EU to deliver over 1 million shells by end of year

The EU aims to deliver over 1 million #shells to Ukraine by the end of 2024, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said after meeting the EU's top diplomat, Josep Borrell, in Kyiv on Feb. 7.

Borrell recently conceded that the European bloc will fail on its promise to provide a million #artillery rounds by March. Only around half of the number is projected to be delivered by the original deadline.

"We highly appreciate the EU's military assistance," said Shmyhal, who held a joint press conference with Borrell.

"The European defense industry is building up its capabilities, and I'm sure we'll feel it soon."

The main points from Putin's interview to Pavel Zarubin:

▪️ About #depleted #uranium #DU #shells for #Ukraine:

Shells with such uranium do not belong to the category of weapons of mass destruction, but they generate radiation dust and pollute crop areas. Russia has something to answer - we have hundreds of thousands of such shells, but so far we have not used them.

▪️ On tactical nuclear weapons in #Belarus: We agreed, without violating the START Treaty, to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus. On July 1, the construction of a storage facility for it will be completed there. This is not unusual - the United States has been deploying nuclear weapons in NATO countries for a long time.

▪️ About the talks with Xi Jinping:
The leader of #China is well prepared, it was interesting to talk with him, he knows the details about his country and the world economy. Xi Jinping paid much attention to Beijing's #peace plan for Ukraine. But the main focus of the talks was on the economy.

▪️ About the terrorist attacks on Nord Stream:
The president fully agrees with the conclusions of journalist Seymour Hersh about the involvement of the US intelligence services. #Denmark responded in a streamlined way to Russia about a joint survey of the Nord Stream lines, that it does not need help, and even now this survey no longer makes sense

▪️ About analogies between pension reforms in #France and #Russia:
In Russia, all preferential early retirement regimes have been preserved, but not in France, citizens there consider this approach to be excessively harsh. But the protests in France are an internal affair of this country.

"Depleted uranium has for decades been used by NATO, and was known for being used against Serbian forces in the late 1990’s, as well as in Iraq. It is two-and-a-half times denser than steel, and thus can penetrate armor, for example it can cut straight through tanks.

China has previously condemned the use of depleted uranium by the Western alliance:"

#LogarithmicSpirals are found in many aspects of nature such as in the growth of #snail #shells and the form of #spiral #galaxies. They have a lot of interesting #geometric properties and this #animation highlights just one of them. It shows that the #PolarAngle (here denoted as ⍺) is constant, being the angle that the #tangent of the spiral makes with the tangent of any circle centred at the origin.
