The war in Ukraine Europe Courage as a strong defender of democracy in parliament and is a test for leadership. This is the president of the legislature Roberta Metsola He told RFE / RL’s Georgian Service.
In an extensive interview with Metsola Europe union Ukraine called for more work to be done.
“Ukraine must survive “
“We have to make a choice. We must either save Ukraine or turn our backs on it. That means turning our backs that, to us a democratic leader, a global who supports freedom in the world political We are turning away from a country that sees itself as a force. ” – He told Metsola.
The Maltese politician Metsola stressed that Ukraine needs not only additional military equipment, but also weapons that its soldiers can use. Czech Republic T-72 tanks to Ukraine on April 5 and BVP-1 sent infantry fighting vehicles. He stressed that European aid to Metsola should be increased in this way.
1.2 shown by the EU so far billion Euro financial aid has never been seen before, however president he says that, “Ukraine must survive. We must help, we must ensure that Ukraine wins this war, because otherwise all Europe will be lost. “
“Russians can follow them”
Russia He announced that he had changed his strategic goals in Ukraine and that operations would be concentrated in the eastern Donbas region. Kyiv and The forces around Chernigov are reported to have withdrawn. So how can Ukraine prepare for a new Russian attack on the Donbas? RFE / RL: Retired U.S. Marine Corps, Strategic Defense In Washington and Leading Advisor, Center for International Studies Mark Kankianla talked about it.
According to Kankian, the Russians should have done what they did now three weeks in advance, that is, concentrated their efforts on the areas where they were more successful. “Now it’s happening in the south, around Mariupol, they’re also from the north and come from the Donbas region in the east “, He says.
“One of the goals of Russia’s attack is to increase its success in the Donbas, to seize those territories. She according to It is not surprising that they mobilized their forces there. “It’s a little dangerous for the Ukrainians, because the Russians can follow them.” – Kankian says.
No M-1, T-72
The expert says the West will continue to arm Ukraine.
“The President of Ukraine is Volodymyr Zelensky NATOs plane and he was talking about getting one percent of his tanks. However, training programs and maintenance programs for equipment they do not use take months, if not years. That’s it according to You will not see US-made M-1 tanks in Ukraine.
But on the other hand, it makes more sense to send them T-72 tanks. I think that the Polish MiG-29 will one day appear in Ukraine. The United States hinted at a press conference that it was not preparing for the transfer. They are doing it quietly, as they did with the T-72s, they didn’t say where they came from, they just appeared in Ukraine. “ – Kankian said.
The main issue is the supply of ammunition
Wouldn’t the new weapons give Ukraine an advantage in the coming weeks? The analyst says the main issue in the battle is the supply of ammunition.
“The only tank in the West and It is terribly important to send artillery shells, bullets, daily supplies, not anti-aircraft weapons, because it allows the Ukrainians to continue fighting… Tanks and Large equipment such as aircraft attracts attention, they also need to be sent, but the most important thing is to ensure the flow of ammunition.
Pay attention, note, notice, please note that, Russians do not receive this supply. They have to bring shells and ammunition from other parts of the country, and they do not produce them at such a high speed. She according to And when their supply runs out, the Ukrainians will continue. “ – Kankian stressed.
Russia to Ukraine on February 24 snowbegan a large-scale war. The West has imposed tough financial sanctions on Russia.
