Russia once again uses phosphorus as a weapon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Russia has resumed using phosphorus, video<\/a> showing how it is used against the city of Kostiantynivka. Phosphorus is disgusting even if it is not quite as horrendous as thermite. Phosphorus is not allowed to be used as a weapon and definitely not against residential areas where civilians may be present. It is permitted to be used in tracer ammunition and flares or to generate smoke in smoke grenades, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hungary now positive towards Ukrainian EU membership<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ukraine has signed an agreement concerning the protection of the Hungarian minority in the country, which in turn has led Hungary to announce that they will not block Ukraine from becoming an EU member. This may also be related to the Druzhba pipeline now being restored so that oil exports from Russia to Hungary and Slovakia have been able to resume. Hungary has also indicated that they may be willing to host peace talks between Ukraine and Russia.
Relations between Hungary and Ukraine have rapidly improved since Orb\u00e1n lost the election. This can only be interpreted as it was he, and not the Hungarian population, who sided with Russia. Although Magyar has previously stated that they are not willing to provide weapons and money to Ukraine, as long as they do not otherwise oppose Ukraine, it is much better than before.

USA may approve 8 billion USD for Ukraine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the USA, despite opposition from Trump and his administration, a proposal regarding continued support to Ukraine amounting to 8 billion USD was advanced. The motion to proceed with the bill was passed with 218 in favor and 204 against. Six Republicans broke party lines and sided with the Democrats.
The process was long blocked by Mike Johnson, who as Speaker refused to bring up the issue (which is not the first time for those who remember the 50 billion USD he blocked for over half a year while Biden was president), but now it has finally been possible to move forward, though it must be approved by both the House and the Senate to become law. Since Trump became president, US support for Ukraine has decreased by 99%. Read more here<\/a>.

8 billion USD is significantly more than the 400 million previously budgeted, although of course much less than under Biden, and the question is whether it will really pass both the House and Senate; it requires some Republicans to dare to oppose Trump for it to happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
