(Sen. Coons: Russian Aggression ‘Directly Or Indirectly The Cause’ Of Deadly Blast In Poland)
Quote:
Member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Senator Chris Coons (D-DE) joins Andrea Mitchell to discuss the political implications of the deadly blast in Poland that NATO reports did not come from Russia, but from a Ukrainian missile defense system. “We can't lose sight of the fact that it's Russian aggression that is causing this whole problem, this whole challenge that is directly or indirectly the cause of two Polish citizens being killed,” says Coons. “I am so hopeful, Andrea, that in the next few weeks here in this lame duck session, Congress will again support President Biden's initiative and authorize an appropriation of additional funding for Ukraine's fight.”

(How will Ukraine survive attacks on its infrastructure this winter? - BBC Newsnight)
Quote:
Ukrainian air defence systems were activated on Tuesday when Russia launched what is believed to be its biggest wave of missile strikes since its February invasion, targeting cities from Lviv in the west to Chernihiv in the north.
The attack, which occurred during the G20 summit in Indonesia, caused an international outcry. The capital Kyiv was among the cities hit, with officials saying at least one person was found dead.
In recent weeks, millions of Ukrainians have intermittently been left without electricity and water as Russian air strikes target vital infrastructure. Rolling power cuts are also in place to avoid overloads and allow for repairs.
Some 40% of Ukraine's energy system has been damaged or destroyed by Russian attacks on power plants and lines.
Newsnight’s Diplomatic Editor Mark Urban explores what support Ukraine needs from the West to survive this winter and avoid an exodus of refugees.

Bunch of traitors.
It's not like we're literally shipping pallets of $100 dollar bills to Ukraine. We're basically giving them our surplus equipment and munitions, things we'd have to retire eventually anyway, and in exchange they're destroying and exposing the military of our greatest geopolitical foe of the last 80 years, and it's not costing a single American life.
