Ukraine's Zelenskyy Says His Army Is Locked in 'Fierce' Border Battles amid a Russian Assault
Zelenskyy said “fierce battles” are taking place near the border in eastern and northeastern Ukraine as outgunned and outnumbered Ukrainian soldiers try to push back a significant Russian ground offensive.
Zelenskyy said “fierce battles” are taking place near the border in eastern and northeastern Ukraine as outgunned and outnumbered Ukrainian soldiers try to push back a significant Russian ground offensive. “Defensive battles are ongoing, fierce battles, on a large part of our border area,” Zelenskyy said in his nightly video address Sunday.
The Kremlin’s forces are aiming to exploit Ukrainian weaknesses before a big batch of new military aid for Kyiv from the U.S. and European partners arrives on the battlefield in the coming weeks and months, analysts say. That makes this period a window of opportunity for Moscow and one of the most dangerous for Kyiv in the two-year war, they say.

‘The goal is not peace’: What’s behind Putin’s wartime Russia reshuffle?
President’s surprise reshuffle to see deputy prime minister and economist Andrei Belousov seize defence minister’s role.
“Today, the winner on the battlefield is the one who is more open to innovation, more open to implementation as quickly as possible,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told the press. “It is natural that at the current stage the president decided that the Ministry of Defence should be headed by a civilian.”
Observers said the reshuffle is a signal that Russia has no plans to end its war on Ukraine, now in its third year.
“This indicates that the Kremlin is not seeking an exit from Ukraine, but once to extend their ability to endure the conflict as long as possible,” said Jeff Hawn, a doctoral candidate and guest teacher at the London School of Economics’s international history department.

This discussion has been going on (not seriously) for months.
Saying…”we would prefer to send them as part of a NATO coalition” politically means “we will send troops when the hell freezes”.

Estonian defence minister regarding the “fake” claims about their willingness to send troops to Ukraine.
There is certainly no such initiative on the part of Estonia, and Estonia is certainly not going to do something on its own…
