Reuters The Netherlands on Wednesday has handed over another three F-16 fighter jets to a training facility in Romania, where Ukrainian pilots and ground staff are being taught to fly and maintain the planes in battle. The Netherlands has been one of the driving forces behind an international coalition to supply Ukraine with F-16s to strengthen its air defense against the Russian invasion. Denmark, the Netherlands and the United States expect to deliver the first of dozens of F-16s to Ukraine within a few months after establishing the pilot training programme and donating aircraft. The Dutch had already delivered eight of the promised total of 18 F-16s to the training facility since November. They have also promised to deliver a total of 24 F-16s for use in Ukraine, with the first ones expected to arrive in the second half of the year, adding to earlier deliveries of the aircraft by the Danish armed forces.

Reko bih da nema tu djuveca, samo promaja. Inace je Johnson izgleda razdvojio glasanja za Ukrajnu, Izrael I Aziju, tako da ce svaki predstavnik moci da shodno uverenju ili uverenju glasa za pojedinacnu pomoc.

nisu bas svi odusevljeni Rusijom i Putinom u Slovackoj i ima ljudi koji se ostro protive Fikovoj i Pelegrinijevoj spoljnoj politici bbc A crowdfunding campaign in Slovakia to buy artillery shells for Ukraine has exceeded its target of €1m (£850,000), less than 48 hours after it was launched. The campaign is a response to the Slovak cabinet's refusal to join an initiative by the Czech government to buy up hundreds of thousands of shells for the Ukrainian armed forces. "We have to drive Putin out of Ukraine. We have to defeat him," said Otto Simko, a Holocaust survivor and veteran of the 1944 Slovak National Uprising against the Nazis. Aged 99, he helped kickstart the campaign to challenge the government's policy. "I lived through the Second World War. I fought in it. I can tell you there was no point negotiating with Hitler and there is no point negotiating with Putin," Simko told the BBC from Bratislava. "Remember [Neville] Chamberlain. His idea that offering Hitler the Sudetenland would bring peace - it turned out to be a complete illusion," he told the BBC. "Our government is doing exactly the same. Give him the Donbas, just as long as there is peace. Give him Crimea, just as long as there is peace. It's a complete illusion," he went on. "If we don't defeat Putin he will be a threat. Not for the two or three years that I have left on this Earth, but to my grandchildren and great-grandchildren, to Slovakia, and the whole world."

bbc Two alleged spies suspected of planning to sabotage German military aid for Ukraine have been arrested in the southern German state of Bavaria. They cite preparing explosive and arson attacks, especially on military and industrial infrastructure. Dieter S is said to have scouted potential targets including US military facilities, taking photos and videos and handing the information to the Russian contact.

Trump je koliko prosle nedelje izjavio da Johnson, po njemu, radi dobar posao. Da li je to mislio na onog starog Johnsona koji mesecima blokira pomoc Ukrajni, Ili ovog koji bi da salje lethal aid, nisam siguran. Republikanci okupljeni oko Marjorie Taylor Greene i dalje su protivnici slanja bilo kakve pomoci Ukrajni i spremni su da smene Johnsona. Glasanje ce biti izuzetno tesno i neizvesno do samog izjasnjavanja.

Zanimljiv grafikon, najmanje poginulih u obe godine je tokom avgusta meseca. Period najvecih borbi oko Bahmuta je vreme najvecih gubitaka. Zanimljivo da broj poginulih aktivnih vojnika konstantno pada od prvog dana invazije, a raste broj ovih 'unknown' vojnika. U medjuvremenu, Zelenski opet apeluje za pvo pomoc cnn A lack of air defenses meant Ukraine was powerless to prevent a Russian airstrike last week that destroyed the biggest power plant in Kyiv region, President Volodomyr Zelensky said. Russia fired 11 missiles towards the Trypilska power plant, Zelensky said. Ukrainian air defenses downed the first seven missiles, but the next four completely destroyed the plant. “Why? Because we had zero missiles. We ran out of all missiles,” Zelensky told PBS NewsHour in an interview that aired Monday. Zelensky has repeatedly warned allies that Ukraine’s air defenses are running perilously thin, as Russia has recently renewed its assault on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. Zelenksy said Iran’s thwarted attack on Israel demonstrated that Western countries were able to protect the skies of their allies. Iran fired more than 300 projectiles at Israel in an unprecedented attack over the weekend, but the attack was stymied with the help of US, UK, French and Jordanian air defenses. “Israel, by itself, wouldn’t be able to protect against such a numerous, powerful strike. And here, definitely, they used air defense and aviation, many things that, frankly speaking, Ukraine is lacking,” he said.

