🔴Russia Has Upper Hand in Electronic Warfare with Ukraine – FT

Moscow has increasingly deployed EW to push off-course Ukraine’s western-supplied, precision-guided munitions, such as HIMARS rockets and Excalibur artillery shells, the outlet noted.

One Ukrainian soldier bemoaned the lack of EW protection for his unit, which was largely wiped out – with Russian drones “hitting us like mosquitoes.”

“What radio-electronic warfare? . . . We had none. I don’t even want to recall those days in the trenches. Our boys were falling like flies,” he added.

🪙 UN Temporarily Closes Geneva HQ Due to Lack of Funds

The unprecedented step was taken due to exorbitant electricity costs, with officials citing a staggering 300% increase in bills over the past three years.

The closure of the Palais des Nations on December 20, 2023, is in response to a severe liquidity crisis for the UN. The historic structure had been its European hub since 1966.

UN spox Alessandra Vellucci expressed concerns earlier this week – revealing that 50 member states have not met their financial obligations.

👔🇺🇦😴 A tired Zelensky looks too weak to achieve victory, the West wants a speedy peace - Telegraph

🔻The West does not believe that Putin is attacking NATO, so it is in no hurry to increase aid to Ukraine, says British military expert, retired Colonel Richard Kemp.

🔻Ukraine did not put forward a new strategy after the failure of the counteroffensive.
"Ukraine has no clear strategy for the future conduct of the conflict. Zelensky continues to insist that Ukraine will return all of its territory occupied by Russia; although, after clearly over-promising for a summer offensive, he appears to be no longer talking about a time frame.”

🔻Zelensky’s statements about shifting the center of gravity of the war to Crimea and the Black Sea are not enough for the West to stop “keeping its hands in its pockets” (that is, providing metered assistance).

🔻The author, who visited Kiev, said that “some political leaders” in Kiev are discussing the idea of ​​a peace agreement “in which Russia would accept Ukraine’s membership in NATO in exchange for guarantees that there would be no attempts by Ukraine to regain lost territory.”

🔻According to Kemp, Biden and European leaders “want nothing more than such a peace agreement, and as soon as possible.” They do not believe Ukraine’s words that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are fighting for all of Europe, which Russia, according to Zelensky, will attack if it defeats Ukraine.

🔻"There is no indication that the US President or the leaders of Western Europe really believe this. If they did, they would have long ago done everything possible to contain the Russian Federation and supply Ukraine with the huge amount of weapons it needs to defeat Russia," - writes the analyst.
