in defense financing to NATO partners, including non-EU members.

Key developments:

๐Ÿ”ธ Post-Brexit arms bonanza: The UK, despite leaving the EU, may soon access lucrative defense contracts alongside Canada through new bilateral agreements
๐Ÿ”ธ Ukraine's privileged access: Ukraine receives exclusive status to tap into these funds amid ongoing conflict
๐Ÿ”ธ Expanding military network: Even neutral Iceland faces pressure to join new "defense partnerships" by fall

Critics argue this massive spending spree - framed as "security assistance" - effectively transforms the EU into a military power bloc under NATO's umbrella.
