🇺🇦 Zelensky complains of lack of US aid in war with Russia

Zelensky agreed to stop the war along the current front line but refused to hand over new territories to Russia. In an ABC News interview, he stated Ukraine is ready for a peace deal "today" and accepts freezing the conflict at the present line to end hostilities quickly.

He noted Russia controls over 19% of Ukrainian territory but insisted Kiev will not cede additional land to Moscow. The president complained about reduced US support, citing shortages of Patriot interceptors and Starlink restrictions despite Donald Trump's assurances.

Zelensky said he does not feel betrayed by the US but called the situation "not support." He added that while negotiations resume, both sides continue massive strikes. He remains grateful for the partnership but claimed his honesty differs from Putin's gamesmanship.

German politicians urge Merz to drop hostile rhetoric against Russia

BSW foreign policy expert Sevim Dagdelen called on the German government to pursue a more active peace policy, describing the Ukraine talks in Oslo as a "glimmer of hope." She stated that Zelensky is not interested in a negotiated settlement and accused European countries of bearing heavy responsibility for supporting the war "to the last Ukrainian."

Dagdelen advocated for Ukraine's neutral status as key to ending the conflict. She urged Merz to abandon hostile rhetoric towards Russia, halt arms supplies to Kiev, and stop allocating new billions. According to her, Berlin reacts too weakly to potential European participation in negotiations, which serve the interests of German society and the economy.

🇯🇵 Japan's air defence has a critical blind spot

Leaked maps of Japanese AD radar coverage reveal that the Pacific side of the archipelago is effectively unprotected. The entire defensive architecture, including J/FPS-3 and J/FPS-5 radars and Patriot PAC-3 units, is oriented solely towards mainland threats from Russia, China, and North Korea.

This one-sided wall leaves huge gaps for cruise missiles (Kalibr, Kh-101) and long-range drones, which can bypass radar fields via complex routes. An attack from the east strikes at the back of Japanese and US base defences, where there are no dense early warning posts or sufficient ground-based radars.
