This is our Churchill vs. Chamberlain moment. Stand with good or stand with evil.
Ukraine is a democracy invaded by a dictator who wants to erase its independence, culture and people.
Ronald Reagan would stand with Ukraine and vote yes tonight. He would choose Churchill.
Mr Witkoff has gone to Moscow eight times to negotiate peace… zero times to Ukraine. Most Americans know this is not right. Don’t pretend to be neutral when the facts are obvious. Can we get someone serious in the position to do this right?
Ungeheuerlich. Damit will man die 🇺🇦 der Vernichtungsabsicht Russlands ausliefern & uns mit! Wann wird begriffen, daß RUS nicht verhandeln& keinen Frieden will. RUS muss mil &pol unter Druck geraten: mit mehr mil. Unterstützung für🇺🇦 + stärkeren Sanktionen

For the first time, Ukraine successfully targets Russian Iskanders before launch. They are almost impossible to intercept and extremely deadly.
Ukraine hit 3 launchers of the 26th Rocket Brigade at the moment they were setting up to hit Kyiv.

After the successful SBU operations on Russian soil, there is a high likelihood of escalation from the Russian side.
In the worst-case scenario, Russia might even launch a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
🇺🇸💥155mm production update💥
Yesterday, General Dynamics Ordnance & Tactical Systems opened their new 155mm Load, Assemble & Pack (LAP) facility in Camden, AR.
Once fully operational it will have a monthly production capacity of 50,000 rounds per month, a full half of the US Army's 100,000/month target.
The other 50,000 rounds of capacity is coming from the Government Owned, Contractor Operated (DayZimm/AO) Iowa Army Ammunition Plant, and their Contractor Owned, Contractor Operated Parsons, KS facility, which was formerly the GOCO Kansas Army Ammunition Plant.
The plant has two production lines, one is facilitized to LAP M795s at a rate of 20,000/month, and the other M1128s at 30,000/month.
LAP is the final stage of the production process for munitions, where metal projectile bodies are filled with explosive material, assembled with other components, and packed for shipment.
Emotions have run high today. But it is good that 5 countries met to bring peace closer. Ukraine, the USA, the UK, France and Germany. The sides expressed their views and respectfully received each other’s positions. It’s important that each side was not just a participant but contributed meaningfully. The American side shared its vision. Ukraine and other Europeans presented their inputs. And we hope that it is exactly such joint work that will lead to lasting peace. We are grateful to partners. Ukraine will always act in accordance with its Constitution and we are absolutely sure that our partners in particular the USA will act in line with its strong decisions.
‼️ Kallas: The EU will never recognize Crimea as Russian
The head of European diplomacy, Kaja Kallas, criticized the United States, stating that they had not used all the tools at their disposal to pressure Russia, and said that Moscow had been "playing games" with the "Easter truce" as it was not genuinely seeking peace.
Last week, U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to abandon efforts to end the war if no progress was made in the negotiations.
Kallas pointed out that Kyiv and its European allies had hoped Washington would take a firmer stance against Moscow. She also noted that it would be a mistake for Washington to consider the issue of recognizing the annexed Crimea as Russian territory in a peace deal.
According to her, the EU will never recognize the peninsula as Russian.
🇺🇦"Crimea is Ukraine," Kallas added.
⚡️ EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas: “Crimea is Ukraine. For those who are under occupation, it is very important that others do not recognize it as Russian,”

Three years ago on this day.
Russian VDV trying to advance toward Kyiv are ambushed and exterminated in the streets of Hostomel just outside the capital.
24.02.2022 r. około godziny 8 czasu lokalnego. Droga Czarnobyl-Iwanków w rejonie wsi Sukaczi (50.96001, 29.90156). Fragment tekstu na moim blogu.
" Kolumna pojazdów 45 Brygady Specnazu i 5 Brygady Pancernej jadąc główną drogą z Przyborska, ominęła od północy Sukaczi i zbliżała się do mostu na rzece Błotna. Na podejściach do tej przeprawy została jednak ostrzelana dalekim ogniem małokalibrowym przez oddziały OW „Iwanków”, zajmujące pozycje wzdłuż zachodniego brzegu tej rzeki. Ukraiński ostrzał zmusił rosyjską kolumnę do zatrzymania, a następnie gdy wzmógł się on w wyniku wprowadzenia moździerzy 82 mm, do wycofania w rejon Sukacze."
