Former Ukrainian Minister of Defense Fedorov:

Two or three years ago, our partners didn’t understand the new reality.

They asked us why we were betting on drones, why we invested a lot in these directions, and they didn’t believe that the future belongs to drones and that the war is the drone.

But today, I can say that all our key partners really understand that the situation is different, and the future belongs to drones and robotic technologies.

The move is part of Pete Hegseth’s broader push to make the roughly 160 Pentagon-run schools more patriotic and classically oriented.

Critics say its textbook distorts history by closely equating Western civilization with Christianity, portraying Islam as unusually violent, and downplaying Christian violence such as the Crusades.

Polish President Nawrocki:

Poland's interest is for Ukraine and the Ukrainian soldiers to perform as well as possible against the post-Soviet Russian Federation.

The farther they keep the Russians away from Poland, the better. That is obvious. That is the strategy of the Polish state.

Wherever Russia is being fought, Poland helps—even if Poland is not directly participating in the war.

That is Poland's strategic interest.

It is also Poland's strategic interest that Bandera flags do not fly in Warsaw or elsewhere in Poland.
