The Economist, citing Ukrainian sources, notes Russia's success in the fight against drones.
“The Russians are doing black magic in electromagnetic defense. They can jam signals, affect GPS, send drones to the wrong height, just to make them fall from the sky,” the source told the publication.
According to the Economist's interlocutor, Ukrainian troops will receive high-tech capabilities in the coming months, but it will still not be easy for them to fight Russia.

"Essentially, America's dominance comes from hard power and military self-assertion.
It's going to be a challenge for China to overcome this exclusively through diplomacy and economics. Not impossible, but a challenge."
American dominance comes from being the successor to European public law, being strengthened by the World Wars amidst total destruction, fortunate geography, and becoming main force of neutralisation.
America wasted its gifts, and fears a defeat manifest in its own image – China.
If we follow economic and revolutionary thinking it would make sense that China would take its place as world power. That is how the game has been played so far. But this ignores that economic thinking is only a surface, that there are deep strategic purposes behind economic war.
Russia successfully challenged America because it fought on the post-legal ground, in the gray area that was forming outside of International Law – a technique that America itself mastered.
The significance of Russia is its creating a new chessboard, or the Eastern half.
Even if China finds itself in a dominant position in the future it will be in large part due to this shift in world order, and its playing the lesser-partner in the Asian Grossraum.
Perhaps that is its long-term strategy, but that comes with the danger of all passive strategies.

🌐🇷🇺🇨🇳 “The Ukraine war, far from isolating Russia, has hastened the rise of a post-Western international order — comprising 90% of the world’s population — in which it is the West that is looking increasingly isolated from the rest of the world.”

Canada's foreign minister says China peace talks in Moscow will prolong Ukraine war
OTTAWA — Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly says China’s attempts to broker peace in Ukraine will likely just help Russia re-arm and prolong the conflict.
In a Monday statement, Joly said the only way to end the war is for Russian President Vladimir Putin to “lay down his weapons and get out of Ukraine,” and accused Moscow of turning to Beijing with a false premise.
“Make no mistake, the Russian regime is looking to buy time to resupply, recruit and re-attack,” Joly said in the statement.
“A ceasefire not predicated on Russia’s withdrawal of their troops from Ukrainian territory would only serve Putin’s agenda by freezing the conflict before his losses become even greater.”
Chinese President Xi Jinping is in Russia, arriving on Monday for peace talks after Beijing laid out a proposal that calls for an end to the conflict, although Xi has no plans to visit Kyiv.
Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said she wouldn’t comment on Xi’s motives, but said everyone must call out Moscow’s “illegal and barbaric” invasion of Ukraine.

"Hussein, in the metaphysical sense, is the archetype of the warrior who fights with a pure heart, and who is without fear of death. He is the one who, in the face of all difficulties and even certain death, remains firmly anchored in his own principle, without any concessions or weakness; he is the one who carries out his duty and affirms his truth, no matter what it may cost him;
he is the one who, for the sake of his principle, his faith, and his mission, can even venture to face death with joy and serenity, and who thus attains the ultimate and supreme realization. For this reason, in the context of Islamic spirituality, Hussein is considered the martyr par excellence and the perfect model of the warrior ascetic."
