The U.S. has said for months that lifting the restrictions won’t make a strategic difference in the war as Russia has moved its most important targets, including aircraft, back from the border and out of reach.
===
This is bullshit, if it is true then it's only true because you took too long to lift the restrictions and if it is true then there's no harm in lifting the restriction. How about trusting Ukraine knows what is best for the war it is fighting?

"Whenever someone speaks... about a diplomatic solution, I always support it. We all want none of our soldiers, none of our people to be killed tomorrow. We want this. But you can't negotiate with a maniac [like]: 'Listen, sit down. Yes, we understand that you have already killed 30 people, in particular. But let's talk. Don't do it again'? It doesn't work like that. It doesn't work with this man [Vladimir Putin]," Zelensky said.
We stand for diplomacy, but not at the cost of 30 percent of territory - Zelensky (ukrinform.net)
China called on Tuesday for more countries to endorse its peace plan for Ukraine, after a round of diplomacy with Indonesia, Brazil and South Africa to support its plan.
Envoy Li Hui called the three countries representative of the Global South and "important forces in promoting world peace" who share similar positions with China. "They have maintained communication with both Russia and Ukraine and stay committed to a political settlement to the crisis through dialogue and negotiation," said Li, China's special envoy for Eurasian affairs.

As a Finn, I know what it feels like to be part of a nation that is several generations into the healing process after an unjust aggression that was successfully averted but not without massive consequences. That’s why it’s killing me what we are doing to Ukrainians. A thread:

Finns were tactically & strategically totally superior to the Soviet army and inflicted incredible losses on the invader. But when the Soviets managed to shift the fight to an attritional frontline, Finland couldn’t sustain the fight due to much less manpower. Sounds familiar ?
— Minna Ålander 🌻 (@minna_alander) August 27, 2024
The result was an attempt to take back the lost territories (and maybe more), which obviously wasn’t a great idea - revisionism seldom is, even if there’s a just cause. Four more years of war resulted. Sounds potentially familiar ?

The intergenerational trauma that still exists in Finland if you just scratch the surface struck me forcefully in the beginning of Russia’s full-scale war. I really hoped that Ukraine wouldn’t have to go through the same. I still hope so. It’s not too late yet.

Russians are saying now that in the Kursk region, military vehicles are also getting speeding tickets on highways. One unfortunate guy ended up in jail for 15 days for covering his registration plate to avoid the penalty. https://t.co/AAlVGuElYS pic.twitter.com/bjQLyZ1u6C

Interesting leak from Russian investigative outlet. Telegram co-founder Durov made repeated visits to Russia in recent years — despite supposed disagreements with Kremlin — and was even apparently there when the FSB was suing him. https://t.co/z6qXxjRfkz

The US military, along with Norwegian and Danish engineers, upgraded the electronic warfare systems on the F-16 fighters being transferred to Ukraine. These systems were reprogrammed to effectively counter Russian threats.https://t.co/Gm5BK8hic0

Ukraine is still advancing in Kursk, btw. Just because you don’t see it in news doesn’t mean it isn’t happening.

Ukraine's Sapsan SRBM is one of three primary missile projects that 🇺🇦 is working on. The other two are the Neptune ASCM (in production) and the Korshun LACM (in development).
— Fabian Hoffmann (@FRHoffmann1) August 27, 2024
Hrim-2 is a shorter-range variant intended for export and is largely identical with the Sapsan.

Sapsan reportedly has a payload capacity of 480 kg. The tapered warhead seen in the picture of the Hrim-2 is well-suited for a penetrator warhead, providing the missile with significant hard-target kill capability — something currently lacking in Ukraine's missile arsenal.

The successful test is good news, but we shouldn't read too much into it. The Sapsan SRBM is likely still several months if not years away from reaching initial operational capability.

By the end of the day, some Russian sources have reported that Ukrainian forces managed to break trough several parts of the Belgorod border and have entrenched. Those that initially reported the attacks, are now very silent. We will have to wait for more info for confirmation.
