Austin’s visit to Kyiv was a high-profile push to keep money and weapons flowing to Ukraine. After travelling to Kyiv by train from Poland, Austin met President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, the defence minister, Rustem Umerov, and the chief of staff, Gen Valerii Zaluzhnyi. And....then

Germany’s defence chief has arrived in Ukraine on a surprise visit.

Boris Pistorius arrived in Kyiv on Tuesday by train, , according to the AFP news agency. It’s understood he is seeking to offer reassurances on Germany’s support for Ukraine in its war against Russia. The German defence minister is due to hold talks with his Ukrainian counterpart as well as President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. This is his second visit to the capital since he took on the role.

It’s a visit that comes after an increase in Russian air attacks on Ukraine and as Kyiv braces for an expected rise in strikes on the country’s energy facilities over the coming winter months. It is Pistorius’s second visit to Kyiv since he became defence minister at the start of this year and it comes a day after the US defence secretary, Lloyd Austin, made an unannounced trip to Ukraine.

Berlin is the second-biggest supplier of military assistance to Kyiv after the US. The chancellor, Olaf Scholz, pledged last month that Germany would maintain its aid to Kyiv, insisting that “we will support Ukraine as long as necessary”.

What are the weak points for the Russians?

Marines by the standards of Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) are better-than-average troops, selected and trained for assault and amphibious operations & soldiers holding enclaves now are for most part seasoned troops with combat-experienced leaders & most likely, all volunteers. As organization, Ukrainian Marines consider themselves more skilled fighters than their Russian opponents (and for that matter most of the AFU), they believe their combat record proves it Ukrainian Marine morale is good, no matter what, the Russians throw at them, they are pretty low in morale.

Polish Idea On How To Send MiG-29s To Ukraine

When, after February 24, it became clear that the Ukrainian government was not going anywhere and Ukraine was fighting, the question of providing military aid arose. On the first or second day, a Ukrainian official wrote on WhatsApp to one of the Polish ministers that they needed fuel and anti-aircraft complexes.

According to translated and paraphrased excerpts of the book posted on X (formerly Twitter), the need to send military aid to Ukraine arose after it was evident that the Ukrainian army and government were intact and would last longer in the war than expected.

The Poles planned to hand over the MiG-29 to Ukraine and desired to do it in a way that “would not put Poland in danger.” The Americans were “ambiguous” on this issue and pointed out to Zelensky, who had since been in touch with Poland, that Duda was opposed to handing over the MiG. “As a result, Zelensky personally called Duda.”

American reluctance could be explained by the jets being seen as a direct participation in the war by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) member country, which could make it a legitimate target. This would lead to a direct collision between the US, Europe, and Russia, leading to what military experts call World War 3

Whether that shift is a lasting one for the contentious relationship will be put to an immediate test, however, by comments made by Biden during a solo press conference after the meeting.

Amidst increased defense collaboration between Armenia and Western nations, russian state-controlled media have suggested that Yerevan might be preparing to provide Ukraine with Soviet weaponry, while the West would replenish Armenian Army's stocks with new arms in exchange.

Kremlin propagandists assume that Armenia could covertly supply Ukrainian Armed Forces with launchers and spare missiles for the Tochka-U short-range ballistic missile system, Defense Romania noticed. On top of that, 40 Osa air defense systems could potentially go to Ukraine as well.

russian sources assert that Armenia keeps three Tochka-U launchers and up to 200 missiles, and the entire arsenal might end up in Ukraine. Some even suggest the possibility that Armenia initiated the transfers even before russian forces launched their full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

Kaliningrad Move Hints at Russian Struggles for Putin who is pulling out air defense systems from its western exclave of Kaliningrad, indicating Moscow is struggling to weather the toll of its ongoing war in Ukraine, according to a Sunday assessment by British Defense Ministry.
Russia bases its Baltic Sea Fleet at Kaliningrad, which is sandwiched between Poland and Lithuania on NATO's eastern flank

The valuable, advanced air defense from Kaliningrad follows an "uptick" in losses of Moscow's SA-21 system around late October the SA-21 Growler, as it is designated by NATO, is an advanced mobile surface-to-air missile system, also known as the S-400 Triumf. The long-range S-400 is considered broadly equivalent to the U.S. military's Patriot air defense system, and the gold-standard of Russian air defense.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine that began in February 2022. The start of 2022 year, Russia had around 96 S-400 mobile surface-to-air missile systems, according to the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS).

Kyiv launched its summer counteroffensive on Russian forces, the Ukrainian military upped its focus on the S-400—deployed around the Moscow-controlled Crimean peninsula in mid-September S-400 had initially performed well across Ukraine, but was increasingly failing to fend off targeted Ukrainian strikes.

The reality is that the Kremlin understands this war as an existential threat – by its own warped definition. Vladimir Putin is acutely aware of the fact that his regime is now in grave danger, with all the world’s powers either against it – like the U.S. and EU – or unwilling to explicitly ally themselves with Moscow – such as India and China.

Of course, it is only Putin’s regime that is in danger. Russia will survive. It’s huge. It spreads across 11 time zones. Trying to destroy it would be a fool’s errand, and neither Ukraine nor NATO has any intention of doing so.

But Putin’s own power over Russia, his “Russian world” ideology, and the fantasy of a Great Russia regaining its erstwhile influence over much of Europe and Asia are rehearsing their last gasps.

A proposal to divert Roman Abramovich’s £2.34 billion Chelsea sale fund to Israel rather than Ukraine was discussed after the Hamas terrorist attack, Telegraph Sport can reveal.

The UK is understood to have turned down the high-level suggestion, with ministers believing it had been a move by the sanctioned oligarch to avoid condemnation in Russia.

Abramovich first promised proceeds for “all Ukraine war victims” after putting Chelsea up for sale on March 2 last year, 8-days before facing sanctions over alleged links to Vladimir Putin.

The theatrics suggest NATO is not aiming for an escalation straightaway but rather opting for a carrot-and-stick approach to force Russia to come to the negotiating table. Not because Russia is losing the war but because the West has finally realized that Ukraine could lose the war.

A realistic timeline for the operational deployment of the F-16 fighters in Ukraine could easily stretch to mid-2024, if not later. By then, to quote William Shakespeare in Macbeth, the hurly-burly may well be done, and the battle may well be lost and won.

Explosions are periodically reported in the occupied cities of Melitopol and Tokmak. These cities are strategic targets for Ukrainian Armed Forces, as they continue their counter-offensive in southern Ukraine to cut off the so-called land corridor along Sea of Azov connecting Russia and Ukraine’s Russian-occupied Crimea.
