Ukraine War Attrition Widens as Europe Rethinks Defence
June 2 brought two grinding wars and their mounting bill. Defense Express said Russia now out-produces the US on the missiles and interceptors that decide the air war, hours after a 729-weapon barrage killed 21 in Kyiv and Dnipro, though ISW judged its offensive largely halted. The US opened confidential talks to extend NATO nuclear sharing to Poland and the Baltics, and Britain's John Healey called the Russian threat "real and rising." Iran embraced a "forever war," France said threatened Israeli strikes on Beirut would not go ahead, and the World Bank saw growth slowing to 2.6 percent.
US in confidential talks to expand NATO nuclear sharing beyond its six host states
The United States is holding confidential talks with NATO allies about deploying nuclear weapons in additional European countries beyond the six current host states, the Financial Times reported on June 2, citing three people briefed on the discussions. The talks centre on expanding the dual-capable aircraft program -- allied jets configured to deliver US B61 bombs under Washington's sole authorisation -- with Poland and the Baltic states the most vocal in seeking to host them. Officials cautioned that no agreement is imminent and that the move would cut against the 1997 NATO-Russia Founding Act, under which the alliance pledged not to station nuclear weapons in new member states.
Russia's monthly ballistic-missile output now exceeds US production of the Patriot interceptors Ukraine uses to stop them
Russia is producing roughly 70 ballistic missiles a month for its Iskander and Kinzhal systems -- more than the about 56 PAC-3 MSE interceptors Lockheed Martin builds in the same period -- Defense Express chief editor Oleh Katkov said on Suspilne TV, citing Ukrainian intelligence and Lockheed data. Because intercepting one Iskander typically takes two to three PAC-3s, the effective shortfall is far wider, and Ukraine's air force already calls its interceptor supply a "starvation ration." The arithmetic came into focus hours after a 729-missile-and-drone overnight barrage killed 21 people in Kyiv and Dnipro, with US Patriot stocks further drained by the Iran war.
UK defence secretary tells MPs the Russian threat is 'real and rising,' speeds air-defence aid to Ukraine
Defence Secretary John Healey told the House of Commons that Russia poses a "significant and persistent" threat to the UK and conducts hostile cyber-activity, disinformation and sabotage against NATO allies "almost daily." He said he had ordered UK air-defence deliveries to Ukraine accelerated and would chair this month's 50-nation Ukraine Defence Contact Group at NATO headquarters, telling Vladimir Putin: "we see you; we will expose you." Healey cited past disclosures -- the Russian spy ship Yantar shadowing British undersea infrastructure and a covert submarine programme in UK waters -- and said the public must grasp that the threat is real and rising.
Iran adopts 'forever war' strategy, sees prolonged conflict as preferable to diplomacy
Iran has concluded that prolonged conflict with the United States is preferable to diplomacy, viewing the war as a means to increase its international power and force Washington to reconsider its assumption that Tehran is weak. Tehran has used the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and strikes on Arab states hosting U.S. bases to drive a wedge between Washington and its Gulf partners, while hard-liners now firmly command the country after the collapse of the 2015 nuclear deal and subsequent U.S. bombing campaigns. The Islamic Republic engages in talks only to manage the tempo of conflict and lower international pressure, refusing to make concessions that would diminish its leverage.
