Australia is chipping in again, sending especially AA systems.

Leaders in support to Ukraine (relative to their size) are Germany, Poland and (especially) the Baltics. If all the free world (CAN + US + UK + EU + ANZ) matched what the best are doing, this war would be over a lot more quickly.
Ukrainian victory over tyranny matters for everyone in the world that believes in freedom, democracy & international rules-based order!

He should have thought about it before he invaded another Country, he died shortly after this image was taken.
Tabs please !
Populations around the Baltic have very long memories of how Russia has treated them for centuries. The road of bones story is particularly harrowing. I presume the queue to join stretches around the block.

Russia attempted to recapture the liberated island and failed.

Not the smartest Russian move we have seen, but to be expected.

Re Nutty’s 10435, I wouldn’t claim to be the freshest sandwich in the picnic, but they are priceless. I do hope they’re typical of the current orc recruits.
Currently main advances are in the East and not too far from ther border, so they have a multitude of supply routes over relatively short distances.No significant logistical risks imo.
From Newsweek, not sure how old this news is.
Tank Ammo, AA ammo. Good news.
Ukraine has scored a massive weapons boost from NATO member Germany as part of a fresh tranche of military aid unveiled on Monday.
"Great news from our German friends! Thank you for your steadfast support!" Ukraine's Defense Ministry said on social media, announcing that Kyiv's military will receive more armored personnel carriers, anti-aircraft defenses, and ammunition for its ongoing fight against Russia. As part of its latest military aid package, Germany has provided another 10 "Marder" armored personnel carriers, a second Skynex anti-aircraft system, nearly 30,000 rounds of ammunition for the "Gepard" anti-aircraft gun, ammunition for the Leopard 2 tank, missiles for the Iris-T system, and other supplies.
The development comes days after German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said that Ukraine's allies in Europe must continue to provide assistance following a recent $61-billion aid package approved by Washington after months of talks. Scholz on April 24 described the U.S. military aid package as "an encouraging and necessary signal." "But I also want to say clearly that the United States' decision doesn't release us here in Europe from the task of further expanding our support for Ukraine so that the country can defend itself against the aggressor," he said.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg on Monday told reporters during a press conference with Zelensky that it was "not too late" for Ukraine to win the ongoing war. "Ukraine has been outgunned for months—forced to ration its ammunition. This means that fewer Russian missiles and drones have been shot down. And Russia has been able to push forward along the front line," he said.

Russkies are good at transporting everything by train. Problems arise once the tracks end, as palletization isn't really a concept the russkies fathom. Loading/unloading goods by hand isn't efficient but fits the Russian way to do everything: labor (read: forced conscripts) is cheap and anyone is expendable. As a rule of thumb: they manage 100-150km from where the tracks end and thats about it. That is one big reason they are so keen on building track network to occupied territories.
It's great to see Australia (from where I write) contributing BUT they could be a whole lot more generous than this - as could the UK.
