Ukraine says 34 officers were killed including Black Sea fleet admiral Viktor Sokolov in its missile strike on Sevastapol last week
“Good news from [defence] minister [Rustem] Umerov. Abrams are already inZelensky did not elaborate on how many tanks had arrived in the country, nor on how long it would take for them to be deployed to the front line.
US officials had said the tanks would be paired with 120 mm armour-piercing depleted uranium rounds. The decision to provide Abrams tanks to Ukraine represented a U-turn as American defence officials had repeatedly said they were ill-suited for Kyiv’s forces due to their complexity. Ukraine has claimed it has killed the commander of Russia’s Black Sea fleet in an unprecedented missile strike on the naval headquarters in the annexed Crimean peninsula last week.
“Thirty-four officers were killed, including the commander of the Black Sea fleet. Another 105 occupiers were wounded,” Ukraine‘s special forces said.

China will be the ‘only net winner’ in Ukraine-Russia conflictFormer British commander Richard Kemp says China will be the “only net winner” in the Ukraine-Russia conflict. Mr Kemp says China is the “key player in all of this”. “If China wasn’t behind Russia and supporting Russia and buying Russian oil and providing Russia with a huge amount of technical capability that can have dual use … If China hadn’t given that support Russia would be unable to prosecute the war as it is,” Mr Kemp said. “Whatever happens in this conflict – the net winner in this all is China. Mr Kemp said if Russia were to be “severely weakened” by the war, then they would be “heavily dependent on China”. “If the West prevails in some way – Ukraine prevails in some way – then again Russia will be dependent also on China. “Either way China is going to be the only net winner in this whole conflict.”
