Ukraine still under attack .

But the “ refreshments ” arrive. Indeed, the country has received the first British Challenger tanks . And Germany has sent the 18 Leopard tanks promised two months ago to Kiev to help defend against the Russian invasion. This was announced by Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov, as reported by CNN. “Today I had the honor of testing the latest addition to our armored units,” Reznikov wrote on Facebook. "Having personally 'piloted' the Challenger, I can say that the driver of a Rolls Royce will not be as comfortable as the crew of this work of military art," added the minister.

Moscow has announced that it will proceed with the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus , then directly threatening the United States: " We have weapons capable of destroying any enemy ," said the secretary of the Russian Security Council Patrushev.

The Kremlin also reportedly carried out an anti-ship missile test in the Sea of Japan . The Defense Ministry said two boats launched a simulated missile attack on a mock enemy warship about 100 kilometers away. The target, he stressed, was successfully hit by two Moskit cruise missiles, with conventional and nuclear warhead capabilities.
