🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷⚡️ — Senate Democrats block the FY2027 National Defense Authorization Act over Trump's war with Iran and US-Israeli military integration provisions.

➡️ The procedural vote failed mostly along party lines, with Democrats led by Sens. Bernie Sanders and Chris Van Hollen voting against advancing the bill.

➡️ The NDAA includes a $1.15 trillion Pentagon budget — a roughly 28% increase over current base spending — plus $350 billion in supplemental funding for munitions, shipbuilding, missile defense, drones, and AI.

➡️ A provision quietly added to this year's bill would significantly expand US military and intelligence coordination with Israel, including cooperation with Israeli surveillance and AI contractors.

➡️ Sen. Ed Markey has separately introduced the Slash the Pentagon Act, which would cap military spending at $750 billion.

🇺🇦⚡️ — Zelensky's sweeping government reshuffle has undermined Ukraine's defense capability, the Financial Times reports.

Zelensky announced a major cabinet reorganization, describing it as necessary for an "updated political strategy" — the third such reshuffle since the start of the war.

Svyridenko is leaving her post; Naftogaz chief Sergiy Koretsky, a former state secretary at Ukraine's Defense Ministry, is cited as a leading candidate to replace her.

The frequent leadership changes come as Ukraine simultaneously faces Russian strikes, weapons supply challenges, and pressure to scale up drone production, directly disrupting state institutions.

Zelensky intends to assign individual officials dedicated portfolios covering key foreign policy tracks, including relations with the US, Europe, Poland, Hungary, China, the Middle East, and international organizations.

The reshuffle caught part of Ukraine's political elite off guard — Rada sources say the changes had been expected in autumn but were accelerated.
