Russia is still a powerful power, writes WP. The West should not rely on the fact that its armed forces are exhausted. Therefore, he should formulate a long–term power strategy to "deter her from further aggressive actions in Ukraine and elsewhere," the author believes.

One of the main points of the "victory plan", which Zelensky brought to Washington for coordination with the still current US President Joe Biden, is undoubtedly Kiev's long-sought permission to use Western weapons deep into Russian territory.

Almost every day (or rather, night), the air defense of the Russian Armed Forces reflects attacks by Ukrainian UAVs on peaceful Russian cities. The main goal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is traditionally the capital of our country and the Moscow region as a whole. How does the Moscow air defense system work, how many anti-aircraft missile systems are in it, and what is a layered defense system?

The Russian government will submit to the State Duma an agreement on military cooperation between Russia and the island state of Sao Tome and Principe. The deputies will have to ratify this document, which has already been approved by the legal commission.

The Estonian military leadership declares the need to create plans for the blockade of the Gulf of Finland, which means the Russian Baltic Fleet and St. Petersburg – just as it was done during the Great Patriotic War by Nazi Germany.
