Russia Parcel Bomb Plot Uncovered in NATO State
German federal prosecutors said three Ukrainian nationals have been arrested in Germany and Switzerland for allegedly plotting parcel bomb attacks on behalf of the Russian state.
The three men "declared their willingness to commit arson and explosive attacks on the transport of goods in the Federal Republic of Germany to one or more persons allegedly acting on behalf of Russian state agencies," the prosecutor's office said in a release.
"To this end, the accused were to send parcels from Germany to recipients in Ukraine with explosive or incendiary devices that would ignite during transport."
Russian sabotage is a substantial concern across Europe, particularly among NATO allies such as Germany. Agents of the Russian state have been linked to a number of arson attacks.

Canada to Boost Military Spending to Try to Placate Trump
TORONTO—Canada plans to boost military spending this year, aiming to catch up to its lagging NATO commitments and try to placate President Trump amid sensitive trade talks. Prime Minister Mark Carney said Monday that Canada would spend money on military vehicles, drones, ammunition and sensors to monitor the Arctic. Canada will also give money to Ukraine as part of the package, said a government official. The spending would help Canada meet a North Atlantic Treaty Organization defense budget target of 2% of gross domestic product during this fiscal year, which ends in March.

A NATO member U-turned on buying Black Hawks, suggesting Russia's war shows they aren't the best weapons to focus on
NATO member Poland has put on hold plans to buy 32 Black Hawk helicopters. It suggested that Russia's invasion of Ukraine shows they're not the right weapon to focus on. It's not abandoned helicopters, but they have proven vulnerable in Ukraine. NATO member Poland has postponed its purchase of 32 S-70i Black Hawk helicopters, with military officials there suggesting the way Russia is fighting in Ukraine shows they're not the right equipment for it to focus on. General Wieslaw Kukula, the Polish armed forces chief of staff, said at a Friday press conference that "we have decided to change the priorities of the helicopter programs" in order to "better adapt to the challenges of future warfare," Reuters reported. Poland's deputy defense minister, Pawel Bejda, said on X that his country's military, pilots, and experts were analyzing the geopolitical situation, as well as "the war in Ukraine" and what Russia is buying and equipping its military with. Poland shares a land border with Ukraine. Grzegorz Polak, a spokesman for Poland's Armament Agency, which buys equipment for its military, told Reuters that its priorities needed "some correction" and that it might be necessary to buy other equipment instead of the helicopters, "such as drones, or tanks, or some kind of communication." He also told Polish outlet Defence24 that the armed force's priorities have changed amid evolving threats. Poland, like other European countries, has warned that Russia could attack elsewhere on the continent. Its prime minister, Donald Tusk, warned in March that Russia's big military investments suggest it's readying for a conflict with someone bigger than Ukraine in the next three to four years. Poland is already the highest spender on defense in NATO, as a proportion of its GDP, and has been a major ally of Ukraine throughout the invasion. Helicopters have played a role in Russia's invasion, with both sides using them to counter drones, offer air support, and launch attacks. They were particularly effective for Ukraine against Russia's attempts to seize a key airfield shortly after the invasion began in February 2022, and for Russia during Ukraine's 2023 counteroffensive. But they have also proved vulnerable. The proliferation of air defenses has meant that they, like other aircraft, have had to hang back from frontline fighting more than in past conflicts, making them far less useful. Ukraine's success at taking down Russia's Ka-52 helicopters in 2023 meant Russia started using them less. Many were hit by US-provided M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, or HIMARS. Reports suggest that Russia lost more than 100 helicopters in the first two years of the war. Ukraine has also destroyed some Russian helicopters at bases far from the front lines. Even so, losses could have been higher. Mark Hertling, a former commander of United States Army Europe, told BI in January that Russia has been "very poor" in the way it used helicopters and other air assets, but also that Ukraine's air-defense shortages have protected them. Andrew Curtis, an independent defence and security researcher who spent 35 years as a UK Royal Air Force officer, told BI last year that one lesson Western countries could take from the war is "about the vulnerability of helicopters in the modern battlefield where hiding and seeking is not a child's game, it's a matter of life and death." The S-70i is a variant of the UH-60 Black Hawk made by PZL Mielec, a Polish company owned by the US's Lockheed Martin. Poland's plan to buy them began in 2023, under a previous government. The aim was for the helicopters to be used for combat and logistics, and to work with AH-64E Apache Guardian attack helicopters ordered from the US. Bejda, the deputy defense minister, said the latest move did not involve terminating a contract, as one was never signed. But it has still led to some domestic issues. Mariusz Blaszczak, Poland's former defense minister, described the decision as a disgrace in a post on X, saying it would lead to job losses, delays in replacing the country's helicopter fleet, and a loss of interoperability because Poland's military already uses some Black Hawks. The postponement comes after Poland spent years investing in helicopter technology, including ordering 96 Apache Guardians in a deal signed last year, and 32 Leonardo AW149s in a deal signed in 2022. Bejda said Poland would still prioritize some helicopters, including training and combat helicopters, a heavy transport helicopter, and search and rescue helicopters. But the government, which took office at the end of 2023, clearly views increasing the fleet as less important than investing in other military assets. The war in Ukraine has led Western countries to boost their own defense spending and to change their priorities, including through buying more air defenses and drones, investing more in tanks, and even bringing back old types of training like trench warfare.

