Nearly All Abrams Tanks The US Gave Ukraine Have Been Destroyed Or Disabled
Russian media outlet RIA Novosti has cited a study which says the majority of the 31 US-supplied M1 Abrams tanks delivered to Ukraine have been destroyed.
The tanks, which were authorized for transfer under President Biden, have all been destroyed or damaged with the exception of a mere five. These remaining tanks were then reportedly pulled from the front lines given Ukrainian commanders' fears they are too vulnerable to superior Russian airpower.

The claim that 26 have been destroyed since they entered the battlefield seems plausible, and consistent with an April 2024 Associated Press report which confirmed at the time, "Ukraine has sidelined U.S.-provided Abrams M1A1 battle tanks for now in its fight against Russia, in part because Russian drone warfare has made it too difficult for them to opera...

Russia Considered The Biggest Threat To Peace In Europe
After decades of relative peace in Europe following the end of World War II, with a few notable exceptions, Russia's invasion of Ukraine served as a stark reminder that the specter of war is still alive. Within a few days in February 2022, millions of lives were turned upside down and Europe's sense of safety was deeply rattled.
As Statista's Felix Richter notes, the longer the war dragged on, the more aware Europeans became of the looming threat that Putin's Russia poses to European peace, especially after Donald Trump was re-elected and immediately threatened to withdraw support for Ukraine and questioned the U.S. commitment to NATO, which had effectively shielded Western Europe from Russian aggression for decades.
According to a new YouGov survey, many Europeans even consider World War III a possibility, with at least 30 percent of respondents in France, Spain, Italy, Germany and the UK saying that it's very or fairly likely ...

US Eyes Nuclear Power Deal With Armenia
Via Eurasianet.org,
The US Embassy in Armenia has indicated that the United States is working to secure a deal for Westinghouse Nuclear to build Armenia's next nuclear reactor.
Armenia is seeking to replace its aging Metsamor nuclear facility and has been exploring expanded civil nuclear energy cooperation with the United States since mid-2024.
Russia's Rosatom, which currently operates the Metsamor facility, is likely to compete with Westinghouse for the contract to build Armenia's next nuclear plant.
A somewhat cryptic social media post by the US Embassy in Armenia indicates the United States is maneuvering to build the Caucasus state's next nuclear reactor.
The awkwardly phrased information snippet appearing on the embassy's official Facebook and Twitter (X) pages April 22 states Ambassador Kristina Kvien “met Westinghouse to discuss Armenia's nuclear energy sector,” adding only that “U.S. companies have deep expertise and ...
