At least four civilians were reported killed and at least 30 injured. https://apnews.com/article/ukraine-russia-missiles-kharkiv-1a36d45089e6014e07af69ca9f88b63f?

Members phkrause Posted January 17 Author Members Share Posted January 17 Secretive surveillance flights keep close watch on Russia and Ukraine As the second anniversary of Russia’s Feb. 24, 2022, invasion of Ukraine nears, The Associated Press obtained rare and exclusive access aboard the giant Airborne Warning and Control System, or AWACS, aircraft. With a powerful radar that rotates six times a minute on top of the planes, three AWACS can survey all of central Europe, NATO says. Read more. Why this matters: Regular surveillance flights, together with fighter patrols, ground-based radar, missile batteries and other hardware at NATO’s disposal, form what the commander of France’s AWACS squadron described as “a shield” against any potential spill-over. The plane’s sustained presence high above eastern Romania — seeing and also being seen by Russian forces — signals how intensely NATO is watching its borders and Russia, ready to act should Russian aggression threaten to extend beyond Ukraine.

8thdaypriest Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Russia wanted the Eastern part of Ukraine with the wheat and the energy. Didn't really care about the rest of Ukraine. But Ukraine will collapse without it's Eastern natural resources. So Ukraine is fighting to get their Eastern area back. So there you have it. It's all about nations positioning themselves in the (soon to arrive) new system, without the USA dominance to maintain open shipping routes. China wants the 60% of the world's transistors (made in Taiwan). All the baloney about saving Russians living in Eastern Ukraine is just a propaganda excuse to TAKE what Russia wants. Same with the propaganda from China about Taiwan being part of China. If Taiwan was just poor fishing villages, China wouldn't care a fig. Half the world is DUMPING dollars as fast as they can do it without collapsing their worth too fast. The USA has reached the END of the dollar as the world's RESERVE CURRENCY. The standard of living for Americans is about to DROP a whopping lot. Quote 8thdaypriest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members phkrause Posted January 23 Author Members Share Posted January 23 The Pentagon has no more money for Ukraine For the first time since Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin established the international group to support Ukraine in April 2022, the United States will host the monthly gathering of about 50 countries out of money, unable to send the ammunition and missiles that Ukraine needs to fend off Russia. Read more. Why this matters: The U.S. will be looking to allies to keep bridging the gap while waiting for Congress to pass a budget and potentially approve more money for Ukraine’s fight. The U.S. has provided Ukraine more than $44.2 billion in security assistance since Russia invaded in February 2022. About $23.6 billion was pulled from existing military stockpiles and almost $19 billion in the form of longer-term military contracts, for items that will take months to procure.

Members phkrause Posted January 25 Author Members Share Posted January 25 Russia says a transport plane has crashed with 65 Ukrainian POWs on board A Russian military transport plane carrying 65 Ukrainian prisoners of war, six crew and three people accompanying them crashed on Wednesday morning in Russia’s Belgorod region near Ukraine, Russia’s Defense Ministry said. Read more. Why this matters: It wasn’t immediately clear what caused the crash, which occurred around 11 a.m. It was also not known if anyone survived. A special military commission was on the way to the crash site, the Defense Ministry said. Ukraine is marking the 700th day since the full-scale invasion by Kremlin’s forces. On Tuesday, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said a major Russian missile attack that apparently was devised to overwhelm Ukraine’s air defenses had killed 18 people and injured 130. Ukraine’s allies have promised to keep sending military aid packages, even though their resources are stretched.

