[Korrespondent] 22:34 Paris does not exclude the supply of fighter jets to Kiev, however, on the condition that this does not provoke an escalation of the war, and also does not harm the security of Europe and, in particular, France itself, said the head of the National Assembly Committee on National Defense and the Armed Forces of France, Thomas Gasillud .
22:31 The declaration of PMC Wagner as a transnational criminal organization means the freezing of any American assets of the group and prohibits US individuals and legal entities from providing funds, goods or services to this group. For more details, see US Sanctions against Wagner .
22:29 Zelensky said in an evening video message that the tank coalition already includes 12 countries. "Russian terror requires asymmetric responses.

No matter what the Russian occupiers are planning, our preparation must be stronger," the president stressed.
21:45 Ukraine turned to Estonia with a request to transfer cluster munitions, and Tallinn is asking Berlin to allow their re-export, Estonian Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur said: “Estonia has decided to provide Ukraine with 155 mm artillery ammunition. If we provide Ukraine with cluster munitions, I don’t see problems, since both belligerents are already using such munitions on the territory of Ukraine."
21:03 Reznikov said that Western tanks on the battlefield will be supported by Ukrainian artillery - in particular, Bogdan's self-propelled artillery mount: "Last year, after a critical period when a significant amount of resources was directed to import necessary for defense, the Ministry of Defense prepared a transition to The amount of funds was sent to Ukrainian manufacturers in 2023. This applies to all components - from uniforms, shoes, bulletproof vests and UAVs to heavy weapons and ammunition." The minister added that soon the Ministry of Defense will present the first results of work on Ukrainian drones.
20:29 The Russians are actively using mobile crematoria - in the rear of the advanced positions of the occupiers, there is a constant movement of about five such vehicles, Deputy Defense Minister Anna Malyar said, citing military intelligence data. According to the GUR, cremations take place without any identification and accounting of the bodies of the dead. Thus, the Russian command hides the huge losses of personnel and avoids paying compensation to the families of the victims.

We are partnering with the World Bank, with the consulting firm Deloitte, and with a group of US government auditors who are in Kiev this week."
19:56 PACE stated in its resolution that Russian official rhetoric, which is used to justify a full-scale invasion and aggression against Ukraine, has signs of public incitement to genocide and may indicate a genocidal intent to destroy the Ukrainian national group as such, or at least part of it.

19:27 Zelensky announced that he had held a regular meeting of the Headquarters of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, where they discussed measures for even more reliable counteraction to future missile threats. We also listened to the reports of the commanders of the troops of the operational areas on the current situation at the front, examined in detail the situation in the Bakhmut direction.

The escalation is already in full, there is already a big war, and everything is needed give Ukraine here and now... Now there will be an era of saturation of Ukraine with everything necessary to reach the finals in this war."
According to the adviser to the head of the OP, Ukraine needs 350-400 tanks to form tank assault brigades. "I think that we will reach this figure," Podolyak is convinced. According to him, the only problem in terms of supply remains logistics.

After a full-scale invasion, Putin is nobody for me."
