The first Lend-Lease weapons will arrive in Ukraine very soon


Today, October 1, 2022, the law on lend-lease for Ukraine, adopted in the United States, came into force

Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Ruslan Stefanchuk recalled this on Twitter.

"Today, the US law on lend-lease for Ukraine came into force. This means more weapons of different and high quality. Ukraine will definitely return all its territories," Stefanchuk said.

iT would be easy to underestimate Valeriy Zaluzhny. When not in uni￾form, the general prefers Tshirts and shorts that match his easygoing sense of humor. When he first heard from aides to Ukrainian President Volody￾myr Zelensky in late July 2021 that he was being tapped to lead the country’s armed forces, his stunned response was, “What do you mean?” As it sank in that he would become commander in chief, he tells TIME in his first inter￾view since theRussian invasion began, he felt as if he had been punched “not just below the belt but straight into a knockout.” George Patton or Douglas MacArthurhe is not. Yet when the history of the war in Ukraine is written, Zaluzhny is likely to occupy a prominent role. He was part of the Ukrainian brass who spent years transforming the country’s mil￾itary from a clunky Soviet model into a modern fighting force. Hardened by
years of battling Russia on the eastern
front, he was among a new generation
of Ukrainian leaders who learned to be flexible and delegate decisions to com￾manders on the ground. His dogged preparation in the run-up to the inva￾sion and savvy battlefield tactics in the early phases of the war helped the na￾tion fend of the Russian onslaught.

“Zaluzhny has emerged as the military
mind his country needed,” U.S. Gen￾eral Mark Milley wrote for TIME of his counterpart last May. “His leadership enabled the Ukrainian armed forces to adapt quickly with battlefield initiative against the Russians.”

This kind of thing should wait until the end of the war. It can cause jealousy among his staff and it makes the general look like an attention-seeker.

second week into the war i basically cut myself off from listening to the Russian side of the war. Basically just listening from neutral or pro Ukrainian sources, insanely enough the war has and is going exactly according to how that side reported the war.

One thing I learned early about Russia and their supporters, is that everything is a lie and everything is propaganda. When you listen to their side of the story all that happens is you are deceived or influenced to think in a way that is far removed from the reality as possible.

In many ways they remind me of how Armenia behaved during the recent war, everything was a victory until the day they surrendered. I still remember the hologram they had claiming hundreds of downed TB2's hundreds of destroyed tanks etc. All cheap propaganda and lies.

A day into this war the Russians were claiming to have destroyed the entire drone fleet and airforce of Ukraine before it had even a chance to get in the air. That's the level insanity and absolute bullshit the Russian side projects.

You listen to the Russian side and all they do is blur the image. I pay absolutely no attention to what they have to say, its all bullshit.

"One guy had obviously stepped on a mine by the side of the road. One leg was gone at mid-thigh, the other one was broken lower down and his foot was backward. He was trying to crawl somewhere on one good knee, trailing flowing blood out of a busted artery. Unless he got help quick, he was gone. He was talking calmly in Russian, saying over-and-over, “I will be home soon mother.”"

Maybe the most frustrating thing about war is the billionaires who cause these wars will never ever fight these wars.
