Russians might have seen fake F-22s in Ukraine
There are many ways to gather intelligence. Forces analyze satellite imagery, employ spies, fly spy planes, drones, etc. One high-tech way of gathering intelligence is signals intelligence (SIGINT). It basically describes ways of listening to signals that different systems emit and interpreting them in a way that provides a clear picture of the accumulation of enemy forces and possibly even the types of weapons they have. However, there are ways to trick SIGINT.

Electronic warfare is a tricky thing. You can produce faux signals, imitating gathering of troops or even some types of weapons. For example, you can reproduce communication between different artillery detachments when there is no artillery in the area. SIGINT is performed by planes, various ground-based systems and other means.

And it is nothing new. As soon as radio signals were used for military communications, someone started trying to deceive the opposing forces by producing misleading faux communications.

Muscovite Gets Five Years Of 'Forced Labor' For Talking To RFE/RL
A Moscow court on April 22 sentenced a 38-year-old man to five years of so-called forced labor for condemning Russia's invasion of Ukraine during an on-street interview in July 2022 with a reporter from RFE/RL.

The Ostankino district court also banned Yury Kokhovets from administering websites for four years.

The punishment defined as "forced labor" in Russia means that convicts will not serve their terms in prison, but instead may stay home and be sent to work at an industrial facility in their towns, cities, or sent to other places as designated by the Federal Penitentiary Service (FSIN).

A certain portion of their salaries are deducted by the State Treasury.

His lawyer, Yelena Sheremetyeva, said the court ruled that Kokhovets will be paying 10 percent of his monthly salary to the state.

Man mistaken for a Ukrainian spy severely beaten by Russian soldiers

A man in the central Russian region of Ryazan was hospitalised with injuries after soldiers who mistook him for a Ukrainian spy detained and beat him in early April, Telegram channel Baza reported Sunday.

Ruslan Khamatov was riding his motorbike near a military airfield in Dyagilevo on 7 April, when Russian soldiers detained him, accusing him of being a Ukrainian spy.

The men beat Khamatov, who reported having his ears pulled with pliers during the assault, and accused him of being responsible for a damaged fence in the military compound, using his subscription to a “Ukrainian Telegram channel”, which turned out to be pro-Russian, as evidence.

After realising their mistake, the soldiers called the traffic police, presenting Khamatov’s injuries as the result of a motorbike accident. Khamatov was fined for driving without a licence.

He was diagnosed with fractures of the eye socket, nose and ribs, a collapsed lung and multiple bruises, and later submitted a statement on the assault to the police.

Bulgaria can’t join the eurozone in January. Here’s why.
High inflation and wavering public support ― in part blamed on Russian disinformation ― means the country is almost certain to miss its 2025 joining target.

Behind an imposing wooden desk in Sofia, in a complex once housing a statue of Lenin, the man who presides over the 20-strong group of eurozone finance ministers chose his words carefully.

“I am strongly convinced that Bulgaria will join the euro area in 2025,” Paschal Donohoe said. "The question is when your country will introduce the euro as its currency. And not if.”

Flanked by the country’s prime minister, deputy prime minister, and foreign minister, his presence carried plenty of European political heft. A month on, the coalition government has collapsed and those three ministers have all been swept from office. Donohoe’s visit ― drumming up support for Bulgaria's wobbling bid to become the 21st country to use the euro ― turned out to be at a less than ideal time.

Experts and politicians who spoke with POLITICO are convinced the January 1, 2025, target date is not going to be met ― not just because of Bulgaria’s political turmoil but also because of persistent inflation and lack of popular backing.

Zelenskyy on Western help in defeating Iranian attack on Israel: I was shocked
On the night of April 14, Iran launched more than 200 drones and rockets from its territory toward Israel

Western countries helped Israel repel a recent attack by Iran, even though the country is not a member of NATO and does not have a strong document with the Alliance, as stated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in an interview with Hugo Décrypte, emphasizing that he was shocked by such a reaction from the allies.

Zelenskyy said he was shocked by the West's reaction to the Iranian attacks on Israel. He clarified that after Iran attacked Israel there were victims, but their number is small and in any case, they deserve sympathy. However, the president stated that the allies helped Israel even though the country is not a member of NATO.

He also said that he did not see a very serious and strong document between France and Israel, such as between the US and Israel, or a similar document between Israel and NATO.

"That is, we just saw the armies, pilots, and weapons of several allied states destroy 99% of everything that was flying from Iran toward the heads of Israelis. That's what we saw with you. And why I was shocked, because: what's wrong with us? What's wrong with the Ukrainians?" the president said.

