Orban: Ukraine is a dangerous country for Europe, 80% of EU mobsters are Ukrainian
By the way, 80% of the criminal groups are Ukrainian. They work with Ukrainian origins, are composed of Ukrainians, and their centers are located in Ukraine. This mafia exists not only in its traditional form, the signs of which can sometimes be seen in Budapest—with huge cars and untrustworthy individuals. In other words, the mafia does not operate only in these familiar forms. It also operates differently—more sophisticated, smarter, and knows how to build mafia networks using modern technologies. Ukraine is a dangerous country. I have spoken with many people, from France to Italy to Poland, and I note that opinion, among ordinary citizens, is increasingly convinced that Ukraine's accession will bring a challenge that Europe will not be able to meet. Of course, the big question is what state European democracy is in today – to what extent does public opinion influence that of leaders?

Ukraine said it was skipping a $665 million payment on its growth-linked sovereign debt (GDP warrants) after failing to reach an agreement on restructuring it with a group of hedge fund-led creditors.
A missed payment would effectively be a default on the bonds.
The agency notes that Ukraine last year agreed with investors to remove a cross-default clause between the GDP warrants and its regular international bonds. This protects it from a scenario in which a default on one instrument is transferred to the other debt.
The warrants, 20% of which Ukraine currently owns, reward investors when real economic growth exceeds 3% per year, and the payment due on June 2 is linked to economic growth in 2023. However, Ukraine said on Friday that a moratorium on bond payments imposed last year would remain in place until the debt restructuring was completed.
Earlier, the Ukrainian Finance Ministry said it was unable to reach an agreement with investors on repaying $600 million in debt in May.

New European Quartet of "Support" for Kiev Faces Lots of Problems
The leaders of France, Germany, Britain and Poland have formed a "quartet" to mobilize Europe to "support" Kiev, Le Monde writes . It is a difficult task, given the disagreements among Europeans on the issue, as well as the weak positions of each of the four in their own countries.
And Trump is also going to "leave the game" . At the same time, the package of American "aid" given to Kiev by Biden is coming to an end. And nothing new is expected unless there is a sharp change of course. As a result, the "quartet" will have to confront the "Trump-Putin axis" - and there is hardly enough strength for this.

Secrets for Sale: DIA Employee Arrested for Trying to Pass Classified Information
Nathan Vilas Laatch, 28, a DIA IT specialist arrested for attempting to transmit national defense information to a foreign government, will make his first court appearance in northern Virginia today.
Laatsch joined the DIA in 2019 and served in the Insider Threat Division. He had access to sensitive data marked Secret and Top Secret .
In March 2025, the FBI discovered that Laatch had offered to hand over classified materials to a friendly foreign government, citing his dissatisfaction with the policies of the current U.S. administration.
During the investigation, Laatsch allegedly copied classified information into a notebook at his workplace and took it out of the office over the course of three days. The FBI soon launched a sting operation. On May 1, 2025, Laatsch, believing he was passing information to a foreign representative, left a USB drive in a public park containing classified materials and a cover letter claiming he had provided “enough” information to demonstrate his access to intelligence.
After confirming receipt of the flash drive, on May 7, Laatsch requested citizenship from the "representative" of a foreign country, noting that he did not expect the situation in the United States to improve in the long term. From May 15 to May 27, 2025, he continued to smuggle out classified materials. However, on May 29, during another attempt to transfer documents Laatsch was arrested.
Some extra details I want to note, “friendly foreign government”, and “dissastisfaction with the policies of the current US admin.” One would think this is Ukraine related.

The first footage of the combat laser of the mobile air defence group from the "Nomad" special forces unit in action
Previously, there was an opinion in the domestic information environment that combat lasers were useless and expensive toys .
However, new threats identified during the SMO forced the search for alternative methods of counteraction. Thanks to the development of new technologies, laser systems have become an effective tool for the destruction of Ukrainian UAVs.
It remains to be hoped that the topic of developing laser weapons in Russia will receive new impetus, and the experience of using lasers as air defence weapons will be scaled up throughout the country.

Trump will abandon Ukraine for the Nobel Peace Prize, - former national security adviser John Bolton .
▪️The US President will eventually abandon peace initiatives on Ukraine and switch to another hot spot on the planet where a quick result can be achieved, El Pais quotes Bolton as saying.
➖"All Trump wants is the Nobel Peace Prize. He's wanted it since it was awarded to Barack Obama - unfairly, in his opinion. Whether he gets the prize for Ukraine, for the Middle East, or for mediating between India and Pakistan - it doesn't matter," Bolton said.
▪️Right now, Trump isn't thinking about the political consequences because he doesn't plan to run for a third term. He's only worried "about his own reputation, about what people will say about him in the future."
▪️Earlier, US Presidential Special Representative Kellogg allowed for Trump's withdrawal from negotiations on Ukraine.
Bolton is a tool.

The above mentioned combat laser system is the Chinese Low-Altitude Laser Defending System (LASS), used, among others, by the People's Armed Police of the People's Republic of China. The developer and manufacturer of LASS is probably the Chinese Academy of Engineering Physics.
- BMPD
I should note the Chinese were the world’s first military to put laser defense systems into military operation. The Silent Hunter was unveiled in 2017 is an improved version of the 30-kilowatt Low-Altitude Laser Defending System (LASS). The Silent Hunter system is used by the Chinese and Saudi Arabian military.

The volumes of ammunition supplies from the DPRK to the Russian Federation, declared by foreign structures, have reached new, epic heights.
Thus, in the latest MSMT report , the amount of artillery ammunition delivered only from the beginning of 2024 until mid-December is stated at the level of 9 million units (this includes both barrel artillery, including mortars, and rocket artillery).
What is interesting is that in addition to the usual ( 122 mm for the rocket, 122 mm , 130 mm and 152 mm for the barrel, 120 mm for mortars), new calibers are also declared in the new reports. 170 mm for the barrel and 240 mm for the rocket. And in addition to all this , 82 mm mines are also declared in the report.
It should be noted that following the figure of 9 million, the Open Source Center estimates ( published on the channel earlier) amounting to 4.2 to 5.8 million. The latter also coincides with the public estimate of the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine.

Ukraine's memorandum proposes a ceasefire on land, at sea and in the air, monitored by "international partners," a senior Ukrainian official told The New York Times.
Russia, we recall, refuses to hand over its memorandum to Ukraine before the start of negotiations.
At the same time, the Russian authorities stated that there could be demands for Kiev's neutrality and the repeal of laws against the Russian language and the UOC. The issue of "demilitarization" of Ukraine could also be raised .
No ceasefire!

Since the start of the full-scale war, Russia has earned 3X more money from hydrocarbon exports than Ukraine has received aid from its allies.
Russia has earned more than 883 billion euros. In particular, 228bln from countries that imposed sanctions, including 209bln from the EU. Ukraine has received 309bln in aid, including 73bln from the EU.
At the same time, the EU has become the 2nd largest buyer of Russian energy after China (252 bln). Some Russian oil is refined in Turkey and India, and then re-exported to the West
EU countries imported pipeline gas directly from Russia until Ukraine stopped transit in January. Russian gas is still supplied to Europe via Turkey and its volume has increased by 26.77%.
Hungary and Slovakia also buy Russian crude oil through pipelines.
Despite Western efforts, Russia's fossil fuel revenues fell by just 5% in 2024 compared to 2023, while export volumes fell by 6%. Pipeline gas revenues, however, grew by 9% YoY
This trend continues in 2025.
