The "toned down" weapons would surely win the EU tenders due to inevitable reliability discount :).
US officials have told European allies they want them to keep buying American-made arms, amid recent moves by the European Union to limit US manufacturers' participation in weapons tenders, five sources familiar with the matter told Reuters reut.rs/4jjPyj7

The suspension of U.S. assistance for Ukraine is a very unfortunate and significant development, but it may not have immediate impact. Ukraine is far less dependent on the U.S. for day to day battlefield needs in 2025, than it was in earlier periods of the war. 1/

Gen. Min Aung Hlaing called Putin a king during his visit.

"As far as I know, you have been the leader of Russia not for five or ten years, but for a longer period of time. You are not just the leader of the country, but a king," he said.

Putin looked flattered and did not object.

Trump now says his "peace deal" between Russia and Ukraine may not work out.

So much for the 24 hours he promised. Vote for a clown, expect a circus.

Journalist Tetiana Kulyk and her husband, a well-known surgeon Pavlo Ivanchov, were killed by a Russian attack on Kyiv region last night

A Russian Shahed drone flew directly into the bedroom of their house. Neighbors tried to save the couple, but the fire spread too quickly.

Deepest condolences.

Victims are often elderly women & young children.

I want to tell you a story. In 2015, I was in the small Lithuanian city of Panevežys, standing with the locals, watching a military parade. But this was no ordinary parade, because marching alongside the Lithuanian troops were our American allies.🧵1/17

За да си световен хулиган, ти трябват две неща: да имаш сила, с която да парадираш, и да има други, които да ти се подчинят. Могат ли САЩ и Русия да решат съдбата на Украйна, без да се занимават с Европа - просто да я подчинят на своята воля, докато разпределят територията и ресурсите на Украйна?

How can we know that Trump works for Putin?
1. He calls democratically-elected Zelensky a dictator, but he has never called true dictator Putin that.
2. He calls for elections in Ukraine, but not in Russia.
3. He wants to impoverish Ukraine & enrich Russia, etc.
