Polymeropoulos: When We Stopped Providing ‘Targeting Packages’ to the Ukrainians that Means They Can’t Hit Forces Inside Occupied Ukraine
RUSH EXCERPT:
POLYMEROPOULOS: "Well, Rachel, you know, the us has been an incredible ally of, of Ukraine in the past, providing so many different things, not only, as you said, you know, military ordnance equipment, but also key intelligence. And, and when we stopped providing these targeting packages to the Ukrainians, that means that they can’t hit, you know, either Russian forces inside Russian occupied Ukraine or in Russia itself. And the result is the Russians will be able to then attack civilians in Ukrainian cities, or, of course, Ukrainian military targets. But let’s be very clear, Ukrainians are going to die because of this. And I think that’s why this is absolutely so stunning. Again, an ally, you know, that we kind of we were with side by side for a decade. We’ve now abandoned and Ukrainians who we were supporting who we were with against again in the trenches are really going to suffer. So it’s an incredible moral injury for the U.S. intelligence community. But of course, it’s incredibly damaging for the Ukrainians who are going to suffer. And we saw that over the last several days with the results of, you know, these these increased Russian drone and missile strikes."
