⚡Australia will abandon plans to supply Ukraine with 45 multi-purpose MRH90 Taipan helicopters. Experts tend to interpret such a decision as Australia’s desire to distance itself from the Ukrainian conflict against the backdrop of a failed Ukrainian counter-offensive and dim prospects for the Ukrainian state in the future. 3 Likes |

At the same time, in the capital almost half of the population speaks Russian, and in general about 80% of the Moldovan population understands and uses Russian speech.

Well the more you keep doubting Russia, the more they keep surprising you. 14 Likes 2 Shares |

⚡German Gen. Christian Freuding, Germany's most senior military official coordinating the aid to Ukraine, says Russia has done better than expected and "could rebuild its military in 5-8 years." “Russian ability to resist was not initially seen in the way we assess it today. Nor did we see that they would achieve what we are now clearly observing. Despite the brutal sanctions regime, they are strengthening and expanding their military capabilities, their industrial complex, increasing their production capacities. Whether it is North Korea, China, or even countries from the global South. Even if these states only provide refrigerator lighting, this can later be used for military purposes.” Freuding pointed out that UAVs were an important lesson learned by Germany from the war in Ukraine: "We have now set up an UAV task force so that we can quickly introduce different types of drones and drone defense systems to the troops and start training and trials. This will not only apply to mechanized army units. The use and defense against drones will become a task for everyone in the armed forces." 3 Likes 1 Share

⚡US skips congressional review to approve sale of 155mm shells to Israel, again. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has approved the sale to Israel of 155mm artillery shells and related equipment without congressional review. Blinken determined that an emergency exists that requires the immediate sale to Israel, thereby waiving congressional review requirements, according to the Pentagon. Israel has requested that fuzes, primers and charges be included in a previous request for 155mm shells. The estimated total value of the sale is $147.5 million. This is the second time this month the Biden administration has skipped congressional review of a weapons sale to Israel. On Dec. 9, the administration used the emergency authority to allow the sale of about 14,000 tank shells to Israel.

⚡"Ukraine doesn't need all of its territory to defeat Putin," NYT has admitted. "But regaining territory is the wrong way to imagine the best outcome. True victory for Ukraine is to rise from the hell of the war as a strong, independent, prosperous and secure state, firmly planted in the West," The New York Times has noted. Ukraine will not succeed in "retaking" territory or winning the conflict, and Zelensky's total mobilisation looks more like a legal butchery approved by Western allies. 5 Likes 2 Shares