He said that the US Congress, with the beginning of the crisis and challenges in the Middle East, began to pay attention to this problem, and the same was done by the American media.

"Let's be honest, today they are mostly looking at what is happening in Israel, in Gaza, in the Middle East in general," he said.

The president noted that due to the situation with Israel and Iran, less attention and time is given to Ukraine, which means less attention from its society. Zelenskyy added that if society reacts less, then there is less responsibility among political leaders, and therefore assistance may be reduced.

Kremlin looking for successor in Chechnya in light of Kadyrov illness

Chechen head Ramzan Kadyrov has been diagnosed with pancreatic necrosis, a terminal illness that has prompted the Kremlin to look for his successor, Novaya Gazeta Europe has learned.

Kadyrov was first diagnosed with pancreatic necrosis in January 2019, with noticeable weight fluctuations recorded over the next several years.

Since 2019, Kadyrov has undergone regular procedures at the Moscow Central Clinical Hospital, whose sources told Novaya Gazeta Europe that Kadyrov had been hospitalised last year with “acute pulmonary insufficiency” after overdosing on a preoperative sedative.

Kadyrov was hooked up to a ventilator and temporarily put into a medically induced coma, which led to anonymous Telegram channels reporting that Kadyrov was “in a coma”. To explain his absence and disprove these reports, Kadyrov published a picture in September of himself at the bedside of his uncle Magomed, allegedly receiving treatment at the same hospital.

While doctors managed to stabilise Kadyrov’s condition in September, Novaya Gazeta Europe’s source at the hospital said that Kadyrov’s MRI results caused “distress” among many in his inner circle. A source close to Adam Delimkhanov, a Russian lawmaker and ally of Kadyrov, said that he “wouldn’t be the same”, and that the new illness would “affect him greatly”.

Following the September health scare, the Kremlin launched a mass PR campaign to show Kadyrov in good health, but the presidential administration now seems to be on the lookout for a successor. Among the potential candidates is the commander of the Chechen special forces volunteer association Akhmat, Major General Apti Alaudinov, who has recently been appointed deputy at the Main Directorate for Military and Political Work at the Defence Ministry.

Russia uses “Iraqi” Pantsir-S1 anti-aircraft systems

Russian troops use in Ukraine custom-made Iraqi Pantsir-S1E anti-aircraft missiles and gun systems.

A video with cars in desert camouflage was released by the press service of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

The TV report showcased the Pantsir-S1 anti-aircraft system, camouflaged and used by the Iraqi armed forces, highlighting its involvement in the conflict alongside Russian anti-aircraft crews against Ukraine.

In 2012, the Iraqi government signed a contract with Russia for the supply of 24 SAMs, with the possibility of resetting another 24 systems later. It is known that in 2016, more than 20 systems were handed over to the customer, and in 2018, the country received a new batch, probably within the frame of additional orders.

Russia Deploys Tactical Nuclear Weapon Systems to Finnish Border

"Russia escalates border tensions by deploying nuclear-capable missiles directly across from NATO's newest member, Finland.

Russia has reportedly moved its Iskander-M tactical nuclear missile systems to the border with Finland, a move seen as a direct response to Finland's NATO membership since April last year.

Escalation at the Edge
Sources from the Russian Ministry of Defense told "Izvestia" that the deployment took place in Karelia, a region bordering Finland.

The Iskander-M systems, capable of firing both cruise and ballistic missiles—including those equipped with nuclear warheads—are part of a newly formed missile brigade within the Leningrad Military District, reestablished recently.

This strategic move reflects the growing tensions between Russia and NATO countries following Finland's shift from a neutral status to full NATO membership.

Kongsberg Upgrades NASAMS for Enhanced Defense Against Ballistic Missiles

The Norwegian company Kongsberg is working on modernizing the NASAMS anti-aircraft system.

This effort aims to include the capability to intercept ballistic missiles, according to sources within Kongsberg as cited by Norwegian media outlet Teknisk Ukeblad.

The reports suggest that this modernization effort aims to equip the NASAMS system with the ability to intercept ballistic targets.

This could potentially address a need for long-range missile defense systems in Norway, where such systems are currently lacking.

Russia’s Historic Submarine Rescue Ship Looks Undamaged After Claimed Strike
Ukraine’s armed forces claimed to have hit the historic submarine rescue and salvage vessel Kommuna in Sevastopol yesterday.

The Russian Navy's unique submarine rescue and salvage vessel Kommuna, which is more than 100 years old, shows no clearly visible signs of being damaged by a Ukrainian strike yesterday based on satellite imagery. Despite being one of the oldest naval vessels in active service anywhere in the world, Kommuna continues to offer a range of valuable underwater search and recovery capabilities that could make it an attractive target.

