" I find it quite natural that Ukrainians are interested.
After all, there were reactions in the media where the situation was a bit exaggerated.
But if the title "fighter jet" is on display at all, then of course they will follow what is happening in Finland or elsewhere "
"Quite a lot of military experts present equations and views, even technical ones, which are a bit difficult to follow for ordinary people.
They inevitably understand that it's not a simple matter: that now we're just letting used-up fighters straight to battle"
"There would still be a lot of time to discuss the issue, as the first fighter jets will be given up in the next 2–3 years at the earliest.
The most worn-out fighters will certainly be taken out of service first."
"Instead, I think it is necessary to make it clear that if we were to hand over the fighters that are in operation and those that are needed here, I would not be involved in anything that endangers Finland's defense capabilities"

According to the information obtained by Finnish media Helsingin Sanomat (HS), Ukraine has submitted a request to Finland for trilateral discussions on fighter jets between Finland, Ukraine and the United States.
Situation in #Bakhmut is pretty much the same as it has been for at least a week now.
Wagner is bashing it's head against the Ukrainian defences, achieving minor gains now & then, AFU conducts local counter attacks.
Street fighting continues in southern suburbs.
AFU again conducted successful small scale counter attacks in the direction of Chasiv Yar to push the enemy further from the road, defence of Ivanivske is holding.
Frontline is very fluid on the open terrain south of Ivanivske.
Battle is raging on the highland areas northeast of Bakhmut, Wagner is trying to advance towards Orikhovo Vasylivka, Hryhovivka & Bohdanivka in their attempt to bybass the strong defences around Bakhmut.
Seems that Wagner has made some progress in this area.
According to the Constitution of Finland every Finnish citizen is obligated to participate in national defence.
Every male Finnish citizen aged 18-60 is liable for military service, and women can apply for military service on a voluntary basis.
All males are liable to report at the drafting event (Finnish: kutsunnat, Swedish: uppbåd) of their municipality of domicile in the autumn of the year they turn 18.
The Finnish Defence Forces sends the youth an official invitation to the event along with an information package.
The reinforcements that Ukraine sent to Bakhmut seem to have stabilized the situation, no proof of any new russian advances during the last 24 hours, russian "pincer" is still around 5km wide.
Strategic bridges over the Bakhmutovka river are blown up, attacks are being repelled
Russians have not been able to physically cut the Chasiv Yar - Khromove road but it has reportedly been in the range of russian ATGM's for few days already. The bridge over the creek in the vicinity of Vosʹmyy pond was destroyed 2 days ago, not sure was it done by russians or AFU
There are reports that Ukrainians again conducted some succesful counter attacks in the direction of Ivanivske & managed to push the enemy further from the T0504 road.
Heavy fighting continues, russians throw everything into their attempts to break the line in Ivanivske.
