According to the information of the head of staff, deputy commander of the "Kharkiv" Operational Task Group, Colonel Viktor Solimchuk, AFU destroyed the S-300 and S-400 air defence systems of the occupation army of the Russian Federation in the Belgorod region, which attacked Kharkiv.

Points of attention

  • Ukrainian troops destroyed the S-300 and S-400 air defence systems of the occupiers in the Belgorod region, which attacked Kharkiv.
  • The Armed Forces have permission to use Western weapons against military facilities in Russia.
  • The Russian army lost a significant number of troops and equipment during the offensive in the Kharkiv region.
  • Air defence is essential in defeating aerial bomb-carrying aircraft with planning and adjustment modules.
  • The Ukrainian Defence Forces confirm their readiness to defend against enemy troops' offensive and have a strategic action plan.

What is known about the destruction of the S-300 and S-400 air defence systems in the Kharkiv region

According to Solymchuk, the Ukrainian military on the front lines is receiving the necessary weapons and ammunition.

And the main thing is that we received permission to use Western weapons on military facilities located on the territory of Russia, — emphasised the military man.

Solimchuk noted that the armed forces on the front line in the Kharkiv region inflict fire damage by manpower and early detection equipment when they cross the border.

Solymchuk noted that the Defense Forces need more air defence warfare systems to defeat aerial bomb-carrying aircraft with planning and adjustment modules launched long distances.

There is a need for high-precision missile weapons, with the ability to strike at the entire depth of the enemy's troops — both at control points, and at air defense, and at concentration areas, and at other important military facilities on the territory of the Russian Federation, underlined AFU officer.

What is known about the losses of the Russian army during the offensive in the Kharkiv region

Solimchuk noted that since the beginning of the new offensive of the occupation army of the Russian Federation in the Kharkiv region, the Kremlin invaders have already lost 2 thousand 939 killed and 6 thousand 509 wounded.

Another 40 Russian occupiers surrendered.

In particular, in Vovchansk, the occupiers have already lost most of their 138th Motorized Rifle Brigade, "weakened" the 83rd and 157th tank regiments.

In addition, their 83rd Airborne Assault Brigade also constantly suffers losses, sometimes several dozen people a day, which is confirmed by prisoners and radio intercepts.

At the same time, the Defense Forces emphasized that the Russian army still has fairly serious offensive potential — the occupiers are regrouping, restoring forces and logistics, and training assault groups continues in the rear.

Yes or no. Ukraine's allies have made a clear demand to Putin

Putin must give a clear answer

Ukraine's allies in the "Coalition of the Determined" have officially confirmed that they are already developing options for monitoring the ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine. Against this background, they have begun demanding that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin clearly respond to US President Donald Trump's ceasefire proposal - to accept or reject it.

Points of attention

  • Paris and London are collaborating with the US on proposing ceasefire monitoring scenarios, emphasizing the importance of a quick response from Russia.
  • Barrot highlights the significance of Ukraine's acceptance of the US ceasefire proposal, calling for a swift response from Putin, whether affirmative or negative.

Putin must give a clear answer

The statement on this occasion was made by the head of French diplomacy, Jean-Noel Barrot, at a joint press conference with his British counterpart, David Lemmy.

According to the diplomat, on April 4, the military leadership of several countries participating in the "coalition of the determined" will arrive in Ukraine.

The main goal of this meeting is to discuss options for security guarantees with the Ukrainians.

The head of the French Foreign Ministry draws attention to the fact that a powerful Ukrainian army should be the first level of guaranteeing peace.

That is why our military command will be in Kyiv today," Barro emphasized.

He also confirmed that Paris and London are in contact with the US, proposing scenarios for monitoring the ceasefire.

As the diplomat noted, Ukraine "made an important concession" when it agreed to the US proposal for an unconditional ceasefire.

Now Russia must respond to the US proposal. Whether it is a "yes" or "no" answer, it must be a quick one.

Ukraine's accession to NATO. Rutte responded to Trump's scandalous statements

Rutte denied Trump's claim
Source:  NV

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte commented on the loud statements of US President Donald Trump that Ukraine will never become a member of the Alliance. As the Secretary General noted, at the Washington summit it was decided that Ukraine's path to NATO is irreversible - Trump's statements have not changed anything.

Points of attention

  • Rutte emphasizes the importance of separating the pursuit of peace agreements from long-term perspectives such as NATO membership for Ukraine.
  • Collaborative efforts within NATO aim to support Ukraine and facilitate its journey towards achieving a peace agreement or ceasefire.

Rutte denied Trump's claim

The NATO Secretary General drew attention to the fact that no one ever promised Ukraine that membership in the Alliance would be part of a peace agreement or ceasefire.

And sometimes I hear Americans say: we don't think NATO membership will be part of a ceasefire or a peace agreement, that it contradicts the wording of the Washington Summit. And here I would disagree. I think it is very consistent with the wording of the Washington Summit. These are two separate things: a peace agreement and a long-term perspective.

According to Rutte, NATO members, including the United States, are currently working together to take command in Wiesbaden (the new NATO command — ed.), from where all support comes to Ukraine.

In addition, the Alliance leadership is trying to understand how best to help Ukraine become even more interoperable with NATO, build its own armed forces, and reach a hopeful moment of a peace agreement or ceasefire.

And let's hope that we can achieve that. So we are really working closely on all these issues," Rutte stressed.