The War Zone obtained satellite imagery taken earlier today from Planet Labs showing Kommuna in port in Sevastopol on the Russian-occupied Crimean Peninsula. Another satellite image captured on April 20 also shows the very distinctive catamaran-hulled ship in the same location and in the same apparent condition.

Russia quietly exits Karabakh, ceding its clout 'for good'
Baku (AFP) – When Russian troops deployed to Nagorno-Karabakh four years ago, their task was clear: keep the peace between bitter foes Armenia and Azerbaijan and prevent another war in the volatile region.

But as Azerbaijani forces swept through mountainous Karabakh last September and crushed Armenian separatist forces in a matter of hours, the Russian mission looked lost.

The Kremlin this week quietly confirmed that the peacekeepers were withdrawing, taking with them their weapons and hardware, as well as Russian clout from a region it long considered its own backyard.

Estonian defense spending could hit 5% of GDP soon, says commander
Martin Herem, an Estonian general and the current Commander of the Estonian Defence Forces, has been quoted as saying by the Estonian Public Broadcasting service, ERR News, that the amount of money Tallinn spends on defense could rise to 5% of the country’s GDP over the next few years.

The extra spending would allow Estonia to invest ¤1.5 billion to upgrade its arms and ammunition to deter the Kremlin from attacking, and also allow for the country to destroy Russian infrastructure should Russia decide to attack.

“In the next few years, the defense budget should be significantly higher than it is now, and then it can be a bit lower again because we know how much goes to procurement and how much goes to maintenance. It should not be 5% for the next 10 years, maybe 5% for the next two years and then a little lower,” he was quoted as saying, adding that “this is not just a question of asking for extra money, but a specifically operationalized need.”

Herem, who will leave the military service in June, said that “percentages can be too general and the EDF could instead specify the exact amount of funding needed in the coming years,” ERR News states.

“When Russia comes out of Ukraine, it will take a few years to prepare. I think we may not have more than three years. We have done the calculations, but we are ¤1.5 billion munitions short,” said Herem, according to ERR News.

“It is already known how many Russian forces could be sent to Estonia and how to stop them quickly,” the military commander told the news service.

“It is not Estonia alone, it is us together with our allies, but we have to spend our share in advance. For ammunition, it would be ¤1.5 billion. It means fighting a war where most of the targets are destroyed not in contact with us, but further away. And this is where the Ukrainians are struggling today. They can only destroy those enemies with whom they are nose to nose.”

Putin’s Propagandists Rage Against the Republican ‘Betrayal’
Kremlin mouthpieces are having a hard time explaining why a supposedly sympathetic US Congress has just passed a huge military aid package for Ukraine.

It seems like only yesterday Russia’s propagandists were rejoicing over the successful interruption of the US aid to Ukraine, reportedly at the behest of former US President Donald Trump.

The delay has undoubtedly cost countless lives and imperiled Ukraine’s critical infrastructure, left wide open due to diminished air defenses. Russian state TV had delighted in the destruction of the Trypilska Thermal Power Plant, the largest supplier of electricity to Kyiv, Cherkasy, and Zhytomyr regions, remarking that it will take years to rebuild it.

Celebrating the decline in Ukraine’s capabilities without American help, prominent propagandists started to refer to Speaker of the House Mike Johnson as “our Johnson,” in a similar vein to claiming Trump as their own, calling him “our Trump” or affectionately referring to him as Trumpushka.

When Speaker Johnson finally advanced the long-stalled aid package and the House approved $61bn of desperately needed foreign aid for Ukraine — including a measure to allow the sale of frozen Russian sovereign assets to help Ukraine’s war effort — the disappointment in Moscow was palpable.

The German company Knauf announced its complete withdrawal from Russia
The building materials manufacturer Knauf is ceasing to operate in the Russian Federation after more than 30 years. The company did not name the reasons for leaving the Russian market, indicating only that this was happening against the backdrop of “current events.”

The German manufacturer of building materials Knauf is completely curtailing work on the Russian market. On Monday, April 22, the world-famous family concern confirmed that “the Knauf group, against the background of current events, has decided, after more than 30 years in Russia, to part with its business” in this country.

The company said in a statement that it had decided to transfer the entire business, including raw material extraction, production and sales, to local management in order to preserve the jobs of more than 4,000 employees. Russian authorities have yet to approve it.

Knauf did not name specific reasons for curtailing its business in Russia. Recently, the concern, whose turnover in 2022 amounted to 15.4 billion euros, again came under fire due to its work in the Russian Federation, as well as in the Russian-occupied Ukrainian Mariupol . Since the Russian armed invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, all other German companies have already left Russia.

