UK and USA sending what ever rocket and jet to Ukraine is deliberate act to escalate the war, and encouraging Putin to finally destroy Ukraine maybe that's what they want for now.
UK knows that the military weapons will destroy Ukraine,so that they can discuss about rebuilding Ukraine under certain conditions after the massacre.
they're not only sending weapon, they also sending mercenaries and they'll all die. Only God knows the number of NATO special forces that've died in ukraine!

It’s not going to change anything, it will only prolong the war and make Russia have the upper hand at the negotiating table…

People still don’t get it yet, Russia is the most powerful nation on earth, forget the hype of USA, UK and EU.

The mercenaries are running back the their countries after realizing that they are not fighting against weak inexperienced sheepherders wearing sandals like in Afghanistan hiding in the mountains…

Africans should open their eyes and realize that the real enemy is the collective west, Russia helped South Africa during apartheid…

I’m happy people in Congo are now looking to Putin to save them from the leaches in the west.

Zelensky fled into his bunker after Russia bombed Kyiv yesterday, destroying tanks and armored vehicles delivered to Ukraine from Poland. At 1:21 in the video below, a Ukrainian man talking to the BBC blamed Ukraine for deploying soldiers beside residential buildings. He wants Ukraine to take its soldiers away from their homes so Russia can properly fire at the soldiers and their weapons.

Zelensky said Russia has fired 2,503 missiles into Ukraine since the war began. Putin said he'd send more to destroy the new weapons NATO is sending into Ukraine. That's the HIMARS we're talking about here.

The BBC video is 2:55 seconds long. Please Watch it.

Congo is one of the worst countries in Africa ruled time after time by despotic and currupt rulers. Mobutu killed and buried that country and the coward Congolese sat down and watch, but it's okay, you are free to blame their misfortune on the west.

You need to go back and read the history of Congo, Do you know that Congo has abundance of Mc natural resources which are stolen by the west? Do you know the west sponsor civil unrest and impose puppets in power in other to manipulate them for their selfish gains… At the end of the day, ordinary citizens suffer.. check most African countries and ask your self the genesis of the leaders corruption?

Do you know who haile selassie is?
Do you know who Patrice lumumber is?
I’m sure you ghaddafi… these are great African leaders who spoke against the west and they were what? kILLED!!!

Open your eyes my brother..

See what is going on in Mail, they evicted the French foreign military because they were doing what the west knows how to do best which is to steal from your resources… Russia had to save Mali

War is not simple as you think no matter how weak the opponent looks, small Bokoharam we still Dey battle them till tomorrow this one is same country o, and rebels at that. Now imagine fighting a whole country that is getting weapons left right and centre from Europe. War is often easy to start but only God knows when and how it will end
texazzpete:


Russia has employed everything they have aside from Nuclear weapons. They’ve tried total war,
Massing artillery to raze cities to the ground. They’ve fired thousands of missiles.

Ukraine is still holding in the East, after decisively defeating Russia outside Kyiv.

They’re already firing air and sea launched missiles. Stop living in denial.


The Afghanistan comparison is laughable, since the Taliban were quickly beaten back when the US invaded. All heavy weapons destroyed. Ukraine still has a functioning Air Force, significant amounts of tanks and artillery and holds most of their key cities.

When they deploy these long range MLRS, they’ll quickly crush these Russian artilllery concentrations and then you’ll see

Putin made a grave mistake with this invasion

RedScorpion:
Britain is to supply long-range rocket artillery to Ukraine, despite a threat on Sunday from Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin, to bomb fresh targets if similar weapons from the US were delivered to Kyiv.

The UK will send a handful of tracked M270 multiple launch rocket systems, which can hit targets up to 50 miles away, in the hope they can disrupt the concentrated Russian artillery that has been pounding cities in eastern Ukraine.

Ben Wallace, the UK defence secretary, argued the decision to ship the rocket launchers was justified because
“as Russia’s tactics change, so must our support to Ukraine”.

The move risks further provoking an already irritated Kremlin.


Before the British announcement, Putin told Rossiya state television that Russia would retaliate further if the US went through with the delivery of Himars rocket artillery that the White House promised last week.

“We will strike at those targets which we have not yet been hitting,” said the Russian leader, who has been closely involved with operational military decisions throughout the three months-plus of the war. He did not specify what those targets were.

In the small hours of Sunday morning, Russian cruise missiles struck a railway depot in the eastern Dniprovsky suburb of Kyiv. Ukraine said the strike hit a rail car repair works; Moscow said it had destroyed tanks sent by eastern European countries to Ukraine.

It was the first time anywhere in the capital has been hit for over five weeks. One person was hospitalised, and a plume of smoke rose and was visible from high points in the capital.

The UK, in conjunction with the US and other western nations, began the war by promising only to supply “defensive weaponry” to help Ukraine repel the Russian invasion.

But as Russia has made gains in the east and the south of the country, western countries have gradually sent more lethal arms.

London said it had been cooperating closely with Washington. The British announcement comes a few days after the US said it would send four similar truck-mounted Himars systems.

The US and UK systems are intended to be complementary. The ranges of both are far greater than any land weapons Ukraine currently has.


Like the US, the UK has sought assurances from Kyiv that the M270s would not be used to strike targets within Russia. A British defence source said the weapons will be used “to defend Ukraine, in Ukraine”. They added: “We have confidence that the weapons will be used appropriately.”

Britain did not say how many M270s it was sending, although the number is small and will be comparable to the US decision to send four Himars.

Ukrainian troops will be trained on how to use the launchers in the UK, the MoD added, and Kyiv’s forces will be supplied with the appropriate rockets “at scale”.

However, Putin said he believed the west’s goal was to prolong the war in Ukraine, which has now gone on for over three months, after the Russian president launched an unprovoked invasion on 24 February.


“All this fuss around additional deliveries of weapons, in my opinion, has only one goal: to drag out the armed conflict as much as possible,” Putin added.

Ukraine’s nuclear energy company, Energoatom, also warned on Sunday that a Russian cruise missile had come dangerously close to the Pivdennoukrainsk nuclear power plant, in the south of the country, at about 5.30am, apparently heading for Kyiv.

It said the missile “flew critically low” over the site and that Russian forces “still do not understand that even the smallest fragment of a missile that can hit a working power unit can cause a nuclear catastrophe and radiation leak”.

At the end of the day who is gaining from all these madness going on in your country?

The funny thing is these westerners are still secretly doing business with the Russians despite the sanctions here and there while the foolish Ukrainians think they west have got their backs. So who is going to pay for the destruction of lives and property when the dust settles? The west is just using Ukraine to fight a war they cannot allow on their territories.
