🇫🇷 France, backed by Germany and the UK, is pushing for a NATO AI Centre of Excellence in Rennes, potentially opening in 2027.

🇵🇱 Poland has a strong case for hosting a NATO AI Centre of Excellence. The initiative, launched by the SET Foundation and backed by Polish defence experts, builds on the country’s experience hosting two NATO centres.
But the stakes go beyond prestige: the host could help shape NATO’s AI doctrine, technological standards, military training and future operational capabilities.
🇦🇱 Protests erupted in Tirana as demonstrators rallied against alleged government corruption, unemployment and poor education standards. Protesters set fire to chairs placed outside PM Edi Rama’s office as a gesture inviting dialogue, hours after he announced measures to curb the unrest.

🗳️ Elections are underway in the Balkans.
🇧🇬 Bulgarians are voting in presidential elections amid growing security concerns over Russia’s war in Ukraine, while 🇷🇸 Serbia holds snap parliamentary elections as student-led anti-corruption protests challenge President Aleksandar Vučić’s decade-long rule.

🇰🇼 Kuwait’s defence depends on more than modern fighter jets and air defence systems. Spare parts, maintenance and external support are vital to military readiness during a regional crisis, while protecting oil exports and supply chains remains essential to national resilience.

🇫🇷 Nearly 1,000 people were arrested during mass protests across France on Saturday. Despite largely peaceful rallies, clashes broke out in several cities, with police using tear gas and water cannons in Paris, while barricades were set ablaze in Marseille and a shop was damaged in Bordeaux. #France #Protests #Security
🇷🇺 Russia may face major cuts to its combat aviation fleet after the war, regardless of how it ends. Several aircraft types will have to be retired, reducing Moscow’s combat capabilities, at least on paper. ✈️
