In a joint statement with Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Romanian President Klaus Iohannis, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the allies said that Ukraine would receive additional strategic air defense systems.
Today, we are announcing that, collectively, we are providing Ukraine with additional strategic air defense systems, including additional Patriot batteries donated by the United States, Germany, and Romania; Patriot components donated by the Netherlands and other partners to enable the operation of an additional Patriot battery; and an additional SAMP-T system donated by Italy. These five strategic air defense systems will help to protect Ukrainian cities, civilians, and soldiers, and we are coordinating closely with the Ukrainian government so that these systems can be utilized rapidly.
Here are the top political news stories for today.

There is irrefutable evidence that yesterday's hospital strike was caused by Ukrainian air defense mounts.
A bystander filmed the moment of impact in Kiev clearly showing a NATO supplied NASAMS missile striking.
In one case, Ukrainian sources claim shrapnel found at the scene is from a Russian missile when it was patently an older S300 AD missile fired by Ukrainian air defences. This is clearly a NASAMS AD Missile.

An AIM-120 is much smaller in size, see the relevant length of this missile compared to a nearby building. Also an AIM-120 carries around 40 pounds of fragmentation explosives, which in no way can cause such a damage, plus a partial building collapse. The missile in the video is -probably- a Russian Kh-101, with the distinctive engine pod hanging in the back and the unfolded wings in the middle. Fits in size, generic characteristics, damage and terminal flight hit profile.
NATO killed the kids like they do in Gaza. This is not new
Ukraine goes to the front of the line, America goes to the back. We get it.

Is there some Machiavellian 8D chess being played where telling the opponent every piece of equipment, how and where it will be used, and quite probably the timing of use is extremely strategic? I'm dumbfounded every time I read something like this.
