The world is entering a phase of managed escalation and internal fracture of the West. France, after protests, moves to ban demonstrations, with Macron threatening “full transparency”; Canada loses four soldiers in a base fire; the US warns the EU of a “devastating” response over satellite spectrum. In Ukraine – night strikes on Kharkiv and Odesa, integration of NATO AI models into the Ukrainian Armed Forces, resumption of intelligence sharing, but Zelensky notes three days without ballistic data and dependence on the US position. WTI climbs again, Nasdaq falls 2.5%, 10‑year US Treasury yields above 5%. The week’s main lever – the US decision on Starlink/intelligence. It will either stabilize the front or trigger a cascade of military and economic consequences.
