EU will supply heavy weapons to Ukraine - Michel
мішель
European Council President Charles Michel admitted that the EU has agreed to purchase heavy weapons for free transfer to Ukraine.
He stated this in an іnterview with EP, reports Censor.NЕТ.
Michel said that the EU agreed in principle to supply weapons to Ukraine back in February, although at the beginning of the negotiations he was not sure of success.
"I remember very well when President Zelensky called me two days after the war started and asked me to coordinate the provision of weapons to Ukraine. It was a very difficult decision for the EU, we hadn't done that before. But we made it in a few hours!" - he noted.
The President of the European Council leads the meetings of the heads of state and the EU government and is responsible for preparing draft decisions of this institution.
"In the two months since then, we have already allocated (for non-refundable purchases for the needs of the AFU) 1.5 billion euros through the European Peace Facility instrument. And this is in addition to the support from many EU member states coming at the bilateral level. But this aid is not enough, and we will do more," Michel added.
"We need to supply you with heavy weapons. There won't be very much news about this due to security concerns. But we're sticking to our commitment to provide you with these weapons. That's the first thing. It's very important and very urgent," he concluded.

Capabilities in this package include:
  • 72 155mm Howitzers and 144,000 artillery rounds;

EU will supply heavy weapons to Ukraine - Michel

I would not be sure that the EU will do that, the EU knows that they will bring the war directly into the EU and that will have a big price.

Well Grandpa Joe can and will no longer think so much about what he risks with the weapons deliveries, it may come the day where Russia takes US aircraft and ships with these weapons in the target, how was that with the Slovak S 300 system they have given you? It was liquidated on the same day of arrival.

I leave you your hope that the weapons will bring you something, but they will destroy your country by the more and more.
If you don't want to do diplomacy, either Russia or Ukraine will be completely destroyed by the enemy. If Russia is destroyed, it will end up sending nuclear farewells to its enemies.
 
how was that with the Slovak S 300 system they have given you? It was liquidated on the same day of arrival.
Who announced this? Russian propagandists? Did they provide photo or video materials confirming the destruction of S 300? I highly doubt...

Logo for U.S. Department of Defense U.S. DepartmentofDefense

Q: Okay. So my other question has to do with claims by the Russian government that they have destroyed, I believe they said four air defense surface-to-air missile launchers, and suggestions that this was the Slovakian system that was moved in recently. Can you confirm either of those claims? And -- and more broadly, does it look like the Russians are attempting now to go more aggressively after Ukrainian air defenses? Thanks.
SENIOR DEFENSE OFFICIAL: Yeah, well, I mean, we've -- what we have seen and were able to confirm is that we did see an airstrike conducted at the Dnieper International Airfield yesterday. We do assess that it destroyed some airport infrastructure, but we have no evidence to conclude that they destroyed an S-300 system, and we have no evidence to conclude that it was, in fact, the Slovakian one. You've heard the Slovakian government came out and denied it, but that's about all we know right now, Bob.

British teach Ukrainian military to drive armored vehicles and use anti-aircraft missiles that will come to Kyiv - Johnson

mastiff,мастіф
Dozens of Ukrainian soldiers in Britain are learning to drive 120 British armored vehicles before returning with them to take part in the war against Russia.
This was announced by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson during his trip to India, as reported by Censor.NET with reference to Ukrainska Pravda.
The British military is also teaching Ukrainian colleagues in Poland how to use anti-aircraft missiles, the prime minister said, outlining additional details of Britain's military aid to official Kyiv's armed forces.
"I can say that today we are teaching Ukrainians in Poland the use of air defense, and in the UK the use of armored vehicles," said Johnson.

