a large number of Ukrainian men are dying but drowning in rivers while they’re trying to escape to neighboring Nations many of them are said to be fugitives from a military draft that was aimed at sustaining Ukraine’s war effort the bodies in the river show the biggest issue that Ukraine faces is not that of lack of ammunition but the lack of trained Personnel to take on the Russian Onslaught in the battlefield [Music] on the other hand Russia has said that it is not planning to attack NATO as it was the alliance that was aggravating tensions foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria zacharova was referring to a NATO Summit declaration that said Russia Remains The most significant and direct threat to the allies security this is what she said listen in the second point that I would like to draw your attention to is that the final declaration that was adopted at the NATO Summit in Washington which was held from July 9th to 11th Russia was once again called a threat to the group a direct quote in all operating environments for long-term prospective this is not so Russia is not preparing to attack NATO the North Atlantic Alliance is following the path of escalating tensions constantly they’re pushing they’re endlessly mentioning Russia and its capacity from document to document of the N westan leaders have repeatedly said that Russian President Vladimir Putin will order his military to go further and attack NATO countries in Central and Eastern Europe if he is not stopped in Ukraine meanwhile Putin met with the Moscow installed governor of the zapia region in Kremlin during the meeting he told the governor that the the main focus in zapia was the security of the nuclear power plant Putin accused Ukraine of conducting strikes against the nuclear plant he adds that a lack of attention from this to this in fact from the forces that support Ukraine is a big mistake on their part the key factor is the maintaining of security of the entire region and people we will do this we will manage it without a doubt I see the things that need to be addressed that are connected to the security first of all this is the security of the zafia nuclear power plant the fact that the enemy is conducting direct strikes on the plant requires special attention from our side and unfortunately does not draw attention from those forces that support the keev regime today this is their big mistake and we will remember this and talk about this many times [Music] now the attack took place earlier this month when and this is according to Russian officials a Ukrainian drone attack injured eight workers from the Russian controls Zaria nuclear power plant and left a nearby Town largely without power and water earlier the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution that demanded that Russia to immediately seize its aggression against Ukraine and urgently withdraw its military and other unauthorized Personnel from the zapia nuclear power plant the 193 member UN General Assembly

possible escalation the call which was initiated by Moscow comes as tensions between the two sides flare over Washington’s plans to deploy longrange missiles in Germany a decision the Kremlin warned could spell a return to Cold War style confrontation now over two years of exhaustive war seems to have eroded enthusiasm in ukrainians to pick up arms against the Russian invasion attracting new Fighters is posing a challenge to Ukraine as cues of young men joining army are getting shotter strengthened by long delayed Western Aid Ukraine’s forces have struggled for months now to hold the line against Russian troops more details in our next report we don’t use Force we don’t twist anyone’s arm or force them into minivans we’re against these methods I’m against them this combat veteran who goes by the call sign phantomas is waging a different kind of battle on the streets of Kev to replenish troop numbers he says men are less eager to fight them before 28 months after Russia’s Invasion there’s a queue outside the local draft office but men under 60 now have to register or renew their personal data at draft offices or online by July 16th and draft officials say they’ve struggled with a sudden influx people used to wait for weeks to get the chance to join the Army now as far as I know most of the cues are people who want to obtain some sort of exemption rers accompanied the draft officer on a recent Patrol as he handed out callup papers one man slipped into a nearby store and another refused to stop others quietly obliged President Vladimir zalinski lowered the draft age to 25 from 27 in April and overhauled the mobilization process and there are signs the drive is working recruitment numbers are shrouded in Wartime secrecy but the Ukrainian military told Reuters in a statement conscription more than doubled in May and June compared to the previous 2 months without providing figures many weary troops are desperate to be replaced after more than two years of almost non-stop service you’re needed replace us there are those who react positively I’d say up to 70% of the time I don’t even have to explain anything to them they understand that nobody else will do this except for themselves nobody else in an April survey commissioned by estate broadcaster about half of ukrainians thought mobilization was going poorly and 60% had a negative view of draft offices though strengthened by long delayed Western Aid Ukraine’s forces have struggled for months to hold the line against Russian troops who are inching forward in the East while the ongoing Ukraine Russia War has led to shortage of Manpower and armed Supply in the battlefield both sides have been replying on smart and low cost Alternatives such as artillery shells instead of pricey missiles and drones and instead of fighter aircraft in the latest Ukraine has been hedging its bets on Grand drones the car-sized drones which can be controlled remotely is designed to act as a rescue and Supply vehicle it can also be modified to carry a remotely operated heavy machine gun or fire mine clearing charges the 1,750 lb prototype developed by a ukraine-based startup is one of the Dozen equipment awaiting military assessment interestingly the grand drone costs nearly $35,000 which is 10% of what an equipment model imported from abroad will cost this is the biggest drone in Ukraine in a caterpillar that exist in nowaday in using uh in a military and also we are 10 times cheaper than uh the similar prod from Europe our main uh subject it was evacuation it was a logistic and it was a battle touret but you can use it uh whatever you want what imagination can create it to use Ukraine has been facing Manpower shortages and uneven International assistance the country is struggling to Halt Russia’s pounding advance in the East and is counting heavily on Innovation at home several startups have been developing military equipment locally to help Frontline soldiers before this we designed various buggies for rental prior to the full scale Innovation it was nothing more than a hobby when the time came we started designing these kinds of things to help the military Ukraine has semi autonomous attack drones and counter drone weapons endowed with artificial intelligence the combination of lowcost weapons and artificial intelligence tools is Waring many experts who say lowcost drones will enable their ploration technology leaders to the United Nations and the Vatican wared that the use of drones and AI in weapons can reduce the barrier to killing and dramatically escalate conflict

