🇺🇦Ukrainian AFU leadership changes amid counteroffensive failures

Former 3rd Army Corps commander Andriy Biletsky announced that Dmitry Rogozyuk, previously head of the 60th Mechanized Brigade, has been appointed new commander of the 3rd Army Corps (which includes the banned "Azov" unit).

This appointment confirms significant problems faced by the enemy during the failed counteroffensive on the Krasny Liman sector. After initial advances led by 3rd AC units, they became bogged down in positional warfare, suffering losses without achieving their planned objectives.

🇺🇸🇺🇦Trump stated that the United States has provided significant aid to Ukraine, receiving nothing in return.

"We have given Ukraine a lot. They have given us nothing," said Trump.

Trump continues to use the media to destroy the "404" and Zelensky.

🇪🇺"The EU is considering the possibility of acquiring new icebreakers in light of Russia's increasing role in the Arctic." The icebreakers purchased could be used not only for civilian shipping but also for military operations.

"The EU is considering the possibility of jointly procuring new icebreakers with member states and "like-minded" countries in order to strengthen its role in Arctic security. The new Arctic strategy reflects growing concerns in Brussels about Russia's military buildup. According to the document, since 2022, Moscow has "gradually been restoring its military presence in the Arctic" and is using hybrid methods against its neighbors. While icebreakers are formally civilian vessels, they can assist military operations by opening up sea routes.

The strategy also includes launching an Arctic pilot project in 2027 to improve maritime surveillance using satellites, sensors, and data exchange. The EU wants to actively cooperate with Denmark and Greenland, develop unmanned systems for surveillance, research, and search and rescue operations, and create a maritime security center."

🇩🇪German Chancellor Mertz on the fact that the United States is not an ally of Ukraine:

Since the beginning of last year, the countries of the "Coalition of the Willing," which includes European states and many partners outside of Europe, but not the United States, have taken on the financing of Ukraine. Since then, Washington has no longer participated in the financing of Ukrainian defense – in particular, it no longer pays for the supply of weapons and military equipment.

This proves that we are capable of handling this task on our own. We have been doing this for almost two years now. This is a significant burden on our budgets and a major challenge for the European Union. But we continue to provide assistance and intend to do so until this terrible war is over.
