Quick Glance: Detention of Russia's Deputy Defense Minister on Suspicion of High Treason

Timur Ivanov, Russia's deputy defense minister, is suspected of high treason and bribery, facing a possible 15-year sentence.

Ivanov's arrest sparked speculation about a potential purge within Moscow's elite circle, especially given his close relationships with Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov.

Independent Russian media outlets report corruption allegations against Ivanov and his family, stemming from kickbacks on ministry-related contracts.

Ivanov is also alleged to have profited from construction projects in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol, which fell under Moscow's control after a prolonged siege. His arrest came shortly after a meeting with Shoigu and other defense ministry officials.

Quick Glance: Israel artist calls for Gaza ceasefire

The representative of Israel at the international art fair is calling for an immediate ceasefire in Israel’s war on Gaza.

Ruth Patir’s video installation called (M)otherland was scheduled to open on Saturday at Israel’s national pavilion at the international art show but will remain closed for now.

Patir stated on her website that the artist and curators are showing solidarity with the families of the hostages and the large community in Israel calling for change, rather than canceling themselves or the exhibition.

It is believed that there are still individuals in Gaza, including 129 captives taken during the attacks led by Hamas on Israel on October 7, with 34 of them presumed dead.

Quick Glance: Ukraine shoots down Russian strategic bomber, nine killed

Russian officials say the plane crashed over the southern Stavropol region due to a technical malfunction.

Ukraine's air force announced that they shot down a Russian strategic bomber with anti-aircraft missiles for the first time since the war began in 2022.

The bomber was downed in Russian airspace, 300km from Ukraine's border, after participating in a long-range airstrike that resulted in the death of at least nine people in the central region of Dnipropetrovsk.

NATO and the USA are planning to provide additional air defense systems to Ukraine for support.

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy thanked U.S. political leaders for approving an aid package for Ukraine, providing the country with a chance at "victory" in its defense against Russia.

The House passed a bill granting Ukraine $60.8 billion in aid, with Zelenskyy urging swift Senate approval to ensure rapid assistance to frontline soldiers.

Zelenskyy emphasized the critical need for long-range weapons and air defense systems to stabilize the situation and regain the initiative in Ukraine.

He addressed rumors of a territorial deal with Russia, emphasizing the importance of a strategy based on concrete democratic measures to end the war.

The USA delivered short-range ATACMS missiles with extended range to Ukraine to protect the country.

The delivery was discreet, part of an aid package to maintain Ukraine's operational security.

The USA previously provided ATACMS missiles with a range of 165 km last year, now supplying missiles with up to 300 km range.

Germany rejects providing the Taurus missile while the USA offers extensive aid to Ukraine.

Ukraine seeks Taurus missiles from Germany, but Chancellor Scholz reiterates rejection. Discussions are ongoing about alternative weapons for defense against Russia.

Despite US aid to Ukraine with ATACMS missiles, Scholz maintains his refusal of Taurus. Germany and the UK emphasize their role as key weapons suppliers to Ukraine.

The US Congress approved $61 billion in Ukraine aid, potentially enabling the delivery of ATACMS missiles with a range of 300 km. Discussions are underway about new types of weapons.

Germany and the UK are jointly planning the development of a remote-controlled howitzer for ground operations. Scholz sticks to his rejection of Taurus delivery despite the US decision.

Quick Glance: Russia Strikes Chernihiv: 18 Dead, Ukraine Appeals for Air Defense

At least 18 people were killed and over 60 wounded in Chernihiv due to Russian missile strikes. Ukrainian officials emphasized that the attack could have been prevented with adequate air defense systems.

Russia launched three Iskander cruise missiles at the city, located near the Russian border and previously encircled by Russian troops.

Ukraine currently has three Patriot air defense systems but requires 26 for full coverage. Following appeals for more systems, Germany pledged to send an additional one.

A $60 billion aid package for Ukraine is stalled in the US Congress, allowing Russia to exploit ammunition and air defense shortages and gain ground in the east.

Quick Glance: UK Considers Providing Latest Laser Weapons to Ukraine

Defense Secretary Grant Shapps suggests that prototypes of the latest laser weapons being developed in the UK could potentially be provided to Ukraine in the future to strengthen its air defense systems.

Originally planned for production to begin in 2032, the UK Defense Ministry now aims to achieve this earlier - by 2027.

Shapps aims to significantly shorten the usually lengthy development-procurement procedures so that the system can be deployed on ships and potentially on land as quickly as possible for use against combat drones.

The DragonFire laser weapon will be distinguished by its high speed and accuracy, with the additional advantage of low cost compared to air defense missiles - a single shot lasting 10 seconds is equivalent in cost to using a standard heater for an hour.

In ‘message,’ IDF said to fire 3 missiles at radar defense for secret Iran nuclear site

timesofisrael.com/in-message-idf-said-to-fire-3-missiles-at-radar-defense-for-secret-iran-nuclear-site/

Quick Glance: Israeli Strike Damages Iranian Air Defense System Without Detection, Officials Say

An Israeli airstrike on Iran on Friday damaged an air defense system, according to Western and Iranian officials, and appeared calculated to deliver a message that Israel could bypass Iran’s defensive systems undetected and paralyze them.

The strike damaged a defensive battery near Natanz, a city in central Iran that is critical to the country’s nuclear weapons program, according to the officials.

The relatively limited scope of Israel’s strike and the muted response from Iranian officials, however, seem to have eased tensions.

It was confirmed that Israel had deployed aerial drones and at least one missile fired from a warplane, as stated by three Western and two Iranian officials.

Quick Glance: Biden signs Comprehensive Military Aid Package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan

President Biden announces the signing of a substantial $95 billion military assistance package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, with a significant portion of the funds directed towards Ukraine.

Despite initial resistance from Republicans in Congress, Biden has signed the aid package, highlighting the reinforcement of allies and ensuring prompt deliveries to Ukraine.

The assistance for Ukraine includes weapons and military equipment valued at around $1 billion, encompassing artillery shells and air defense missiles.

Military analysts do not foresee significant changes on the frontlines in eastern Ukraine, while the US support aims to aid Ukraine in operations in southern Ukraine, particularly focusing on Crimea and the Black Sea.
