Oh, I forgot, apparently only Russia can rearm and resupply its forces, but Ukraine is not allowed to defend itself. What a hypocritical statement. The truth is that Russia started this war and can end it at any time by pulling its troops back across its own borders. Instead, it
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov claims that a ceasefire in Ukraine would merely give the West a chance to keep supplying arms to Kyiv, describing any halt in fighting as a “strategic opportunity” for Ukraine’s supporters to regroup and rearm.

Absolutely not acceptable. Saying we cannot arm Ukraine because “we must keep weapons for ourselves” ignores the facts and abandons the strategic imperative. The United States spends more on defense than almost every country on earth combined; our defense budget is larger than
I just can't. Trump tried to explain why he fell short of providing Tomahawks to Ukraine “We can’t give all our weapons to Ukraine. I was very good to Zelensky and to Ukraine, but I can’t jeopardize the United States.”

We must arm Ukraine now. Indecision costs lives! Public back and forth weakens NATO credibility and erodes deterrence, which in turn emboldens the enemy. Long range strike systems like Tomahawk missiles would materially change Ukraine’s options on the battlefield, enabling

I would like to thank my good friend Dr. Anthony L. Tingle @AnthonyLTingle, Retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel, for coming out today during our training with a new combat brigade and serving as an on-the-ground observer of some outstanding training. It was an honor to have him

The modern battlefield has changed forever. I’ve seen it firsthand over the last three and a half years training Ukrainian soldiers as a volunteer combat advisor/trainer across multiple fronts. What used to be decided by armour, artillery, and speed is now dictated by what
NATO armies cannot revise their manoeuvre doctrine until they have acquired significant air defence and counter-drone capabilities. When we can blast aerial threats out of the sky at will, we’ll be able to test new combined arms tactics and see whether heavy armour has a future.

Russia has grown skilled at shaping choices to its advantage, forcing the West into debates and delays that serve Moscow’s strategic aims. It is time to reverse that dynamic and present Russia with dilemmas that impose real costs for aggression. We must make the consequences of

Our airspace is not negotiable; it is sovereign territory that must be defended at all costs. Any violation of NATO airspace or allied territory is a serious breach of international law and a direct threat to the safety of the Alliance. These are not small incidents—they are
❗️NATO Secretary General Rutte says there's no need to fear poorly trained Russian pilots in their old MiG-31s, because the alliance's economy is 25 times larger than Russia's, and its armed forces are infinitely superior to the Russian Armed Forces.

Live-fire rifle and grenade training is essential. Ukrainian and TCAG instructors conducted basic live-fire rifle and grenade training covering all shooting positions, positional shooting, bounding by ones and twos, and team flanking with coordinated shooting and maneuver.

The whiteboards, magic markers, and sets of magnets we bought with the 100-dollar funds donated. As described in the stream. We bought 3 sets of these. Thank you for this donation. It helped 3 platoons of instructors 😁

This is amazing news! Justice is finally gaining real momentum for the thousands of victims who have suffered under Russian aggression in Ukraine. The world has seen the undeniable evidence: bombed schools, destroyed hospitals, mass graves, and countless testimonies of
The evidence of Russia’s war crimes in Ukraine is plain to see. Unpunished crimes only encourage new atrocities. Today, we are providing the first €10 million for the Special Tribunal to ensure that those responsible for the crimes of aggression do not escape justice.

This is definitely a misunderstanding. What is being reported looks like a standard joint readiness exercise rather than a move toward real combat operations. The United States often conducts these types of regional exercises to test deployment speed, logistical coordination,

Awesome points from President Zelensky! This message is exactly what the world needs to hear right now. Ukraine’s need for stronger air defense systems cannot be overstated. Russia continues to strike civilian targets, power stations, and critical infrastructure, trying to break

https://t.co/Y1pFcEL7Hr Here is a Post just like you said. Thanks for that good point 🥰
This war is a hard and relentless war, and it takes a heavy toll. Every day, some of the best men and women Ukraine has to offer are taken from us. The sacrifices are enormous, the tears are endless, and the pain of loss is felt deeply by families, loved ones, and all of us who
