Russia has said it will treat arms shipments to Ukraine from Nato countries as “legitimate targets” for military action in a dangerous new escalation of tensions.
The warning from the deputy foreign minister, Sergei Ryabkov, came as supporters of Ukraine, including the UK, Germany and the United States, have been urgently shipping thousands of anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles to Kyiv in response to Moscow’s aggression.
Ryabkov said that Russia had “warned the US that pumping weapons from a number of countries it orchestrates isn’t just a dangerous move, it’s an action that makes those convoys legitimate targets”.
Volodymyr Zelenskiy, the Ukrainian president, disclosed that at least 1,300 of his country’s troops have been killed in the conflict so far in the first estimate of Ukraine’s combat losses after almost three weeks of fighting. Ukraine has claimed to have killed some 12,000 Russian troops.
Heavy fighting continued across Ukraine. The French president Emmanuel Macron and German chancellor Olaf Scholz reported that Vladimir Putin showed no willingness to end the war after a phone call between the leaders in which they renewed a call for a ceasefire and negotiations. A statement from the office of the French president described the conversation with the Russian leader as “very frank and also difficult”.
Russian forces continued to pulverise the besieged port city of Mariupol, shelling a mosque sheltering more than 80 people, including children, the Ukrainian government said on Saturday, while fighting also raged on the outskirts of Kyiv.
In several areas around the capital artillery barrages sent residents scurrying for shelter and air raid sirens wailed. Britain’s Ministry of Defence said that Russian ground forces massed north of Kyiv had now edged to within 15 miles of the city centre as their attempt to encircle it ground on.
Columns of smoke were seen rising over the southwest of the city after a strike on an ammunition depot in the town of Vasylkiv.
In the south, Ukraine’s military said that Russian forces captured Mariupol’s eastern outskirts, tightening the armed squeeze on the strategic port. Taking Mariupol and other ports on the Azov Sea could allow Russia to establish a land corridor to Crimea, which it seized from Ukraine in 2014.
About 12 hours ago, IRGC launched a ballistic missile attack on Mossad targets in Erbil of Iraq. This is not the first time and Erbil has been a favorite location for Mossad for spying and directing sabotage/assassination operations inside Iran.
Having perfect intelligence on US/Zionist moves in the region, IRGC for the 4th time attacks Zionist targets in Erbil of Iraq.
This is called “flexible response” in deterrence doctrine. The ability to choose your retaliation from a long list ensures your enemy is greatly surprised. But according to msm propaganda, as usual:
1- These were “dumb rockets” as opposed to “smart missiles”.
2- US had information beforehand!
3- Unfortunately US had no missile defense in place!
4- These were some “astray” rockets that “fall” in the “vicinity” of US consulate, in some arid empty land!.
5- No one was killed, some babies were born too during the attack!
The truth however is that Iran’s short-range Fateh 110/313 missiles have pin-point accuracy and are better than Russian Iskandar short-range missile currently used in Ukraine.
Any distraction and attack on US/NATO/ZIONISTS also benefits Russia, however despite what the MSM wants people of the region to believe, this attack was not in coordination with Russia and was in fact an independent IRGC attack as a retaliation for the Israel attack that killed two Iranians in Syria.
Israel was expecting retaliation in their own territories, but Iran would directly attack Zionist Regime only when they attack Iran directly, so naturally Iran responded in Erbil. Watch out for news of sudden collapse of US and Mossad commanders, personnel etc… suddenly collapsing in a routine training in the coming days!!!: )
I skimmed the above article but I don`t believe what the guatdian says as it is pure undiluted ptopaganda . The West knows that supplying weapons to one side during a conflict means you are actively taking part and become a legitimate target . It is obviously being done to escalate the situation and turn this into WW3 which is the aim of the USA / UK . The EU have gone along with this but are now slowly withdrawing their support as they know they are directly in the firing line and will become the battle ground as in previous wars.
It is good for Russia to get in the swing of being serious since the USA and all Western Europe decided they do not want to live any more and just be Third World chattels.
Perhaps Russia’s hypersonic missiles will wipe out western arms manufacturing sites and CEOs as other missiles wipe out political and military infrastructure and personnel. Take out the fat cats and big dogs.
The war is getting hot. NATO the bully has already got a bloody nose. The one being bullied is having no more of it.
Looks like that includes Iran too.
Isn’t it interesting listening to the enemy war transmissions?
The Zionist media is not going to recover from this?
There will never be peace in this area of the world until the grip of Jewish financial corrupt system has been eradicated , the people of other countries such as Australia and NZ ,Canada the UK and the US urgently need to examine and restructure their own political establishments to ensure that their countries are controlled by the people and not the corrupted Zionist agenda .
Snipper,
I agree. Every country should have full control of all money creation in their countries – not private fiat globalist central banks creating unpayable and corrupting debt – and thereby every country as a slave to them.
> the people of other countries such as Australia and NZ ,Canada the UK and the US urgently need to examine and restructure their own political establishments to ensure that their countries are controlled by the people and not the corrupted Zionist agenda .
LOL. Well, I’d like to ‘examine’ each and every one of the ‘government’ with a large axe — but unfortunately they’re paying all my tax money to goons with guns to prevent me doing it.
My sentence construction wrong–I meant the West does not want to live as humans any more but has chosen to be Third Worlders, mere chattels, so I may as well let Russia see if it can do any better.
Seized Crimea from Ukraine!!! when over 95% voted to go back to Russia. What Clown wrote this load of shit, must be a fucking Kike cunt. Sooner that Kike Country gets blitzed the better, then we can get back to living in peace with each other…
to Axe Tax: they don’t need your tax money. They have a money tree known as central banking to supply them with all the wealth they desire. The complex tax system is just a means to keep you in fear of govt, barely treading water, and totally confused. First the Fed, then the IRS.
