Ukraine army denies Russia captured Chasiv Yar: Spokesperson

LBCI5 days ago
The Ukrainian army on Thursday denied Russia's claim to have captured the eastern stronghold of Chasiv Yar, a spokesperson for a unit fighting in the area told AFP.
"I always advise not to consider the Russian Ministry of Defense as a source of information. They simply lie systematically, and the very approach of having us comment on their latest lies every time is wrong," Viktor Tregubov, a spokesperson for the Khortytsia Operational Strategic Group of Forces, said.

Netherlands uses new NATO channel to pay for US arms for Ukraine

The Netherlands said on Monday it will contribute 500 million euros ($578 million) to purchase U.S. military equipment for Ukraine, becoming the first NATO country to contribute to a new mechanism to supply Kyiv with American weapons. President Donald Trump said last month the U.S. would provide weapons to Ukraine, paid for by European allies, but he did not provide details on how this would work. "As the first NATO ally, the Netherlands will deliver a €500 million package of US weapon systems (including Patriot parts and missiles)," Dutch Defence Minister Ruben Brekelmans said in a post on X.
