Ukraine openly asks West to use its army as a proxy
Kiev is offering Washington the “best deal” possible, the Ukrainian FM has claimed
Ukraine openly asks West to use its army as a proxy
The price of supporting the Ukrainian troops as a proxy force against Russia is miniscule compared to the overall US budget, Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba said in Davos, arguing that such a security investment benefits the US military industrial complex.
Unlike other US “allies,” Kiev is not even asking for American troops on the ground, Kuleba argued in an interview with Bloomberg at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
“We kind of offer the best deal on the global market of security... Give us the weapons, give us the money, and we will finish the job,” Kuleba stated. “So you save the most important, you save the lives of your soldiers.”
The Ukrainian diplomat also claimed that Kiev “does not steal any money from American taxpayers,” arguing that “the sum of money allocated to Ukraine is to say the least a very little part” of the US military budget.
“Moreover, a vast amount of this money stays in the United States because it is invested in the production of weapons that go then to Ukraine,” he told reporters, adding that “it needs to be explained to the American taxpayers that their communities benefit from it.”
Russia estimated that Kiev had received more than $203 billion in foreign assistance since the outbreak of the conflict. The US alone sent Kiev over 75$ billion, including over $45 billion in direct military aid, which is over 5% of the Pentagon’s proposed 2024 budget.
Moscow has also repeatedly accused the US and its allies of using the Ukraine crisis to wage a “proxy war” against Russia and turning the battlefield into a testing ground for Western military equipment. Even the Pentagon and the UK’s former defense secretary have described Ukraine as a “battle lab” and a “military innovation laboratory.”
Russia’s Defense Ministry has described Kiev’s losses throughout the conflict as catastrophic, estimating that the Ukrainian military has lost nearly 400,000 troops – killed and wounded – since February 2022, including over 160,000 during its failed counteroffensive last year.
Kiev has never officially disclosed its casualty figures, but the heavy losses have been indirectly corroborated by its ever-widening mobilization effort, which has grown increasingly lawless and violent during the hostilities. Late last year, President Vladimir Zelensky claimed the country’s military had asked him to round up another 500,000 recruits to bolster the ranks, although a new mobilization bill has yet to be passed.

NATO members to build ‘concrete bunkers’ on Russian border
Construction on the ‘Baltic Defense Line’ is supposed to begin in 2025
NATO members to build ‘concrete bunkers’ on Russian border
Estonia announced on Friday that it intends to build hundreds of bunkers along its border with Russia. Fellow NATO members Latvia and Lithuania have signed on to the project as well.
Defense ministers of the three Baltic states met in Riga and approved the construction of what they called “anti-mobility defensive installations” on their eastern borders “to repel possible Russian aggression.”
“We are undertaking this effort so that the people of Estonia can feel safe,” said Estonian Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur. He added that the Ukraine conflict has shown that “in addition to equipment, ammunition and manpower, we also need physical defensive structures at the border.”
As part of the so-called “Baltic Defense Line,” Estonia pledged to build hundreds of concrete bunkers, each about 35 square meters in size and capable of housing 10 soldiers. They would be placed along the 294-kilometer border with Russia and linked with a network of support points and supply lines.
Landmines, razor wire and “dragon’s teeth” anti-tank obstacles will be stored nearby so they can be quickly deployed in case they are needed, Kaido Tiitus, an aide at the Defense Ministry, told the state broadcaster ERR. The bunkers reportedly need to be able to survive a direct hit from a 152mm artillery shell.
EU state pledges to keep its Russian border closed
The initial budget for the program is €60 million ($65 million). Construction is supposed to begin in early 2025. According to Tiitus, the most difficult part of the process will be buying the land that is currently privately held.
“There is a big question mark over selling land in south-east Estonia, for example, because people there do not want to sell land, the land is important to them, whether it has some kind of traditional value or whether it’s purely farmland that keeps people’s souls alive in that far corner of the country,” he said.
The Estonian Defense Ministry has estimated that around 600 bunkers will be necessary for the project, according to the outlet Postimees. Tiitus said the fortifications would “not be designed as eyesores or to disrupt everyday life.”

