In Russia, fewer than eight long-range A-50 radar detection aircraft remain. One such aircraft was destroyed February 23, by the Ukrainian Defense Forces, reports Air Force spokesperson Yurii Ihnat during a televised marathon. "The successes we have today, this extended arm, the ability to reach the enemy where they absolutely don't expect it, speak to the fact that the adversary will have fewer capabilities in this direction after losing the A-50," he said. The spokesperson noted that the destroyed aircraft had been modernized. As explained by Ihnat, the A-50 is essentially a radar that can observe and scan, detecting all aerial targets within a radius of 600 km and identifying electronic warfare systems. "We need to look at the intelligence data. The head of the Main Intelligence Directorate, Kyrylo Budanov, said there were eight aircraft before this. Not all of them were operational, and not all of them were modernized. So, there were only a few of them left," Ihnat added. On February 23 Defense Forces of Ukraine reported that a Russian A-50 aircraft was shot down over the Sea of Azov. This is the second A-50 that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have destroyed since the beginning of the war. According to the Main Intelligence Directorate, the A-50U is a new modernized version of the aircraft. The cost of the destroyed aircraft is $350 million. The Russians used such an airborne command post for long-range radar detection, control, and guidance for strikes against Ukraine with missiles from strategic aviation.

On a tense day along the Ukrainian-Russian border, a dramatic event unfolded as the Ukrainian army successfully shot down the 25th Russian Su-34 fighter-bomber. The Su-34, a formidable aircraft known for its versatility and combat capabilities, had been engaged in what Ukrainian officials described as aggressive maneuvers within Ukrainian airspace. The Ukrainian military, equipped with advanced radar systems and well-trained personnel, swiftly responded to the violation of their sovereignty. With precision and determination, they targeted the intruding aircraft, launching a decisive strike that brought down the Russian Su-34. The incident marked a significant escalation in the ongoing tensions between Ukraine and Russia, underscoring the volatility of the situation in the region. It served as a testament to the Ukrainian army's readiness and ability to defend their territory against external threats. Following the downing of the Su-34, both diplomatic and military channels were abuzz with activity as officials from both sides exchanged accusations and warnings. The international community closely monitored the situation, expressing concerns over the potential for further escalation and urging restraint from all parties involved. Amidst the geopolitical complexities and heightened tensions, the downing of the 25th Russian Su-34 underscored the precarious nature of the situation along the Ukrainian-Russian border, serving as a stark reminder of the potential consequences of military confrontation in the region.

An increase in the production of zinc coffins for Russian soldiers killed in Ukraine has suddenly become a cause for pride in Russia, Ukrainian journalist Yuriy Butusov wrote on Telegram. He shared a screenshot of the Tambov Metal Service plant management's post on the Russian online social media and social networking service VKontakte. "Friends, we have great news!” the post read. “Metal Service is expanding its product range and is now proud to present zinc coffins... Zinc coffins are not just a product, they are a symbol of care and respect for those who served and sacrificed their lives for our country." Earlier, a new dress by Spanish fashion designer Balenciaga was causing a stir on social media thanks to its uncanny resemblance to a sleek black plastic bag used to transport dead Russian soldiers. Balenciaga shared a photo of this unique outfit on their Instagram on Dec. 16, with a price tag of around $6,500. The BBC Russian Service and news outlet Mediazona have confirmed the identity of around 45,000 Russian soldiers who died in Ukraine since the invasion began in February 2022. The issue of military casualties is extremely sensitive in both countries. Russia has banned criticism of the conflict and no official figures have been released since 2022. “The BBC, together with Mediazona... and a team of volunteers managed to establish the names of 45,123 Russian militaries who died in the war in Ukraine since February 2022,” the report said. It only included the names of soldiers publicly identified in open-source data – mainly obituaries – and warned the real toll may be twice as high. “Two-thirds of the dead we have identified had no links to the army prior to the invasion: volunteers, mobilized, prisoners and private company recruits,” the BBC's Russian language service said. #Ukriane, #Russia, #Putin, #Putler, #Russian invasion of Ukraine, #Zelenski, #Kiev, #Kyiv, #Kadirov army, #Kadirov, #Kherson, #Bucha, #Kharkiv, #Ukrainian pilots, #vagners, #Russian tanks, #NATO, #drones, #Moscow, #Kreml, #war victims #Ukraina, News, The Washington Post, waPo Video, Washington Post Video, Washington Post YouTube, a:politics, aid, biden, putin, s:Politics, support, t:Other, Ukraine, war, fact check, news coverage, Donald Trump, news, wp video, forbes, nytimes, newspaper, media, journalism, Ilham Aliyev, Baku, Azerbaijan, Israel, Gaza, Palestine, Tel-Aviv, Garabag, Karabakh, football, ronaldo, messi, brian tyler cohen

The New York Appeals Court has ordered Donald Trump to pay $454.2 million if he intends to file a counter-appeal in a civil lawsuit for financial fraud. However, his lawyers have stated that Trump has decided to negotiate and has offered only $100 million, according to CNN. According to Trump's lawyers, he wants to appeal the decision made by New York Judge Arthur Engoron on February 16, which, among other things, prohibits the former president from holding executive positions in any New York state company or taking out loans from banks registered in this state for three years. However, to file an appeal, a bond in the full amount awarded by the court must be posted within a month. Otherwise, the New York State Attorney General's Office has the right to collect these funds at any time. In the lawsuit filed by New York Attorney General Letitia James, which led to Judge Engoron's decision, Trump and his family business were accused of inflating his net worth by $3.6 billion annually for ten years to deceive banks and obtain better loan terms. The judge did not revoke Trump's business licenses, which, according to some experts, could have effectively ended his business empire. However, he imposed a fine of $354.9 million on Trump, and last week this amount, including accrued interest, reached $454.2 million. Trump's lawyers stated that a $100 million bond, as well as ongoing oversight of the Trump Organization by a court-appointed observer, would be more than sufficient to secure the court's decision. Donald Trump faces over 90 criminal charges in several cases, including the payment of $130,000 to porn actress Stormy Daniels, an attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, unlawful disclosure of classified information after leaving office, and more. On February 16, 2024, a New York court ordered Donald Trump to pay over $350 million. He was found guilty of deliberate financial fraud over ten years. The judge also prohibited Trump from holding executive positions or directorships in any New York corporation for three years. Additionally, Trump may face civil liability for the actions of participants in the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. #Ukriane, #Russia, #Putin, #Putler, #Russian invasion of Ukraine, #Zelenski, #Kiev, #Kyiv, #Kadirov army, #Kadirov, #Kherson, #Bucha, #Kharkiv, #Ukrainian pilots, #vagners, #Russian tanks, #NATO, #drones, #Moscow, #Kreml, #war victims #Ukraina, News, The Washington Post, waPo Video, Washington Post Video, Washington Post YouTube, a:politics, aid, biden, putin, s:Politics, support, t:Other, Ukraine, war, fact check, news coverage, Donald Trump, news, wp video, forbes, nytimes, newspaper, media, journalism, Ilham Aliyev, Baku, Azerbaijan, Israel, Gaza, Palestine, Tel-Aviv, Garabag, Karabakh, football, ronaldo, messi, brian tyler cohen

The US knows it must do everything in its power to learn from the ongoing war in Ukraine. Hopes are high that NATO can continue to support Ukrainian independence from afar without the conflict escalating. But wars have a tendency of spiraling out of control when you least expect it. The prospect seems unlikely now, but if the US had to suddenly engage in a full-scale war against Russia, how would it fare? What plans is it making for such an eventuality?
