#Washington has not changed its position on potential Ukrainian strikes with #US-supplied weapons on Russian territory, even after #Russia had launched its offensive in #Kharkiv Oblast, #Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina #Singh said at a press briefing on May 16.

"We believe that the equipment, the capabilities that we are giving Ukraine, that other countries are giving to #Ukraine should be used to take back Ukrainian sovereign territory,"

#Ukraine needs more long-range weapons to fight off Russian advances in the northern #Kharkiv region where the situation around the country's second-largest city remains "highly dramatic"

It is important to cut off Russian supply routes and give Ukraine weapons "that can be used over medium and long distances," Annalena #Baerbock said on the sidelines of a meeting of the foreign ministers in Strasbourg.

"We are also working with other partners on this."

🧵 In the #Kharkiv region, the enemy reached the first line, the deepest point of their advance being 10km, President #Zelensky said.

The defense forces managed to stabilize the Russian troops in the Kharkiv region. The enemy did not reach the concrete defense line.

In the north of the Kharkiv region, the enemy has strengthened its presence with individual battalions. The goal of the occupiers is to capture a 10-kilometer zone along the border.

Drone footage from #Vovchansk suggests Russian infiltration with local assistance.

Video shows Russian soldiers entering a garage with a local resident, potentially a "collaborator".

This tactic of forming larger groups from smaller ones in pre-designated spots indicates prior planning and local knowledge.

While the evidence is circumstantial, it raises concerns about potential Russian collaborators in Vovchansk.

#I know #Russia doesn't have the numbers necessary to do a strategic breakthrough,” Christopher #Cavoli told reporters after a meeting of the alliance’s defense chiefs at #NATO headquarters in #Brussels

“They don't have the skill and the capability to do it, to operate at the scale necessary to exploit any breakthrough to strategic advantage," said the #US general, but added: "They do have the ability to make local advances and they have done some of that”

#NATO allies are inching closer to sending troops into #Ukraine to train Ukrainian forces, a move that would be another blurring of a previous red line and could draw the #US and Europe more directly into the war.

So far the United States has said no, but Gen. Charles Q. #Brown Jr., the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said on Thursday that a NATO deployment of trainers appeared inevitable. “We’ll get there eventually, over time,” he said.

#Unilever Plc will keep making #Cornetto and Carte D’Or in #Russia even after shedding its global ice cream unit.

Companies like Unilever condemned Russia’s invasion but finding buyers for the assets of “unfriendly countries” is challenging and incurs a large exit tax. #Mondelez, #Nestle and #Procter & #Gamble are among the Western multinationals that have maintained large operations in Russia.
