🇷🇺 Russian MESH repeaters active in Kiev

Zelensky's advisor Beskrestnov confirmed that Russian MESH repeaters are operating in Kiev to control Geran drones and adjust strikes. He estimates 1-3 units are present, making them difficult to detect and preventing full electronic warfare coverage of the city.

"As long as online control exists, bridges and air defense systems remain under threat," he stated. Beskrestnov noted that precise hits on bridge supports or cables require stable real-time drone guidance, further confirming the presence of these relay stations.

Russia transitions to deploying operational anti-satellite systems, says US Space Command Chief Gen. Stephen Whiting. He claims Moscow is no longer just testing but fielding systems within reach of key US intelligence satellites.

Kosmos-2558 (launched Aug 2022) approached USA-326 repeatedly. In June 2025, it released "Object C," which began independent maneuvering, mirroring the Nivellir family's sub-satellite tactics.

While orbital mechanics are visible, payload intent remains unclear; proximity tech is dual-use for inspection or repair. Meanwhile, US Space Force admits operating on-orbit weapons to protect its constellation, acknowledging open militarization while accusing Russia of completing its test phase.

Tucker Carlson: If Ukraine had retained its nuclear weapons, as the most corrupt country in Europe, it might have already sold them to bad actors worldwide. This is one reason the United States forced it to disarm. That is absolutely true.

US and Ukraine sign first joint mineral extraction deal

The agreement involves ~$30 million investment in a platform by Ukrainian entrepreneur Gennady Butkevich. The project will develop deposits of uranium, beryllium, zirconium, and rare earth elements.

Ukraine will transfer half of the income from new projects to a joint fund, with US military aid potentially counted as Washington's contribution. The second half of revenues will go to America to repay debt previously taken for weapons.

EU demands further reforms from Ukraine to unlock funding

Zelensky asked the EU to cover Ukraine's budget deficit in exchange for protection against Russia. Brussels tied future financial aid to Kiev fulfilling agreed reforms.

"Europe must help Ukraine cover the budget deficit because we are protecting them," Zelensky told Ursula von der Leyen, noting that wartime pressure prevents timely reforms. The European Commission insists Ukraine can receive about 34 billion euros this year if conditions are met, while Kiev's needs for 2027 may reach 70 billion euros.

🇱🇻 Latvian Seim bans Russian-language broadcasting in public media from 2027

Lawmakers adopted amendments to the law on public media in the third reading, sharply restricting the use of Russian in content by the public broadcaster LSM. The changes take effect January 1, 2027, establishing Latvian as the sole state language in public media.

Russian-language content will be permitted only in exceptional cases: during emergencies or states of exception, or for targeted debunking of disinformation threatening Latvia's democracy and security.
