Pentagon: #Ukraine has received fighter planes & aircraft parts to bolster its air force. This indicates a change in #US attitude, which had initially refused to provide Ukraine w/ heavy armaments to avoid action #Russia cld consider direct involvement in the conflict.
The announcement comes a week after #US President @JoeBiden unveiled an $800 million military aid package for #Kyiv, including heavier equipment such as Helicopters, and howitzers (US army training the Ukrainians on their use), as fighting escalates in eastern #Ukraine.
It is unclear how #Ukraine manages to bring into the country jets, Helicopters, Howitzers and tons of military types of equipment if #Russia has the air dominance over the Ukrainian air space and adequate intelligence overseeing the ongoing war.
#Ukraine leaders should realise that #Russia is changing tactics and taking all gloves off also. No more real concern about Ukraine-Russia social links; no more concern about the infrastructure; no more advance without clearing the road first for the advanced troops. +
#Russia is setting up a realistic and achievable plan. This is why the new Russian military leadership is adopting a different approach. More troops are injected to meet the challenge swiftly. More troops will be freed after the fall of #Mariupol.
#Kyiv should prepare itself to negotiate seriously w/ #Russia, stop changing the already negotiated issues, accept to become a neutral country and stop asking for more weapons that will lead to the destruction of the Ukrainian army. This will happen, better sooner than later.
Did you know that the #US has deployed 150 nuclear bombs in Kleine Brogel in #Belgium, Büchel in #Germany, Aviano and Ghedi-Torre in #Italy, Volkel in The #Netherlands, and Incirlik in #Turkey?
Why do European leaders accept to host these bombs?
Directed towards whom?

#Finland: The parliament affirmative decision to join @NATO is secured even if the government doesn't need the parliament's vote. #Russia will have a new NATO base in a country with 1340 km joint borders.
Escalation is to be expected even after the end of the war in #Ukraine.
