Republican Congressman Bacon called for providing Ukraine with long-range weapons amid massive Russian attacks

Congressman Bacon calls for transfer of air defense and weapons to Ukraine

Following Russia's latest massive attacks, Don Bacon, a Republican member of the US House of Representatives, called on Washington to strengthen Ukraine's air defenses and transfer long-range weapons to Kyiv.

Bacon wrote about this on social network X, according to Censor.NET.

Statement by the congressman

Bacon noted that Ukraine had managed to halt the advance of the Russian army on the battlefield and that Russian occupation forces had lost some of their positions over the past month.

He also noted Russia's high casualty rate, recalling that Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin "is losing more than 1,000 soldiers a day in his war of choice."

"Therefore, like Hitler, he resorted to bombing cities and terrorizing the civilian population. The US must provide more air defense and long-range weapons," Bacon stressed.

We would like to remind you that on the eve of this, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham called on US President Donald Trump to increase pressure on Russia and consider the urgent transfer of Tomahawk long-range missiles to Ukraine in light of the massive attack on the night of February 3.