Switzerland last month Ukraine hosted delegations from 92 countries to advance its blueprint for peace Russia was not invited the Kremlin also dismissed the summit as a non-starter now zelinsky’s remarks come after his visit to Washington for a NATO Summit AT a press conference after the visit the president had opened the door to direct talks with Moscow but just last week a Russian Deputy foreign minister said that Moscow would not attend a follow-up Summit in fact 2third of ukrainians oppose negotiations with Russia as well and according to a new poll the poll conducted by razumov it

Alliance stretching from Europe’s Eastern borders to to the Pacific China has also recently held drills with LA and Cambodia the timing of these exercises coming immediately after NATO’s unprecedented

industry has clearly struck a nerve Beijing has accused the alliance of seeking security at the expense of others and warned against bringing chaos to Asia clearly the tensions continue to rise for years the European Union has carefully navigated its relationship with China balancing economic interdependence with concerns about human rights and geopolitical Ambitions however beijing’s unwavering support for Russia’s aggression in Ukraine may be a Tipping Point the EU may be forced to re-evaluate its economic ties with China a decision with potentially far-reaching consequences for both sides

tensions foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria zacharova was referring to a NATO Summit declaration that said Russia Remains The most significant and direct threat to the Allies security this is what she

was once again called a threat to the group a direct quote in all operating environments for long-term prospective this is not so Russia is not preparing to attack NATO the North Atlantic Alliance is

installed governor of the zapia region in Kremlin during the meeting he told the governor that the main focus in zapia was the security of the nuclear power plant accused Ukraine of conducting strikes against the nuclear plant he adds that a lack of attention from this to this in fact from the forces that support Ukraine is a big mistake on their part the key factor is the maintaining of security of the entire region and people we will do this we will manage it without it out I see the things that need to be addressed that are connected to the security first first of all this is the security of the zafur ridia nuclear power plant the fact that the enemy is conducting direct strikes on the plant requires special attention from our side and unfortunately does not draw attention from those forces that support the keev regime today this is their big mistake and we will remember this and talk about this many [Music] times now the attack took place earlier this month when and this is

