Sweden Won't Turn Its Older Gripen Fighters Into Spares, Offering Ukraine a Rare Opportunity
en.defence-ua.com/news/sweden_wo… 2/
The plan to dismantle 60 JAS 39 Gripen C/D fighters to use their components for the new Gripen E/F fighters was dismissed, the aircraft will retain their combat capability, meaning they can be transferred
Swedish Ministry of Defense has ultimately rejected the idea of dismantling older JAS 39 Gripen C/D fighters to produce more advanced Gripen E/F variants, opting instead to allocate funds for new equipment procurement

This decision ensures that the entire fleet of legacy Gripen C/Ds will remain combat-capable and not be cannibalized for spare parts, as Saab confirmed.

The company announced it has been awarded a contract worth 2.9 billion Swedish kronor (~€260 million) to supply components for the production of 60 Gripen E fighters

Russia Is Ready to Begin Its Summer Offensive

June 27, 2025

Russia’s summer offensive signals Putin’s determination to overwhelm Ukraine using mass drone warfare, motorcycle assaults, and Chinese tech support, while betting on scale, endurance, and Western hesitancy to act

nationalinterest.org/feature/russia… 2/
Vladimir Putin appears increasingly confident that Russia will ultimately prevail on the battlefield in Ukraine as Moscow wages a bloody summer offensive.

Just as Putin claimed in his 2021 essay
atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainea…
that Russians and Ukrainians are “one people” and that Ukraine’s sovereignty hinges on Moscow’s approval, he reiterated
meduza.io/en/news/2025/0…
in late June: “I’ve said it before, Russians and Ukrainians are one people. In this sense, all of Ukraine is ours. There’s an old rule that wherever a Russian soldier sets foot, that’s ours.”

"Russia wants to complete the SVO with the desired result":

- Putin declared readiness for a new round of negotiations with Ukraine🤡

Russian dictator Vladimir Putin has said that Moscow wants the "SVO" to end with the desired result and that the aggressor country's defense spending is aimed at this. He also announced that Russia is apparently ready for a new round of talks with Ukraine, all that remains is to agree on a place and time

obozrevatel.com/ukr/novosti-ro… 2/
Putin made these statements on June 27 during a press conference following a trip to Minsk.

Commenting on the deplorable economic situation and inflation in Russia,

" he claimed that Moscow was allegedly planning to cut defense spending".

According to him, Russia currently spends 6.3% of its GDP per year on defense, which, he says, is "not much."

"We paid for this with inflation, but we are fighting it. Most importantly, we plan to reduce defense spending," the dictator promised, adding that "all departments are thinking in this direction."

At the same time, Putin said, Europe is "thinking about how to raise spending."

"So who is preparing for aggressive actions, us or them? We want the SVO to be completed with the result we need, defense spending is aimed at this," the Kremlin leader said.

Speaking about the alleged "attempts of the West to bury" the Russian economy, he stated that "they themselves will soon die there, and they are burying us."

According to the Russian leader, the West will allegedly not be able to "cover up" oil supplies from Russia

Carl-Oskar Bohlin

Swedish journalist:

On a makeshift patio right next to the harbor basin in Visby ( Sweden town at the island Gotland ), Vladyslav and Malik are sitting.

Neither I nor anyone else in Almedalen ( an speachplace during this week ) can possibly fully understand the extent of what they have been through and been subjected to. After an hour of conversation, I ask them if I can try to recount what they have told me and they answer in the affirmative. 

- That is why we have come here, to let the outside world know what we have been through, they both say.

What they have come to Almedalen to tell about is their time as Ukrainian prisoners of war in Russia. For two and two and a half years respectively, they were forced to endure what had made every circle in Dante's hell seem like a holiday trip. Malik begins. 2/
- We were woken up at 6am every morning. The day started with us being beaten all over our bodies with sticks, then we were forced back into the cell. Eight to ten people in each cell, monitored by a camera.

From six in the morning we were then forced to stand in individual positions completely still until ten in the evening.
No one was allowed to move,
no one was allowed to talk,
no one was allowed to do anything.

