Yesterday, Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine, Iryna Vereshchuk, asked Ukrainians to leave Crimea if possible.

Ukraine has been targeting Russian military installations and every major military target in Crimea, almost every other day. The sounds are already deafening, and the sound levels are soon going to reach a crescendo.

President Biden, after clearly laying out his negotiating boundaries during his speech to the UN General Assembly, made another significant decision this week: He told world leaders that he is not interested in giving Ukrainian land for Putin’s peace and President Zelensky that he will deliver the crucial Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) to help Ukraine.

There is no official confirmation from the White House. But I believe, very firmly, that ATACMS is heading to Ukraine. Almost every major publication has announced some form of confirmation in that regard. If the Biden administration was still sitting on top of the White House wall, they would have quelled the media reports. Neither did they say anything, nor the Ukrainian officials who were in Washington D.C, this week had anything to say to the contrary.
