🇺🇦🇷🇺 Pentagon chief in Kyiv amid questions over future US arms supplies

The Biden administration is working with Congress to try and thrash out a broader funding deal that would include additional support for Ukraine.

However, weapons supplies are under additional pressure from the war in the Middle East.

Just ahead of Austin’s trip, a Ukrainian official told ABC News that U.S. deliveries of NATO-standard artillery shells to Ukraine have fallen "by more than 30%" since Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza began last month.

🇵🇸🇮🇱 The latest adventures of IDF armored vehicles during urban fighting in Gaza on video from Hamas.

As before, Palestinians fire RPGs at lonely tanks and columns of Israeli army armor on the streets of the enclave. You can see Merkavas with atypical visors curved upward. Apparently, so that the dropped ammunition remains inside.

At one point, a Hamas soldier approached the Namer armored personnel carrier point-blank and attached a magnetic mine to the door of the troop compartment, after which he fired at the armored personnel carrier with an RPG.

In the end, the Palestinians shot with machine guns Israeli tank crews in kippahs and infantrymen who sat down on the roof of the tank turret to have a snack.

🇨🇭🇩🇪 Switzerland will sell 25 Leopard 2A4 tanks back to Germany on the condition that they remain on the territory of Germany or other NATO countries and are not transferred to Ukraine even indirectly.

This was stated by the Swiss media with reference to a statement by the Federal Government.

It is reported that the tanks previously in service with Switzerland will be bought back by the manufacturer Rheinmetall Landsysteme GmbH to cover the shortage of equipment in connection with the transfer of similar tanks to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
