NATO chief supports Ukraine’s use of Western weapons to attack Russia

"We don’t have any intention to send NATO ground troops into Ukraine," noted Jens Stoltenberg.

"The time has come for allies to consider whether they should lift some of the restrictions they have put on the use of weapons they have donated to Ukraine," Stoltenberg said in an interview with the Economist. "Especially now when a lot of the fighting is going on in Kharkov, close to the border [with Russia], to deny Ukraine the possibility of using these weapons against legitimate military targets on Russian territory makes it very hard for them to defend themselves."

However, Stoltenberg dismissed the idea that NATO members can use their air defense systems to shoot down Russian missiles over Ukraine. He also spoke against the alliance’s boots on the ground in Ukraine.

"China is neither the one that created the Ukraine conflict nor a party to it," Liu Pengyu said.

Scholz refuses to send Tauruses to Ukraine to prevent escalation between Russia, NATO

It is recalled that Germany’s military assistance to Ukraine amounts to 28 billion euro.

"We will provide support as long as it takes," he said. "But each decision should be well weighed. I have responsibility: we support Ukraine’s defensive struggle but we don’t want the situation to escalate to a war between Russia and NATO. One can only imagine what would become of Europe and the entire world should it happen."

Not long ago, Berlin promised to supply one more Patriot system in a bid to push other countries toward increasing assistance to Kiev. Scholz noted.

However, he once again said that he objects to sending Taurus missiles to Ukraine because it would mean that German soldiers will have to set targets themselves. "This is impossible if you don’t want to be a party to the conflict but want to remain Europe’s biggest donor," he added.

US to blame for Iranian president’s death – Belarus

Sanctions made it difficult to maintain the presidential helicopter, Alexander Lukashenko has said.

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian were among those killed on Monday when their Bell helicopter crashed in the mountains on the way back from Azerbaijan.

“As a person, and not as a president, I will say that the vile, disgusting position of the United States led to this,” Lukashenko said on Friday at a joint press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Minsk.

“I mean, first of all, the sanctions. These scoundrels had no right to impose sanctions against ships, against planes, helicopters that transport people,” Lukashenko added. “They banned their companies from servicing Raisi’s helicopter. Therefore, this is also their fault.”

Pentagon details new shipment of arms to Ukraine

Washington is rushing to send more weapons as Kiev’s battlefield situation deteriorates.

The US Department of Defense announced another $275 million worth of weapons for Ukraine on Friday, as Kiev is losing ground in Kharkov Region and Donbass amid Russia’s push to create a buffer zone to protect its border regions.

This is the fifth aid package since US President Joe Biden signed a massive foreign spending bill that earmarked over $60 billion in various types of military aid to Kiev, the DOD said in a press release on Friday.

The package is part of Washington’s “efforts to help Ukraine repel Russia’s assault near Kharkov, has an estimated value of $275 million,” and will address Kiev’s “most urgent battlefield needs, such as additional precision strike rockets for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS), artillery rounds, air-launched munitions, and anti-tank weapons,” the statement said.

Ukraine to send staff officers into battle

The General Staff in Kiev will be “optimized” to cut 60% of its personnel.

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine announced on Friday that it intends to “optimize” its operations and release up to 60% of its current personnel to forward commands and combat units.

The headquarters conducted an efficiency survey earlier this year and decided it should do more with fewer people, the Planning Directorate head, Evgeny Ostryansky, wrote on Telegram.

“The plan is to use the released personnel to replenish the command and control bodies at the operational and tactical levels, as well as combat units,” Ostryansky said. “This will also allow for the rotation of units carrying long-term combat missions on the front line,” he added.

The proposal was made during a two-day summit of the space agency chiefs of the BRICS member states in Moscow, Borisov told RT on the sidelines of the event on Friday.

“The Russian proposal to create a global space monitoring system to determine threats, from both natural and artificial objects, has sparked genuine interest. We’re talking about protection from debris, asteroids,” the space boss explained.

Russia terminates nuclear deal with Japan

A 1993 treaty on scrapping atomic weapons is no longer in effect.

Moscow has officially ended a disarmament cooperation agreement with Tokyo, the Russian Foreign Ministry confirmed on Friday. The process of scrapping the treaty was initiated six months ago due to what Russia called Japan’s “unfriendly” policies.

Under the agreement, signed in October 1993, Japan was to help Russia dismantle a large portion of the Soviet atomic arsenal and help address resulting environmental problems.

“The agreement between the Russian government and the government of Japan on cooperation in dismantling of nuclear weapons subject to reduction, signed in Tokyo on October 13, 1993, ceased to be in effect as of May 21, 2024,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
