Zelensky Admits Ukraine’s Inability to Go on Counter offensive 4 hours ago March 25, 2023
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has admitted that his country’s army is currently unable to launch a counteroffensive in the east, explaining this by a lack of necessary weapons.
“We can’t start yet. We can’t send our brave soldiers to the front line without tanks, artillery and HIMARS [multiple launch rocket systems],” Zelensky said in an interview with Yomiuri Shimbun daily.
He continued, saying that the situation in the country’s east is “unfavorable” and that Ukraine is currently waiting for its allies to supply it with weaponry.
This comes shortly after Zelensky beseeched European leaders to deliver lethal weapons at a faster rate than they are being delivered, as he addressed a gathering of his EU allies via video link from a Ukrainian train.
He further warned that any delays in sending fighter jets and long-range missiles could prolong the war.
It is worth noting that Ukraine has constantly pleaded with its Western allies to send modern warplanes and long-range missiles. However, most of Kiev’s backers have so far refused to provide Western-made aircraft.
Supplying Ukraine with Western jets or allowing the use of foreign airfields by Ukrainian jets to attack Russian targets would, according to Russia, be considered “the involvement of these states in armed conflict.” So far, this consideration has driven the US and NATO decision-making on how they aid Ukraine, which is why it seems that the West may back down on supplying Ukraine with fighter jets, at least for the time being.

If Belarus acquires nuclear weapons from Russia, it could lead to the opening of a second front.

Beijing's involvement could be a “game changer” for both sides, an anonymous official told the US broadcaster
China’s power and close relationship with Moscow means it may be “the only country on Earth” capable of brokering a deal in Ukraine, a source within the French presidency told CNN on Friday. The reported comment comes ahead of French President Emmanuel Macron's visit to Beijing next week.
“It’s obvious that China is one of the few countries on Earth – maybe the only country in the world – to have a ‘game-changer’ effect on the conflict, for both sides,” the source said.

Russia to put nukes in Belarus near NATO borders, envoy says
Russian envoy to Belarus says weapons will be moved to ally’s territory despite ‘noise in Europe and the United States’.
Russia will place tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus near its ally’s borders with NATO countries, the Russian envoy to Minsk has said, in a move set to escalate tensions with the West.
Russian ambassador to Belarus Boris Gryzlov said on Sunday night that the weapons would be moved to the country’s western border as part of moves to “ensure security”.
“This will be done despite the noise in Europe and the United States,” Gryzlov told Belarusian state television.
Gryzlov said a storage facility would be completed by July 1, without specifying exactly where the weapons would be stationed.
The envoy’s comments come after Russian President Vladimir Putin last month announced plans to station tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus.
Belarus shares borders with Lithuania, Latvia and Poland, all of which are members of NATO, the military alliance originally established to deter Soviet expansion in Europe after World War II.
Russia will have to take countermeasures in respect to Finland’s accession to NATO, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Tuesday.
“The Kremlin believes that this is yet another escalation and that NATO’s expansion is posing a threat to our security and the interests of the Russian Federation. We will take countermeasures to ensure our own security both tactically and strategically,” Peskov warned as he said Russia would respond as it thinks fit.
“Believe me, our military will inform us about everything in due time,” he added.
“We will closely monitor the developments in Finland and see how the North Atlantic bloc will use the territory of Finland regarding the deployment of weapons, systems, and infrastructure close to our border there, potentially posing a threat to us,” Peskov said. Measures will be taken accordingly, he emphasized.
According to him, the situation around Finland “is fundamentally different from the situation in Ukraine.” “Firstly, Finland was never anti-Russia, and we have had no disputes with Finland,” Peskov maintained. “Things are quite the opposite with Ukraine, and the situation there is potentially more dangerous. This was why we needed to conduct the special military operation with the aim of attaining all the goals we set out,” he concluded.
