Russia’s attack against a shopping centre in Kryvyi Rih shows the absolute and utter depravity of Moscow’s war.
This is terror by design. Russia wants to make Ukrainian cities unliveable.
I am putting forward the most far-reaching Russia sanctions listings since the start of the war. The pressure must be intensified until Moscow ends the war.
EU Foreign and Defence Ministers will discuss how to expand our support for Ukraine, including air and missile defence, when they meet in less than two weeks in Dublin.
Russia could have up to 1,300 ballistic missiles a year. Right now, they have 600–630. We have an approximate understanding of the volume they are counting on from today and through the end of winter. Roughly speaking, they could have 100 ballistic missiles a month. But they are not at that level yet. We are working to weaken their military industry. There are corresponding tasks involving strikes on military targets and other anti-ballistic sanctions.
We have become quite effective at intercepting other types of missiles. Our combat aircraft are doing so, and we have more IRIS-T systems now – the relevant systems are in place, and missiles for them are arriving to counter Russian cruise missiles. We have Hawks as well – we are using many different systems to intercept cruise missiles. But ballistic missiles are ballistic missiles. We are now working to ensure that they do not reach those 1,300 – to reduce that number.
I wanted to secure 300 missiles for the Patriot systems as part of the winter package. The request from our Air Force is for 360. But when only 600 are produced a year, 360 is not easy to obtain. We are working with countries on additional options. And I would very much like to believe that we can find a way to access some small percentage of U.S. stockpiles – say, 5% or 10%. And we are ready to pay for those supplies. In other words, America would be able to refresh its stockpile, and we would be able to get through the winter.
From a conversation with journalists (1/3).
After dutifully serving years as propagandist for the Russian government, Seagal's work for Putin will now end where the story always ends.
After selling his $1.3 million Moscow home, the prostitute-loving, washed-up and cash-strapped 1990's TV star will now have all his assets stolen by the Russians.
Trump just posted this.
The President of the United States is publicly joking with Kim Jong Un — the dictator of one of the most brutal regimes on Earth.
Apparently, this is what “America First” looks like now: enemies get memes, dictators get admiration, and allies get threats.