‘Our artillery is starving:’ Ukraine holds its breath as US set to approve $60bn of military aid
Soldiers on the front lines in Ukraine say the prospect of final approval in the US Congress of a $60 billion military aid package for Kyiv will serve as a giant morale boost as Russia looks to step up its advance.

The Ukraine aid bill, passed in the United States’ House of Representatives on Saturday, is now due to go to the Senate on Tuesday. If passed in Congress’s upper chamber then President Joe Biden has said he will sign it into law immediately, so that “we can quickly send weapons and equipment to Ukraine to meet their urgent battlefield needs.”

Ukraine’s wish list is no secret. At the top: artillery shells and air defense systems.

For months, Ukrainian soldiers on the front lines have spoken of being badly outgunned by Russian forces. President Volodymyr Zelensky recently said the ratio was 10 to one in Russia’s favor.

“To win, we need ammunition… our artillery is starving,” an artillery reconnaissance commander with the 110th mechanized brigade, callsign “Teren,” told CNN after the vote on Saturday.

Eigenlijk zouden wij gewoon mee moeten helpen aan het beveiligen van hun luchtruim. Gewoon raketten en drones neerhalen wanneer ze de grens over komen. Daar vallen tenslotte geen Russische slachtoffers bij. (al ben ik persoonlijk voor directe militaire hulp aan Oekraïne).

Putin zal daar ongetwijfeld niet blij mee zijn. En zijn vriendjes zullen spreken van escalatie. Maar Oekraïne heeft het recht om zijn grondgebied te verdedigen. En zij hebben het recht om de hulp hiervoor van wie dan ook te accepteren/er om te vragen.

Ukraine launches military charm offensive as conscription flags
(Reuters) – Far from the trenches, at orderly new centres across Ukraine, civilian recruiters armed with laptops and info packs offer patriotic volunteers opportunities to join the war.

As Ukraine’s efforts to conscript enough men to fight Russia are stymied by public scepticism, defence officials and military units are embarking on a multi-pronged charm offensive to recruit a citizens’ army to resist the invasion.

This softer call-up is being conducted on job-search sites and outreach centres, as well as billboards and social media, and offers a wartime novelty: an element of choice.

Candidates can select their precise unit and roles suiting their skills, for instance, as well as how long they will serve.

Greece in talks to send one Patriot battery to Ukraine, but seeks US security assurance first
On April 22, FT wrote that some EU and NATO member states are putting pressure on Greece and Spain to provide Ukraine with more air defense systems

Greece may hand over a Patriot air defense system to Ukraine on the condition of monetary compensation from the US and security guarantees due to the threat from Turkiye, reported the Greek outlet Рronews with reference to government sources in the country.

According to the agency's interlocutors, Athens will hand over one Patriot Pac 3 battery to Ukraine, which can shoot down ballistic targets, in exchange for security guarantees from the United States. The journalists do not specify what security guarantees the country received.

In addition, if necessary, Washington will be able to transfer the Patriot to Greece from its own reserves, replacing it with the one that Athens will transfer to Kyiv, or provide monetary compensation from the aid package of more than $60 billion after the decision of the Senate and the signature of US President Joe Biden.

Greece will hand over only one battery to Ukraine, but later Kyiv will be able to receive a second one. Journalists claim that such a decision is likely to cause controversy within the country.

Czech MEP Martin Hlaváček is Disrupting Free Trade with Ukraine
The Czech MEP, who is an ally of former Prime Minister Andrej Babi¨, is trying to win the support of his colleagues in an attempt to change the rules of free trade with Ukraine. Martin Hlaváček asked all members of the European Parliament to join him in submitting amendments to further tighten restrictions on Ukrainian agricultural goods as part of continued trade liberalization measures.

He made the move just before a plenary vote in Strasbourg, in which MEPs will vote on extending the free trade regime for a year, albeit with restrictions. If Hlaváček gets enough support, it would bring the process to a halt as the EU Parliament soon goes into recess ahead of the elections in early June. Then the term of Ukraine’s access to the EU market expires.

A protégé of Babi¨, a former prime minister who made his $3.5 billion fortune in agriculture, is again submitting the amendments after similar attempts failed in February and March. “The negotiations did not lead to satisfactory results for EU farmers,” Hlaváček stressed, referring to the tripartite talks between the European institutions. “That is why I still believe that our amendments can significantly contribute to improving conditions for farmers and address the shortcomings of the Commission’s original proposal,” he added.

