Russia should successfully exert pressure on Ukraine on the entire front. News comes from Russia about new strategic partnership agreements with Iran.

The war in Ukraine has been going on for 687 days and counting Washington’s Institute for War Research (ISW) The Russians are attacking practically along the entire front and in Bakhmut, and they are said to be making progress in the Kherson region. And even near Donetsk. Meanwhile, government officials continue to believe that an attack on Ukraine would be tantamount to a defense against Nazi Germany. The Chairman of the Defense Committee of the Russian State Duma, Andrey Kartapolov, noted that at some point in 1943 Russia was at war with Ukraine and was gradually approaching victory, because just as the Germans exhausted themselves in 1943, so too were The Ukrainians had been exhausted to counteroffensive in 2023. Kartapolov also claimed that the Russian military would continue the war in Ukraine until a “banner is placed over the Reichstag” – that is, a complete victory in Ukraine that would achieve all of Putin’s maximalist goals.
The Washington Institute for the Study of War stated that during World War II, the Soviet Union mobilized and sent tens of millions of people, 34.5 million to be precise, into battle. And he also directed his entire industry outside the Urals towards war. And that’s not happening today.
Kremlin propaganda repeatedly claims that the war in Ukraine was provoked by the West, not Russia, and that the Russian Federation is just defending itself.

“Putin met with residents of Anadyr, Chukotka Autonomous Okrug on January 10 and tried to reassure residents that there are no problems with material or financial support for Russian troops in Ukraine,” ISW reported.
Meanwhile, Iran appears to have developed a new category of its Shahid drones with a range of up to 1,500 km. In addition, Iran is expected to provide Russia with surface-to-surface missile systems in the near future. “Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian discussed, among other things, the development of a comprehensive agreement on strategic partnership and trade cooperation in a telephone conversation on January 9,” wrote ISW.
The EU will catch up with Russia. Within two years
The EU announced that it would be possible to deliver one million shells to Ukraine in the spring of 2024. European Union (EU) Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton said the EU must reduce its ammunition exports to non-EU countries and ensure EU countries put pressure on their defense industries to increase production. According to ISW, Breton also said it was “extremely important” that the EU had the same weapons production capacity as Russia and that the EU could achieve this goal within 18 months to two years.
In this situation, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky unexpectedly arrived on a visit to Lithuania, where he is trying to negotiate further cooperation and military assistance to Ukraine. He particularly called for air defense systems, as Russia had increased its missile attacks again in the winter. “Russia has attacked civilian infrastructure, people, kindergartens, schools and electricity. In total there were 500 hits from missiles and drones. We were able to block an average of 70% of these attacks. Unfortunately there were losses. “I express my condolences to those who lost their loved ones,” Zelensky said.
On the words of the Ukrainian President emphasized the American news channel CNN.

The Ukrinform agency came with hopeful news for Ukraine. Three congressional committees led by opposition Republicans today criticized Joe Biden’s administration for doing too little for Ukraine. The plan, signed by Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul, Armed Services Committee Chairman Mike Rogers and Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner, provides a path for the United States to help Ukraine defeat the Russian Federation.
According to the authors of the document, since the first day of the war, “Biden’s exhaustive reluctance to provide Ukraine with critical weapons has delayed a Ukrainian victory.” To change the situation on the battlefield, Ukraine needs the longest-range ATACMS version ( not 160, but 300 km), F-16 aircraft, as well as a sufficient number of cluster munitions, artillery, air defense and armored vehicles. This delay is costing the lives of Ukrainians and American taxpayers, the heads of the three committees emphasize.
“They suggest that the path to victory for Ukraine will require, first, the rapid deployment of critical weapons; second, the tightening of sanctions against the Putin regime; Thirdly, the transfer of 300 billion frozen Russian state assets to Ukraine,” wrote the Ukrinform agency.
The congressmen stressed the need to monitor American aid and acknowledged that numerous inspections have so far failed to uncover any significant violations. In their view, a Ukrainian victory would “prevent a Russian invasion of a NATO country, which would be immeasurably more expensive in terms of American blood and money.”
