British Defence Secretary Ben Wallace announced that the UK will send its first long-range missiles to Ukraine despite a threat by Russian President Vladimir Putin to the West against the delivery of these weapons to Kiev.In a statement late Sunday, Wallace said: "As Russia's tactics change, so must our support to Ukraine. These highly capable multiple-launch rocket systems will enable our Ukrainian friends to better protect themselves against the brutal use of long-range artillery, which Putin's forces have used indiscriminately to flatten cities."
He said that the UK is supplying "vital weapons they (Ukrainians) need to defend their country from unprovoked invasion", the BBC reported.

There is good money in that war thing! Kill, kill and kill some more and the killing will continue until morale improves.
The target is the city
The civilian infrastructure
The bombs ( cluster bombs) and shells are from Ukraine
Which the ukes have been doing since 2014
Please keep up with the news
The news is covering the 24/7 bombardment
However…laughably…blaming it on Russia
So you would have to believe that the Russians are bombing their own troops and DPR allies
One reason Donetsk is being harshly punished right now
