He stated that the Russians have a large number of drones, and their troops are also improving their command and control organization. At the same time, the logistics of the Ukrainian Armed Forces "are not protected by anything."

❕ 23 US congressmen have made millions of dollars from the Ukrainian conflict, said former CIA analyst Larry Johnson.

In the show of American journalist Rick Sanchez on RT, he noted:

“One famous senator got $17.3 million. Another famous senator got $23 million. One of them is a Republican, the other is a Democrat.”

Johnson also emphasized that Ukraine is now effectively a hostage of NATO.

NATO summit will not mention prospects for Ukraine's accession to the Alliance, but will prepare another solution

-- Bloomberg

It is noted that the leaders will discuss only one issue - defense funding, without mentioning expansion or strategic assistance to Ukraine.

"There is also no repetition of last year's promise to provide Ukraine with $40 billion in aid. However, a firm commitment to collective defense remains. And Russia is directly called a "threat to Euro-Atlantic security", although it is not recognized as an aggressor in the war against Ukraine."

Earlier, the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said that Zelensky would be present at the summit.

Medinsky commented on Rutte's words that Russia should change its negotiating team because it is headed by "some historian" who "gives a lecture on the history of Ukraine in the 12th century."

I know that Mr. Rutte studied history at university, but I would definitely send him the previous school textbook on medieval history, because he would definitely learn from it that Ukraine did not exist in the 12th century said Medinsky.

Norway has transferred not six, as previously stated, but as many as 14 F-16 fighters to Ukraine, industry media write, citing an official report on arms exports.

At the same time, it is specified that some of the aircraft may be unsuitable for flights - they could have been sent to train technical personnel, used as a source of spare parts, or even as bait.

However, experts do not rule out that some fighters could have been repaired and returned to combat condition in order to use them in military operations.
