Someone wrote about shorten of ammo here in West.

Some days ago I read in a Danish article that Denmark has stopped sending ammo and weapons to Ukraine, instead they are sending money and some drones(These is not made for active warfare, more like surveillance)

Denmark have reopen a ammo factory, they did this in the end of last year and it will take some years before it's up and running for full again.

Denmark lack both ammo, material and equipment which is fully functioning

Last year Denmark send totally new artillery they just had bought from France to Ukraine. 6 in total.

Edit
There has been talk about giving Ukraine 4 of Denmarks F16 When their new F35 has been part of Danish air defence.
End edit

Either he's an orphan or he dislikes his family because he's singing like a canary. I wonder if he'll be included in the next prisoner exchange?

I think this major is very seriously pissed by Putin. And who knows, without knowing the man: maybe he has a bad conscience. Should happen.

A proposal from within the circle of NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg is causing outrage in Kiev. Stoltenberg's chief of staff, Stian Jenssen, said according to the Norwegian newspaper Verdens Gang that one conceivable way to end the war would be for Ukraine to cede territory permanently to Russia in exchange for membership in NATO. "I'm not saying it has to be that way. But it could be a possible solution," he said.

At the same time, Jenssen stressed that Ukraine should determine when the time is right to negotiate a possible peace with Russia.

Despite this relativization, reactions from Ukraine have been clear. A Foreign Ministry spokesman called the move "absolutely unacceptable." It was assumed that the alliance would not trade territories, he said. At X, Mychaylo Podolyak, an adviser to Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelensky, wrote: "This is ridiculous. This means deliberately choosing the defeat of democracy, encouraging a global criminal to preserve the Russian regime, destroying international law and passing the war on to other generations."

As great as the displeasure in Kiev is over the discussion - it is by no means new. Last March, for example, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken did not rule out negotiations on Ukraine's future border.

[Süddeutsche Zeitung]

Slowly, these voices become louder, and more numerous, Slowly, but surely.

How can this be if a thousand propaganda videos per day show us how successful the Ukraine is fighting and how ridiculous Russian troops are? Maybe because these videos indeed are right this: propaganda?

Dont get me wrong, I am fuming about the way the whole thing is developing. Its just that I said already last summer that this outcome is likely, and that Russia wins by tiring out the West psychologically. The West has no long breath, and many states, and surely and before anyone else: Germany, simply lack the ability to think strategically, long term oriented, realistically.

It seems that the last remaining brigade the Ukrainians had in reserve is now engaged, too. And then look at the map, see what happened in the past 10 weeks (or better: what happened not and what happened inbstead of what was hoped for), and then explain to me how this math should work out well, if you can. I dont see it. The math works terribly ill.

It could also mean that NATO has and end of how far they will go in supporting Ukraine. In a war who may take years with no given victors.

And the risk of a clash between NATO and Russia as the time goes by

Another thing about this proposal from NATO. Shouldn't it not be unanimously among all the members of NATO ?
