Did you people saw Russian demands? Fakin crazy, almost 50% of Ukrain gone. Ukrain will turn in a country without coast.

Fight untill the end Ukrain!!!

How much room for negotiation is there in end when fascist tyrant bully came in stating a "de nazification" purpose on you?

The bully thought this is over quickly and now that it is not....has to contend with severe loss of face....something bullies absolutely hate.

The bully was basically extremely stupid announcing that as the "all in" purpose....leaving no quick option to exit if Ukraine showed spine and did not fold.

Forces arraigned against this bully now have to chip away at the bully's bluff...and give him several bleeding wounds till he whimper away.

Ukraine will have to see this through by making Russia bleed a whole bunch and wait for the pressure of that to rebound into larger Russia....so that larger Russia take action on this punch drunk bully that made this crap decision.

Hopefully God willing..... Ukraine prevails, they certainly deserve to.

Slava Ukraini

Even if they get these planes...aren't they very very old?

Something is better than nothing (especially if well backed by supporting weaponry and NATO AWACs link).

Every bit counts.....ukraine has lot of good pilots without planes right now. Have to use that resource to the max.

TL;DR no large stocks of Precision guided munition.

They really didnt think things through enough....or invest enough for this kind of war....

Wanted a quick fold by their version of shock and awe.....

This is what happens when you are oligarch energy economy grown too addicted to nuclear deterrence and brandishing as be all end all.

There is not enough core competencies in a large domain of things that exist below the nukes.

Every indication says a whole lot of disinformation is coming in from the Ukrainian war theaters. I mean if Putin was losing so many soldiers, wouldn’t ordinary Russians be incensed and angered as they lose their fathers, sons, and husbands by the thousands? There are right wing Russian skinheads in large numbers for sure and they would be out on the streets of Moscow urging Putin to go all out, as Putin starts playing the victim game and using their anger to rally for his cause. But nothing of that sort is happening. The fog of war is starting to spread and as usual truth has become the first victim. But I a, beginning to think the Ukrainian claims are more propaganda aimed at demoralizing an occupying force and less to do with actual casualties. The snake island disinformation is a clear indication that the west is using “righteousness“ propaganda against Putin. Russians are typicall crude operators and lack the propaganda finesse of the west. Unable to counter, Russians may see such propaganda as a giant plot against Mother Russia - or at least Putin could twist it that way. At that point, it is anybody’s game and the world would slowly get setup for WW3.

Funny how your post is about supposed Ukrainian propaganda yet you can't understand the concept of Russian propaganda. Russian public thinks the war is going great, and if their son is dead he died fighting "Nazis", and if any of the parents are angry, they aren't gonna open their mouth because Putin's gestapo will come and arrest them like they did to around 1000 anti-war protesters.

In terms of announced military aid for Ukraine, since the outset of the conflict, this is what I've totalled to this point.

USA: $350 million dollars in undisclosed military aid, as a followup to previously announced military aid, that arrived prior to the start of conflict. Likely javelins, stingers, ammunition and other, unknown weaponry.

United Kingdom: An undisclosed amount of additional military aid, after sending 2000 NLAW anti-tank systems previous. One can assume that the next shipment will consist of more NLAW type weaponry, as well as stinger missiles and ammunition. Britain also announced a $500 million dollar loan to Ukraine.

Sweden: 5000 anti-tank weapons, as well as 5000 helmets and 5000 bullet proof vests and 135,000 field rations. They will also sending $52 million dollars ($500 million SEK) to the Ukrainian military.

Finland: 2500 assault rifles, 150,000 rounds of ammunition, 1500 anti-tank weapons, 70,000 rations, 2000 helmets and 2000 bullet proof vests.

Germany: 1000 anti-tank weapons and 500 stinger missiles, 5000 helmets.

Netherlands: 50 anti-tank weapons, 400 rockets, 200 stingers, 100 sniper rifles, 35,000 rounds of ammunition, radar and mine detecting equipment.

Poland: 28 Mig-29 fighter jets and an undisclosed amount of ammunition of varying types, which has already been received.

Czech Republic: 30,000 pistols, 7000 rifles, 3000 machine guns, an undisclosed number of sniper rifles and ammunition, as well as 4000 artilery rockets and fuel.

Slovakia: 100 air defense systems and 486 combined air defense and anti-tank rockets. They are also sending 12000 rounds 120mm ammunition and millions of litres of fuel.

Canada: 125 anti-tank weapons and 2000 rockets. $7.8 million dollars worth of machine guns and ammunition, $25 million worth of helmets, body armor and night vision goggles, as well as a $620 million dollar loan to the Ukrainian government.

Australia: $70 million dollars to NATO, earmarked for missiles and bullets of undetermined types.

Portugal: G3 rifles, ammunition, bullet proof vests, helmets, night vision goggles, radios and grenades of an unspecified amount.

European Union: $450 million dollars of military aid, currently of undisclosed amounts and types. One can imagine that this will be an extensive suite of advanced weapons and hardware.

Turkey: While not officially announced, I think we can all read the room. They're providing MLAL to keep Ukraine's Bayraktar drones operational. I'm sure they're sending other supplies as well, quietly.

Greece: Kalashnikov assault riffles, ammunition and missiles of an unknown quantity / type.

Belgium: 200 anti-tank weapons, 3000 assaults rifles and 3,800 tons of fuel.

Norway: 2000 anti-tank weapons.

Romania: $3 million euros worth of ammunition, bullet proof vests and helmets.

France: Has committed to sending military weaponry for Ukraine, however, has not disclosed what it will send.

Forgive me if I've missed anyone, but this appears to be what has been announced thus far, after looking all around the internet.

One can only wonder if it will be enough to make make the cost high enough for Putin to retreat at some point during the campaign.
