Radio Free Europe ^ | May 25, 2024

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has said Ukraine should be allowed to use Western-supplied weapons in strikes against military targets inside Russia. In an interview with The Economist published on May 24, the NATO head called on members to “consider whether they should lift” their current restrictions, saying they make it “very hard” for Ukraine to defend itself.

The Ukrainian forces are de facto NATO forces.

The latest world war has already started.

And Russia should return the favor. Every Ukrainian strike in Russia, as a result of this suggestion, should result in a Russian strike wherever NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg should be at the time.

“play such a dangerous game of proxy wars”

Whatever one’s opinion is on Ukraine your statement is undeniably true. Everyday the chances of a catastrophic miscalculation rises that could have unthinkable global consequences. No sane person wants that. This conflict needs to be defused before it spirals out of control.

Its not just a matter of peace. Its bordering on a matter of mass destruction and survivability. JMHO

You so full of crap. All you Zeepers do is lie, everything as much as Biden or any Democrat of leftist.

Stepan Bandera, a Nazi sympathizer, is considered Ukraine's modern-day founding father. There are more than 150 monuments and/or streets named after him in Ukraine.

In 2018, the Congress cutoff funding for the Azov battalion because of its neo-Nazi ties.

A little-noticed provision in the 2,232-page government spending bill passed last week bans U.S. arms from going to a controversial ultranationalist militia in Ukraine that has openly accepted neo-Nazis into its ranks.

House-passed spending bills for the past three years have included a ban on U.S. aid to Ukraine from going to the Azov Battalion, but the provision was stripped out before final passage each year.

This year, though, the $1.3 trillion omnibus spending bill signed into law last week stipulates that “none of the funds made available by this act may be used to provide arms, training or other assistance to the Azov Battalion.”

“White supremacy and neo-Nazism are unacceptable and have no place in our world,” Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), an outspoken critic of providing lethal aid to Ukraine, said in a statement to The Hill on Tuesday. “I am very pleased that the recently passed omnibus prevents the U.S. from providing arms and training assistance to the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion fighting in Ukraine.”

You're the one spreading propaganda and this is where lies come to die. Take your Deep State lies and shove them.

Ukraine needs to stop listening to NATO/U.S. They need to accept the reality that they’ve permanently lost some of theit territory and negotiate an end to this.