As the third month of Russia's invasion of Ukraine approaches, Britain and other Western countries have begun supplying Kyiv with standard NATO weapons that require short training periods so that Ukrainian soldiers know how to use them, the paper said.
This week, the Pentagon said it would teach some Ukrainians how to use the first batch of 18 American howitzers "outside the country" before the weapons could be used on the battlefield.
Both statements signal a step towards greater Western involvement in the war, which focused on supplying weapons to Ukrainian forces and applying broad economic sanctions against Russia.
Johnson's spokesman insists that teaching Ukrainians in the UK is not an escalation."What is causing the escalation is the actions of Putin and his regime in Ukraine. We are simply working with our allies to give Ukraine the best tools for self-defense," he said.
During a visit to Kyiv, Boris Johnson offered Ukraine military assistance in the form of 120 armored vehicles and new anti-ship missile systems to support Ukraine at this crucial stage while Russia's illegal offensive continues.

The Russian Federation continues to conduct full-scale armed aggression against Ukraine.
The enemy is conducting offensive operations in the Eastern Operational Zone to defeat the Allied forces, establish full control over the territory of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, and secure a land route between the said territories and the occupied Crimea.
The greatest activity of the enemy is observed in Slobozhansky and Donetsk's directions. Units of the occupiers are regrouping.
The enemy continues to launch missile and bomb strikes on military and civilian infrastructure.

In the Volyn, Polissya, and Seversky directions, certain units of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus perform tasks to strengthen the Ukrainian-Belarusian border in the Brest and Gomel regions. In order to clarify the position of our troops in the Sumy direction, the enemy used a drone from the area of the settlement of Glushkovo.
In addition, there is a threat of missiles and airstrikes from these areas. The enemy doesn't rule out provocations on the Ukrainian-Russian border, accusing them of representatives of the Ukrainian Defense Forces.
On the Tavriya and Yuzhnobuzhsky directions, there is a grouping of enemy troops, consisting of separate units of the 8th and 49th all-military armies, the 22nd army corps, the coastal troops of the Black Sea Fleet of the Southern Military District, and airborne troops. The enemy focuses its main efforts on improving its tactical position and maintaining the occupied frontiers.
To create favorable conditions for advancing in the direction of the city of Mykolayiv, the enemy is shelling the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. To increase the air defense system near the city of Skadovsk, the enemy unfolded a C-300VM battery.
In the Slobozhansky direction, groups of enemy troops continue to partially block Kharkiv and fire at it from barrel and jet artillery.
Separate units of the 1st Panzer and 20th All-military Army of the Western Military District, the 35th General Army, and the 68th Army Corps of the Eastern Military District and Airborne Forces are conducting offensive and assault operations south of Izyum.

Some of the propaganda boasts that Ukraine makes great weapons, but most of it is them begging or demanding weapons from other countries.

A supposedly great military wouldn't be out on the secondary market begging for weapons. And it is begging. They aren't buying them.

In fact, Zelensky is demanding CASH, weapons, and ammo for his "soldiers". But never anything for the people of Ukraine.

Anaconda that’s quite a tally for Russian losses .And what of Ukrainian losses. What be your estimated losses ?
 
16.04.2022
200= 2500-3000, 300= 10000
Difference thanks to NLAW, JAVELIN, BAIRAKTAR...
200 = 2500-3000 ? 300 = 10.000 That be only infantry and personal losses you mention ? You say around 10,000.killed from your side. I’m sure some of that high tech arsenal has been very beneficial as you say. But what of the future Anaconda. No matter which ever side wins a new beginning will dawn.

No. 200 - killed No. 300 - wounded
 
No. 200 - killed No. 300 - wounded
Well the less killed on either side the better. Sadly I do think the toll is much higher then the 300 dead you mentioned especially after nearly 2 months of war.. this cannot be reality. That’s a ratio of 63 Russian solders for every Ukrainian solder killed. Sorry my mistake you wrote 200 killed . That’s a ratio of a 100 Russian soldiers killed to every Ukrainian soldier killed

I'm hoping that with the recovered UK aircraft that they can start taking the war to Putin - start making highpoint scores that Putin can't hide from the people - the Russians and the allied Belarus have been randomly shelling & bombing residential areas >> some tit-4-tat is justified - hard to hide 2-3k civilians hit when a string of apartment buildings are rubbled - when it comes home to roost Putin's adventure could become his undoing ....

