Ukraine facing 'grim' military picture with risk of 'front lines collapsing’ - Politico

"There’s a great risk of the front lines collapsing wherever Russian generals decide to focus their offensive," the news outlet wrote, citing high-ranking Ukrainian military officers who served under General Valery Zaluzhny.

They explained that the active use of guided aerial bombs and the significant numerical advantage of the Russian army make the military picture "grim" for the Ukrainian forces. These factors will enable the Russian Armed Forces to "penetrate the front line and to crash it in some parts," they noted.

A high-ranking Ukrainian military official stated that, at present, Ukraine lacks the necessary advanced weapons technology to effectively deter Russia's offensive, especially given Russia's numerical superiority.

"There’s nothing that can help Ukraine now because there are no serious technologies able to compensate Ukraine for the large mass of troops Russia is likely to hurl at us," the military official said.

The scandal over the use of the Pegasus program to illegally wiretap politicians in Poland led to Warsaw being stripped of its license for the program.

"Polish special services no longer use this system. The right to use it was taken away from Poland and several other countries in 2021 due to the fact that the license had been revoked," Poland's minister-coordinator of the special services Tomasz Siemoniak told TVP Info.

Former Prime Minister Morawiecki, current Prime Minister Tusk, and many other politicians in Poland were tapped using the Pegasus program developed by the Israeli NSO Group company.

France will prepare 1,500 troops in April to be sent to Ukraine, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said.

"New information is emerging about the preparation by Paris of a military contingent to be sent to Ukraine. To this end, the command of the French Foreign Legion in early March approved the composition of a battalion-tactical group of about 1.5 thousand people," Zakharova said at a briefing.

At the end of February, French President Emmanuel Macron, after a meeting with the heads of European countries, announced that he would allow troops to be sent to Ukraine. According to him, France has "no limits and no red lines" on the issue of assistance to Ukraine. The United States and Germany are against sending troops.

Earlier, Sergei Naryshkin, director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), spoke about the training of 2,000 French military personnel to be sent to Ukraine.

The Russian Ministry of Defense has repeatedly stated that the Kiev regime is using foreign mercenaries as “cannon fodder”, and the Russian military will continue to target and eliminate them throughout the conflict zone.
