Re: Whiskey's Briefing Room II
There was no need, since Ukraine/US didnt target Iraqi people, but their military dictatorship instead...and thats gets a thumbs up from me...and from everyone else who is sane. If someone blows out Lukashenko's brains...then again, thumbs up. Follow that up with Iran's dick'tator and N.Korea'n cunt and you get another thumbs up. Dicktators can go fuck themselves. |

Re: Whiskey's Briefing Room II
Just a reminder this is the briefing thread... not a thread for non-government/non-official clout chasers stating opinions without direct reporting/analysis of the war or other military subjects.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world...n-plot-russia/ KYIV, Ukraine — Ukrainian security officials said Monday that they had arrested a Ukrainian woman “red-handed” on suspicion of helping Russian intelligence services, including preparations for an assassination attempt on President Volodymyr Zelensky last month. “The security service detained an informant of the special services of the Russian Federation, who, on the eve of the recent working trip of the president of Ukraine to the Mykolaiv region, was gathering intelligence about the planned visit,” Ukraine’s State Security Service, the SBU, said in a statement posted on its website. “The perpetrator tried to establish the time and list of locations of the approximate route of the head of state in the territory of the region,” the statement said. Zelensky visited the southern Ukrainian regions of Odessa and Mykolaiv at the end of July. The statement said the suspected Russian informant was “a former saleswoman in a military store on the territory of one of the military units” in the town of Ochakiv, which Zelensky visited. A Ukrainian government official speaking on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the information said that the woman, who was not identified, was detained on Aug. 1. The government official said Ukrainian security services prevented the woman from collecting information about Zelensky’s visit, thus foiling the assassination plot. The SBU “took comprehensive measures to keep her from the visit, and she did not have any information about where [Zelensky] would go, how he would get there,” the official said, without going into further detail. “And on the day of the visit she [was] also restricted in her movements.” After Zelensky’s visit, the security services continued to follow the woman. The SBU said that Russian intelligence services then tasked the woman with identifying “the location of electronic warfare systems and warehouses with ammunition of the armed forces of Ukraine in the Ochakiv region,” which would be used “to prepare a new massive airstrike on the Mykolaiv region,” the SBU statement said. “To gather intelligence, she traveled around the territory of the district and photographed the locations of Ukrainian objects,” the statement said. If found guilty, the woman could face 12 years in prison, the SBU said. |

Ukraine says US and German air defence systems 'highly effective'. August 8, 20232:23 AM GMT+10Updated 7 hours ago REUTERS/Anna Voitenko (Reuters) - Ukraine is seeing "significant results" from U.S. and German air defence systems, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Sunday, despite waves of Russian air strikes that Kyiv says targeted civilians and residential buildings. Russia reported it had shot down a drone heading for Moscow in the third such attack in a week, while officials on both sides said Ukraine had struck two bridges linking Crimea to the mainland. Both countries have stepped up attacks on each other's troops, weaponry and infrastructure supporting the war as Ukraine seeks to dislodge Russian forces that have dug in across southern and eastern Ukraine since their invasion last year. The Moscow-appointed head of Crimea said the Chonhar bridge to the peninsula, which was annexed from Ukraine by Moscow in 2014, had been damaged by a missile strike. Another of the three road links between Crimea and Russian-occupied parts of mainland Ukraine, near the town of Henichesk, was shelled and a civilian driver wounded, a Moscow-appointed official said. In his nightly video address on Sunday, Zelenskiy said advanced air defence systems, including the U.S.-built Patriot and Germany's IRIS-T, were proving "highly effective" and had "already yielded significant results." Zelenskiy said Ukraine had shot down a significant part of Russia's attacks over the past week, which included 65 missiles of various kinds and 178 assault drones, including 87 Shaheds. "Unfortunately, there are casualties and wounded among the civilian population. Residential buildings and other civilian infrastructure suffered destruction," the military said in a statement. The attacks followed what Zelenskiy said was a bomb attack late on Saturday on a blood transfusion centre in the town of Kupiansk, around 16 km (10 miles) from the front in the eastern Kharkiv region. He described the strike as a war crime. Reuters could not immediately verify the report. Russia denies deliberately targeting civilians or military hospitals in its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which has killed thousands of people, uprooted millions and destroyed cities. MASSIVE CASUALTIES In Russia, Moscow's Vnukovo airport suspended flights on Sunday, citing unspecified reasons outside its control. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said a drone had been shot down south of the capital. Russia's defence ministry said earlier it had conducted successful strikes on Ukrainian air bases in the western Rivne and Khmelnytskyi regions and southern Zaporizhzhia region. It said its military launched a group strike using long-range and sea-based precision weapons and all the targets had been neutralized. The deputy governor of the Khmelnytskyi region, Serhiy Tiurin, said a military airfield in Starokostiantyniv was among the targets. He said most of the missiles were shot down, but explosions had damaged several houses, a cultural institution and the bus station, and a fire had broken out at a grain silo. Ukraine is two months into a gruelling counteroffensive to try to push out Russian forces occupying almost a fifth of its territory. Zelenskiy aide Mykhailo Podoliak characterised the weekend Russian missile attacks as a response to Ukraine's overtures to Global South countries that have been reluctant to take sides in a conflict that has hurt the global economy. Senior officials from some 40 countries including the United States, China and India held talks about the conflict in Saudi Arabia on Saturday and Sunday, but the meeting ended with no concrete action beyond a commitment to further consultations. The meeting was part of a diplomatic push by Ukraine to build support beyond its core Western backers. Zelenskiy's chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, said the discussions had been very productive, but did not give details. Russia did not attend. Its deputy foreign minister, Sergei Ryabkov, said the meeting reflected the West's "doomed efforts" to mobilise developing nations behind Zelenskiy. |

Re: Whiskey's Briefing Room II
Reuters U.S. to send Kyiv first $200 million of arms freed by $6.2 billion 'accounting error'. By Mike Stone WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Joe Biden's administration will announce $200 million of new weapons aid for Ukraine as soon as Tuesday, U.S. officials told Reuters, as it begins to dole out $6.2 billion of funds discovered after a Pentagon accounting error over-valued billions of Ukraine aid, two U.S. officials said on Monday. In May, the Pentagon announced it had mistakenly assigned a higher-than-warranted value to the U.S. weaponry shipped to Kyiv when staff used "replacement value" instead of "depreciated value" to tabulate the billions worth ammunition, missiles and other equipment sent to Ukraine. Ukraine needs weaponry that can be shipped from U.S. stocks in a matter of days or weeks so it can keep up its fight to repel Russia's invasion - the accounting error worked to Kyiv's benefit because more equipment can be sent. Beginning to use these discovered funds is significant because they represent the last of the previously congressionally authorized $25.5 billion worth of Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA) the administration can utilize to ship weapons from U.S. stocks in the event of an emergency, the U.S. officials said. Washington is currently working on a supplemental budget request to continue to aid Kyiv, the U.S. officials said. Tuesday's expected announcement of $200 million would be the first tranche of the $6.2 billion windfall of previously authorized Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA), the officials said. Included in this package were items like mine clearing equipment, TOW and AT4 anti-tank weapons, guns and ammunition, air defense interceptors made by Lockheed Martin Corp for the Patriot system, Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) rockets and Javelin anti-tank missiles made by a joint venture between Lockheed and RTX Corp, along with other equipment.  |
