Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments PART 2

An episode of combat use of the Russian 152-mm self-propelled gun 2S43 "Malva" in the Kursk region of Russia. The self-propelled gun "Malva" is mounted on the chassis BAZ-6910-027 "Voshchina". Judging by the video, the artillery gun used is still 2A64, it is planned to replace it with a longer-range one.

 
Recent reports indicate that North Korea has sent around 10,000 troops to Russia, with many stationed in the Kursk region to support Russia's efforts in Ukraine. While they are primarily involved in artillery, UAV operations, and infantry tactics, they are expected to soon participate directly in combat. U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin confirmed these developments, expressing concern over the escalation this could bring. The U.S. and its allies are monitoring the situation closely and are prepared to consider North Korean troops as legitimate targets if they engage in active combat alongside Russian forces

An episode of the movement of a column and landing of troops of the Russian BMP-2 in Novoivanovka, Kursk region of Russia. The BMP-2 as part of a column consisting of a T-72 tank and five BMP-2s broke through to Ukrainian positions in the settlements of Zeleny Shlyakh and Novoivanovka. The column split into two parts, during the movement of the column one of the tanks was hit by a strike, presumably by a drone, it is not clear from the video how much the tank was damaged. The video shows the landing of troops from the Russian BMP-2 in the village of Novoivanovka and the attack of a Ukrainian grenade launcher from behind a building, as noted in the video. The BMP-2 was attacked twice, the first grenade launcher strike was tangential, the second grenade launcher shot into the ground. The BMP-2 was not damaged and landed troops.

 
A German-made Leopard 2A4 tank, operated by Ukraine’s 33rd Mechanized Brigade, recently engaged in an ambush on a Russian armored column with artillery support. Demonstrating high maneuverability, the Ukrainian crew skillfully utilized the Leopard’s ability to quickly reposition, even while reversing, to maintain a tactical advantage. The Leopard 2A4's advanced mobility and powerful firepower have proven effective in hit-and-run tactics, allowing Ukrainian forces to strike Russian units and swiftly retreat to new positions. This engagement highlights the Leopard’s adaptability in Ukraine's defensive operations, underscoring its role in countering armored threats on the battlefield.

 
The Biden-Harris administration is making a concerted effort to provide extensive support to Ukraine before the potential inauguration of Donald Trump as president. In a statement, officials have indicated their intention to send "every dollar" possible in military aid to Ukraine, particularly in light of concerns that a future Trump administration might significantly reduce or halt such assistance.
Key Developments:
  • Aid Packages: President Biden has already announced a substantial $425 million security assistance package aimed at bolstering Ukraine's defense capabilities against Russian aggression. This package includes critical military equipment such as air-defense systems, armored vehicles, and munitions
  • Rushing Aid: The administration is reportedly rushing the delivery of approximately $6 billion in remaining military aid to ensure that it reaches Ukraine before Trump's inauguration in January 2025. This urgency stems from fears that Trump may prioritize negotiations with Russia over continued military support for Ukraine
  • Concerns Over Future Support: Trump has expressed intentions to negotiate an end to the conflict quickly, which raises concerns about potential concessions that could undermine Ukraine's territorial integrity. His past statements suggest he may roll back military assistance unless Ukraine agrees to peace talks with Russia
Strategic Context:
This push for aid comes amid ongoing military operations and heightened tensions in Ukraine, where Russian attacks continue to threaten civilian and military infrastructure. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has assured that U.S. support for Ukraine will be reinforced as the situation evolves, emphasizing the commitment to assist Ukraine in its fight against Russian forces
The Biden administration's proactive approach reflects a broader strategy to solidify international support for Ukraine and counter any shifts in U.S. foreign policy that could arise with a change in leadership.
