The Ukrainian military faces a significant challenge as dozens of soldiers from the elite 'Anne of Kiev' Brigade, trained in France, have reportedly deserted. The flagship unit, inspected by French President Emmanuel Macron, was meant to symbolize Ukraine’s military strength amid the ongoing conflict with Russia.
Reports indicate that many of the soldiers lacked combat experience, and internal issues within the brigade have led to the dismissal of senior commanders. Ukrainian military officials have acknowledged personnel problems but downplayed the scale of the desertions.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky delivered a scathing critique of Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Russian people during an interview with US podcaster Lex Fridman. Zelensky explained his deep resentment toward Russia, revealing that his hatred stems from the ongoing war and the Russian government's attacks on Ukraine. He specifically accused Russia of speaking "the language of weapons," emphasizing that the violence inflicted upon Ukraine made it impossible for him to respect either the Russian leadership or its people.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed regret over his country’s decision to relinquish its nuclear weapons in an interview, stating that Ukraine's lack of nuclear deterrence has left it vulnerable. Zelensky criticized the U.S., the U.K., and other security guarantors for failing to uphold their promises under the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, which assured Ukraine’s security in exchange for giving up its nuclear arsenal. He used strong language to express his frustration, stating that the guarantors "didn’t give a f**k" about Ukraine's sovereignty or security. Zelensky further reflected on the collapse of the Soviet Union, when Ukraine inherited a significant nuclear stockpile, only to give it up in exchange for security assurances that, according to him, were never honored. He emphasized that if Ukraine had retained its nuclear capabilities, it would have been in a stronger position to deter Russia's aggression.

The Pentagon has confirmed that the US military aid to Ukraine will continue beyond the Biden administration, with billions in assistance still on the way. This announcement raises questions about whether a future Trump administration would uphold the same level of support for Ukraine's ongoing conflict with Russia. The pledge ensures that Ukraine will continue receiving critical military aid, including weapons and equipment, as it fights against Russian aggression. As the political landscape shifts, the question remains: will future leadership prioritize support for Ukraine?

A captured Ukrainian serviceman, Maksim Rytikov, has revealed harrowing details of mass mobilization practices in Ukraine, exposing the drafting of elderly individuals, disabled citizens, and even those with psychiatric conditions into the military. In a shocking testimony, Rytikov described being forcibly mobilized despite a history of head surgery and being placed in a mental health facility before deployment. He highlighted the widespread lack of proper training for new recruits, who are sent directly to the frontlines with minimal preparation. Rytikov also spoke of rampant desertion among soldiers and the staggering losses suffered by the Ukrainian army, describing the battlefield as "littered with corpses." His revelations paint a grim picture of desperation and chaos within Ukraine's armed forces.