If a single person moved, fell or somehow fell out of the frame, the door was opened and everyone in the cell was taken out to be subjected to collective punishment.

We were given electric shocks and beaten all over our bodies. 

- When I ask how it is even physically possible to stand upright in exactly the same position day in and day out for all waking hours of the day, Malik replies;  

- When you have experienced first being soaked and then attacked with an electric rod that is plugged into a wall socket, you will stand up until it is the last thing you do. Some died, some lost their composure. 

Those who went crazy, as Malik puts it, disappeared. He continues;  

- Russia will never send them back, they never want to show what happened to these people. 

For two and a half years, this was every day of Malik's life.

Putin's 700,000-strong army in Ukraine: is the enemy exhausting Ukrainians or is it exhausting itself? Interview with Simoroz

Currently, there is almost 700,000 Russian occupation army on the territory of Ukraine , reported the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrsky. @CinC_AFU .

Even considering that these forces are stretched along 1,200 kilometers of the front line, this is really a lot. But the fact is that their number is regular.

The enemy realized that he was suffering colossal losses in Ukraine, and simply began to replenish his army taking into account this fact. The huge human and financial resources of the occupying country allow this to be done

war.obozrevatel.com/ukr/700-tisyac… 2/
To achieve success on the battlefield, the enemy is using tactics from the Second World War, which consist of flank attacks and the creation of cauldrons.

This is precisely why the difficult situation has developed in the Toretsk area.

The Ukrainian Defense Forces need to review tactics, attract additional human resources, and ensure effective lines of defense so as not to lose settlements and roads of strategic importance.

In a situation where the enemy has clearly relied on increasing drone attacks on the capital, Ukraine needs to urgently respond to current threats

This opinion was expressed in an exclusive interview with OBOZ.UA by war veteran, public activist, and lawyer Oleg Simoroz .

The Avengers just got real: weekend engineers made Russia’s war tech obsolete — now the Pentagon

By:.@DVKirichenko

While Ukraine’s allies debated aid, 150 weekend engineers launched the rapid-response pipeline smoking NATO deadlines — delivering tech that crashes Russia’s multi-billion weapons within weeks.
euromaidanpress.com/2025/06/18/the… 2/
The fiber-optic drones that laugh at Russian jammers. The $10,000 radars that beat $10-million systems. The netgun quadcopters snatching enemy eyes from the sky. None came from NATO labs — they came from basements, battlefields, and backchannel Zoom calls.

While Ukraine’s allies debated aid packages and tiptoed around “escalation,” a global league of engineers, tinkerers, and combat-tested coders — calling themselves Defense Tech for Ukraine (DTU) — has built a rapid-response tech pipeline their own governments can only dream of

Putin will lose if Iran is defeated: Trump can no longer help "friend Vladimir." Interview with Feigin

The conflict between Israel and Iran has three consequences for the regime in Russia at once - one positive and two negative. The positive for the Kremlin is that it has the opportunity to take advantage of the distraction from the war in Ukraine. The aggressor is trying to act "in the moment".

The bad news for the Kremlin dictator is that the administration of US President Donald Trump has put the dialogue with Moscow on hold. The third consequence of the war in the Middle East for Putin is that he is catastrophically losing geopolitical influence. This opinion was expressed by Russian human rights activist Mark Feigin in an exclusive interview

The bad news for the Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin is that the administration of US President Donald Trump has put the dialogue with Moscow on hold. After all, it is not yet clear who the Kremlin will actually support and how the situation will develop further.

North Korean "new equipment" of the Russian occupiers: what weapons has the DPRK already handed over to the aggressor for the war against Ukraine and what is left "in reserve"

In recent days, Russian propaganda has increasingly begun to demonstrate North Korean weapon "updates" that have appeared in the arsenal of the ROV. And we are talking not only about the 170-mm Koksan self-propelled guns and the 240-mm M1991 MLRS, but also about mortars, small rocket systems, etc.

