Reuters:

Taiwan prosecutors are investigating accusations that people tried to interfere in the island's submarine program and that details about it were leaked, in what would be a serious breach of security.

Huang Shu-kuang, who is leading the program, told local media last week that lawmakers, whom he did not name, had made it difficult for the program to purchase critical equipment, and that a contractor who had failed to obtain a bid forwarded information to China.

Taiwan's Supreme Prosecutors Office, in a short statement, said Huang's accusations had attracted "great attention" given the national security and defence implications.

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham:

If we pull the plug on Ukraine, it will be 10 times worse than in Afghanistan.

This would be a death sentence for Taiwan.

You missed the whole of World War II if you don't know how this movie ends.

If Ukraine can beat Russia, China is less likely to invade Taiwan.

Ukrainian Ambassador to Warsaw, Vasyl Zvarych:

The Polish authorities received an invitation from Ukrainian representatives to come to Ukraine for the military industry forum, but did not accept it.

The future of Ukraine is in the EU, in our community of freedom, and soon it will expand from Lisbon to Luhansk.

With every village, with every meter that Ukraine liberates, it expands its path to the EU.

A new missile is being developed for the S-400 air defense system, specially “tailored” to strike ground targets.

Potentially each S-400 air defense division will be capable of effectively hitting not only air targets, but also ground targets, thereby being armed with dual-use launchers.

POLITICO:

Biden administration deeply concerned about corruption in Ukraine.

The Biden administration is far more worried about corruption in Ukraine than it publicly admits, according to a new report by POLITICO.

A "sensitive but unclassified" version of the long-term U.S. plan lays out numerous steps Washington is taking to help Kyiv root out malfeasance and otherwise reform an array of Ukrainian sectors.

It stresses that corruption could cause Western allies to abandon Ukraine's fight against Russia's invasion, and that Kyiv cannot put off the anti-graft effort.

The confidential version of the document warns that "perceptions of high-level corruption" could "undermine the Ukrainian public's and foreign leaders' confidence in the war-time government."

British FM James Cleverly:

China’s economy would collapse if it went to war with Taiwan.

Huge international trade volumes go through that body of water and war would be a catastrophically bad thing for the global economy.

It would also collapse the Chinese economy and as we are now seeing, the Chinese economy is not all-powerful.

Preventing a Taiwan conflict “is an absolute core plank of UK foreign policy”.
