Zelensky urges 'decisive action' after massive Russian airstrikes
DPA International (Germany) via Yahoo ^ | August 26th, 2024 | Unattributed

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has appealed to global partners for "decisive action" following the latest Russian assault on Ukraine which he says involved more than 100 missiles and some 100 drones.

"Weakness and inadequate responses fuel terror," Zelensky said in a brief video message posted on social media platform X on Monday.

"Every leader, every one of our partners, knows the decisive actions required to end this war justly."

He again appealed for the lifting of restrictions on the use of long-range weapons supplied by Western partners, which currently prevent Ukraine from striking deep into Russian territory.

"Ukraine cannot be constrained in its long-range capabilities when the terrorists face no such limitations," Zelensky said.

"America, Britain, France, and our other partners have the power to help us stop this terror. The time for decisive action is now," the president said, listing some of the country's most important and powerful allies.

Russia carried out massive airstrikes on Ukraine in the early hours of Monday morning, in what Zelensky described as one of the heaviest air attacks in two and a half years of war.

They already have a domestic drone with a range of about 1,000 miles.

What do they want? Tomahawks, Minuteman III and B-1Bs?

If it requires action or help, it should fall on Europe to sacrifice.

And we were told that Russia was just a gas station with nukes.

Maybe he’s asking Belarus to invade. It would become “The War of the Three Russias”

When are the zeepers getting their rifles and heading to the front lines of Ukraine? Oh, sorry, they want YOUR kids and grandkids fighting and dying over there. Not themselves or their own kids.

Are those on the table now too??!
With non-nuclear warheads of course (at least mostly)
We are retiring the B-1B Lancers; would those help the Ukes?

“Decisive action”, a$$hole, would have been to negotiate an end to this AGAIN before you attacked “Mother Russia”. Now, there will no negotiations, only unconditional surrender.

...Zelensky has appealed to global partners

Global 'Partners?' Ha! I'd say more like victims of verbal abuse that condemns, cajoles, begs, pleads, bribes, mischaracterizes and all manner of coercive 'convincing' to GIVE UKR front-line weapons.

Your time is comin' Zel-baby. November. Either way, you're not a stage-front distraction from demented Biden anymore. Democrats are so enthralled with the "joy" of Que-Mala and you can't vote or enhance that fairy tale, and the other part wants Trump to make you come to the table and end this.

“What do they want?”


They want to keep the billions and our soldiers fighting the war.

If that little tyrant had nukes, he’d use them for sure.

Maybe, instead of going around the world with his hand out and buying expensive new homes and sportscars, he should fight his own damn war?

When in doubt, escalate.

When you get your a$$ beat for escalating it, escalate again!

Idiot Zelensky has picked a bad time to poke the bear. He can make himself responsible for this attack by his big mouth and stupid actions.

Americans no longer mass support NATO’s adventurism and the American people aren’t going to die for Ukraine.

The weapons we furnish were always meant to be defensive.

I believe Zelensky’s handlers had him attack Kursk, target the nuclear power plants, to make sure to halt those negotiations.

Once in Kursk, Zelensky’s forces included foreign mercenaries who shot at citizens trying to evacuate the villages, they also shot at ambulances and fire trucks. This also seems intended to ensure that there would be no negotiations.

Putins aid these attacks on citizens are not wartime actions, but instead are the actions of terrorists, and would not be treated with Geneva convention considerations.

All this to say, Zelensky is claiming the missile strikes were ‘terrorism’. Our Zeepers do the same thing. Whatever you say about them, they say it back - doesn’t matter the situation. Just a parrot tactic.

Minnie Z knows he cannot win this war without NATO troops fighting on the ground. He’s basically calling for WWIII. We should be prepared for some false flag operations that will try to suck the West into the war.

Well, the US changed it’s mind like it did on not sending tanks and then they did.

Translation Ukraine needs boots on the ground.
