It’s a long but very informative video from today.

Shake up in Zelenskyy’s cabinet.
As long as the replacements are competent and can quickly get up to speed on their new files, such shakeups can be a good means to spread expertise and avoid fiefdoms; even among good, non-corrupt politicians and bureaucrats.

Many thanks for sharing that video. I thought the analysis was very balanced and on-the-money.

I subscribe to that YT channel. He has quite a few articles that are very informational on this war.

This level of NATO cohesion must have been inconceivable to Putin. His yes men told him NATO was falling apart.

Not meant to be political, but historical - POTUS45 and the circus over NATO spending, Hunter's briefcase, etc. gave Putin such a false or shortlived impression of the alliance and the US' interest and resolve. It reminds me of when U.S. Ambassador April Glaspie told Saddam, "We have no opinion on the Arab-Arab conflicts, like your border disagreement with Kuwait." Thirty-three years later, look how the butterflies of GW1 changed the world. I wonder what doors in future history Putin's invasion of Ukraine will open and close.

Along the Ukraine-Belarus border, there's a war of nerves — and drones
Ukrainian units use drones to monitor the border with Belarus, a close Russian ally.

Disturbing change but I note he has been moved sideways in essence.
A bit of reporting a week ago re the new Defence Minister:
Agreed. I think it emboldened Putin.
I don’t think many realize hiw close NATO was to falling apart. The Ukraine invasion reversed that course.

First Canadian Leopard (should be a Cougar) has arrived in Poland.

Best Canadian armoured vehicle name has to be the Grizzly, a M4 knockoff made in Montreal.

An alliance without an existential threat is pretty shaky. Putin reminded them/us what it's purpose is.

My hope is that this will push Canada to invest sufficiently to be worthy of joining AUKUS. That alliance will be more important than ever into the 2030s once a strong Poland and Ukraine have a ruined Russia in check.

Thirded re: Putin reminding NATO of its purpose.

I don't see why the Hungarians and non-NATO Serbs are fans of Putin. The latter should know how Russia treats any non-allied neighbours.
