It is obvious that the launch of these missiles would have been impossible without British specialists. We are aware of this. We know this very well, and we are, of course, taking it into account. To stop such barbaric actions by the Kyiv regime from continuing, a special military operation is being carried out to demilitarise Kyiv and deprive it of the ability to carry out such barbaric strikes.
Defending the countries of Nato's eastern flank in the event of a potential Russian aggression would cost at least twelve hundred billion euros - twenty-four times more than the Polish defence budget. A free Ukraine, as part of the West, is our chance to render Russian imperialism toothless.
Ben Hodges said the proposed multinational force, discussed this week by the British and French leaders with Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Paris, had to be robust enough to deal with likely Kremlin-orchestrated provocations. The coalition of the willing has to have real force and rules of engagement that allow it to immediately react and respond to any violations, he said. Captains can't be having to call back to Paris or London to find out how to deal with a Russian drone.
With the fight evolving quickly, arms companies in Ukraine and Europe say that they can't afford to start from scratch and completely redesign entire systems each time conditions shift. Instead, companies making aerial drones and ground robots told Business Insider that their focus is now on creating weapons that can be upgraded by simply changing parts or software rather than overhauling the whole system. Designs are modular, like Lego pieces, with parts being easily swapped out as new mission demands arise.
We don't exclude a land grab from Russia as part of their plan to protect their own nuclear capabilities, which is the only thing they have left that actually threatens the United States, said Gen Eirik Kristoffersen, Norway's chief of defence.
Sometimes you want to speak frankly, but the situation does not allow it. For example, until this morning we had several air defense systems without missiles. Today I can say this openly, because today I have these missiles. Continuous missile packages are needed. Today, thank God, early this morning we received a serious package. It is now in Ukraine, and I can talk about it.
