Former-Army General and current President of Czechia, Petr Pavel stated today that he is in Support of discussions within NATO and with other European Countries about a “Coalition of the Willing” which would provide Ukraine with anything that it needs to Defeat Russia including the Deployment of NATO Troops into Ukraine in a Non-Combatant Role.
As to conscription: if you invest in good training, conscripted soldiers can perform well.

⚡️🇧🇬Bulgaria is taking out of conservation 122-mm self-propelled howitzers 2S1 "Gvozdika" and BRDM-2.
According to the Bulgarian photographer, military equipment is intended for the 🇺🇦Ukrainian Armed Forces.
"Military equipment of the Bulgarian army from the deep military reserve in the district is going to Ukraine," Tsvetan Aleksandrov said.

Doesn't sound good. They (Ruskies) must have had some intel. Another mole in the Zelensky camp?
A talking head on the Telly said something interesting, if the Greek PM had been injured/killed, could Article 5 be invoked? I looked at the charter (with the understanding there could be amplifying documentation that rules it out) but Article 5 is sufficiently ambiguous that an argument can be made for yes.
Had the Greek PM been a victim:
1 An attack in Europe. Yup.
2. While not in a NATO country, it would have been an attack on the head of state of a NATO country.
I think it would be a stretch to say the Greek PM getting whacked could lead to anything beyond strongly worded condemnation, but the language of the document is sufficiently broad that it could be interpreted as a trigger for article 5.
Anyone want to send their nation’s leaders to Ukraine with a GPS transmitter on their head to test the theory? I can think of a couple I’d like to send.

As reported, that article goes too far. They are not planning a re-introduction, they are studying it. As Pistorius says ( below ) the social and political case has to be made for it.

The Russians are slowing creeping ahead in some areas, but god they’re paying a heavy price. They’re still losing equipment at a rate vastly greater than their ability to bring them out of long term storage.
Yesterdays visually confirmed losses…

Westie ,would a past `POTUS` be OK to take-up on Zelensky`s invitation ,perhaps for a game of golf...?

Heck of a silhouette of one of the late crew, that’s one serious bang.
At least it was quick for most of them.

The bigger drones are reported to be reusable carrying their own torpedoes, missiles, ECM. e.g.
