3:34pm: Swiss president defends neutrality, Ukraine arms ban​

Swiss neutrality is more important than ever, President Alain Berset said in an interview published Sunday, defending the controversial ban on transferring Swiss-made arms to Ukraine.
"Swiss weapons must not be used in wars," he told the NZZ am Sonntag weekly.
The long tradition of neutrality has been hotly debated since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
While the wealthy Alpine country, which is not a member of the European Union, has followed the bloc's lead on sanctions targeting Moscow, it has so far shown less flexibility on its military neutrality.
Despite pressure from Kyiv and its allies, Switzerland has continued to block countries that hold Swiss-made weaponry from re-exporting it to Ukraine.
To date, requests from Germany, Spain and Denmark have ben rejected under the War Materiel Act, which bars all re-export if the recipient country is in an international armed conflict.

11:54am: ‘No confirmed advances’ for Russian troops in Bakhmut, says US think tank​

Russia’s advance seems to have stalled in Moscow's campaign to capture the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut, a leading think tank said in an assessment of the longest ground battle of the war.
The Washington-based Institute for the Study of War said there were no confirmed advances by Russian forces in Bakhmut. Russian forces and units from the Kremlin-controlled paramilitary Wagner Group continued to launch ground attacks in the city, but there was no evidence that they were able to make any progress, ISW said late Saturday.

The report cited the spokesperson of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ Eastern Group, Serhii Cherevaty, who said that fighting in the Bakhmut area had been more intense this week than the previous one. According to Cherevaty, there were 23 clashes in the city over the previous 24 hours.

10:05am: Situation in Bahkmut ‘very, very difficult’ for Ukrainian troops​

Ukraine’s commander in chief says the situation in Bakhmut is “increasingly difficult” after more than seven months of fighting in the region, FRANCE 24's Emmanuel Chaze reports.
While Russia’s Wagner group has made unverified claims of gains in region, “one thing is for sure: the situation is very, very difficult for Ukrainian troops,” Chaze added.

7:39am: Russians living in richest cities ‘relatively unscathed’ by high casualties of war toll says UK intelligence​

Russian casualties of war are concentrated among people living in east Russia while wealthier families based in Moscow and St Petersburg are "relatively unscathed" the British Ministry of Defence said on Sunday. In some cases, ethnic minority groups are disproportionately impacted, it added.
"In many of the Eastern regions, deaths are likely running, as a percentage of population, at a rate 30+ times higher than in Moscow. In places, ethnic minorities take the biggest hit; in Astrakhan some 75% of casualties come from the minority Kazakh and Tartar populations," it said in a Tweet

Even worse, the magnitude of destructive power that Little Boy and Fat Man had pale in comparison to modern day nukes. The major powers have thousands of those nukes. These idiots calling for nukes to fly better have sunscreen ready when the Earth's surface is turned to glass.

If Russia drops a nuke I think Putin is assassinated within the year. To many actual adults will freak out over the potential of the end of the species. A lot of countries have gone to war that had nukes and retreated without using nukes. America recently did that in Afghanistan. There is no excuse to use Nukes considering the long term damage to the environment either and the amount of grain Ukraine grows.
