War in Ukraine 25Apr2024


France’s Macron defends Ukraine as being essential to Europe’s security. Russian pundit Solovyev “throws a tantrum” over what Macron has said.

Russia trying to destroy as much of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure as possible before US aid arrives.

Now Russia’s hitting railways.

Zelenskyy thanks everyone who has helped.

Piece on why Europeans are reluctant to part with Patriot missile systems. These systems take a long time to produce.

The House vote [to resume aid to Ukraine] stops the hemorrhage of US credibility that had thrown US allies into varying degrees of alarm and demoralized Ukrainians…

Is the aid package enough? Ehh, it’s a good start. Can they get another one through? Hard to say. Blogger feels Biden Administration is too “risk averse.”

“What is more, even the fresh infusion of weaponry will not wholly eliminate Russia’s advantage in terms of firepower.“ Ukraine’s ability to defend itself against assaults by air shrank during dithering by the House. It’s hard to make up for that as a great deal of infrastructure has been destroyed.

Dmytro Kuleba, Ukraine’s Foreign Minister, warns that “’the era of peace in Europe is over’ and that Kyiv would inevitably need more help to fight off Russia. … No single package can stop the Russians. What will stop the Russians is a united front of all of Ukraine and all of its partners.”

A Ukrainian veteran now living in Texas, warns that Russian propaganda can turn a country against Ukraine at any time. Ukrainians need to be aware of this. Russians use “disinformation, bribery, and the use of ‘useful idiots.’” Ukraine needs to localize weapons production.

The constant stress of living in wartime conditions.

Long video of a Russian armored assault on Krasnohorivka.

Murders committed by Russian soldiers who return from the war is over 100.

Petroleum tanks holding 200 liters each catch fire in Omsk (roughly 1k miles from Ukraine, just North of Kazakhstan).
