According to British military experts, a Russian offensive in the war of aggression once morest Ukraine has currently become less likely due to the deployment of previously uncommitted troops. This emerges from the daily intelligence report from the Ministry of Defense in London on Wednesday.
Accordingly, Moscow probably deployed parts of its newly founded 25th Army for the first time in battle west of the cities of Sievierodonetsk and Kreminna. “Since the start of the invasion, Russia has rarely held back an uncommitted army-sized group that might potentially form the basis of a major new offensive push,” the British statement said. But with parts of the 25th Army being deployed to reinforce thinned ranks at the front, a concerted new Russian offensive in the coming weeks is less likely.

10:16 a.m. – Russia blacklists British admiral
The Russian Foreign Ministry says it has imposed sanctions on another 23 British politicians, military officials, journalists and scientists. The best-known name on the list published on the authority’s official website is British military chief Toni Radakin, who the media attributes to a key role in coordinating Western military aid to Ukraine. Russia had previously sanctioned large parts of London’s political elite.
All people who have been placed on the blacklist are now banned from entering Russia. Moscow justified the expansion of sanctions with the alleged “anti-Russian course implemented by London” and “support for the neo-Nazi regime in Kiev”. Admiral Radakin, who has been in office as Chief of the Defense Staff since the end of 2021, met with Russia’s Chief of General Staff Valery Gerasimov shortly before the outbreak of war, where, according to information from London, he assured him that Moscow was not preparing an invasion.
07:47 a.m. – Traffic on the Crimean Bridge is running once more following a short interruption
Car traffic on the Crimean Bridge is running once more. After a short break in the morning, there were no traffic jams in any direction, the Russian authorities announced on the short message service Telegram. Traffic on the car and rail bridge that connects the annexed Crimean peninsula and the Russian mainland is often stopped because of Ukrainian drone attacks.
The 19 kilometer long bridge is important for supplying Russian troops in Crimea and in the largely occupied Kherson Oblast in southern Ukraine. The structure, a prestige project inaugurated by President Vladimir Putin himself, has already been attacked several times and, in some cases, significantly damaged. In October 2022 there was a first explosion on the bridge, some of which was significantly damaged.
04:53 a.m. – Estonia’s head of government believes higher defense spending in NATO is necessary
Estonia’s Prime Minister Kaja Kallas has encouraged the other NATO states to significantly increase their defense spending following the example of the Baltic republics. She referred to her own country, which will increase this budget item to 3.2 percent of gross domestic product next year. “And that is something that I also promote at NATO level,” said Kallas on the sidelines of the Baltic Security Conference. The regional security situation following Russia’s attack on Ukraine will be discussed in the Estonian capital Tallin on Wednesday.
“Look at 1988, when all NATO allies spent more than two percent of their gross domestic product on defense. And why? Because they viewed the danger as serious. But now the danger is greater than during the Cold War because the war has returned to Europe,” she said.
Defense Minister Boris Pistorius will attend the security conference on Wednesday. It is expected that the SPD politician will chart Germany’s future course in security policy. Representatives of the Baltic republics as well as other NATO states and Ukraine take part in the meeting (“Annual Baltic Conference on Defense/ABCD”). The minister’s speech also marks the end of his three-day visit to Latvia and Estonia.
04:28 a.m. – Wladimir Klitschko: No chance for peace talks with Russia
Former Ukrainian boxing world champion Wladimir Klitschko currently sees no chance of negotiating peace with Russia. “Negotiations with whom, with Russia, with Putin, Lavrov, with who?”, the 47-year-old answered a corresponding question on Markus Lanz’s ZDF program on Tuesday.
The brother of Kiev’s mayor Vitali Klitschko added: “They are liars, they have lied to the world for decades with their propaganda.” Klitschko went on to ask what one should negotiate with liars and answered himself: “That we cover up, forget: rape, killing “, torture, destroyed lives.” If you go into negotiations, then don’t do it from a position of weakness.
Wladimir Klitschko said he was worried that people in Germany and other countries might become war-weary. “Prices have become higher, life has become more expensive, life in Europe has changed,” said Klitschko. Nevertheless, most people still understand and support the Ukrainians. “In sport as well as in war, endurance beats everything.” Even if everything progresses very slowly and laboriously.
It has become clear that Vladimir Putin’s Russia should “swallow” itself from this war – with the consequences that the war will stop and something like this will not happen once more. “Evil has no end unless we give the end to evil.”
00:01 – Airbnb wants to support Ukraine tourism following the war
US accommodation provider AirBnb and Ukraine’s tourism agency have signed a joint agreement to support post-war tourism. “This agreement is very important to me. Even if only a very limited tourist offer is possible in Ukraine today, it is important to set the course now for the time following the war,” said Airbnb co-founder Nathan Blecharczyk to the “Süddeutsche Zeitung”.
