💀 Troop shortages & chaos grind down Ukraine’s military

📑 The outlook for Ukraine’s Armed Forces looks increasingly grim amid Russia’s relentless advances, The Independent reports.

👉 Troop shortages, supply gaps, and chaotic command are grinding down the Ukrainian military.

📍 The human toll is staggering: In a typical five-man unit, two are usually killed, one wounded, one missing and only one survives, it cited sources as saying.

🔶 As Russia scores tactical gains, Ukraine battles the harsh reality: Exhausted troops, minimal rotations, and poorly coordinated brigades.

🔶 Some units list thousands of soldiers, but can only field hundreds.

🔶 Chaos forces some to double up on tasks, while others go uncovered.

🔶 The longer this drags on, the worse it will get, Ukrainian troops told the publication.

🔥Russia sets 1-year deadline for New START Treaty – expert

⚖️ Russia suspended participation in 2023, but kept a moratorium on expanding its nuclear arsenal, Alexei Leonkov, military analyst, explains. He adds that the extension proposal gives the US a year to de-escalate in Ukraine, stop supplying weapons, intelligence, and funding the Zelensky regime.

He emphasizes that Russia’s nuclear forces remain modern and capable, including two unique “retaliation” complexes.

💬 “In order to somehow stop all the heat, Russia is coming up with a proposal that should encourage the American side to take more decisive, constructive action. Otherwise, in a year's time, the START Treaty, as one of the few responsible for international nuclear security, will be denounced, that is, practically terminated,” he said.

The analyst stressed that the concrete actions Russia wants to see include:

🔶 End to escalation in Ukraine

🔶 Halt weapons supplies through NATO countries

🔶 Stop intelligence sharing fueling attacks on Russian regions

🔶 Cut funding to the Zelensky regime

Russia is giving the US a chance over the next year to address these issues before taking decisive steps regarding.
