According to London, Moscow has recruits trained by Belarusian trainers
9.06 a.m .:
According to British military experts, the Russian armed forces are now relying on the help of Belarusian trainers on a large scale for recruit training.
This emerges from the daily intelligence update from the Ministry of Defense in London.
According to this, thousands of Russian recruits are being prepared for a mission by the Belarusian military.
The background is a lack of Russian trainers, many of whom are currently deployed during the invasion of Ukraine or were wounded or died there.
According to the British, this is a sign of how strained the Russian armed forces are now.
The British Ministry of Defense has published daily information on the course of the war since the beginning of the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine at the end of February, citing intelligence information.
In doing so, the British government wants to both counter the Russian portrayal and keep allies in line.
Moscow accuses London of a targeted disinformation campaign.
Russia's ambassador accuses the United States of "proxy warfare."
8:54 a.m.:
Moscow’s ambassador in Washington accuses the United States of continuing a “proxy war” against Russia in view of the delivery of the Patriot air defense system to Ukraine.
The US is about achieving a victory over Russia, said Russian ambassador Anatoly Antonov in Washington.
The visit of the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj in Washington was staged "Hollywood-style".
This shows that Washington's assurances that it is not seeking confrontation with Russia are "just empty words."
Zelenskyj's visit to the USA on Wednesday shows that neither Washington nor Kyiv are ready for peace.
Instead, the "lie" is being spread that Russia is not interested in a peaceful solution.
The United States would be guided by the "morbid idea of victory over the Russians on the battlefield," Antonov said, according to a message published on Facebook by the embassy.
Enormous financial resources, weapons and reconnaissance would be used for this.
