onthedarkside Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Kyiv, Ukraine — Russia took aim at Western military supplies for Ukraine with airstrikes in Kyiv on Sunday that it said destroyed tanks donated from abroad, as President Vladimir Putin warned that any Western deliveries of long-range rocket systems to Ukraine would prompt Moscow to hit "objects that we haven't yet struck." The cryptic threat of a military escalation from the Russian leader didn't specify what the new targets might be, but it comes days after the United States announced plans to deliver $700 million of security assistance for Ukraine that includes four precision-guided, medium-range rocket systems, helicopters, Javelin anti-tank weapon systems, radars, tactical vehicles, spare parts and more. Military analysts say Russia is hoping to overrun the embattled eastern Donbas region, where Russia-backed separatists have fought the Ukrainian government for years, before any weapons that might turn the tide arrive. The Pentagon said earlier this week it will take at least three weeks to get the precision U.S. weapons and trained troops onto the battlefield.

Not a fan of war but talking to him must be like speaking to a general we know. In one ear out the other unless it gives him more power. ???? 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little does he know that all the nukes in the world are aimed at his residence. If he doesn't have brain cancer this may scare him a little. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's starting to sound a bit like the boy who cried wolf with all his threats to the west. He barely seems to have the military capacity to achieve his current, already well watered-down, objectives. Let alone manage a confrontation with "the west". 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote President Vladimir Putin warned that any Western deliveries of long-range rocket systems to Ukraine would prompt Moscow to hit "objects that we haven't yet struck. As the weapons have not been delivered yet, it is impossible for them to have been "struck" already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weaponry is being given free to the Ukraine by way of the donor foreign governments who are buying from suppliers . I also heard today that not only a withdrawal from the Ukraine but also to vacate Crimea . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Russia already have a long term lease in Crimea for its Naval base before Russia invaded Crimea? Now it doesn't pay for use of the base. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the negotiation you are referring to? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Crimea is/was part of the sovereign territory of Ukraine and was recognized as such by the international community, including Russia. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
