Triggered by your post I've been trying to find a list/ table, by country, of the numbers of air defense systems sent to Ukraine.
I haven't found one yet.
I'm afraid that was my understanding from the outset..."strikes limited to the defence of Ukrainian forces in Kursk region". That in itself has some ambiguity: can they only strike within Kursk region, or can they strike (for example) any Russian airfield from which missiles, aircraft, drones...
Europe should indeed, after we've smashed some of their facilities.
I think it's only UK and France that have provided Ukraine with long range missiles...but yes, it would be nice to hear a European statement of support (apart from Hungary of course).
It drives me mad that Russia commits war crimes DAILY against Ukraine, killing civilians and destroying civilian energy infrastructure and hospitals deliberately... and yet mainstream media do not call it out as WAR CRIMES daily.
Then there's an adjustment in targetting policy, still restricted...
Indeed. France is way behind,and some of their cosmetic/ fashion companies were VERY slow to pull out of Russia, if indeed they have fully.
Nice words from Macron but far less action.
It feels like:
- hit Russian military camps and supply lines in Kursk, with missiles, at will 👍
- precise hits on energy infrastructure? Volgograd? Sochi? Moscow?? not sure the US would be allowing their missiles for that yet 🤔 perhaps more likely still Ukraine has to use it's drones 🤔
Well done Senators... I see Musk hasn't actually denied the contacts. Not every US politician is just going to roll over in Musk's presence.

Could well be because of the combination of the incessant and deadly missile and drone strikes, as well as the N Koreans. At least now Ukraine has a chance to hit training and other military camps in Kursk - hopefully substantially denting morale and effectiveness of the Russian counterattacks...
Yes, I do get his point, and it's important, but I think he downplayed the total military support from the US since the invasion.
US military and financial support overall has been critical to Ukraine IMO - it would take some time for Europe, Ukraine (and others? S Korea?) to take up the slack.
It was a very thoughtful video from Warburg, and I like the three points you highlight, especially the first. One always thinks Trump is just random, unpredictable, and it may well be very deliberate from him... covering all bases.
Even the rudeness directed toward Zelenskiy in the past week...
Would be nice. A lot of the pro Ukraine commentators I read say they will stay on Twitter (or have both) to keep fighting the bad guys and the trolls.
Or should they all leave so the bad guys and bots just fight each other.
I don't know what the 'protections' are on BlueSky but I'm pretty sure...