Ukraine's Minister of Agrarian Policy Charged With Corruption
Mykola Solskyi has been handed a notice of suspicion of illegal land acquisition. Ukraine’s anti-corruption agencies accuse Solskyi of unlawfully seizing millions of dollars worth of land.

Officers of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) have presented the current Minister of Agrarian Policy, Mykola Solskyi with a notice of suspicion.

Solskyi is suspected of illegally seizing 2.5 thousand hectares of land in the Sumy region, according to a message posted by the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO) on Telegram.

The prosecutor suspects the former chairman of the Agrarian Committee of the Verkhovna Rada and the current Minister of seizing land in the Sumy region – an area of about 2.5 thousand hectares worth Hr.291 million ($7.3 million) – and an attempt to seize land with an area of about 3.3 thousand hectares for another Hr.190 million ($4.8 million).

The report further states that for the implementation of the scheme, its participants first ensured the destruction of documents on the basis of which state-owned enterprises had the right to permanent use of land.

Later, this became the basis for the regional StateGeoCadastre land registry service to draw up an act on the unauthorized occupation of these land plots by state-owned enterprises.

"How it looks like now: a man of conscription age went abroad, showed his state that he does not care about its survival, and then comes and wants to receive services from this state. It does not work this way. Our country is at war," Kuleba emphasised.

He reminded men liable for military service that the obligation to update their data at the territorial military enlistment offices existed even before the adoption of the new mobilisation law.

"If anyone believes that while someone is fighting far away at the frontline and risking his or her life for this state, someone else is staying abroad but receiving services from this state, then this is not how it works. Staying abroad does not relieve a citizen of his or her duties to the Homeland. That is why yesterday I ordered measures to restore fair attitudes toward men of conscription age in Ukraine and abroad. This will be fair," he said.

He added that soon the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will provide further clarification regarding the procedure for obtaining consular services for men of conscription age at diplomatic missions abroad.

Background:
• On 11 April, the Verkhovna Rada passed in full the bill on issues of mobilisation, military registration and military service.
• Meanwhile, Rob Bauer, Chair of the NATO Military Committee, considers additional mobilisation in Ukraine necessary.

Swedish Navy chief says Russian 'shadow fleet' of oil tankers possibly conducting espionage in Baltic Sea
Russia's "shadow fleet" of oil tankers is possibly conducting espionage in the Baltic Sea as well as helping circumvent sanctions on the trade of Russian oil, said Swedish Navy chief Ewa Skoog Haslum, in comments to the SVT public broadcaster published on April 22.

The shadow fleet refers to aging and largely uninsured oil tankers that Russia uses to transport oil above the $60 per barrel price cap that the EU, the U.S., and the Group of Seven (G7) countries imposed in December 2022 as part of the effort to cut Moscow's fossil fuels revenue.

Haslum said some of the ships from the shadow fleet have been found to possess communications and signals equipment not usually associated with cargo vessels, leading to concerns they could be used in "hybrid operations."

The equipment could possibly be used to intercept communications or perform other acts of espionage, she added.

Beyond their use to bypass sanctions and possibly conduct espionage, there has been concern that the shadow fleet could be a potential threat to the environment. The Financial Times (FT) reported in November 2023 that Denmark could start inspecting and potentially blocking the transit of Russian oil tankers operating in its waters without Western insurance.

As Western insurance carriers will not cover ships violating the price cap, the move would likely cause a significant impact to the transit of oil through the Baltic Sea. It is unclear if Denmark has made any progress in implementing the plan.

Haslum echoed the concerns about the possible impact to the Baltic Sea, saying the shadow fleet could become both a "security and environmental tragedy."

In Georgia they protested against a conference from the “institute” of former FSB employees - video
A conference called “Russia and the World: Dialogues - 2024” was held in the capital of Georgia, where issues of “traditional values” were discussed: activists came to protest against it. Source: Sirena, Agency

One of the co-organizers of the event was the National Research Institute for the Development of Communications (NIIKR), led by former intelligence and KGB officer Vladimir Gasumyanov. In the evening, Georgian activists threw eggs at the Tiflis Palace hotel, where the conference was held, expressing their dissatisfaction.

During the rally, they chanted: “Putin is f*cked.”

The Agency reports that NIIKR was founded in 2020. One of its founders was Lieutenant General Nikolai Gribin, a former KGB officer in Copenhagen and head of the 3rd KGB department, responsible for relations with Britain, Australia and the Scandinavian countries. Another founder was businesswoman Irina Zavesnitskaya, who, according to some sources, had a common address with Vladislav Gasumyanov, director of the Scientific Research Institute of Innovative Development.

