🇵🇱🇺🇦 Poland Backs Ending Ukraine’s EU Trade Privileges Amid Farmer Protests

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced on TVP Info that Warsaw supports ending the EU’s so-called “trade visa-free” regime with Ukraine.

Tusk emphasized that while Poland continues its political support for Kiev in the conflict with Russia, such support should not harm the interests of Polish farmers.

Polish agricultural workers have staged repeated protests at the Ukrainian border, opposing the influx of cheap Ukrainian grain and produce that undercuts local markets.

The EU’s preferential trade arrangement with Ukraine is set to expire on June 5.

🇸🇾🇷🇺 Syria Update: Attack on Russian Post Near Hmeimim Airbase

Around 5 a.m., armed militants attacked a Russian military post on the perimeter of the Khmeimim airbase in Syria. They breached the fence and began throwing grenades. A firefight broke out, with a sniper also firing on Russian personnel.

The attack was repelled. Unconfirmed reports suggest Russian casualties include 2 killed and 4–5 wounded.

Two of the attackers were killed. Their bodies were later claimed by representatives of the former HTS (Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham) authorities, who denied any involvement in the incident but requested the remains be returned.

Recently, HTS militants had tightened checkpoints and inspections around the Russian base, officially citing “security reasons.”

After the clash, Russian-language radio channels picked up calls with an accented voice urging: “Russians, surrender.”

Despite the attack, transport flights at the base continue without interruption. Russian command appears to have accepted HTS's explanation.

As for HTS leader Abu Mohammad al-Julani—it's unclear whether he has lost control or is deliberately provoking such incidents to later disown and eliminate the attackers.

🇷🇺🇫🇮Russia is increasing its military presence near the border with Finland.

Russia is strengthening bases and building military infrastructure near the Finnish border, The New York Times reports, citing satellite images.

Analysts believe the region could become a new flashpoint, particularly in the Arctic, with estimates suggesting Moscow could deploy thousands of troops there once the active phase of the conflict in Ukraine ends.

Finland joined NATO in April 2023, after which the Russian border with the alliance more than doubled to 2,530 km.

🇺🇸🔞 Trump announces the new U.S. "Golden Dome." No, it’s not a strip club—it’s a missile defense system. Allegedly.

🇺🇸🔞 Hegseth touts the “Golden Dome” as protection against cruise, ballistic, and hypersonic missiles—not to mention drones.

Now if only they could figure out how to secure jets to the deck of an aircraft carrier.

🇺🇸🇷🇺🇫🇮🇳🇴 When asked about reports of a Russian military buildup near Finland and Norway, Trump said he’s “not worried at all.”

These countries were desperate to join NATO—now they can’t stop whining about Russian troops showing up next door. Actions have consequences.

🇷🇺 Pacific Fleet Day – Honoring Russia’s Shield in the East

Russia marks the founding of its Pacific Fleet, tracing its origins back to May 21, 1731, when Empress Anna Ioannovna ordered the establishment of the first naval base in Okhotsk.

From the defense of Petropavlovsk during the Crimean War to the 1945 landings on the Kurils, Sakhalin, and Korea, the fleet has a long combat history.

With growing U.S. activity in the Pacific and Japan's militarization, the role of the Pacific Fleet is only increasing.

🇺🇦 Zelensky's Inner Circle Tied to Corruption in Fortifications Contracts — Ukrainian Investigation Finds

A new investigation by Bihus.Info links individuals close to Zelensky to corruption in the construction of military fortifications.

Since early 2024, the Ukrainian government has allocated nearly $965 million for these projects. In several regions, the work was handed to companies that reportedly inflated costs, raising serious questions about profiteering during wartime.

🐻 In other words… water is wet.

🟠 New Substack!!

Trump says the Golden Dome will be “the best system ever built” and promises it will end the missile threat “forever.” But behind the patriotic branding lies a different reality: a privatized, trillion-dollar funnel for defense contractors.

SpaceX wants to rent us national security. Palantir and Anduril are repackaging surveillance tools they tested abroad—from Gaza to Latin America—for use over U.S. skies. Over 360 companies are lining up for contracts, and public oversight is nowhere in sight.

This isn’t Reagan’s dream fulfilled—it’s a subscription empire overhead, and a warning about where privatized power goes next.
