Finland to Ban Russians From Buying Property in Security Fix

  • Defense Minister Antti Hakkanen unveils plan in statement
  • Finland is worried about property use for hostile operations

Leo Laikola  |  September 2, 2024  |  8:11 AM UTC[/b]

Finland unveiled plans for a full ban on property acquisitions by some foreign nationals as security concerns surfaced over purchases with links to Russia near critical infrastructure.

Defense Minister Antti Hakkanen on Monday presented a proposal to stop Russians from making any acquisitions in the Nordic NATO member that shares the bloc’s longest land border with its main adversary. A draft law is expected to be submitted to the parliament before the year-end.

“This is based on the war of aggression conducted by Russia and the assessment made about it,” Hakkanen told reporters in Helsinki, while adding that the proposal won’t explicitly name the neighboring country.

The law would apply to citizens of countries whose homeland has “violated the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of another state and could threaten Finland’s security.” The ban would also involve legal entities “domiciled in the territory of such a state or who are owned or influenced by a citizen or entity of such a state,” the statement said.  .  .

A new analysis by OSINT researcher Richard Vereker states that in August, only 50 tanks of the Russian Armed Forces were visually confirmed
to have been lost, about half as many as in July. This correlates with data from the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which also publishes much
smaller losses of Russian tanks. Russian commanders have sharply reduced the use of armored vehicles for their attacks, and prefer to throw infantry into
battle, which is not covered by armor. Vereker also noted a further reduction in the share of losses of the most common Russian tank, the T-72, to only 27%,
with an increase in the number of T-90 losses. However, he also highlighted an increase in the share of losses of tanks whose type could not be determined.

What is the bigger crime?  This man price gouging?  Or that Russian soldiers have to buy their own food?

Yes, they are advancing near Povrovsk.  Ukraine is rationing shells again.  There seems to be a very large divide between announcing arms shipments to Ukraine and actually sending arms shipments to Ukraine.

This here isn't helping.  For the cost of one of these missiles, one can purchase 1,000 suicide drones.  Russia has run out of armor.  Ukraine desperately needs infantry-destroying drones. But a politician can get much better kickbacks from Raytheon and Lockheed for $200,000 missiles in Pennsylvania than some drone maker gets for $200 grenade-dropping drones.

Russia kills scores in attack on Ukraine's Poltava as outrage erupts over reported military event

TAG24 NEWS  |  12h ago

Poltava, Ukraine - Dozens of people were killed on Tuesday in a Russian missile attack on the central Ukrainian city of Poltava, one of the deadliest strikes of the two-and-a-half-year war.

President Volodymyr Zelensky vowed to hold "Russian scum" accountable for the attack on a military education facility and nearby hospital, which killed at least 41 and wounded another 180.

The strike triggered anger on Ukrainian social media after unconfirmed reports said it had targeted an outdoor military ceremony, with many blaming reckless behavior from officials who allowed the event to take place despite the threat of Russian attacks.

Zelensky said he had ordered a "full and prompt investigation into all the circumstances of what happened."
"More than 180 people were injured. Unfortunately, there are many dead. As of now, 41 people have been reported dead," Zelensky said in a post on social media.

Two Russian ballistic missiles hit the hospital and an educational institution, partially destroying one of the buildings, Zelensky said.

"The time interval between the alarm and the arrival of the deadly missiles was so short that it caught people in the middle of evacuating to the bomb shelter," the defense ministry said.

Defence Secretary welcomes Ukrainian counterpart to UK and confirms £1bn milestone in UK-administered fund

The milestone comes as the International Fund for Ukraine's largest support package will start delivering this year

Ministry of Defence and The Rt Hon John Healey MP  |  Published 3 September 2024

Urgent work to accelerate the delivery of the UK’s military support for Ukraine will be discussed between the Defence Secretary and his counterpart, Rustem Umerov, during a visit to London today.

The visit comes during a milestone moment in international support for Ukraine, with eight countries from across the world having now joined the UK to provide more than £1 billion to the International Fund for Ukraine (IFU), in a significant show of unity from Ukraine’s allies.

It comes after the Prime Minister announced the IFU’s largest ever support package at the NATO Summit in July, with a £300m contract to supply 152mm artillery shells to supply Ukraine’s Soviet-era guns. He also confirmed £3bn of UK aid for Ukraine per year for as long as it takes.

The Defence Secretary confirmed today the £300m contract has now been signed and is expected to deliver thousands of shells before the end of the year – providing a significant boost for Ukraine’s stockpiles and aligning with the Government’s acceleration of military support deliveries.

Denmark, Lithuania, the Netherlands, and Norway all confirmed their intent this summer to invest additional money in the Fund to purchase more drones to help on the frontline, as well as vital air defence capabilities to help shield Ukraine’s people and key infrastructure from relentless Russian bombardment.

Defence Secretary, John Healey, said:

  • UK military equipment continues to prove invaluable for Ukraine’s war effort. The ongoing defensive operation in Kursk underlines the crucial importance of continued support. And today’s milestone for the International Fund for Ukraine shows the value of working with our Allies to deliver that support.

  • Our government is stepping up Britain’s support for Ukraine to fight Putin’s illegal invasion. We are speeding up deliveries of aid, with a much-needed ammunition package announced by the Prime Minister at NATO set to begin deliveries within months. We will continue to step up our support to help Ukraine achieve victory.  .  .  .

Romanian Senate approves transfer of Patriot system to Ukraine

Karina Bondar - 03 September 2024 | 16:43

UKRAINE, Sep 3 — The upper house of the Romanian parliament, the Senate, on Monday, September 2, approved a government bill on transferring the Patriot anti-aircraft missile system to Ukraine, reports Digi24.

Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Ukraine has received Patriot air defense systems from the United States, Romania, Germany, and the Netherlands. Patriot systems can effectively shoot down various types of Russian missiles, including ballistic and cruise missiles.

101 Romanian senators voted in favor of the government’s draft law on transferring the air defense system to Ukraine, 13 voted against it, and two abstained.

The President of the Senate Defense Committee, Nicoleta Pauliuc, expressed hope that the draft law will pass the Chamber of Deputies, the decision-making body, by the end of the week.

Pauliuc emphasized that the transfer of the Patriot air defense system “doesn’t mean that Romania will be left without protection” because Bucharest has seven other such systems.  .  .  .
