Ukraine has started receiving Harpoon anti-ship missiles from Denmark and self-propelled howitzers from the United States, Ukrainian Defence Minister Oleksiy Reznikov said on Saturday, saying the arms would bolster forces fighting Russia's invasion.

"The coastal defence of our country will not only be strengthened by Harpoon missiles – they will be used by trained Ukrainian teams," Reznikov wrote on his Facebook page.

Self-propelled howitzers delivered from US. Previously towed ones.

Time to sink some more RuZZian ships, too.

“Reznikov said Ukraine had also received a range of heavy artillery pieces, including modified U.S.-made M109 self-propelled howitzers that will allow the Ukrainian military to strike targets from longer distances.”

“Putin claims Russia ready to renew peace talks, repeats demand for sanctions relief.

Russian dictator Vladimir Putin held a phone call with French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on May 28.”

I thought RuZZia was surviving the sanctions without a care in the world. The RuZZian trolls here tell me so. Hmm, Maybe not.

You’ve been played by the media. You want WW3? Because this is how you get WW3. This whole thing could’ve been prevented.

“Putin extends age limit for joining Russian military.

Under the new law, signed by Russian dictator Vladimir Putin on May 28, Russians under 50 are entitled to sign their first contract for military service. Prior to that, the age limit was under 40.”

Next will be extending the age limit to 70.

Maybe it could have been prevented. But the reality is Russia is about to seize sovereign territory by armed force for the first time in decades. Just letting it happen is a recipe for a greater disaster down the road.

I heard someone suggesting that peace talks be held between Putin and the United States without the “distraction” of having Ukraine in the room. Reminds me of the talks over what to do with the Czechoslovakia situation with Hitler where the Checks were not invited.

As I’ve said from the beginning. Anyone can start a war, but the other side has to agree to finish it.

That is the bottom line. Yes, Ukraine is corrupt. And yes, Putin had some legitimate security concerns. But when he ordered his army to cross an international border everything else became trivial in comparison.

It amazes me how some people try to minimize that act of aggression.

Now, how should the West respond? That is an entirely separate question where good people can disagree. But to defend the invasion itself, I just don’t get that.

Yes, but only if Trump was President. This administration didn’t have the balls.

“money laundering”, “corruption”... bores me to death.

Little Pukin is the richest man in the world because he stole so much from the RuZZian people.

Get real.

There could be a few Russians among the Ukrainian refugees.

“In 1908, Sergei Khrushchev moved to the Donbas city of Yuzovka (now Donetsk, Ukraine); fourteen-year-old Nikita followed later that year, while Ksenia Khrushcheva and her daughter came after. Yuzovka, which was renamed Stalino in 1924 and Donetsk in 1961, was at the heart of one of the most industrialized areas of the Russian Empire.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikita_Khrushchev

“Occupation of Polish territory....A large number of ethnic Ukrainians lived in the invaded area, much of which today forms the western portion of Ukraine. Many inhabitants therefore initially welcomed the invasion, though they hoped that they would eventually become independent. Khrushchev’s role was to ensure that the occupied areas voted for union with the USSR. Through a combination of propaganda, deception as to what was being voted for, and outright fraud, the Soviets ensured that the assemblies elected in the new territories would unanimously petition for union with the USSR. When the new assemblies did so, their petitions were granted by the USSR Supreme Soviet, and Western Ukraine became a part of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (Ukrainian SSR) on 1 November 1939.”

So, for that, you’re supporting child molesters and criminals here at home. Got it. You’re a democrat.

“He enjoys 20 palaces, four yachts, 58 aircraft....”

Queen Elizabeth I traveled around Britain and enjoyed great hospitality at various great country houses she did not own. Some great British houses have an ‘E’ shape. Others have an ‘H’ shape.

Bill Clinton might have enjoyed Epstein’s hospitality, but Epstein’s Caribbean island and the plane Ghiselle Maxwell piloted were not Bill’s.

It is Russia that is doing the destroying. Ukraine has every right to defend itself and expel the invaders.

Tibet was seized before I was born. Russia is executing a string of invasions RIGHT NOW.

So in your view a country is required to endure any sort of outrage perpetrated by the corrupt neocon globalists rather than start a war? Funny for the US to be preaching this line.
