Ukraine’s Zelensky warns of dwindling air defense missiles
Arab News ^ | April 7, 2024 | Rooters

KYIV: Ukraine could run out of air defense missiles if Russia keeps up its intense long-range bombing campaign, President Volodymyr Zelensky warned in remarks aired on Saturday. The Ukrainian leader’s starkest warning to date of the deteriorating situation faced by his country’s air defenses follows weeks of Russian strikes on the energy system, towns and cities using a broad arsenal of missiles and drones. “If they keep hitting (Ukraine) every day the way they have for the last month, we might run out of missiles, and the partners know it,” he said in an interview that aired on Ukrainian television.

He (Zelensky) singled out in particular the need for Patriot air defense systems and said Ukraine needed 25 of them.

Poor Zelensky, he breaks his toys so quickly.

Mike Johnson will approve the deal in Congress next week. It’s a done deal.

What does Saint Zelensky see missiles for? All the RuZZZZia orcs have is shovels! Sing it Zeepers.

“Ukraine’s Zelensky warns of dwindling air defense missiles”

Warns who? We knew that already and his begging is getting old.

This possibility of getting into an armed conflict with Russia started with their bailing on Russia when the Soviets fell in the early 1990’s. They had to know this was a possibility. They just left at the right time with the Russian government being in chaos and not trying to stop them. Then when the Ukrainees really started to indicate their wealth and foreign trade possibilities the Russians got interested. So they want them back and are willing to do what they have been doing since the 1300’s...fight for it. And the Ukraine was never ready for it and struck their heads in the sand. Now they are begging for anyone to give them some more beach. And there are no secrets.

Ukraine ping

Navy Patriot: [Poor Zelensky, he breaks his toys so quickly.]


For whatever reason, including the possibility that Biden is on Putin’s payroll, the man is throttling military supplies to Ukraine. European NATO countries are now starting to bridle at Biden’s restrictions on what they are allowed to send and are contemplating breaking the Biden arms embargo, even in breach of end user restrictions imposed on European buyers of US arms. Whether they follow through may determine whether Ukraine holds fast or is overrun.

In WW2, the US sent 14,000 planes and 13,000 tanks to Russia. Biden has sent 0 planes and two dozen tanks. More importantly, he has prevented allies from sending US-sourced weaponry. Will they give Biden the finger and finally break Biden’s equipment logjam? We shall find out in the days ahead. They are probably betting that if he imposes sanctions on them for sending advanced gear to Ukraine, he will lose the vote of national security-focused independents, maybe costing him the election.

The way this is written and updated by Rooters indicates Zelensky repeated this same warning today, Saturday.

Yes, his begging is getting old, and he is repeating the same plea more often.

Since Vloddy is so good with homemade drones...he should try some homemade missiles. He can get his 15 year old recruits to build some...

Biden's purpose for Zelensky and Ukraine is simple personal graft.

Biden's plans for election is to cheat better than he did last time.

Biden doesn't give a crap about "national security-focused independents".

Is it Biden or is it this cabal of small-minded Republicans who want to spite him so much that they'll create a major Russian success story in Europe? In WW2 Republicans who hated Roosevelt nonetheless backed his war effort for the good of the country. Not here. Not now.

Name these "small-minded Republicans" who, rather than agree with Biden, are acting in spite?
