U.S. President Joe Biden has announced a new military aid package for Ukraine worth nearly $2.5 billion.

It includes $1.25 billion in a drawdown package for the Ukrainian military and another $1.22 Billion for the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI).

It will include an immediate influx of capabilities including longer-term supplies of air defence, artillery and other "critical weapons systems".

We will see a full list of what was included in this military aid package in the near future.

A Russian Su-57 just carried out a launch maneuver with Kh-59/69 cruise missiles.

There is also a threat of Ballistics from Kursk Oblast.

We should see missile(s) in Ukrainian airspace very soon.

No missiles observed yet. It could've been simulated launches.

Kh-59 missile in Sumy Oblast.

Disappeared.

It's possible it was shot down, Kh-59s are very slow. It's more likely that it was a false target or it struck an open area.

🇺🇦🇷🇺🇺🇸🇬🇧 Out of the initial 500 US-supplied missiles, Ukraine has maybe about 50 left and there is no likelihood of getting more due to the assignment of American stockpile for deployment in the Middle East and Asia, according to US officials.

UK officials said they didn’t have many Storm Shadow missiles to provide either.

Russian forces have reportedly made two advances on the western flank of Pokrovsk.

In the east, Russian forces reportedly advanced in the forests, expanding their foothold on the northern bank of the Solonyi river.

In the west, Russian forces reportedly advanced in the forests, reaching the eastern houses of the village of Zelene.

The Russian telegram channel Fighterbomber, who is apparently affiliated with the Russian Airforce, denies the reports of a Ukrainian F-16 being shot down in Zaporizhzhia Oblast.

I removed the Ukrainian flag from my twitter banner. I am trying to further disassociate myself from the Pro-Ukrainian community.

This is for a multitude of reasons, primarily the constant cope-driven takes by most Pro-Ukrainians and NAFOs on twitter, but also just a general removal from reality that I have observed in this community.

I also want to further push myself as a neutral reporter, despite my biases for Ukraine.

However, this doesn't mean that I am no longer Pro-Ukrainian so if you were wondering why this was changed, just know it has nothing to do with my stance on this war.

⭕️ The Israeli army said on Sunday that it will not allow Kamal Adwan Hospital to return to work, citing 'security concerns,' and forcing it to transfer its operations to the Indonesian Hospital.

Israel is once again claiming, as it did with Al-Shifa Hospital, that Hamas fighters have been using Kamal Adwan as a hideout.

Israel also says it has "defeated" Hamas in Jabalia and successfully isolated northern Gaza from Gaza City as it continues to implement the Generals' (starvation and extermination) plan.

They admit that no weapons were found in Kamal Adwan Hospital itself, but rather in 'nearby apartments.'

The military says it interrogated 950 individuals, identifying 240 as "terrorists." It also reported that it killed 20 militants.

Israeli commanders and soldiers have openly admitted to Haaretz that they deliberately kill civilians and count civilians as 'terrorists.'

As has been the case with all hospitals in the Gaza Strip, Israel has systematically destroyed Kamal Adwan Hospital through its siege, attacks on its staff and patients, equipment and departments using a wide array of lethal weapons.

Correction in Chasiv Yar:

Geolocations from a few weeks ago that I missed indicate that Ukrainian forces advanced in Chasiv Yar, retaking one residential street.

Ukraine also completed the recapture of the refractory plant, pushing the Russians to the low-rise residential area.

There are currently ~8 Tu-95ms aircraft at Olenya air base, of which at least 3 are equipped with Kh-101 cruise missiles.

Additionally, there are ~3 Tu-95ms aircraft at Engels-2 air base and ~3 Tu-95ms aircraft at Diaghilev air base.

Russian forces have reportedly marginally advanced in the southern part of the Kurakhove salient, in the direction of Yantarne. Apparently, they were able to enter the forests north of Kostiantynopolske.

However, the same source reported that Ukrainian forces maintain a presence in the three treelines to the northwest.

A short while ago, a prisoner exchange deal was conducted. 150 Russian POWs were exchanged for 150 Ukrainian POWs. Currently all Russian personnel are in Belarus. Presumably, the Ukrainian personnel are in Ukraine.

This deal was mediated by the UAE.

A second missile was launched.
