President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on X on Sunday that his nation is facing sustained "Russian aerial terror." The past week, he said, has seen Russia use "more than 500 guided aerial bombs, nearly 660 strike drones and approximately 120 missiles of various types against us."

European Council President Antonio Costa and chief diplomat Kaja Kallas arrived in Kyiv Sunday to underscore the bloc's support for Ukraine. Ukraine's need for more Western air defense systems was among the topics discussed, Zelenskyy said later.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz likewise arrived in the Ukrainian capital on Monday morning. His visit is the first to the country for two-and-a-half years and is expected to include an announcement of a major new military aid package for Kyiv worth some $680 million.

Something about this doesn’t sit right. Nothing worse than politicians being where they shouldn’t be.

I’m thinking like Pelosi and Taiwain. Arrogant people walking around as if their position offers them protection in a war zone.

Judging by the numbers of drones and missiles hitting the Ukraine it looks like Russia is manufacturing weapons at and industrial scale. Doesn’t bode well for the Eurotrash.

Most of them are unelected bureaucrats anyway.

Actually, I believe ALL politicians (”leaders”) should be in war zones...and on the front...fighting. Their extended families should also go there and fight. This might limit the number of wars we have. It also might make these people who seem to like others dying for them to reconsider making wars.

Okay, Mr. Putin. Today you can solve many problems with one hit.

You know, one of them new Oreshnik rockets in the middle of Keiv could be just the trick.

Send a text to Netanyahu, and he can tell you exactly how its done after taking out leader after leader.
