There is stuff that Belgium had promised 1000m € bill.

If they really will sign this bill, there will depend what they will do with this....
In best case might happen that they will start to deplete stockpiles....
They had produced a lot of ammo for small arms, hand grenades etc stuff during Cold War and they does have also ammo for automatic grenade launchers....
 
10 April 2025.
Only six Western countries—including the UK, France, and the Baltic states—are currently willing to deploy troops to Ukraine as part of a post-war peacekeeping mission. NATO remains divided on the idea, with many members hesitant due to unclear mandates and fears of escalating tensions with Russia. The U.S. has not committed to the plan, and key nations like Sweden and the Netherlands are seeking more clarity. Russia has strongly opposed any foreign troop presence in Ukraine, viewing it as a direct threat.
 
No end in sight.

ISW, 11 April 2025.
Key Takeaways:
  • Kremlin officials continue to demonstrate Russia's unwillingness to make territorial compromises in Ukraine in a future peace settlement.
  • Russian authorities continue efforts to extract concessions from the United States as part of ongoing bilateral US-Russian negotiations while delaying progress towards peace in Ukraine.
  • Ukrainian sources continue to speculate about which directions Russian forces will prioritize in Spring and Summer 2025. ISW is updating the axis sections in its Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment to reflect shifting Russian operational efforts along the frontline.
  • Russian forces recently advanced near Kupyansk, Siversk, Novopavlivka, and Velyka Novosilka.
  • Russian opposition media provided additional details regarding Russia's efforts to recruit Chinese citizens to serve in Ukraine following Ukrainian reports about Chinese nationals fighting in Ukraine.
  • Ukrainian Army size and casualties on the battlefield continue to be confidential information.
 



A large UFO flying over Moscow an their missile and air defense did not stop it.

Wait for it.



Wait

Wait

Ukraine flying Object lol
 
Looks that enough signs are showing that Putin is ready to continue this war.
He is reported that small special operation is going as had been planned.

They are tasting and probing all frontline and looks that now aren't concentrated only on dumbass region...
More looks that they will attempt to grab land in any area ...more = better.

Additionally : they are increasing propaganda for recruiting campaigns etc....
 

German weapons reveal flaws in Ukraine battlefield fight​


12 April 2025.
  • Russia’s defense ministry said air defense units destroyed 13 Ukrainian drones within a span of 30 minutes late on Friday. The ministry said that between 10-10:30pm local time (19:00-19:30 GMT), nine drones were destroyed over Russia’s Rostov region on Ukraine’s eastern border, and four in the Kursk region on Ukraine’s northern border.
  • Military analysts believe Russia is preparing to launch a new military offensive in the coming weeks to ramp up pressure and strengthen the Kremlin’s hand in ceasefire negotiations.
  • Russia has rejected a US-backed proposal for a 30-day unconditional ceasefire and appears to be dragging its feet on a more limited truce in the Black Sea agreed last month, analysts said.
  • A reduction in the number of US soldiers in Eastern Europe would be seen as Washington moving another step closer to Moscow and a worrying sign for Europeans, according to analysts. The NBC news channel, quoting US and European sources, said this week that the US Department of Defense was looking at the withdrawal of 10,000 troops from Europe.
  • President Putin announced billions in investments for the rearmament of his country’s navy. “In the next decade, 8.4 trillion rubles [around $97bn] are earmarked for the construction of new boats and ships for the navy,” Putin said at a meeting on navy development in Saint Petersburg, according to Russian news agencies.
 


Ukraine loses an F-16 and a pilot while Russia loses 1,000 troops in a month.

"Another" = the second,
At this rate, without additional replacement, Ukraine will run out in about 50 years

🤣
50 years?
You must have failed high school math. Not surprising.

Math question:
If Ukraine has seven (7) F-16 fighter jets, and it lost 2 in 6 months, how long will it take Ukraine to lose the other 5?
Answer: A little over a year. 1.3 years.
 


Drones shutdown Moscow airspace.

Yup, if promised airplanes will be delivred.
Most likely european countries will continue to send promised old F-16 ....
One from factors delaying shipments is U.S : their production rate of F-35 they had contracted to sell is lesser than demand.

The same Belgium had promised batch with old F-16, yet had delivered 0 because slow deliveries of F-35 for Belgium ( they does have sales deal ).

None of this matters.
You are still wrong as always.
Ukraine now has only five (5) F-16 fighters in service.
Nice try...

"The F-16 training coalition is an international coalition formed on 11 July 2023 with the task of training F-16 pilots, technicians, and support personnel for the Ukrainian Air Force."

So, training = more F-16s?
Pledging to give Ukraine F-16s by another country does not equate to Ukraine getting them. 5 countries total. They are all either pending or partial delivery. Ukraine will be lucky to get half of what was promised. Also, who shot down the latest F-16? Was it the Russians or friendly fire by the Ukrainians?
