Poland 🇵🇱 announced a new $210 million usd military aid package for Ukraine today. It's Poland's 46th aid package of the war. In keeping with tradition from the outset of thr war, Poland did not formally confirm what's in the package. It's most likely to contain the following, however.

- BMP-1 IFVs
- PT-91 / T-72 MBTs
- Artillery shells
- Air defense missiles
- MANPADS
- Drones
- Multi caliber ammunition
- Training for Ukrainian troops

Those are among the items that Poland has been sending Ukraine regularly since the outset of the war.

Ukraine has agreed on US minerals deal after Washington dropped its toughest demands. The agreement looks fine. It will enable Trump to claim a win, and potentially improve the relationship between the current administration and Ukraine's government.

Summary:
- Kyiv is set to sign a deal to jointly develop natural resources, including oil and gas, after the US dropped its claim to $500 billion in potential revenue from their extraction.
- The final version of the agreement envisages the creation of a fund into which Ukraine would transfer 50% of the revenue from the future monetization of state-owned mineral resources, including oil, gas and infrastructure related to their extraction.
- The funds from this fund will be directed towards investment projects in Ukraine itself. However, existing assets, such as those of Naftogaz and Ukrnafta, are not covered by the agreement and will not be included in the fund.
- The document makes no mention of security guarantees from the US
- It remains unclear what share of the fund the US will receive and what the terms of the “joint ownership” of the resources will be, these issues will be determined in upcoming agreements.
- Ukrainian officials said that the deal has already received approval from the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Economy and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, and also allow for the possibility of Zelensky visiting the White House in the coming weeks to sign the agreement with Trump. “This will be a chance for the president to discuss what the bigger picture is. And then after it, we will be able to think of the next steps,” said one official.
The US has already given security guarantees to Ukraine once (1994) in exchange for its nuclear disarmament. But that memorandum was written on a napkin and used for its intended purpose.
Does anyone still believe in the guarantees of the World Hegemon?
Treaties are no longer binding. The world is turning into a jungle.
Sadly, the US has put more effort into this than anyone else

We clearly see that when i big state wants to get something from a small state, other big state wont do shit as long as it gets its share. Nobody cares what happens to the small state or its people.

Footage of the attack of the Russian FPV drone "Prince Vandal Novgorodsky", controlled via fiber optic cable, on the Ukrainian armored personnel carrier VAB. The video was filmed near the village of Nikolsky, Kursk region of Russia. The VAB armored personnel carrier has been produced in France since 1976. In the Ukrainian army, the VAB armored personnel carrier was additionally equipped with lattice protection of the "Tsar-mangal" type. Judging by the video, as a result of the strike of the FPV drone "Vandal", the VAB armored personnel carrier was destroyed. The fate of the crew is unknown.

Ukrainian servicemen showed an M113 armored personnel carrier with additional lattice protection of the "Tsar-mangal" type. This type of protection helps to resist drone attacks. M113 armored personnel carriers were developed in the United States in 1957 and are now widely used in the Ukrainian army. M113 armored personnel carriers are also used by the Russian army.

Ukrainian losses are lower. But since Ukraine population is 4.5 times smaller than Russian, Russia has the upper hand in attrition war.
I love how all the big Ukrainian twitter accounts, politicans and even news media outlets are too scared to address most of what J.D. Vance said. Like no one wants to say he is wrong, claim their proofs probably because consistently pushing him he might reveal the actual losses of the war.

No idea if you have a brain but the side that keeps getting surrounded on all sides and with 10 times less the firepower is not winning or having lesser losses. Some of those Ukrainian soldiers dont look like rambos to me.

Edit: French being French. https://t.me/lastoppo/8038
Russia must guarantee the safety of French peacekeepers in the Ukraine - Macron

In an interview with TF1, Emmanuel Macron said that Russia is obliged to provide security guarantees for the French peacekeeping contingent in the Ukraine.

"Moscow must give absolute guarantees that no Frenchman will be put at risk in the Ukraine. We must have sufficient time to withdraw people if hostilities resume. This is the main condition."

Agree, Europe need to get shit right and really start to help Ukraine to destroy russia

No good mentioning Turkiye when your bloc has been arming terrorists to undermine that nation. No good mentioning Turkiye when your bloc was siding with russian backed armenia against Azerbaijan. No good mentioning Turkiye when your bloc has unilaterally supported every single greek transgression against Turkiye from Cyprus to the sea of islands. No good mentioning Turkiye where in every single conflict between Turkiye and Russia, Europe sided with Russia.

No, Turkiye must play and behave like typical Europeans when it comes to Europe. Combat Russia where it makes sense then to support Russia where it makes sense, even if it means selling them weapons in the future. If down the line Russia starts to carve up Europe, then the Turks must take their share of the pie.

Its a shame really, such a big and important nation like Turkiye was constantly prejudiced by the EU. Who can remember that extra clause they placed in where even if the bloc accepted Turkiye, every nation would hold a separate independent referendum on Turkish ascension. And should one vote no then Turkiye cannot join.

That even reminds me in Libya, what these EU k'nts do. They tried to combat Turkish weapons to the legal government while allowing the Russian backed hafter to get whatever he needed. When you see these european leaders together, they are for the most part all frauds. All it in for themselves and themselves only. We saw this during covid when half of europe was stealing each others covid aid.

