Ukraine

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.

As of December 2022, U.S. Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) has delivered more than 313 million pounds of equipment to Ukraine to help them defend themselves against Russia.

Volodymyr Zelensky has been on his travels this week, leaving Ukraine for the first time since the invasion to fly to the US to meet with Joe Biden and address a joint sitting of Congress.

It appears that a violation of the convention has occurred, which prohibits destroying an ethnic, racial, national, or religious group.
