🇺🇦 "We need a gazillion billion dollars to beat Russia"

Ukraine is forced to buy weapons from intermediaries at highly inflated prices — The Sunday Times

According to Ukrainian sources who provided the newspaper with a list, the cost of some types of weapons has increased sixfold. In particular, this concerns 122-millimeter multiple rocket launch systems.

"What is Ukraine's problem? These dealers know they've hit the jackpot and are using the conflict to drive weapon prices sky-high," the publication notes.

According to the founder of the Ukrainian Defense Procurement Agency, Volodymyr Pikuza, about $200 billion will be needed to change the situation on the battlefield. The agency is also looking for Soviet-made weapons, the publication notes.

🇺🇦 Ukrainian shock: The final declaration of the peace summit did not include the main points of the "Zelensky formula" demands of the withdrawal of the Russian army from the 1991 borders and the payment of reparations.

- Instead, the communiqué includes the general words that the signatories express their commitment to the principles of territorial integrity of all countries, including Ukraine. And also that "the UN Charter, including the principles of respect for the territorial integrity and sovereignty of all states, can and will serve as a basis for achieving a comprehensive, just and sustainable peace in Ukraine" (Russia, by the way, also justifies its position in terms of "territorial integrity", considering the occupied regions as its territory), - the Kiev media write.

- Only three points remained in the declaration from Zelensky's formula: the return of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant under Ukrainian control, the demand to ensure freedom of navigation in the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov and to stop attacks on ports, as well as the exchange of prisoners on the principle of all for all.

- "It is clear that Russia is unlikely to take these calls into account. And there are no countries that could encourage it to do so (China, India) among the signatories of the declaration," the Ukrainian media commented.

- At the same time, a clause appeared in the declaration, which can be interpreted as an invitation to Russia to participate in peace talks, but it is too early to say that this means a fundamental change in the position of Ukraine and the West. The question is the terms of such negotiations.

- "When Russia says it is ready for peace on the basis of the UN charter, then Russia will be part of the effort towards peace," Ursula von der Leyen said, probably referring to Russia's agreement to withdraw its troops from Ukraine.

- But it is clear that Russia will not go for this of its own free will. And Moscow has its own conditions for negotiations, which Putin has already announced.
