No, the German Government has massive Budget issues, due to a mistake in interpretation of transfers of thematic subbudgets.
They had do cut costs twice and still have a gap.
So that same should be the reason for stopping NEW support for Ukraine.
There will be substitute on G7 level, where they grab and redirect frozen Russian money (or its interests initially) to give it Ukraine.

Any idea what the weapon used here was? ATACMS? JDAM? SCALP?

More of the excellent Ukrainian treatment which appears to be far better than Russian treatment of the locals.

The satellite image is definitely showing the main bridge of Glushkovo.
I mean, if the video is authentic, it's not a missile that brought Glushkovo's bridge down.

Two bridges destroyed, Glushkovo bridge and to the WNW, Zvannoe bridge.
Glushkovo bridge HIMARSed, Zvannoe bridge taken down with emplaced explosives.
The video of AFU SO wiring the bridge pylons matches the Zvannoe bridge.

The bridge mining video has me scratching my head a little...
- Seems to be a very still and narrow creek backwater.
- Tunnel/culvert seen in part of the video under the bridge.
- The pace seems to be totally relaxed.
- The Zvannoe bridge looks like it is on the North side of the town, has the town been captured by the UA?
- If so is the immediate river area now uncontested on both banks?
The more I think about it, the more that seems to be an adhoc vid of a mining exercise somewhere??

Zelenskyy making a pointed dig at the UK.
Ukrainian commentator on Sky this morning explaining this was because there has been a drastic increase between the announcement of military aid and its delivery, particularly in long range missiles such as Storm Shadow.
Ben Wallace made it his personal business to expedite support - perhaps his Labour replacement isn’t so enthusiastic…..
Video.…..”Throughout this war, we’ve seen the UK demonstrate true leadership—in arms, politics, and support for Ukrainian society. This has saved thousands of lives, reflecting the strength of the UK. Unfortunately, the situation has slowed down recently. We will discuss how to fix this because long-range capabilities are vital for us. The whole world sees how effective Ukrainians are—how our entire nation defends its independence.”…..
