 It's time to discuss sending Western troops to Ukraine, Lithuanian MFA. Now is the right time to discuss the possibility of sending troops from Western countries to help Ukraine, says Gabriellus Landsbergis, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania in an interview with Quest France. He was asked to comment on the fact that French President Emmanuel Macron's statement about the possible sending of Western troops to Ukraine has sparked serious debates. Now is the time for discussion. The beginning of the conversation destroys the self-imposed red lines, Landsbergis replied. He emphasised that none of the capitals is too far from Kiev for the army of the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. Some of us may feel safe being far away, but the geographic fact is this, the Ukrainian front line can be compared to the distance between Vilnius and London. If the Ukrainians no longer defended this line, imagine how it could end. This concerns all of us, the Foreign Minister added. At the end of February this year, French President Emmanuel Macron did not rule out sending Western troops to help Ukraine. However, he clarified that there is no consensus on this issue. Russian President Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Paris' activity in trying to put together a coalition of those who are ready to send troops to Ukraine is a direct line to escalating tension. Of course, in general, the expansion of the discussion and the persistent activity of Paris in attempts to put together a coalition of countries that declare a hypothetical readiness to send certain contingents, of course, is nothing more than a direct line to escalate tension, this is a very dangerous line. Very dangerous and, of course, it could potentially have very undesirable consequences, he said. Russia's glide bombs give its Air Force new power in Ukraine, FAB-1500 is hell. Russia's Air Force has dramatically boosted its effectiveness in the Ukraine war, with its increased use of glide bombs contributing to Moscow's recent battlefield successes according to Western experts and according to the Washington Post. It is noted that the plentiful Soviet-era bombs, which carry up to half a tonne of explosives, has been fitted with wings and guidance systems to fly long distances with some accuracy, allowing the Russian jets that release them to operate away from Ukrainian anti-aircraft systems. Along with Russian drones, missiles and artillery, the glide bombs have added new destructive firepower to Russia's campaign in eastern Ukraine as seen in the recent conquest of the city of Abdiivka, Russia's first major victory in recent days. Earlier, CNN reported that Russia has begun using a powerful aerial bomb that has decimated Ukrainian defences and tilted the balance on the front lines. It has done so by converting a basic Soviet-era weapon into a gliding bomb that can cause a crater 15 meters wide. The bomb is the FAB-1500, essentially a 1.5 tonne weapon of which nearly half comprises high explosives. It is delivered from above by fighter jets from a distance of some 60 to 70 kilometres out of range of many Ukrainian air defences. The FAB-1500 is another example of how Russia is fighting its war in Ukraine, inflicting massive destruction before trying to take territory. The FAB-1500 is directed towards its targets by a guidance system and pop-out wings that allow it to glide towards its target. One soldier from Ukraine's 46th Separate Air Mobile Brigade told CNN from the frontline town of Krasno-Horivka in Donetsk, previously, we were only shelled with artillery. Now, the Russians have taken on the town more aggressively and started using air force assets, particularly the FAB-1500. Why are they using the FAB-1500? Because the damage done by it is very serious. If you survive, you are guaranteed to have a contusion. It puts a lot of pressure on soldiers' morale. The FAB-1500 is hell. So, guys, come on. What? Come on, come on. There's nothing at all. There's no FAB-76 at all. There's no FAB-76 at all. 86, 86, there's no FAB-76. It's not going through. 86, there's no FAB-76 at all. Fuck.
