NATO Ally Pledges All Its Artillery to Ukraine in Boost for Kyiv
Newsweak ^ | February 18, 2024 | Ellie Cook

Denmark has pledged its "entire artillery" stocks to Ukraine, the country's leader has said, as Kyiv issued renewed pleas for all-important military aid in the face of Russian gains in the east of the country.

"They are asking us for ammunition now, artillery now," Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, said during the Munich Security Conference in Germany. "From the Danish side, we decided to donate our entire artillery."

Artillery has dominated the nearly two years of war between Russia and Ukraine, but Kyiv has depleted its ammunition stockpiles and fires far fewer rounds than Russia each day. It has been firing around a fifth of the shells Moscow's artillery batteries have been burning through.

Artillery and its associated ammunition have featured high on Ukraine's wish list of aid from its Western backers. Analysts and Ukrainian officials have suggested the shortages have constrained Kyiv's plans for its operations along the front lines.

But sending shells has depleted NATO stockpiles, and nations within the alliance have committed to upping ammunition production.

LOL - Good find. That was then (Feb 9th) and nine days later they give away ALL their artillery. So much for their belief in the validity of their Feb 9th statement that “The Russians are Coming! The Russians are Coming!”.

They ought to make a movie about that. Oh, wait. They already did.

Putin is a psychopathic mass murderer and already has announced his designs on additional countries.

Link? Not saying you're making things up like some people, but I'd like to see the same info you did before writing that.

The Federal Republic of Germany (“Germany”) and Ukraine, hereinafter “the Participants”, condemn in the strongest possible terms the unjustified, unprovoked, illegal and brutal war of aggression by Russia against Ukraine, by which Russia seriously violates international law, including the UN Charter.

Germany is unwavering in its support for Ukraine's independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity within borders, which have been internationally recognised since 1991, including the territorial sea and free economic (maritime) zone.

Yes, you are correct about NATO.

And the U.N. and the WEF, and the US Department of State, and some portion of the US Military, and almost all of the vast Intelligence Community.

This is all about destroying the USA and private property and to Capitalism.

Good analysis...trying to support a position on the opposite side of the Dneiper from your main supply lines is difficult, as the Dills found out themselves this fall.

An old fortress gives the Kriegsmarine a nasty surprise. They had the range dialed in, game over.


For those who haven’t yet watched. The fort was barely manned by recent draftees. Not enough men to man all three guns and could fire the other two only once. In addition the fort had a torpedo battery using Whitehead torpedos from Austria-Hungary.

This gave the Norwegian government, King, and gold reserves enough time to get out of Norway.

It was not unprovoked. You are just mad because you just lost the key fortress town that shelled ethnic Russians for the last 10 years in Donbass. You know, these types of people who relished the thought of it on public TV over there.

You’ll be paying a lot more in the years to come if China, Russia and Iran aren’t held in check now, and all it takes is spending a relatively small amount of cash to ensure Russia is humiliated and therefore dissuaded from using military force in future.

Only reason the Houthis have dared to effectively close the Suez canal to shipping is because they’ve been emboldened by American weakness. That alone is costing the economy untold billions and it gets worse the longer it goes on.

You know what pal, many people including me have posted numerous exact quotes by Putin and other Russian officials for the last two years.

But you want my comments to be footnoted like a doctoral thesis.

Maybe learn something yourself or look it up.

Not everyone here is Christian, conservative, or American. So speak for yourself although you don’t live here.

Just because real Americans don’t want any part of the involvement in Ukraine does not make them KGB, and lovers of Iran, NK, China, and Hamas. You knucklehead.

The stupid with you Zeepers burns.

Since it was not unprovoked it therefore is not unjustified or illegal. I.e., Ukraine, NATO and US did provoke Russia.
