Explaining complex things in simple words: adoption of the bill on support of Ukraine, fighting against russian missile terror, attempts of russian revenge in Moldova

ADOPTION OF THE BILL ON SUPPORT OF UKRAINE

On April 20, the House of Representatives of the U.S. Congress passed by 311 votes a bill on providing almost $61 billion in support to Ukraine.

The long-awaited decision turned out to be more powerful than previous versions of the draft bill. We are grateful the congressmen for their work on this extremely important document for Ukraine.

Most part of the aid package ($49.9 billion) will be allocated to defense spending. This is the top priority today. After all, military aid will really strengthen the stability of Ukraine and create potential opportunities for victory.

We are waiting for the completion of all legal procedures for the adoption of the bill: a positive voting in the U.S. Senate on April 23 and entry into force as soon as possible after signing by President Joe Biden.

We expect that the first arms deliveries to Ukraine will take place in the coming weeks after the final approval of the document.

First of all, Ukraine needs scarce weapons that can change the balance of forces at the front: artillery, long-range ATACMS missiles, anti-aircraft defense, and ammunition.

FIGHTING AGAINST RUSSIAN MISSILE TERROR

On April 19, the Defense Forces of Ukraine destroyed a Russian Tu-22M3 strategic bomber

Ukraine opened the score of destruction the enemy strategic bombers in the sky. Before that, the Defense Forces managed to successfully attack them only at airfields.

Russian aircraft was hit at a distance of more than 300 km, which is a significant achievement of our Air Force and the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine.

Russia uses Tu-22M3 aircraft to attack Ukrainian cities with X-22 missiles, which are difficult to intercept, causing extensive destruction to housing and infrastructure.

The successful operation on April 19 against the enemy's strategic aircraft significantly reduced the missile threat to Odesa and other cities in southern Ukraine and served as a warning to Russian pilots.

Defense Forces of Ukraine are increasing their capabilities to repel the Russian aggressor. We will not leave any act of Russian terror unpunished.

ATTEMPTS OF RUSSIAN REVENGE IN MOLDOVA

On April 21, the constituent assembly of the opposition political bloc of Moldova

"Victory" was held in Moscow

Moldova is a close neighbor of Ukraine, and we need to develop a mutually beneficial partnership both in a bilateral format and in the global geopolitical dimension.

Both Ukraine and Moldova have a similar vector of integration into the EU, and the pro-Western democratic course opens up prospects for the societies of both countries.

We also have a common enemy. Russia threatens both Ukraine and Moldova. These are both an attempt on territorial integrity and an attempt to return both countries to the totalitarian past.

If the "opposition" of the country gathers in Moscow and is in close contact with the Kremlin, then it is not about freedom and democracy, but about subversive activities against statehood. Ukraine also faced a similar situation.

We are convinced that the mutual support of our states will help both Ukraine and Moldova overcome the current difficulties and become a successful tandem of the European community in the near future.

Ukraine supports the current democratic authorities of Moldova.
