Russian terrorists launched missiles into the center of Chernihiv, killing at least 11 and injuring at least 22 people as of now. The toll may still rise.
These innocent people would not have been killed or injured if Ukraine had sufficient air defense capabilities.
Three days ago in the Middle East, we saw what reliable protection of human lives from missiles looks like.
Ukraine’s partners have the necessary means to help us save Ukrainian lives with the same level of efficiency. We are grateful to Germany for already taking the important decision to provide Ukraine with an additional “Patriot” battery.
Building on @ZelenskyyUa’s recent contacts, I will urge other partners to follow suit during my meetings with G7 allies in Italy this week.
Whenever the putinaZis commit a demonic terror atrocity like this, pundits will say :
“Why are they doing this? There is no military rationale for it.”
That is because they fail to understand what Ukrainians DO understand:
Russia is evil. Russian military doctrine is to murder civilians and destroy civilian infrastructure. Like they did in Chechnya, Syria and Georgia. They want to create a sense of hopelessness and despondency in the victims. Because it works.
That is why Russia must be hit HARD and Ukraine must be FULLY liberated from Russian evil.
The putler-rimmers like MTG et al must be prosecuted for repeated lying and functioning as accessories to genocide.
13 dead, 60 wounded. No support from America any more.
If the West wants to continue walling itself in its paranoia of escalation, let it at least provide defense systems! give Patriot system now!
“We are grateful to Germany for already taking the important decision to provide Ukraine with an additional “Patriot” battery.”
I see this as not simply kind words of gratitude, but a call for others to follow suit. Indeed, with 100 Patriot systems deployed worldwide, and probably huge arsenals of missiles, it should be possible for Nato-countries to gather at least half a dozen batteries for Ukraine, and some hundreds of missiles, on short notice. In the longer run, license production of the system in Europe is urgently necessary, because it’s irresponsible to rely only on the US for the supply of such an essential air defence weapon. 🤨
This is the answer for Ukraine destroying military targets in Crimea. I hope the bastards holding up aid are proud of their disgusting behaviour.
