Russia has bombarded Ukraine over recent weeks with a tide of cheap Iran-supplied drones which are destroying the country's energy infrastructure.

Ukraine is at risk of running out of air defense weapons and needs urgent help from the West to defend itself, defense analysts said Monday.RUSI analysts said Kyiv needs more air defense weapons from the West, or risks running out on equipment that have, so far, enabled it to combat Russian air attacks.

"The West must avoid complacency about the need to urgently bolster Ukrainian air-defence capacity," the defense and security think tank RUSI said. Local residents look at parts of an unmanned aerial vehicle, what Ukrainian authorities consider to be an Iranian-made drone Shahed-136, after a Russian drone strike, amid Russia's attack on Ukraine, in Kyiv on Oct. 17, 2022.

In the last few months, however, Russia has deployed hundreds of explosive-carrying drones supplied by Iran that have been used to target Ukraine's energy infrastructure, depriving hundreds of thousands of people of water and electricity as colder temperatures set in.they cost around $20,000 per unit, compared to a cruise missile that can cost several million dollars.

Fake news considering new air defense systems were literally just delivered. No surprise though considering where it's coming from.

Ukraine needs to rid Zelensky.

Iran and DPRK are supporting Russian weapons.

Where did all that money go?

Sit down and talk with Russia. No one is liable to support Ukraine with free weapons and money forever given most of the ppl already feel struggled on the inflation and energy shortage. Don’t be like a crying baby, be pragmatic, ok? ZelenskyyUa

NATO

How come staying neutral without joining NATO and getting to the negotiating table is worse off than completely destroying the country is confounding.

That sucks for Ukraine

Wanna hear a joke? The Russian military! 😆

Negotiate with Russia.

This is code for: We're going to be sending more of your money to Ukraine.

Just ask Israel to help you out. You guys are friends right?

Ukraine should surrender today and negotiate
