EU Bails Zelensky Out After U.S. Blocks Military Aid To Ukraine 

  1. The US has temporarily halted the weapons supply to Ukraine in a move which has stunned the European leaders. 
  2.  The US has also halted a shipment of weapons which was already in Poland’s depots. 

Mark Rutte has stated that while he understands the U.S. decision, he thinks that military aid to Ukraine is now more crucial than ever. 

Brian Fitzpatrick has also asked Donald Trump to hold an emergency Congress meeting in order to brief  US lawmakers about his decision to stop weapons supplies to Ukraine. 

Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha has stated that Ukraine is ready to purchase or lease air defense systems from the U.S. 

Zelensky seems to have changed his approach, from asking for military aid from the U.S. to asking for permission to use European money for weapons purchases.

Fears Of Disaster Brewing For Ukraine As U.S. Halts Weapons Shipments Over  Stockpile Concerns

Ukraine Left in Dark? US Scrambles to Deny Aid Miscommunication as Trump  Freezes New Weapons Package

US Scrambles to Deny Aid Miscommunication as Trump Freezes New Weapons Package


AI OVERVIEW
Yes, there has been a shift in
Ukraine's approach to securing military aid, particularly in the context of changing dynamics with the US,. Due to uncertainties surrounding continued US military assistance, including a recent pause in certain US weapon shipments, Ukraine has begun focusing on a new strategy,. 
Specifically, Ukraine is now requesting permission to use European funds, including potentially leveraging frozen Russian assets, to purchase weapons, particularly from the US,. This approach aims to secure a more consistent flow of weapons and address concerns about the potential impact of reduced direct US aid. 
Key elements of this shift:
  • Focus on European funds: Ukraine is exploring options for European countries to use their own defense budgets or jointly raised funds to acquire necessary weaponry.
  • Leveraging frozen Russian assets: Ukraine has advocated for utilizing frozen Russian assets, estimated to be around $300 billion, to finance arms purchases, particularly from the US,. This proposal would also potentially benefit the US defense industry.
  • Adapting to US policy: The shift reflects Ukraine's understanding of the changing political climate in the US and the potential need to explore alternative funding sources for its defense needs.
  • Joint arms production: Ukraine is also pursuing joint arms production initiatives with European partners, further diversifying its sources of military supplies.

It's important to note that while this new approach is being actively pursued, it faces potential hurdles, including the need for US approval for European purchases of US-made weaponry and ongoing discussions and legal considerations within the EU regarding the use of frozen Russian asset
 

ENTANGLEMENT MANIPULATION

The new research — released on July 2, 2025 in Physical Review Letters—deepens understanding of entanglement's basic properties and provides critical fundamental insight into how to efficiently manipulate entanglement and other in practice.

Entanglement is arguably the central feature of quantum mechanics. 

If two microscopic particles are said to be entangled, then if someone measures a quantum property of one of the particles and then repeats the measurement on its entangled partner, they will always find that the pair is correlated, even when the two particles are separated by vast distances.

Therefore, knowing the state of one particle automatically provides information about the other.

Quantum equivalent of thermodynamics' second law discovered for entanglement manipulation

 

Entanglement battery powers quantum reversibility 

Just over 200 years after French engineer and physicist Sadi Carnot formulated the second law of thermodynamics, an international team of researchers has unveiled an analogous law for the quantum world. This second law of entanglement manipulation proves that, just like heat or energy in an idealized thermodynamics regime, entanglement can be reversibly manipulated, a statement which until now had been heavily contested.

The Running Man | Official Trailer (2025 Movie) - Edgar Wright, Glen Powell

 

Jul 1, 2025 #16 on Trending

Millions Hunt. One Runs. Everyone Watches. Watch the Official Trailer for The #RunningManMovie – Only in theatres November 7 ​In a near-future society, 

The Running Man is the top-rated show on television—a deadly competition where contestants, known as Runners, must survive 30 days while being hunted by professional assassins, with every move broadcast to a bloodthirsty public and each day bringing a greater cash reward. 

Desperate to save his sick daughter, working-class Ben Richards (Glen Powell) is convinced by the show’s charming but ruthless producer, Dan Killian (Josh Brolin), to enter the game as a last resort. But Ben’s defiance, instincts, and grit turn him into an unexpected fan favorite—and a threat to the entire system. 

As ratings skyrocket, so does the danger, and Ben must outwit not just the Hunters, but a nation addicted to watching him fall.

Edgar Wright On The Running Man Trailer: Explosions, Glen Powell In A Towel And Michael Cera Reunion


by Chris Hewitt |
Published on

Edgar Wright is on the run. Not from the authorities, thankfully, but to the editing suite. “I’m going back to work after this call,” he says, as he sits down for a Zoom with Empire long after most people will have clocked off for the day. He’s got a film to complete, after all. And that film is The Running Man, in which Glen Powell stars as a man who becomes a contestant on the deadliest game show in the world. Imagine if The Chase involved actual chasing, and you’re halfway there.

If the title seems familiar, that’s because you may have seen the 1987 movie of the same name, starring one Arnold Schwarzenegger. That was loosely based on the Richard Bachman (aka Stephen King) book of the same name. Wright’s version promises to be much more faithful, and the trailer — out today — promises a typically wild Wrightian ride. Here, he pauses just long enough inbetween lung-busting strides to tell us about some of the trailer’s key moments and images.