Same here ne bas 9 godina, ali 5-6 sigurno. prelistao sam poslednjih 5-6 stranca, vidim niko ne pominje Yellowstone, a seriju sam poceo da gledam na osnovu preporuke i za sada mi izgleda bas zanimljivo. Na drugoj sam sezoni, za sada malo slabija od prve, ali i dalje mi odlicno drzi paznju. Inace serija je vec po negde dobila skoro pa kultni status, vec je dobila dva spin off nastavka 1883 i 1923, koje nameravam da pogledam cim zavrsim originalni Yellowstone.

reuters China is backing Russia's war effort in Ukraine by helping Moscow in its biggest military buildup since the Soviet era, providing drone and missile technology, satellite imagery and machine tools, senior U.S. officials said on Friday. The Russians have likely used machine tool imports from China to increase its ballistic missile production, the officials said. They cited Dalian Machine Tool Group, one of China’s leading machine tool manufacturers, as one company supplying Russia. In 2023, 90% of Russia’s microelectronics imports came from China, which Russia has used to produce missiles, tanks and aircraft, the officials said. They said that Chinese companies such as Wuhan Global Sensor Technology Co, Wuhan Tongsheng Technology Co Ltd and Hikvision (002415.SZ), opens new tab are providing Chinese optical components for use in Russian systems, including tanks and armored vehicles. In addition, Russia has received military optics for tanks and armored vehicles that Chinese firms iRay Technology (688301.SS), opens new tab and North China Research Institute of Electro-Optics manufacture, they said. The officials also said China has provided Russia with drone engines and turbojet engines for cruise missiles, and that Chinese and Russian entities have been working to jointly produce drones inside Russia. Chinese companies are likely providing Russia with nitrocellulose to make propellants for weapons, helping Russia rapidly expand its capacity to make key munitions like artillery rounds, they added. The U.S. officials also said China is helping Russia improve its satellite and other space-based capabilities for use in Ukraine, increasing the Russian threat across Europe. And they said the U.S. has information China is providing imagery to Russia for its war on Ukraine.

bbc The head of Ukraine's military has warned the battlefield situation in the east of the country has "significantly worsened" in recent days. Fierce battles are ongoing in a several villages in the eastern Donbas region. Gen Oleksandr Syrskyi said Russia was benefitting from warm weather - making terrain more accessible to its tanks - and making tactical gains. In his update posted to social media on Saturday, Gen Syrskyi explained the situation on the eastern front had deteriorated as Russia intensified its armoured assaults. Gen Syrskyi said without fresh aid and sophisticated weapons Kyiv would be unable "to seize the strategic initiative" from the numerically superior Russian forces.

karikatura na plakatu je veoma ilustrativna i jasna svakom ko je iole upucen u 'problematiku'. sa te strane nemam problem, ali ova zelja da podeli opoziciju u ovom i ovakvom momentu mi budi i sumnju i strepnju.