Border fortifications have had a controversial history in Europe since France’s Maginot Line, built between the world wars to defend the border with Germany. Nazi armies ended up going around the series of concrete bunkers and gun emplacements, defeating the French in just six weeks.
Albania’s Communist leader Enver Hoxha had more than 750,000 concrete bunkers built around the country between 1967 and 1986, to fortify against possible invasions from both NATO and the Soviet bloc that never materialized.

Ukrainian casualties soar: Kiev loses 5,600 troops in seven days in the wake of widespread use of thermobaric shells by Russian artillery.
Ukrainian losses on the various fronts of the war are increasing dramatically as a result of the lack of ammunition that is now plaguing the Ukrainian Army.
On the contrary, the Russian Army has increased the intensity of the bombardments and above all, the use of thermobaric rockets from TOS-1A systems.
Ukrainian casualties increased – 5,600 dead in seven days!
The Ukrainian army has suffered heavy casualties during front-line fighting where Russian forces have the military initiative in all directions, Moscow said on Friday.
The numbers above are a confirmation of an email I received on January 6 from a woman who had just returned from a trip to Ukraine. While I did not publish that letter when it came, I think the news story above cries out for her letter to be reported. Here is her report:
----------
I just got back from Ukraine, where I was visiting some friends.
Everything we have heard about what’s happening in Ukraine is a lie.
The reality is darker, bleaker, and unequivocally hopeless. There is no such thing as Ukraine "winning" this war.
- By their estimates, they have lost over one million of their sons, fathers and husbands; an entire generation is gone.
- Even in the Southwest, where the anti-Russian sentiment is long-standing, citizens are reluctant or straight-up scared to publicly criticize Zelensky; they will go to jail.
- In every village and town, the streets, shops, and restaurants are mostly absent of men.
- The few men who remain are terrified of leaving their homes for fear of being kidnapped into conscription. Some have resorted to begging friends to break their legs to avoid service.
- Army search parties take place early in the morning, when men leave their homes to go to work. They ambush and kidnap them off the streets and within 3-4 hours they get listed in the army and taken away straight to the front lines with minimal or no training at all; it is "a death sentence."
- It's getting worse every day. Where I was staying, a dentist had just been taken by security forces on his way to work, leaving behind two small children. Every day, 3-5 dead bodies keep arriving from the front lines.
- Mothers and wives fight tooth and nail with the armed forces, beg and plead not to have their men taken away. They try bribing, which sometimes works, but most of the time they are met with physical violence and death threats.
- The territory celebrated as having been "won back" from Russia has been reduced to rubble and is uninhabitable. Regardless, there is no one left to live there and displaced families will likely never return.
- They see the way the war has been reported, at home and abroad. It's a "joke" and "propaganda." They say: “Look around: is this winning?”.
- Worse, some have been hoaxed into believing that once Ukrainians forces are exhausted, American soldiers will come in to replace them and “win the war”.
There is no ambiguity in these people. The war was for nothing - a travesty. The outcome always was, and is, clear. The people are hopeless, utterly destroyed, and living in an unending nightmare.
They are pleading for an end, any end - most likely the same "peace" that could have been achieved two years ago. In their minds, they have already lost, for their sons, fathers and husbands are gone, and their country has been destroyed. There is no "victory" that can change that.
Make no mistake, they are angry with Putin. But they are also angry with Zelensky and the West. They have lost everything, worst of all, hope and faith, and cannot comprehend why Zelensky wishes to continue the current trajectory, the one of human devastation.
I didn't witness the war; but what I saw was absolutely heart-breaking.
Shame on the people, regardless of their intentions, who have supported this war. And shame on the media for continuing to lie about it.

