Going to be interesting to find out which buildings they used to shoot down those missiles.
Jokes aside this would be a monumental task as cruise missiles fly too low to be detected by radar giving you only a very small window to shoot them down when they gain altitude before impact.
Even worse I'd imagine most if not all Storm Shadow strikes are accompanied by American MALD missiles. (cheap decoys)
Ukr doesn't even have much cruise missiles to afford to use them on buildings, headquarters or no ( officers Russia will replace quickly and without problems ).
France and U.K had supplied Ukr cruise missiles in hope that they might be usable to hit large ammunition depots etc.

Then there a bit about Slovakia and " supplies " ....
Slovakia had supplied very generously if to take in account their weapons etc stockpile....
.
Then Ukr started to talk about money they will need for reconstruction
...a lot of money.
Slovakia does have problems with budget deficite and angry taxpayers. EU is pressuring them to reduce budget deficite and state Treasury debt ....
So ....they told that Ukr doesn't needs their money to be spent on assistance for Ukr ...nor financial nor military supplies.
While IF Ukraine or someone else will pay money, they might manufacture stuff and allow to sent this to Ukr.
Now Money and after this ...supplies.
Also I agree that reality is this: to sign warrant letters for Ukr loans they are asking from IMF, WB, IBRD, EBRD is not fun
.
Not alone to talk that macro financial assistance injections and direct grants are paid from ...taxpayers money and with increase of State Treasury debt, taxes etc...

Warrant letter I mean = you sign guarantee type treaty with lender ...about xxxxx sum that IF Ukraine will not pay out debt then YOU will pay.
WB members countries usually are doing this in rare cases when borrower does have bad credit ranking...and according to your country economy size.
It isn't fun at all.

Ukraine currently is asking for:
Grants...
Macro financial assistance.
Loans.
Warrant letters etc type stuff.
Plus IF in the same time they are talking about additional money for reconstruction they will ask for in top on all this .....then....

Israel not only didn't had supplied military aid to Ukraine .... This might be easy to understand that they can't afford to deplete their own stockpile....and actually should increase their weapons and ammo stockpile.
Worse.
They like Switzerland didn't had signed re export permits for weapons they already had sold to other countries ....in order not to worry comrades in Russia.
Russia still is supporting Iran and Co and Israel is getting shells on their heads.
They forget that they aren't Switzerland due to location and reality that Kremlin does have proven long track record to breach treaties and contracts. Like Hitler too had....

Your Texas congress people are likely celebrating way to hard over the new congressional head I know Putler is.
Yeah.
U.S literally had sold Ukraine and dreamer in Zelensky and idiots from one political party in Ukraine.
Zelensky better should had agreed on everything Putin will demand cos Ukr is lost game.
They had lost and better had applied to be incorporated in this crazy Russia.
Why not.
Congress and Senate will vote for Israel support package 14,3 b relatively soon, while for dreamers in Ukraine ....later...
Basic things: currently conditions are that dreamers will not be able to keep Luhansk and Donetsk oblastj IF supplies will be like now.
Then if situation will not improve then Russia will manage also to take Zaporozia and Kherson oblastjs and sorry for reality also Odessa and Odessa oblastj.
Europe too does have a lot of problems and also problems in decision making ....and not likely cares about Realpolitik.
Iran+ Belarus+North Korea and Russia had get upper hand in this game and China is watching with pleasure....

Not saying these things are tied together but the Google Co-founder "Who is Russia" returned to CTO of their AI division but now things seeming tied to Putin is getting removed by Google. There are a number of people who where early funders of Google who are Russian Oligarchs now seems things about them removed. If there is anything unusual Google should be slammed with Government suits.
