The package will come from the $4.2 billion usd worth of Presidential Drawdown Authrority that President Biden's government has remaining. The full contents of the package have not yet been released, but this is what we so it will consist of so far...

- 155mm artillery shells
- 15mm DCIPM Cluster shells
- 105mm artillery shells



Denmark 🇩🇰 announced a new, $337 million usd aid package for Ukraine today. Contents of the package include the following...

- CAESAR 155mm self-propelled howitzers, purchased from French defense contractor Nexter.

- 120mm self-propelled mortars systems.

- 155mm artillery shells purchased as part of the Czech 🇨🇿 led initiative.


Meanwhile, Poland 🇵🇱 has announced that they have joined the Czech 🇨🇿 led initiave to purchase 800,000 artillery shells for immediate transfer to Ukraine. Poland did not disclose the quantity of shells that they purchased, but a Government spokesperson noted that the quantity is significant.


The Czech Republic 🇨🇿 have also uncovered an additional 200,000 artillery shells for sale on the international market, and are currently in the process of lining up a buyer for the shells, among allies to Ukraine. 18 countries were involved in the initial purchase of 800,000 155mm and 122mm artillery shells.

Belgium 🇧🇪 is pushing the EU to vote in favour of releasing up to 3 Billion Euros worth of interest produced from frozen Russian assets to Ukraine, in July of this year. While the EU has not yet committed to confiscating more than 190 Billion Euros worth of Russian money that are stuck in Europeans banks, they are leaning towards sending the interest made off of those funds to Ukraine for its war effort.

By 2027 the interest profits will reach 20 Billion Euros, all of which could be released to Ukraine to support the nation both militarily and macro-financially.

Ukrainian kamikaze drones attacked the Russian oil refinery in Ryazan of the Ryazannefteprodukt company. A total of 3 drones took part in the attack; judging by the video, it seems that the drones did not strike at programmed coordinates, but were controlled manually. As a result of the drone strike, a fire started at the oil refinery, two petroleum products processing units caught fire, the fire area was 150 square meters.

ruzzians bought flowers for woman day.
How much money they spend?

Six billion dollars of our men’s money for these flowers flowed to The Netherlands
- ruzzian State Duma deputy Oleg Nilov accused everyone who bought flowers by March 8 of financing an unfriendly country.


Also there is another FACT.
Many ruzzians keep buying flowers for graves of ruzzian rapist and murders dead in Ukraine
Most of this flowers are caming from Netherland

Footage of the destruction of two Ukrainian Mi-17V-5 helicopters; previously the US planned to transfer helicopters to Afghanistan. The helicopters were destroyed in the Novopavlovka area in the Dnepropetrovsk region at a temporary site. First, the helicopters were hit, presumably from a 300-mm MLRS, with 3B30 cluster munitions and 9M55K5 missiles. After the helicopters were immobilized, the attack was carried out by two missiles from a Su-34 aircraft, this was reported later. As a result of the attack, 2 Mi-17 helicopters were destroyed, the third flew away. 2 pilots were killed, according to Ukrainian media.

Today the European Union 🇪🇺 agreed to top up the "Ukraine Assistance Fund" with another $5.5 Billion usd for the 2024 fiscal year. This funding is seperate from the 50 Billion Euro package that the EU passed at the beginning of the year.

The Ukraine Assistance Fund servess two purposes.

1. It can be used to buy weapons directly from European manufacturers, to provide direct military support for Ukraine.

2. It can be used to reimburse European countries that agree to send existing military hardware in their inventories to Ukraine.

Russia 🇷🇺 has halted the export of all gasoline and diesel products for 6 month period, starting March 1st. The reason this is happening is that Russia fears domestic gasoline and diesel shortages that would drive up prices substantially, to the point that the impoverished Russian population would not be able to afford them.

The reason that a shortage is feared is that Ukraine has systematically targeted Russian refineries and associated infrastructure using long range drone strikes, taking an estimated 15% of Russia's refining capacity offline for extended period of times. This problem will only worsen for Russia as Ukraine procures an increasing number of long range drones. If Ukraine can take 25-30% of Russia's refining capacity offline, they'll start to face serious problems and gasoline/ diesel exports will have to be halted for the foreseeable future.

This is how you win a war. Russia exported 35 million tons of diesel fuel last year and 4.8 million tonnes of refined gasoline. If Ukraine can continue to devastate refinining capacity in Western Russia, the Russians will not be able to export any diesel or gasoline and all associated revenue will be lost.

electronic warfare works.

CANBERRA — While some facets of age-old conflict have carried on into modern war, the head of the British army said that with the fight in Ukraine, the military world is witnessing what could almost be described as a “Cambrian explosion of autonomous systems” and the stunning proliferation of countermeasures used against them in real-time.

It is an “extraordinarily progressive and an almost revolutionary change in some of the character of war,” Gen. Patrick Sanders, chief of the General Staff, told an audience at a CSIS event Tuesday. “Now, not all of them are working effectively. Up to 80 percent of the drones during one period recently, simply were not getting through because of an extraordinarily contested electromagnetic spectrum and effective Russian use of electronic warfare.”

Russian ISR is getting better every day as we speak. I don't recall anything like this before.

Eventually, I think there will be a time in 1-2 years where Russian ISR will be so much improved, that Russia could send their Kalibr and Iskander accurately, in time, anywhere in Ukraine within an hour of being spotted.

And due to that, there will be times when the Ukrainians will have to move their jets and air defenses more and more to the rear. And the consequence will be painful. UMPK will likely even be more accurate at those upcoming times, and probably better ranged as well. Flying uncontested a single SU-34M could devastate an entire defensive lines, and a flight could destroy an entire fortification network.