According to Gasumyanov’s official biography, he worked in the KGB, SVR and FSB from 1982 to 2001. In addition, he served as deputy head of the Presidential Administration for Interregional and Cultural Relations with Foreign Countries and was a member of the board of directors of Norilsk Nickel. Since 2015, he has been teaching at the Department of Corporate Security at MGIMO.

In addition to Gasumyanov and Gribin, the supervisory board of NIIKR includes other former employees of Soviet and Russian intelligence services, including Lieutenant General Anatoly Bolyukh, ex-deputy head of the FSB counterintelligence operations department Lieutenant General Boris Miroshnikov and former deputy director of the Federal Counterintelligence Service, as well as former secretary Security Council of the Russian Federation - Valentina Soboleva.

In addition to Georgia, it was decided to hold the “Russia and the World” conference in Belarus, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and South Ossetia (the occupied part of Georgia).

Thousands of European flights reportedly affected by suspected Russian jamming
Thousands of flights to and from Europe have been reportedly affected by suspected Russian jamming of GPS systems.

According to a report by The Sun based on data from the website GPSJAM.org, some 46,000 aircraft have reported problems over the Baltic Sea since last August, with most of them occurring in Eastern Europe near borders with Russia.

Russia has been accused of jamming GPS signals in nearby countries such as Finland as far back as the 2010s, and several recent high-profile incidents of jamming have highlighted the issue.

Most notably, Russia is believed to have jammed the satellite signal of a Royal Air Force aircraft used to transport U.K. Defence Minister Grant Shapps.

The aircraft, which was traveling back to Britain from Poland on March 13, was jammed for about 30 minutes as it flew by Russia's Kaliningrad region.

GPS signal and internet on board the aircraft were inaccessible for the duration of the aircraft's flight near Kaliningrad where the jamming signals are thought to originate.

A spokesperson for U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak confirmed the incident at the time, noting it was "not unusual."

Aircraft rely on GPS for navigation but the U.K.’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) played down the risk to passenger safety.

"Aviation is one of the safest forms of air travel, and there are several safety protocols in place to protect navigation systems on commercial aircraft," Glenn Bradley, the head of flight operations at the CAA, told the Guardian.

"GPS jamming does not directly impact the navigation of an aircraft, and while it is a known issue, this does not mean an aircraft has been jammed deliberately."

Russia Drops X-59 Missile on Belgorod in Latest Self-Bombing
Russia has mistakenly dropped a missile on its own territory near to the Ukraine border, marking the latest self-bombing incident in the ongoing war.

An X-59 missile was discovered in a field near the village of Krasnoye in Russia's Belgorod region on April 19, Astra reported on its Telegram channel on Monday. "The military had to destroy it on the spot. There was no damage [caused] or victims," the independent Russian outlet said.

Newsweek couldn't independently verify the report and has contacted Russia's Defense Ministry by email for additional comment. The Kremlin hasn't commented on the latest incident reported in Belgorod.

Rishi Sunak vows to boost UK defence spending to 2.5% of GDP by 2030
Rishi Sunak has promised billions more for defence to counter threats from "an axis of authoritarian states".

The prime minister said UK military spending would rise to 2.5% of national income by 2030, in a move that hardens a previous spending pledge.

He stressed the UK was "not on the brink of war" but claimed the extra money would put the country's defence industry "on a war footing".

Labour is also committed to a 2.5% target, when economic conditions allow.

Making the defence announcement during a visit to Poland, Mr Sunak said the UK was facing the most dangerous international environment since the days of the Cold War between the West and the former Soviet Union.

The investment was required because the UK was facing an "axis of authoritarian states with different values to ours," including Russia, Iran, North Korea, and China, he said.

These countries, he argued, were showing a "new assertiveness" and were increasingly working together.

It represents a significant increase in UK defence spending, but it will not change the size of the UK armed forces or reverse cuts to the size of the army.

A video circulating on social media appears to show Russian forces filming the detonation of a 2S5 Giatsint-S self-propelled howitzer in an open field at an undisclosed location in eastern Ukraine's Donbas region. It is not clear what caused the explosion or whether the system was damaged beyond repair.

An open-source intelligence account sharing the footage said the video was filmed on Monday.

Ukrainian troops destroyed Russian 2S4 Tyulpan self-propelled mortar in the Luhansk region

Ukrainian Defense Forces artillery destroyed a Russian 240mm Tyulpan self-propelled mortar near Lysychansk.

The Division-TIVAZ Telegram channel published the video of the defeat.

The Russians set up a mortar firing position on the border of a forest and a field near a road on the temporarily occupied territory.

The authors of the video did not specify what weapons were used to hit the Russian 2S4 Tyulpan, but it is clear that it was hit by a high-precision munition, possibly from a HIMARS rocket system.