2500-3000 is the loss of the armed forces. Losses among the civilian population resulting from artillery shelling and air bombardment of cities are much greater, and depend on the intensity of the strikes. On average, this is 30 people per day (data for my city). Somewhere this figure is more somewhere less.

Operational information of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine regarding the Russian invasion as of 6:00 pm on April 24, 2022.
According to Censor.NET.
"60 days of heroic opposition of the Ukrainian people to the Russian military invasion continue. The Russian Federation continues to conduct a full-scale armed aggression against Ukraine.
The enemy is advancing in the Eastern Operational Zone to defeat the Allied forces, establish full control over the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, and secure a land route to the temporarily occupied Crimea.
In the Volyn and Polissya directions, the enemy did not take active action. Up to 7 battalions of the Belarusian Armed Forces continue to carry out tasks to cover the Ukrainian-Belarusian border in Brest and Gomel regions. Weapons and military equipment of the Eastern Military District, mostly damaged, are being exported from the territory of the Republic of Belarus to the Russian Federation via Gomel in the direction of Bryansk.
In the Siversky direction, the border service of the FSB of the Russian Federation continues to provide enhanced protection of the Ukrainian-Russian border in the Bryansk and Kursk regions.

Regrouping of units of the Central Military District from the areas of recovery of combat readiness to the eastern regions of Ukraine continues. From Kursk to Belgorod region, the enemy plans to move an anti-aircraft gun division from the 14th Air Force and Air Defense.
In the Slobozhansky direction, weapons and military equipment of the enemy are being transferred to the Kupyansk district. The occupiers continue to partially block the city of Kharkiv, trying to carry out fire damage to units of our troops and critical infrastructure.
There is an intensification of offensive and assault actions of enemy units in the areas of Pashkove, Dovhenke, and Velyka Komyshuvakha. The enemy was unsuccessful, suffered losses, and was forced to retreat to previously occupied frontiers.
In the Donetsk and Tavriya directions, the enemy is building up its command and control system and air defense. Continues to fire on the positions of our troops from mortars, artillery, and rocket-propelled grenade launchers along the entire line of contact. Inflicts airstrikes on operational and tactical aircraft.
In the Severodonetsk direction, the enemy tried to carry out assault operations in the direction of the settlements of Lyman and Yatskivka, but was unsuccessful. The occupiers established control over part of the village of Zarichne. The enemy tried to gain a foothold in the western, northwestern, and eastern parts of Rubizhne, but failed. He began advancing in the directions of the settlements of Orikhove and Nyzhne.
In the Popasna direction, the occupying forces tried to gain a foothold on the achieved frontiers. The enemy also regrouped and replenished its personnel and ammunition and prepared for further assaults.
In the Kurakhiv direction, with the support of artillery, the enemy attempted an offensive in the direction of the settlements of Novomykhailivka and Mariinka. He was not successful.

In the Mariupol direction, the invaders continued to fire and fight in the Azovstal area. The enemy inflicted airstrikes on certain objects of civilian infrastructure. The occupiers carried out assault operations in the direction of the settlement of Vremivka, suffered losses, and retreated to previously occupied positions.
In the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, the Russian occupiers are introducing measures restricting the rights and freedoms of civilians, including freedom of movement.
Ukrainian defenders hold the defense and inflict heavy losses on the enemy. Let's win together! Glory to Ukraine!", the statement of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reads.
 
For someone heavily engaged in a war and determined to kill all russians, he sure seems to have an abundance of time to post here. I was about to open a spreadsheet and graph all the active times to see when this person actually sleeps (let alone fights), but I decided it is not worth my time. Perhaps the forum moderators could code in a new statistics page that shows, graphically, posting activity vs time of day. Not to say this person is, but I have found a few bots on other forums that way.
