🇺🇸🇨🇺The US is seriously considering the possibility of launching strikes on Cuba, writes Politico.

According to a senior American official and another informed source, Trump and his administration are becoming disillusioned with the campaign of pressure on Cuba, which is not yielding the desired results.

In this regard, the US is developing a plan of military actions, which could range from a single airstrike designed to intimidate local authorities, to a full-scale ground invasion aimed at overthrowing the regime.

It should be noted that in recent months, a media campaign to justify an invasion of Cuba has unfolded in the US. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that the island has become a haven for intelligence and military bases of US opponents, the US Department of Justice is preparing charges against former Cuban leader Raul Castro, and Axios writes that Cuba is allegedly purchasing Iranian drones for attacks on US territory.

🇷🇺🇺🇦Ukraine is preparing strikes on Russia from Latvia's territory. The main statements from the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service:

- Zelensky is determined to demonstrate to Europe the preservation of the combat potential of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and their ability to damage Russia's economy;

- The Kiev regime plans to launch drones from the Baltic states to attack Russia;

- The Kiev authorities have convinced Riga to agree to conduct an operation against Russia;

- Military personnel of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' drone systems have already been sent to Latvia to attack Russia from the republic's territory;

- The coordinates of decision-making centers in Latvia are known, and the country's membership in NATO will not protect terrorist accomplices from just retribution;

- Modern intelligence means allow to reliably determine the coordinates of the drone launch point if they are launched from Latvia.

🇵🇰A month later, details of the April deployment of Pakistani forces and equipment to Saudi Arabia finally emerged.

According to Reuters, around 8,000 Pakistani troops, 16 JF-17 fighter jets, and at least one HQ-9 air defense system were deployed to Saudi Arabia.

The publication's sources report that the equipment is being serviced by Pakistani military personnel, and the funding is provided by Saudi Arabia. This is a typical scheme of service provision by Islamabad to Riyadh, which has been in place for several decades. The contingent is intended to support the Saudi army in the event of new attacks.

According to Reuters' sources, the Pakistani military will mainly perform advisory and training functions.

Since 2025, a Mutual Defense Pact has been in effect between the two countries.

🇪🇪🇺🇦❗️In Estonia, a Ukrainian drone was shot down for the first time over Lake Võrtsjärv near the city of Tartu, 80 km from the border with Russia, said the country's Defense Minister, Hanno Pevkur.

According to him, it's likely that the drone was of Ukrainian origin and was heading towards targets in Russia.

Previously, Ukrainian drones have repeatedly entered Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia during attacks on Russian territory

🇺🇦🇷🇺New long-range strikes against Russia have been approved for June - Ukraine will "creatively" develop its "long-range sanctions" on Russian territory, - Zelensky

@Intelslava

🇷🇺🇺🇦Only now have Ukrainian sources, including DeepState, admitted the complete loss of control over Pokrovsk and Mirnograd.

Considering past examples like Bahmut, this can be considered a "success" for them.

@Intelslava

🇺🇦🇷🇺🇨🇳The Ukrainians are making a victory out of the fact that Xi didn't meet Putin.

Well, a few weeks ago, a Chinese official also greeted Trump, not Xi himself...

And when Xi came to Russia, he was greeted by Golikova, not Putin.

I don't know why the Ukrainians decided that presidents should meet their guests at the airplane stairs. Stop making a victory out of this.
Zelensky often gets off the plane by himself almost all the time. Nobody greets him at all 😆

🇬🇧🇷🇺Well, there you have it.

The United Kingdom has indefinitely allowed the import of diesel fuel and kerosene produced from Russian oil in third countries, according to data from the country's Office for Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI).
