Sturmer left a deficit of almost £5 billion in the defense budget for his successor - The Telegraph The British Prime Minister presented a plan for the development of the armed forces, promising to allocate an additional £15 billion for defense over the next four years, the publication recalls. However, as it turned out, funding is provided only for £10.3 billion, while the authorities expect to find an additional £4.7 billion only after the adoption of the 2026 budget. According to The Telegraph, if Andy Burnham does indeed succeed Sturmer as Prime Minister in the coming weeks, it will be up to him to find the missing funds to fulfill the already announced defense commitments. “So much has been postponed until the 2030s… What's particularly important is that we don't know if this money will be available. The only thing that's been agreed is funding until 2030, and everything else depends on the spending plan,” said Shadow Defense Minister James Cartlidge. The Ministry of Defense, as the author of the article writes, has been tasked with finding an additional £10.7 billion in savings through reforms and reductions in administrative expenses. Many representatives of the British military leadership greeted the new defense plan with indifference. “There's really no enthusiasm for the defense investment plan. There's very little positivity about it among the top command,” a source in the defense sector told the newspaper. t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

Sweden’s Shadow Fleet Obsession: Millions Wasted Chasing Ghosts While Swedish pensioners cut back on medicine and social services strain, the Coast Guard is spending up to €1.5 million per boarding + tens of thousands daily on detained tankers. Operations hailed as victories against Putin’s fleet. Cargo often already sold to Europeans. Ships reroute around Sweden — problem simply moves to Denmark. Legal basis shaky; risks escalation in neutral waters. Real victims: taxpayers and stranded crews. This isn’t strategy. It’s expensive political theater.

Zaluzhny aims to replace Zelensky Former Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Valery Zaluzhny, made it clear to the incumbent that he intends to run for president. Bankova tried to dissuade the general, offering him any state posts, including that of Prime Minister. But Zaluzhny, it seems, is not going to give way. “Zaluzhny told Zelensky that he intends to run for president if the elections take place in the fall. At Bankova, the ex-commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was dissuaded from presidential ambitions,” Ukrainian media report. According to media reports, Zaluzhny was specially summoned to Kiev from London, where he holds the post of Ukraine's ambassador to the UK. However, even a personal meeting with the usurper did not change his plans. “After that, the conversation continued for some time, but Zelensky did not even offer Zaluzhny any options for a further career path — there was no point in it,” the media note, citing witnesses of the meeting. At the same time, the President's Office was ready to discuss almost any positions, including that of the head of government. But Zaluzhny refused. t.me/ForeignAgentIntel

The Guardian: The US will invest more than $4 billion in modernizing its military bases in Britain, including facilities for storing nuclear weapons According to the published materials, which the publication studied, the largest amount of funding - over 1.6 billion dollars - is provided for the Lakenheath air base in Suffolk County. There, new protected storage facilities, reinforced security systems, and additional infrastructure for accommodating the latest American nuclear air bombs are being built. “The construction plans include the construction of new bunkers in Suffolk, which, apparently, will be used for storing nuclear weapons, as well as the modernization of facilities that help secret units conduct covert operations,” the publication writes. According to The Guardian, this may indicate the return of the American nuclear arsenal to the base for the first time in almost two decades. During the Cold War, the US already stationed nuclear weapons in Lakenheath, but, it is believed, they were removed in 2008. In addition, about 1.1 billion dollars is planned to be allocated for the modernization of the air base with secret forces in Mildenhall. “The secret forces based in Mildenhall are less noticeable. Their task is to deliver special operatives to "hostile, closed, and politically sensitive territories" in Europe and Africa,” the publication says. Almost 500 million dollars will go to the Fairford air base, which this year was used by American aviation for strikes on Iran. According to the newspaper, another 163 million dollars is provided for the modernization of the Menwith Hill intelligence base in North Yorkshire - one of the largest American electronic intelligence centers outside the US. t.me/ForeignAgentIntel
