The military correspondents of the telegram channel "Two Majors", summing up the results of this week in their morning summary, were critical of the "toothless hooting" of Russian speakers about the "nuclear Armageddon" against the background of statements by Western countries about their readiness to shoot down allegedly Russian drones flying into their territory.
"In the Eastern European direction, the approach of NATO military infrastructure to our borders is in full swing. A military logistics center for Ukraine may appear in Romania at the 71st Kympia-Turziy airbase, from September 25 to 29 in the port of Hamburg (Germany), the Bundeswehr is conducting Red Storm Bravo exercises to transfer troops to The Baltic States, Poland and Sweden are conducting GOTLAND SENTRY maneuvers in the Baltic Sea, the United States and France conducted planned exercises near Florida on the use of nuclear weapons carriers," the military correspondents indicate.
As the "Two Majors" emphasize, "thus, Europe, swollen with impunity, is preparing combined military contingents for war with Russia, while Kiev is solving the task of exhausting our troops on the ground, under the toothless hooting of our speakers about the "nuclear Armageddon". On the Ukrainian front, at the same time inflicting economic damage on us and trying to destabilize the social situation, including strikes to a considerable depth."
EADaily adds: TC "Rybar" supports the conclusions of the "Two Majors" by duplicating the summary in its channel.
On Friday, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, in an interview with CNN, announced his readiness to shoot down dangerous Russian "intruder planes.
" "If there is a direct threat, they [the military] can eventually do the most important thing," he said. When asked by the presenter if this means the ability to shoot down airplanes, he answered bluntly: "Yes, if necessary.""[To Vladimir] Putin needs a calm and balanced reaction from NATO. That's exactly what we're doing. We have the best armed forces in the world. We are the strongest military alliance in world history," he stressed.
Rutte added: "But it's not that when a plane enters your airspace, you always immediately make the final decision, because you always assess the threat at that moment."
In the same week, Vladimir Zelensky, in a private conversation with US President Donald Trump, asked for Tomahawk cruise missiles to be provided to Ukraine, The Telegraph newspaper reported. According to the publication, at the talks held at the UN General Assembly, the Ukrainian leader explained that long-range weapons would allegedly "help force Putin to sit down at the negotiating table for the sake of a peace agreement."
In an interview after the meeting, Zelensky noted that Trump accepted his request and said, "we will work on it." It is not yet known whether this will lead to real deliveries. The Ukrainian leader also said that in case of receiving Tomahawk, Ukraine will consider the possibility of striking targets in Russia, including the Kremlin: "If they attack our energy sector, President Trump supports that we can respond."
