Russian fuel and supply challenges in Ukraine cause Pentagon to consider at-sea delivery needs in potential US conflict with China. Russia’s struggles to supply its forces with fuel as it wages a war in Ukraine have caused the U.S. to reflect on the importance of ensuring it can deliver essential goods to its fleet should conflict erupt in the Indo-Pacific region, Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks said Monday.
Latest B-1 Bomber Task Force deployed to Guam hones coordination with allies. U.S. and Japanese pilots exchanged silent high fives from their respective cockpits during the 34th Expeditionary Bomb Squadron’s bomber task force mission to Guam.
RUSSIA THREAT
The battle of Donbas could prove decisive in Ukraine war. If Russia prevails in the battle of Donbas, it will mean that Ukraine loses not only land but perhaps the bulk of its most capable military forces.

Russia likely to seize control of eastern Ukrainian region within weeks, US official says. Volodymyr Zelensky said it was “too late” to persuade Moscow to end its invasion. China said it never gave Russia weapons in its war on Ukraine.
Russia is hammering Ukraine with up to 60,000 artillery shells and rockets every day. The Russians are using indiscriminate and overwhelming artillery strikes to grind Ukrainian defenders down, underscoring how the Russian military’s approach to firepower prizes volume over accuracy.
NORTH KOREA THREAT
Blinken says US is prepared to make adjustments to military posture in response to North Korea. The Biden administration is “prepared to make both short and longer-term adjustments to our military posture” to respond to provocations from North Korea, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Monday.
INTERNATIONAL SECURITY

US MILITARY AND SPACE
