Italy cannot participate in supply of F-16s to Ukraine, but will consider training pilots - Italian PM Meloni.

me think ukrainians badly want soledar, russians want siversk. whoever prevails will get the upper hand in the middle section of the whole front line

russian would also want to break into liman which connects with siversk

the long-anticipated counteroffensive in the zaporozhia has to further wait
it would be a killing zone for either side

right now, favor is generally for the defending side
largely it will continue to be an artillery/bombing war, till the counteroffensive campaign really starts

top priorities:
russia wants to destroy as many equipments and forces as possible through bombings of all kinds
build up and uprade its own fighting forces and firepower


ukraine wants to protect what they have got, and try to accumulate more and more from somewhere/anywhere
it has been getting almost all it can get from the west, which means that it can't afford to losing the biggest ever counteroffensive campaign
there won't be a second chance