Congress must let Ukraine win, say Barbra Streisand, Sean Penn, Imagine Dragons, Timothy Snyder and other luminaries Together we call upon Congress to do the right thing. Ukrainians are fighting for their existence. On territory that Russia occupies, it tortures Ukrainian citizens, kidnaps Ukrainian children and murders Ukrainian leaders. On territory Russia can reach with its weapons, it strikes civilians and rescue workers. Russian missiles, drones and bombs destroy churches and monuments to the Holocaust. Russian occupation threatens Ukraine’s Muslims, the Crimean Tatars. Russian leaders say openly that their goal is the destruction of the Ukrainian state and the elimination of Ukrainians as a people. Russian propagandists threaten genocide almost every day. Right now, Russia is using missiles and glide bombs to destroy the ancient and beautiful city of Kharkiv, once home to 1.5 million people, just as Russia destroyed Mariupol, Aleppo and Grozny. Ukrainians are also fighting for our safety and for everyone’s freedom. By resisting Russian dictatorship, they show that democracy can defend itself. By defending their borders, they are protecting the international order and holding off chaos. By fighting Russia alone, they protect Europe. By showing how hard offensive operations are, Ukrainians make a Chinese war in the Pacific less likely. By fighting a conventional war against a nuclear power, they are making nuclear proliferation and nuclear war less likely. The Ukrainian armed forces are defending basic American interests. They are doing things that Americans cannot do for themselves. By absorbing the entire Russian attack, they are making other wars in Europe impossible. They deter China without in any way provoking Beijing. By showing that a nuclear power can be resisted, they teach other countries that they need not build nuclear weapons. For two years, Ukrainians have protected us as well as their own people. Most Americans understand this, and want to help Ukraine. And most elected representatives do, too. But we are letting the Ukrainians down. It has been more than 470 days since Congress passed legislation to support Ukraine. That is most of the time since Russia invaded in February 2022. During the period of our inaction, Russia has reconstituted its army. It is preparing a new offensive, testing Ukraine across the front and illegally using CS gas to drive Ukrainian soldiers from their trenches. If Russia breaks through, this will be our fault. And then we will understand what we have lost. Everything that Ukraine is doing for us can be reversed. If Ukraine is defeated, we will find ourselves in a far more dangerous world. It will be a world where we can expect war in Europe and war in Asia. A world in which Russia can cut off the food to the Near East and Africa that Ukraine now supplies. A world without rules and a world full of nuclear weapons. And then it will be too late to do the thing that, right, now, is easy: help an ally that is in the fight of its life by passing legislation in Congress. Spend about a nickel of the defense department dollar, about a penny on the overall budget dollar, most of which, in any event, stays in the United States. We should not let our allies down. Around the world, everyone looking on believes that Ukraine is an easy choice for us. It is a democracy, and we claim to support democracies. Its soldiers are doing for us what we cannot do for ourselves. Ukraine is fighting by itself, and not asking for American troops. What America must do to support Ukraine is minimal. If we cannot keep to our commitments to Ukraine, no one will believe that we will support any of our allies in the future. That will lessen us, and create a world of war. And Ukrainians are impressive allies. They are fighting well across a very long front. They have cleared the Black Sea of the Russian navy, allowing Ukrainian agriculture to feed the Near East and Africa. They have developed and deployed their own weapons. They are doing everything humanly possible, and taking painful human losses every single day. But they need things that only we can provide to keep up the fight. Ukrainians are giving us a chance. A chance for Americans to do the right thing, for them, for us, for decency, for humanity. Ukraine can protect itself and bring stability around the world. If we allow Ukraine to lose, though, we are inviting catastrophe for them, and catastrophe for ourselves. Congress returned to session this week. Time is short and new dangers can arrive very quickly. Together we call upon Congress to do the right thing – right now. Support Ukraine.

Pricali smo ovde ranije o Indijcima koji su trazili poslove u Rusiji, a onda su poslani u Ukrajnu na front. Sad je izasla cela prica sa svim detaljima, pa ostavljam ovde link kog zanima, samo da znate da je ovim obelezena cela reportaza - Warning: This article contains details some readers may find distressing. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-68767470

o kojoj hajci prica Savo Manojlovic? ima li neki link, neka naslovna strana, bilo sta da potkrepi tu pricu o 'hajci' u rangu informera ili pinka? ko je objavljivao privatne fotke i u kom kontekstu? znam da zvucim kao Kostunica, ali meni nista slicno nije 'iskocilo' ovih dana.

To je, na zalost, samo tvoja projekcija i wishful thinking, jel mozes da zamislis nekog slovenackog/ceskog pro EU politicara da ne sme da zucne na ono sto Kinezi rade u Boru, Smederevu ili u Linglongu? Ili da upotno okrece glavu od Ruske agresije, stanja demokratskih procesa i, recimo, sudbine Navalnog? A oni upravo rade ono sto vecina naroda podrzava i gledaju da se tom vucicevsko/dacicevskom birackom telu nikako ne zamere. Sta je tu 'sustinska promena'? Pri tome ne bih imao nikakvih problema da ih vidim u opozicionom bloku koji hoce da srusi SNS vlast, ali ne kao nekog ko zagovara podele i svadju pre nego sto se padne ovaj rezim. Do tada svako soliranje meni previse lici da rade na 'daljinski upravljac' koji je kod ko zna koga u dzepu.

