Other Europe has Ukraine to thank for A LOT. Now that the Russian bastards are escalating, we are in great need of their knowledge and abilities.
“The drone discovered at Leipzig airport shows that the German drone defense is completely inadequate. That is what terrorism expert Peter Neumann tells NTV.
He believes that Leipzig airport is a crucial hub for deliveries of support to Ukraine, and everything points to Russia being behind it.
– This cannot continue. We need functioning systems immediately.”

The ship Caffa from the Russian shadow fleet, which the Coast Guard boarded outside Trelleborg this spring, can be handed over to Ukraine. The Supreme Court has decided not to take up the case, which means that the Court of Appeal’s ruling stands, reports TV4 News.

Ukraine appears to have been informed of the decision already on Wednesday. In a post on X yesterday, Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha welcomed the verdict. He believes that the ruling proves that determined efforts by authorities and the judiciary can “turn the principle of accountability into concrete results.”

“This groundbreaking ruling creates an important precedent,” Sybiha writes in the post.

It is the first time a foreign court has made a decision to hand over a Russian ship linked to stolen Ukrainian grain to Ukraine, according to Kyiv Independent.

The USA has, as is well known, completely emptied their stocks during the war against Iran.

They come across as trigger-happy amateurs. How do they plan to handle a conflict with a more potent enemy like China? And what lessons will they later draw from the situation?
I think many of us believed they were much more competent!

Hegseth will probably be fired soon.

In reply to MXT.

So there has been a stop until now, I didn't think that.

Very good anyway that they are up and running again.

It probably doesn't cost many extra kronor to share information one already has, otherwise it might not have happened. Maybe Trump is starting to realize that Russia is not the US's friend considering their support for Iran.

A small step in the right direction at least.

AI summary in Swedish
The article draws parallels between the war in Ukraine and historical conflicts such as the American Civil War and the world wars to highlight the importance of adaptation, technology integration, and political leadership in prolonged wars.

Key points in the summary:
Military adaptation: Long conflicts require a steep learning curve where new technology (such as drones in Ukraine) must be effectively integrated with traditional military forces to achieve success.

Leadership and dismissals: Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has recently dismissed both his Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov and Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi following internal conflicts and public protests.

Historical examples: The article shows that it is a sign of strength, rather than weakness, to replace military leaders during ongoing wars. Leaders like Abraham Lincoln and Winston Churchill did the same before finding a winning combination of generals.

Democracy in wartime: Zelenskyy’s retreat and change of decisions after public protests show that Ukrainian democracy is still alive and functioning amid the ongoing war. The conclusion is that Zelenskyy needs to balance both modern high-tech warfare and traditional ground combat to reach the ultimate goal: victory.

The Russian missile attacks are putting heavy pressure on the Ukrainian port of Odesa, reports the BBC. When the radio channel visits the facility, the piers are empty, and the ships that were lined up to be unloaded before the war are nowhere to be seen.
Russia has significantly escalated its attacks on Ukraine’s shipping. According to the Ukrainian port authority, civilian ships were hit 57 times and port infrastructure 67 times, just last month.
According to the maritime newspaper Lloyd’s List, this makes July the deadliest month for civilian shipping so far during the war.
Port worker Svitlana Haltjenko tells the BBC about a low-intensity fear among her colleagues.
– A missile from the Crimean Peninsula reaches here in one minute. If you are sitting in a crane, you have three and a half minutes to get down and reach a shelter. There literally isn’t time for that, she says.
