Is Ukraine about to have a war?
Pretty poor show by sections of the UK press today, plastering pictures of Natalia Voyk all over their front pages. She's been implicated by Russia FFS! Why do they continually amplify their propaganda BS??

The pontoon bridge the Russians are building, no point hitting it yet I suppose, let them expend energy, resources and time building it, before taking it out before it's completed.

French / German rivalry
Interesting article in today's Le Figaro,. It implies France will not want to be out spent by Germany. It would be funny if a Franco-German spending competition was added to the long list of Putain's achievements.
Obviously the data assumes all current German kit is a) decent, b) in working order.
Sorry but photo of the article won't load.

Ecce Homo! Loquitur...
Blaming the UK- makes me proud in a way that we’re still seen as such a Machiavellian threat, the same way Iran still sees us…
The Kremlin's mouthpieces blame Ukraine, Estonia and the UK for Daria Dugina's death, trying to use it to mobilize the population into what they call an existential battle with the West: "Prepare the bomb shelters... The time of peace has come to an end."

Move on, please.
Off thread, with apologies, just to set the record straight: BMW's New Mini Hatch, Coupe and Roadster are built in England at BMW's Plant Oxford facility, while the Hatch, Convertible and Countryman are assembled at VDL Nedcar in Born, The Netherlands.
Scholz has just announced the delivery of 3 x Iris-T AA systems and 10 recovery-tanks. Total value about E 500 million. No dates given. It might be coincidental, but these could not be described as offensive weapons: he still seems to sit on the fence.

His take is that there is no settlement in sight or under discussion and that both sides have upped their aims, so the prospect is for further escalation, with no obvious stopping point.
He sees the destruction of the Ukraine power grid as a likely first step..

I notice we haven't had any images of the Kherson bridge damage, it appears Russia has stopped sending out damage assessments for the west to assess.
