Polish Deputy Foreign Minister Pavel Yablonsky:

Relations between Ukraine and Poland have deteriorated due to a diplomatic scandal and are now "not the best”.

This is due to the fact that "some emotions have appeared" in Ukraine.

Poland understands this, because the country is under attack from Russia, however, Ukraine should not attack its allies either.

We are guided by the policy of national interests. We help only to the extent that it corresponds to our national interests.

Recently, Ukrainian MFA summoned the Polish ambassador due to the statement of the Minister of the Chancellery of Poland about the alleged ungratefulness of Ukrainians for help.

In response, Poland summoned the Ukrainian ambassador to the MFA.

And Polish Prime Minister said Ukraine made a mistake.

President Zelensky says Ukraine is grateful to every nation that provides assistance.

We will not let any political moments spoil relations between the Ukrainian and Polish people, and emotions should definitely cool down.

NYT:

Ukrainian military set aside US tactics during counteroffensive.

The bottom line is that the American way of waging war differs from the Russian one by decentralizing the management of various units in battle.

But on the battlefield, Ukrainian Army faced significant mining and massive shelling.

Ukrainian commanders changed their tactics: They began to wear down the enemy's forces with artillery and rockets.

Russian Su-34, after dropping unguided bombs, passes at low altitude over the positions of Ukrainian soldiers.

This is how the lack of mass guided weapons turns a fighter jet into literally a suicide machine.

Only Ukrainian’s lack of anti-aircraft weapons does not make this passage the last.
