Ukraine says it shot down Russian Su-35 fighter jet
KYIV (Reuters) -Ukraine's air forces shot down a Russian Su-35 fighter jet on Saturday morning, the Ukrainian military said.
"This morning, on June 7, 2025, as a result of a successful Air Force operation in the Kursk direction, a Russian Su-35 fighter jet was shot down," the military said on the Telegram messenger.
It gave no more details. Russian forces have not yet commented on the matter while Reuters could not independently verify the report.
Ukraine's security agency, the SBU, conducted a large drone attack on over 40 Russian military aircraft last week, damaging or destroying tens of Tu-95 and Tu-22 strategic bombers, which Russia uses to fire long-range missiles at Ukraine.

Portugal aims to reach NATO's defence spending goal without harming finances

REUTERS/Rodrigo Antunes/File Photo LISBON (Reuters) -Portugal is preparing a "credible" plan of gradual annual increases in defence spending to reach NATO's new target of 5% of gross domestic product by 2035 without jeopardising its finances, the country's prime minister said on Monday. Luis Montenegro said that despite very large planned defence expenditures, he counted on the economy's ability to create more wealth and on the return from those investments to the rest of the economy. "Portugal wants to make small annual increases that translate into a credible upward trajectory to reach the 5% target by 2035. We will manage it in an appropriate way for state budget execution", he told a conference on defence. At a NATO summit in The Hague three weeks ago, leaders agreed to hike the alliance's defence spending target to 5% over the next decade, with 3.5% dedicated to core defence and 1.5% to dual-use investments, such as infrastructure. The objective will be reassessed in 2029. Montenegro said Portugal and Europe "need to increase their capabilities and Europe needs more strategic autonomy". Portugal needs to boost its maritime and air capacity as it has a huge coastline and one of the largest exclusive economic zones in the world, he said. The Portuguese government said a month ago that it would increase its defence spending to 2% of GDP this year, four years ahead of schedule. "The objective is ambitious, but it's more ambitious in its material execution than in its financial execution", Montenegro said. Among the 32 NATO members, Portugal is one of the countries with the lowest defence spending as a share of economic output. The government estimated that it stood at 4.48 billion euros in 2024, or 1.58% of GDP. Portugal has committed to maintaining budget surpluses in each of the next four years and cutting its public debt ratio, after having a surplus of 0.7% of GDP in 2024.

Romanian government survives no confidence vote and pushes tax hikes through

REUTERS/Yves Herman/File Photo BUCHAREST (Reuters) -Romanian Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan's three-week old coalition government survived a no confidence vote on Monday, allowing it to push through unpopular tax hikes needed to lower the European Union's largest budget deficit. The government has fast-tracked through parliament an increase in value-added tax, excise duties and other levies from August to prevent a ratings downgrade to below investment level and to unblock access to EU funds. The broad coalition of four pro-European parties took power at the end of June, ending months of political deadlock after a presidential election was cancelled in December and was re-run in May. The parties have been reluctant to agree the hikes that have been criticised by employers and unionists while thousands of public sector workers have staged protests. The hard-right opposition filed Monday's no confidence motion and said it will file more. "I understand the opposition does not agree with the measures proposed by the government," Bolojan told lawmakers. "What then are the solutions? On the one hand we are told the problems in the economy are serious, on the other not to take these measures. We can't have both." While all four parties in the government approved the increases, the Social Democrats, the coalition's largest party without which a ruling majority cannot hold, criticised them on Monday. "For solid, continued political support we must quickly correct some of the absurd things from this first package of measures," Social Democrat leader Sorin Grindeanu said. The Social Democrats had supported replacing a flat rate of tax on income with progressive taxation instead of raising VAT, but the other parties did not support that and the tax authority has said it is not equipped to enforce it. Bolojan said earlier this month the coalition government would do everything possible to lower the deficit to around 8% of economic output by year-end from last year's 9.3% - above an initial 7% target - and closer to 6% in 2026. Under Romanian law, the tax measures could be challenged in the constitutional court, and the opposition last week said they would seek to do so. (Reporting by Luiza Ilie; editing by Barbara Lewis)

Germany only has six Patriots left defense minister
US President Donald Trump said earlier that he was ready to supply more air defense systems to Ukraine, but the EU would have to foot the bill Germany has only six US-made Patriot air defense systems available, Defense Minister Boris Pistorius has told the Financial Times. The official added that Berlin could no longer deplete its own stocks to arm Kiev. While Ukraine has received a number of Patriot units since its conflict with Russia escalated in February of 2022, Vladimir Zelensky has been increasingly urging his Western backers to provide more recently. In an interview with the FT published on Sunday, Pistorius said that "we only have six left in Germany," revealing that two of the country's Patriot units had been lent to Poland, while another was unavailable due to maintenance or training. "That's really too few, especially considering the NATO capability goals we have to meet. We definitely can't give any more," the German defense minister stressed. Speaking to reporters on Sunday evening, US President Donald Trump indicated his readiness to supply several Patriots to Ukraine. However, he stopped short of saying whether he was talking about entire air-defense systems or just the missiles for them. "But the European Union is paying for them. We are not paying anything for them... This will be a business for us," Trump emphasized. The comment came shortly after the Pentagon reversed its decision to cut some of its military aid for Kiev. The US president has recently toughened his rhetoric toward his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, accusing him of being unwilling to end the hostilities. Commenting on the Patriot system, valued at around $1 billion per battery, Trump said earlier this month that "it's a shame that we have to spend so much money" on supporting Ukraine. The Russian military claims to have destroyed some of the Western-supplied Patriot air defense systems during the course of the conflict. Moscow has consistently stressed that no amount of Western military aid to Ukraine can change the course of the conflict but only serves to prolong the bloodshed and escalate the hostilities. (
