The EU needs to reform itself and get rid of the unanimity system. Decisions should require only a qualified majority (like at least 60% of countries representing at least 60% of EU population). The current system is broken. It is not meant for rapid decisionmaking required in times of war.

With this reform Romania would be in problems, like other minor countries

The US is betraying Europe as always. No surprise here.

Both belligerents have manpower problems, I think. The big rise in crude price with a US waiver on restrictions on Russian sales will be increasing Russia's revenue enormously. Some of that could be used to raise the premium paid to volunteers signing up. Bad news for Ukraine, at least in the short term.

Meanwhile the Belgium based division of defense giant Thales is ramping up production of laser guided, FZ275 rockets, which Ukraine uses as a cheap, accurate method of shooting down Russian made drones. Each rockets costs only $10,000 usd to purchase and the rockets are compatible with number of NATO launch systems, including the VAMPIRE system made by L3 Harris, rocket pods for NATO F-16s and Helicopters and has been adapted to Ukrainian MI-8 helicopters. Thales has now developed a 5 tube launch system that they have attached to a high maneuver vehicle and Ukraine has already tested units on the battlefield. LZ275 has a range of approximately 3KM and is an ideal, cheap and accurate system for combating Russian drones.

Thales is ramping up production of the LZ275 rockets from 3500 units annually in 2025, to 10,000 units annually by the conclusion of 2026.

Three Ukrainian army strongholds were struck by FAB-3000 bombs. Footage of strikes by Russian FAB-3000 aerial bombs near the villages of Kostiantynivka and Krasnyi Liman. The attack was carried out by a Russian Su-34 frontline fighter-bomber. Ukrainian units from the 60th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade and the 100th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade held the buildings in these villages. A FAB-3000 aerial bomb strike on a Ukrainian stronghold near the village of Ivanivka in the Dnipropetrovsk region is also shown. Judging by the widespread use of FAB-3000 bombs, the Russian army already has a surplus of them.

You know I had this internal debate of either Europe or the US assisting ukraine with their troops possibly later. But what i saw from the Iran conflict has proven to me now that this will never happen.

Right now its russia who is missing mapower to attack.

The only news sources I keep receiving is russia still in the gaining land phase, the middle of May the mud will dry up. Does ukraine have enough troops for another major counteroffensive?

And finally even russian admited that they lost at least part of "conquered" in December or November Kupyansk .
"Reports are coming from Kupyansk that enemy forces have advanced in the southwest of the city. As a result of their offensive, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have recaptured the area from Kharkivska Street (the western exit from the town) to the Oskol River.