I nisu bas mladi, niti su neki neznamkakvi intelektualci, niti imaju dobre rezone borbe, a posebno ne zele sustinske promene, jer im agenda podseca na SNS kad su osvajali vlast. I sta je problem 'cika Kristofer', ako nisi u stanju da zauzmes isti stav prema ruskom i kineskom ambasadoru? I jesu li oni zaista pobornici demokratije i demokratskih vrednosti ili su im u redu Putinov i Sijev rezim? Jel im problem da kazu neku rec o tome da li oni demokratiju vide na istoku ili na zapadu? U redu su im nacin vladavine Putina i Sija, a kao im se ne svidja Vucic koji pokusava da preslika ove autoritarne rezime. 'Zamlacuju' narod kao SNS jurisnici, a kao su za sustinske promene, 'oce to.

CNN “It’s important to specifically address the Congress: if the Congress doesn’t help Ukraine, Ukraine will lose the war,” Zelensky said Sunday during a video meeting of the Ukrainian fund-raising group UNITED24. “If Ukraine loses this war, other countries will be attacked. This is a fact,” he said. Franz-Stefan Gady, an associate fellow at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, told CNN the war in Ukraine had entered a “transitional phase.” “Russia is conducting probing attacks along the front line. It is trying to advance where it can. And it is preparing what seems to be a future offensive down the road,” he said. While European countries have tried to replace US aid, Gady said there was “no substitute” for the support Washington can provide. “This year, Ukraine really needs US support. There’s certain weapons systems, certain logistical support which the European countries simply cannot provide to Ukraine” such as air defense systems, he said.

Naravno da je zaokruzena I priblizna, jer se situacija svakog dana menja. Tih 40% posto moze biti na dnevnom, nedeljnom, mesecnom ili godisnjem nivou, u poredjenju sa proizvodnjom u rasponu od juce do situacije pred agresiju. Dobro je da ipak otuda imamo informacije, cak i sa ovako spustenom gvozdenom zavesom.

Nakon pobede Pelegrinija u Slovackoj na predsednickim izborima, Putin i Orban dobijaju novog saveznika u EU. Fico je ovim zacementirao vlast. Bas losa vest za Ukrajnu. bbc Mr Pellegrini, 48, defeated the pro-Western Ivan Korcok, a former diplomat, with 53% of the vote. A former prime minister, he is an ally of Prime Minister Robert Fico, and shares the PM's dovish attitude towards Russia. Mr Fico and his allies now control Slovakia's parliament, government and soon the president's office. Slovakia had been one of Ukraine's staunchest allies before Mr Fico came to power in October on a pledge to halt supplies of Slovak Army military stocks to Kyiv. With Mr Pellegrini replacing Mrs Caputova, Ukraine has now definitively lost a voice of support in an EU and Nato capital. Mr Fico has called for an end to Western military support for Ukraine, an immediate ceasefire and peace talks with Moscow. Mr Fico said recently President Vladimir Putin had been "unfairly demonised" and argued admitting Ukraine to Nato would mark the beginning of a third world war. Once Mrs Caputova steps down in June, there will no longer be any high-level official in Slovakia - a country which barely a year ago donated its entire fleet of MiG-29 aircraft to Ukraine - who unequivocally backs Kyiv's effort to defend its territory with force.

cnn The Ukrainians assert that morale is poor in enemy ranks. “They are ready to pay bribes, which is happening on a massive scale, injure themselves or simply run away to avoid the frontline, as the chances of survival there and the number of losses…remain sky-high for Russians,” according to Andriy Yusov, Ukrainian Defense Intelligence representative. But according to the UK’s Defense Ministry, Russia is able to replenish its front-line forces by 30,000 troops a month. Its military industries are working 24/7 to churn out everything from tanks to drones to guided bombs. US Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell said this week that despite immense losses, Russia had “almost completely reconstituted militarily” – possibly allowing it to intensify ongoing offensive operations. The Ukrainians see signs of that. Yusov told CNN that recruitment in Russia continues, for contract soldiers, prisoners and international mercenaries. That’s in addition to the spring draft just announced. Matthew Schmidt, Associate Professor in the National Security Department at New Haven University says that “Russia is pushing ill-manned, ill-equipped local offensives anywhere it can. But ill-manned with enough bodies might be good enough. Whatever NATO can get to Ukraine is enough to stabilize its position, not to change it meaningfully. The only variable that could (change it) is a major Russian mistake, and counting on your enemy to screw up is never a good strategy.”
