Zelensky pushes US to speed arms shipments, greenlight deeper strikes into Russia
The Hill ^ | 09/26/24 11:50 AM ET | by Al Weaver and Alexander Bolton

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told a bipartisan group of senators Thursday that he could bring Russia to the negotiating table next year if the Biden administration speeds up shipments of weapons to Ukraine and greenlights missile strikes deeper into Russia.

In a closed-door meeting that lasted about 90 minutes, Zelensky told senators that he needs more F-16 fighter jets and long-range missiles with capability to strike more than 100 miles into Russia, promising that Russian President Vladimir Putin would negotiate a peace deal if his own country faces a greater military threat.

“He’s saying that within the [military aid] package that we’ve already provided that if he can get the right things that he believes he can force Putin to the table next year and start to negotiate peace. I think that’s the real upshot,” Sen. John Hoeven (R-N.D.) said.

The GOP senator said Zelensky is asking for “more F-16s, more long-range missiles, [and] permission to strike to where Russia is launching from all these attacks on Ukraine,” he said.

How long before the pieces of crap on this forum begin to seep into this thread?

There are at least three who have made this their life’s purpose, but...I guess it must be a few hours still before they wake up and begin posting.

We have little left to send or we won’t be able to defend ourselves. Europe has even less. Ukraine needs 300,000 young, trained foot soldiers and it’s not going to get those either.
Ukraine continues its long, horrible suicide.

Part of the Scam.

They told the American people that these were Loans, then they wrote into the legislation that Joe Biden can forgive these “Loans” safely after the Election and in the lame duck period.

They also voted against an auditor that would track the money.

It’s all up to the USA. So far, we are losing, and we are running out of everything but kids to send to their deaths. Maybe that’s next.

The President-for-Life of Ukraine will get his war. It is the best way to stop Trump. Be ready America for the “Lusitania Moment,” now in the planning stages. Once it happens, in hours we will be at war, a war between NATO and The Russian Federation, that will spiral out of control into WW III. Axis vs West. Goal is to get into war, shatter Russia, Get Kamala elected with war powers, stop Trump (painted as pro-Putin and a treasonous SOB.) Once elected, seek peace with a Putinless Russia, brokered by the UN—an eight week war with no nukes (or very few). BRICKS is smashed, Democrats rule for 100 years. What could possibly go wrong? Isn’t America the most powerful nation on earth?

Why should we have to greenlight anything? We should be selling them arms to do with as they wish.
