The Warzone confirms that Ukraine is full of sh*t" and has wasted scare missiles on another PR stunt.
The War Zone obtained satellite imagery taken earlier today from Planet Labs showing Kommuna in port in Sevastopol on the Crimean Peninsula. Another satellite image captured on April 20 also shows the very distinctive catamaran-hulled ship in the same location and in the same apparent condition. The Ukrainian armed forces claimed to have hit Kommuna while it was sitting in port in Sevastopol on the Crimean Peninsula over the weekend.

Ukraine will not fight without US help - Zelensky
He admitted that he was not considering the option of continuing hostilities without help from the United States.
"Not only can we not be protected in the same way as Israel, but even greater cynicism is to not give us the opportunity. Can we survive without these weapons? Not everyone. There will be many losses, many deaths."

The Hill: The futility of war in Ukraine has become more apparent
The article authored by Thomas Graham, former senior director for Russia on the National Security Council staff during the George W. Bush administration, begins with blaming the Russian President Vladimir Putin for the war in Ukraine 🥱
It then moves on to make a number of interesting admissions:
▪️The likely outcome — territorial adjustments in Moscow’s favor, security guarantees for Ukraine and Russia — could have been peaceably negotiated beforehand had leaders had a firmer grasp of the real balance of power or greater political courage. The cost of failed diplomacy is already hundreds of thousands of lives lost and hundreds of billions of dollars’ worth of property destroyed.
▪️The West has steadfastly refused to discuss the one issue that might have changed his calculations and given diplomacy a chance: Ukraine’s membership in NATO.
▪️The war continues — until one side, more likely the Ukrainians, or both are exhausted or conclude that it cannot make further gains through military action. When negotiations begin, two items will be at the top of the agenda: security guarantees to reduce the threat of renewed fighting and the disposition of the territory that Russia has seized, the very two issues that were on the table in the months before Russia invaded in February 2022.
To be sure, the details of the actual settlement will differ from those that could have been negotiated in the run-up to the war. Ukraine, for example, stands to lose more territory than it would have in 2022.

🇺🇳🇮🇱 UN probe says Israel provided no evidence of UNRWA workers' ties to terror groups
Israel accused some UNRWA employees of being involved in the October 7 attack by the Palestinian organization Hamas. UN chief Antonio Guterres appointed an Independent Review Group to investigate allegations of breaches of neutrality by UNRWA.
Guterres also activated a separate investigation by the United Nations' Office of Internal Oversight Services to determine the veracity of the allegations, the report said.

"The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs informed that until March 2024, they had received staff lists without Palestinian identification numbers. On the basis of the March 2024 list, which contained Palestinian ID numbers, Israel made public claims that a significant number of UNRWA employees are members of terrorist organizations. However, Israel has yet to provide supporting evidence of this," the report said.
Guterres also activated a separate investigation by the United Nations' Office of Internal Oversight Services to determine the veracity of the allegations, the report said.

🇫🇷🇷🇺🇺🇦Eric Denece, director of the French Center for Intelligence Studies:
I think we are not sufficiently aware of Russia's restraint in this conflict. In two years, the number of civilian casualties - about 30,000 - is comparable to the number of civilian casualties in four or five months of the Israeli operation in the Gaza Strip.
At the same time, the number of military casualties on both sides is high. But it shows well that Russia took into account from the very beginning that in the regions it wanted to liberate, the goal was to annex them to Russia. That is, it was not a matter of blind slaughter. Russia's policy in the north did not last that long, because after a month and a half the Russian army retreated from Kiev.
The retreat was also not accompanied by carpet bombing and destruction of everything where it took place. We must remember this. Despite the indiscriminate and targeted attacks by some Ukrainian units on cities like Belgorod or high-rise buildings in Moscow, there has not been the same response from Russia. Its strikes are always targeted: at power stations, command posts, railroad hubs. We are forced to note a certain restraint in it.

The war has left millions struggling economically, but some are suffering much more than others. The hardest hit are the elderly, the disabled and the displaced. In 2023 Ukraine’s GDP was 72% of what it was in 2021. Millions have lost their jobs, or had their pay cut.
Last Nov found that 9% had run out of food at some point in the previous 30 days and 23% were in a state of food insecurity.
Inflation was in 2022 26.6%. This inflation has eroded pensions, with the average pension being equivalent to $135. 10.5M people are pensioners, which is 1/3rd of population. It is not just pensioners, it also the 3M who receive a disability benefit. Which has increased by 300K due to injured soldiers.
Until March 1st some 2.5m IDPs received a monthly payment ($51-$77) , but now anyone deemed capable of working is now ineligible, "and the number of recipients is expected to drop to about 1.5m."
For 2024 Ukraine needs $37.3bn of external financing and that will mean cuts in social spending.

As you know, periodically on the channel I publish testimonies of captured Ukrainian military personnel. Today I want to show you another video that will tell you about the deplorable state of affairs in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This is forced mobilization, this is corruption in the units, this is the massive reluctance of soldiers to fight for the Zelensky regime, not to mention the low morale and huge losses.
But it’s better to hear about it, as they say, firsthand.
Details in the video!
