radiosvoboda.org (Ukrainian)

Retired US Rear Admiral Mark Montgomery says the United States underestimates military cooperation between Iran, Russia, North Korea, and China, and fails to fully use Ukraine's experience in countering this alliance. Montgomery, co-author of the book "Axis of Aggressors," detailed how Iran supplies drones and technology, North Korea provides troops and millions of artillery shells, and China offers microelectronics for missiles. He criticized both the Biden and Trump administrations for slow or reduced weapons deliveries to Ukraine. The admiral noted the US has minimal military presence in Ukraine to learn battlefield lessons, while Russia shares its experience with its partners. Ukraine currently receives US intelligence and Starlink, but purchases American weapons through the European-funded PURL program.
