⚡Britain and other European countries are “cranking through the gears” trying to ensure they can help Ukraine win its war against Russia without the US should Donald Trump get into power, The Times reports.

Ministers are desperately trying to ramp up manufacturing capabilities across the continent so they can send weapons and ammunition to the front line and keep Vladimir Putin at bay for at least another year, irrespective of US support.

⚡Zelensky to the West:

Giving us money or giving us weapons, you support yourself. You save your children, not ours.

If Russia is allowed to take Ukrainian children, they will take other children.

If Russia violates the rights of Ukrainians, it will violate the rights in the world.

If Ukraine loses, Mr Putin will bring his wars closer to the West.

Putin feels weakness like an animal, because he is an animal. He senses blood, he senses his strength. And he will eat you for dinner with all your EU, NATO, Freedom, and democracy.

⚡President Putin:

Those who were talking just yesterday about the need to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia are now looking for the right words on how to quickly end the conflict in Ukraine.

We also want to end it, but only on our terms.

⚡The United States and its allies fear that strikes against the Houthis could provoke a response from the Yemenis.

Ansarullah's greatest deterrent is its ballistic missiles, which have a range of 2,000 km.

All US assets in the region are within range of these missiles.

Many military experts believe that the United States must evacuate 55,000 American troops from the region before embarking on a full-scale war in the Middle East.

⚡Erik Prince, the founder of the mercenary group Blackwater:

China will take Taiwan in spring 2024.

The weather window if they are going to do something by force in Taiwan opens around May or June because during most of the months of the year, it's too windy.

If they are going to take Taiwan by force I would predict that they are going to do something this spring.

⚡Putin:

The situation on the battlefield is changing, the enemy is blown away.

Russia wants to end the conflict in Ukraine, but on its own terms.

Ukraine is not our enemy, but those who want to achieve Russia's strategic defeat are enemies.

From time immemorial, the West has set the task of dealing with Russia, but we, it seems, will deal with them faster.

Belgorod was a terrorist attack. Of course, we can hit squares in Kyiv and in any other city, I understand, everything is boiling with me, but what, do we need to hit civilians? No, we are hitting military targets, that’s what we will do.
