The Ukrainian army continues to use limited aircraft in some places. A video of an operational airfield of the Ukrainian army created in the field in the area between Ivanovka and Ryasnopol in the Odessa region has appeared. It is possible that the spontaneous airfield has already disappeared, since Russian intelligence is working quickly. In the video, you can see three Ukrainian Mi-8 helicopters and one Mi-2 helicopter. The video also shows the combat operation of the Mi-8 helicopter of Ukraine, the pilots attack from afar, in the nose-up mode, just like Russian pilots do in Ukraine.

A new batch of Western weapons has arrived in Ukraine, a trainload of British Warrior MCV-80 armored personnel carriers has been spotted. Serial production of the BMP Warrior MCV-80 began in 1985. The armored vehicle is equipped with a 30 mm L21A1 automatic cannon, with which a 7.62 mm machine gun is paired. The Warrior BMP has a significant drawback - the lack of stabilization of the 30-mm cannon, because of this, it is advisable to fire while stopped. Despite this, Warrior in terms of reliability and survivability has proven itself well in the war in Iraq. Some versions of the armored personnel carrier were equipped with Chobham armor; there is a known case when such armor withstood 12 RPG hits in Iraq, but these versions were not delivered to Ukraine. Now the Warrior MCV-80 is in service with Britain and Kuwait, but is gradually being replaced by the German BMP Boxer. The speed on the highway BTR Warrior 75 km / h, cruising range 500 km. The crew of the BMP is 3 people, the number of soldiers transported is 7.

Summary of the speeches from Scholz, Macron and Draghi in their visit to Kiev.

Macron:

“Europe is at your side, it will remain so as long as necessary, until victory,” the French president said. Macron also used the visit to announce that France would send an additional six Caesar self-propelled howitzers to the Ukrainian military, adding to the dozen that have previously been sent.
“All four of us support immediate candidate status for membership,”

Draghi:

“Today is a historic day for Europe,” Draghi said. “Italy, France and Germany — three founding countries of the European Union — and the president of Romania have come to Ukraine to offer their unconditional support to President Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian people.”
“But Ukraine must defend itself if we want peace, and Ukraine will choose the peace it wants. Any diplomatic solution cannot be separated from the will of Kyiv, from what it deems acceptable to her people. Only in this way can we build a peace that is just and lasting.”

Scholz:

“Ukraine has been in a heroic defensive struggle against Russia for 113 days,” the German chancellor said. “For this, I myself and Germany pays you great respect. It is clear that this invasion of Ukraine marks a turning point, because Russia is trying to shift borders in Europe. This is unacceptable.”
“Germany has broken with a long state tradition,” he said. “We support Ukraine by supplying weapons, and we will continue to do so as long as Ukraine needs our support.”

Rhetoric and reality collide as France, Germany, Italy back Ukraine’s EU bid

In Kyiv, EU’s Big Three and Romania endorse candidate status but war shadows Ukraine’s aspirations.

I've mostly like Draghi words, that is a powerful message and what it should be. Let's see how much support would be given to UKR.

I do not understand the logic of the Europeans! they don't want to buy Russian gas because Russia occupies Ukrainian lands, but they don't mind buying the looted Palestinian gas, and tomorrow they may also buy gas from Greece coming from Turkish EEZ on top of that they are also happy to buy more expensive American gas.

That's it, the same question is now on Moscow desks, they prefer to get resources from Israel and even our ally Venezuela again!...

U.S. to let Eni, Repsol ship Venezuela oil to Europe for debt

Italian oil company Eni SpA and Spain's Repsol SA could begin shipping Venezuelan oil to Europe as soon as next month to make up for Russian crude, five people familiar with the matter said, resuming oil-for-debt swaps halted two years ago when Washington stepped up sanctions on Venezuela.

But what is the concept of boycotting russian gas? isn't occupying another country?

Europeans are the most hypocritical people on earth.

Yes politics are not so easy as it could look like.

Israel doesn't threatens EU security from an occupied piece of land in the baltics, in fact, Israel helps to provide better security to EU, so it's an ally.
Israel is a democracy and the issue between Palestine and Israel comes from many years ago without any realistic solution in the short term.

But in the full scale war launched against an European country, yes it has a realistic solution: to defeat Russian Federation in the battlefield and in the economic field.

So even when we can do simils between RF and Israel, maybe like they use white colors in their national flags, the reality is completely different.

That doesn't give you the right to buy looted Palestinian gas especialy when the UN consider it an occupied land, Just a few weeks you were complaining about Turkey buying looted grain from Russia, that doesn't make any sence just hypocrisy.

New photos show damaged Russian corvette after Ukrainian forces attack

New photos emerged early Friday on social media showing Russia’s Buyan-M-class corvette, reportedly the Velikiy Ustyug, “slightly” damaged in an attack by Ukrainian Forces off the Odesa coast.

The images show the Velikiy Ustyug corvette redeploying from the Azov Sea to Caspian for repairs. Apparently, the warship was seriously damaged due to artillery fire from the BM-21 Grad system in March.
The Buyan-M-class corvette (pr 21631) is armed with Kalibr missiles. The ships are primarily designed for operations within littoral zones to protect Russia’s vast coastal areas. Due to the small tonnage, they can operate even within shallow parts of oceans and seas and Russia’s river system.

Besides, the corvettes are armed with 100mm artillery guns A-190 and small-caliber antiaircraft artillery AK-630-2 Duet complexes. They also carry launchers of the Gibka 3M-47 complex. The length of the corvette is 75 meters, the displacement is 949 tons, the speed is 25 knots. Autonomous navigation is ten days, the range is 2.5 thousand miles. The crew comprises 52 men.

Some sources claim that the ship was damaged in an incident while mooring and is deploying to the Caspian Sea to participate in a naval parade.
Russian officials denied that one of its warships was damaged, but new photos confirm that the corvette received numerous shrapnel damage consistent with multiple rocket launchers.
Kremlin has repeatedly tried to hide the fact of the attack on its ships, including the cruiser Moskva.
