From Maia Mikhaluk in Kyiv (938th day)
While Ukraine keeps trying to convince our partners to “untie our hands” and allow Ukraine to use Western weapons to hit military targets inside of ruzzia, we are working on reaching those targets with drones that are made in Ukraine.
Good news for today warehouses where tons of ammunition is stored have detonated and burning brightly in the russian Toroptsk (Tver Oblast)
Spectacular explosions were detected even by NASA satellite images. Potentially, there could be 30,000 tons of ammunition for various purposes on the territory of the arsenal. That’s 30,000 tons of bombs and missiles that will not fall on people in Ukraine!
It would have probably taken one missile to do that job, but in the absence of permission to use Western missiles, it took 100 Ukrainian drones. If we could destroy more warehouses like that, the war would be over soon.
Some self-serving politicians in the West who would love to continue doing business with ruzzia are trying to fan the fears that putin is not bluffing when he is talking about nuclear weapons whenever things don’t go well in the war for him. In September 2022, Putin said, “If the territorial integrity of our country is threatened, we will without doubt use all available means to protect Russia and our people — this is not a bluff.” However, since Sep 2022, there were many chances to see that it was a bluff – the West eventually started helping Ukraine with weapons and putin didn’t announce war against any Western country, Ukraine reclaimed some of the occupied territories announced by putin as belong to ruzzia, now Ukrainian troops are in ruzzian territory, controlling part of Kursk region. Ruzzian dictator seems to be more interested in continuing to destroy our cities than reclaiming Kursk region. Putin will not use nuclear weapons because it will be the end of him personally, but he will keep using nuclear threats to get his way.
It’s strange that the West is afraid of putin’s “red lines”. But it’s international laws that protect territorial integrity of every country that are red lines not to be crossed even by crazy bullies with nuclear power. Weakening the bully is exactly in the interest of any democratic country. For an American politician to say that there are no American interests at stake in ruzzian war against Ukraine because Ukraine has no minerals for America to control sounds in line with putin’s values. No wonder there is a mutual admiration between putin and those who want to deliver Ukraine to ruzzian dictator.
