Russia jammed GPS on hundreds of British military flights, reports The Telegraph.
The British newspaper analyzed data from the Flight Radar flight tracking service, covering 63 British military aircraft between January 1 and April 30. These aircraft made a total of 1,467 flights over Eastern Europe and the Middle East.
During this period, British military aircraft conducted 504 transport and reconnaissance flights over Eastern Europe, with 142 encountering GPS jamming, including 60 repeated attempts.
A Russian GPS jamming station is located in the Kaliningrad region, a Baltic Sea region between Poland and Lithuania.
British Defense Minister Grant Shapps, who experienced GPS signal jamming firsthand in the spring, called The Telegraph's report "another example of Russia's recklessness and further proof that it is an uncontrolled enemy state."
NATO has redeployed Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) aircraft over Poland to monitor the skies over Ukraine, supporting the Alliance's increased regional presence and monitoring Russian military activity. The data gathered is transmitted to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, reports the UK Defense Journal.
"Officially, any intelligence collected is sent only to NATO countries, but it is well known that some of these countries quickly share information with Ukraine, allowing them to counter incoming attacks. Western intelligence gives Ukraine the opportunity to react a little faster," said a former Royal Air Force officer who wished to remain anonymous.
"As Russia's illegal war in Ukraine continues to threaten peace and security in Europe, there should be no doubt about NATO's determination to protect and defend every inch of Alliance territory. Our AWACS can detect aircraft hundreds of kilometers away, making them a key deterrent and defense force for NATO," stated NATO spokeswoman Oana Lungescu during a similar deployment last year.
In response to Russia's war in Ukraine, NATO has increased its air presence in Eastern Europe with additional fighter jets, surveillance planes, and refueling aircraft.
Since February 2022, NATO AWACS aircraft have been conducting regular patrols over Eastern Europe and the Baltic Sea region to track Russian warplanes near NATO borders.
1985 - Trump demands negotiations with the USSR
Reporter : You said that you could handle negotiations with the USSR better than Reagan?
Trump : I could do that. If we do not come to an agreement with the USSR, there will be neither peace nor America as a whole.
The murder of former pilot Kuzminov, who escaped from Russia to Ukraine by helicopter, was financed by Russian officials based in Vienna, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The newspaper reports that the payment to Kuzminov's killers by Russian officials exemplifies Austria's role as a planning center for Russian intelligence operations in Europe.
Sources within the intelligence services of the United States, Europe, and Austria indicate that Austria has become a financial and logistical hub for Russia to conduct sabotage and assassinations of Kremlin opponents.
Kuzminov, who hijacked a Russian helicopter in August 2023, was killed in February of this year in Spain. His body, found in the garage of his home, bore multiple gunshot wounds.
The first German BMPs are already being restored in Ukraine within the framework of the agreement with Rheinmetall — Ukroboronprom
"In a short period of time, we went from concluding an agreement and registering a joint venture in October 2023 to the start of production facilities. It was quite a difficult path, but the first German combat vehicles are already being restored on the territory of Ukraine," said the general director of Ukroboronprom. He added that further development and deepening of cooperation with the German concern is planned. In particular, the repair of artillery systems is planned in the short term. There is also a larger project - the production of the latest German Lynx BMPs at the site of the manufacture.
"The Kremlin and Putin himself realize that they will lose this war," stated Swedish Minister of Defense Paul Jonson in an interview with Bild.
"But I believe that Russia is very interested in dividing us politically, both in the EU and in NATO. We see this, and I believe that Ukraine is currently a protective shield against Russian military expansion.
If that shield falls because we don’t have the stamina or the will to invest enough money to continue supporting Ukraine, the threat against us will certainly increase," Jonson said.
He also expressed concern that Georgia and Moldova might face an increased threat.

Typhus and cholera are actively spreading among the occupiers in Ukraine, - Bild
According to the publication's open data analysis expert Julian Röpke , z-publics write about deaths in the occupied part of the Kherson region, and the number of cases is growing.
He notes that each soldier is given 18 liters of water for 14 days in plastic bottles, and the occupier commanders are instructed to give them at least 1.5 liters per day, but then the water will run out in 4 days. Thus, due to thirst, ruzzians drink dirty water from rivers and wells, filtering it only with cloth, which leads to infection with typhoid and cholera.
In one of the videos that appeared online, the occupier says that his comrades are surrendering because of thirst, and there was no water or food for three days. In response to this, Rospropaganda states that cholera supposedly did not exist in these areas and has not existed for 20 years.

WSJ: Vienna has become major Russian spy hub for anti-Western operations in Europe
The capital of Austria has become a major Russian spy center in Europe, where Moscow agents are planning and conducting anti-Western special operations, The Wall Street Journal has reported, citing sources in Austrian intelligence.
The publication notes that over the past two years, the number of Russian state employees in Austria has increased to over 500. More than half of them are diplomats. However, according to Austrian intelligence estimates, up to half of them are spies.
European and American intelligence reports that Vienna is now a base for Russian covert operations, including funding and logistical support for assassinations, sabotage, and spy recruitment across Europe, as well as industrial espionage and influence operations.

EU approves sanctions against Belarus
These sanctions are designed to reflect some of the restrictive measures against the Russian Federation and thus solve the problem of circumventing sanctions.
The website of the EU Council refers in particular to the expansion of restrictions on the export of advanced technologies, dual-use goods or goods that can help strengthen the Belarusian industrial potential. This also applies to maritime goods and technologies and luxury goods. Imports of gold and diamonds, helium, coal and mineral products, including crude oil, were restricted.

Not a single day passes without the Kremlin’s talking heads finding yet another scapegoat to explain the tragedies of Russia’s own making.
In a timely example of pro-Kremlin finger-pointing, disinformers quickly spread baseless allegations that Ukrainian intelligence and NATO countries masterminded the terror attacks in Dagestan.
These false claims are part of recurring pro-Kremlin narratives that portray Ukraine as a ‘terrorist regime’ and accuse the West of ‘supporting terrorist organizations’ in the Middle East.
Furthermore, these narratives blame civilian casualties in Russia, resulting from its invasion of Ukraine, on the West’s support for Ukraine’s self-defence. It’s important to remember that Russian disinformation has a history of attributing terrorist attacks in Russia and the targeting of religious communities to external forces.
This tactic aims to deflect responsibility from the Kremlin, obscure the inadequacies of Russian security services, and foster mistrust towards Western countries and Ukraine.
In the aftermath of the Crocus City Hall terrorist attack, the pro-Kremlin disinformation ecosystem has attempted to capitalize on the tragedy to foment anti-Ukrainian and anti-Western attitudes in Kazakhstan. They spread false claims that the ‘West had initiated a terrorist campaign‘ in Russia and Central Asia, aiming to manipulate public sentiment and shift any blame away from the Kremlin.
As usual, there is no credible evidence to support claims about ‘Western interference’ in the alleged plot in Kazakhstan or anywhere else. This narrative is a localized version of a recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation fantasy suggesting a Western policy of staging ‘colour revolutions’ worldwide with the aim of ‘destabilizing Russia’. Narratives like this are another case of projection, as Russia’s destabilizing activities within Europe and elsewhere are well-documented facts.
