Russia wants to link cut in NATO troops to talks about Ukraine, says Poland
WARSAW (Reuters) -Russia wants to include the topic of a reduction of NATO troops presence in any conversations about the future of Ukraine, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk told reporters on Wednesday. "We are hearing for the past several days that the Russians would very much like to include talks about reducing NATO's presence, for example in Poland, in talks about the future of Ukraine," he said. "That is why it is so important that we build such a strong and united group of states, both in relation to Russia, but also in relation to other allies, like the United States."

Vance: Adversaries are ‘afraid' of US military, and that makes tough talks like Putin possible
Adversaries' fear of the U.S. military is what makes tough negotiations like the one President Donald Trump is scheduled to have with Russian President Vladimir Putin possible, Vice President JD Vance told U.S. troops stationed in England on Wednesday. Vance's comments come as he's spent the past several days meeting with multiple European leaders in preparation for Trump's meeting in Anchorage, Alaska, with Putin in an attempt to end the war between Russia and Ukraine. "You guys make that possible," Vance, a former Marine, told U.S. troops stationed at Royal Air Force Base Fairford. "You guys are the reason why we can go into a negotiation with strength. You guys are the reason why we have leverage in these conversations with world leaders. Because they know that if we cut a deal, it is backed up by the finest fighting force anywhere in the world. And that is what makes your job so important." "The fact that people are impressed by you, the fact that so many people are frankly afraid of you is why we're able to do what we do as an administration," Vance said. Royal Air Force Base Fairford is home to the U.S. Air Force's 501st Combat Support Wing and the 99th Expeditionary Reconnaissance Squadron. It is also paramount for U.S. Air Force operations and serves as Air Force Global Strike Command's preferred bomber forward operating base in Europe. The Air Force routinely sends bomber aircraft to the military base as part of Bomber Task Force Europe 25-2 to train with NATO allies. For example, multiple Air Force B-52H Stratofortress bombers from Fairford participated in an exercise with Germany and Romania over NATO's eastern flank in March 2022 — just after Putin launched his invasion into Ukraine. Roughly 10,000 U.S. troops are based in the U.K., according to foreign policy think-tank Council on Foreign Relations. Vance told troops that he had just wrapped up a call with approximately 30 European leaders, coming on the heels of various meetings with other European allies about Ukraine talks in recent days. A Saturday meeting with representatives of Ukraine and other European allies led to "significant progress" on ending the conflict in Ukraine, a U.S. official told Fox News Digital. More details on the discussions were not available. But Vance said in a Sunday interview that he informed European leaders the U.S. is "done with the funding of the Ukraine war business," and that they must take on more of the burden in resolving the war. "What we said to Europeans is simply, 'First of all, this is in your neck of the woods. This is in your back door. You guys have got to step up and take a bigger role in this thing, and if you care so much about this conflict, you should be willing to play a more direct and a more substantial way in funding this war yourself,'" Vance told Fox News Sunday. Trump told reporters Monday that he'd be able to tell almost instantly if Putin is serious about negotiating a deal or not, and that he'd keep European leaders like Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the loop after the meeting. "If it's a fair deal, I will reveal it to the European Union leaders and the NATO leaders and also to President Zelenskyy," Trump said. "I may say, 'Lots of luck, keep fighting,' or I may say we can make a deal."

Lithuania wants to teach kids as young as 8 years old how to fly drones to counter Russian threats
The Lithuanian government plans to open nine drone training centers across the nation to teach more than 22,000 people — including children as young as eight years old — how to build and fly drones to counter any future threats from Russia. Defense Minister Dovilė Šakalienė touted the plan as a way to bolster the NATO member nation's security in the face of Russian aggression against Eastern Europe, where drone warfare has become the standout method of attack and defense in the modern era. 'We plan that 15,500 adults and 7,000 children will acquire drone control skills by 2028,' Šakalienė said in a statement. 4 Lithuanian Minister for National Defense Dovilė Šakalienė announced a plan to teach 22,000 people, including children, how to build and fly drones to counter Russia. AP 4 Drones have proven to be among the most effective tools for Ukraine's defense against Russia's full-scale invasion. AP Government officials noted that the program will be adapted to different age groups, which begins at the third- and fourth-grade level where students will learn to build and pilot simple drones. High school students will be tasked with learning the full design and manufacturing process of the drone parts as they learn how to fly the FPV drones, the same type as the ones used along the frontlines in Ukraine. The plan to 'expand civil resistance training' is estimated to cost nearly $4 million as Lithuania invests in advanced 'first-person view' (FPV) drones and a mobile app to oversee the training. Šakalienė said that by September, three drone training centers will open in Jonava, Tauragė and Kėdainiai, with six other facilities set to be rolled out in the next three years. 4 Russia has used its own mass drone system to launch ever-escalating bombardments against Ukraine. REUTERS Drones have proven themselves to be the most critical tool for both Ukraine and Russia during the war, which has raged on for more than three years. Moscow has used the UAVs to mount escalating assaults on Ukrainian military and civilian infrastructure, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky touting the same technology for allowing Kyiv to strike deep within Russia. Last month, Russian media celebrated the rollout of what Moscow dubbed the 'world's biggest drone factory,' which saw teens as young as 14 working on an assembly line to construct the Kremlin's killer drones. 4 Russian soldiers prep an attack drone to fly into Ukraine. AP Like the other Baltic nations, Lithuania has become increasingly worried about Russian President Vladimir Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, with many NATO member states preparing for the worst. Both Finland and Sweden have called on their residents to prepare for the possibility of war, issuing new guidance last fall on what to do if a conflict with Russia were to break out. Moscow, in turn, warned that the two nations — which joined NATO in 2022 following Russia's invasion of Ukraine — were viable nuclear targets in the event of war. Tensions soared higher following reports in April that the Kremlin expanded its military bases located just 100 miles from the Finnish border. With Post wires
