🇱🇹 Lithuania's incoming government is pledging to spend at least 3.5% of GDP on defense. Lithuania's current defense spending is 2.85% per NATO's estimates provided in June.
This is the way.

@WarMonitor3: Trump is a Russian agent. Trump and Musk reportedly called Putin for the past 2 years, which clearly has influenced their actions and positions. Trump has many friends and campaign officials with connections to Russia. This seems planned and coordinated. It’s part of Putin’s plan

Funds from the ~$50 billion loan to Ukraine from the G7, backed by Russian frozen assets, are expected to begin flowing in December. The allocation is as follows:
🇺🇸 - $20 billion
🇪🇺 - $20 billion
🇨🇦 - $3.6 billion
🇯🇵 - $3 billion
🇬🇧 - $3 billion
All funds are to be disbursed no later than December 2027, but could be much sooner than that. The Biden Admin intends to disburse all of their share by the end of the President's term.

@ZizkaFella: They approved up to 35 billion Euros on the basis that the United States might not have joined the agreement unless the EU implemented a long term freeze of the assets. I expect that they won't provide the full 35 with everyone else meeting their commitment.

🚨🇺🇸🇺🇦🇷🇺🇰🇵 @DepPentPressSec now acknowledges that there are at least 10,000 North Korean troops in Russia. The Admin's previous figure was 3000.
"We are increasingly concerned that Russia intends to use these soldiers in combat or to support combat operations against Ukrainian forces"

@IInqntrol @Vincent_99_: Undetermined right now. I don't know whether the EU has announced earmarks or not. The US contribution could either be 50/50 or 100% economic.

Croatia Planing to buy 50 Leopard 2A8 tanks from Germany, and send 30 M-84 tanks and 30 M-80 IFVs to Ukrain.
Croatia would deliver 30 M-84 tanks and 30 M-80 infantry fighting vehicles to Ukraine in the first delivery. Germany would then pay money to Croatia for those vehicles (M84 and M80) and the total price of the new Leopard 2A8 would be reduced by that amount.

@NikolajMeedom: It is self interested. What counts is the end result though, if they can get there.
