According to intercepted communications, Russian losses have been described as catastrophic, yet they continue to send troops to the area.

The United States declared that they support any actions taken by the European Union for the use of frozen assets to benefit Ukraine. The European Union has already begun releasing funds frozen in their banks, worth about $200 billion, to aid Ukraine. The US is working on seizing and confiscating these assets, and it is expected that Europe will follow suit once the issue is resolved in America. The Baltic countries continue to prepare for potential Russian invasion by building a defense line on their border, which includes over a thousand bunkers and various engineering structures such as anti-tank trenches and barbed wire fences. Countries like Norway, Finland, Poland, and now the Baltics, have transformed their borders into a defense line to protect themselves from the Russian threat. Internal measures are also being taken against collaboration and separatism within these countries and to purge them of Russian influence. Measures taken by the Baltic countries include a new regulation in Latvia, which prohibits vehicles with Russian registration from entering the country, except for transit purposes, and imposes fines on drivers. These precautions reflect the seriousness with which the Baltic countries view the threat from Russia, and their efforts to insulate themselves from Russian influence.

They specifically called for the greenlighting of a bill supporting military-technical assistance to Ukraine. Following this news, the speaker turned to a military-related question: why do Ukrainian searchlights, seeking to intercept drones, have such poor performance? Military experts explained that modern technology LED lamps are not capable of competing with powerful spotlights used by zenith projectors. These projectors, whichrequire a heavy generator for power, hamper mobility. Therefore, more compact, efficient options are now preferred for military groups that need to quickly move and respond to changing situations. Concerning the use ofcluster munitions against enemy infantry, they are available but are being used less and less due to their high energy consumption and limited mobility. Instead, more modern, compact, and energy-efficient options are preferred.

Итоги заседания "Рамштайн," the speaker discusses the current state of military schools in Russia due to a lack of students caused by the rising need for young officers on the frontlines. The Russian military has resorted to expedited graduations to address the shortage of officers, but this has not been enough to meet the required number of recruits for military schools. This situation has been ongoing since the late 1990s, and young people are reluctant to join military schools due to the guaranteed deployment to the frontlines. Despite this, conscription continues in schools, starting from middle school. The speaker also mentions the difficulty in capturing Slaviansk and the Donetsk region due to Ukraine's deeply entrenched and highly fortified defensive lines.
