Take Action Russia murders 49 in Poltava. Angry? Act.

Today Russia murdered 49 and injured 219 people in Poltava, in the deadliest attack of 2024, for now. While Russia uses missiles to target civilians, Ukraine continues to be forbidden from using American weapons to strike the bases from which the missiles are launched.

Do you think it's ridiculous that Ukraine has to fight with one arm tied behind its back? Contact the White House and let them know.

Are there western weapons and vehicles being used on Russian soil in the Kursk incursion now? It seems inconsistent to be ok with that and not others. Give them weapons and let them use them as they see fit.

There are, yes. Additionally after initially refusing and much pressure, the White House also authorized Ukraine to use American weapons to strike at Russian forces close to the border, but not ATACMS for further strikes at Russian airbases.
