Ukraine said 13 people died and 10 were wounded when Russia fired rockets at Marhanets from the territory of a nuclear power plant it has captured in the Dnipropetrovsk region.
The attack, Mr Zelensky said, underlined the need for allies to supply more powerful weapons to the Ukrainian military.
“The more losses the occupiers suffer, the sooner we will be able to liberate our land and ensure the security of Ukraine,” he said.
“This is what everyone who defends our state and helps Ukraine should think about – how to inflict the greatest possible losses on the occupiers in order to shorten the war.”
Ben Wallace announced on Wednesday that Britain will double the number of long-range rocket launchers being sent to Ukraine, as he said that Kyiv’s forces were right to hit Russian targets in occupied Crimea.
It comes as new satellite images reveal the extensive damage to a Russian base in Crimea after it was targeted in a mysterious attack, appearing to be considerably worse than the Kremlin has publicly admitted.
“Ben Wallace announced on Wednesday that Britain will double the number of long-range rocket launchers being sent to Ukraine, as he said that Kyiv’s forces were right to hit Russian targets in occupied Crimea.”
Very good Ben. Then double it again and put our arms manufacturing industry on a war footing until the horror is over.
Furthermore Ben, you need to convince Liz that the British army numbers need to be restored at least to the levels of the Thatcher era.
She won’t need much persuading.
Thank God for the leadership and tenacity of our British brothers and sisters. THANK YOU! They see the threat and aren’t coming up with bullshit to dismiss it. They really are great people.
Ukraine did an excellent job at that air base, whichever way it did it. I hope more will come in the future. To do so, it needs the tools for it. I hope that either the West will finally wake up to this need or that, at least clandestinely, it already has.
Russia should be entirely depopulated. It should be transformed in one giant nature reserve.