Where is the security guarantee,without it you have no peace?
If Trump gets what he wants why dont you get what you want?
How can you see this as a win for Ukraine?
''Working with Ukraine'',what does that mean?
The Trump administration is not as friendly to Ukraine as the Biden admin, what we primarily want from the Trump administration is to stop hindering Ukraine. There are still around $20 billion worth of USAI (weaponry manufacturing placed with the US defense industry) from the Biden administration that will be manufactured and sent to Ukraine over the upcoming years. We don't expect security guarantees, but we do expect continuation of weapons. On the other hand, a vengeful Trump administration could stop weapons sales and deliveries to Ukraine.

I don't think there will be a ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia. The war will continue. So we need to ensure consistent weapons deliveries and decent working relationship with the current administration. In this agreement we get an improved relationship with the Trump admin, while not giving up anything valuable (read the terms of the agreement). Ideally Trump's interest now moves on from Ukraine to some other subject, now that he can claim to his voters that he has secured their money sent to Ukraine.

Jesus I am about to commit murder here.

Hard for Europe to help ukraine destroy Russia when the europeans are too scared themselves to deploy troops without daddy USA helping.
Remember Putin's words? I think they were something like the europeans will wag their tails and bow their heads like dogs to Trump. Trump liked his quote on social media. Europe has this grand talk about deploying peacekeepers but Starmer, Macron and Duda did exactly as Putin said and that was bowing down to Trump's feet and wagging their tails where the owner of the dogs being Trump tells them no.

The reason the Europeans beg to Trump is simple, the U.S. military is the strongest military in the world and they have the best intelligence around the world. If you come begging to the U.S. 1st that tells me Europe can't handle Russia alone in other words forget Ukraine until they reach their final mobilization law soon to 18 years of age. That is weakness to the eyes.

The Trump administration is not as friendly to Ukraine as the Biden admin, what we primarily want from the Trump administration is to stop hindering Ukraine. There are still around $20 billion worth of USAI (weaponry manufacturing placed with the US defense industry) from the Biden administration that will be manufactured and sent to Ukraine over the upcoming years.

This is not good cop vs bad cop between administrations. Biden and most of the top democratic politicians have scandals involved in Ukraine and the 1st thing Trump is planning to do I heard is to release the pedo Epstein island client list which also involves politicians. I am receiving news today that Ukraine will never join NATO along with Trump being against the idea of peacekeepers in Ukraine. Ukraine has yet to comment if they have received weapons from the Biden administration. The Biden administration has also wasted billions on useless programs like transgender clinics in India and DEI hiring to other countries, how do we know if the Biden administration has also not wasted billions of dollars on Ukraine? Vance literally admits Europe's situation and Ukraine and no social media big shot, politician or news media articles that I can find are trying to refute what he specifically said.

The war will indeed continue, but negotiations for Ukraine will be more and more difficult with whatever territory Russia will be grabbing. I am hearing that supply routes to Kursk will be closed because Russia launched an offensive from Sumy and that they are still grabbing territory which will further increase when the snow and rain will eventually disappear.

Can the Europeans stop humiliating themselves, and at least try to pretend they look strong to carry Ukraine to victory?

New footage of a Russian Iskander-M ballistic missile striking a Ukrainian S-300PS air defense system. The video was shot in a forest south of Sumy, Sumy Oblast, Ukraine. The S-300PS air defense system was developed in the USSR in 1982. It is worth noting that Ukraine can also use Slovak S-300PMU air defense systems. The strike was carried out by an Iskander-M missile with an air burst, as a result of which the missiles exploded in the Ukrainian S-300PS air defense system launcher. Officially, the missile guidance station was also reported to be damaged.

Footage of a strike by a Russian Iskander-M ballistic missile on a camouflaged Ukrainian army base preparing to launch 14 Cobra UAVs. Reportedly, 20 Ukrainian servicemen were preparing to launch the UAVs.
The Ukrainian Cobra kamikaze UAV has a range of up to 300 km and is often used to strike stationary objects. The Cobra UAV weighs 40 kg, has a payload of 15 kg, and can fly at speeds up to 150 km/h. It uses a two-cylinder engine. The UAV is difficult to control, but it can also fly according to specified coordinates. The price of a Cobra UAV is about $2,000. The video of the Iskander-M missile strike was filmed in the Sumy region of Ukraine, north of the town of Shostka. Note the field of fragments that forms when the Iskander-M missile explodes.

Top 3 militaries in the world must be completely on a different level to any ranking below them if European leaders keep being put in a humiliation ritual whenever they visit Trump.

Of course, later J.D. Vance was lecturing Starmer on free speech. I am sure this is going to be one of the last visits he might have to the U.S. regarding anything about the Ukraine war unless he is a masochist.

Footage of the use of the Russian robotic wheeled platform "Tarik" in battles in Ukraine. The homemade robot Tarik is versatile, it can lay mines, clear mines, attack and perform transport functions. It is also used to lay smoke screens, we showed this not long ago. The robot is armed with the RPO-A "Shmel", a hand-held jet flamethrower, information about it is on the channel. The ground drone is used to support the infantry, in the video the robot attacks a Ukrainian stronghold located in a forest belt near Katerinovka. After the robot's attack, the stronghold was captured by the infantry. The robot's attack during the offensive on the Ugledar highway is also shown.

Archival footage of an episode of Ukrainian special operations forces at work. The video was filmed in the fall of 2024 and shortened. The video shows an attempt by Ukrainian special forces to land in the Dnieper delta. The Ukrainian special forces were ambushed and fired upon from the shore, after which the Ukrainian unit was forced to retreat.
