French President Emmanuel Macron announced on Saturday that France would deliver new interceptor missiles to Kyiv following a major Russian attack on a shopping centre in Kryvyi Rih in central Ukraine.
Ukrainian authorities said Russia launched two waves of drone attacks on the city on Friday, killing at least 16 people and injuring 130 others, including 23 children.
The attack on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s hometown has prompted condemnation from leading figures across Europe, with Kaja Kallas, the EU’s top diplomat, calling it “terror by design.”
In a post on X, Macron said he had spoken with Zelenskyy following the daylight “double strike” on Kryvyi Rih and that he had expressed his “horror” and “deep concern” over the incident.
“It is crucial to provide Ukraine with all the necessary means to defend its airspace and thwart this aggression,” he wrote, adding that he had informed Zelenskyy of Paris’ “increased support, including the deployment of interceptors.”
“We must also continue to increase the pressure on Russia as long as it chooses to refuse to halt the fighting and make peace,” he added.
Zelenskyy said in a separate post that the pair had spoken for close to two hours, touching on Ukraine’s air defence needs, funding, and communications with Washington, among other things.
“We agreed to accelerate the delivery of the latest French equipment and missiles. Thank you for confirming your readiness to provide licenses for the production of missiles,” Zelenskyy wrote.
I had a very good call with @EmmanuelMacron, the President of France. We spoke for almost two hours today about all the most important issues. And this concerns, first and foremost, the need for air defense. We highly appreciate that the President of France is ready to help… pic.twitter.com/1gF00hzCwY

Kyiv has long been pleading with allies for more interceptor missiles as it continues to fend off Russian missile and drone attacks.
Ukraine strikes back
Ukraine launched its own strikes against Russia over the last 24 hours, hitting the Novokuybyshevsk oil refinery, a logistics hub in the Samara region, and targets in the Black Sea, per Zelenskyy.
Kyiv has been ramping up its so-called “long-range sanctions” on Russia in recent months as it seeks to hamper the Russian economy and grind down Vladimir Putin’s war machine.
It has particularly targeted energy infrastructure sites such as oil refineries, depots, and terminals as part of this strategy.
That photo at the top, if it ain’t a picture of two little queers I’ll eat my hat LOL
> Like British Prime Minister Burnham and German Chancellor Merz, French President Macron has agreed to accelerate the delivery of the latest French weapons to Ukraine.
I feel the need to:
Like Tribe Member Burnham and Tribe Member Merz, French Tribe Member Macron has agreed to accelerate the delivery of the latest Tribe weapons to Tribe-owned Ukraine.
There. That feels better.
two jews understanding each other .
Sadiq Khan announces 1,000s more council homes for migrants in London
another massive house building programme in the greyer london area is planned in expectation of a huge arrival of Iranians expelled by israel
stage two is Turkey
Trump has infuriated netanyahu by refusing help to attack turkey
Jew aiding jew in their common goal, and both with the “award” or “bonus” of being able to pocket some additional shekels.
Causing the death of goyim is glory for them and, if as a side effect, they earn some shekels with that too, that’s paradise!
“Kaja Kallas, the EU’s top diplomat, calling it ‘terror by design.’” .. If that moronic cum dumpster prostitute is the jewropean jewnion’s “top diplomat”, things are even worse than we thought. Plus, I always figured her for a bottom, grabbing her ankles and taking it any which way Shlomo wanted to pound it, just like the depraved sodomite Emanhole Micron.
Then there’s the photo of Jewlensky’s office, completely unsullied other than the felch stains on the furniture and carpet from ribald rump romps with his boys. Literally. Rather telling that Chabad Vlad never had the Russian military send a couple missiles screaming through the windows…
Jewlnesky was infinitely more likeable and believable when he played the clown in his comedy skits. Shifting to trying to get imbeciles to take him seriously when he is clearly still just a clown has been quite pathetic and annoying. Just another clown actor, and all the whirled is a stage.
Zelensky is an illegitimate dictator and as soon as Russia’s campaign against Ukraine is over or his own Nazi regime bump him off, the western establishments will want him to drop right out of the news cycle altogether. Even if Putin is still in office and his name must be mentioned in context I think we will hear very little of Zelensky ever again.
