British Foreign Minister David Cameron said that unlike Israel, which London helped shoot down Iranian drones last weekend, his country cannot help Ukraine to avoid "a direct confrontation between NATO forces and the Russian army."
"I think the difficulty is that if you want to avoid an expansion of the war in Europe, I think the only thing you need to avoid is a direct confrontation between NATO forces and Russian forces. That would be a danger of escalation."
A US House vote on Ukraine aid isn’t likely until at least mid-April and possibly later with Speaker Mike Johnson still searching for ways to soften opposition from Republican hardliners, multiple party leadership officials said.

Looking back on history, it is hard to understand how so many awful things took place: world wars, genocides, war crimes, etc
But right here and now we have a front row seat of horror unfolding. Johnson willingly doing nothing, entertaining and supporting crackpot "politicians", while thousands die. This is what failure looks like. Pretty hard to tell how all this will end, but will probably go down in history as (yet) another human horror show.

I feel some of their joy when they get a hit - it must be such a victory to knock the enemy's death missile out the sky. Like when your team scores a goal, but x 1000. Great job!

Any republicans who might sign are probably too spineless unless it looks like it will succeed (i.e. they need assurance that colleagues will also sign). Sadly various dems won't sign, so if the gap doesn't close substantially, it's probably dead.
The guys from Tactical Group "Pegasus" send their regards for the NAFO truck + EW system, funded with donations from the December campaign. I can tell you, this car already has an amazing track record.
House Speaker Mike Johnson informed Republican senators that the House plans to send legislation to aid Ukraine, but it will differ significantly from the Senate's $95 billion foreign aid package that was adopted with a bipartisan majority.
Alexander Müller (FDP), a leading member of the German Bundestag’s defence committee, said that 'there are one or two things, that cannot be discussed publicly, that rightly make Chancellor Scholz hesitant to send Taurus to Ukraine.'
Grim footage from the battlefield in Ukraine. A broken down Russian column was recorded by Code 9.2, a unit within the 92nd Assault Brigade. Lots of destroyed heavy equipment and killed Russian infantry can be seen. Likely the Bakhmut direction.

I mean, is this even warfare? Sending "troops" in groups across open ground in an area being bombarded by all kinds of munitions? Its fubar
Early this morning, St. Petersburg was woken up by explosions. Presumably Ukrainian drones attacked the area. Russia media claim the target could have been the Ruchy oil depot. There was damage to a residential building due to falling debris.

Imagine living in a country that pointlessly declares war on their neighbour, and then as a result, you have to get woken up by air raid sirens and risk of retaliation 🤦
