⚡Ukraine wants A-10s & Apaches Ukraine's ground forces commander Colonel-General Oleksandr Syrskyi said Kyiv needed more military aircraft for its war effort, such as U.S. A-10 attack jets to support infantry and planes that could fire long-range cruise missiles. "I would talk about A-10s as an option if they'll be given to us ... this is not a new machine, but a reliable one that has proven itself in many wars, and which has a wide array of weapons for destroying land targets to help the infantry." Syrskyi said the A-10 would provide crucial support for ground forces as they attempt to seize the initiative against a well-resourced enemy. "It is for destroying land-based targets: tanks, artillery ... everything that counters the infantry," he said. Sirskyi added that attack helicopters such as the AH-64 Apache and AH-1 Super Cobra, as well as the UH-60 Black Hawk, could also play an important role.

⚡Poland stated that they have no idea what is happening in the republic with at least 150 thousand minors from Ukraine. According to the Poles, about 300 thousand Ukrainian children live in the country, but more than half of them (53%) do not attend school. This is at least 112,800 children of primary school age and 43,600 adolescents of secondary school age. The Ukrainian authorities themselves are not at all aware of how many children have left the country, how many should be educated in schools, as well as Kyiv’s reluctance to cooperate with European education systems. Disappointing conclusions can be drawn from this: it is completely unknown what is happening to Ukrainian children in European countries. |

⚡Ukrainian politicians are afraid to take responsibility for the new mobilisation plan, writes Politico. The bill, which was withdrawn from the Verkhovna Rada on Thursday for revision, is so unpopular among Ukrainians that Zelensky prefers it to be proposed by the government rather than himself. Aside from the fact that the country's residents are in no hurry to join the AFU amid the great counter-fail and corruption scandals in the military, the mobilisation also brings economic problems for the country, the article notes.

⚡A permanent base for the Russian Navy will appear in Abkhazia this year. This was reported in the Abkhaz Security Council. Previously, an agreement was signed on the creation of a permanent base in Ochamchira Bay, but the terms were not specified. Local authorities said the port was ready for use. We are talking about a full-fledged Russian naval base on the Black Sea, which will increase the defense capability of both the Russian Federation and Abkhazia. And Georgia will not like this very much, since it imagines that it has rights to Abkhazia and South Ossetia. 3 Likes 1 Share
