- Stop microchip flow to Russia

Time is on Russia's side: Trypilska Thermal Power Plant just outside Kyiv was destroyed with a Kh-69 cruise missile, which flies at 20m above the ground, launched from Sukhoi jets. Range 186 miles, 310kg warhead. Russia did not even have this missile before the 2022 invasion.

The West must understand that time is on Putin's side. We must arm #Ukraine now, before it's too late. Tanks and planes, everything else.
Alexander S. Vindman ❎, Condoleezza Rice, and former Republican Secretary of Defense Robert Gates implore action now.