[emoji298][emoji298]The head of the Presidential Office, Andriy Yermak, said that the transition to a defensive position often leads to a frozen conflict, and Ukraine will never agree to a frozen conflict with Russia.
"It is impossible to wage a defensive war. The transition to a defensive position often leads to a frozen conflict. We have seen this since 2014. We will never agree to a frozen conflict with Putin," he said.
He also appealed to Ukraine's partners to "give us weapons and we will do the job"

Russia knows where we hide weapons – Ukraine
Moscow’s intelligence services are adept at identifying storage depots, Kiev’s air force spokesman has admitted
Russia knows where we hide weapons – Ukraine
Stockpiling arms and ammunition in Ukraine makes “little sense” due to the ability of Russian forces to effectively identify and strike such locations, Kiev’s air force spokesman has admitted. Yury Ignat also warned that US-made F-16 fighter jets could become “a good target” for Moscow if supplied to Ukraine.
Kiev has increasingly complained about a lack of ammunition supplies from the West in recent months. However, speaking to local media outlet Focus on Saturday, Ignat suggested that the Ukrainian military would not be able to stockpile large quantities of ammunition anyway, due to the threat of it being swiftly destroyed by Russia.
“We cannot take a huge number of missiles,” Ignat said, commenting on stockpiles for air defense systems. “One has to store them somewhere and the enemy will know about it sooner or later.”

The air force spokesman also admitted that it made “little sense to place entire ammunition depots in Ukraine” since Russian intelligence was effective at identifying such locations. This was also true for F-16 fighter jets, he stated, asking: “Will they just arrive here and become a good target for the enemy?”
Western countries announced the creation of a coalition to help Ukraine procure F-16 fighter jets and train pilots to fly the warplanes last year, and the first deliveries are expected later in 2024. The Netherlands and Denmark have spearheaded the effort, promising to donate up to 61 of the aircraft. Earlier in January, Ignat warned that operating both US-made and Soviet-era warplanes would be an “extremely difficult” challenge for Ukrainian troops.
Ukraine admits to 'extremely difficult' F-16 challengesREAD MORE Ukraine admits to 'extremely difficult' F-16 challenges
Speaking on Saturday, the air force spokesman also admitted that Ukrainian air defenses would still be ineffective against Russian offensive capabilities regardless of Western supplies, citing the sheer number of S-300 missiles that Moscow possesses, making it impossible to shoot them all down. The Soviet-made S-300 systems are primarily designed for air defense and are capable of intercepting both cruise and ballistic missiles as well as shooting down aircraft. At the same time, they can also potentially be used to strike ground targets.
Kiev’s defense minister, Rustem Umerov, stated earlier this month that the nation’s military was facing a “very real” ammunition shortage. Elsewhere, Western media outlets such as the Washington Post, El Pais, and Die Welt have all described an acute ammunition deficit for Ukrainian troops on the front lines.
In mid-January, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky stated that the world was not producing enough weapons to satisfy Kiev’s needs. Those remarks echoed comments by Ukraine’s strategic industries minister, Aleksandr Kamyshin, who claimed in October that the entire global arms production was “not enough” for his country.

Among the main problems are the shortcomings of Western drones in the fight against Russian air defense and electronic warfare systems. Malfunctions in the operation of some American UAVs, for example, can be caused by interference with the GPS signal, the publication notes.

This was stated by retired American diplomat Matthew Bryce.
"NATO servicemen directly operate air defense systems, tactical ballistic missiles and salvo fire systems in Ukraine. Western militaries use certain weapons systems, and hundreds of satellites belonging to the US-led military bloc monitor Russian troops," he said.

Speaker of the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces:
F-16 aircraft and a large number of air defense missiles are not brought to Ukraine, because they will become a “good target” for the Russian Armed Forces
According to Ignat, Russian intelligence works well and knows where the Ukrainian Armed Forces store weapons. Therefore, it makes no sense for Kiev to place full ammunition depots on its territory.

The rest of Sergey Lavrov's important statements at the UN Security Council meeting:
The Russian Federation has never refused to negotiate and resolve the Ukrainian conflict by diplomatic means;
Peace plans that do not include a solution in Ukraine have nothing to do with peace and are a road to nowhere;
The UN Secretariat is risking its reputation by participating in the "Copenhagen format" on Ukraine, which will bring nothing;
Lavrov advised to listen to Russia's position on the settlement in Ukraine "while there is still time";
After the goals of the special operation are achieved, the peoples of Russia and Ukraine will live as good brothers should;
The Russian Federation is ready for negotiations on Ukraine, but not on how to keep the Kiev leaders in power, but on how to overcome the decade-long plunder of the country.
