The UK is considering preparing for a scenario in which the Russian federation collapses. This follows the Wagner group halting its aggression against Moscow less than 24 hours after declaring open rebellion against the Russian military. Intelligence suggests that the rebellion was halted because Russian agent’s threatened the chief’s family.

Last week, the Wagner mercenary group captured a Russian commander after the head of the Wagner mercenary group accused the Russian military of planting mines in the group’s path.

Just a few weeks ago, the Wagner boss said his army isn’t strong enough to attempt a coup. The boss of the Wagner group has criticized the Russian defense minister, whose children are allegedly living in luxury while Russian soldiers die. According to the chief of the Wagner group, 20,000 of his troops died in the battle for Bakhmut.

Several dozen Ukrainian civilians were wounded in pre-dawn Russian missile strikes.

Russian missiles killed 25 people in a block of apartments. Two people are dead and another ten wounded in a Russian attack on a Ukrainian museum.

Putin has been charged with war crimes in an International Court and a warrant for his arrest has been issued. The International Criminal Court has opened war crimes cases against Russia. Ukraine has accused Russian soldiers of destroying 400 apartment blocks to hide evidence of war crimes.

As the war in Ukraine continues, evidence of Russian-perpetrated war crimes is mounting. Zelensky has said that Ukraine has already uncovered evidence of 400 war crimes in Kherson. Ukraine recently regained the only regional capital taken by Moscow, Kherson. Volodymyr Zelensky will take part in the G20 summit. Zelensky has also been awarded the Liberty Medal by the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia.

To make up for frontline setbacks, Russia has increased its attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure. Ukrainian president Zelensky has visited reconquered territory, a sign of the country’s strength.

Ukraine regained still more territory from the Russians in the past week. The week before, Ukrainian forces reached the Russian border in the Kharkiv region. Ukraine’s lightning counteroffensive drove Russian soldiers from the Kharkiv region, and now Ukraine has tripled its reconquered territory. Ukraine began its long-awaited offensive in the country’s south last week. President Zelesnsky has also promised to retake Crimea by whatever means necessary.

Western nations are aiding Ukraine’s ambitions. The United States is set to send Ukraine another $3 billion in aid. Turkey has sent 50 mine-resistant vehicles to Ukraine, and it will send more in the future. Ukraine has received more rocket launchers from the United States and Germany. President Zelensky has said that the Ukrainian army is losing around 30 soldiers per day, compared to the 100-200 at the beginning of the war. 3The UK government announced that it will send both artillery and drones to Ukraine. Zelensky’s office has also confirmed that the United States will train F-15 and F-16 pilots.

A Canadian fighting for the Ukrainian army has issued a plea for more weapons and money (to buy weapons).

Two weeks ago, Australia sent ammunition to Ukraine, in response to Zelensky’s pleas. Ukraine was reporting a shortage of ammunition, threatening to halt their defense against Russia. International governments have so far been generous with weapons. Poland has announced that it will sell $650m worth of heavy weapons, including self-propelled Howitzers, to Ukraine.

Sweden and the UK have also joined a growing list of countries sending another round of advanced weapons to Ukraine. Spain is sending state of the art, German-designed tanks to Ukraine to help fight the Russian invaders. Germany has announced that it will send modern anti-aircraft missiles and radar systems to Ukraine. The United States will also be sending Ukraine medium-range rockets, according to President Biden.

The Russians, by contrast, are beginning to struggle in terms of weapons. The Ukrainian military says it has destroyed an ammunition depot as the fighting in Donbas intensifies. Such destruction has led Ukrainian military analysts to conclude that the Russian military has depleted its modern military equipment. Russia has more woes than just equipment. Over a hundred Russian national guard soldiers have been fired for refusing to fight in Ukraine.