up arms against the Russian invasion attracting new Fighters is posing a challenge to Ukraine as cues of young men joining army are getting shorter strengthened by long delayed Western Aid Ukraine’s forces have struggled for months now to hold the line against Russian troops more details in our next report we don’t use Force we don’t twist anyone’s arm or force them into minivans we’re against these methods I’m against them this combat veteran who goes by the call sign phantomas is waging a different kind of battle on the streets of Kev to replenish troop numbers he says men are less eager to fight than before 28 months after Russia’s Invasion the SEC outside the local draft office but men under 60 now have to register or renew their personal data at draft offices or online by July 16th and draft officials say they’ve struggled with a sudden influx people used to wait for weeks to get the chance to join the Army now as far as I know most of the cues are people who want to obtain some sort of exemption roters accompanied the draft officer on a recent Patrol as he handed out callup papers one man slipped into a nearby store and another refused to stop others quietly obliged President Vladimir zalinski lowered the draft age to 25 from 27 in April and overhauled the mobilization process and there are signs the drive is working recruitment numbers are shrouded in Wartime secrecy but the Ukrainian military told Reuters in a statement conscription more than doubled in May and June compared to the previous two months without providing ing figures many weary troops are desperate to be replaced after more than 2 years of almost non-stop service you’re needed replace us there are those who react positively I’d say up to 70% of the time I don’t even have to explain anything to them they understand that nobody else will do this except for themselves nobody else in an April survey commissioned by a state broadcaster about half of ukrainians thought mobilization was going po and 60% had a negative view of draft offices though strengthened by long delayed Western Aid Ukraine’s forces have struggled for months to hold the line against Russian troops who are inching forward in the East while the ongoing Ukraine Russia War has led to shortage of Manpower and armed Supply in the battlefield both sides have been replying on smart and lowcost Alternatives such as artillery shells instead of priceing missiles and drones and instead of fighter aircraft in the latest Ukraine has been hedging its bets on ground drones the car siiz drones which can be controlled remotely is designed to act as a rescue and Supply vehicle it can also be modified to carry a remotely operated heavy machine gun or fire mine clearing charges the 1,750 prototype developed by a ukraine-based stup is one of the Dozen equipment awaiting military assessment interestingly the grand drone costs nearly $35,000 which is 10% of what an equipment model imported from abroad will cost this is the biggest drone in Ukraine in a cutter pillar that exist in nowaday in using uh in a military and also we are 10 times cheaper than uh the similar product from Europe our main uh subject it was evacuation it was a logistic and it was a battle turet but you can use it uh whatever you want what imagination can create to use Ukraine has been facing Manpower shortages and uneven International assistance the country is struggling to Halt Russia’s pounding Advance at the East and is counting heavily on Innovation at home several startups have been developing military equipment locally to help Frontline soldiers before this we designed various buggies for prior to the full scale Innovation it was nothing more than a hobby when the time came we started designing these kinds of things to help the military Ukraine has semi-autonomous attack drones and counter drone weapons endowed with artificial intelligence the combination of lowcost weapons and artificial intelligence tools is Waring many experts who say lowcost drones will enable their ceration technology leaders to the United Nations and the Vatican worry that the use of drones and AI in weapons can reduce the barrier to killing and dramatically escalate conflicts Russia has received an informal invite for the second Ukraine peace Summit Ukrainian President Vladimir zinski said that Russia should be

alliance that was aggravating tensions foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria zacharova was referring to a NATO Summit declaration that said Russia Remains The most significant and direct threat to the

held from July 9th to 11th Russia was once again called a threat to the group a direct quote in all operating environments for long-term prospective this is not so Russia is not preparing to attack NATO the North Atlantic Alliance is following the path of escalating tensions constantly they’re pushing they’re endlessly mentioning Russia and its capacity from document to document of the now

meanwhile Putin met with the Moscow installed governor of the zapia region in Kremlin during the meeting he told the governor that the main focus in zapia was the security of the nuclear power plant Putin accused Ukraine of conducting strikes against the nuclear plant he adds is that a lack of attention from this to this in fact from the forces that support Ukraine is a big mistake on their part the key factor is the maintaining of security of the entire region and people we will do this we will manage it without a doubt I see the things that need to be addressed that are connected to the security first of all this is the security of the zafia nuclear power plant the the fact that the enemy is conducting direct strikes on the plant requires special attention from our side and unfortunately does not draw attention from those forces that support the keev regime today this is their big mistake and we will remember this and talk about this many [Music] times now the attack

