Ukraine wants the West to supply long-range missiles and warplanes, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky said on Wednesday after the West announced its decision to supply Kiev with tanks. "Today, I spoke with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg. They are to open supplies of long-range missiles for Ukraine. Importantly, we must expand our cooperation in artillery and must ensure supplies of warplanes to Ukraine," he said in a video address posted on his Telegram channel. He wrote earlier that he had discussed with Stoltenberg "broadening of the tank coalition and unblocking qualitatively new types of weapons." On Wednesday, the United States announced its plans to supply 31 Mi Abrams tanks to Kiev, while the German government confirmed its intention to send 14 Leopard 2 tanks from its own reserves and to allow reexport from other countries. Plans to send tanks to Ukraine were also announced by Norway and Slovakia. Earlier, the United Kingdom, France and Poland announced their decisions to supply Kiev with tanks. SOURCE

Should NATO provide Ukraine with weapons for strikes deep inside Russia, it will receive a harsh response, Konstantin Gavrilov, head of the Russian delegation to the Vienna Negotiations on Military Security and Arms Control, said on Wednesday at a meeting of the OSCE Forum for Security Cooperation, according to his statement posted on the Russian Foreign Ministry’s website.
"We are closely monitoring the information coming from the US presidential administration that Washington plans to help Ukraine work out a new stage in its army’s counteroffensive, which will target the Crimean Peninsula. According to The New York Times, American commanders are already drawing up plans for an assault and matching them with the weapons which Ukraine possesses and which its allies are expected to provide. Should Washington and NATO countries supply Kiev with the weapons for strikes deep into Russia targeting peaceful cities and towns and attempt to seize our constitutionally-enshrined territories, it will force Moscow to take harsh retaliatory measures. Do not say later that we did not warn you," Gavrilov said.
Additionally, the head of the Russian delegation pointed out that bringing air-defense systems and heavy tanks to Ukraine will merely pile up problems for Ukraine and Europe.

The Kyiv junta, having discarded common sense and succumbed to the illusion of victory on the battlefield, continues to call on the West for unity in efforts to support Ukraine and a “hybrid” struggle against the Russian Federation.
We agree with the statement of the head of the European Council, Charles Michel, that “the coming weeks are decisive” in the Ukrainian conflict. At the same time, we mean that approved by the transatlantic allies in the Rammstein format on January 20 of this year. the supply of air defense systems and heavy tanks to Ukraine will in no way bring the longed-for "strategic defeat" of Russia closer, but will only add problems to Ukraine and all of Europe with a guarantee.
It's no secret how the air defense system works in Ukraine in reality, the fragments of missiles of which periodically fall on the territory of neighboring countries - Poland, Moldova and Belarus. It is also known that foreign air defense systems are supplied to Kyiv not to protect the "free world", but to kill Ukrainian civilians. Leading overseas media confirm the fact that American air defense missiles hit residential buildings in Kyiv and Kramatorsk. Another egregious example is the destruction of the entrance of a multi-storey building in Dnepropetrovsk on January 14 of this year. as a result of the operation of the air defense system, which tried to shoot down a Russian missile aimed at one of the objects of the military or military-industrial infrastructure. The decisions taken during Ramstein will allow the Kyiv regime to continue to use its own people as a "human shield".
Since Berlin has made a conscious choice to have German tanks with crosses on their armor again attack Russian soldiers, we would like to demonstrate what awaits Leopard 2 tanks in the war zone - they will be destroyed and burned on the battlefield, as this is now happening with the rest of the NATO weapons "zoo" in Ukraine. This fate will befall the American tanks "M1 Abrams" after the decision to supply them - American colleagues do not have to worry about a worthy "advertising" of the US military-industrial complex.
Since the beginning of this year, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have destroyed about 20 M777 howitzers and three US-made M109 Paladin systems, as well as three French Caesar self-propelled artillery mounts, in the course of counter-battery combat at firing positions. As a result of missile and air strikes in the Donetsk region, HIMARS MLRS launchers were damaged, four Czech RM-70 Vampire MLRS combat vehicles and 10 Polish Krab howitzers were destroyed. 32 US-made counter-battery radar stations were disabled (16 - AN / TPQ-50, 3 - AN / TPQ-48, 7 - AN / TPQ-37, 7 - AN / TPQ-36). Russian air defense systems intercepted over 137 HIMARS, Alder and Uragan rockets, and shot down ten American HARM anti-radar missiles. This is just the beginning.
