RUSSIA PERSPECTIVE

TASS reports Poland creating a 'drone armada' with Ukraine's support — framed as NATO escalation — and Moldova assembling electronic warfare systems for Ukraine at the risk of becoming a party to the conflict. RT picks up Kim Jong-un's 'sacred war' framing to justify North Korean support, and reports Germany spent €111 billion on rearmament since the Ukraine escalation. RT notes Merz suggests Ukraine may need to accept territorial losses to open the path to EU membership — an angle that serves Russia's narrative of a Europe resigning itself to the situation.
