“Then let’s Tomahawk”: the people’s deputy responded to the West regarding the ban on attacks on Russian refineries

The United States of America is against Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries. They say this affects energy markets. However, it is worth doing everything to ensure that the enemy loses. And an enemy like Russia cannot be defeated only on the battlefield.

About this < strong>24 Channel said MP, Secretary of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security Roman Kostenko, noting that the enemy’s entire resource is being formed on Russian territory. But destroying it already on Ukrainian territory is quite difficult. Let's note that the head of the Pentagon advised Ukraine to focus on defeating other targets. in battle, and destroy it, rather than making sure it simply doesn’t leave the hangar,” Kostenko emphasized.

It’s important to destroy economy and resources that influence Russia's war against Ukraine. Oil and fuel are among this.

The issue of diplomacy

Ukrainian military obliged to hit there are more occupiers behind the lines than they do now. The people’s deputy noted that the funds they have do not cause as much harm as they would like. In order to inflict irrevocable losses on the enemy, missiles are needed. The Ukrainian military-industrial complex is currently working on this. This will give parity to Ukraine.

As for, the partners “want or they don’t want to,” this is already a matter of diplomacy. For example, if our partners tell us: “You don’t hit refineries, but we give you Tomahawk missiles that fly 1000 kilometers. You don’t shoot them, but only shoot back.” If they could establish this parity, one would think,” said the secretary of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security.

A long-range missile for Ukraine is weapons of deterrence against Russia on par with air defense. This is a guarantee that the Russians will know that if they hit Ukraine, they will receive 10 times the blow.

“If now the simple question is: “Let us not give you anything, you won’t hit the oil refinery,” and at the same time our guys on the front line have to burn tanks, they are being shelled with artillery, then no, that’s diplomacy doesn’t work,” noted Roman Kostenko.

The answer will be

The Economist wrote that Ukraine ignores US warnings about the use of UAVs in Russia and continues to produce drones that can even fly to Siberia.

“I think they (Russians – Channel 24) even without striking at the rear of our country understand that they will receive an answer every day,” the people's deputy noted.

USA against Ukrainian attacks on oil refineries in Russia: reactions

• Member of the European Parliament from Germany Viola von Cramon-Taubadel said that the US demand not to hit Russian refineries is absolutely unacceptable. Especially due to the fact that the price of oil may rise, because it talks about the existence of Ukraine.
• French Foreign Minister Stephane Sejournet is convinced that Ukraine is legitimately defending itself. He added that Ukrainians act at their own discretion in self-defense. And Russia is the aggressor.
• National Security and Defense Council Secretary Alexander Litvinenko noted that attacks on Russian oil refineries and airfields are one of the ways to stop Vladimir Putin’s intentions. Such attacks should show Russians and the Russian elite that continuing the war against Ukraine is an expensive indulgence. Like, it’s cheaper to stop it.
