"Ukraine is struggling to replace battlefield losses with conscription, barely hitting two-thirds of its target. Russia, meanwhile, is replacing its losses by recruitment with lucrative contracts, without needing to revert to mass mobilisation. A senior Ukrainian military commander admits that there has been a collapse in morale in some of the worst sections of the front. A source in the general staff suggests that nearly a fifth of soldiers have gone AWOL from their positions."

@nikola_mikovic: The rate of advance is increasing, and the manpower situation is not improving for Ukraine. The trajectory isn't sustainable without changes.

@nikola_mikovic: The war isn't sustainable for Russia either at this pace, but I think it is more acute for Ukraine.

RT @HthHans: People are discussing ways for Europe to get its act together on defence (should have been done long time ago). However, as Europe with Orban and the south is less likely to agree on much, we in the North should put our efforts into further developing the JEF-pillar in NATO https://twitter.com/JEFnations/status/1815314411218690474#m

@HthHans: Exactly. We have a good foundation to build on with JEF and perhaps others can be brought onboard too. Specifically, I'm thinking about Poland.

@Wolltigerhueter: Very slow, but significant nonetheless. And it isn't certain that the Trump admin will immediately scrap this either.

RT @USN_Submariner: We will put 40 cruise missiles on Block Vs but still call them SSNs because we are free men.
but sir, aren't those SSGNs?
No, SSGNs are only former SSBNs
but we will name them states like the others, right?
Some... but others will be fish, cities, a SECNAV, & an island.

@HN_Schlottman: Norway is the only exception.
We have never been at war with Russia and eastern Finnmark was the only territory the Soviets voluntary withdrew from in 1945.

RT @AlexHortonTX: Update to this story: Pentagon officials told reporters the maintenance agreement would include Patriot systems. That is inaccurate, they now say. Repairs will focus on air defense systems broadly

U.S. will send contractors to Ukraine to help fix its weapons
U.S.-made F-16 fighter jets and Patriot air-defense systems are among the equipment in Ukraine requiring defense contractor support, the Pentagon said.
