Vladimir Putin agrees to supply Belarus with modern weapons amid invasion fears

The Telegraph  

Ukraine's stiff resistance against Russia's invasion could be a model for Taiwan to defend itself. writes The Telegraph's Asia correspondent Nicola Smith Ukraine’s strong resistance against the Russian invasion could be a model for Taiwan to learn from if China decides to violate its “sovereignty” in an attack, a senior US defence official has told a Senate hearing. It has long advocated for Taipei to focus on “asymmetric” capabilities of small, portable and survivable weaponry that could inflict maximum damage on a larger invading force. 'I think the situation we're seeing in Ukraine right now is a very worthwhile case study for them about why Taiwan needs to do all it can to build asymmetric capabilities, to get its population ready, so that it can be as prickly as possible should China choose to violate its sovereignty,' Mara Karlin, Assistant Secretary of Defence for Strategy, Plans and Capabilities, said. China has largely backed Russia in invading Ukraine, a conflict that has parallels in Beijing's approach to Taiwan, while the government in Taipei has shown overwhelming support for Kyiv.
