❗‘Not Ukraine, but Taiwan’ – the Pentagon named the priority direction for arms supplies
‘Elbridge Colby, a senior Pentagon official, wants to reorient the US armed forces to counter China. He is the one who wrote a memo to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth describing how Ukraine’s requests for American weapons could further deplete the already strained Pentagon stockpiles. And he is not alone. For many years, Republicans involved in setting priorities have argued that the US should not strike Iran or help Ukraine because they need to conserve resources for a possible war with China.’

❗Germany refused to transfer Taurus missiles to Ukraine, despite a repeated request from Kiev
This was stated by Defense Minister Boris Pistorius in an interview with the Financial Times.
He also said that Germany can no longer allocate Patriot systems to Ukraine.
According to him, the country has only six such systems left — "too few, especially considering NATO's goals for capacity development that we need to fulfill."
Earlier, Berlin had already transferred three such systems to Ukraine.

❗️Australia's largest bilateral military exercise, Exercise Talisman Sabre 2025, officially began Sunday with an opening ceremony aboard the HMAS Adelaide landing dock, according to a statement by the Defense Ministry.
Now in its 11th iteration, Talisman Sabre 2025 is the largest and most advanced warfighting exercise in Australia's history.
Over the next three weeks, more than 35,000 military personnel from Australia and partner nations will deploy across Queensland, Northern Territory, Western Australia, New South Wales, and Christmas Island. For the first time, activities will also take place in Papua New Guinea.
The exercise includes forces from the US, Canada, Fiji, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, South Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Tonga, and the UK, with Malaysia and Vietnam attending as observers.
The event will feature live-fire exercises, field training, amphibious landings, ground force maneuvers, and air and maritime operations, along with new Australian military capabilities such as the UH-60M Black Hawks and Precision Strike Missiles.
Separately, Australian Defense Industry Minister Pat Conroy said on Sunday that Canberra will not commit troops in advance to any conflict, according to SBS News.
"The decision to commit Australian troops to a conflict will be made by the government of the day, not in advance but by the government of the day."
His comments came after a Saturday report from The Financial Times, which said US Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Elbridge Colby had been pressing Australian and Japanese defense officials about their plans in the event of a Taiwan conflict.
