There cannot be any lasting peace between Russia and Ukraine until Russia recognizes the right of the Ukrainian nation to exist. Russia considers Ukraine to be her rebellious province.

“US to send precision bomb kits and Patriot missiles in next Ukraine aid package, officials say”

“The US is expected to send Ukraine precision bomb kits that will turn existing unguided munitions, or “dumb” bombs, into precision-guided “smart” bombs known as Joint Direct Attack Munitions, or JDAMs, according to multiple US officials.

The kits add fins and a precision guidance system to the “dumb” munitions. They are expected to be included in the next security aid package to Ukraine as soon as this week, the sources said, though officials did not say how many JDAMs would be provided, or what specific type.

The precision bombs could help Ukraine attack fixed Russian defensive lines or other large targets. But they need to be dropped from fighter jets, which remains a significant challenge because of Russia’s own air defenses.”
