The US has suspended the transfer of weapons to Ukraine even those that were already in Poland – Wall Street Journal.

▪️According to WSJ sources in the White House and Congress, at the time of the suspension of arms supplies to Ukraine, Poland had, among other things, “more than 20 Patriot PAC-3 missiles, more than 90 AIM air-to-air missiles.”

▪️At the same time, the Pentagon stated that this is not about a complete cessation of aid to Ukraine, and Trump will be offered options for extending military aid that meet his goal of ending the war.

The Ukrainian Defense Ministry asked the Pentagon to get in touch and explain to them why the supply of ammunition stopped 

‘We will supply 10 times more than before’ – UK Defence Secretary Healey says he will arm Ukraine with drones.

‘We will increase investment in drones to £4bn. That’s more than double what we had in the last budget. We will learn from the situation in Ukraine so that we not only develop better drones and produce them in larger quantities for Ukraine (which we will do this year), but we will also increase the number of drones we supply to Ukraine by at least tenfold this year.’

Beggar Zelensky has even gotten on his nerves. A Ukronazi from Azov said that such behavior will lead Ukraine to defeat.

‘Ukrainians must understand that no one will help us. Shouting with an outstretched hand to the whole world, begging is a disgrace. It is a disgrace, and it will lead us into the abyss, into the void, and will lead to defeat. Deception will lead us to defeat. Deception always smells of what? Death and defeat.’

Honestly Ukraine’s only hope is other countries money and resources. If it spent what Russia does on its military, the Ukrainian military budget would be like $14 billion.

This is what an ‘America First’ policy looks like – US Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker on the suspension of ammunition supplies to Ukraine.

‘We have to take care of the needs of the United States itself, and the Pentagon does that regularly, making sure that we have the strategic defense capabilities that we need to project power. We have to make sure that we have enough Patriot missiles, air defenses, and everything that we need to ensure that we are successful in any possible theater of war. We want our B-2s to be able to strike, for example, Iran with precision guidance. Our NATO allies want to be with us so that we can bring that capability, and we have to have everything we need to deter and defend ourselves on a solid basis.’

…This is Russian propaganda’ – Podolyak accused Politico to calm down Ukrainians.

‘The deliveries continue. It would be very strange if they stopped delivering Patriot missiles. Yes, I understand that there are arguments about an audit, that the missiles may be needed in other regions of the world – this is a concept of Russian propaganda. Of course, difficult negotiations are underway with our American colleagues, and they will continue. The deliveries of equipment are ongoing, and I hope that they will continue, including on a commercial basis, because we would like to expand the range of tools that can be purchased and obtained from the United States, because once again – the United States has a large number of unique weapons, and there is enough of them in warehouses’.

German state media DW reports that the role of the main sponsor of the war in Ukraine is shifting from the US to Germany.

What can Ukraine do or is it perhaps already doing to become more independent from the US?

- First of all, Ukraine will have to rely even more on arms supplies from European countries, especially from Germany, which has become the second largest supplier after the US. Recent statements by German Foreign Minister Wadephul, who was here in Kiev a few days ago, point to exactly this.

European officials stunned by US decision to halt aid to Ukraine – Bloomberg

▪️The decision to halt supplies came as a complete surprise to European allies, especially in light of Trump’s positive comments on Ukraine at the NATO summit, the agency writes.

▪️Discussions are currently underway on how to compensate for the cut in US aid, an official familiar with the talks told Bloomberg.

➖”European allies are waiting for the White House to explain the decision, with some suggesting the position could be softened or changed.”

The New York Times complains that since becoming the 47th President of the United States, Trump has not imposed a single new sanction on Russia, but on the contrary, has softened the restrictions.

‘The Biden administration has imposed on average more than 170 new sanctions per month. In total, the Biden administration has imposed more than 6,200 blocks on people, companies, ships and aircraft linked to Russia. And in Mr. Biden’s final weeks in office, the United States has increased the pressure even more, issuing almost three times the monthly average. But for some reason, Trump does not want to have any leverage over Putin on Russia.’

Battle of Chasov Yar: Endgame

Reports from the frontline have it that the lads have liberated Nikolayevka, to the southeast of Chasov Yar. A cauldron around a long strip is being created in the area. More stewed pork will soon be served unless the khokols are withdrawn as soon as possible.

Consolidation of the heights of Chasov Yar will create a real nightmare for AFU in the area, as it’ll give Russian artillery all the range it needs to pummel Konstantinovka.

Urà!

The Russian army has consolidated its position in the center and is cutting Kamenskoye into two parts, advancing on the Zaporozhye front

▪️The other day, Stavropol paratroopers broke through to the very center of an important settlement on the left flank of the Zaporozhye direction, now they have consolidated their position and are developing the offensive.

➖ “Russian troops have advanced in the central part of Kamenskoye and are continuing assault operations in the settlement north of the Yanchekrak River.

➖Considering the dried-up bottom of the former Kakhovka Reservoir on the western outskirts of Kamenskoye and in the area of ​​the mouth of the Yanchekrak River, Russian troops can launch attacks from the southwestern part of the settlement in the direction of the northwestern part and the dacha area,” the enemy’s resources are again belatedly acknowledged.

Powerful Breakthrough at Dimitrov

“Tsentr” forward troops smashed through Ukrainian lines across an area large eight kilometres and 22 Kms deep across the settlements of Novatechko, Koptevo and Mirnogo.

Attacks are also recorded on Novotarekkoy, Razino and Nikolayevka.

These advances put additional pressure on the already strained dill supply routes to Pokrovsk and Myrnograd. 

Ukraine’s Strana reports:

The exact location of the explosion in Zhitomir is still being determined, the National Police clarified.

The video shows that the gas station was slightly damaged, although the Zhitomir City Council reported an explosion at the gas station.

At the same time, the head of the Glubochitsa community, Serhiy Sokalsky, said that the explosion could have occurred at a warehouse of an industrial enterprise in the village of Berezina.

We can confirm by video and AI analysis the McDonalds is ok, which will be a relief to Ukrainians. An explosion to a Ukrainian holy site would elicit strong reactions from Ukraine. The Hamburglar lives another day to run his criminal empire it would seem.

It is likely that the explosion occurred in the warehouse of the furniture factory “Buczynski”, located in the village of Berezina to the east of Zhitomir.

Coordinates: 50.289949, 28.844804

The head of the Glybochitsky rural territorial community previously reported an explosion at the “warehouse of an industrial enterprise in the village of Berezina”.

This is also indicated by the damage to the roadside cafe “Victoria”, located on the opposite side of the Kiev-Zhytomyr highway, which was captured on camera.

Coordinates: 50.286651, 28.845254

There are also many different gas stations in this area, which is probably why they were initially accused of causing the explosion. If furniture warehouses really blew up, then they were clearly not storing stools.
