"How you can possibly say that and keep a straight face? How you can say that Ukraine is the one waging war when they have been invaded?"
Front line update
- Minefields are the biggest obstacle to Ukraine's counter-offensive according to the Washington Post. Ukraine has changed tactics to advance cautiously on foot while taking out artillery behind the front lines.
- A piece in The Times describes the attritional, slow fighting with Russians defending to the last man, making Ukrainian advances slower.
- There are reports of Ukrainian successes south of Bakhmut towards Klishchivka and Andriivka. Fighting continues in Staromaiorske with conflicting reports on control.
Military and other aid
- South Korea is increasing its aid to Ukraine to $150 million, mainly for humanitarian assistance. South Korea is a major arms exporter selling to Ukraine's allies like Poland.
- Serbia has allocated humanitarian aid to Ukraine to help with the Kakhovka dam disaster.
- The US is buying 23 old Hawk surface-to-air missile systems from Taiwan for Ukraine. These could bolster Ukraine's counter-offensive if placed 15-30km from the front lines.
- The UK has announced it has trained 18,000 Ukrainian infantry soldiers so far under Operation Interflex. This is an asymmetric advantage over Russian mobilised troops.
Geopolitics
Bulgarian President Rumen Radev has blamed Ukraine for the war, claiming Kyiv insists on waging war. Ukraine's embassy in Sofia pointed out Russia is the one that invaded and Ukraine's goal is peace within its full territory. The embassy stated narratives blaming Kyiv are consistent with Russian propaganda.
