“Vladimir Putin has been laughing at us and about us. When we confiscate his $350 billion, he won’t be laughing anymore.” Putin’s fear of losing the war in Ukraine is larger than the war itself, his personal fortune and his power in Russia

Dear attendees!
Ladies and gentlemen!
Dear Mr. Prime Minister, Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada! All our guests!
Dear Ukrainian diplomats!
Today we have convened for three reasons.
First, of course, is gratitude. Today, on Ukraine’s Diplomatic Service Day, on behalf of all our people, our entire Ukrainian society, I thank you – the entire Ukrainian diplomatic community – for your work in the interests of the state of Ukraine, in the interests of our people. Everyone knows their own results.
All those who are effective for the sake of Ukraine, all those who add – and this is important – to Ukraine’s strength every day, all those whose ideas have worked and whose energy opens up new opportunities for Ukraine, whether in the diplomatic service system or outside it, but as Ukrainian representatives, our missions... I am grateful to all of you and congratulate you on your professional day!
The second thing that is important to say today is our joint achievements. Ukraine has really done a lot over the past year. In many areas. [excerpt]

The Japanese government has decided to transfer interceptor missiles for the Patriot missile defense system to the United States to replenish American stockpiles, a decision welcomed by the White House.
This was stated on Friday by National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, according to Yevropeiska Pravda.
“This decision will contribute to Japan’s security and to peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region by ensuring that the U.S. military, in close cooperation with the Japan Self-Defense Forces, continues to maintain a robust deterrence and response capability,” Sullivan said.

He added that President Biden “highly appreciates and supports the leading role” played by Japan.
The Japanese government on Friday eased strict rules on defense exports, allowing Japan to make its first export of lethal military equipment next year, The Japan Times reported.
Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s administration explained that the transfer of defense equipment has become an important political tool both to “deter unilateral changes to the status quo by force and to create a desirable security environment for Japan.”
“By taking such actions, we would like to contribute to the defense of a free and open international order based on the rule of law, as well as to the achievement of peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region,” Kishida told reporters on Friday.

The changes, recommended last week by a group of lawmakers, come as Japan plans to export Patriot missiles to the United States at Washington’s request to help it replenish its stockpile of weapons depleted by military aid to Ukraine.
To this end, for the first time since 2014, Tokyo has revised the rules for the transfer of defense equipment and technology adopted in 1976, allowing the export of finished defense products, including lethal weapons, manufactured in Japan under a foreign license to countries that hold patents for this equipment.
Previous directives allowed exports to the United States only of licensed components, such as engine parts or missile guidance equipment, and permitted the transfer of non-lethal assets and locally developed technology, such as Japan’s supply of patrol ships and early warning radars to the Philippines.

Tokyo has made it clear that the upcoming delivery of missiles for the Patriot is intended only to replenish U.S. stockpiles and not for further transfer to third countries. However, according to the revised framework, licensed military equipment can also be transferred to third countries if Tokyo agrees.
This means, for example, that Washington could potentially transfer Japanese-made Patriot missiles or other licensed weapons to European countries, provided that the recipient countries are not officially at war.
While this prohibits missile transfers to Ukraine, the changes made by Tokyo will give Washington and Europe more flexibility when it comes to bolstering Kyiv’s air defense.

“If Japan transfers its PAC-3 missiles to the United States and Washington exports the (missiles) it already has to Ukraine, it could indirectly support Kyiv without affecting the US air defense capabilities,” said Masashi Murano, a research fellow at the Japan Department at the Hudson Institute in the US. He added that after the exports to Washington, Japan’s domestic missile production will likely be rapidly expanded to fill the gap. Source:

Russia has resorted to costly human wave attacks around Avdiivka to take advantage of Ukrainian ammo shortages
Never ends post after post of spam. How this is allowed to carry on here is beyond me.
None of it true. LOL Oh well.
Tokyo Rose would be pushing Russian propaganda, not supporting the American/NATO efforts in aiding the decline of the Russian threat to us.
Why Ukraine Won’t Be Able to “Dig In”
- After the defeated 5 month Ukrainian offensive and with admissions in the Western media that Ukraine’s cross-river offensive in Kherson is a failure, a growing number Ukrainian and Western military and political leaders are talking about Ukraine going on the defensive;
- Ukraine seeks to build Russian-style defensives along the line of contact and use 2024 to build up combat power;
- The main problem facing this strategy is that Ukraine has already in many places dug in since as early as 2014 and yet Russia has been able to overpower and displace Ukrainian forces regardless;
- ussia’s successful defeat of the 2023 Ukrainian offensive was owed as much to its superior firepower as it was to the construction of defensive positions;
- While Russia will not be able to conduct “big arrow” offensives without suffering heavy losses for the same reason Ukraine cannot, the existence of mines covered by artillery, FPV drones and other systems that can target Russian forces as they attempt to breach minefields;
- Russia can continue its war of attrition while placing growing pressure all along the line of contact and exploiting anywhere opportunities begin to form;
- Western commentators continue to interpret the conflict in mere 2 dimensions rather than the 4 dimensions actually required to understand Russia’s long-term strategy and why it has worked;
- The 4th dimension being time, it is important to understand what Ukraine’s combat power will look like a year from now following concerted Russian efforts to target and irreversibly diminish specific capabilities (like air defense, artillery, counter battery fire, and military aviation);
