⚡️ Stoltenberg warns Russia against attacks on arms supply to Ukraine.

“If there is any attack against any NATO country, NATO territory, that will trigger Article 5,” NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said.

Provide US A-10 ground-attack aircraft – currently scheduled to be mothballed – to Ukraine as Excess Defense Articles. Thanks to prior military exchange programs, Ukraine already has a small number of pilots trained to fly the A-10. If spare parts and maintenance are required, use part of the US $1bn funding to allow Ukraine to hire private contractors, rather than involving US personnel directly.

President Zelenskyy has repeatedly made the same request: help Ukraine equalize its air power disadvantage. This may be a protracted war. Joined fellow @usairforce vet @RepHoulahan in urging @SecAFOfficial to immediately explore transferring US air assets to #Ukraine. Our letter:

The only electrical grid supplying the Chornobyl NPP and all its nuclear facilities occupied by Russian army is damaged. CNPP lost all electric supply. I call on the international community to urgently demand Russia to cease fire and allow repair units to restore power supply 1/2

Reserve diesel generators have a 48-hour capacity to power the Chornobyl NPP. After that, cooling systems of the storage facility for spent nuclear fuel will stop, making radiation leaks imminent. Putin’s barbaric war puts entire Europe in danger. He must stop it immediately! 2/2

If you believe Putin will use nukes if he loses, then we should stop helping Ukraine now. If you believe he won’t, then we have to maximize weapons transfers to Ukraine so its military can win. Giving them javelins, stingers, and helicopters but not jets is a STUPID line to draw.

The Pentagon rejected a surprise announcement from Poland that it would give the United States its MiG-29 fighter jets for use by Ukraine. A transfer of the MiGs to Ukraine is fraught with complications and could further inflame tensions with Russia.

⚡️ Poland to supply the U.S. with its entire stockpile of MIG-29 jets, free of charge.

The planes are then expected to be shipped to Ukraine.

The Polish government asked other NATO members to follow the country’s example.
