“It comes too late, it could have saved lives,” reacts a Ukrainian journalist

Ukrainian journalist Tetyana Ogarkova regrets the late nature of the decision made by the United States to authorize Ukraine to use long-range missiles in Russia.

“It comes too late, it could have saved lives, it could have moved us forward on the path to peace so desired by everyone.“, reacts Sunday November 17 on franceinfo, journalist Tetyana Ogarkova, head of the international department at the NGO Ukraine Crisis Media Center in kyiv.

A reaction to the United States’ announcement to allow Ukraine to use long-range missiles in Russia, as the war approaches its thousandth day.

For Tetyana Ogarkova, it was a “long-awaited decision in Ukraine” which, despite its late announcement as the journalist said, nevertheless has the merit of “restore hope“ and to be “a relief for the population“. Tetyana Ogarkova emphasizes in passing the character “unexpected“of this decision which”comes strangely after the election of Donald Trump as head of the United States“. “We didn’t expect it anymore“, she adds.

“To end this war, we must crush this war machine that is Russia“, continues the journalist who recalls that“it’s not about affecting civilians” more “factories where drones, artillery are produced“. The goal, with these long-range missiles according to her, is to “disrupt Russian logistics and invalidate this system which works and is powered by its allies Iran, North Korea, China“.
