Russian President Vladimir Putin has said Russia should have launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine earlier and been better prepared for the war.

Trump wants 5% Nato defence spending target, Europe told

US president-elect’s closest foreign policy aides indicate he will continue arming Ukraine while pursuing end to war

Lucy Fisher, Henry Foy, and Felicia Schwartz  |  10 hours ago


Donald Trump’s team has told European officials that the incoming US president will demand Nato member states increase defence spending to 5 per cent of GDP, but plans to continue supplying military aid to Ukraine.

The US president-elect’s closest foreign policy aides shared his intentions in discussions with senior European officials this month, according to people familiar with the talks, as he firms up his policies towards Europe and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

During his White House campaign, Trump vowed to cut off aid to Ukraine, force Kyiv into immediate peace talks, and leave Nato allies undefended if they failed to spend enough on defence — spooking European capitals.

But in a boost for allies deeply concerned over their ability to support and protect Ukraine without Washington’s backing, Trump now intends to maintain US military supplies to Kyiv after his inauguration  .  .  .

Russian deserters from Ukraine war burned alive at Vladimir Putin's 'torture jail'

Several deserters from Putin's war in Ukraine have been burned alive at one of Russia's notorious 'torture jails', where so-called 'refuseniks' are regularly beaten

Joe Smith, Will Stewart  |  20 Dec 2024  |  Updated13:15


Russian deserters from the Ukraine war were burned alive in Vladimir Putin's infamous "torture jail".

Five so-called 'refuseniks' were killed as a fire ripped through the army jail where they were being held in Yakutsk, the world’s coldest city. Reports suggest seven more were injured.

The fire broke out at around 2am with seven people admitted to hospital, officials said, although the Russian defence ministry has not said what caused the fire. The notorious facility has been the target of numerous allegations of torture after footage from the grim prison was leaked in May.

At the time of the blaze the air temperature in Yakutsk was a bone-chilling -36C. Among those being held at the detention centre were war-wounded soldiers who, after medical treatment, refused to go back to Putin's frontline in Ukraine.  .  .

This caught my attention in that story:

Chilling scale of Putin's North Korean losses in Ukraine revealed in leaked phone call

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/chilling-scale-putins-north-korean-34341938

Quote
Leaked voice recordings have revealed the chilling scale of North Korean losses in Vladimir Putin's war on Ukraine, with "several hundreds" of troops reportedly killed or wounded on the frontline in Kursk.

The audio messages, allegedly intercepted by Ukraine's Security Service, are between a nurse in a Russian hospital and her husband, who is fighting in Kharkiv. During the call, the woman makes reference to hundreds of injured or killed soldiers filling Moscow's hospitals.

The woman says: "Yesterday there was a train with about 100 people. Today, 120 others, making 200. How many more are there? God only knows." She then complains that the language barrier between North Korean troops and Russian medics causes further problems - with medical staff using an online translator to speak to them.

(snip)

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky claimed the faces of killed North Korean soldiers are being burnt to hide Russia's war losses. He said: “Russia is not only involving North Korean soldiers in assaults on Ukrainian positions but also trying to hide the losses of these people.

“After the battles with our guys, the Russians are also trying to… literally burn the faces of the killed North Korean soldiers. This is a demonstration of the contempt that now reigns in Russia - contempt for everything human.

“There is no reason for Koreans to fight and die for Putin."

Ukraine Launches Groundbreaking Drone-Only Operation Against Russian Forces

Ivan Khomenko  |  Dec 21, 2024  |  12:35


Ukraine’s Armed Forces have conducted their first-ever ground attack relying exclusively on unmanned systems. The operation near the village of Lyptsi in the Kharkiv region involved ground-based unmanned vehicles (UGVs) and first-person-view (FPV) drones.

According to a report from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), the operation marked a significant milestone in Ukraine’s use of advanced military technology.

A spokesperson for the National Guard’s “Khartia” Brigade, which conducted the operation, confirmed the mission utilized dozens of robotic systems. These included UGVs equipped with machine guns and drones designed for laying and clearing mines on enemy positions.

The spokesperson added that the attack successfully eliminated Russian positions without the involvement of infantry. Analysts from ISW noted that this operation underscores Ukraine’s efforts to integrate technological innovation into its defense strategy to mitigate manpower constraints.  .  .  .
