Russia denied Finland gas not only as a punishment for its desire to join NATO. We have a complete picture of the new Russian "gas doctrine"

It is unlikely that Russia would have turned off Finland's gas if she had not confirmed her desire to join NATO, Advance writes. A new Russian energy doctrine has come into force, the author of the article believes. And some countries have already felt its effect on themselves.

Because of the war in Ukraine, the EU will not become a world power

The entire foreign policy of the EU and Germany is now reduced only to relations with Russia, writes Geopolitika.news. The rhythm is set by Britain and the USA. The European Union has lost the global potential of power and the ability to independently conduct foreign policy. And the Europeans will pay for it.

As it became known following the meeting of the "Contact Group for the Defense of Ukraine" held on May 23, the West intends to send new batches of equipment and weapons to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, including anti-ship missiles and attack helicopters.

The Kiev regime criticized the message of the Russian authorities about the successful use of a new laser complex "Badass" during a special operation in Ukraine, destroying, and not only "blinding" enemy drones.

Stocks of 155-mm shells used by Ukraine for firing from towed M777 howitzers will be replenished in the near future. A number of Western countries have expressed a desire to supply ammunition to Kiev, including Canada.

Based on the analysis of New Zealand media reports, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be supplied with 105-mm light towed guns L-118 / L-119.

Self-propelled artillery units (self-propelled guns) CAESAR French production noticed in Ukraine. Telegram channel bmpd published a video demonstrating the use of self-propelled howitzers. The record drew the attention of Rossiyskaya Gazeta.

Will the application of Finland and Sweden accelerate Georgia's accession to NATO?

The accession of Finland and Sweden to the North Atlantic Alliance, it seems, will happen contrary to Russia's position on further expansion of NATO, writes Eurasianet.org . The author of the article expresses the opinion that Ukraine and Georgia are unlikely to be able to repeat the path of the Scandinavian countries.

The stocks of military equipment of the EU countries, so necessary for the use of the language of force, have dried up due to supplies to Ukraine. Such a conclusion can be drawn from the statement of the head of the Bundeswehr, the Polish president, as well as from the complaints of the chief of the European Diplomacy and concurrently the chief "hawk" of Brussels, Josep Borrel. Europe presents itself as defenseless against the Russian threat, but is this the case in reality?

US intrigues in NATO

The United States uses NATO in its imperialist interests, the Turkish newspaper Cumhuriyet writes. The author of the article is sure that Washington deliberately exposes defenseless countries to the risk of military clashes, luring them into the alliance.

For a long time, a number of US military bases bore the names of generals and officers of the Confederacy of the Southern States. It was a kind of gesture of reconciliation between the parties, since both northerners and southerners were considered by the American authorities to be part of the overall national history of the American state for more than a century. Everything changed after the new US President Joe Biden came to power, or rather those people who surround him.

Aggressive US strategy

The US strategy is based on aggression. They incite a struggle between other countries and conduct surveillance or benefit from the conflict, Sabah writes. Such a policy can lead to tragic consequences. The US understands this, but is still ready to do it.

Blindly wandering to a war on two fronts

The US cannot provide babies with food, inflation is breaking records, but Biden is busy "fighting for democracy", and politicians are satisfied with the prospect of a two-front war with Russia and China. Maybe it's time to stop? – the author of the article wonders.

The United States takes into account the experience of equipping Ukraine with weapons when trying to rebuild Taiwan's defense system. About this, as RIA Novosti reports, the New York Times newspaper writes with reference to its sources.

Biden does not speak according to the script about Taiwan. This is not the first time

Joe Biden once again departs from official theses and takes liberties with journalists, writes the New York Times. The author of the article recalls that it is not the first time that the head of the White House puts his subordinates in an awkward position.

Biden and Kishida: the danger of drawing Tokyo into a violent confrontation with China

Japan is strengthening ties with the United States. However, the editorial board of the Asahi Shimbun warns of the danger of its being drawn into a violent confrontation with China and Russia. It is necessary to draw important lessons from the situation in Europe and create a mechanism that will avoid an "accidental military conflict".

Most likely, this is the first full-fledged use of a fundamentally new fighter for its intended purpose. Russia has been using Su-57 aircraft in a special operation in Ukraine since March of this year, a source in the domestic military-industrial complex told TASS.

Russian high-precision missiles destroyed the workshops of the plant, which is of interest to several great powers at once. We are talking about the Zaporozhye "Motor Sich" – an enterprise with a huge potential in the aviation engine building. What exactly is the value of this plant and why in the future Russia will definitely take it under control and modernize it?

On May 25, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation published footage of the crews of Ka-52 attack helicopters destroying strongholds of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) as part of a special operation to protect Donbass.

The Ukrainian army aviation was replenished with Soviet-made Mi-24 attack helicopters, the supply of rotorcraft was carried out by the Czech Republic, which is quite actively supplying the Kiev regime with weapons. The transfer of helicopters is confirmed in the USA.