We will try to analyze and systematize the new arrivals in the army of the aggressor country, why the occupiers chose them and how they can be used

war.obozrevatel.com/ukr/pivnichnok… 2/
More details about this can be found in the material of the joint project OBOZ. UA and the group "Information Resistance" .
sprotyv.info

First of all, I will voice those types of weapons that, in addition to the Koksan self-propelled guns and the M1991 MLRS, have increasingly begun to "shine" in photos and videos of specialized Russian sites and so-called Z-bloggers.

This, in particular, a 60-mm mortar, an analogue of the Chinese Type 63, as well as a 140-mm mortar. In addition, a small 107-mm MLRS Type 75 was shown. Russian troops also began to receive analogues of the 122-mm D-74 corps artillery gun. And in the Kursk region, a short-range Pongae M-2020 air defense system, an analogue of the Tor-M2 air defense system, was verified.

As we can see, Russia receives mostly artillery, both barreled and rocket-propelled, from North Korea, which indicates the depletion of its own stocks in warehouses and storage bases due to large-scale losses over the three and a half years of the full-scale war in Ukraine. But the artillery systems supplied to Russia mostly have very specific calibers and, as a result, ammunition that is not produced at Russian enterprises

Of all the above models, only the D-74 analogue has a "native" Russian caliber - 122 mm. In other words, at the current stage, the DPRK is supplying models that make the DPRK acutely dependent on North Korean ammunition. That is, Kim Jong-un is putting Putin on the North Korean needle as much as possible. But let's consider each model separately

SUPERPOWER RISING:

JERUSALEM, ISRAEL — When the shooting stops and the smoke clears, Israel will emerge as the sole superpower in the Middle East.

This is a good thing.

A very good thing.

The world’s 600 million Evangelical Christians – including the 60 million Evangelicals in the United States – should be cheering.

And praying without ceasing. @netanyahu is transforming Israel into the sole Mideast superpower by wiping the Iran threat ‘off the map’

‘THERE IS A TIME FOR WAR’

No one wants war.

But the Bible tells us that “there is a time for war and a time for peace” (Ecclesiastes 3:8).

President Donald J. Trump offered Tehran a peaceful path.

They rejected it.

Trump gave Tehran 60 days to negotiate a good, robust and verifiable deal to give up their nuclear weapons program in return for U.S. economic sanctions being removed from them – or they would face war.

But the terror masters in Tehran refused to negotiate in good faith.

So, on Thursday, Trump gave Netanyahu the green light.

A PROPHETIC MOMENT

We are watching Bible prophecy unfolding before our very eyes.

Yes, Bible prophecy, in the books of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Zechariah, Daniel and Revelation, tells that the world will turn against Israel and the Jewish people in the last days of history and try to wipe Israel off the map.

But the prophets also speak of a time of great peace and prosperity in Israel and the region that I call the Epicenter before those terrible and traumatic and apocalyptic days.

I believe we are now heading into a time of prophetic peace, quiet and calm.

It won’t last long – but it’s coming and coming fast.

I’ll write more on these prophecies soon.

For now, let’s stick with geopolitics

NETANYAHU’S DEFINING MOMENT

Ukrainian ballistics at 500 km? What is known about the Ukrainian Sapsan OTRK, the serial production of which was announced by Zelensky

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that Ukraine is preparing for mass production of Sapsan ballistic missiles. The development of this operational-tactical missile complex began in the 2000s, and its range reaches 500 km.

OBOZ.UA investigated what is known about "Sapsan" and what the "Grim-2" has to do with it, which the Russians have long been afraid of

Where it all began:

We have already written that the first Ukrainian operational-tactical missile system capable of delivering strikes at short (about 100 km) and medium (up to 500 km) distances was to be the Borysfen OTRK. However, due to organizational and financial difficulties, this project became obsolete even at the "paper" development stage. 2/
On its basis, it was decided to create the Sapsan OTRK, which was to combine the properties of multiple launch rocket systems, tactical and operational-tactical complexes. The new operational-tactical missile was planned to be adopted in 2011, but the traditional lack of funding and political contradictions between the branches of government prevented it .
war.obozrevatel.com/ukr/raketnij-k…

"Sapsan" and "Grim-2" - are they the same thing?

