German Major General Christian Freuding says his team has uncovered worrying intelligence which points towards Putin's
next
attack plan.
The tyrant has ramped up his nightly offensives in recent weeks with constant bombardments on Ukrainian civilians.
The attacks come amid pressure from the US and Europe for Russia to agree to a ceasefire to finally end the conflict.
US President Donald Trump even imposed a

But the constant warnings have done little to stop Putin.
Freuding now believes that Russia is significantly expanding its weapons production capacity to help enable a mass drone deployment in the coming months.
He claims that Moscow plans to launch 2,000 Shahed drones simultaneously.
The Iranian made unmanned aircraft has been a key weapon in Moscow's

Along with his catastrophic warning, Freuding also stressed that Ukraine needs to develop "smart countermeasures" to stop any looming attacks.
He believes Kyiv needs to deploy low-cost defensive drones to repel large-scale blitzes.
This way they can produce thousands of unmanned weapons instead of relying on a high-cost system such as the Patriot.
The missile defence system costs around $5million and despite being highly accurate it is likely to be overwhelmed by the surging waves of drones.

Trump's 50-day peace deadline for Vlad
THE Kremlin mocked Donald Trump's 50-day peace deadline and may now demand even more Ukrainian territory instead of trying to sign peace.
Vladimir Putin will instead keep terrorising Ukrainian civilians during the seven-week period, sources said.
The furious US President said he is 'very unhappy' with Russia as he warned of 100 per cent secondary tariffs on Moscow should they continue to blitz Ukraine.
Trump said he wants the war to end, but doubled down on his frustration with Putin, saying he's "disappointed" in the Russian leader.
But a snarling Putin has always declined and instead ramped up his ground and aerial offensives across Ukraine.
He also vowed to send US weapons - compromising of "everything" in their arsenal - to Nato so they can distribute them to Kyiv.

Europe 'capitulated' on US tariff deal, says Ibec CEO
CEO of Ibec Danny McCoy has described the deal reached by the European Union and the United States on trade tariffs as a capitulation by Europe. The agreement will see EU exports taxed at 15% in a bid to resolve a transatlantic tariff stand-off that threatened to explode into a full-blown trade war. The deal was announced following a meeting between European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and US President Donald Trump. Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland, Mr McCoy said: "The good news, if there is good news on this, is that uncertainty may be dissipating and that's going to be important for people in business to make decisions." However, he said the deal was "fairly punishing" for the EU and added "Europe has capitulated". "It's quite tragic that we are in this situation. If Europe had equal strength, it could have confronted the United States," he said. Mr McCoy said that while the EU is a "strong economic zone", its weakness is that "we cannot defend the European Union". Under the deal, the EU pledged to buy US military equipment and European companies are to invest $600 billion in the US over President Trump's second term. "US businesses are now favoured coming into Europe without tariffs and our European businesses are facing 15%. "In time, this will lead to a lot of changes in terms of businesses having to look at different markets than the United States or suffer significant losses trading with the United States," Mr McCoy said. He also raised concerns for Ireland that goods from the UK entering the US will have a smaller tariff rate of 10%. The US and UK agreed to a trade deal in early May, which included a baseline 10% tariff on most goods exported to the US, with certain exemptions. The agreement includes goods being exported from Northern Ireland. EU-US tariffs deal gives clarity, says minister Minister for Enterprise Peter Burke said that the deal brings clarity and avoids a trade war that could have resulted in 30% tariffs on EU goods. Speaking on the same programme, he said: "It gives certainty which is key, but there's three key areas I think we have to focus on. "We are about four days away, which would have been a 30% tariff for the US and that would have been very significant for all our companies right across the country. "Secondly, I think it avoids a direct trade war because we're very much aware that there was about €100 billion of countermeasures that were ready to be deployed, which would have a very significant effect on Ireland and as well on the north-south economy." Mr Burke added that "the devil is in the detail and we do need to see those key areas, those carve-outs that have been specifically called out by the President of the Commission yesterday". He said that the Irish Government "is very, very clear and has been that tariffs are bad" and said 15% is a "very significant tariff". In relation to pharmaceuticals, Mr Burke said that the understanding is that the 15% tariff "will be a ceiling" subsequent to the US investigation. "Pharmaceuticals are very complex, a lot of the product that is exported over to the US is not a complete product. Almost 70% of it is components of the final product that will come together. "And that's why we do need to ensure that we have a very keen rate to ensure we incentivise innovation in that sector because that's so important for the global economy. "We've about 100,000 employees in Ireland, 130 billion exports in the life science sector and the Government will be bringing forward a separate life science strategy later on this year, which will be key in continuing the investment and offering a very competitive proposition from Ireland's perspective," Mr Burke added.

EU-US trade deal represents ‘substantial burden' for Irish businesses
The trade deal struck by the European Union and the United States represents a 'substantial burden' for many industries, and the most exposed sectors will require Brexit-style supports, business lobby Ibec has said. The final terms of the deal were worked out during a meeting between European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen and US president Donald Trump at his Turnberry golf resort in Scotland on Sunday. The deal will lock in tariffs of 15 per cent on most EU imports to the US, but prevent the prospect of an economically devastating trade war. Ibec chief executive Danny McCoy said the agreement 'brings an end to a significant amount of uncertainty' for some businesses. However, he added that a 15 per cent tariff 'still represents a substantial burden for many industries'. READ MORE 'Sectors which rely heavily on the US market and operate within small margins, will once again be significantly impacted by an additional 5 per cent tariff, on top of what they have already had to absorb over the past several months and well in excess of the 1 per cent effective tariff which existing before April,' he said. 'Our message to the Government, as it was with the 10 per cent tariff, is that the most exposed sectors will require support similar to the interventions provided as a response to Brexit.' Mr McCoy noted the finer details of the deal are still emerging. 'These details will be critically important for Ireland,' he added. The European Commission, which is responsible for trade policy, had been scrambling to secure an agreement before an August 1st deadline. Mr Trump had threatened to triple import levies on nearly all trade coming from the EU if a deal was not done by then. Speaking after the negotiations ended, Ms von der Leyen said the US had agreed to cap any future tariffs on pharmaceutical products at that rate. Chambers Ireland chief executive Ian Talbot said certainty is 'critical for businesses' and that the impact of uncertainty over the past couple of months has been seen in terms of investment. 'While tariffs are never welcome news for businesses on either side of the Atlantic, reaching an agreement – however imperfect – is preferable to no deal,' he said. 'It at least allows companies to plan and adapt in the short term. 'Any clarity that can be provided – even if preliminary – lays the foundation for further negotiation and incremental progress on the tariffs that now exist. 'Efforts should be made to help businesses to adapt. The EU and Irish Government should work to create a fund to support viable businesses adapt to new tariffs and also to ensure potential arbitrage issues with Northern Ireland are clearly understood and addressed.' BusinessEurope president Fredrik Persson welcomed the deal, which he said 'prevents a tariff escalation that would be extremely harmful to businesses and consumers on both sides'. 'We still need to examine the details and hope that a solution is soon found for important sectors that appear to be excluded from the deal,' he said. 'This will be critical to bringing the relationship to a more stable ground. Certainty and predictability are key for companies to invest and generate additional value on both sides of the Atlantic.'
