Ukraine backtracks on promise to US.... despite assurances US weapons won’t be used to hit Russian territory.

Responding to a question about whether the restrictions on the use of US-supplied rocket systems apply to Crimea, a peninsula that overwhelmingly voted to become part of Russia in a 2014 referendum, 'Arestovich' (Zelnsky's Top Advisor) said that it belonged to Ukraine.

“Crimea is ours. It belongs to Ukraine. And they [Russia] know it. Therefore, it will fly to Crimea double-time, should the need arise”,

Arestovich’s comment comes despite US Secretary of State Antony Blinken saying on Wednesday that Kiev has given Washington “assurances” that it won’t use American rockets to attack targets in Russia.

I am sure they have already hit Crimea with their weapons. The question here are the consequences of using US weapons. I don’t think it’s a good idea for our stuff to be landing on the Rodina. As for the Ukies hitting Russia, why the hell not.

You can thank warmonger Newland as Bidens point gal for strongarming EU nation leaders to ride with Biden on this war. With Zelensky using the mic and his strongarm thugs as top advisors who want this war.

Newland is part of the leftist State Dept crew who thinks they can back-door some one-world global government thru entities such as NATO. Their meddling in other countries has only ever led to instability and destruction.

“As for the Ukies hitting Russia, why the hell not.”

Because Russia could declare War on Ukraine. Which it hasn’t done.

Russia really is carrying out a limited action, trying very hard not to kill civilians and destroy infrastructure. Despite what the FR Ukraine Mafia says, it is very true.

Russia stated upfront what their goals are, before they launched. And they’re sticking to them. It is NOT to destroy Ukraine or takeover the entire country.

Russia, by not declaring war, has not imposed a draft or sent in normal military units and equipment. They are using paid mercs mostly. Not regular troops. And they have serious capabilities if they go that route. Like 5 times as many fighters and equipment.

But Ukraine uses US missiles to hit targets inside Russia, don’t be surprised if Russia declares war on Ukraine, and goes all in on the eastern half.

We ain’t seen nothing yet. And personally, I don’t want to.

Crimea belongs to Ukraine, so they could attack there.
No backtracking.
Zelensky declared that all Ukraine lands should be returned to Ukraine, including Crimea and Donbas. Return to the borders of 2010.
From what I understand, it is no Zelensky, himself, but the overwhelming will of the people, which he cannot ignore.
After all that sufferings, people of Ukraine want to WIN!, not settle for some kind of negotiated peace to give Russia 20% of the territory.

Personally, I would like to see all Russian occupied military bases in Crimea, especially the naval station in Sevastopol absolutely leveled to the ground and turned to rubble.

Russia should learn that if they destroy cities, then they should expect some of their assets in areas they stole from Ukraine will also be leveled to the ground.

“.........Are they going to resort to blackmailing Biden and nation leaders to get what they want? From the beginning they’ve done a lot of complaining and every time we send more of more. When does it end? Or do they have a strangle hold on NATO now?.............”

You have to understand that Ukraine has lots and lots of dirt on both Hunter and Joe Bidden. Yes, they can blackmail him and probably have. Remember Joe bragging about getting fired the prosecutor going after his son Hunter? You remember how that just died a quite death? Well, I am sure that there are detailed reports on what happened on money laundering, and all kinds of corruption that the Biden family has been involved with in Ukraine.

Of course they have blackmailed Joe.

US policy is quite clear. Crimea is part of Ukraine. This is a Putinist gaslighting article that conveniently leaves out that fact. Regardless, Ukraine certainly didn’t need US weapons to send the flag ship Moskva to the bottom of the Black Sea.

Only if they disregard the referendum to go back under Russia as before.

Zelensky wants WORLD WAR. And he wants to drag the United States into it, period.

Yes he does and especially his Top Advisor - who BW ran aginst Zelensky for President. I suspect he anticipates he’ll be the next Pres. and why so much being said and done is by Alexey.

Read an interesting profile on Alexey......what a work of art he is and was given many nick names for his lying mouth. From where he’s worked to his history. More than once fired by bigger guys than him as he’s so radical.

There has only been clarification that Crimea and Sebastopol are not Russian territory.

And just how corrupt is the United States who happens to be involved in this?

Compare the US to Russia.

Never mind the money criminal activities that went on in The Ukraine.

Now prove to all of us that criminal financial activities never went on in The Ukraine.

Russia is so incredibly more corrupt than the USA at all levels, its9not even funny. It’s like comparing poverty in the USA vs Mali.

“Crimea is mostly Russian people’

Idiot, that’s after the Russian occupation when Crimean Tatars, Greeks and Ukrainians were replaced by Russians.

Furthermore, de jure Crimea is part of Ukraine, not Russia.

Or are you saying that because the majority of people in New Mexico and parts of Texas are Mexicans, you want to give those lands to Mexico
