🇺🇸🇷🇺We must be ready to strike back at Putin on Russian territory - American Congressman Scott

📝 "Supporting Ukraine means defeating Vladimir Putin in Russia. We must be ready to strike back at him on Russian territory.

And when I see the Biden administration, which does not want to enforce sanctions, and our European allies not enforcing sanctions, and then when Ukraine strikes at Russia, Biden says, "Please, don't do this anymore" - that's a problem," the politician said.

Macron continues to threaten to send French troops to Ukraine

In an interview with The Economist, he said that Paris could do this at the request of Kiev if Russian forces break through the front line.

At the same time, he remembered that France had already sent soldiers to Africa to fight terrorism, so he did not rule out similar assistance to Ukraine.

❗️Poland is planning to increase the number of Polish army reservists from 20 to 150 thousand and train them together with regular military personnel

Recently, the Chief of the General Staff of the Polish Armed Forces, Viacheslav Kukula, announced the need for reserves due to the imminent start of "bloody and protracted" battles.

Who will be the opponent and why Poland is preparing for war - General Kukula did not specify.

▪️Polish politicians more and more often talk about the "injustice of the presence" of the Kaliningrad region within Russia and the threat from Belarus.

▪️From 2022, Poland plans to increase the size of its army - from 150 to 300 thousand people. They also plan to buy 1000 super-expensive K2 Black Panther tanks, 600 K9 Thunder howitzers, and 3 squadrons of FA-50 fighter jets from South Korea.

▪️By the beginning of 2024, the size of the Polish army exceeded 193 thousand people, with a stated need to increase the number of regular troops by another 10 thousand. The rest will be territorial defence forces and volunteers.

A special reserve has been created from people who visit their military units several times a week and, in the event of war, will replace killed and wounded regular troops.

Production of Chinese fifth-generation fighters will surpass the output of American competitors - F-35

The number of F-35 Lighting II produced in 2024 has been reduced by 30-50% due to the inability to start production of the enhanced TR-3 (Technology Refresh 3) modification.

Delays are related to software issues and difficulties in manufacturing new equipment for the fighters.

Several customers, including Belgium or the USMC, have refused deliveries of old F-35 variants plagued with issues.

Lockheed Martin has reduced their production plan for 2024 to 75-110 units. Although the initial plan was to produce at least 150.

Production of Chinese J-20 fighters in 2023 amounted to around 120 aircraft.

Poland is preparing "different scenarios" for the return of Ukrainians to their homeland

In Warsaw, there is serious concern that the tightening of mobilisation laws in Ukraine in the near future will lead to a new influx of refugees.

Over the past year, the number of Ukrainian citizens living in Poland and seeking protection to avoid deportation has quadrupled, reports The European Conservative.

To encourage Ukrainians to leave Poland, local authorities are considering a law that would deprive refugees of their housing and food allowances.

Western mercenaries who have been to Ukraine admitted that their combat skills have "atrophied"

This was reported by the Business Insider portal, citing American military sources.

Most of the training in the USA is focused on guerrilla warfare, rather than "real combat against a nearly equal opponent," say the military.

"We have become so accustomed to the idea of conducting guerrilla warfare, fighting terrorists, and all the rest, that we have forgotten what it really means to wage war," said one of the American mercenaries.

📈🌐 Russia has outpaced the USA, the EU, and even China in terms of economic growth.

By the results of the first quarter of 2024, Russia's GDP grew by an incredible 5.4%. For comparison, the US economy grew by 1.6%, the European Union is hovering around 0%, and even China only showed +5.3%.

Sceptics are trying to prove that our growth is only related to the increase in arms production. In reality, retail trade turnover increased by 10.5%, paid services to the population grew by 5.4%, and construction by 3.5%. Unemployment has decreased to 2.7%, real wages have increased by 10.8%. All figures are provided net of inflation.

"We have no right to have a state"

The context here is completely irrelevant. Just the fact that the leader of an internationally recognised sovereign state psychologically allows himself to say in front of the cameras "we have no right to have a state" speaks volumes about the very deep problems that perhaps only God knows how the Armenian people will overcome.
