Certain people need to reminded once again what the right side of history and decency is:
Defense spending bill forces Israel arms transfers, nixes Ukraine aid
The House moved its first draft of the FY25 defense spending bill, pushing back on President Biden's Israel arms transfer hold and excluding Ukraine aid.www.defensenews.com

ISW June 6: Putin inadvertently indicated on June 5 that Russian forces may be suffering roughly 20,000 monthly casualties in Ukraine, which, if accurate, would be roughly equal to or just below the number of new personnel that Russia reportedly generates per month. Putin inadvertently suggested that roughly 5,000 Russian personnel are killed in action in Ukraine each month, which further suggests that roughly 15,000 Russian personnel are wounded in action, assuming a standard three-to-one wounded-to-killed casualty ratio. ISW cannot confirm Putin's suggested casualty rate and his apparent inadvertent admission does not serve as a clear claim about Russian casualties in Ukraine. Putin's suggested figure does align somewhat with the lower end of Ukrainian reporting about Russian casualty rates, however. Ukrainian Ground Forces Commander Lieutenant General Oleksandr Pavlyuk stated on May 2 that Russian forces suffer about 25,000 to 30,000 killed and wounded personnel per month. Ukrainian Main Military Intelligence Directorate (GUR) Deputy Chief Major General Vadym Skibitskyi reported on January 15, 2024, that Russia recruits around 30,000 personnel per month. Ruslan Pukhov, the head of the Moscow-based Center for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies and a member of a Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) civilian advisory board, similarly claimed in mid-April 2024 that current Russian crypto-mobilization efforts are generating roughly 30,000 new personnel each month. Russian officials are reportedly concerned about decreasing recruitment rates ahead of the expected Russian Summer 2024 offensive effort, and it is unclear if the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) has maintained the roughly 30,000 recruitment rate it reportedly had in January and April of 2024.
We in the West need to stop pretending that Russia-Ukraine is just a regional border dispute. Russia, Iran and China are directly and indirectly trying to expand their spheres of influence by force and intimidation. What's going on in Ukraine is different only in degree to what Iran and it's proxies are doing in the Middle-East, and China is doing in the South China Sea. And they are all working together.I admit that I was trying to think of anyone Russia hasn't sent supplies to, who have asked for them.