Members phkrause Posted February 9 Author Members Share Posted February 9 🇺🇦 Crunch time for Ukraine Ukrainian soldiers performing a medical evacuation during a field exercise in the Donetsk region on Feb. 3. Photo: Genya Savilov/AFP via Getty Images After a four-month detour for a border deal that died in three days, the Senate voted 67-32 to advance to debate on a $95 billion aid package for Ukraine, Israel and the Indo-Pacific, Axios' Stef Kight reports. The Senate is expected to stay through the weekend to continue working on the bill, with some Republicans opposed to Ukraine aid vowing to make the process as painful as possible. Why it matters: Time is ticking for the Ukrainian military, which is facing a "critical shortage of infantry" and "diminished morale on the front line" in addition to stalled foreign assistance, the Washington Post reports. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky today removed his top general, Valery Zaluzhny, in what amounts to the most significant leadership shakeup since Russia's invasion began two years ago. What they're saying: German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who's visiting the White House next week, warned in the Wall Street Journal that the costs of allowing Ukraine to fall would "dwarf any of the investments that we are making now." Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk was not so subtle, tweeting: "Dear Republican Senators of America. Ronald Reagan, who helped millions of us to win back our freedom and independence, must be turning in his grave today. Shame on you." The GOP's 2008 vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, meanwhile, posted a widely criticized meme of Russian President Vladimir Putin and Tucker Carlson mocking Democrats and the "fake news media."

Members phkrause Posted February 9 Author Members Share Posted February 9 Who is Ukraine’s new army chief appointed by Zelenskyy? Col. Gen. Oleksandr Syrskyi, who had been commander of Ukraine’s ground forces, takes over the head job at a challenging time. With the war poised to enter its third year, morale is low, the military is facing shortages of ammunition and personnel, and Kyiv is struggling to maintain support from the West. Read more. Key points: Syrskyi’s ascension marks the most significant overhaul of Ukraine’s military leadership since Russia’s full-scale invasion on Feb. 24, 2022. Outgoing Gen. Valerii Zaluzhnyi was highly regarded by his troops and by foreign military officials. Some analysts warned that his exit could bring unwelcome disruption, potentially driving a wedge between the Ukrainian army and its politicians. Strains began to appear between Zaluzhnyi and Zelenskyy after the counteroffensive last summer failed to meet its goals. Months after Western allies poured billions of dollars’ worth of military hardware into Ukraine and amid signs of war fatigue, Zaluzhnyi described the conflict as being at a “stalemate,” just as Zelenskyy was arguing in foreign capitals that the new weaponry had been vital.

Members phkrause Posted February 21 Author Members Share Posted February 21 Vladimir Putin waits for Western support for Kyiv to wither The Russian president appears to hope that he can achieve his goals in Ukraine by biding his time while maintaining steady military pressure along the stalemated front line. Read more. Why this matters: Putin’s longer timeline still has its downside, with the conflict taking a heavy toll on Russia by draining its economic and military resources and fueling social tensions. Putin has repeatedly signaled a desire to negotiate an end to the fighting but warned that Russia will hold onto its gains. He used an interview with Tucker Carlson to urge the U.S. to push its “satellite” Ukraine into peace talks, declaring that “sooner or later, we will come to an agreement.” Recent developments have fed his optimism, including that U.S. aid for Ukraine remains stuck in Congress, along with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s dismissal of his military chief and Donald Trump saying he could allow Russia to expand its aggression in Europe if NATO members fail to raise defense spending.

Members phkrause Posted February 25 Author Members Share Posted February 25 🇺🇦 Ukraine's best hope in '24: Limit losses Data: Institute for the Study of War and AEI's Critical Threats Project. Map: Axios Visuals Ukraine's best hope for year three of Russia's invasion may be to avoid losing additional territory — and some military analysts question whether even that will be achievable without urgent help from Washington, Axios' Dave Lawler writes. Why it matters: The war — which crosses the two-year mark tomorrow — has devolved into a deadly stalemate that could tilt in Russia's favor. Ukrainian hopes for a decisive breakthrough were dashed in 2023. Russia now has clear manpower and firepower advantages. "It seems unlikely that there will be resources for another major Ukrainian offensive this year," says Michael Kofman, a leading analyst of the war and Carnegie Endowment senior fellow. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, whose rhetoric about the war has grown increasingly dire, warned in a visit to the front this week that his forces were in an "extremely difficult" position due to "delays" in weapons supplies. 🪖 Between the lines: Ukraine can still hope to "hold and potentially exhaust" Russia's forces this year — but only with sufficient support from Western backers, Kofman says. With the House deadlocked over further Ukraine funding, and a potential Trump presidency looming, Kofman believes the question of whether U.S. support endures may decide the outcome of the war.

