Ukraine's allies on October 12 announced the delivery of new air defenses and committed more military aid to Kyiv to protect against Russia's "indiscriminate" missile attacks across the country.

Russia has launched waves of missile strikes on several regions of Ukraine for two days in a row, bombing multiple cities, including Kyiv, as reprisals for a blast at the weekend that damaged the only bridge between Moscow-annexed Crimea and mainland Russia.

Pledges from allies included an announcement by France that it would deliver radar and air-defense systems to Ukraine in the coming weeks. Canada said it would provide artillery rounds and winter clothing among other supplies.

Let Macron lead this and we’ll definitely get a World War. He doesn’t exactly project strength. Macron’s comments in the last 24 hours sounded like he was green lighting Putin’s use of a nuclear weapon.

Fortunately I’m sure Putin understands that Macron speaks for Macron and nobody else.

And France was on the list of countries sending more stuff to Ukaine in response to the missile attacks.

Right, Putin tried to take Kyiv because of all the 'atrocities and genocide against Russian civilians' in Kyiv. Ridiculous. In the meantime Russian separatist leader calls for re-education and if not then the extermination of Ukrainians.

One of the leaders of the so-called Donetsk People's Republic, Pavel Gubarev, described "an image of Russia's enemy" - the people of Ukraine, who needed to be re-educated or if not then exterminated.

"Keep calm Ukrainians, and keep dying.

Better for Ukrainians to die fighting for independence, then to be re-educated and if not then exterminated by Russia.

Former Russian separatist leader Pavel Gubare: these people(Ukrainians) are possessed by the devil and need to be re-educated or exterminated.

We aren't coming to kill you, but to convince you. But if you don't want to be convinced, we'll kill you. We'll kill as many as we have to: 1 million, 5 million, or exterminate all of you."

“Macron has become a Putanista. We welcome him.”

Well, we know what “Puta” means; and I can only assume “nista” is some colloquial variant of “nuestra.”

“One of the leaders of the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic, Pavel Gubarev, described “an image of Russia’s enemy” - the people of Ukraine, who needed to be re-educated or if not then exterminated.”

That’s why the pro-Russia FReepers here on FR are so aligned with Russia: They are really totalitarian marxists at heart.

As much as I want to help Ukraine, I wouldn't want to put the latest tech in Ukraine without direct US supevision.

That's what the Russians said. It was mainly because of Russian losses in a couple of important strategic areas on the front line.