After the victory of the Revolution of Dignity and the beginning of Russian aggression in 2014, the issue of completing the development of the Sapsan complex was again on the agenda. Many experts assumed that the Sapsan project found its implementation in the Grim-2 missile complex, which was demonstrated on August 24, 2018 at the military parade dedicated to the Independence Day of Ukraine

Due to the fact that the project is classified, there is no exact official information about whether the Sapsan and the Grim-2 are the same development. Some military experts expressed the opinion that the Grim-2 is an export version of the Sapsan. Others developed the theory that the Grim-2 will have a flight range of 500 km, and the Sapsan - almost 2,000 km.

If we assume that the Sapsan, which Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke about on June 14, is the complex previously called "Thunder-2", it is worth understanding what we know about it.

"Russia's human resources are not unlimited":
- American general named "two critical areas" for Ukraine in the war

The aggressor country Russia does not take into account its own losses on the battlefield in Ukraine. However, its human resources are not unlimited, although the invaders can afford not to take into account losses for some time. Moreover, the occupiers are already finding it difficult to replace the losses of military specialists, especially junior officer commanders.
obozrevatel.com/ukr/topic/pote… 2/
Russian manpower losses in Ukraine exceed 1 million: minus 1,140 occupiers per day.
They also neutralized 331 units of Russian military equipment and weapons .

Over more than three years of full-scale war , the total losses (medical and irretrievable) of the occupation army personnel reached 1,000,340 servicemen . Updated data was published by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on June 12.

The day before, Ukrainian soldiers neutralized 47 artillery systems (a total of 29,063), six tanks (10,933), three armored combat vehicles (22,786), and one air defense system (1,184) of the Russian occupation forces.

In the sky on the front line, the defenders shot down 138 Russian operational-tactical drones (40,435 in total), and on the ground, they burned 136 units of automotive equipment and tanker trucks (51,715).

The loss of even one MiG-31K is critical: what is known about Russia's ability to restore the carriers of the "Daggers"

The Russian Federation is unable to produce new MiG-31K aircraft, which are the carriers of the "Daggers". Therefore, any losses of this aircraft will be acute and critical for it.

This is reported by the Defense Express publication. The journalists add that at the beginning of last year, 2024, about 90 such interceptors were in service with the Russian Aerospace Forces and another 30 units were in service with the Russian Navy's naval aviation.

"During the full-scale war against Ukraine, the Russians made some efforts to even increase the MiG-31K fleet," the report says.

"During the full-scale war against Ukraine, the Russians made some efforts to even increase the MiG-31K fleet," the report says.

Journalists add that at the beginning of 2022, the Russian Federation had 12 aircraft of this type. But the 2024 edition of The Military Balance wrote about the possible presence of even up to 24 MiG-31Ks.

"It is also worth taking into account the reports of the appearance in the service of the Russian Aerospace Forces of aircraft of the MiG-31И "Ishim" type, which differ from the MiG-31K in the declared ability to supposedly automatically go to the launch point of the Kh-47M2 "Dagger" (on the MiG-31K, all operations must be performed essentially manually by a crew of two)," the article notes.

However, the base for expanding the MiG-31K and MiG-31I "Ishim" fleet could be a certain number of MiG-31s ​​in storage, which as of 2018 was estimated to be in the range of 130 to 150 aircraft.

"However, this base could serve mainly as a 'spare parts graveyard' to maintain the fleet of MiG-31B/BM interceptors in service with the Russian Armed Forces," the article summarizes.

@ZelenskyyUa responded to @realDonaldTrump:

- Russia and Ukraine are not "children" fighting in the park, Putin "is a murderer"

Trump recently compared the largest war in Europe since World War II between Ukraine and the Russian Federation to "a fight between children in a park." Zelenskyy reacted to this strange "metaphor."
obozrevatel.com/ukr/person/don…

The head of state said that it was not about "children in the park", but about a "murderer" who came to kill children. Zelensky said this in an interview with ABC.
abcnews.go.com/Politics/zelen…

"We are not children with Putin on a playground in the park. He is a murderer who came to this park to kill children," the President of Ukraine noted.

