Some news from the Kingdom of the Netherlands:
The total value of Dutch military support to Ukraine now stands at
€1.6 billion. Minister Kajsa Ollongren writes to the House of Representatives that since the last update (about a month ago), the government has donated defense systems, ammunition (small caliber), night vision equipment, trucks and logistics equipment such as cranes and shovels.
Ollongren also said
the Netherlands wants to start training Ukrainian pilots to fly F-16s as soon as possible, as US President Joe Biden authorized such training last week. The Netherlands is cooperating with Denmark, Belgium and the UK in training pilots.

Wagner chief Prigozhin says 20,000 members of his mercenary army were killed in the Battle of Bakhmut.
That's far more than the total number of Russian soldiers killed in the war in Ukraine, according to the Kremlin. The figure stands at 6,000.

After more than a year of war, the American public's support for policy toward Ukraine has declined slightly. Half of Americans support arms supplies to Ukraine, involving tens of billions of dollars. A quarter oppose the arms supplies, and the rest have no opinion.
In the April poll, a majority of Democratic and Republican voters disapprove of Russia's attack on Ukraine. While support for sanctions against Russia has dropped significantly, there is still a majority in favor of them. "There is no fatigue with Ukraine," an analyst for the Rand Corp. told the AP news agency.
62 percent of Americans see Russia as the biggest enemy of the US. 50 percent of Americans think positively about the Russian people, 17 percent think negatively.

A few facts not fully verified from the last days....
The most important SAMP/T is in the UA
The long-awaited cutting-edge European OPL system has arrived, contrary to the article by the number of people operating it is possible to determine what came to war, from the new orders of missiles Aster 30(ordered for 2 billion Euro 700pcs 2.8million Euro new generation missile) also shows that the missiles for the system are quite a lot cheaper than in the system in Patriot which does not mean more available, this is due to the modular design and the amount of materials used for the missile and the warhead with a weight of only 15kg the whole missile weighs 450kg.... (for example, some of the missiles for the S300 have a weight of 2 tons each).... Missile parameters and capabilities range of 150km,(rather 100km) ceiling of 20km, missiles are very fast 4.5Ma and can also fight ballistics, more fully described in the link.... Trained in service 20 people rally so unequivocally there will be two fire units composition below MLT(TEL) 6 pcs. which means 2 additional fire engines (2 people service) according to the Italian completion that is 48 rockets on the launcher. The Arabel radar is a 3D phased array radar 360-degree coverage, 3D, instrumental range of 100 km, can track up to 100 targets and homing in the final phase of 16 at the same time, which means with a programmed delay in the launch of rockets in practice homing all 48pcs from the launcher.... As you can see, in contrast to the small German Iris batteries, here we have at once a huge and efficient OPL system.(The same radar is on a certain well-known aircraft carrier )
Interesting fact UA bought(got) from the French two more similar class Ground Master 200 (GM200) radars (not sure if delivered and integrated but they are flexible systems) detection 250km , guidance 100km, so it is possible that they will make their own battery configuration and split it quite into 3 separate 2 firing units each (as in Iris-T SLM) which would make some sense and increase the ability to operate in a much larger area, which with the low intensity of rus raids from different directions may be advisable. As you can see, there is also speculation about some kind of upgrade of the system's capabilities in some kind of NG electronic and radar equipment...(bottom source)
Ground Master 200 (GM200)
Of other curiosities, we are getting closer to the Iris-T SLS system (launchers donated from Sweden), we will see what the Germans will put it on, it is so interesting that I foresee completing it in 3-4 batteries (3-4 launchers each) incorporated directly into the units that will counterattack, it is such a better multi-channel replacement for the Wasp. (at least that is how I see it, and it will be possible to compare more how and on what carrier it will appear, in Sweden they were on Bv 206)
