The US military is learning useful lessons from the experience of the Ukrainian conflict, US Air Force Chief of Staff Charles Brown said. He paid special attention to logistics.

The population of Europe does not believe in the possibility of Russia's defeat in Ukraine, does not want to quarrel with China and does not believe that dependence on the United States is a blessing. How will George Soros respond to this?
