RUSSIAN FORCES STALLED, PINNED DOWN: Russian forces got as far as the east side of Bakhmut before things started to fall apart, according to the weekend analysis from the Washington-based Institute for the Study of War.
The think-tank, which offers daily updates on the progress of the war, said Saturday that while heavy fighting continues in the eastern Ukrainian town, Wagner Group mercenaries “are likely becoming increasingly pinned in urban areas,” and are “finding it difficult to make significant advances.”
The tensions between Prigozhin and the Russian Defense Ministry “likely reached a boiling point over Bakhmut,” the ISW said while outlining an extensive timeline of the deterioration in relations between the mercenary group and the MoD. Ukraine claims that it has been able to kill or grievously wound seven Russian troops for every loss of a single Ukrainian soldier.

SUNAK: ‘BRITAIN IS BACK’: The British government announced today it plans to increase its defense budget by about $6 billion over the next two years, mainly to replenish ammunition stocks depleted by its contributions to the Ukraine war effort. In addition, the U.K. pledged to raise its defense spending to 2.5% of GDP “in the longer term.”
The Biden administration will be asking for a whopping $170 billion to replace not only munitions supplied to Ukraine but also a range of missiles and other weapons that the U.S. would need were it ever to get into a shooting war with China, according to an internal budget document obtained by Bloomberg.
1:40 p.m. — AIR FORCE: Kristyn Jones, performing the duties of undersecretary, and Deputy Assistant Secretary for Budget Maj. Gen. Mike Greiner “This budget talks more about equality and climate change than it does dealing with China, dealing with fentanyl, dealing with putting our work force back in the workplace,” McCarthy said. “That is a real challenge. To be delayed by this president more than a month to release his budget, and to have a nonserious budget, and for a president not to show the leadership to sit down and solve this problem early only weakens America.
