NATO secretary general: Russia may attack NATO within five years

Russia is building up its military capabilities and will be ready to use military force against NATO states within five years. Source: European Pravda; NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte during a speech at Chatham House in London on 9 June Quote: "Russia could be ready to use military force against NATO within five years. Russia has teamed up with China, North Korea and Iran. They are expanding their militaries and their capabilities. Putin's war machine is speeding up, not slowing down. Russia is reconstituting its forces with Chinese technology and producing more weapons faster than we thought," Rutte explained. The NATO secretary general said that Russia produces as many munitions in three months as all NATO countries produce in a year. "And its defence industrial base is expected to roll out 1,500 tanks, 3,000 armoured vehicles and 200 Iskander missiles this year alone. Let's not kid ourselves. We are all on the eastern flank now. The new generation of Russian missiles travel at many times the speed of sound. The distance between European capitals is only a matter of minutes. There is no longer east or west. There is just NATO," Rutte said. Background: Andrius Kubilius, European Commissioner for Defence and Space, shared the assessment of Western intelligence that a Russian attack on EU states could occur within the next few years. The German Federal Intelligence Service believes that Russia sees itself in a systemic conflict with the West and is preparing for a major war with NATO. Support Ukrainska Pravda on Patreon!

Russia sentences 2 Azov fighters to over 20 years in prison

A Russian court has sentenced two Ukrainian soldiers of the Azov Brigade to more than 20 years in prison for allegedly killing civilians in the city of Mariupol in Ukraine's Donetsk Oblast, Russia's Investigative Committee announced on June 9 on Telegram. Russia has held a number of sham trials with Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs) over the past years, focusing in particular on Azov fighters captured during the war. Azov has been demonized by Russian propaganda for years. Russian authorities accuse sniper Ruslan Orlov and paramedic Artem Novikov of shooting three civilians in Mariupol in April 2022. The Russian court sentenced Orlov to 26 years in a strict regime colony, and Novikov to 24 years. Ukraine has not yet commented on the Russian Investigative Committee's statement. Russia's months-long siege of Mariupol between February and May 2022 reduced the port city to a landscape of rubble and killed thousands. In the meantime, the Azovstal Steel Plant in Mariupol became a symbol of Ukrainian resistance at the onset of the all-out war, as Ukrainian soldiers valiantly defended the plant under the Russian siege. On May 16, 2022, Azovstal defenders were ordered to surrender to the encircling Russian forces after nearly two months of constant bombardment of the besieged plant. The evacuation from Azovstal ended on May 20, 2022, with Ukrainian soldiers transferred to a penal colony in Russian-occupied Olenivka, Donetsk Oblast, now infamous as the site of the mass killing of Azov fighters. On July 28, an explosion killed 54 Ukrainian prisoners of war and injured over 150 at the Olenivka penal colony. Many of them were members of Azov. While hundreds of Azov fighters have been released since 2022, hundreds more remain in captivity.

Israel delivered Patriot systems to Ukraine

Patriot air defence systems that previously protected Israel's airspace have been deployed in Ukraine. Source: Israeli Ambassador to Ukraine Michael Brodsky in an interview with Ukrainian journalist Mariia Dovbenko, as reported by Mezha Media, a technology and IT news platform within Ukrainska Pravda's holding company Quote from Brodsky: "There is a system very well known here in Ukraine – the Patriot system – which once saved us in the early 1990s during the first Gulf War. Back then, we received Patriot systems from the United States. And, by the way, these systems are now in Ukraine. These are Israeli systems that were in service in Israel in the early 1990s. We agreed to transfer them to Ukraine. Unfortunately, this has not been widely discussed, but when people say that Israel hasn't provided military aid, that's not true." Details: In May 2024, it was reported that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) would stop using the American-made Patriot air defence systems. They are being replaced by systems based on more advanced technologies. Ukraine has repeatedly appealed to its partners for Patriot systems to defend against large-scale Russian attacks. These systems have proven highly effective, particularly in intercepting Russian Kinzhal hypersonic missiles. In May 2023, a Patriot system successfully intercepted the first Kinzhal missile over Kyiv – a turning point in Ukraine's defence against this type of Russian weapon. The effective use of Patriots strengthened the air defence of Ukrainian cities. However, Ukraine still faces a shortage of such systems. Background: In April 2025, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine was ready to purchase 10 Patriot systems from the United States for US$15 billion, with European partners willing to support the financing. In May 2025, The New York Times reported that a Patriot system previously based in Israel would be sent to Ukraine after undergoing modernisation. Support Ukrainska Pravda on Patreon!
