Matthew Whitaker, U.S. Ambassador to NATO, discusses China's influence on the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, and the need for an unconditional ceasefire.

Russia’s arms production has significantly ramped up, but NATO still holds key advantages in modern artillery systems and aircraft despite exaggerated claims of Russian superiority.

Ukraine’s top military commander Gen. Oleksandr Syrsky called on President Trump to provide long-range missiles capable of attacking deep into Russia to cripple Moscow’s war machine.

NATO members that border Russia are buying US-made HIMARS. One defense minister told BI that the war shows deep strike abilities are needed.

Russia and Ukraine are expected to hold another round of negotiations on Wednesday in Istanbul, but the two warring countries have flatly rejected each other’s demands.

Others with a stake in Ukraine’s security and relations with Russia must stay engaged too, argues the Nobel Peace Prize winner

A war that bloodies but does not beat Russia is China’s obvious favorite choice. A weak Russia implicated in an unwinnable war would be chastised but still exist as Beijing’s vassal and have no alternative to kowtowing to its Chinese overlord. That kind of Russia suits China perfectly.

Partners have struggled to get Ukraine the weapons it needs. An alternative way is helping Ukraine better help itself.
