Spoke with Canadian Minister of National Defence David McGinty to expand our defense cooperation. Our main focus is air defense to counter ballistic threats, specifically looking to boost the PURL mechanism and secure PAC-3 missiles through JUMPSTART. Expressed gratitude for the AIM-9 missiles for our F-16s, delivered with Belgium's logistical support. We also focused on scaling our tech, urging Canada to invest in Ukrainian drone production via the "Danish model." Additionally, we discussed the delivery of diesel pickups and long-range artillery ammunition through the Czech initiative. Thankful to Canada for their steadfast commitment and joint defense-industrial projects. Together, we are transforming strategic support into immediate battlefield capabilities.

Buried in the BBC writeup of the Russian-sponsored arson attack on Keir Starmer's home is the following nugget. The attackers' handler, Evgeny Lyukshin, the son of a Russian diplomat, studied at Moscow State University's diplomatic academy, which has a Rybar-run media school. Ryber is a sanctioned organization which seeks "to sow discord, promote social division, stoke partisan and racial discord, and encourage hate and violence," according to the U.S. government. Tutors at the media school's program on "information warfare" include SVR illegal Colonel Andrey Berzukov, or "Donald Heathfield," as he was known in Cambridge, Massachusetts, before the FBI arrested him as part of Operation Ghost Stories. Another tutor is Sergey Nalobin, formerly the first secretary in the political section of the Russian Embassy in the UK, but so much more than that, too. Nalobin's father's was a general in the KGB who then went on to serve as Alexander Litvinenko's boss in the economic crimes division of the FSB. Nalobin's brother was also FSB. So, well... yeah. When he was stationed in London, Nalobin (seen at right with Boris Johnson) helped found a pro-Russian front group called Conservative Friends of Russia, to which @lukeharding1968 and I devoted some attention fifteen years ago. Sir Malcolm Rifkind was the honorary president at one point before he cottoned onto what he'd signed up for and quit. Nalobin's diplomatic credentials expired and he was subsequently posted to Tallinn. (My informed guess is the Estonians let him in to keep an eye on him.) Looks like Sergey's time in the West wasn't wasted, however. He's now helping to instruct a bright young generation of Russian operatives how to foment race war and remotely recruit gig saboteurs from an elite institution of higher learning in Moscow. A whole gaggle of Tories can say they knew him when... bbc.com/news/articles/c8r2l3…

🚨 NEW: The BBC has revealed Russia has been setting up fake far-right and Islamist groups in the UK to stoke division Operatives paid people to vandalise mosques, spread extremist propaganda and inflame tensions after the Southport riots

🚨 Trump's Campaign Chairman Tim Nolan has been convicted of trafficking 19 girls, 7 of them underage.

Stephen Miller wants to flip a switch and erase one of your oldest rights. It’s called habeas corpus. Fancy words but a simple idea that the government can’t just grab you and lock you away. It has to prove to a judge why you’re behind bars. That right is 800 years old. It’s older than America itself. And Miller tried to kill it. New reporting confirms it. Inside the White House, Miller pushed to suspend habeas corpus so agents could seize people, detain them, and deport them with no judge, no hearing, no chance to say “you’ve got the wrong guy.” Even Trump’s own lawyers put in writing that this is illegal. Miller pushed anyway. Miller screams “invasion” because the Constitution only allows this sort of thing during an invasion. But this same crowd brags every day that border crossings hit record lows. So which is it? The right to challenge your own detention is the line between a republic and a regime. Lose it, and the government can disappear anyone. I will fight this with everything I have. The Constitution is not optional. Not for Stephen Miller. Not for anyone. nytimes.com/2026/06/15/us/po…

Yet somehow Zelenskyy not wearing a suit was a problem.

MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH: Ukrainian 🇺🇦 forces are executing deep-penetration ops and are now linking up behind Russian 🇷🇺 lines. Russian milbloggers admit infiltration groups flooding the Dnepropetrovsk front. Sustained operational depth. Game-changer. ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

The Russian government was behind fire bombing attacks on British Prime Ministers cars and house according to the BBC. Wow…

⚡The UK is sending 6,000 laser-guided Martlet missiles to Ukraine to counter Russian drone attacks and protect critical infrastructure. united24media.com/war-in-ukr…

Ukraine has developed a heavy underwater drone named "Sea Trident" that can carry up to 1,000 kg of explosives. It can dive to depths of up to 60 meters and reach a top speed of up to 18.5 km/h. Did you just think of the Crimean Bridge, too?

Parliament has just passed it. From now on, in Hungary, a Prime Minister may serve a maximum of two terms, or eight years.

🔴 Four Ukrainian rescuers killed in Russian strike double-tap attack. Ukraine's State Emergency Service rescuers Dmytrii Boyko, Danylo Tishchenko, Serhii Makovetskyi, and Vadym Zinchenko were killed and nine others injured during a secondary Russian attack on a civilian enterprise in Kharkiv on the night of June 15.

🇩🇪 “In the event of a war with Russia, NATO will strike Kaliningrad, the Kola Peninsula, St. Petersburg, and the waters of the Black Sea,” — states the Commander of the German Air Force, Lieutenant General Holger Neumann. In his first interview with a British newspaper, the head of the Luftwaffe (German Air Force) noted that in the event of an attack on the Western Alliance, its forces will carry out devastating air strikes on Russia. In another warning directed at Moscow, he emphasized that in NATO “there are no different security zones — this means that an attack on Estonia will trigger exactly the same response as an air strike on London.” Lieutenant General Neumann added that if NATO is forced to defend itself, the Kola Peninsula in northwestern Russia, Kaliningrad, and the Black Sea will feel the full wrath of the Alliance — “Germany is ready to fight against Russia already today and will defend every centimeter of NATO territory,” — states the Luftwaffe commander. 
This is a strong and unambiguous deterrent statement from one of NATO’s key military leaders. It clearly signals that any aggression against a member state will be met with overwhelming force across multiple strategic Russian regions. The emphasis on unified response and the absence of “different security zones” reinforces Article 5 and aims to dissuade Russia from testing NATO’s resolve, particularly in the Baltic region.

Surprise! The weapon that Russia did not expect from Germany Germany's HX-2 loitering ammunition weighs only 12 kilos but is pure hell for the Russian. It does not need GPS at all - navigates with AI and machine vision instead. Russia's most advanced jamming system? Almost completely useless. The drone looks ahead, finds the target and slams it anyway. Mini-Taurus with German engineering know-how and Ukrainian input. Suddenly it feels like Russia is not only being showered with oil - now they are also getting intelligent little bastards that cannot be jammed away. Germany 2026: "We are not sending tanks... but look what we have instead." Russia: panic jamming intensifies What do you think - will this be a game changer or just one of many new toys?

Russia was behind arson attacks targeting PM, BBC reveals bbc.in/4ewFcvw

🔴 Russian strike destroys major post terminal in Kyiv The facility, which served as the Nova Poshta’s first hub featuring advanced Vanderlande sorting technology, was leveled the attack, according to CEO Yevhen Tafiychuk.

US researchers have apparently identified the cause of widespread GPS disruptions over Europe: Russian early-warning satellites are reportedly emitting signals capable of significantly impairing GPS reception. Russia’s suspected use of early-warning satellites to deliberately jam GPS signals across large parts of Europe marks a dangerous escalation in space-based electronic warfare. Instead of using these systems—which are intended for missile early warning—solely for defensive purposes, Moscow is apparently testing or operating offensive capabilities that threaten civil aviation, maritime shipping, emergency services, and critical infrastructure on a continental scale. Has the email of condemnation already been sent to Moscow?
