German MPs have recently proposed that NATO intercept drones over Ukraine, and I have to say, it’s about time. The situation in Ukraine has been escalating, and it is evident that Ukraine needs all the help it can get. Russia’s continued aggression and interference in Ukrainian affairs cannot go unchecked. It’s crucial to support Ukraine in its defense against external threats, and intercepting drones over Ukraine is a step in the right direction.

France’s potential deployment of troops to Ukraine if Russia were to break the front lines is a bold and controversial move. While some may argue that direct confrontation could lead to disastrous consequences, there is a strategic value in bolstering Ukraine’s defenses with anti-air operations and equipment. Macron’s stance of not ruling anything out shows a determination to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty and prevent Russia from advancing unchecked.
The possibility of France stationing troops in western Ukraine or launching planes from neighboring countries demonstrates a commitment to standing firm against Russian aggression. The idea of creating a buffer zone along the Belarus border to release Ukrainians in the east and deter Russian attacks highlights the importance of taking proactive measures to safeguard Ukraine’s territorial integrity.… Continue reading
Russia says deeper U.S. hybrid war using Ukraine will end in Vietnam-style humiliation. At first glance, this seems like a bold statement coming from the Kremlin. However, when we delve deeper into the context, it becomes clear that the irony in their accusation is palpable.
