>JUST IN - U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee approves $500 million in military aid for Ukraine. Trump personally allocated this package of weapons to Ukraine for the first time in his second presidential term. Until this point, the US under his administration only sent supplies that were approved under Biden.
Fuck. I know he’s done a lot of good but bombing Iran, downplaying Epstein, and now approving more Ukraine aid. Come on Trump.

>Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) Oleksandr Syrsky has two main options left to help Kyiv avoid defeat in the military conflict with Moscow, writes the Swiss newspaper Neue Zürcher Zeitung.

>The first is to try to minimize losses in the face of Russian advancement and prevent large units from being encircled. The second involves a gradual withdrawal from the front line and the occupation of new positions. It is designed to "prevent capitulation and preserve the army" even if the outcome of the negotiations is unfavorable for Ukraine, NZZ reports.

>The newspaper writes that Ukraine is considering the second option, as evidenced by the creation of fortifications 20 km from the front line.
