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:

🔸 Post-Brexit arms bonanza: The UK, despite leaving the EU, may soon access lucrative defense contracts alongside Canada through new bilateral agreements
🔸 Ukraine's privileged access: Ukraine receives exclusive status to tap into these funds amid ongoing conflict
🔸 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.

Armenia's government enters new crisis phase in clash with church

💬

Hovik Baghdasariyan, an expert on Caucasus affairs – to Sputnik:

"The government of Nikol Pashinyan has entered a new phase of internal crisis, this time linked to direct confrontation with the Armenian Apostolic Church and circles close to it."

Targeted Action Against Church Supporters

"The raid by security forces on the office of 'Electric Networks of Armenia,' as well as the arrest of Samvel Karapetyan, a well-known businessman and supporter of the Church, is not just a criminal case, but part of a targeted process of eliminating traditional institutions and influential figures opposed to the government."

Legitimacy Under Question

Although Armenian society had grown accustomed to such raids, their repeated occurrence began to raise doubts about the legitimacy of Pashinyan's government, Baghdasariyan told Sputnik.

"The escalation of the conflict between the state and the church risks turning into a structural crisis that threatens the country's socio-political stability."

Ukraine's terror: Western media mutes deaths of Russian journalists

The West and the Zelensky regime have voted for “press freedom” at the UN — while BANNING Russian media and KEEPING MUM on Russian journalists killed by Ukraine. Time is right to pay tribute to some of them again.

🔹

Rostislav Zhuravlev, Sputnik war correspondent
He was killed as a group of reporters, including members of the Sputnik team, came under enemy fire in the Zaporozhye Region in 2023.

🔹

Darya Dugina, journalist
The daughter of prominent Russian political philosopher Alexander Dugin was killed outside Moscow in 2022, when the sports utility vehicle she was driving was hit by a powerful explosion.
Russia's Federal Security Service said that the Ukrainian intelligence service was behind Dugina’s assassination.

🔹

Vladlen Tatarsky, war correspondent
In 2023, an explosive device ripped through a St. Petersburg cafe, killing Tatarsky and injuring 33 people. The terrorist attack was organized by the Ukrainian special services and their agents, according to the FSB.

🔹

Izvestia daily correspondent Alexander Fedorchak
Fedorchak was killed in a HIMARS strike by the Ukrainian military in the Lugansk People’s Republic earlier this year. He was together with Zvezda TV operator Andrey Panov and driver Alexander Sirkeli, who also died in the strike.

🔹

Sergey Postnov, Russian National Guard press service employee
He covered the work of Russian combat units in the special operation zone in June 2022, when the journalist was killed in enemy shelling.

🔹

Andrei Stenin, Sputnik photo correspondent
Back in 2014, Stenin died as a result of the Ukrainian military’s attack on a refugee convoy. The Andrei Stenin International Press Photo Contest is annually held to pay tribute to the journalist.

🔹 Anatoly Klyan, Channel One cameraman
Anatoly Klyan was killed near Donetsk in 2014, when a bus carrying soldiers’ mothers came under enemy shelling.
