“There should be no taboos between us in our alliance.
Ukraine never asked American soldiers to fight on our land instead of us.
I can assure you - Ukrainian troops can perfectly operate American tanks and planes themselves.”
“Financial assist. is also critically important- thank you for both financial packages you have provided and the ones you might be willing to decide on.
Your money is not charity.
It’s an investment into global security and democracy that we handle in the most responsible way”
“russia could stop it’s aggression - *if* it wanted to.
But *you* can speed up our victory.
And it will prove to any potential aggressor that no one can succeed in breaking national borders, committing atrocities and reigning over people against their will.”

“It will be naive to wait for steps towards peace from russia, which enjoys being a terrorist state”
“This flag is the symbol of our victory.
In this war we stand, we fight and we will win because we are united - Ukraine, America and the entire Free Word”
“We estimate that [russians] have a reserve of 1.2m-1.5m people… The russians are preparing some 200,000 fresh troops. I have no doubt they will have another go at Kyiv.” economist.com/zaluzhny-trans…

about russian mobilization:
General Zaluzhnyy about dire need for weapons and ammunition:
“I know that I can beat this enemy. But I need resources. I need 300 tanks, 700 IFVs, 500 Howitzers. Then, I think it is completely realistic to get to the lines of February 23rd. But I can’t do it with two brigades”
“Belarus tries hard to become a legitimate target”.
No. They already are such.
Invasion force moved towards Kyiv from Belarus.
Missiles are launched from Belarus into Ukraine on a constant basis.

There is no question about it.
Belarus is not just “helping russia”, they are actively engaged in war as aggressor, alongside with russia (read: essentially as part of russia)
Now they are also preparing their own ground force component for renewed invasion from the north into🇺🇦
This combined Belarus-russian invasion force, which is in its final stages of preparation, will likely attack southward from Belarus into north of Ukraine.
One of the targets is Rivne Nuclear Power Plant (RNPP) in Varash, in the northwest of Ukraine.
