Javelin will come - order will bring. Not really. But the step is historically important, writes on Facebook the Permanent Representative of Ukraine to the Council of Europe, Dmitry Kuleba.

Javelin is a signal to everyone that "you can". You can supply weapons to Ukraine.

Javelin is also a question of narrative in a communicative war.

The supply of such weapons destroys the psychological barrier.

It turns out that if Ukraine is given something high-tech, then the sky will not fall to the ground.



In the narrative about the unlucky Ukrainians, who can not be trusted with nuclear weapons, radars, Hummers and in general any weapon, because of the curb, so much money and political capital has been invested, that one can understand the investor's concern.

Yes, and in general it is beautiful - Putin speaks about missiles with an unpredictable trajectory and then the Pentagon informs that the State Department has agreed the transfer of Dzhavelin with quite predictable trajectory.

Types of weapons are not comparable, but the logic of events is correct. Although frightening.

But this is life. And we must be able to fight for ourselves.
