The main Republican in the US Senate called for giving long-range missiles to Ukraine
Ukraine continues to resist the onslaught of the Russian military, which predominates in some areas with the hero’s personnel and weapons, so the Ukrainians need powerful long-range weapons.
Mitch McConnell, a Republican leader in the Senate of the United States Congress, made the call on Tuesday, the Ukrinform correspondent reports.
“While Russia is in charge of combat energy at the front, Ukrainian soldiers need more weapons. They need a powerful force, they need weapons of greater range to safely resist the next forces of Russia, “McConnell said.
He said that the United States “should not procrastinate” in providing Ukrainians with defense support to save lives.
“Our goal is not to humiliate Putin, but to help Ukraine defend itself. That is why we need to make our decision, not that of Vladimir Putin, “McConnell said.
He stressed that in the current situation it is inappropriate to beware of escalation on the part of Russia.
“The ones who have suffered the most from the risk of escalation are the Ukrainians, and they are not afraid, they are fighting for their lives, and the bond is indiscriminately leveling their city with the land,” the senator said.
He advised those in Europe who are afraid of the risks of escalation to think about what Putin will do with their cities if Ukraine does not stop him.
“The Biden administration must declare that it will provide Ukraine with longer-range missiles… The administration must state whether it will send anti-ship missiles,” the senator said.
According to him, this will be a signal to hesitant partners that they must also provide Ukraine with this critical assistance.
According to Ukrinform, last week the US administration drew attention to a new package of military aid to Ukraine, which amounted to $ 40 billion to support Ukraine and other countries that support Russian aggression.
