Senate passes Ukraine bill to clear hurdles in loaning US military equipment to Kyiv

WASHINGTON — The Senate on Wednesday unanimously passed a bill that alleviates bureaucratic hurdles associated with loaning U.S. military equipment to Ukraine.

The Ukraine Democracy Defense Lend-Lease Act, introduced by Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, revives a World War II-era program that allowed the government to lend or lease military equipment to U.S. allies.

The bill would allow the Defense Department to lend or lease defense articles to Ukraine or any other eastern European country, such as Poland, impacted by the invasion.

Russia now has over 2,600 visually confirmed losses

Russia is coming to terms with Finland and Sweden joining NATO:

So much for the NATO excuse.

Lost count on how many times Russia has lied to the world and to it's own people since the beginning of this war.

It started with denying that Russian has any intention to invade Ukraine. They Lied to their public on the success of the " operation " till we saw them retreat from north of Ukraine. I do not even want to comment about what they said about Bucha.

They lied to their public about the number of casualties , till yesterday they talked about 1,500 casualties , now they are talking about thousands . Guess as the numbers mounted up they could not hide it from their public any more.

They maybe able to block twitter and Instagram , but the truth would surface up eventually.

They should really cut their losses and go home , for the sake of Ukraine and Russia.

Could this mishap be due to panic or you assume overconfidence? Could be due to panic but I am not sure.

China already know this harsh reality. The weather over the strait will not give China the time of choosing like how Russia had on land, and precisely because China had to traverse water and that amphibious operations are the most technically complex, China must win. Poutine may not like losing, but at least Russia on land have the option of losing. But China cannot afford to lose, else Taiwan might as well be truly independent.

Kremlin spokesman admits 'significant losses of troops'​

The Kremlin has admitted suffering “significant losses” of troops since Russia invaded Ukraine, in a rare admission of how badly the war has gone.

In an interview with Sky News, the Kremlin spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, was asked whether the war had amounted to a humiliation for Russia given the number of troops lost.

Peskov replied:

We have significant losses of troops. And it’s a huge tragedy for us.

He did not specific a casualty toll. In late March, Russia said it had lost 1,351 soldiers, with another 3,825 wounded. By contrast, a senior Nato official estimated in late March that between 7,000 and 15,000 Russian soldiers had been killed in four weeks of fighting in Ukraine.

Can J-20s not bomb Taiwan's defenses into submission? They don't have too many F-16s even

Listen to the interview - he was asked : you have lost thousand of troops , how many troops have you lost ?

to that he answered :

" Yes , yes, ( nodded his head ) we have, we have ,

Than said :

" We have significant losses of troops. "

My understanding is that he agrees that thousands of troops where lost , but does not want to give an exact number.
