The Telegraph:
China is helping arm Russia with helicopters, drones, optical sights and critical metals used by the defense industry.
Russian firms, including companies under sanctions that manufacture rocket launchers, armored vehicles and strategic bombers, received tens of thousands of shipments from China in the first quarter of this year.
One company that calls itself a wholesaler of children's toys, Shantou Honghu Plastics, sent 1,000 drones to Russia.
Another company, Hems999, has supplied two helicopters, and Tianjin Huarong Aviation has donated four Airbus helicopters to Russia since the start of the war.
Chinese firms have also shipped optical sights to more than 50 Russian companies from early 2022 through the first quarter of this year.
Imports of these products almost doubled to $2.5 million last year compared to the previous year.
Many Russian factories were supplied with titanium plates and rods used in the aircraft and rocket industries.
Some Chinese firms even have offices in Moscow or company websites in Russian, and make little effort to hide their ties to the military by posting photos of fighter jets and warships on their homepages.

The Washington Post:
Ukraine seems to be running out of options for counteroffensive.
Ukraine appears to be running out of options for a counter-offensive that was initially viewed by officials as Kyiv's most important operation.
As noted, the failure of Ukraine to show success on the battlefield raises fears that the conflict is "reaching a stalemate" and international support may weaken.

Oleschuk says Ukraine needs four main aircraft:
F-16
Gripen
Typhoon
Rafale

Financial Times:
The United States does not produce tactical ballistic missiles in quantities that, if transferred to Ukraine, could turn the tide on the battlefield in Kyiv's favor.
There are calls in Kyiv and Washington to provide Ukraine with heavy weapons against the backdrop of "slow progress in the counteroffensive."
FT notes that Washington is unlikely to be able to provide Kyiv with lethal weapons in the same quantities as now in the next year.

New York Times:
The possibility of Trump winning the presidential election and returning to the White House is the subject of closed-door discussions among European governments.
Western Europeans, especially in Germany, are horrified at the prospect that during his previous term Trump threatened to withdraw from NATO, refused aid to Ukraine and ordered the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Germany.
If Trump returns to power, he may endanger NATO, creating an existential problem for Europe.

Germany’s Welt:
To win the war against Russia, Ukraine needs to mobilize 3 million people.
The population of Ukraine exceeds 30 million, so the total strength of the Armed Forces could reach 3 million.
10 percent would be the percentage of mobilization that Israel led in 1947-48 and thus preserved its state.
With such numbers, Ukraine can win and liberate its territory in the old-fashioned way: in a war of attrition, like most European wars of independence.
