Russia warns West of weapons repercussions, pounds Ukraine

Britain pledged Thursday to send sophisticated medium-range rocket systems to Ukraine, joining the United States and Germany in equipping the embattled nation with advanced weapons for shooting down aircraft and knocking out artillery.

Western arms have been critical to Ukraine’s success in stymieing Russia’s much larger and better-equipped military during a war now in its 99th day. But as Russian forces closed in on a key city in recent days, the Ukrainian government said its fighters needed better rocket launchers to prevail.

A Kremlin spokesman again warned of “absolutely undesirable and rather unpleasant scenarios” if the latest Western-supplied weapons were fired into Russia.

“This pumping of Ukraine with weapons … will bring more suffering to Ukraine, which is merely a tool in the hands of those countries that supply it with weapons,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

If Ukraine DOES NOT use these weapons to strike inside Russia, the leadership will be criminally negligent.

It's their ticket to NATO rescue.

You want NATO to rescue the Ukraine?

“You want NATO to rescue the Ukraine?”

Absolutely not.

But Ukraine would be negligent to not take advantage of this irresponsible gift.

We can use these weapons at the Texas border to stop the invasion of headhunters and cannibals.

“If Ukraine DOES NOT use these weapons to strike inside Russia, the leadership will be criminally negligent.”

If sites on Russian territory are attacking Ukraine then those sites would be legitimate targets for Ukraine, and thus fair game; and Ukraine would be fully justified in doing so. But attacking a non-offensive site inside Russia — while justified because this is a war — would take a bit of explaining.

Just sayin’.

If Ukraine does use these weapons to hit something inside Russia, Russia will hit “command centers” — which are not in the Ukraine, of course.

This was clearly said.

We can only guess where the command centers are. Washington, London, Brussels?

In other words, Brandon just enabled Zel to start open WWIII.

Nice of him.

Initially Poland would be a good guess. That in itself would be a significant escalation.

Nobody is going to nuke a thing. Half of these weapons are never reaching beyond Poland where they are getting sold to the highest bidder. Of the rest, most is getting catured or bought by the Russians. Expect a big airliner brought down in Western country for the politicians to have a second guess.

#1. Ukraine is getting the GPS guided GMLRS rockets, not the longer ranged TACMS missiles. The primary targets of the HIMARS and GMLRS are Russian artillery. The news reporting until now has neglected to mention how effective Russian artillery is until now - I wonder why that is? Russia State Television is calling this a “red line”. The Russian military knows how well the first generation MLRS worked during the first Gulf War in the 1990s, and how it has improved. Pretty soon, Russian artillery will have losses like their armored vehicles.

Our military successfully discovered and hit warehouses with American M777 “Ax” howitzers and shells for them. Protected both themselves and civilians from this 155 mm weapon!🔥🔥🔥


Quite a picture at this site. 12 m777 brand new howitzers all neatly lined up at a storage facility in the first picture and then the in the picture next to it all 12 destroyed.

Maybe use these missiles to attack the Mexican Drug Cartels like Trump wanted to.

I can understand why people may not like Zelensky and some of his troops (the alleged neo-nazis), but I don’t understand why there’s a need to share Russian propaganda.

Not everybody shares your opinion on this military conflict. Not everybody shares your view on what is propaganda.

I have found the information on the Telegraph sites that I read to be far superior to and far more accurate than what the main stream media has been offering.

And conversely I have found almost everything that comes out of the Ukrainian government to be false.

After NATO "fixes" The Ukraine, they should go back and "fix" Yugoslavia, which existed as a single sovereign nation even longer.

Rape Allegations Against Russian Troops In Ukraine Were Fake

There is a first and still very low noise signal that the Zelenski regime in Kiev is coming apart.

Six weeks ago there were suddenly many claims that Russian soldiers in Ukraine had raped people.

Ukrainians Who Have Been Raped by Russian Troops Are Refusing to Stay Silent
