Ukraine leading war on drone fight with over 1000 missions per day wiping out soldiers and anything of military value. The last moments of this Russian soldier in glorious technicolour.

It's almost Playstation like - well it would be but the Playstation is much harder.
Now Orban is gone, there is no one to block the $90bn EU loan to Ukraine.

Russia's federal budget deficit blows past annual target in just 3 months.
Russia’s federal budget deficit surged past its full-year target in the first three months of 2026, underscored by a sharp decline in energy tax receipts and a double-digit spike in government spending.
According to Finance Ministry data released Wednesday, the deficit reached 4.6 trillion rubles ($58.8 billion) in the first quarter, already eclipsing the 3.8 trillion ruble ($48.6 billion) gap originally projected for the entire year.
The shortfall represents a staggering 2.6 trillion ruble increase over the deficit recorded during the same period in 2025.
