Quick Glance: Aid for Ukraine: Utilizing UK's Military Resources
- There is a substantial amount of military aid in the British arsenal that, if utilized, could have a significant impact on resolving the crisis. These stocks have been verified through parliamentary disclosures in response to inquiries from Labour MPs.
- Since the onset of Russia's invasion, the Ministry of Defence has disposed of over 1,000 unwanted military vehicles, including armored vehicles, reconnaissance vehicles, and support vehicles.
- Labour MP Clive Lewis urged the government to send retired equipment to Ukraine and to coordinate an urgent increase in assistance to empower Ukrainians to liberate their entire country. This plea was endorsed by the Confederation of Free Trade Unions of Ukraine.
- The inquiries posed by Lewis and McDonnell expose a concerning pattern and a restrictive approach to the conflict, negatively impacting Ukrainian soldiers on the frontlines and putting us all at risk.

Quick Glance: Siberian Battalion: Fighting for Ukraine's Independence
- The newly-formed 'Siberian Battalion' is made up of Russians who have come to fight against their fellow citizens.
- Before the Siberian Battalion, two other units of Russians had already been created in the ranks of the AFU: the 'Freedom of Russia' legion and the 'Russian Volunteer Corps'.
- Siberian Battalion is the third, but unlike the first two, the new one is not part of the territorial defence, but is part of the regular Ukrainian army.
- Ukraine's Siberian Battalion is also distinguished by its anti-colonial discourse, with ethnic Tatars, Yakuts, Buryats, and representatives of other peoples joining the Ukrainian army to fight for 'self-determination of the peoples of Russia' and achieve independence from Moscow.