Let Trump and Musk ‘fight for a while'
President Trump recently compared the Russo-Ukrainian war to a quarrel between children in a playground. 'Sometimes you see two young children fighting like crazy,' he said. 'They hate each other, and they're fighting in a park, and you try and pull them apart. They don't want to be pulled, sometimes you're better off letting them fight for a while.' The comparison is obscenely inappropriate, of course — reducing Russia's genocidal aggression to 'fighting like crazy' and Ukrainian resistance to complicity in the fisticuffs. To get a sense of how profoundly disturbing the comparison is, apply it to Hitler's 'fight' with Europe's Jews. That said, it's obviously pointless to accuse Trump of historical ignorance or moral obtuseness. Both features define his core of advisors — a cynical analyst might even suggest this is part of their job description. What is less obvious is the fact that the comparison is spot-on with respect to Trump's relations with his newfound frenemy Elon Musk. The Trump-Musk breakup was predictable. The White House isn't big enough for two self-styled geniuses. The form the breakup assumed was equally predictable, at least in retrospect. Mudslinging, slurs and insults are part of each man's rhetorical arsenal. Musk, however, made the most damaging accusation, claiming that Trump was 'in the Epstein files,' a reference to the prominent men named in legal documents linked to Jeffrey Epstein, the high-society millionaire accused of sex-trafficking underage girls for the rich and famous. Like Trump and Vice President JD Vance's coordinated Oval Office ambush of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Trump's spat with Musk made for 'great television.' It also made for dreadful reality. It is deeply worrisome for two of the most powerful men in the world, on whom the fate of billions of people arguably depends, to behave like playground brats. Children shouldn't be running countries, corporations or departments of government efficiency. But again, this observation is nothing new, having been made thousands of times with no appreciable effect. Unfortunately, the world cannot follow Trump's advice with respect to Russia and Ukraine: 'Sometimes you're better off letting them fight for a while.' Russia's genocidal war is no children's quarrel. It can be stopped only if Trump's and Steve Witkoff's good friend Vladimir Putin is made to stop it. Walking away and 'letting them fight for a while' isn't just morally obscene. It's also politically suicidal for the world, the U.S. and Russia included. Allowing nations to gain territory through force would open a Pandora's box of instability and war, which, given America's presence in much of the world, will inevitably drag it in. Encouraging Russia to pursue imperialism in its backyard is to involve Putin's realm in fighting for a very long while. But the world can follow Trump's advice with respect to Trump and Musk. The longer and nastier their relations, the worse for both — and the better for America and the world. The spat has revealed the many cracks in Trump's seemingly monolithic administration. After Musk demonstrates that opposition is possible, these cracks will only multiply and grow larger, thereby hamstringing the White House and preventing it from pursuing its revolutionary agenda at home and its counterproductive foreign policy abroad. One could almost sympathize with Trump's movement supporters, were it not for their complicity in Trump's policies. They thought that their omniscient and omnipotent hero was anointed by none other than God. And instead of behaving like an adult missionary, he's behaving like a frustrated toddler. Alexander J. Motyl is a professor of political science at Rutgers University-Newark. A specialist on Ukraine, Russia and the USSR, and on nationalism, revolutions, empires and theory, he is the author of 10 books of nonfiction, as well as 'Imperial Ends: The Decay, Collapse, and Revival of Empires' and 'Why Empires Reemerge: Imperial Collapse and Imperial Revival in Comparative Perspective.'
