Zelensky visited Poland today and both countries signed a security agreement.
He expected Poland to donate the last remaining MiG-29s to Ukraine, but he was told to fvck off in a diplomatic way, as the Polish PM said these planes are needed for the Baltic air policy mission. I’ve checked that and Poland has not deployed any MiG-29s in the Baltic states since 2015.
He also asked the Polish PM to order the Polish Army to shoot down RuZZian missiles over Western Ukraine. The answer was, the decision about it must be made by NATO rather than Poland. As we know, old Vik will veto it
The Polish government agreed to train and equip a Ukrainian legion made out of Ukrainian citizens living in Poland.
The Americans pressed Poland to donate the only operational Polish Patriot battery to Ukraine, but they were told to fvck off.

To be fair, the air would be really good to breathe in a country without industry or cars.

Regarding casualties:
Mediazona have adopted a new method for their counting Russian losses. Previously, they'd only counted dead Russians who could be identified by name (e.g. from obituaries or mentions by relatives in the social media), but they now include registered inheritances as well. The journalists were able to verify this method when the names of Wagner mercenaries killed in the Battle of Bachmut were leaked to the press. Mediazona estimated 16,000 men to have died, the real number was 17,000. In other words, the method seems to be fairly accurate.
According to their updated count, the Russians would have suffered at least 120,000 men killed in action (margin of error 106,000-140,000). This figure does not include men from the "People's Republics" of Luhansk and Donetsk. The dynamics of the events are also remarkable: In the last quarter of 2023, Meduza counted around 120 casualties per day; in the first half of 2024, the figure was already 250 per day. (Source)
It must be assumed that for every man killed, there are 2+ wounded, captured or missing.
Russia's demographic crisis will be exacerbated by this war.
Regarding what happened in Kyiv yesterday:
Reisner interprets the intensified attacks on civilian infrastructure as an attempt to trigger a new wave of refugees and cause political chaos in Europe. (Source) German broadcaster 'ZDF' reports that 85 to 90 per cent of Ukraine's thermal power generation capacity and 45 per cent of its hydroelectric power generation capacity have been damaged or destroyed. (Source) This is precisely the kind of strategy for which the ICC seeks to arrest Shoigu and others. A sufficient power supply being vital for survival in this day and age, destroying it deliberately and beyond military necessity constitutes an act of attempted genocide under international law.

For every civilian target in Ukraine 10 should hit Russia Proper, it is no less than war crimes and any nation that is not on board with that should be totally locked out of all free world commerce, no excuses. No chest beating by putin today, he has helped the free world by eliminating Russia from any offensive actions again. He has no worthy Tank force today and the threat of attacking after Ukraine has been stopped in it's tracks. Ukraine wasn't bull sh tting when they said they would defend their country. With allies like North Korea what possibly could go wrong for Russia and their future. The Chinese allowed supplies to go to North Vietnam but at a very high price. They took what ever they wanted off the top when they stopped the trains going across their rail lines for inspection. Most of the North Vietnamese supply came from Russia and it was planned that way by China who was not a friend to Russia as they like it to appear today,. they still don't trust Russia.

Video of the study of Ukrainian Storm Shadow/SCALP cruise missiles in Russia. This is the most detailed video footage of the internals of the Shadow and SCALP missiles to date. The Storm Shadow and SCALP missiles were developed by the French company Matra and the English British Aerospace, and are now produced by the European company MBDA. In the video, Russian specialists show the cumulative part of SCALP missiles, the engine, control equipment, electronics, servos, rudders and various missile design elements.
