Germany has officially announced that it will no longer provide Ukraine with heavy military equipment. This decision was confirmed by Chancellor Olaf Scholz during a public dialogue event in Prenzlau, where he stated that the country will not supply long-range weapons, specifically Taurus cruise missiles, regardless of NATO allies' decisions. Scholz emphasized that such deliveries pose a significant risk of escalating the conflict with Russia and reiterated that this policy will remain unchanged even if other nations choose to proceed differently.

This announcement comes amidst ongoing discussions among Western allies regarding military support for Ukraine. While the U.S. and the UK have recently increased their military aid, Germany's stance appears to be more cautious, reflecting concerns about potential escalation in the warr. Scholz's comments highlight a broader hesitation within Germany to engage in providing heavy weaponry that could reach deep into Russian territory, which he believes could exacerbate tensions further.

An episode of the battle of the Russian assault group from Samara, in the Pokrovsky direction. The assault group, consisting of a BTR-82A and a buggy, was tasked with landing troops. The video shows the assault group breaking through to a populated area and landing troops. During the retreat of the BTR-82A, it was attacked by five Ukrainian FPV drones. It is unknown how, but the Russian BTR-82A withstood all five attacks. The BTR-82A is equipped with a homemade protection system called "Mangal", but due to the low quality of the video, the elements of the protection cannot be seen. The video is shortened, only the key moments of the battle are shown.

Footage of the Russian FPV drone "Prince Vandal Novgorodsky", controlled via fiber optic cable. In the video, the FPV drone "Vandal" attacks the rear of a Ukrainian T-72AMT tank. The T-72AMT tank is an updated version of the Soviet T-72 tank, produced in 2017 at the Kiev Armored Plant. Many upgrades have been made to the tank. In terms of protection, the tank is close to the Russian T-72B3 tanks. Please note that when the drone attacks, a Ukrainian pickup truck with electronic warfare systems can be seen on the road, but since the drone is controlled via fiber optic cable, the electronic warfare does not affect it. As a result of the drone strike, the T-72AMT tank was destroyed, it is unknown whether the crew managed to leave the tank. The video was filmed in the border area of the Kursk region of Russia.

There are increasing signs that some Ukranian operation is planned on Transnistria region. As a precaution the Russia-connected forces there should be modified as guerilla units like Hamas-Hezbollah type of ambush operations. Also some training should be given them from online about building fpv drones, attaching grenades, rpgs on fpv quad-copter drones that is if Russian support cannot reach them directly. High possibility of high Ukranian casualties in addition to the risk of focused bombing on Odessa region by Russian aviation-cruise missiles would deter and stop a possible operation against that region in my opinion.

Russian army training to defeat sea drones. This video is unique in that a real Ukrainian sea drone MAGURA V5 is used as a target. In the video, Russian servicemen practice the skills of defeating a sea drone using FPV drones. It is unknown how the Russian army received a working Ukrainian sea drone MAGURA V5. The drone is presumably equipped with a Starlink satellite Internet system.

An episode of a battle in the Kursk region of Russia, which is currently unexplained. In the video, an unknown armored personnel carrier, similar to the BTR-82A, drove out to meet two tanks. After which, the tank fired point-blank at the armored personnel carrier, as a result of which the APC's turret was torn off. In the video, you can see that the APC crew left the combat vehicle, one of the soldiers calmly walked past the tank, the rest went in the other direction, but the second tank tried to hit them. The video does not show any insignia on the equipment, and it is also impossible to determine who the soldiers are. Perhaps one of the sides fired at their own equipment.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has stated that Ukraine is currently at war with three countries: Russia, Iran, and North Korea. This assertion highlights the multifaceted nature of Ukraine's ongoing conflict, which has evolved significantly since the full-scale Russian invasion began in February 2022.

Context of the Statement​

Zelensky's declaration reflects the increasing complexity of the geopolitical landscape surrounding Ukraine. While Russia remains the primary aggressor, the involvement of Iran and North Korea has become more pronounced. Iran has been accused of supplying drones and military equipment to Russia, which have been used in attacks against Ukrainian infrastructure and civilians. This support has raised concerns about Iran's role in the conflict and its alignment with Moscow.North Korea's involvement is also noteworthy, as it has been reported that Pyongyang may be providing munitions and other military supplies to Russia in exchange for economic assistance. This collaboration between these nations poses a significant challenge for Ukraine and its allies, complicating efforts to counteract Russian advances.

Implications for Ukraine​

The acknowledgment of multiple adversaries underscores the urgency for Ukraine to strengthen its military capabilities and secure continued support from Western allies. The situation necessitates a coordinated international response to address not only Russian aggression but also the backing that Iran and North Korea provide to Moscow.Zelensky's statement serves as a call to action for the international community to recognize the broader implications of this conflict. As Ukraine continues to defend its sovereignty, the involvement of these additional nations highlights the need for a united front against what is perceived as a coalition of aggressors threatening regional stability.

Conclusion​

As the war in Ukraine drags on, Zelensky's identification of Iran and North Korea as adversaries alongside Russia reflects the evolving nature of this conflict. The interplay between these countries complicates the geopolitical landscape, necessitating strategic responses from Ukraine and its allies to counteract the multifaceted threats they face. The situation remains fluid, with ongoing developments likely to shape future military and diplomatic strategies.
