conflict in ukraine
New and more sophisticated weapons.
This is the request that will be made today by the Ukrainian president Zelensky to the leaders of G7that at 2 pm will meet virtually for an emergency meeting, to deal with the Russian threat after yesterday’s attacks on the Kiev and other cities, including Lviv, Dnipro AND zaporizhzhia, as an answer from Vladimir put on the blow to the Kerch bridge, which links Russia to the Crimean peninsula.
In total, 19 people died and another 105 were injured after the missiles fall in Ukrainian cities.
Zelensky is therefore ready to call for a profound change in the western support, which, according to Kiev, is constantly falling short of Ukraine’s needs to defend its territory and its people.
“We are dealing with terrorists – the Ukrainian president repeated yesterday in one of the video messages posted on his social media accounts – they have two goals: energy infrastructure and the people”.
On the other hand, even the French president Emmanuel Macron commented on yesterday’s attacks saying that “we are facing a profound change in the nature of the conflict”.
Even the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, He said he was “deeply shocked” by the attacks, his spokesman said, adding: “This constitutes another unacceptable escalation of the war and, as always, civilians are paying the highest price.”
but of what weapons Is Zelensky talking specifically?
On his “wish list”, as the British newspaper called The Guardianexist in the first place anti-aircraft systems AND missiles long range.
Germany announced on Monday that it would speed up the delivery of a infrared air defense called Iris-T, reporting that the first of four batteries would arrive within days.
Even the United States promised two advanced short- and medium-range ground air defense systems (nasams) in July and a US defense official told Washington Post which should arrive in a few weeks.
Just Zelensky, after yesterday’s attacks, published a tweet in which he explained that he had spoken with his American counterpart, Joe Biden: “Air defense is currently the priority number 1 in our defense cooperation – he wrote -. We also need the leadership of the United States with the tough stance of the G7 and the support of our resolution [dell’assemblea generale delle Nazioni Unite]”.
After the phone call between the two, the White House released a statement stating that Biden “committed to continue providing Ukraine with the support needed to defend itself, including advanced air defense systems, “but it is unclear whether he was referring to the already promised Nasams.
The answer may come in the next few hours, not only from the G7 meeting, but also from Brusselswhere US Defense Minister Lloyd Austin and Chief of Staff Mark Milley will lead a summit of about 50 countries that have agreed to send arms to the Ukrainian resistance.
