RT @shashj: “Defence sources say that one option under consideration is sending British troops to Ukraine to help train their forces. Speaking to the BBC, Healey declined to give specifics.”

@GorakhIn @shashj: Little risk if the training program is carefully planned/located.
But why risk? Simple - because the defeat of Ukraine poses a greater risk to long term UK and Euro security.
This helps avoid a later war in NATO border countries where the UK would certainly have more casualties.

@Maks_NAFO_FELLA: Thank god they didn’t spend $150 billion because that would be too much escalation and would probably cause WW3.

@oroborous: It's the Chinese, as flag state, that's conducting today's inspection/investigation. The other nationalities are onboard just as observers.

International waters make the legal side complicated,so doubt anyone will be arrested today.

This is just a hunch, but I do doubt that the next merchant ship that drags its anchor across any sea floor infrastructure will be Chinese flagged.

@fbhenriknilsson @ITWorldPM: Most are increases in Shaheds due to them being shot down more when fired at low rates. Now Russia fires 50 to 100 Shaheds per day because the production rate increased due to the necessity of larger Shahed strikes and electronic warfare. Almost all Shaheds get shot down daily.

@TorbenAnschau @front_ukrainian: To say they need one thing more than they need another is a total losing strategy and has shown to be unsuccessful in the long run. Yes, Ukraine needs as many long-range missiles as possible, which they do not currently have and won’t have for a long time, to strike deep into Russia, where there are much less dense air defenses than in occupied Ukraine. The most densely packed air defenses are in occupied Ukraine of the ~120,000km2 of it vs the +800,000km2 of territory that those same air defenses would have to be allocated to if Ukraine was allowed to strike inside Russia with ATACMS, Taurus, SCALP-EG, and Storm Shadow with no restrictions. These excuses to keep restrictions and not send Ukraine enough missiles have led Russia to move most of their major ammo depots, military command centers, production, and fighter jets out of Ukraine into Russia while bringing their air defense systems into Ukraine and causing Western missiles to be shot down at much higher rates, and lesser important targets to be hit, while Western restrictions and weakness are protecting the more essential hundreds of targets in Russia.

Also, saying that one weapon won’t change the war is pretty apparent. Nobody claims that deep strikes into Russia will change the war, but without them, the war is also not winnable, and damage inflicted on Russia militarily, politically, and economically will be much less severe. Instead of making these excuses, provide Ukraine with the necessary aid and stop thinking Ukraine has or will ever have the necessary production or stockpile to defeat Russia or do meaningful strikes in Russia to win the war.

@WarMonitors: Just absolutely amazing. A terrorist country’s ambassador was killed that day.

RT @donikroman: 1. Одна з наших заслуг, (скромно так - крім багатьох інших) це те що в центрі нічого не робиться для показухи, "постанови", "для красоти" або "чинопочитання". Всі без виключення їдять з одного котла. Рекрут, інструктор, викладач, командир. Не тому що показушна псевдодемократія.
