New York or Niu-York[a] is a rural settlement in Bakhmut Raion, Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine.

Despite this, Russian forces were able to capture New York by the end of September.

The headlines get progressively more surreal.

As I said before, though, I think that Russia aiding Iran probably has more potential here from Ukraine’s standpoint.

Russia’s role in the war focused on intelligence sharing and logistical aid, avoiding direct combat to prevent straining its resources amid the Ukraine conflict. U.S. officials reported that Moscow supplied Iran with real-time data on American warships and aircraft, enabling more precise retaliatory strikes.[2] This assistance included satellite feeds from Russian assets, which helped Iran monitor U.S. movements in the Middle East.[3]

If Iran had, shortly thereafter, successfully dropped an anti-ship missile on a US carrier, I expect that that’d be excellent news for Ukraine.
