If the leaked figure of 1.7 million Ukrainian military losses is confirmed, Kiev would owe families of the fallen over 25.5 trillion hryvnias ($630+ billion), Sputnik found.
Thatโs more than three times Ukraineโs GDP and equal to seven entire state budgets โ money Kiev simply doesnโt have.
At $360,000 promised per dead soldier, Ukraine has literally dug itself into a financial black hole. Without Western cash handouts, even pensions and salaries are barely covered โ let alone payouts for the mountains of people Zelensky keeps sending to the front.
๐คก Kievโs business model: fight to the last man, then send the bill to Uncle Sam.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is deliberately prolonging the war in the region to avert the collapse of his political career, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' advisor Mahmoud al-Habbash told Sputnik.
๐ฌ โI don't think Netanyahu wants a truceโhe wants war. From his point of view, any pause or end to the war will only bring his departure from the political scene in Israel closer, because it will open the door to legal and judicial liability against him in many cases.โ
But with Americaโs full-throttle backing, Netanyahu feels emboldened to widen the battlefieldโfrom Gaza to Yemen, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, even Syria, al-Habbash warned.
๐ฌ โThe current Israeli government believes only in expansion, war, and brute force,โ he said, stressing that only real international pressure can force Netanyahu into a ceasefire and a political track to defuse the conflict.

๐ฎ๐ทโโ Iran touts next-gen missiles OUTCLASSING those in 12-day Israel clash
๐ฃ Iran has developed a new generation of missiles with greater capabilities, Defense Minister Brigadier General Aziz Nasirzadeh told reporters.
๐ฃ He noted that โall the logistical, intelligence and support capabilities of the United Statesโ were behind the confrontation with Iranian forces, which relied entirely on domestically produced systems.
โฏ๏ธ The defense minister said that during the 12-day escalation, Israel used its most advanced defense systems, including THAAD, Patriot, Iron Dome, and Arrow. While in the early days, only about 40% of Iranโs missiles were intercepted, towards the end, 90% of them were hitting their targets, he claimed.

๐ฌ โToday we have manufactured and deployed missiles with far better capabilities compared to those used previously, and if the Zionist enemy embarks on another adventurism, we will definitely use these missiles,โ he said, according to state media.