launched attacks on the Ukrainian military Enterprises Ukraine responded by saying that it actually reeled many of the Russian attacks in a new wave of warnings the Kremlin has announced the deployment of us missiles in Germany could make European capitals a clear and legitimate Target for Russian missiles in a repeat of a cold war style confrontation moscow’s warning has come after the White House announced on Wednesday during a NATO Summit that it would periodically station long range of weapons including Tomahawk cruise missiles in Germany from the year 2026 the Kremlin has criticized this move accusing Washington of taking a step towards a new Cold War and of directly participating in the conflict in Ukraine the Russian attacks have killed at least about six people and

that a large number of Ukrainian men are dying but drowning in rivers while they’re trying to escape to neighboring Nations many of them are said to be fugitives from a military draft that was aimed at sustaining Ukraine’s war effort the bodies in the river show the biggest issue that Ukraine faces is not that of lack of ammunition but the lack of trained Personnel to take on the Russian Onslaught in the battlefield [Music] on the other hand Russia has said that it is not planning to attack NATO as it was the alliance that was aggravating tensions foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria zacharova was referring to a NATO Summit declaration that said Russia Remains The most significant and direct threat to the allly security this is what she said listen in the second point that I would like to draw your attention to is that the final declaration that was adopted at the NATO Summit in Washington which was held from July 9th to 11th Russia was once again called a threat to the group a direct quote in all operating environments for long-term prospective this is not so Russia is not preparing to attack NATO the North Atlantic Alliance is following the path of escalating tensions constantly they’re pushing they’re endlessly mentioning Russia and its capacity from document to document of the now leaders have repeatedly said that Russian President Vladimir Putin will order his military to go further and attack NATO countries in Central and Eastern Europe if he is not stopped in Ukraine meanwhile Putin met with the Moscow installed governor of the zapia region in Kremlin during the meeting he told the governor that the main focus in zapia was the security of the nuclear power plant Putin accused Ukraine of conducting strikes against the nuclear plant he adds that a lack of attention from this to this in fact from the forces that support Ukraine is a big mistake on their part the key factor is the maintaining of security of the entire region and people we will do this we will manage it without a doubt I see the things that need to be addressed that are connected to the security first of all this is the security of the zafur ridia nuclear power plant the fact that the enemy is conducting Direct strikes on the plant requires special attention from our side and unfortunately does not draw attention from those forces that support the keev regime today this is their big mistake and we will remember this and talk about this many [Music] times now the attack took place earlier this month when and this is according to Russian officials a Ukrainian drone attack injured eight workers from the Russian controls Zaria nuclear power plant and left a nearby Town largely without power and water earlier the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution that demanded that Russia to immediately seize its aggression against Ukraine and urgently withdraw its military and other unauthorized Personnel from the zapia nuclear power plant the 193 member UN General Assembly

possible escalation the call which was initiated by Moscow comes as tensions between the two sides flare over Washington’s plans to deploy long range missiles in Germany a decision the Kremlin warned could spell a return to Cold War style confrontation now over 2 years of exhaustive war seems to have eroded enthusiasm in ukrainians to pick up arms against the Russian invasion attracting new Fighters is posing a challenge to Ukraine as cues of young men joining army are getting shorter strengthened by long delayed Western Aid Ukraine’s forces have struggled for months now to hold the line

that Ukraine faces is not that of lack of ammunition but the lack of trained Personnel to take on the Russian Onslaught in the [Music] battlefield on the other hand Russia has said that it is not planning to attack NATO as it was the alliance that was aggravating tensions foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria zacharova was referring to a NATO Summit declaration that said Russia Remains The most significant and direct threat to the Allies security this is what she said listen in the second point that I would like to draw your attention to is that the final declaration that was adopted at the NATO Summit in Washington which was held from July 9th to 11th Russia was once again called a threat to the group a direct quote in all operating environments for long-term prospective this is not so Russia is not preparing to attack NATO the North Atlantic Alliance is following the path of escalating tensions constantly they’re pushing they’re endlessly mentioning Russia and its capacity from document to document of the now Western leaders have repeatedly said that Russian President Vladimir Putin will order his military to go further and attack NATO countries in Central and Eastern Europe if is not stopped in Ukraine meanwhile Putin met with the Moscow installed governor of the zapia region in Kremlin during the meeting he told the governor that the main focus in zapia was the security of the nuclear power plant Putin accused Ukraine of conducting strikes against the nuclear plant he adds that a lack of attention from this to this in fact from the forces that support Ukraine is a big mistake on their part the key factor is the maintaining of security of the entire region and people we will do this we will manage it without a doubt I see the things that need to be addressed that are connected to the security first of all this is the security of the zafia nuclear power plant the fact that the enemy is conducting direct strikes on the plant requires special attention from our side and unfortunately does not draw attention from those forces that support the KE regime today this is their big mistake and we will remember this and talk about this many times commiss now the attack took place earlier this month when and this is according to Russian officials a Ukrainian drone attack injured eight workers from the Russian controls Zaria nuclear power plant and left a nearby Town largely without power and water earlier the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution that demanded that Russia to IM seize its aggression against Ukraine and urgently withdraw its military

