US Leads Global Arms Sale Market Amid Russia-Ukraine War | WION Fineprint | World News

<p>Russia’s upper legislative house speaker, Valentina Matviyenko said on Monday (Dec. 2) that she is expecting Russia-Ukraine peace talks to resume next year, after US President-elect Donald Trump will take over the US administration.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I will express my purely personal opinion. I believe that the probability that there will be a real attempt to start such negotiations and meetings in 2025 is significantly higher than the probability that such attempts will not be made," Matviyenko &nbsp;said in an interview with pro-Kremlin newspaper Argumenty i Fakty.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“We must not and will not make the subject of negotiations any one-day half-measures, agreements of an unclear status, short-term freezes, and so on,” she added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Russia and Ukraine have not negotiated peace since the first months Russian troops invaded Ukraine in early 2022.</p>

Biden provisionally approves $680 million weapon package to Israel just day after Lebanon ceasefire: Report

<p>The US, which hasn't sent a single boot to the ground while propping up Ukraine with military aid, now wants Ukrainians as young as 18 to fight the war against Russia.</p>

<p>The Joe Biden administration is urging Ukraine to lower the minimum age for conscription for Ukrainians to 18, according to US media reports.</p>

<p>This is taking place even as the US is planning to send more arms to Ukraine, worth $725 million.</p>

<p>President Volodymir Zelenskyy is meanwhile going to raise taxes for Urkainians in order to improve funding for the war.</p>

<p>Citing a senior US official, the Associated Press news agency reported on Wednesday (Nov 27)&nbsp;that the request to lower the draft age is being made so that Ukraine can increase the size of its military.</p>

<p>The current conscription age for Ukraine is 25.</p>

<p>The age-lowering request is part of last-minute efforts for Ukraine before Biden leaves office in January 2025.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The new $725 million weapons package is another part of that effort, and will likely include land mines, drones, Stinger anti-air missiles, and Himars ammunition among other things, according to the AP report.</p>

<p>For context, the new military aid worth $725mn is far bigger than what Biden has so far spent using the PDA, or Presidential Drawdown Authority, for helping allies. A report in The Guardian noted that recent PDAs were between $125mn to $250mn.&nbsp;</p>

<p>So far, the US Congress had authorised up to $5 billion in PDA that Biden can use before Donald Trump takes over as president on 20 January, it noted.</p>

<p>Since the Russian operation started in 2022, the US has sent an estimated $56 bn in security aid to Russia.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Trump had vowed to end the war. This is being seen as a sign that the Republicans&nbsp;would stop giving military aid to Ukraine.</p>

<h2><strong>Why is Ukraine being asked to send 18-year-olds to war?</strong></h2>

<p>The AP report cited the official as saying that the ground situation 'pure math' shows Ukraine simply needs more troops on the ground, noting that Kyiv is not mobilising or training enough troops in place of soldiers it had lost.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Russia is growing its troop strength, in addition to taking help from North Korea, which reportedly sent some 10,000 troops to help Moscow in the Ukraine war.</p>

<p>The White House assessment is that Ukraine has the required weapons, but not enough soldiers, unless it dramatically increases troop levels.</p>

<p>US President Joe Biden announced a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hezbollah on Tuesday (Nov. 26), which came into effect early Wednesday morning.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The long-awaited deal came after months of conflict between the Lebanese militant group and the Jewish nation.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While announcing the deal, France and the US, who played the mediators, said in a joint statement that the ceasefire deal would end the fighting in Lebanon and secure Israel from the "threat of Hezbollah."&nbsp;</p>

<h2>A 'permanent' deal</h2>

<p>Joe Biden briefed the media while announcing the deal said that it is "designed to be a permanent ceasefire".</p>

<p>According to the ceasefire agreement, Hezbollah will remove its fighters and weapons from the area between the Blue Line over 60 days.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Blue Line is the demarcation line that divides Lebanon from Israel and the Golan Heights.</p>

<p>The agreement further says that Hezbollah fighters will be replaced by the Lebanese army forces in the area around the Blue Line.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Lebanese army&nbsp;will ensure the removal of Hezbollah weapons and its infrastructure from the area and will further prevent their rebuilding.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Meanwhile, over the same 60 days, Israel will remove its forces and civilians from the area.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Biden added that it would enable civilians from both sides to return home.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>5,000 Lebanese troops in southern parts</h2>

<p>The deal further asks for the deployment of 5,000 Lebanese army officials to the southern part of the nation.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, the Lebanese army has reportedly said it does not have the required resources, like money, manpower, and equipment, to execute what the agreement asks.&nbsp;</p>

<p>But many Western officials have said that at this point, Hezbollah has weakened, and that emerges as an opportunity for the Lebanese government to re-establish control in the territory, said a BBC report.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Monitoring of the implementation</h2>

<p>According to the report, the United States and France will join the existing tripartite mechanism, comprising UNIFIL, Lebanon, and Israel, which will be charged with monitoring violations.</p>

<p>"There will be no US combat troops in the area, but there will be military support for the Lebanese Armed Forces, as we've done in the past. But in this case, it'll be typically done with the Lebanese army and in conjunction with the French military as well," a US official told BBC.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Israel said 'will attack' if deal is violated by Hezbollah</h2>

<p>Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed after the deal was announced that his nation would respond to any violation by Hezbollah.</p>

<p>"If Hezbollah violates the agreement and tries to arm itself, we will attack. If it tries to rebuild terrorist infrastructure near the border, we will attack. If it launches a rocket, if it digs a tunnel, if it brings in a truck carrying rockets, we will attack,” Netanyahu said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The US showed full support to Israel as Biden responded to Netanyahu's statement, saying, "If Hezbollah or anyone else breaks the deal and poses a direct threat to Israel, then Israel retains the right to self-defence consistent with international law."</p>

<p>The Kremlin Tuesday (Nov. 26) condemned the West over the prospects of arming Ukraine with nuclear weapons. Dmitry Peskov, the official spokesperson for the Kremlin, was responding to a report by the New York Times which&nbsp;suggested that the Joe Biden administration of the US was contemplating providing nuclear weapons to Kyiv before the end of the term on January 20.</p>

<p>“Several officials even suggested that Mr. Biden could return nuclear weapons to Ukraine that were taken from it after the fall of the Soviet Union. That would be an instant and enormous deterrent. But such a step would be complicated and have serious implications," the Times wrote last week in a report.</p>

<p>While talking to reporters, Peskov said Tuesday it was an “absolutely irresponsible argument” of the Western officials to even think about such a possibility.</p>

<p>"These are absolutely irresponsible arguments of people who have a poor understanding of reality and who do not feel a shred of responsibility when making such statements. We also note that all of these statements are anonymous," Peskov said.</p>
