Day 979 war in Ukraine

Ramzan Kadyrov Spetsnaz university Ukrainian drone strike.

All out aerial assault on cities close to the front.

Zelenskyy answers the suggestion that Ukraine freeze its conflict with Russia. That would involve Russian troops remaining on Ukrainian soil.

With Zelenskyy’s “Victory Plan,” he might be seeking to blame the West if he ends up having to surrender territory and/or sign a temporary truce agreement. Zelenskyy wants a “non-nuclear deterrent” of Tomahawk missiles. They have a range 7 times that of ATACMS.

Illia Ponomarenko asks if Tomahawk missiles are unacceptable, then what is the alternative?

Talks between Ukraine and Russia on not striking each others energy facilities.

Russian military school bombed.

CSIS asserts that North Korean troops are poorly prepared for combat. “’The conclusion is clear — this war is becoming internationalised, extending beyond two countries,’ Zelenskyy said.”

US running low on air defense missiles. Israel’s need to defend against Iranian missiles is a drain on that resource. “The U.S. has not developed a defense industrial base intended for a large-scale war of attrition in both Europe and the Middle East, while meeting its own readiness standards.” As the blogger says: “We are now almost three years into Russia’s genocidal re-invasion of Ukraine and over a year into whatever it is we’re doing in the Middle East as a result of the Israel-Hamas war and no one has put the US defense industrial base on a war footing.
