Nato countries to boost Ukraine’s missile defence after major Russian strikes – BBC News

Ukraine's Nato-led allies have announced deliveries of advanced air defence weapons to Kyiv after a spate of Russian missile strikes.

The weaponry promised by the UK, Canada, France and the Netherlands includes missiles and radars.

The United Nations General Assembly has also voted overwhelmingly to condemn Russia's attempts to annex four regions of Ukraine.

As countries showed support, details have emerged of conditions faced by Ukrainian fighters who surrendered after weeks besieged deep under the Azovstal steelworks in the port city of Mariupol.

After WW2, the English and Germans agreed that things that happened in Coventry and Dresden should never happen again. I am appalled to see this in Ukraine.

Can we just give some support to that guy reporting in Ukraine, just a few days ago a missile flew past him, he's a champ

Oh my goodness, I can see the truth of Ilia’s pain right in his eyes. As an ex commissioned officer myself, i could even feel it in my teeth and bones when he spoke about the ones left behind and how they’re subject to torture!!

Condolences to all deceased innocent Ukrainians who lost lives in this war

Not surprised South African government didn't want to be involved. Here in South Africa they do the same thing.

Illia Samoilenko is truly one of the greatest heroes of Ukraine. One of so many heroes. His survival is a miracle. Furthermore, he is important witness as to proof the brutal violation of international laws by Russia.

Dear Vlad Putins : Thank you for being the single best Arms and Weapons Provider to Ukraine as well as being the single best RECRUITER for NATO/OTAN membership with once neutral Sweden and Finland signing up and soon joining NATO. Hopefully now Ukraine will follow suit and join NATO. We couldn't have done it without you and once again, thank you, personally. In appreciation with sent you a Special Operations 70th Birthday gift and present that we think you will appreciate. Sincerely your, the FREE and Independent people of Ukraine.

The Iranian drones are significantly less technologically equipped than even Hitler’s WW2 buzz bombs, the V1’s. Still deadly when they hit but it makes you wonder about Irans nuclear program and just how safe it is 😮😮😮

Thanks for the report on which nations supported Ukraine vs those supporting Russian war crimes and those who didn't care. I'll share this with friends and check which country items are made in before purchasing.

I heard a song that made me feel the reality of this war it's a song called, -One Tin Soldier. It has since made me hope that soon Russians in the military hear this song and find a way to convince their government to stop this sad war.

Bring in the Iron Dome system that Israel uses.

Give a bully an inch and he'll take a country. The Crimea was a great example.