During a meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Trump compared Russia's bloody full-scale war against Ukraine to "a fight between two kids" who are hitting each other "like crazy." According to the US president, "sometimes it's better to let them fight a little bit" before pulling them apart.

Such a cynical comparison struck even Western journalists. So the interviewer who met with Zelensky asked whether, in his opinion, Trump even understands the suffering the Ukrainian people are experiencing as a result of Russian aggression.

"He didn't mention any statistics, numbers, or the number of blows. He simply said, 'Every morning when I wake up, I look for my family - in every corner of the apartment... I still think it was a nightmare... a bad dream,'" Zelenskyy recounted the words of the grieving father

"Russia is not preparing for peace": Palisa spoke in the US Senate about the situation on the front

The SBU's Operation "Web" became a symbol of the new quality of Ukrainian actions, as 41 Russian aircraft were hit in an hour, including DRLV aircraft.

Palisa also shared important intelligence with the Americans:

"Russia is not preparing for peace... Since 2022, Russia has received over 8.4 million artillery shells of aid. They are actively building anti-Western alliances, although they themselves talk about isolation," he wrote.

The probable means of destruction could have been the #Toloka or #Marichka sea drones, as #Ukraine️ had previously developed such weapons.

This is reported by Defense Express.

Although, as the publication notes, the aforementioned drones are not the only possible option.

"The operation lasted several months. SBU agents mined the supports of this illegal facility. And today, without any casualties among the civilian population, at 4:44 am the first explosive device was activated!

The underwater supports of the supports were severely damaged at the bottom level - 1,100 kg of explosives in the TNT equivalent contributed to this. In fact, the bridge is in a state of emergency," the SBU emphasized .

It is extremely important to understand that the explosion was carried out on the bottom at a depth of about 10 meters. Therefore, there is no fire show, as in previous times. Also, the real condition of the support can be assessed after this only during diving work. Moreover, this also means the corresponding complexity of any repair work.

Crash Putin’s $7-billion “red lines” aircraft — while Russia fights them back with sticks

Last year, Ukrainian military intelligence did what sounds like science fiction: they fed thousands of images of Russian jets into artificial intelligence systems, training machines to hunt and dive-bomb strategic bombers meant to launch nuclear annihilation.

On 1 June, those AI-trained killing machines proved they learned their lessons perfectly.

Ukrainian forces loaded homegrown drones into ordinary trucks, smuggled them deep into Russia’s rear, and unleashed mechanical predators that struck four airbases from the Arctic to Siberia — wiping out a $7 billion of Russia’s elite air force in a single day.

FT journalist publishes full version of Ukrainian memorandum that was handed over to Russia

Christopher Miller, a journalist for the British newspaper Financial Times, has published the full version of the Ukrainian memorandum that was handed over to Russia as part of the negotiations in Istanbul . The first point in it is a complete and unconditional ceasefire.

Miller shared a copy of the document on his X social media page. According to it, the first point of the memorandum is a complete and unconditional ceasefire in the sky, on land, and at sea "as a necessary prerequisite for peace negotiations

x.com/ChristopherJM/… 2/
As a next step, Kyiv proposes to implement "confidence-building measures" - resolving humanitarian issues.

This concerns the unconditional return of all deported and illegally displaced Ukrainian children, the exchange of all prisoners on an "all for all" basis, and the release by Russia of all civilian hostages.

The third proposed condition for Ukraine is the non-repetition of aggression

The goal of the negotiations is to restore a permanent basis for lasting peace and security and to ensure that aggression does not occur again," the memorandum states.

The next point is security guarantees and involvement of the international community. As stated in the document, Ukraine must receive reliable security guarantees.

It is assumed that Moscow and Kyiv will invite the international community to participate in the negotiations and provide guarantees to ensure the implementation of the agreements.

Kyiv's fifth condition is sovereignty. "Ukraine does not undertake obligations to be neutral. It can choose to be part of the Euro-Atlantic community and move towards EU membership.

"Ukraine's membership in NATO depends on consensus within the Alliance. No restrictions can be imposed on the number, deployment, and other parameters of the Ukrainian Defense Forces, as well as on the deployment of troops of foreign friendly states on the territory of Ukraine," the memorandum states
