Europe plans to send a military team to Ukraine soon to assess troop numbers for a postwar force, per Washington Post. Macron and Starmer lead the effort, but U.S. backing remains uncertain.

I have lost count of all the meetings, communiques, press conferences, vauge promises, planning and surveying, they need to do before making a decision.

When you see how many fans turn out to these types of parades - even if its a relatively minor trophy, its baffling how most EPL clubs don't put more effort into trying to win the cup.

“The WHO is facing a revenue gap of nearly $600 million in 2025 and ‘has no choice’ but to start making cuts, said WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom in a message sent to the UN health agency staff on Friday (28).

‘Drastic cuts in official development assistance by the U.S. and others are causing enormous disruptions in countries, NGOs, and United Nations agencies, including the WHO,’ stated Tedros Adhanom.

According to the German newspaper BILD, Russia could attack Lithuania by this autumn (between September and December). In the article, citing experts and sources linked to NATO, the newspaper states that this could be the last summer of peace in Europe.

BILD mentioned that this would only happen if two situations occur:

Russia achieves victory in Ukraine or at least a highly favorable ceasefire brokered by the United States.

The United States hints that NATO's Article 5 does not apply to Eastern European countries or to those investing less than 5% of their GDP in defense.

In this scenario, Russia—claiming that the Russian population in Kaliningrad is at risk—would advance from Belarus through the Suwalki Gap, on the border between Lithuania and Poland, to connect Kaliningrad with Belarusian territory.

Russia has announced that it will conduct a major military exercise in Belarus this summer. It was under the pretext of military exercises that Russia concentrated forces in Belarus before attacking northern Ukraine.

Maybe all it will be is alot of cyber attacks and low level sabotage. I could be wrong about that.

Kavkazskaya oil pumping station in Kuban, Russia. This facility transfers oil by rail into pipelines for export.

Lots of other Russian infrastructure was hit in the past few days too. But this is the best video to come out recently.

Every time Ukraine damages the Russian energy infrastructure it weakens Putin's hand in the negotiations. Russia really needs NATO countries — Korea and Japan included, to provide the materials and experts necessary to repair and upgrade their facilities. Whatever China is trying to sell them, Russia clearly sees through their bullshit.

If Ukraine can successfully build these things in hidden basement workshops, stopping production is going to be hard.

The engines are Ukrainian made turbofans too – Ukraine has a much more sophisticated manufacturing industry than many realize.

A dark irony of this war is that during the Soviet Union, Ukraine was the manufacturing hub for the weapons systems that the Russia military still uses.

This war will end being a battle between different eras of Ukrainian weaponry.

- Real Madrid won the match 4-2 on penalties after a 2-2 aggregate draw with Atletico Madrid

- Atletico coach Diego Simeone questioned the decision to disallow Alvarez's penalty kick, which was ruled out by VAR for a double touch

💬 UEFA acknowledges the rule needs review

- UEFA says the VAR had to disallow the goal due to the current rule, but they will discuss with FIFA and IFAB to determine if the rule should be reviewed in cases of unintentional double touches

🤔 Simeone wants to believe the officials got the call right

- Simeone asked media members if they saw a clear replay showing Alvarez touched the ball twice, but no one raised their hand

I don’t care about spies, exposing all the crimes is more important to the health of the country.

You should care about spies, they contribute to your own safety. National security will always override exposure of crimes.

Unless we are talking nuclear codes, National security can sit down. Give me the whole truth.

Incorrect. National security covers alot more than just nuclear codes. For example it could be that in Epstein's circle there was spies from different countries, informants, turncoats etc. No government would in their reasonable mind put that information out there for public consumption.