Members phkrause Posted February 27 Author Members Share Posted February 27 🪖 How the CIA secretly helps Ukraine In a stunning exposé, Adam Entous and Michael Schwirtz of The New York Times show how a decade-long partnership between the CIA and Ukraine underpins the war with Russia. The Times was given a tour of a secret bunker in a dense Ukrainian forest. Why it matters: The partnership turned Ukraine into one of America's most valued intelligence partners against the Kremlin. The CIA "helped train a new generation of Ukrainian spies who operated inside Russia, across Europe, and in Cuba and other places where the Russians have a large presence," The Times found. "In the bunker," Gen. Serhii Dvoretskiy, a top Ukrainian intelligence commander, "pointed to communications equipment and large computer servers, some of which were financed by the CIA. He said his teams were using the base to hack into the Russian military's secure communications networks," The Times reports. "This is the thing that breaks into satellites and decodes secret conversations," Dvoretskiy told a Times journalist on the tour, adding that they also were hacking into spy satellites from China and Belarus. "Another officer placed two recently produced maps on a table, as evidence of how Ukraine is tracking Russian activity around the world": "The first showed the overhead routes of Russian spy satellites traveling over central Ukraine. The second showed how Russian spy satellites are passing over strategic military installations — including a nuclear weapons facility — in the eastern and central United States."

Members phkrause Posted February 29 Author Members Share Posted February 29 Yellen is urging world leaders to ‘unlock’ frozen Russian assets and send them to Ukraine Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is offering her strongest public support yet for the idea of liquidating roughly $300 billion in frozen Russian Central Bank assets and using them for Ukraine’s long-term reconstruction. Read more. Why this matters: Billions of dollars in Russian foreign holdings have been frozen by the United States and its allies in retaliation for Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine. Those billions have been sitting untapped as the war grinds on, now in its third year, while officials from multiple countries have debated the legality of sending the money to Ukraine. The idea of using Russia’s frozen assets has gained traction lately as funding for Ukraine becomes more uncertain and the U.S. Congress is in a stalemate over providing more support. But there are trade-offs as the weaponization of global finance could harm the U.S. dollar’s standing as the world’s dominant currency.

Members phkrause Posted March 3 Author Members Share Posted March 3 Why French president Macron raised the prospect of Western troops in Ukraine French President Emmanuel Macron appeared isolated on the European stage this week after saying the possibility of Western troops being sent to Ukraine could not be ruled out, a comment that prompted an outcry from other leaders. Read more. A closer look: The exact signal Macron was trying to send remains unclear, but “it wasn’t said by accident,” said Phillips O’Brien, professor of strategic studies at the University of St. Andrews, Scotland. Whatever Macron’s message was, some analysts say he may have fumbled the delivery. Macron has held evolving views on Russia. After Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Macron initially kept open a line of communication with Putin, but he last spoke with him in September 2022 — and he’s taken a tougher stance publicly ever since. In contrast, the hand-wringing over Russia in the rest of Europe comes amid worries that the U.S. will dial back support for Ukraine. European officials are also concerned that former President Donald Trump could be reelected later this year and potentially change the course of U.S. policy on the continent.

Members phkrause Posted March 5 Author Members Share Posted March 5 Taurus missiles are the weapons at the heart of leaked audio and Russian-German tensions On the day that Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny was laid to rest in Moscow, Russian state media leaked an audio recording of German military officers discussing the hypothetical use of Taurus long-range missiles in Ukraine. Furious with Germany, Moscow leveled threats in response. Read more. Why this matters: The leak has embarrassed Germany and raised concerns about the security of its communications. Germany is the second-biggest supplier of military aid to Ukraine after the United States, and is further stepping up support this year, but it has not approved deploying the weapons despite months of pressure from Ukraine. The German- and Swedish-made missiles would be able to reach targets deep in Russia from Ukrainian soil, thanks to stealth technology that makes them less visible to detection. Ukraine has been asking Germany for the missiles to complement long-range Storm Shadow missiles sent by Britain and France’s nearly identical Scalp cruise missiles.