As a result of the strike, the ammunition of the Russian 240-mm mortar ignited and exploded, leading to the complete destruction of the Tyulpan self-propelled mortar.

U.S. preparing new $1 billion military aid package for Ukraine – Reuters
According to Reuters sources, the aid package will include weapons that can "immediately be put to use on the battlefield"

The United States will provide a new $1 billion military aid package to Ukraine once the $61 billion bill is approved by the Senate and signed by President Joe Biden, Reuters reported, citing two American officials.

The sources told the news agency's journalists that the aid package will include vehicles, Stinger anti-aircraft ammunition, additional ammunition for high mobility artillery rocket systems, 155 mm caliber artillery ammunition, and TOW and Javelin anti-tank ammunition, among other weapons that can "immediately be put to use on the battlefield."

Following the signing of the Ukrainian-Israeli bill, funding for the replenishment of American stocks will be restored. This will allay the Pentagon's concerns about the use of presidential authority to reduce U.S. weapons to aid Ukraine, the publication noted.

Against this backdrop, Reuters reported that American defense companies expect to receive more government contracts as Russia's war against Ukraine continues.

Ambassador: Ukraine in talks to set up joint production of Patriot systems
Kyiv is pushing Washington for the joint production of Patriot air defense systems to help Ukraine fend off Russia's war, Ukrainian Ambassador to the U.S. Oksana Markarova said in an interview with European Pravda on April 23.

Ukraine is facing a shortage of air defense systems amid an uptick in Russian attacks on population centers and energy infrastructure. U.S.-made Patriot systems are highly effective at intercepting Russia's ballistic and cruise missiles.

According to President Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukraine needs 25 Patriots to protect the country from Russian attacks, but Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said he is for now focused on securing seven to protect Ukraine's largest cities.

The joint production of Patriots was one of the top issues discussed during Zelensky's visits to the U.S., according to Markarova.

"This is a major global strategic task and an element of economic cooperation. But it is also an increase in combat capability and production of the capabilities that Ukraine needs immediately," the ambassador said.

Representatives of Ukrainian and U.S. businesses have already reportedly met to discuss investment and cooperation not only in weapons, but also in materials needed to launch the production.

"We should start producing a lot of products ourselves, at least components, and at most already completed products," Markarova added.

Ukraine has agreements on joint defense production with a number of countries, including the U.S.

Kyiv and Washington signed a statement of intent on the co-production of weapons in December 2023.

The agreement between the two nations will reportedly contribute to the construction of production facilities in Ukraine to supply the military with arms, in particular air defense equipment and ammunition, as well as repair and maintenance services.

NATO has no plans to deploy nuclear weapons in other countries – Stoltenberg
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has said that the Alliance currently has no plans to deploy nuclear weapons in other countries as part of its deterrence efforts.

Source: Jens Stoltenberg, at a press conference in Poland together with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on 23 April, European Pravda reports

Details: Stoltenberg was asked to comment on whether NATO countries are talking about expanding the Nuclear Sharing programme.

Quote: "There are no plans to expand NATO sharing arrangements, no plans to deploy any more nuclear weapons in any additional NATO countries."

More details: Nuclear Sharing is NATO's nuclear deterrence programme. It allows for provision of nuclear warheads to NATO member states that do not have nuclear weapons of their own.

Within the framework of this programme, NATO has deployed US nuclear weapons to Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Türkiye since November 2009.

The previous Polish government actively supported the idea of joining the Nuclear Sharing programme among NATO countries in response to Russia's decision to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus.

Recently, Polish President Andrzej Duda's statement about the possible deployment of nuclear weapons led to his public dispute with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk.

Senate overwhelmingly passes long-delayed Ukraine and Israel aid
After months of intense, multi-faceted fighting over foreign aid, the $95 billion bill that could also ban TikTok is headed to President Joe Biden's desk.

The Senate sent a $95 billion foreign aid package for Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan to the president's desk Tuesday — a long-awaited result after months of congressional haggling over whether to provide funding for the allies.

The bill also included a provision that would require TikTok's parent company to either sell the social media app or face a ban, as well as a measure that permits selling off Russian oligarch assets.

Though the legislation passed with bipartisan support, 79-18, the political ramifications will be felt throughout the Capitol. It’s a win for Democrats and defense-focused Republicans on the critical issue of Ukraine aid, but a swath of conservatives are incensed with party leadership for allowing the bill through.

Drones attack Russia - Drone falls in Lipetsk, oil depot burns in Smolensk region
In the night, the Russian Federation was again attacked by drones. A drone crashed in the city of Lipetsk, and an oil depot is on fire in the Smolensk region, according to Telegram channels of Igor Artamonov, governor of the Lipetsk region, and Vasily Anokhin, governor of the Smolensk region, and local public groups.

