    Provide UA with MLRS to make our strategic defensive operation in East more active and effective. Increased UA ability to strike in depth of Rus combat formations means Rus inability to outperform UA in manoeuvring and massing superior power on frontline to pierce UA defences.

    US owes UA SRBM ATACMS as back in 1990s and 2000s US persuaded UA to disarm - among other things to destroy SRBM Scud complexes. Back at that time people expected peace&cooperation but those days are gone. Now there are gaps in UA capabilities that need to be addressed asap.

    A lot of people in White House would be surprised to learn that Ukrainians are united not around specific person who holds office of President at specific moment but around idea of free, sovereign, independent Ukraine. Our allegiance is toward our Republic 🇺🇦.

    President Volodymyr Zelensky is asking for F-16s because his advisers believe that, without them, Ukraine’s skies may fill with Russian bombers. So far they have been better judges of the war than most Western experts. It is past time to listen to them. economist.com/leaders/2023/0…

    Just want to remind that UA agreed not only to nuclear disarmament in 1990s but to dismantle its arsenal of conventional Scud operation-tactical missiles given proliferation risks - 50 launchers+185 missiles were destroyed. Now Ukraine need to be reciprocated with M270 or M142.

    It’s a moment of truth for Biden Admin in UA-RU war - there is no substitution for M270/M142 in terms of capabilities UA need. Only UA ability to target RU logistics, C2 nodes, artillery, reinforcements would allow to exhaust RU offensive capabilities and arrest its advancements.

    Stop talking about so-called land bridge as there is none. As you see from map there in no continuous two way railway on temporary occupied territories of mainland UA. Capacity to transfer cargo through railways on mainland in limited.

    Якщо в вас за 10 місяців великої війни із Московією немає розуміння, що армійці апріорі завжди готуються до найгірших сценаріїв в мене для вас одна неприємна новина.

    No war is won by sticking only to defence. Strengthening UA air defense is important&benign enterprise. But also UA firepower capability needs to be augmented with SRBM ATACMS - that’s the best asymmetrical response to RU missile terror targeting UA civilian infrastructure.

    Provide UA with ATACMS missiles (310 km range) to directly strike Rus ships in Sevastopol. It’s much more cheaper than using NATO major surface combatants every time to convoy cargo ships with UA agricultural export. Save time and money.

    This “America first” will quickly turn in “America alone” if you treat allies&partners in a way 🇺🇦 President was treated in White House. Such a strategic suicide in real time. Everything built since WWII through sacrifice&consistent effort of US citizens is thrown in dustbin.
