Helpful illustration of the US military aid to Ukraine already paid for and in the pipeline. If this continues despite Trump deciding "he is out", it's not terrible for Ukraine. Especially if they (and their European partners) are also allowed to purchase weapons at US manufacturers.
Helpful chart showing projected US aid to Ukraine which is already in the proverbial pipeline. "weapons and support from contracts signed in the past three years will continue flowing to Ukraine for years to come" www.csis.org/analysis/can...

The Bolkhov Semiconductor Plant in Russia’s Oryol region supplies microchips for military tech like Sukhoi jets and Iskander missiles. Despite U.S. sanctions, it sources components from Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, and the U.S. through intermediaries in China, Hong Kong, Turkey, and Belarus.

Panel on shadow fleet at #LennartMeriConference. Estonian DM said this week was the first time that Russia had sent a fighter jet to protect a ship in the shadow fleet. The ship Estonia tackled was “without a flag”, he says (my understanding is that it had two spurious flags).
