Ukraine

Recognizing the allure of Ukraine’s proxy battlefield is not a new idea.

The United Kingdom claims Russia now has the majority of control over the town of Soledar, which had previously been bombarded with salt mines.

The Russian Ministry of Defense announced that it had brought down five Ukrainian fighter jets within 24 hours, including a Su-27 and a MiG-29.

President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine has commented that the city of Bakhmut is managing to hold its own despite being in a precarious position.

Ukraine’s latest type of howitzer has recently become the spotlight this week, while the M-109 cannon has remained relatively unknown.

The United Kingdom is dispatching to Ukraine a newer, extended-range missile that can be managed by people right up until it hits its destination.

Ukrainian paratroopers have shared their experiences of the conflict in the city of Kreminna, noting that they are relying on their wits rather than sheer numbers to come out victorious in the battle.

The Ukrainian military says it shot down two Russian drones in the latest aerial attack.

Russia had expected to be victorious long before now. Its initial plan envisaged ground assaults across Ukraine in the first ten days and a rapid capitulation thereafter.

Russian forces in Ukraine may have used thermobaric weapons and cluster bombs, according to reports from the Ukraine government and human rights groups.

Tactical nuclear weapons have burst onto the international stage as Russian President Vladimir Putin, facing battlefield losses in eastern Ukraine, has threatened that Russia will “make use of all weapon systems available to us” if Russia’s territorial integrity is threatened.

As 2022 drew to a close, Hungary and the European Union made a modicum of progress in their long-running battle of wills.
