Ukraine expects tank deal will lead to West delivering long-range missiles capable of striking Russian supply lines as Zelensky begs for more heavy weaponry – but angry Kremlin brands increased UK, German and US aid to Kyiv 'extremely dangerous'
UK Daily Mail ^ | January 26, 2022 | David Averre and Mark Nicol

Ukrainian officials last night said they expect Western allies to provide their armed forces with long-range missiles after the UK, US, Germany and several other nations agreed to send battalions of tanks long-sought by Kyiv.

Presidential advisor Mikhailo Podolyak told The Daily Telegraph: 'Right now we are seeing a sharp change in sentiment among the political elites of European countries... we will reach, I am sure, no doubt, an agreement on long-range missiles.'

In a devastating blow to the Kremlin, nine countries joined Britain yesterday in agreeing to send tanks to destroy Russia's forces in eastern Ukraine. The coalition came together just 48 hours after Boris Johnson's rallying cry in the Daily Mail, imploring the UK's allies to end their dithering.

It’s easy because he’s got all Joe’s secrets to leverage.

>”Expects”

You are getting mad at the choice of words the journalist chose. I have noticed that they often do this inflammatory thing.

Even when the diplomats themselves have no arrogance in their pleas for help the journalist can choose to add these arrogant phrases themselves because it creates “engagement”.

“Ukrainians pleading for help” doesn’t create as much.

The Ukrainians want ATACMS in order to isolate the battlefield at Zaporizhzhia/Kherson/Crimea.

To finish off the Crimea bridge for one thing. And to break a few other bridges in the region. HIMARS can reach most of them, but they lack the blast effect.

This is a very logical ask, given their war aims.

Don’t understand why we can see this at FR, but it is lost on the big conservative media.

What people like you ignore is that Hunter Biden’s sinecure of $40k a month was paid by a guy in PUTIN’S TEAM.

Did you not know that?

I see Eye-Patch McCain in the center of that photo.

I am wondering what is to stop Putin and the KGB from funding sleeper cells in the US, and have them go out and covertly start pulling the plug of a bunch of neocons that are pushing WW3? The same way that a ‘journalist’ in England suddenly dropped dead (Sasha Litvinenko).

A nation being invaded, massacred and subjected to a totalitarian rule seeking to wipe them out and torture those resisting to scare the others kindly asks for a little help.

I don’t get offended by their plea.

so you’re saying Russia is so malicious that it would carry out peace-time sabotage in other countries?

One wonders why that the USA, the UK, and Germany giving tanks to Ukraine is bad when Russia has already provided Ukraine with more tanks than the others combined?

So Russia is ruthless. Nothing new here. Zelensky is also a ruthless dictator. If the US cannot see that there are no good guys in this war, they are either on the take or hopelessly stupid. Either way they should be impeached.

That’s not new. He was asking for air support from the start.

This is key. Communists fighting Nazis. There is no “good guy” in this conflict.
