  • Oleksandr Kozachenko
    Oleksandr Kozachenko “If we compare it with the beginning (of the Russian invasion), when we fired up to 100 shells a day, then now, when we fire 30 shells it's a luxury. Sometimes the number of shells fired daily is in single digits.” 12 hours ago

“Our commitment is ironclad to defending Israel and to helping Israel defend itself. As the president has said many times, we don't seek a wider war in the region. We don't seek a war with Iran.”

“Russia surprisingly stands with the rest of the international community in that it does not want an escalation following Iran's attack on Israel. This could impede Russian interests region. It could embroil Iran in a war that would mean that Iran would be hardly capable of sending more weapons to Russia, and of course, it could engulf Russian troops in Syria and Lebanon in a possible escalation of this conflict into a regional one. Among the Russian establishment are pro-Israeli elements who would not want to have a confrontation with Israel. Israel has not joined sanctions [against Russia], it's not dedicated as an enemy country, Israel is not supplying weapons or military technology to Ukraine, so Russia would want to keep this status quo.”

“President Biden is rallying the G7 who will issue a condemnatory statement of Iran along these lines. In the Global South the response will be more measured. There will be calls for restraint, de-escalation and diplomacy without directly blaming Iran or Israel. Arab and Muslim public opinion will note how many Arab states deployed military resources to protect Israel while doing the opposite in the context of the mass starvation and genocide in Gaza.”

“Prime Minister Netanyahu is the architect of the relationship with the United States, and he's the architect of his coalition government. He is manipulating both of them. As far as he's concerned, he's looking for his best options. I think he is already discussing and negotiating with President Biden about the price for not responding to Iran that some might expect or his ministers want. Now the price could be a number of things: one, more American support. More unconditionality of American support - definitely clearing criticism of Israel's indiscriminately bombing Gaza and so forth. Netanyahu will probably get more money, he will get more aid, he will get more American support.”

“We already know the war cabinet has not approved a response and the Americans had a big share in it, so it looks as if Israel won't respond for a while and we'll go back to our business in Gaza. Prime Minister Netanyahu still needs to resolve two things in Gaza: the release of captives and the Hamas battalions. I think Netanyahu might use this wave of support for Israel during the Iranian attack to go down to Rafah. But he cannot do it without fully coordinating with the Americans. This is the issue that is really bothering him, because without going back to Rafah he cannot describe the war as a victory.”

“Israel's military intercepted 99 percent of the aerial threats launched at it on Saturday. The Nevatim air force base in the Negev desert in southern Israel suffered only light damage and is functioning. Iran thought it would paralyze the base. It failed.”
