Ukraine will be able to prevent such tragedies if it has more means of counter-battery warfare, more artillery and more long-range ammunition.
Thus, russian murderers will be punished and driven out from Ukraine.

In situations like this, I am reminded of FDR's words: "We must be the great arsenal of democracy." That was 80 years ago, and it is still the case today.
Ukraine adheres to the principle that democracy should defend itself.
