"The US-Ukrainian military unity is slowly cracking."

This is how Politico described the disagreements that seem to be increasingly present between #Kyiv and #Washington in reference to the war.

They especially emphasize "how and when the conflict will end."

In addition, it can be read that the administration of US President Joe #Biden has notified the Ukrainian authorities that certain violent actions outside the territory of #Ukraine are unacceptable.

In addition, some officials consulted said that Washington has begun to worry that Ukraine is "spending so many troops and ammunition on #Bakhmut that it could undermine their ability to mount a major counteroffensive in the spring."

Despite this, the administration has stated that the US-Kyiv alliance remains strong and will last as long as the war lasts.

Eighteen people including #Ukraine's interior minister were killed in a helicopter crash near a nursery and a residential building in the town of Brovary outside #Kyiv on Wednesday morning.

Russian and Ukrainian forces fought for control of #Brovary in the early stages of the invasion until Russia's troops withdrew in early April

However, there was no immediate word on whether the crash was an accident or a result of the war.
The deadly incident came as #Ukraine edged closer to winning approval for German-made modern battle tanks to confront #Russia's invading forces,

#Fact Check: Are U.S. #Troops on the Ground in #Ukraine? YES!

source: https://www.newsweek.com/russia-ukraine-pentagon-weapons-biden-1756387

A Military.com report cited comments by Pentagon spokesman Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder that the inspectors would not be near the #frontline, and that "Ukrainians are working very closely with us to provide insight and tracking of those capabilities in places where it's not safe for U.S. personnel to go."

U.S. troops in Ukraine departed on February 14, 10 days before the #invasion, apart from those who provide security in the U.S. #Embassy in #Kyiv.

#Russia, #Iran defiant amid #UN pressure over #Ukraine #drones

source: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/10/20/russia-iran-defiant-amid-un-pressure-over-ukraine-drones

The United States, #France and the United Kingdom called a closed-door #Security Council meeting on the drones after an #attack on #Kyiv on Monday that killed at least five people, and caused widespread damage to power stations and other civilian infrastructure.

It's amazing that the U.S. bombed away entire wedding parties with its own drones and then called that collateral damage.

PORTABLE ANTI-TANK #weapons have proved highly effective in Ukrainian hands: since the outbreak of war six months ago, they have destroyed plenty of Russian armoured vehicles, helping to stall the advance on #Kyiv, the capital. At least a dozen countries—including #America, #Britain and #Germany—are sending them to #Ukraine. America’s latest package of support, announced on August 8th, includes both top-of-the-range Javelin launchers and AT4s, a simpler model. A single shot from the former costs about 100 times as much as one fired from the latter. As Western countries deplete their most high-tech stockpiles, they may be tempted to supply less effective but cheaper models. What impact might that have on the #war?

Why Ukraine’s supply of anti-tank weapons may tail off

Many are hugely expensive

To mark its first Independence Day since Russian President Vladimir #Putin sent his armies to conquer the country, #Ukraine is holding a ghost parade.
Khreschatyk Street, #Kyiv’s grandest boulevard, is lined this week with the carcasses of burned and battered Russian fighting machines, destroyed in Ukraine’s surprisingly robust defense against the invasion launched by #Moscow six months ago.
The “procession” of more than 70 treadless tanks and crumpled artillery launchers is a bizarre inversion of the triumphant procession Russian commanders had hoped to conduct through a captured capital.

On Independence Day, Ukraine celebrates statehood Putin failed to destroy

Under attack by Russian invaders and fearing new missile strikes, Ukraine celebrated 31 years of independent statehood that Vladimir Putin said never existed.

Throughout all of July, Europe’s six largest countries offered #Ukraine no new bilateral #military commitments, according to new data — the first month that had happened since #Russia invaded in February.
The revelation is a sign that despite historic shifts in European #defense policy — which have seen once reluctant countries like #France and #Germany ship arms to Ukraine — military aid to Ukraine may be waning just as #Kyiv launches a crucial counteroffensive.

Russia says it has destroyed HIMARS, Harpoon systems in Ukraine: Report

HIMARS
#Russia’s defence ministry says its forces have destroyed two United States-made #HIMARS rocket systems in #Ukraine’s northeastern #Kharkiv region, and a launch system for Harpoon anti-ship missiles in the southwestern #Odesa region, according to a report by the country’s Interfax news agency.

There was no immediate comment from Ukraine on the Russian defence ministry’s latest claim. #Al azeera was unable to independently verify the ministry’s report.

#Kyiv has hailed the HIMARS systems as a possible game changer for the course of the war. The advanced weapons are more precise and offer a longer range than other artillery systems, allowing Ukraine’s forces to strike Russian targets and weapons depots further behind the front lines.

Even though the Battle of #Donbas is far from over, #Ukraine is expected to open the next chapter of the #war sometime in the near future — a highly anticipated, major counter-offensive operation in the south, particularly to liberate the Russian-occupied city of #Kherson.
#Kyiv has declared its intentions to liberate the only regional capital captured by Russia following the Feb. 24 full-scale invasion.
Experts across the world agree that retaking Kherson is the most feasible way for Ukraine to score a major victory over #Russia and turn the tide of the war. As part of a counter-offensive operation, Ukraine would likely seek to block the occupied city, cut the Russian garrison off from supplies and reinforcements, and hold the blockade until Russia surrenders.
This would be a daring mission, demanding the most effective contribution of all components ranging from infantry to air defense and counter-battery activity.
Thanks to local terrain and Russian #military flaws, Ukraine's plan may in fact be realistic.
But in order to carry it out, Ukraine's military would have to demonstrate excellent coordination of war power and do the difficult #work of clearing the area of Russian forces, supply lines, and ammunition depots — before going in.
