I strongly support Dan Newlin

This was a horrific night in Kyiv. Over 20 ballistic missiles. At least 11 killed and dozens injured, including children. Protect Ukrainian children from Russian ballistic terror! No task is more urgent. This is our main message to the NATO summit this week. As world leaders are departing for Ankara, I wish they heard what families in Kyiv heard this night. One of the most brutal attacks with dozens of ballistic missiles. A horrific cannonade of loud explosions one after another. Russian terrorists struck sleeping civilians, targeting residential high-rises to maximize casualties. In one of the districts, an entire killed family has been taken out of the rubble: mother, father, and child. Rescue operations continue and sadly, the numbers are likely to grow. Putin’s message to Ankara is simple: he is going to point ballistic missiles at sleeping children and continue the murder as long as he can. What will the leaders of the Alliance respond? This is not the time for weak steps anymore. They will only encourage Moscow to continue and expand terror beyond Ukraine. The strongest outcome of the Ankara Summit is to increase Ukraine’s capabilities to protect our children from Russian ballistic terror. We need real steps. PAC-3 missiles were created to serve the goal of protecting people from such barbarism. There are thousands of them in storage around the world, kept for potential threats. But the threats in Ukraine are not potential! Russian missiles are killing people every week. Ukraine is currently the only country in the world facing ballistic attacks every single week. The means of protection from this terror need to be here. And we need all decisions on air defense now, not later. Because for us, the time is measured in human lives.
