Germany flew its newest fighter jet for the first time, and it could keep the Luftwaffe airborne well into the 2050s.

Deadly Russian strike hits Odesa as von der Leyen arrives in Ukraine for defence talks – AOL aol.co.uk/articles/deadly-ru…

Russian economist Vyacheslav Shiryaev’s warning has officially come true: “Finita la commedia for Russia. Once Salavat is hit, it’s over.” 📉🔥
Videos circulating on social media show thick black smoke rising over the massive Salavat refinery in Bashkortostan after a series of explosions.
Why this is a strategic game-changer:
Salavat was Russia’s last major, undamaged refinery supplying critical regions.
With this giant knocked out, Russia’s fuel logistics are in ruins.
Ukraine can now systematically finish off previously damaged refineries.
1,500 km from the frontlines, Russia’s economic backbone is burning. Shiryaev was right: the comedy is over. ⛽️🇺🇦 #Russia #UkraineWar #Salavat #OilWar

How it started: “We will take Kyiv in three days!” 🇷🇺🚀 How it’s going: “If we don’t win, Russia will cease to exist.” 📉💀
Kremlin propagandists on Russian state TV are officially panicking. As Ukraine systematically erases their oil refineries and the Russian economy chokes, talking heads like Sergey Mikheyev are openly drawing parallels to 1917 and 1991.They’re warning of an “explosive” situation, with rising public distrust, fuel shortages, and zero military progress.
When your own state media shifts from supreme confidence to existential dread, you know the reality check has finally hit the fan. Grab the popcorn. 🍿🇷🇺 #Russia #Putin #UkraineWar #Propaganda