Russian defense Ministry said that the two held a phone call where they discussed lowering the risk of possible escalation the call which was initiated by Moscow comes as tensions between the two sides flare over Washington’s plans to deploy long range missiles in Germany a decision the Kremlin warned could spell a return to Cold War style confrontation now over two years of exhaustive war seems to have eroded enthusiasm and ukrainians to pick up arms against the Russian invasion attracting new Fighters is posing a challenge to Ukraine as cues of young men joining army are getting

or renew their personal data at draft offices or online by July 16th and draft officials say they’ve struggled with a sudden influx people used to wait for weeks to to get the chance to join the Army now as far as I know most of the cues are people who want to obtain some sort of exemption rors accompanied the draft officer on a recent Patrol as he handed out callup papers one man slipped into a nearby store and another refused to stop others quietly obliged President Vladimir zalinsky lowered the draft age to 25 from 27 in April and overhauled the mobilization process and there are signs the drive is working recruitment numbers are shrouded in Wartime secrecy but the Ukrainian military told Reuters in a statement conscription more than doubled in May and June compared to the previous two months without providing figures many weary troops are desperate to be replaced after more than two years of almost non-stop service you’re needed replace us there are those who react positively I’d say up to 70% of the time I don’t even even have to explain anything to them they understand that nobody else will do this except for themselves nobody else in an April survey commissioned by a state

trained personnel to take on the Russian Onslaught in the [Music] battlefield on the other hand Russia has said that it is not planning to attack NATO as it was the alliance that was aggravating tensions foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria zakar was referring to a NATO Summit declaration that said Russia Remains The most significant and direct threat to the allly security this is what she said listen in the second point that I would like to draw your attention to is that the final declaration that was adopted at the NATO Summit in Washington which was held from July 9th to 11th Russia was once again called a threat to the group a direct quote in all operating environments for long-term prospec this is not so Russia is not preparing to attack NATO the North Atlantic Alliance is following the path of escalating tensions constantly they’re pushing they’re endlessly mentioning Russia and its capacity from document to document of theum now Western leaders have repeatedly said that Russian President Vladimir Putin will order his military to go further and attack NATO countries in Central and Eastern Europe if he is not stopped in Ukraine meanwhile Putin met with the Moscow installed governor of the zapia region in Kremlin during the meeting he told the governor that the main focus in zapia was the security of the nuclear power plant Putin accused Ukraine of conducting strikes against the nuclear plant he adds that a lack of attention from this to this in fact from the forces that support Ukraine is a big mistake on their part the key factor is the maintaining of security of the entire region and people we will do this we will manage it without a doubt I see the things that need to be addressed that are connected to the security first of all this is the security of the zafur ridia nuclear power plant the fact that the enemy is conducting direct strikes on the plant requires special attention from our side and unfortunately does not draw attention from those forces that support the keev regime today this is their big mistake and we will remember this and talk about this many [Music] times now the attack took place earlier this month when and

saying that it actually repelled many of the Russian attacks in a new wave of warnings the Kremlin has announced the deployment of us missiles in Germany could make European capitals a clear and legitimate Target for Russian missiles in a repeat of a cold war hostile confrontation moscow’s warning has come after the White House announced on Wednesday during a NATO Summit that it would periodically station longrange weapons including Tomahawk cruise missiles in Germany from the year 2026 the Kremlin has criticized this move accusing Washington of taking a step towards a new Cold War

