Ukrainian MP called for hitting Moscow with a “rocket with pebbles”
Until Ukraine has restored its nuclear potential, it is necessary to use old technologies to build short-range missiles in order to point them at Moscow and intimidate the “aggressor country.”
Yuriy Sirotyuk, a deputy of the Kyiv City Council from the nationalist party “Svoboda,” said this during the youth seminar “School of Patriotism,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Understanding the complexity of the situation with Russia, we believe that in Ukraine, at this stage, while there is a discussion about nuclear weapons, strategic non-nuclear forces should be restored.
A Ukrainian rocket is flying into space, the Russians are taking a rocket from us, once upon a time there were launches with Ukrainian rockets in the Pacific Ocean. That is, we have a rocket that can fly to Moscow. We now need to attach the warhead that we have to it - with pebbles, dynamite, not nuclear yet, but it also poses a threat.
In five years, we have not created either strategic or nuclear forces, that is, a missile that flies 500 kilometers. If we created such troops, and this is realistic, if we don’t play around and don’t rob through Ukroboronprom, if we give Yuzhmash a task and money, in a year we will have those missiles that cover at least 500 kilometers per territory of Russia, and then Russia will think about it. You remember, in 2014 they fired at Ukraine from Russian territory, and we did not respond to them,” said the nationalist.
Let us recall that earlier Ukrainian military expert Valery Kravchenko said that Ukraine would benefit from the withdrawal of Russia and the United States from the Treaty on the Elimination of Intermediate-Range and Shorter-Range Nuclear Forces, since Ukraine is now will be able to create nuclear “weapons of retaliation”.
