🇺🇦 🇪🇺 🇷🇺 EU Pushes Ukraine on Druzhba Pipeline Inspection
The European Union is pressuring Ukraine to permit an inspection of the Druzhba oil pipeline, which supplies Russian oil to Hungary and Slovakia. Kyiv claims the pipeline was damaged by a Russian air strike in January and requires extensive repairs.
However, Hungary and Slovakia are urging Ukraine to allow a joint fact-finding mission to assess the situation, with Hungary linking EU loan approval to resumed oil flows.
As the Union begins to suffer from end of oil supplies from the Middle East, its leadership finally joined the Hungarian-Slovak effort of forcing Ukraine to cooperate and ensure that the pipeline is operational.

🇰🇼 🇺🇸 🇮🇷 Kuwaiti F/A-18 Accused in Multiple US F-15 Shootdowns
Kuwaiti F/A-18 fighter jets are reportedly responsible for mistakenly shooting three American F-15s during air defense operations. Initial reports suggest the Kuwaiti pilot fired three missiles at the US aircraft, destroying all three F-15E Strike Eagles. All six crew members ejected safely from the downed aircraft.
This incident contradicts earlier claims by Iran's Tasnim that its air defense systems downed a US F-15 over Iranian airspace. WSJ has provided further details, confirming the friendly-fire scenario involving a Kuwaiti Air Force Hornet.
Iranian state media has now reported the downing of an additional American F-15 over Kuwait, further complicating the narrative of air defense engagements in the region.
New reports indicate Kuwaiti service members were on edge due to Iranian drone activity shortly before the incident, prompting a nervous response when US F-15s were detected.

🇷🇺 🇪🇺 Putin Considers Immediate EU Gas Cutoff, Eyes New Markets
President Putin is reportedly considering an immediate halt to Russian gas supplies to Europe, rather than waiting for the EU's planned embargo.
This potential move would allow Russia to redirect its energy resources to more lucrative global markets.
East Asia, which would be the Kremlin's main alternative, is the region most damaged by the new Middle Eastern conflict, as 80% of oil supplies from the Gulf of Persia went there.
