Images showing weapons mounted on Russian-linked vessels in the Baltic Sea are raising concerns about how sanctions are enforced.

wiredgorilla — Wed, 01 Jul 2026 08:29:05 +0000

Ukraine is set to strengthen its air force with Sweden’s Gripen fighter jets in a major defence deal that could reshape the air war against Russia. Kyiv will receive new Gripen E fighters along with older Gripen aircraft as part of a multi-billion-dollar agreement backed by European funding.
