Trudeau extends Ukraine military training in U.K. amid Russian war
Polish media reported that two people died Tuesday afternoon after a projectile struck an area where grain was drying in Przewodow, a village near the border with Ukraine.Three U.S. officials said preliminary assessments suggested the missile was fired by Ukrainian forces at an incoming Russian one amid a crushing salvo against Ukraine’s electrical infrastructure. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.
“I think the right thing now is for everyone to just calmly ascertain exactly what happened, gather the facts,” Sunak said.The pair also spoke Wednesday with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. In a joint statement, the leaders said they “condemn the barbaric missile attacks that Russia perpetrated on Ukrainian cities and civilian infrastructure.”
Polish President Andrzej Duda qualified his officials’ statement, telling reporters later that the missile was “most probably” Russian-made but that the information is still being verified and officials don’t know for sure who fired it. In Brussels, NATO countries were coming together Wednesday for emergency talks. There was no immediate proof that Tuesday’s blast was a deliberate, hostile attack on NATO member Poland that could trigger the alliance’s provisions for a collective military response.
It was unclear whether Tuesday’s events would fall under that category, or if they may fall under Article 4, which says member states can convene a consultation with other members if they feel their security or independence are threatened.

Warmongers are watching the wrong channelOTTAWA—It has been nearly nine months since Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion of Ukraine. What was expected to be a lightning-strike armoured assault to capture Kyiv has turned into a long, drawn-out farcical rout of the Russian military. Last week, Putin’s senior defence officials went on Russian state television to announce they would be making a temporary tactical withdrawal from the Ukrainian city of Kherson. With Ukraine having successfully destroyed or damaged the major bridges, the Russian military can no longer supply and sustain the roughly 40,000 soldiers in their Kherson bridgehead on the west bank of the Dnipro River. The fate of those Russian troops will be determined in the days ahead, as Ukraine’s military continues to advance faster than the Russians can evacuate their forces back to the east bank of the Dnipro. Of the original Russian invasion force of 120,000 combat troops, United States intelligence estimates that nearly 90,000 Russians have thus far been killed, wounded, captured, or have deserted. To make up the loss of frontline combat capable units, Putin reluctantly ordered the mobilization of 300,000 ill-motivated reservists. In terms of equipment, Russian losses have been equally heavy, with shattered armoured vehicles littering the Ukraine landscape from Kyiv to Kharkiv to Kherson. To replenish this arsenal, Putin is able to tap into the vast fleets of moth-balled Soviet Union-era armoured vehicles. However, if the Russian first string of soldiers and weapons failed to defeat Ukraine’s forces, it is unlikely that these less-trained, less-motivated conscripts with antiquated tanks will somehow reverse the course of the war. The best result Putin can hope for now is to slow the Ukrainian counter offensive, dig in on the east bank of the Dnipro, and hope that crippling oil and gas shortages across western Europe force Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s allies to demand a negotiated settlement.
