Summary of Zelensky met with ‘tepid reception’ in US – WSJ
https://mf.b37mrtl.ru/files/2024.09/article/66fa9daf85f540164d59ca26.jpg
The source article:
#nevent1q…3dtc
Ukraine's Zelensky failed to secure US approval for striking into Russia with long-range missiles during his recent visit, highlighting a lack of significant American support in the conflict. His proposed "victory plan" includes Western security guarantees, military advancements, and financial aid. However, Washington's tepid response indicates caution towards actions seen as provocation by Moscow. Without a substantial increase in military assistance, Ukraine's chances of reclaiming disputed territories remain slim. Russian objections to the plan underscore the high stakes involved, with Putin warning of NATO's potential involvement in a conflict escalation. The situation remains precarious as Kiev seeks Western backing for its strategic goals amidst ongoing tensions with Russia.

#nevent1q…k267
Poland's foreign minister, Radoslaw Sikorski, has called on European governments to halt the provision of welfare benefits to Ukrainian men of military age who are living in the EU. Sikorski believes that this would help Ukraine to call up more troops to fight against Russian forces. Ukraine's foreign minister, Andrey Sibiga, has welcomed Sikorski's call, saying that it is time to develop programs to return Ukrainians home. Over 4 million Ukrainians have fled their country since the conflict with Russia began in 2022, and adult men make up slightly more than a fifth of the total.

Summary of Kursk kamikaze attack: The price of Ukraine’s foolish gamble is becoming clearer by the day
#nevent1q…9hsg
The Kursk incursion by Kiev into Russian territory was a disastrous move, resulting in significant losses for Ukraine. The operation aimed to pressure Moscow into negotiations but instead hardened Russia’s stance. By diverting elite troops from other fronts, Ukraine suffered rapid defeats, with key locations falling to Russian forces. The incursion also aimed to push Western allies to provide deeper military support, a move which backfired as it only worsened the situation for Ukraine. The Kursk Kamikaze was a reckless endeavor that has backfired spectacularly, causing severe backlash and criticism towards Zelensky's regime both domestically and internationally. Ultimately, the ill-conceived operation has only weakened Ukraine's position and strengthened Russia's resolve.

#nevent1q…47uz
Moscow considers the supply of long-range missiles to Ukraine a serious issue, warning that it could lead to a third world war. The US is reportedly close to approving this supply, despite Russia's opposition. While Ukrainian President Zelensky downplays Russia's red lines, Moscow continues to respond to provocations in a manner that leverages its military superiority. The recent incursion into Russia's Kursk Region did not elicit the anticipated response from Moscow, which instead reinforced its troops near Donetsk.

Bullet points of Zelensky blames FM for lackluster arms donations – media
- Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky accused Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba of failing to secure more arms supplies from Western sponsors, leading to his resignation amid a major cabinet reshuffle.
- More than half of Ukraine's senior government members will be replaced in the overhaul, with First Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Sibiga set to replace Kuleba.
- Zelensky's office reportedly believes that attention in Washington is now focused on the November presidential election, alleviating any pressure over his decision to remove Kuleba.
- The reshuffle is seen as a move to further consolidate power for Zelensky and his chief-of-staff Andrey Yermak in the face of falling public approval.
- Zelensky intends to create a new ministry to lure Ukrainians living abroad to return to the country, as draft avoidance is a major problem for Kiev's efforts to replenish troops in the conflict with Russia.
- Kuleba had been perceived by Ukraine's foreign backers as the highest-profile target of the cull, and had been unsuccessful in his efforts to secure Western long-range arms for strikes deep inside Russia.
- Zelensky told MPs that the diplomat 'lacks the energy to push forward the supplies of weapons', citing his failure to secure more arms supplies from Western sponsors.
- The Ukrainian parliament failed to approve some of the proposed cabinet changes, leading to Zelensky meeting with members of his faction to explain his intentions.
