Taurus should quickly follow ATACMS

n-tv.de/politik/Putin-befoer… "Putin schreibt und sagt ja ganz offen, dass er Russlands Einflusssphäre nicht nur in der Ukraine, sondern in ganz Osteuropa wiederherstellen will", sagt @jcbehrends Deshalb stimmt: Wenn Putin in Ukraine gewinnt, ist das der Anfang vom nächsten Krieg.

A foreign "observer" from #Africa, at gunpoint, assures that everything is fine in the #Russian pseudo-elections and there are no violations.

Blasts shook Kyiv for nearly two hours. 26 out of 32 drones intercepted. Debris rained down on several central districts. The only thing Russia achieved? More people this morning cursing terrorists 📷 Gleb Garanich

How can European leaders accept such insane G20 language on the war in Ukraine? 🤯 It’s not ‘in’ Ukraine but ‘against’ Ukraine that Putin has launched his brutal invasion and genocide !

This refutes the old bogus notion that the Russian invasion was provoked or that it was only their defensive concerns that precipitated the attack. It has been a long-term objective of the Kremlin to restore as much of the old empire as possible. The invasion has nothing to do with neo-Nazis, future NATO possible admission, persecution of Russian speakers or any of the other nonsense. It is disgusting that so many in the West take up this bogus Russian propaganda when the facts are so apparent. #RussiaLosing

These are not free and democratic elections. It is a farce the russia is doing for propaganda purposes.

Nothing says freedom like armed men showing up at your door telling you to vote.

This night Kyiv was attacked by drones again. We all ask one question: when would it stop? russia needs to be deprived of an ability to produce weapons.

It’s safe to come out now, Olaf. #FreeTaurus abcnews.go.com/Politics/us-s…

The war memorials in the center of Kyiv are becoming ever more prominent and tragic. We must help Ukraine to defeat Russia as soon as possible.

Das Thema der systematischen Verschleppung der ukrainischen Kinder durch Russland blieb bis jetzt fast unbekannt in Deutschland. Mit 2 großen Veranstaltungen im Bundestag am Donnerstag versuchten wir, die Situation zu verändern. 🧵⬇️ /1

The transfer of key long-range missiles with a range of over 500 km, including the #MGM-140 #ATACMS, addresses two key tasks of this stage of the war. The first (psychological) task is to send a clear signal to everyone that the war will be taken to its conclusion, that #Russia must lose, and that there is no longer a mythical fear of #Moscow. It also demonstrates that the acceleration of supplies is a real de-escalation, and all other countries must increase the supply of most critical military assets to #Ukraine. The second (practical) task is the significant acceleration of the destruction of Russia's rear resources, key strategic bases in the occupied territories. Total disruption of transport logistics. Blocking the ability to conduct rotations, and consequently, a sharp reduction in the combat readiness of Russian occupation forces on the first/second defensive echelons. Solutions are needed.

The Russian expansion model: they attack Ukraine, steal grain, pay with this grain for North Korean and Iranian weapons, attack again. The same with soldiers: they attack, forcibly conscript males from the occupied regions, attack again. It is a cancer tumor expansion model.

Elon intervened on Russia’s behalf in the war. At this pt it doesn’t matter why: whether he’s in Putin’s pocket by conscious choice or just irretrievably, dangerously ignorant & arrogant, his actions make him an effective RU asset. His ability to intervene again must be contained

Sometimes a mistake is much more than just a mistake. By not allowing Ukrainian drones to destroy part of the Russian military (!) fleet via #Starlink interference, @elonmusk allowed this fleet to fire Kalibr missiles at Ukrainian cities. As a result, civilians, children are being killed. This is the price of a cocktail of ignorance and big ego. However, the question still remains: why do some people so desperately want to defend war criminals and their desire to commit murder? And do they now realize that they are committing evil and encouraging evil?

G20 adopted a final declaration. We are grateful to the partners who tried to include strong wording in the text. However, in terms of Russia's aggression against Ukraine, G20 has nothing to be proud of. This is how the main elements of the text could look to be closer to reality

Why are we not challenging Russia in the Black Sea? Excellent by @YorukIsik "The Bosphorus Watcher"...best expert on what's happening on the Black Sea and in the Turkish Straits. mei.edu/publications/russias…

🇷🇺General Andrei Mordvichev interview: - The war will take a long time. There is no point in talking specific dates... If we talk about Eastern Europe, what we have to do - of course it will take longer... - Is 🇺🇦 just a stage? - Yes, exactly. It's just the beginning.
