Daily on Defense 🇺🇸 • NATO military leaders meet • Putin mocked by commander of mercenary forces in Ukraine
‘OUR ARMY IS RUNNING’: The latest episode of Yevgeny Prigozhin’s social media feud with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s military commanders finds the Wagner Group boss complaining bitterly that while Putin was speaking about"Russian greatness" at yesterday’s Victory Day parade in Moscow, Russian troops were fleeing in Bakhmut.
“Prigozhin then rhetorically asked what Russia and future generations should do and how Russia can win if the ‘grandfather’ turns out to be a ‘complete asshole.’ Prigozhin also noted that unnamed figures should stop showing off on Red Square.” “Despite heavy losses in Ukraine, Russia could have fielded more armored vehicles,” the assessment continued, speculating that “authorities likely refrained from doing so because they want to avoid domestic criticism about prioritizing parades over combat operations.”Good Wednesday morning and welcome to Jamie McIntyre’s Daily on Defense, written and compiled by Washington Examiner National Security Senior Writer Jamie McIntyre and edited by Stacey Dec.

“What we've seen over and over again is that the Ukrainians, both politically and militarily, have learnt quickly, have been relentlessly focused on using the support that we give them effectively, and have consistently outperformed expectations, certainly the expectations of Vladimir Putin,” Cleverly said at a joint appearance with Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
“I'm confirming a U.S. Patriot system is in Ukraine,” said Ryder, “but in terms of which specific battery they employed, whether it was a U.S.-provided, Dutch-provided, I'd refer you to the Ukrainians.” Washington Examiner: Pentagon confirms Ukraine used Patriot system to down Russian hypersonic missileWashington Examiner: Defense Department unveils science and technology strategy to combat adversariesWashington Examiner: Biden traveling to Papua New Guinea as administration courts allies against China
