Just a reminder of how long it took Ukraine to receive weapons:

First howitzer cannons? In 3 months.
First HIMARS? In 4 months.
First Western tanks? In 1 year (American ones in 1.5 years, with just 30 of them).
First Patriot defense system? In 1 year and 2 months.
First ATACMS? In 1.5 years.
First F-16s? In 2.5 years.
Permission to strike russian territory with Western rockets? Just days ago, after 2 years and 8 months.

If weapons had been provided to Ukraine faster and in the right quantities, russia would already have been defeated. But the West first needed to see enough Ukrainians sacrificed: Bucha, Mariupol, Bakhmut, Avdiivka. Thousands of civilians and children. Only after this sacrifice was “accepted” did the West begin giving Ukraine weapons.

How many more Ukrainians must die before the West provides Ukraine with everything it needs to win this war? How many human lives must be put on the altar before moving to the next level?

Ukraine is fighting pure evil. If this evil empire is not stopped now, it will continue its expansion. Allowing russia to keep even a small part of Ukraine will signal to other dictators that aggression works.

The only way to end this evil is to give Ukraine everything it needs now. Stop playing catch-up at the cost of Ukrainian lives.

…………..

The UK has supplied Ukraine with additional long-range Storm Shadow missiles.

The exact number and delivery date remain undisclosed. However, the transfer occurred before the US and the UK authorized Ukraine to use long-range missiles on targets within Russia.

This new batch of Storm Shadows marks the first delivery under Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who assumed office in July. The missiles were ordered after reports suggested that Ukraine had run out of long-range missiles.

…………..

The North Korean Army is starting to take serious losses in battle against the Ukrainian Army. A recent report indicates that about 500 North Korean soldiers were “killed by British Storm Shadow missiles in devastating attack.”

………………..

Good move! FIFA and UEFA have decided to maintain russia’s suspension from all international competitions, meaning the russian national team is excluded from the 2026 World Cup.

Now, we need all sports organizations to do the same.

“The shooting lists were supposed to include teachers of the Ukrainian language, literature, history, veterans, journalists, scientists, writers, priests of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and other confessions who supported Ukraine, as well as public and political figures, heads of state and local government bodies,” said Kyrylo Budanov, the head of Ukraine’s Military Intelligence Directorate.

According to Budanov, before the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russian occupiers were also briefed on where to place mass graves.

This is the reality that awaits Ukrainians if the war is lost, if Ukraine is occupied. Such repressions are already happening on Ukrainian lands held by Russia. That is why any peace agreement that has Ukraine cede its territories to Russia, or that would not provide sufficient security guarantees and deterrents in case of another invasion would open Ukraine up to Russian terror like this.
