Zelensky just said he’s going to pay Ukranian soldiers 100,000 hryvnia per month. That’s about $3,300, more than 6x avg income: “Not just in order to say “Thank you”, but to show how truly indebted Ukraine is to them. And it will remain this way until the war ends.”

And confirming WaPo: The US has obtained intelligence suggesting that Russia’s claim of pulling back forces earlier this week was deliberate disinformation designed to make the West think they were de escalating while moving more forces toward the border:
