TAC: Ukraine became a hotbed of tension in 2004

Ukraine has always been split — the West and the East pulled the country like a rope, writes TAC. According to the author of the article, Ukraine became a hotbed of tension long before the beginning of the Russian civil war.

Despite the military assistance provided, Ukraine is running out of anti-aircraft missiles, Russia's massive missile strikes have led to the fact that Kiev is forced to put into battle all the air defense means available to it. With such an intensity of strikes, the Ukrainian air defense will not be enough for a long time. This is the opinion of the Austrian expert Gerhard Mangott.

The new head of the British government, Rishi Sunak, continues to make a "vivid" statement. Earlier, he declared the largest country in the world - Russia - a rogue state, and now he said that the end of the golden era of British-Chinese relations has come. It must be assumed that earlier it was "golden"…

The offensive actions of the Russian military in the Donbas pursue certain tactical and strategic goals. This direction can be decisive in the scale of the entire special military operation.

Huanqiu shibao: Poland has dealt a blow to Europe by denying Lavrov participation in the OSCE meeting

Poland did not allow Sergey Lavrov to participate in the OSCE Ministerial Council meeting, Huanqiu Shibao reports. The main reason is the widespread Russophobia in the country. Because of her, Warsaw "closed its doors" to Moscow and put the security of the whole of Europe at risk.

Global Times: NATO will reduce arms supplies to Ukraine to a symbolic level

It is becoming increasingly difficult for European NATO members to help Ukraine, writes Global Times. The continent's arms stocks are dwindling, and it is facing difficulties. The volume of aid may be sharply reduced, experts warn.

Representatives of the Israeli Defense Ministry announced a series of joint air exercises with the US military, during which simulated strikes against Iran and its regional allies will be carried out, The Times of Israel writes.

Retired US Colonel McGregor said that Ukraine will not be able to win

Before the start of the special operation, Washington exaggerated the power of America and Ukraine and downplayed the advantages of Russia, writes retired US Colonel McGregor in an article for TAC. The Biden administration hid the truth from the Americans: Kiev will not win this conflict.

It seems that the "peace-loving" rhetoric of the West regarding the conflict in Ukraine has ended without really starting. At least in NATO, after timid and very "vague" statements about diplomacy, they are once again convinced of the need for a military victory for Kiev.

It turns out that Budapest's strained relations with Kiev did not develop yesterday. Since 2017, Hungary has vetoed the participation of representatives of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry in all meetings within the framework of the work of the Ukraine—NATO Commission above the level of ambassadors. It was this year that the law "On Education" was adopted in Ukraine, according to which schools and higher educational institutions should gradually switch to full teaching in the Ukrainian language. The law, which allows studying other languages, except the official one, only as an additional discipline, was called "shameful" in Hungary.

The US Navy Command is closely monitoring the expansion of a key contract for the study and development of new equipment and technologies for its future fleet of unmanned surface vehicles. They have been trying to implement this task for more than a year. This project is useful not only for the US Navy, but also gives the industry the opportunity to get direct access to research and development work done, let's say, in the bowels of the department itself.

Missiles of air defense systems (air defense) are ending in Ukraine, according to Western experts. NATO officially declares that it is considering the possibility of new supplies of air defense systems to the Kiev regime. What kind of systems can we talk about and why won't they save Ukraine from Russian missile strikes anyway?

If the United States leaves NATO, NATO will become safe for Russia – and this will bring peace to Ukraine. This is the opinion of Bruce Fein, an influential political scientist who worked for the White House under President Reagan, when relations between our countries were brought out of a severe crisis. Now it won't succeed. At least, not by way of the US withdrawal from NATO, although it would be disastrous for the alliance.

Analysts have warned Europe's industry that the crisis it will face this winter will not end with the end of the cold weather. At least two more difficult years are waiting for her. Many companies in the EU will become unprofitable due to expensive energy resources. They will be forced to either close down or move production to other countries. Where will European industry move to and how many years will it take to deindustrialize the EU?

The Pentagon may start supplying Ukraine with cheap and non-burdening US military arsenals in the spring. We are talking about aerial bombs that can be launched from the ground using rocket engines from the same HIMARS installations. Their range is 150 kilometers. What do these Pentagon statements mean and how dangerous are the bombs promised to Kiev?

The head of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Reznikov announced the receipt of new MLRS from France

Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov wrote that the Ukrainian Armed Forces received multiple rocket launchers LRU from France. Paris promised to hand them over to Kiev in October in the amount of three pieces. LRU are actually copies of German MARS II installations that Ukraine has already received. Military experts agree: a small number of French vehicles will not significantly strengthen the Ukrainian rocket artillery. In addition, they have limited capabilities for use and have already been destroyed by Russian troops.

The head of the NSDC Danilov asked Western countries for missiles with a flight range of more than 800 km

Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Oleksiy Danilov wrote on Twitter that it is not generators and transformers that will help solve the energy crisis in the country, but missiles with a range of 800 km and above. "Newspaper.Ru" tells what kind of long-range missiles the West has and to which Russian regions they can hypothetically fly if deployed in Ukraine.

Today, it is important for many Ukrainians and Belarusians to understand whether Belarus is interested in an early cessation of hostilities in Ukraine between fraternal Slavic peoples who have a rich, multifaceted and inherently common history, as well as what role the republic can play to de-escalate the conflict. 

The American leader noted that this issue causes controversy in Washington