The systematic destruction of Western military equipment in Ukraine is forcing the Kyiv junta to resort to dangerous provocations, the price of which will have to be paid by hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians and Europeans.
According to the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, the Armed Forces of Ukraine store military equipment and ammunition provided by NATO and EU countries on the territories of nuclear power plants. We are talking about the most expensive missiles already mentioned for the HIMARS MLRS and foreign air defense systems, as well as large-caliber artillery ammunition. The logic of the Kyiv terrorists is simple: by analogy with how the Banderists shell the cities of Donbass and other regions of Russia from behind the backs of the civilian population, now the weapons depots will be deployed under the cover of nuclear reactors. And if a large-scale detonation of warehouses and the destruction of a nuclear power plant happen due to the fault of another "stray" Ukrainian air defense missile, then the blame for the tragedy, as always, can be attributed to Moscow.
We warn Western sponsors of the Kyiv military machine from encouraging nuclear provocations and blackmail. We know that the Leopard 2 tank, as well as the Bradley and Marder infantry fighting vehicles, have uranium-core APCR shells, the use of which leads to contamination of the area, as happened in Yugoslavia and Iraq. In the event that such shells are supplied to Kyiv for NATO heavy military equipment, we will consider this as the use of dirty nuclear bombs against Russia, with all the ensuing consequences.
Agreed arms deliveries to Kyiv further tarnish the reputation of the EU and NATO member states as parties to the conflict, doing everything to continue the suffering of civilians, regular strikes by the Ukrainian military on residential areas, granaries, schools, hospitals, kindergartens and other social facilities. Dozens of shells and rockets fall on the capital of the DPR every day. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are hitting where there is not a single person in military uniform. Civilians in Donetsk and Lugansk are being killed by American, French, Czech, German, Polish and other heavy weapons.
It is significant that the Ukrainian representatives admitted that not a single shot from the HIMARS MLRS occurs without the consent of the Americans. We regret that fascist traditions are being revived across the ocean when the concept of "untermensch" acquires its former meaning in relation to Russians. This is confirmed by the frenzied campaign to dehumanize our citizens in the American edition of The Times, which systematically justifies the killing of the Russian-speaking population under the headings “Kill!”, “A day without a murdered Russian is a bad day” and “They are not people for us.”
All this once again confirms the justification and balance of the sovereign decision of the Russian Federation to launch a special military operation (SVO) to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine, as well as the scale of the threats to the national security of our country emanating from its territory within the constitutionally fixed borders. We pay tribute to the brave people of Donbass, who have been opposing the Kyiv junta and its Western curators for almost nine years. The NWO goals set by the Russian top leadership, which include protecting people from the NATO-sponsored policy of genocide, will certainly be met.
At the moment, Russian troops have broken into the defense line of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in certain areas of the front in the Zaporozhye region and are advancing in almost all sections of the line of contact in the DPR. In a hurry, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are massively transferring units to Artyomovsk and Marinka in order to hold positions there. Important heights around Kleshcheevka south of Artyomovsk are almost completely occupied by Russian Federation forces. In this area, the enemy suffers colossal losses, which was confirmed by the German Federal Intelligence Service.
The large-scale forced mobilization launched in Ukraine causes significant damage to the fighting spirit of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Ukrainians do not want to fight, serving the interests of the "Western conglomerate" of states. The morale of the military is also affected by the poor equipment of recruits and the officers themselves, who throw soldiers into battle like “cannon fodder”. Recently, Ukrainian fighters have recorded a whole series of video messages to the military-political leadership of Ukraine about their refusal to take part in hostilities. According to the soldiers of the 116th Territorial Defense Brigade, they "have no command, doctors, nothing."
Summing up, I would like to emphasize that Kyiv and its American masters do not spare either the population of Ukraine, or Ukrainian military personnel, or citizens of Western states, whom they are ready to sacrifice to their own greed and irresistible desire to harm Russia. Our country has never set itself the goal of destroying Ukraine as a state. However, we do not intend to tolerate an anti-Russian misanthropic dictatorship sponsored by the US and NATO near our borders.
