When asked how far Vladimir Putin was ready to go in his assault on Ukraine, European Commissioner Thierry Breton delivered a bleak response. “Vladimir Putin knows no bounds,” he told the French press. Weapons must continue to flow into Ukraine.” “We are going through a terrible time,” he continued.

“This is something we see nowadays.

“I understand that many of our member states do not talk much, but they are actively assisting Ukraine.”

“The Ukrainian Defense Minister emphasised the importance of three things: weapons, weapons, and weapons,” he said.

“It is true that these weapons must arrive.

“Some countries announce that the weapons will arrive, others deliver them without publicity.

“The important thing is that the weapons that the Ukrainians need to keep fighting arrive.

“The weapons must keep coming.”

The report comes as Vladimir Putin’s ‘Bear’ nuclear bomber jets cruise dangerously close to Ukraine.

Four of Russia’s dreaded TU-95s were seen flying near to the Ukrainian border in video footage shot over the weekend in Ukraine.

This has been interpreted as an indication that the Kremlin is intensifying its assaults in retaliation to the Mockva battleship’s disaster.

After Kyiv claimed it fired a rocket attack, the warship sank in the Black Sea.

Moscow, on the other hand, maintains the ship was sunk in an accident.

The flagship missile cruiser was claimed to have had around 500 men on board.
