NATO strengthens Ukraine's missile defense



İslam Elizade: Associate Professor of Political Science / University of Pittsburgh

Ukraine’s Nato-led allies have announced deliveries of advanced air defence weapons to Kyiv, after a spate of Russian missile strikes.
The weaponry promised by the UK, Canada, France and the Netherlands includes missiles and radars. The US earlier made a similar pledge. One high-tech system from Germany is already in Ukraine.
The pledges come as Ukraine’s allies from 50 countries meet at Nato headquarters in Brussels.
Kyiv hailed the summit as “historic”.
Hours later Russian shelling hit the southern city of Mykolaiv on Thursday morning, officials said.
The city’s mayor Oleksandr Senkevich said the city was “massively shelled” at around 01:00 local time (23:00 GMT).
“A five-storey residential building was hit, the upper two floors were completely destroyed, the rest – under rubble. Rescuers are working on the site,” he said.
It has been a particularly intense week in Ukraine – on Monday and Tuesday, it saw some of its heaviest Russian bombardment in months when more than 100 missiles were launched, hitting energy infrastructure and other non-military targets including a children’s playground.
At least 19 people were killed on the first day of the strikes, which included hitting central Kyiv.
Russian President Vladimir Putin says the missile strikes were retaliation for an attack on a key bridge linking Russia and Crimea – Ukraine’s southern peninsula annexed by Moscow in 2014.
Russia says Saturday’s blast was organised by Ukraine’s intelligence agency – a claim rubbished by Kyiv.

  2. Excellent ! Plus l'Ukraine sera protéger, plus la russie se limitera à lancer des missiles destructeurs qui seront détruits ! Car ce n'est pas demain la veille que l'on donnera une bonne leçon à la Russie ! Donc, les pays se disent vaut mieux que ce soit l'Ukraine que nous ! Et de voir la pute à Ordegan, manigancer avec la Russie me fait vomir !

  3. I do not support the war effort in Ukraine. The Ukrainian people are cousins to the Russians and during the Cold war they were our enemy. So why do we have to support them now? Like the American election their elections was also corrupt. To the best of my knowledge they had biolabs in Ukraine. There are many nuclear power plants in Ukraine and the risk that one of them might go critical is too great. The neo-nazis in Ukraine have a high chance of becoming terrorist or mercenaries after the war is over with.

  4. Somehow need to create intense fear in Russians by guerilla actions to target and take out systematically and randomly the vile Russian DUMA members. Then torch their houses . Unless Ukraine can infiltrate Russia and use these tactics to devastate the evil regime , Russia won’t change.

  6. Nato shouldn't be there to start with. Ukraine is one of the most corrupt countries in the world. Most of the weapons they will sell them on. Putin didn't want nato missiles next door. That's no difference to jfk in Cuba. So much bad media. Bit like yours I guess.

  7. RUSSIA THINKS IF REPUBLICANS WIN THE SENATE , AND HOUSE THAT WE WILL STOP HELPING UKRAINE , WELL AS A REPUBLICAN WOMAN . I PRAY PUTIN IS WRONG, I WILL REALLY BE UPSET IF THE REPUBLICANS QUIT ON UKRAINE . UKRAINE IS FIGHTING FOR ITS SURVIVAL, AND PUTIN IS HAVING HIS TROOPS HIT CIVILLIAN TARGETS KILLING CHILDREN, WOMEN , AND ELDERLY . HE IS SATIN. HIS TROOPS HAVE NO FOOD, WATER, OR SUPPLIES, THEY HAVE NO TRAINING, AND THEY ARE BEING SENT TO THE FRONT LINES TO BE CANNON FODDER , PUTIN ONLY CARES ABOUT HIS BIG PLANS TO BE A CZAR OF A NEW USSR. HE HAS TO GO. SLAVA UKRAINEA

  8. All that real time weapon testing for NATO will prove invaluable in the future.
    And Russia ? Still using outdated equipment and WW2 tactics. Quantity is no answer to quality.
