Washington has been ‘very clear’ on which weapons it’s sending to Ukraine, an envoy claims

While Washington intends to continue supplying Ukraine with weapons, systems that allow Ukrainian forces to attack Russia will not be among them, US ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield said on Tuesday.

Look, it’s very very simple. We have been clear from day one that we will provide Ukraine with weapons to defend itself from Russian aggression, to defend itself inside its borders, to fight against Russia,” Thomas-Greenfield told reporters at a press conference marking the end of Washington’s presidency over the UN Security Council. “We’re not providing any weapons that will allow the Ukrainians to attack Russia from inside of Ukraine, and President [Joe] Biden has been very clear on that.

We’re not going to become [a] party to the war,” she added.

On Monday, Biden confirmed media speculation that the US intends to ship multiple rocket launcher systems (MLRS) to Ukraine. He offered no details beyond saying he was “not going to send to Ukraine rocket systems that can strike into Russia.”

US media outlets have mentioned MLRS systems as possibly destined for Ukraine – the M270 tracked launcher, retired in 2003, or the more modern M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS). Both can launch tactical ballistic missiles with a range of up to 300 kilometers, as well as barrage rockets with an effective range of around 30 kilometers.

Awnnn! I miss when Russia - Ukraine News was dominating headlines and front page.

Wether or not Russia achieves it's goals in this invasion, the guaranteed thing is that Ukraine will be left in ruins at the mercy of the same countries supplying it arms.

Ukraine is collateral damage in a proxy battle of wits. No thanks to the naive Comedian who lacks an understanding of international politics and the hypocrisy of the West.

They did smell his naivety and inexperience from afar, milked it for all it was worth, hailed and encouraged him to destroy his country and kill his citizens, and now dumping him in the lurch where he seems to belong.

Singing...

Shey You want to bam bam..

Shey You want to chill with the big boys?


The US should supply the dumbass clown a shipload of catapults.

Yeye people.

It makes no difference now!
It is now a full blown no holds barred from Russia!

Ukraine should blame the type of decisions and leaders it brought on themselves!
