. It would be easy to overlook this single photo of a mysterious #Ukrainian #drone that was shown on a Russian Telegram channel. This drone crashed in the Belgorod region and there are a number of interesting details.

Ukraine funding bill moves closer to passage

The U.S. Senate voted Friday evening local time to move the $95 billion aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan closer to being passed in the upper chamber despite Republican objections. Votes were split 64-19 with only 14 Republicans voting in favor.

Despite Russia's claims, there were no Ukrainian prisoners of war on the downed Russian Il-76 transport plane that crashed on Jan. 24, National Security and Defense Council Secretary Oleksii Danilov told Babel in an interview that was published on Feb. 9.

"I can definitely tell you that our prisoners were not there," said Danilov during the interview……

It's just too neat.

If it had been genuine, you would expect to see some traces of the obliterated RDAF serial.

Why does this matter? We know the aircraft and training exist, whether this picture is real or not.

More details on the new head of the Ukrainian military. You cannot fault those credentials.

Totally agree, cut of his supply routes. Russia only has limited routes in to sustain their campaign.

Not sure of the logic or utility of this - may be being misreported.

If the US doesn’t want to supply anything then NATO can’t force their hand, more likely to incline Trump, if elected, to leave NATO.

Seems to just add another level of bureaucracy and possible vetoes into the system.

NATO wants to take over coordination of arms supply to Ukraine to outwit Trump in the event of his presidency - Handelsblatt, citing sources in diplomatic and political circles.

"This is actually a change of course, because previously the bloc did not interfere in the supply of weapons to Ukraine and considered it a matter of bilateral agreements of individual NATO countries with Kyiv."
