Ukraine has welcomed a vote by US lawmakers to resume urgently needed military assistance. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the 61 billion dollar aid package gives his troops a real chance at victory on the battlefield.
Part of what Zelenskyy will use these American funds for, is fortifying Ukraine's borders. Drone technology has dramatically changed the battle for the skies and sea but on Ukraine's land border with Russia, the country's armed forces are focused on a far more traditional form of defense against a looming Russian offensive.

Probably a reason why they haven't taken Odessa yet. The pipeline would then go from Odessa and towards Poland. This area (yellow) should belong to the West.

The EU basically funds the entire Ukrainian government. We (the US) don't transfer much money to Ukraine, but nobody has the arms stockpiles we do. Our aid is critical for that reason, at least until Europe's munitions factories come online next year. We can be proud of our contribution, but let's not pretend our allies aren't doing their part. They are in fact doing more, even much more if we consider that transferring money out of the country hurts their economies, whereas what we do is barely noticable to us, because almost all our money stays in the US and just funds our manufacturing base.

PR-wise, what's the standard that they failed? They have re-invented the damn thing. Trump also is a showman, while Roman emperors ended up realizing that the emperor is an actor (Nero playing on the scene, Commodus in the amphitheater, Marcus Aurelius literally saying it as a philosopher.) - Putin politics is nothing but theater.

  • Ukraine had a president that _acting in good faith and in the best interests of the nation_ launched it on a course of solid growth and stability. This leader devoted much effort towards improving and prospering his country. People wished to be _entertained_ and sent him packing, voting for a _comedian_ who promptly manoeuvred to deplete the nation off its citizens so that he might turn this land¹ into a colony.² He staged a tragedy. No one is laughing. Their tombstone is inscribed with these words, sublime, yet profound: _They took the bait..._ _...and here defeated the folly of their delusion._ ¹ Ukraine: Land of milk and honey. _The plenty of game and fish, the innumerable bee-hives, deposited in the hollows of old trees and in the cavities of rocks, and forming even in that rude age a valuable branch of commerce, the size of the cattle, the temperature of the air, the aptness of the soil for every species of grain, and the luxuriancy of the vegetation..._ (A.D. 244 during the reign of Emperor Philip). ² The comedian’s objective: Assuming success, use of the land (that was _not_ promised to Ukrainians) is halted, housing prices skyrocket beyond reach with rent absorbing incomes, shunting the lifetime earnings of residents directly into the pockets of the chosen few, who, _laughing_ all the way to the bank, that without exerting any effort become rich beyond belief. After a lifetime of hard work citizens own nothing and die homeless on the street.

    • @@andriibakhtiozin4477 True! I think the issue before that is hiding them and keeping them secret so that the probability of them being bombed is much lower. As an example in WWII when the Supermarine factory was bombed in Southampton, Spitfire production was dispersed within weeks to small units instead of one location. Another example was that under the houses of parliament there was a factory producing navigation equipment that no one knew was there until years later after the war. I still don't understand why it's taking years and not weeks for factories to be set up to increase production, not just Ukraine but across NATO to.

    • @@Paul-yh8km I'm not sure about UK in WWII and how many German spies were in UK, but right now in Ukraine there are plenty sleeping agents and just soviet-lovers. They send information to their Russian leads on daily basics through different sources. Messengers, social networks, emails etc. It is extremely hard for military personnel to gather. Each month we have such news when missiles hit the funeral ceremony and killed 20+ people including soldiers, rocket hit hotel with drone makers conference, rocket hit restaurant with officers from different departments, etc. It is especially hard to control people movement and occupation right now because war and mass people migration. So hired Soviet lover from East could easily live in some small town in other part of the country constantly sending sensitivite data to Russians. It is a pity and shame

When one line is broken, a new line set up behind the other 2 or 3 existing lines. So long as Russia is unable to make any rapid advance (which they haven't in nearly 2 years now), any gain in ground will be measured in meters, no kilometers.