they’re trying to escape to neighboring Nations many of them are said to be fugitives from a military draft that was aimed at sustaining Ukraine’s war effort the bodies in the river show the biggest issue that Ukraine faces is not that of lack of ammunition but the lack of trained Personnel to take on the Russian Onslaught in the battlefield [Music] on the other hand Russia has said that it is not planning to attack NATO as it was the alliance that was aggravating tensions foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria zacharova was referring to a NATO Summit declaration that said Russia remains the most significant and direct threat to the allly security this is what she said listen in the second point that I would like to draw your attention to is that the final declaration that was adopted at the NATO Summit in Washington which was held from July 9th to 11th Russia was once again called a threat to the group a direct quote in all operating environments for long-term prospective this is not so Russia is not preparing to attack NATO the Atlantic Alliance is following the path of escalating tensions constantly they’re pushing they’re endlessly mentioning Russia and its capacity from document to document of the now Western leaders have repeatedly said that Russian President Vladimir Putin will order his military to go further and attack NATO countries in Central and Eastern Europe if he is not stopped in Ukraine meanwhile Putin met with the Moscow installed governor of the zapia region in Kem during the meeting he told the governor that the main focus in zapia was the security of the nuclear power plant Putin accused Ukraine of conducting strikes against the nuclear plant he adds that a lack of attention from this to this in fact from the forces that support Ukraine is a big mistake on their part the key factor is the maintaining of security of the entire region and people we will do this we will manage it without a doubt I see the things that need to be addressed that are connected to the security first of all this is the security of the zafur ridia nuclear power plant the fact that the enemy is conducting direct strikes on the plant requires special attention from our side and unfortunately does not draw attention from those forces that support the keev regime today this is their big mistake and we will remember this and talk about this many times [Music] is now the attack took place earlier this month when and this is according to Russian officials a Ukrainian drone attack injured eight workers from the Russian controls Zaria nuclear power plant and left a nearby Town largely without power and water earlier the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution that demanded that Russia to immediately seize its aggression against Ukraine and urgently withdraw its military and other unauthorized person from the zapia nuclear power plant the 193 member UN General Assembly adopted the resolution with 99 votes in favor nine against and 60 abstentions

defense.gov now the Russian defense Ministry said that the two held a phone call where they discussed lowering the risk of possible escalation the call which was initiated by Moscow comes as tensions between the two sides flare over Washington’s plans to deploy longrange missiles in Germany a decision the Kremlin warned could spell a return to Cold War style confrontation now over two years of exhaustive war seems to have eroded enthusiasm in ukrainians to pick up arms against the Russian invasion attracting new Fighters is posing a challenge to Ukraine as cues of young men joining army are getting shorter strengthened by long delayed Western Aid Ukraine’s forces have struggled for months now to hold the line against Russian troops more details in our next report we don’t use Force we

register or renew their personal data at draft offices or online by July 16th and draft officials say they’ve struggled with a sudden influx people used to wait for weeks to get the chance to join the

a nearby store and another refused to stop others quietly obliged President Vladimir zalinsky lowered the draft age to 25 from 27 in April and overhauled the mobilization process and there are signs

2 months without providing figures many weary troops are desperate to be replaced after more than two years of almost non-stop service you’re needed replace us there are those who react positively I’d say up to 70% of the time I don’t even have to explain anything to them they understand that nobody else will do this except for themselves nobody else in an April survey commissioned by a state broadcaster about half of ukrainians thought mobilization was going poorly and 60% had a negative view of draft offices though strengthened by long delayed Western Aid Ukraine’s forces have struggled for months to hold the line against Russian troops who are inching forward in the East while the ongoing Ukraine Russia War has led to shortage of Manpower and armed Supply in the battlefield both sides have been replying on smart and lowcost Alternatives such as artillery shells instead of pricey missiles and drones and instead of fighter aircraft in the latest Ukraine has been hedging its bets on ground drones the car-sized drones which can be controlled remotely is designed to act as a rescue and Supply vehicle it can also be modified to carry a remotely operated heavy machine gun or fire mine clearing charges the 1,750 pound prototype developed by a ukraine-based startup is one of the Dozen equipment awaiting military assessment interestingly the ground drone costs nearly $35,000 which is 10% of what an equipment model imported from abroad will cost this is the biggest drone in Ukraine in a caterpillar that exist in nowaday in using uh in a military and also we are 10 times cheaper than uh the similar product from Europe our main uh subject it was evacuation it was a logistic and it was a battle T it but you can use it uh whatever you want what imagination can create it to use Ukraine has been facing Manpower shortages and uneven International assistance the country is struggling to Halt Russia’s pounding advance in the East and is counting heavily on Innovation at home several startups have been developing military equipment locally to help Frontline soldiers before this we designed various buggies for rental prior to the full scale Innovation it was nothing more than a hobby when the time came we started designing these kinds of things to help the military Ukraine has semi-autonomous attack drones and counter drone weapons endowed with artificial intelligence the combination of lowcost weapons and artificial intelligence tools is Waring many experts who say lowcost drones will enable their plation technology leaders to the United Nations and

