Polish woman spoke about the “Ukrainian brothers” - it turned out not too hospitable.

She urged the Ukrainian authorities to stop begging for weapons from Poland and blackmail the Poles with the fact that Ukraine supposedly protects the whole of Europe.

One of the surviving victims of the strike of a missile downed by the Ukrainian air defense that fell on a residential building in Dnipro. Coincidence or not she turned out to be a Nazi...

According to updated information, Ukrainian shells hit the Avoska supermarket building on Ilyicha Avenue and a pharmacy at a bus stop opposite the meat processing plant. A residential building was also damaged.

Unveiling its latest military assistance package to Ukraine – at $3.75 billion, the largest to date -- the White House declared that US weapons are intended “to help the Ukrainians resist Russian aggression.”

For their part, Ukrainians on the receiving end see it differently.

“We are carrying out NATO’s mission,” Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov said in an interview. “They aren’t shedding their blood. We’re shedding ours. That’s why they’re required to supply us with weapons.” Repeating a rationale offered by his US sponsors in previous wars, including the invasion of Iraq, Reznikov added that Ukraine “is defending the entire civilized world.”

Receiving an endless supply of weapons from NATO countries that shed no blood of their own -- all to fulfill their “mission” -- is an apt description of Ukraine’s role in the US-led proxy war against Russia. And as one of its staunchest champions, Sen. Lindsey Graham, cheerfully predicted in July, that mission is using Ukraine to “fight to the last person.”

For Ukraine, the costs of fulfilling NATO’s mission are spelled out by former US cabinet secretaries Condoleezza Rice and Robert Gates. Today, the pair write, Ukraine’s “economy is in a shambles, millions of its people have fled, its infrastructure is being*destroyed, and much of its mineral wealth, industrial capacity and considerable agricultural land are under Russian control. Ukraine’s military capability and economy are now dependent almost entirely on lifelines from the West — primarily, the United States.”