During the attack, a UAV fell in the industrial zone of the city of Lipetsk.

There are no casualties. Law enforcement officers are working at the scene.

Meanwhile, an oil depot caught fire in the Smolensk region. After the drone attacks, fires occurred at fuel and energy facilities in two districts of the region.

"It is quite possible that as a result of the enemy's attack on civilian fuel and energy facilities in the territory of the Smolensk and Yartsevo districts, fires occurred. The Ministry of Emergency Situations is on the spot eliminating the consequences. I urge you to remain calm and not to panic," wrote Vasily Anokhin, governor of the Smolensk region.

Largest convoy of fire and rescue vehicles leaves UK for Ukraine
33 vehicles set off from Kent carrying ‘vital’ equipment for country’s ‘heroic firefighters’ including ladders and breathing kits

A convoy of fire and rescue vehicles has set off from the UK to deliver emergency firefighting aid to Ukraine.

The 33 vehicles, including 20 fire engines – the largest convoy of its kind to date – left Kent on Tuesday morning carrying more than 2,800 pieces of equipment such as ladders, boats and breathing kits to the war-torn country.

More than 100 volunteers from 15 fire services, which have donated the equipment, and the organisation Fire Aid, are taking part in the convoy, which has been sponsored by the Home Office.

In an exclusive article for The Telegraph, Chris Philp, a Home Office minister, said the equipment is vital for the “heroic firefighters” of Ukraine, 91 of whom had given their lives during the conflict helping rescue victims of Vladimir Putin’s war.

“Putin is intentionally targeting civilians and civilian buildings in Ukraine, leading to unprecedented demands on the fire and rescue services that respond to these attacks,” he said.

“The fact the Ukrainian fire and rescue services have been able to respond to this number of incidents while suffering significant losses of personnel and equipment, is staggering.”

Geen commentaar van de VS meer. Ik vraag me af of dat nog iets te betekenen heeft. Ze kregen terecht nogal wat woedende reacties op hun gelul over Rusland niet aanvallen, en andere landen zeiden gewoon dat het niet hun zorg was of ze dat deden. Stoltenberg zei het ook al in februari.

Ik weet niet de precieze nummers meer maar bij de gevangenen ruil werden er een heleboel Oekraïense gevangen voor hem geruild.

Al kan ik mij vergissen. Het begin van de oorlog is al erg lang geleden tenslotte.

The US quietly shipped long-range ATACMS missiles to Ukraine

WASHINGTON, April 24 (Reuters) - The United States in recent weeks secretly shipped long-range missiles to Ukraine for use in its battle to fight off Russian invaders, and Ukraine last week used them for the first time, a U.S. official said on Wednesday.

The missiles were contained in a $300 million military aid package for Ukraine that U.S. President Joe Biden approved on March 12, said the U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity. The official would not say how many of the missiles were sent.

The missiles were used for the first time in the early hours of April 17, launched against a Russian airfield in Crimea that was about 165 km (103 miles) from the Ukrainian front lines, the official said.

Whether to send the Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) with a range up to 300 km was a subject of debate within the Biden administration for months. Mid-range ATACMS were supplied last September.

The Pentagon initially opposed the long-range missile deployment, fearing the loss of the missiles from the American stockpile would hurt U.S. military readiness. There were also concerns that Ukraine would use them to attack targets deep inside Russia.

Russia's use of North Korean-supplied long-range ballistic missiles against Ukraine in December and January, despite U.S. public and private warnings not to do so, led to a change in heart, the U.S. official said.

Also a factor in U.S. decision-making was Russia's targeting of Ukraine's critical infrastructure, the official said.

"We warned Russia about those things," the official said. "They renewed their targeting."

In late January the U.S. military found a way to satisfy their concerns about military readiness, which enabled the administration to move forward. They began acquiring new missiles coming off the Lockheed-Martin production line.

Biden met with his national security team in mid-February and agreed to accept the unanimous recommendation of his advisers to send the missiles to Ukraine. Involved in the discussion were national security adviser Jake Sullivan, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman C.Q. Brown.

The challenge at that point was to figure out how to pay for the missiles. The United States had exhausted all of its funding options and congressional gridlock stymied further aid.

An opportunity arose in March, when several Pentagon contracts came in under bid. Biden was able to use the difference to send $300 million in assistance to Ukraine.

Biden told his team to include the long-range ATACMS in this funding package, but to do so secretly in order to maintain operational security and the element of surprise for Ukraine, the official said.
