UK Defense Secretary John Healey visited Kyiv to coordinate military support and discuss future defense strategies with Ukraine, ahead of the upcoming Ukraine Defense Contact Group meeting in Ramstein, amid ongoing Russian strikes.
Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of the Wagner Group, has expressed concern over the commitment made by Ukraine's allies to provide military aid to Kyiv, including 230 tanks and 1,500 armored vehicles, as well as air defense systems and training for up to 100,000 troops. Prigozhin, who has close links to Vladimir Putin, said that the Western support for Ukraine "does not bring anything good for us" and speculated about when Ukraine would launch its anticipated counter-offensive. The Ramstein summit has "worrying" consequences for Russia, according to War Translated.