alliance of seeking security at the expense of others and warned against bringing chaos to Asia clearly the tensions continue to rise for years the European Union has carefully navigated its relationship with China balancing economic interdependence with concerns about human rights and geopolitical Ambitions however beijing’s unwe in support for Russia’s aggression in Ukraine may be a

referring to a NATO Summit declaration that said Russia Remains The most significant and direct threat to the allly security this is what she said listen in the second point that I would like to draw your attention to is that the final declaration that was adopted at the NATO Summit in Washington which was held from July 9th to 11th Russia was once again called a threat to the group a direct quote in all operating environments for long-term prospective this is not so Russia is not preparing to attack NATO the North Atlantic Alliance is following the path of escalating tensions con constantly they’re pushing they’re endlessly mentioning Russia and its capacity from document to document of the now Western leaders have repeatedly said that Russian President Vladimir Putin will order his military to go further and attack NATO countries in Central and Eastern Europe if he is not stopped in Ukraine meanwhile Putin met with the Moscow installed governor of the zapia region in Kremlin during the meeting he told the governor that the main focus in zapia was the security of the nuclear power plant Putin accused Ukraine of conducting strikes against the nuclear plant he adds that a lack of attention from this to this in fact from the forces that support Ukraine is a big mistake on their part the key factor is the maintaining of security of the entire region and people we will do this we will manage it without a doubt I see the things that need to be addressed that are connected to the security first of all this is the security of the zafur ridia nuclear power plant the fact that the enemy is conducting direct strikes on the plant requires special attention from our side and unfortunately does not draw attention from those forces that support the keev regime today this is their big mistake and we will remember this and talk about this many [Music] times now the attack took place earlier this month when and this is according to Russian officials a Ukrainian drone attack injured eight workers from the Russian controls araria nuclear power plant and left a nearby Town largely without power and water earlier the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution that demanded

