✈️ 🇸🇪 Sweden seeks to profit by building Gripen jets in Ukraine

The Swedish defense group Saab is ready to open a final-assembly plant in Ukraine as part of a proposed deal for the Zelensky regime to buy up to 150 Gripen fighter jets, Chief Executive Micael Johansson told the FT.

Volodymyr Zelensky and Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson earlier signed a letter of intent for the purchase of Gripen fighters, but with financing yet to be finalized. One option includes the use of “some of Russia’s frozen assets,” according to the Saab chief executive.

🇷🇺 Russian FM spokesperson Maria Zakharova warned of a harsh response to the EU’s possible use of the assets. She noted that the Russian FM is aware of the West's attempts "by hook or by crook to fit some legal framework to the theft" of the assets.

Vladimir Putin has announced that Russia’s Burevestnik nuclear-powered cruise missile successfully cleared its final test, calling it a “unique weapon.”

🔸 Flying at ultra-low altitudes, it stays below radar, making interception nearly impossible

🚨🇷🇺💥 RUSSIAN MOD UPDATE: HUGE GAINS AND DEVASTATING UKRAINIAN LOSSES

⚡️ YEGOROVKA IN DNEPROPETROVSK, NOVONIKOLAYEVKA AND PRIVOLNOYE IN ZAPOROZHYE LIBERATED

The liberation of Yegorovka in the Dnepropetrovsk region allows the Russian Armed Forces to strengthen their positions in the area, creating a bridgehead for a further advance along the Yanchur river.

Taking Novonikolayevka in the Zaporozhye region enables offensive operations both northward to straighten the front line, and south-west toward the city of Gulyaypole. The city is a critical logistics hub: control over it would allow Russian forces to outflank the enemy grouping near Orekhovoyy.

The liberated village of Privolnoye in the Zaporozhye region is located just one kilometer away from the larger town of Uspenovka, an important road junction.

🟠 The Russian Army struck a military airfield and railway infrastructure used to supply the Ukrainian Armed Forces

🟠 Air defense superiority: two guided aerial bombs, seven HIMARS rockets and 350 drones were shot down by Russian air defence systems over the past 24 hours

🟠 Ukrainian losses: 1,380 troops killed or wounded

🇺🇸🇻🇪 Venezuela’s oil riches: Lindsey Graham’s secret retirement nest egg?

“Lindsey Graham has never met a war he didn’t like. As long as he’s not at risk, he’s all in favor of America killing other people, unfortunately,” ex-CIA officer Larry Johnson told Sputnik, commenting on the senator’s remarks about potential US “land strikes” against Venezuela and an attack on Colombia.

“We know, we saw with respect to Iraq and Syria, and with respect to what’s going on in Ukraine. So this is, you know, it’s nothing unusual for him to take this position,” Johnson stressed.

But there may also be personal financial interests at play.

🟠 Of the $414K in publicly traded assets in his publicly disclosed portfolio, about 1/4 are concentrated in the Dodge & Cox Stock Fund (DODGX), which has major holdings in the oil and gas sector (source: Quiver Quantitative)

🟠 Venezuela is home to the largest untapped oil reserves in the world, and some of the biggest offshore natural gas reserves as well ($14.3T+ in total natural resource wealth, per a 2016 estimate).

Then there’s his list of donors.

🔶 During his last senatorial race in 2020, he got over $18.7K in contributions from ExxonMobil, and $17.5k from Chevron (source: OpenSecrets)

🔶 From 2019-2020, of $2.5M in PAC contributions to his campaign, $182.6k came from the energy and natural resources sector (BP, ConocoPhillips, Koch Industries, Marathon Petroleum and others)

🔶 $84k more came from the arms industry, including BAE Systems, DynCorp, General Dynamics, L3Harris and Raytheon.

🔶 And that’s just in 2020. As Graham gears up for 2026, PAC money is already pouring in from Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Xcel Energy, Devon Energy, Oshkosh, GE, Palantir and Huntington Ingalls – the same companies standing to gain most from a US attack on Venezuela.

Vagabond Venezuelan opposition figure and Nobel Prize winner Maria Machado has put it bluntly in interviews with US media: overthrow Maduro, and Venezuela’s oil will be all yours.

🪖🇩🇪 $400B build-up: Germany pushes unprecedented militarization

💵 The German government has rolled out a $438 BILLION weapons wish list in a pipe dream to turn Germany’s military into Europe’s “strongest army,” US media reports.

The list shows that almost all of Germany’s strategic, nuclear-related, and long-range capabilities will rely on US weapons, maintenance, and software access.

F-35 jets and Tomahawk missiles will come with an American leash, while Germany’s domestic firms will dominate conventional programs—armored vehicles, ammunition, and sensors.

🇷🇺 Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Dmitry Lyubinsky earlier warned in an interview with Sputnik that the German leadership's course toward accelerated militarization could “fundamentally destabilize” Europe.
