ISW Update Jan 31 2025
quote:
Key Takeaways:
The United Kingdom (UK), Finland, and Czechia announced several immediate and longer-term military assistance packages for Ukraine on January 31.
Russian forces are expanding their salient north of Kupyansk as part of long-term operational efforts to push Ukrainian forces from the east (left) bank of the Oskil River.
Elements of the 6th Combined Arms Army (CAA) (Leningrad Military District [LMD]) are reportedly leading the Russian effort to expand the salient north of Kupyansk.
Elements of the Russian 1st Guards Tank Army (GTA) (Moscow Military District [MMD]) are also participating in the envelopment of Kupyansk and are attempting to advance east of Kupyansk and to expand the Russian salient south of Kupyansk near Kruhlyakivka likely in order to prepare for advances south of Kupyansk, cross the Oskil River, and pressure Borova.
Russian forces appear to be developing and disseminating a doctrinal method for advances throughout the theater that aims to conduct slow envelopments of frontline towns and settlements at a scale that is reasonable for Russian forces to conclude before culminating.
The Russian military command has shown that it is willing to commit to operations that could take six to nine months to conclude. Russian commanders are likely operating under the assumption or direct knowledge that Russian President Vladimir Putin does not intend to end the war in Ukraine in the near future.
This Russian offensive method is bringing about slow operational maneuver on the battlefield, but these envelopments require significant planning, foresight, manpower, and equipment and do not restore rapid, mechanized maneuver to the battlefield.
Russian forces are also intensifying their efforts to close the remaining Ukrainian pocket west of Kurakhove.
Moldovan and Transnistrian authorities agreed to accept a European Union (EU) package that includes funding for gas purchases for Transnistria, further limiting Russia’s economic influence over the pro-Russian breakaway republic.
Ukrainian forces struck a Russian oil refinery in Volgograd Oblast amid continued strikes against Russian energy and defense industrial infrastructure.
Russian forces recently advanced near Kupyansk, Lyman, Toretsk, Pokrovsk, and Kurakhove.
Western and Ukrainian officials continue to report that North Korean forces have withdrawn from frontline positions in Kursk Oblast.

If tweet fails to load, click here. German welchers. They are addicted to and refuse to give up those socialist welfare programs.
But we have been told/assured on here that the Russians are going to attack Nato!! Don't they realize this?
The leftists, neocons and Troskeyites have screamed this for three years.
The whole rotten facade is crumbling before our eyes.

Which neocon sheep are you talking about? There aren't any conservatives of any kind who support the "supporting diversity in the trans community in Country X" crap that some of our.money goes for. I'm happy that we're reviewing all of our foreign aid.
But not all "foreign aid" is bad or wasteful. .As I pointed out a few days ago, I'm happy that the review was very quick for the money we spend to pay prison guards at the Al-Hol prison camp in NE Syria that holds ISIS militants. I think that guarding ISIS butchers is my taxpayer dollars well spent. I'm also pro-life, so I think that the PEPFAR money is good that buys the drugs that saves babies born with HIV from developing AIDS. -- I am unabashedly in favor of preventing little babies from suffering and dying from AIDS.
And, frankly, some foreign aid is important for national security. Why does China offer to build a road in some random 3rd-world country? It ain't out of kindness. It's because they know that they can open doors that eventually lead to a military or trade alliance.

You literally said you were leaning towards voting for Biden / Harris this summer (before the assassination attempt on my hero). I'm sure you've edited it by now, but if not it would still be in this thread

It doesn't take a scientist of rocketry to acknowledge that Trump is poking the tiger. A whole lot of $ flows through USAID; we are talking about an agency that has been at the core of US foreign policy for 60 years.
Kennedy was killed for less.
Try and make it less obvious that you're rooting for an evil, faceless beurocracy to harm our President

• Activists create obscure NGO • Dems fund it lavishly • NGO does bare minimum (or actively hurts the United States) • Activists get paid and donate to Dems
So cutting USAID doesn’t really impact Ukraine, but it ends corruption and money laundering. It sounds good to me.

Start at 5% and let them negotiate down to where we actually want them to go

I don’t believe the number, Is 5% of their GDP really 42% of their federal budget?

"Panic in Kyiv as U.S. Halts Aid—Le Monde
Just after taking office, Donald Trump froze all U.S. foreign aid for 90 days, triggering panic in Ukraine. Officials and NGOs are scrambling as critical funding for social programs, services, and media support suddenly vanishes.
Ukrainian human rights activist Olena Rozvadovska warns that this isn’t just about pausing projects—hundreds of specialists, free services, and field teams were shut down overnight, leaving many without crucial support.
While Ukrainian authorities acknowledge the challenge, they’ve been careful not to openly criticize Trump, knowing his support remains crucial. “Beyond those providing direct services, we risk losing key administrative staff managing our operations,” says Ivona Kostina, director of Veteran Hub, an organization helping war veterans reintegrate into society.
Along with social programs, funding for so-called independent Ukrainian media—long sustained by USAID grants—has also been cut, prompting further complaints from officials"