possible escalation the call which was initiated by mosow comes as tensions between the two sides flare over Washington’s plans to deploy long range missiles in Germany a decision the Kremlin warned could spell a return to Cold War style confrontation now over two years of exhaustive war seems to have eroded enthusiasm in ukrainians to pick up arms against the Russian invasion attracting new Fighters is posing a challenge to Ukraine as cues of young men joining army are getting shorter strengthened by long delay Western Aid Ukraine’s forces have struggled for months now to hold the line against Russian troops more details in our next report we don’t use Force we don’t twist anyone’s arm or force them into minivans we’re against these methods I’m against them this combat veteran who goes by the call sign phantomas is waging a different kind of battle on the streets of Kiev to replenish troop numbers he says men are less eager to fight than before 28 months after Russia’s Invasion there’s a queue outside the local draft office but men under 60 now have to register or renew their personal data at draft offices or online by July 16th and draft officials say they’ve struggled with a sudden influx people used to wait for weeks to get the chance to join the Army now as far as I know most of the cues are people who want to obtain some sort of exemption V is ay comped the draft officer on a recent Patrol as he handed out callup papers one man slipped into a nearby store and another refused to stop others quietly obliged President Vladimir zalinsky lowered the draft age to 25 from 27 in April and overhauled the mobilization process and there are signs the drive is working recruitment numbers are shrouded in Wartime secrecy but the Ukrainian military told Reuters in a statement conscription more than doubled in May and June compared to the previous two months without providing figures many weary troops are desperate to be replaced after more than two years of almost non-stop service you’re needed replace us there are those who react positively I’d say up to 70% of the time I don’t even have to explain anything to them they understand that nobody else will do this except for themselves nobody else in an April survey commissioned by a state broadcaster about half of ukrainians thought mobilization was going poorly and 60% had a negative view of draft offices though strengthened by long delayed Western Aid Ukraine’s forces have struggled for months to hold the line against Russian troops who are inching forward in the East while the ongoing Ukraine Russia War has led to shortage of Manpower and arm Supply in the battlefield both sides have been replying on smart and lowcost Alternatives such as artillery shells instead of pricey missiles and drones and instead of fighter aircraft in the latest Ukraine has been hedging its bets on Grand drones the car-sized drones which can be controlled remotely is designed to act as a rescue and Supply vehicle it can also be modified to carry a remotely operated heavy machine gun or fire mine clearing charges the 1,750 lb prototype developed by a Ukraine based startup is one of the dozens equipment awaiting military assessment interestingly the grand drone costs nearly $35,000 which is 10% of what an equipment model imported from abroad will cost this is the biggest drone in Ukraine in a caterpillar that exist in nowaday in using uh in a military and also we are 10 times cheaper than uh the similar product from Europe our main uh subject it was evacuation it was a logistic and it was a battle tur it but you can use it whever you want what imagination can create it to use Ukraine has been facing Manpower shortages and uneven International assistance the country is struggling to Hal Russia’s pounding advance in the East and is counting heavily on Innovation at home several startups have been developing military equipment locally to help Frontline soldiers before this we designed various buggies for rental prior to the full scale Innovation it was nothing more than a hobby when the time came he started designing these kinds of things to help the military Ukraine has semi-autonomous attack drones and counter drone weapons endowed with artificial intelligence the combination of lowcost weapons and artificial intelligence tools is warning many experts who say lowcost drones will enable their plation technology leader to the United Nations and the Vatican wored that the use of drones and AI in weapons can reduce the barrier to killing and dramatically

Russian attacks in a new wave of warnings the Kremlin has announced the deployment of us missiles in Germany could make European capitals a clear and legitimate Target for Russian missiles in a repeat

according to reports in the Wall Street Journal it’s being said that a large number of Ukrainian men are dying but drowning in rivers while they’re trying to escape to neighboring Nations many many of them are said to be fugitives from a military draft that was aimed at sustaining Ukraine’s war effort the bodies in the river show the biggest issue that Ukraine faces is not that of lack of ammunition but the lack of trained Personnel to take on the Russian Onslaught in the battlefield [Music] on the other hand Russia has said that it is not planning to attack NATO as it was the alliance that was aggravating tensions foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria zacharova was referring to a NATO Summit declaration that said Russia Remains The most significant and direct threat to the allly security this is what she said listen in the second point that I would like to draw your attention to is that the final declaration that was adopted at the NATO Summit in Washington which was held from July 9th to 11th Russia was once again called a threat to the group a direct quote in all operating environments for long-term prospective this is not so Russia is not preparing to attack NATO the North Atlantic Alliance is following the path of escalating tensions constantly they’re pushing they’re endlessly mentioning Russia and its capacity from document to document of the now Western leaders have repeatedly said that Russian President Vladimir Putin will order his military to go further and attack NATO countries in Central and Eastern Europe if he is not stopped in Ukraine meanwhile Putin met with the Moscow installed governor of the zapia region in Kremlin during the meeting he told the governor that the main focus in zapia was the security of the nuclear power plant Putin accused Ukraine of conducting strikes against the nuclear plant he adds that a lack of attention from this to this in fact from the forces that support Ukraine is a big mistake on their part the key factor is the maintaining of security of the entire region and people we will do this we will manage it without a doubt I see the things that need to be addressed that are connected to the security first of all this is the security of the zafur ridia nuclear power plant the fact that the enemy is conducting direct strikes on the plant requires special attention from our side and unfortunately does not draw attention from those forces that support the keev regime today this is their big mistake and we will remember this and talk about this many [Music] times now the attack took place earlier this month when and this is according to Russian officials a Ukrainian drone attack injured eight workers from the Russian controls aaria nuclear power plant and left a nearby Town largely without power and water earlier the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution that demanded that Russia to immediately seize its aggression against Ukraine and urgently withdraw its military
