International vessels headed for Ukraine, ready to deliver patriotic supplies
In the global arena, several regions in Russia have reported drone strikes, with the threat posed by US President Trump's warning being debated in Moscow. Meanwhile, the Kremlin has yet to officially respond to Trump's order to relocate nuclear submarines. Reports suggest that these drone strikes have resulted in casualties and explosions following Ukrainian attacks.
Locally, Russia is experiencing counterattacks from Kyiv. However, the article does not provide any new information about the Kremlin's perspective on the threat from Trump's warning or the situation in the Middle East.
Elsewhere, the German Foreign Minister, Johann Wadephul, has assessed the situation in the Middle East. Unfortunately, the article does not provide any details about this assessment or the Israeli government ensuring the supply of Gaza, as previously reported.
On a different note, the cost of solar-plus-storage systems in 2025 varies widely based on system size, type, and location. For residential-scale installations, the combined cost typically falls between approximately $8,000 and $50,000 or more. Solar panels cost between $3,000 and $30,000 depending on capacity and quality, while battery storage systems (usually lithium-ion) range from $5,000 to $20,000 installed, depending on capacity and features.
Residential battery storage systems often price between $10,000 and $20,000, with popular models like Tesla Powerwall offering about 13.5 kWh per unit, which costs roughly $5,000 to $15,000 depending on incentives and integration features. Solar panel installation costs average about $2.75 to $3.25 per watt nationally, meaning a typical 4–6 kW home system costs around $11,000 to $20,000 before incentives.
For larger commercial or utility-scale solar plants with storage, costs differ significantly and can be much higher. Modeling by the Energy Information Administration for 2025 suggests that relying exclusively on solar plus storage for continuous power can lead to electricity costs near $600 per MWh, which is high compared to traditional natural gas plants at $37 per MWh, reflecting the capital intensiveness of solar-plus-storage systems at scale.
Installation complexity, additional equipment like inverters, and potential rebates or tax credits further influence costs, with electrical work adding $1,000 to $5,000 to residential system expenses. Overall, 2025 solar-plus-storage costs reflect continuing improvements in technology and incentives but remain a significant investment for most homeowners.
- The debate in Moscow regarding the threat posed by US President Trump's warning is not limited to war-and-conflicts or local politics, as it also involves the general news about the relocation of nuclear submarines.
- Amidst the ongoing war-and-conflicts in several regions, including Russia, the situation in the Middle East is also a subject of discussion, as evident from German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul's assessment.
