💸 Zaluzhny's hunger for military aid: Ukraine’s top general demands more Western weapons in interview with Washington Post
▪️Zaluzhny said he doesn’t need “120” planes to satisfy his hunger for military aid, but a third of NATO planes currently flying near Ukraine's western border will suffice
▪️Several Western-supplied Leopards have already been destroyed, the general confirms: “And a Leopard on the battlefield is not a Leopard but a target”
▪️General repeatedly makes the argument that unless the West supplies F-16s and more ammunition to Kiev, the counteroffensive is unlikely to succeed
▪️Zaluzhny is "pissed off" about Western officials and military analysts criticizing the slow-paced Ukrainian counteroffensive
▪️The prospects of a nuclear war or a provocation at the Zaporozhye nuclear facility doesn’t faze the Ukrainian top general much: “It doesn’t stop me at all. We are doing our job”

Former Pentagon analyst: Sweden should reconsider ‘Turmoil’ it would become part of in NATO
A new rift has opened between Muslim-majority Turkiye and Sweden, where a legal protest was allowed to take place involving the public burning of a Quran.
Michael Maloof, a former senior security policy analyst in the US Office of the Secretary of Defense, told Sputnik that both Sweden and NATO should consider what benefit is gained by adding the Scandinavian state to the alliance, especially given the kind of tensions that further NATO expansion to the East is likely to create in the region.
