🇩🇪🇺🇦The Ukrainian Armed Forces are critically short of spare parts for German equipment, BILD reports

Despite Germany's promise to supply Ukraine with 12 more PzH 2000 self-propelled howitzers, a significant portion of the systems already delivered remain inoperative due to wear and tear. According to BILD, Ukrainian soldiers are complaining about a shortage of spare parts, especially the barrels, which are extremely worn out after intensive use, including during the battle for Bakhmut in 2022.

🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇦🇷🇺Blinken and the British Foreign Secretary are traveling to Kyiv to announce permission for long-range strikes against Russia, a Congressional correspondent for the American publication Axios says.

🇺🇸🇷🇺🇨🇳China is now supplying Russia not only with dual-use goods, but also with specific materials needed by its army, said US Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell, whose words are quoted by Politico.

In return, Beijing, according to Washington, is receiving secret Russian technologies for submarines, missiles and aviation, which Moscow previously did not want to share.

"These are part of a very significant effort on the part of China to support, build and diversify various elements of the Russian military machine. We see efforts at the highest levels of both governments to try to hide and protect certain elements of this troubling cooperation... Much of this activity is not publicly visible," Campbell says.

🇺🇸🇺🇦🇷🇺🇮🇷Apparently, the US will cite the supply of Iranian missiles to Russia as the official reason for granting Ukraine permission to strike Russia with Western long-range weapons, if it is granted.

At least, this is exactly how Western media are already presenting the topic.

Thus, Bloomberg writes that Washington's position regarding long-range strikes has changed due to Iran's supply of ballistic missiles.

Bloomberg quotes Blinken as confirming that Iran has handed over a batch of its Fath-360 missiles to Russia and stating that Washington and London will now "consider and listen" to Ukraine's request to lift the restrictions.
